SGA president speaks at pro-Israel conference Student groups opposed Allen’s Sunday speech before AIPAC Multiple University @victoria_ebner of Maryland a c t iv i s t o rStaff writer ganizations have voiced their disapproval of SGA president Jonathan Allen’s speech at a pro-Israel conference. Allen gave a speech on proIsrael advocacy on college campuses at the American by

Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. After news of this surfaced on social media last week, six student groups signed a letter expressing concern that his appearance at the conference would give the impression that he speaks for the entire student body, including those who sympathize with Palestinians.

The letter was sent Thursday to university President Wallace Loh, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Student Government Association’s Diversity and Inclusion committee. “The SGA President has every right to attend such a conference within his individual capacity or as a representative of other campus organizations he is affiliated with,” the letter reads. “However, it is unethical of Allen to attend the AIPAC conference representing the entire University

After controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) criticisms of Israel and its relationship with the U.S., at least seven Democratic presidential candidates have said they won’t be attending. In response, President Trump has accused the Democratic Party of being “anti-Jewish.” Currently, 47 members of Congress — 25 Democrats and 22 Republicans — are slated to speak at the conference, according to its website. Students for Justice in Pal-

estine, one of the groups that signed the letter, has said that AIPAC’s views on Israel are not representative of the student body. “AIPAC is an organization that has a history of Islamophobia and anti-Arab rhetoric,” said Shivam Shukla, a member of SJP. “[Allen] going as the SGA president is basically giving the idea that the whole student body — or at least the majority of the student body See aipac, p. 3

of Maryland undergraduate student body, especially when students were never informed nor asked about this matter.” The annual conference, currently being held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, is regarded as the “largest gathering of America’s pro-Israel community,” according to AIPAC’s website. While the conference has long hosted politicians and speakers from across the political spectrum, it’s been more polarizing this year.

Fewer sexual misconduct investigations last year, despite spike in reports Reports have increased about 122 percent since Title IX office’s founding By Leah Brennan | @allhaeleah | Senior staff writer

Student activists want to make the role permanent The University of Maryland has extended its undocumented student coordinator position to June of next year — but advocates are still pushing for the role to become permanent. The role is intended to provide assistance — such as financial guidance, emotional support and advice on their status — to the undocumented student population. Following President Donald Trump’s election in 2016, a coalition of student activist groups known as ProtectUMD issued 64 demands, including the creation of an undocumented student coordinator position. Laura Bohorquez Garcia has held the position since fall 2017. Her contract was initially set to expire this year — something student activists had expressed concern about — but administrators decided last semester to extend the job until June 2020. When the post was created in spring 2017, this university saw an unpredictable national context that “was driving a lot of the distress” from students, said student affairs assistant vice president Warren Kelley. As a candidate, Trump took a hardline stance on illegal immigration. In August 2015, he said he would rescind DACA — the Obamaera policy that provided work permits to some undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children — if elected president, telling NBC News that “they have to go.” “We didn’t know where that was going to go or how it would resolve or change. And so part of this was just, let’s continue with this temporary position as long as we see a need and the situation stays volatile and unpredictable,” Kelley said. “Well, fast forward two years … it was still as volatile as ever.” Since Trump’s election, he’s announced he would rescind DACA, a decision that’s been held by the courts pending further legal review. The White House has also canceled Temporary Protected Status — a shortterm designation for immigrants affected by armed conflict or natural disasters — for some groups, including Salvadorans and Haitians. The contract extension is aimed to give the campus community “breathing room” for the coordinator to continue her work, carry on with meetings of the undocumented student working group and further examine campus needs, Kelley said. But, as Political Latinxs United for Movement and Action in Society president Blanca Arriola Palma noted, the challenges facing

he University of Maryland fielded a record amount of reports and complaints of student sexual misconduct last year — but it also conducted fewer investigations than ever before. In the 2017-18 academic year, the Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct received 249 reports of potential misconduct, 91 of which became formal complaints. That was a spike from 208 reports and 80 complaints the year before. But the number of investigations dropped from 27 in 2016-17, an all-time high for the office, to 16 last academic year, an all-time low, according to the fourth annual Sexual Misconduct Report. Reports have increased by about 122 percent from when the office was first established in 2014, while complaints have risen nearly 90 percent. The number of investigations last year, though, was lower than each of OCRSM’s first three years. Andrea Goodwin, who acted as the office’s interim codirector since its previous director stepped down in August, said it was “really good” to see a high volume of reports, since it indicates awareness of the reporting process. Goodwin did not attribute the lower number of investigations to any particular cause, saying the pathway to an investigation is “really case-dependent.” “Sometimes, complainants don’t want to move forward with an investigation, but we do get reports from all over the campus community,” she said. While “reports” indicate potential complaints of sexual misconduct, “complaints” reflect students who are engaging with the university to address it, Goodwin said. A “significant number” of reports are secondhand, said Steve Petkas, the office’s other co-director, and are often made through the responsible university employee program, which requires campus employees to inform the Title IX director of any potential sexual misconduct brought to their attention. “They don’t come straight from an alleged victim who might later become a complainant,” Petkas said.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR CRIME BLOTTER By Jeff Barnes | @thejeffbarnes | Senior staff writer University of Maryland Police responded to reports of an attempted carjacking, fire, damage to state property and several DWI/DUIs over the past two weeks, according to daily crime logs.

ATTEMPTED CARJACKING At ab out 3:30 p.m . T u e s d a y, Un i v e r s i t y Police responded to an attempted carjacking near Norwich Road and Dartmouth Avenue. A juven i le ma le attempted to open the driver’s side door of a vehicle occupied by a fema le university employee but was unable to enter it, police spokesperson Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas wrote in an email. Pol ice located the suspect with two other juvenile males, and the three were transported to the Pocomoke Building for processing. Two of the juveniles were released to their guardians and one is being charged with attempted carjacking, Hoaas wrote. This case is active.

FIRE On Monday at about 9:40 p.m., University Police responded to a report of a trash can fire at Courtyards. A woman reported she saw the fire a few minutes earlier and called 911. The fire was extinguished and the fire marshal’s office was notified, Hoaas wrote. T he ex tent of the damages has not been determined. Police are reviewing video surveillance of the area.

This case is active.

DAMAGE TO STATE PROPERTY On March 12, just before 9 a.m., University Police responded to a report of state property damage at University House, the designated home of the university president. A male university employee reported multiple tire marks on the front lawn and damage to a tree and the sprinkler system, Hoaas wrote. F u r t he r i nve s t i gation determined the tire marks came from a larger vehicle, “possibly a semitruck/large trailer,” and that the vehicle damaged the items as it attempted to maneuver the traffic circle, Hoaas wrote. Police are reviewing video surveillance of the area. This case is active.

Ex-student guilty of speeding in fatal crash Elijah Shabazz was fined $130 for the crash that killed Maria Fisher The former University Nora Eckert @NoraEckert of Maryland student who Staff writer struck and killed freshman Maria Fisher while driving on Route 1 was found guilty of speeding and fined $130 on Wednesday. Police had previously determined that Elijah Shabazz, 25, was not at fault for the collision. Fisher did not have a by

walk signal when she ran across Route 1 at the Campus Drive intersection early in the morning of Oct. 1, 2017. Based on surveillance footage, police estimate Shabazz was driving 42 mph about 300 feet before the intersection — with a posted speed limit of 25 mph — and that he was going 29 mph when his vehicle struck Fisher. Shabazz incurred three

said the crash was “a horrible accident that has affected my client greatly,” while Shabazz stood solemnly next to him in a blue suit. deStwolinski declined to comment further after the trial. The accident report said Shabazz remained at the scene of the crash, where an officer found him “hysterical and crying.” Authorities say alcohol was not a factor in Shabazz’s operation of the vehicle. The police report lists his BAC as .02 — significantly below the state’s legal limit of .08 — and

charges: driving a vehicle in excess of a reasonable and prudent speed on the highway, failing to control vehicle speed on the highway to avoid a collision and driving a vehicle on the highway at a speed exceeding the limit. Each charge carried a recommended fine of $130, but the state dropped the first two in advance of Wednesday’s trial because the third charge was expected to have the greatest likelihood of a conviction, said assistant state’s attorney Christopher Monte, who handled the case.

AIPAC From p. 1 supports this position or supports AIPAC.” But Allen said he didn’t expect conference attendees to assume he’s speaking for the entire university. “For someone to believe that 30,000 students can be in agreement is unrealistic,” the senior government and politics major said.

MISCONDUCT From p. 1 In 2017-18, 16 of the 91 cases that moved to the complaint category resulted in investigations. Of those 16, nine were completed. Additionally, 12 investigations were completed after being opened during the 2016-17 year. Fourteen students were found responsible for some form of sexual misconduct, and five were expelled because of it. The cases ranged from relationship violence and sexual exploitation to Sexual A ssa u l t I a n d I I , wh i c h the office defines as rape a n d u nwa n te d to u c h i n g o f i n t i m a te b o dy pa r ts,

behalf. But the student groups want Allen to make a public statement clarifying that. “This is not a matter of picking sides,” the letter reads. “This is a matter of accurately representing the views of the student body and of the SGA.” Blanca Arriola Palma, the president of Political Latinxs United for Movement and Action in Society, helped write the letter. She said Allen should have no problem clarifying his reason for attending. “It might so happen to be that Jonathan Allen is not intending to attend this in his capacity as SGA president,”

said Arriola Palma, a senior government and politics major. “If that’s the case, then there shouldn’t be any issue coming out with a statement.” T h i s wa s t h e s eve n t h time Allen has attended the conference, and his third time as a speaker. He said he’d make a disclaimer before he spoke that all views are his own. Allen has also spoken to administrators about putting out additional statements to ensure students are satisfied. “Do I think it’s necessary? No. But will I do it? Sure,” he said. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become a more

contentious issue in the last few years. In January, an alumnus o f t h i s u n ive rs i ty s u e d Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and Democratic attorney g e n e ra l B r i a n Fr o s h i n response to an executive order that would force Maryland companies to pledge they would not boycott Israel. In November 2017, the SGA shot down a bill that would have called on this university to divest from companies that do business with Israel. After 61 students gave their thoughts on the bill — with the majority opposing it — the Student

Affairs committee voted 21-1 with three abstentions to give the legislation an unfavorable review. Both Shukla and Arriola Palma emphasized they didn’t want to prevent Allen from attending the conference — they just wish he’d let them know he was going from the start. “That is a matter that should have been up for discussion within the SGA legislation or something that students overall on campus should have the had the opportunity to express their concerns with,” Arriola Palma said.

S h u k l a , a s o p h o m o re co m p u te r sc i e n ce a n d environmental science and policy major, said if Allen was planning to go to the conference, he should have informed students first — instead of leaving them to find out on social media. “It was like a slap in the face,” he said. Allen said that while he’s aware of some students’ concerns, they might be a little unrealistic. “Am I supposed to ask every student for permission?” Allen said.

Union chose not to make the position permanent because they have yet to find permanent funding for it, Kelley wrote in an email. When Bohorquez Garcia first found out about the extension, she was confused about how the additional time could help her plan for the current semester, what support and funding for the position would look like and how she would share the news with students. “How do we give them next steps?” she asked. “How do I have next steps? How do I plan

for programs? How do I plan for resources?” She also has to weigh whether it would make sense for her personally to continue in the role for an additional year, since benefits for contract positions are more expensive than they are for permanent employees. “If it was solely based on the work that I do, and who I get to work with, and the relationship-building across units, I think I would be more inclined to say yes right away,” she said. She did not feel comfortable

saying whether she plans to continue in the role. The university is currently searching for a “permanent home” for the position, said Donna Lim, an associate director in Stamp. Steps to get there include making a plan for long-term funding, and determining whether it should remain in Stamp or move to another office. Kelley set an April 15 deadline for assessing the best office for the position, a goal he thinks the university is “on track with,” he wrote in an email Sunday.

At a Student Government Association meeting earlier this month, students in PLUMAS, as well as others who said they’ve benefitted from Bohorquez Garcia’s guidance, spoke about why the position should be here to stay. The SGA voted to support making the role a permanent fixture at this university. This week, PLUMAS plans to reach out the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Office of Undergraduate Studies, among others, to explain the coordinator’s

importance to each office, said Arriola Palma. The group also plans to encourage administrators to hold an open forum with students who use the position, she added. “We don’t want this position to continue on the loop of it having to be renewed based on contracts of one year or two,” said Arriola Palma, a senior government and politics major. “This is a permanent resource that needs to be on campus.”

respectively. Five students were found re s p o n s i b l e f o r S e x u a l Assault I. Three of them were expelled, while one was suspended and the other had a “suspension withheld” — meaning the student wasn’t removed from campus, but their behavior was “serious enough” that there are terms they’d have to follow to avoid getting dismissed, Goodwin said. “There are no automatic penalties in the conduct process, even for sexual misconduct, so a number of factors go into determining a sanction,” she said. “We make a determination based o n ea c h c a s e . . . . We ’re constantly using judgment

based on what we know about a circumstance and about a case.” Eight complaints from the 2017-18 year were labeled as “informal resolutions,” but no definition is included. This designation did not appear in any of the three previous reports. An informal resolution “encompass[es] referrals to campus partners, interim protective measures, and complaintant requests,” a university spokesperson wrote in an email. The U.S. Department of Education has three open i nve s t i ga t i o n s i n to t h i s university’s handling of sexual violence issues, according to the Chronicle of Higher

Education’s Title IX tracker. For the past two years, the university has distributed the report in January. When asked why the report came two months later this year, Goodwin said there was “no particular reason, really.” T h e o f f i c e ’s f o r m e r permanent director, Catherine Carroll — who had been outspoken about how the

office was understaffed and underfunded — resigned in August to work for Fairfax Co u n ty P u b l i c Sc h o o l s. Shortly after, three other staffers also stepped down, and the university announced they’d brought on two new employees in September. O C R S M ’s n ewe s t permanent director, Grace K a r m i o l — w h o s e r ve d

as a T itle IX coordinator at Widener University in Pennsylvania — officially assumed her role last week. “We’re very excited that she’s here, she’s wonderful,” Goodwin said. “So we look forward to seeing what she can do over the next months — and years, hopefully.”

UMD’s “Giving Day” misses the point OLIVIA DELAPLAINE @ODelaplaine Columnist

I’m glad we’re all finally realizing college is a scam. The internet lit up Tuesday with news and commentary on the FBI investigation of celebrities accused of committing bribery and cheating to get their kids into selective colleges. The attention and outrage surrounding this scandal is well-deserved, but transactions involving large sums of private money between wealthy donors and universities are nothing new. My social media feed was bombarded recently with posts promoting the University of Maryland’s Giving Day. Once a year, each academic college and campus office sets up a fund and promotes its own fundraising goal, encouraging students, faculty and their families to donate money to the offices and departments that impact them most. The wealthiest donors even pledge to match certain donation amounts with their own funds. Frankly, the practice is insulting. Most students and their families already pay thousands of dollars every year in tuition and fees. Undergraduate student workers, graduate students, staff and some faculty are already grossly overworked and underpaid. Asking them to take even more money out of their paycheck to support their own department is exploitative and wildly hypocritical. Additionally, the aggressive focus on private giving comes at the same time that those departments are not adequately funded by the university’s existing consistent revenue sources. Critical services, scholarships, faculty salaries and programs increasingly depend on individual donations, private grants and large fundraising events. The privatization of university resources hurts the university community. Private money is an unsustainable source that can be doled out — or taken away — at the whim of the donor without institutional accountability or oversight. A wealthy donor can offer to match funding one year and take it away the next. A donor can steer the use of their funding to match their own interests — students and faculty, on the other hand, have little say in how their contributions are used. When private donors are the dominant voices, we get an Iribe Center that doesn’t have enough space for undergraduate students. We get a massive Cole Field House

that displaces student parking and student groups in favor of a greedy athletics budget. We get a university so insistent on pursuing development in College Park that it leaves our most vulnerable residents and students behind. When financial aid, facilities improvements, research grants and more are neglected in favor of the desires of the wealthy, we abandon our educational mission and become a facilitator of private greed and exploitation. And when critical services don’t get the consistent revenue they need and program workloads are devoted to fundraising, there is less time for staff and faculty to care for students or help them learn. The result of all this is that students from wealthy families get ahead, compounding their existing privileges, while students without access to those networks are left further behind. Worse, it may be more challenging for them to be admitted to a university under a system that increasingly rewards those who can pay full tuition and whose parents can donate or claim a legacy connection. It doesn’t just happen at private schools; public schools like this university are guilty, too. Students and employees at this university shouldn’t have to be unpaid public relations officials, development coordinators or recruiters. And we cannot be complacent and allow wealthy donors to believe this university exists to serve them, uphold their interests and churn out people who look, think and act just like them. Our administration’s choice to prioritize fundraising in an endless pursuit of higher rankings and prestige has helped create the outsized influence of wealthy donors at the expense of students and workers. To combat the malicious infiltration of private money into our public university systems, we must radically shift our university’s priorities, as well as our tactics for eliciting support. The conversation around future university leadership must also include changes in how finances are governed, making all information transparent and publicly accessible and opening positions to students and employees to provide input on the budget. There are a wide variety of actions we can take, but no matter what, this university should first and foremost serve its students and employees.

This university needs to fully fund its departments instead of relying on private donors.

College admissions were always unfair JASMINE BATEN @OpinionDBK Columnist

The scandal surrounding college admissions to elite universities has dominated the news recently. The revelation that exorbitantly wealthy parents have rigged the SATs and bribed coaches has been incendiary and controversial. But this shouldn’t come as a surprise. The idea that wealthy white parents can buy their children’s ways into prestigious universities isn’t new — it’s just the way they did it is a little stunning. Backlash to the scandal has involved an incredible thread of tongue-in-cheek memes and, most recently, a lawsuit against universities including Stanford, USC, Yale and Georgetown. While a scandal like this should theoretically threaten the legitimacy of the elite universities involved — and lead to drastic changes in the way that their admissions processes work — the problem runs much deeper. Higher education in the United States is an institution that is fundamentally prejudiced and steeped in privilege. Wealthy families have the ability to set their kids up for college acceptance with college preparatory classes, advisors, schools with more funding and opportunities, impressive extracurriculars — the list goes on. There’s also

the matter of legacy admissions and family donations, which disproportionately favor white students over any other group. The system is twisted and constantly works against poorer students of color. But it works for the colleges. While they purport to be hubs of learning that prioritize education above all else, the truth is that colleges are companies trying to keep their business running as successfully as possible. Their ultimate goal is to make money, which is helped by the admission of legacy students and students who don’t require financial aid. Even though the regular sort of corruption and the recent discovery of fraud and bribery is disgusting, colleges only benefit — so why would they change? Yes, universities will probably work to ensure that nothing quite as egregious as buying SAT scores and fake positions on sports teams happens again. But that doesn’t mean the problem is eliminated. The norm of admissions turning down “applicationally disadvantaged” students still exists. For the problem behind this scandal to truly be addressed, these deeply rooted systems of privilege need to be deconstructed. These universities probably won’t face dire consequences for admitting students with fake credentials even if con-

victions come out of this. It’s just not realistic to assume that students will stop applying to Yale and Georgetown, or that potential employers will turn away students from USC and Stanford. Whether their names are smeared in the news this week or not, these universities aren’t under enough pressure to change, because their prestige is too well-known. We’ve seen this before. Controversies at universities, such as numerous incidents of swastikas being found and police being called on black students at Georgetown and Yale, have ultimately led to nothing but continued respect and recognition for the schools. Essentially, these colleges have no motivation to change, because nothing — including a scandal like this — can threaten their elite status. But they should. Universities should provide equal opportunities for students of different backgrounds to be admitted. They should refuse to take part in cycles of privilege that prioritize one type of student at the expense of others. They should change their business mindset to one that centers on the education of students, and they should work for potential students, not potential consumers. jasminebaten137@gmail.com

UMD shouldn’t cater to defense companies ZACHARY JABLOW @OpinionDBK Opinion Editor

The noxious influence of the defense industry and the military at the University of Maryland hasn’t gone unnoticed. My colleague Max Foley-Keene has criticized this university for its continuing ties to major defense contractors in light of the profits they’ve turned from aggression in Yemen, for one. Former Diamondback columnist Jack Lewis implored this university to stop developing drones for the military in a piece last year. There are few programs on the campus where the presence of the defense industry and the Defense Department is more apparent than the Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students honors program. Part of this university’s honors college, ACES is a living-learning academic program that provides students with training and preparation for careers in the field of cybersecurity. It was founded in 2013 thanks to a $1.1 million donation from its “founding sponsor,” defense technology giant Northrop Grumman. As a major defense contractor, Northrop Grumman manufactures weapons and technology for militaries. For example, it produced some of the drones used to carry out worldwide U.S. bombing campaigns that many legal scholars say violate international law. The company is a quintessential part of the military-industrial complex, whereby close collaboration between the defense industry and the government results in the perpetuation of violence in

the name of power and profit. Not coincidentally, ACES also has a “close partnership” with the National Security Agency, the Defense Department agency widely known for its overreaching surveillance practices. Just this week, ACES hosted an event with the NSA in honor of their relationship. ACES is surprisingly forthcoming about the fact that the defense industry and the DOD exert influence over its mission and direction. According to its website, “ACES was built with external partners in mind … Because of the unique nature of the creation of this program ... we request a monetary donation from corporate collaborators.” Northrop Grumman’s donation to help launch the program ensured it can provide guest lecturers, advisors and internships. When ACES was founded, the company was also permitted to sit on its advisory board. And for its partnership with the program, the NSA also supplies instructors, research advisors and internships to students. The close relationship between these defense organizations and an academic program at this university is deeply troubling. While other programs, such as the honors college’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation program, have corporate sponsors — objectionable in its own right — ACES is unique in that it was practically founded by Northrop Grumman and serves to meet the company’s needs as well as those of the DOD. Th e ino rdinate power Northrop Grumman and the NSA wield in ACES is badly out

of place at an academic institution. Students can’t expect to receive a balanced education when their curricula are designed, in part, to please a defense contractor and an intelligence agency — not to mention the fact that their instructors often come from those same organizations. Any attempt by outside organizations to influence the structure and curricula of academic programs should be met with scrutiny. But these aren’t your run-of-the-mill organizations: Northrop Grumman stands to profit from war and military aggression around the world, while the NSA’s various spying and surveillance campaigns on civilians have been well-documented. Academic programs must treat these institutions critically, not partner with them. If students receive training in cybersecurity in college and go on to work in the defense industry, so be it. But by no means should a university’s programs be tailored to accommodate the DOD and defense contractors. Many departments and programs on the campus have an eye toward professional development and preparation for entering the workforce. They host companies at career fairs, facilitate internships and help students build a network. But there’s a point at which an ostensibly academic program is simply too cozy with unsavory corporations and intelligence agencies — and ACES is well beyond that point. zachjablow@gmail.com

Late LSU layup topples Terps lsu From p. 12 The T igers pushed the lead back to 10, but poor three-point shooting — they missed 11 of their first 12 after halftime — opened the door for Maryland. “We’ve been like that all year,” Cowan said. “We just never stop fighting.” Smith, Ayala and guard Darryl Morsell all scored to cut the lead to five with about 12 minutes left, and S m i t h d ra i n e d two f re e throws to cap eight straight points and put the Terps a h ea d , 57 - 5 5 , a b o u t s i x minutes later.

scorers and kicked off a thrilling finish. Mays, forward Naz Reid and guard Javonte Smart traded blows w i t h Aya l a , S m i t h a n d forward Bruno Fernando. Up two with less than two minutes left, the Terps forced a pair of close-range misses, and a mass of bodies from both teams fought for the rebounds. Maryland couldn’t corral possession, and when Mays was fouled on a third attempt, he tied the game again at the foul line, part of his game-high 16 points. T h e n , Aya l a m i s s e d a wide-open look, and Mays nailed his lightly contested one with 36.8 seconds l e f t , e n s u r i n g a 2 - fo r-1

opportunity. “ G rea t p l aye rs m a ke great plays,” Benford said. “That’s why we’re moving on.” Smith provided the best possible answer to Mays’ triple, but it still left the Terps unable to get the ball back, again putting their season at the mercy of an opposing playmaker. Unlike Belmont, the Tigers didn’t miss the opportunity. Reid set a high screen, and Waters snuck past Smith and got the shot off before Fernando could come over to swat it. Maryland had entered the tournament under significant pressure, with Turgeon at risk of going three years

without a postseason win despite having at least three NBA draft picks during that span. The close win over Belmont is likely to quiet the near-annual calls for Turgeon’s firing, and having the fourth-youngest team in the country is a more valid explanation for perceived underperformance than some he’s trotted out in the past. But that doesn’t ease the pain of limiting an opponent to 19 points in the first 15 minutes of the second half, only to see the gamewinner fall in without any time to answer. “We went up three.

Terps defense stymies Radford radford From p. 12 O n S a t u r d a y, M a r y l a n d d i d n ’t fa ce a nyo n e c l ose to re se m b l i n g t h e All-American. R a d fo rd wa s h e l d to a derisory 29.7 percent from the field, as the Big South champion had no answer for the Terps’ superior athleticism. The home side repeatedly jumped passing lanes, and the Highlanders, frequently misjudging Maryland’s length, obliged with 17 giveaways. “In the Big South, there’s nobody that long, especially [forward Shakira Austin],” Walker said. “She and the

rest of the team is long.” Austin, an All-Big Ten Defensive team selection, racked up four steals against Radford by encroaching passing lanes with her 6-foot-5 frame. Meanwhile, coach B re n d a Fre s e i n te r m i t tently switched to zone to further keep the visitors off balance. As Maryland’s steals rose to 11 — its most since facing Indiana on Jan. 27 — it became increasingly obvious how ill-prepared the Highlanders were for the Terps’ defense. “We’ve seen zone and press all year. We haven’t s e e n l e n g t h l i k e t h a t ,” R a d f o rd c e n te r Syd n e y Nunley said. “I really do

b e l i e ve i t w a s j u s t t h e length, not so much about how they were defending us.” Radford’s 51-point total was the lowest Maryland had allowed in more than a month, since a 62-48 win over then-No. 20 Rutgers on Feb. 10. But the Big Ten regular-season champions were far from one-dimensional Saturday. After notching a relatively pedestrian 33 points in the first half, the Terps exploded for 25 in the third quarter alone. Guard Taylor Mikesell, a game after being held without a triple for the first time this season against Iowa, scored eight points — including a pair of

threes — in the third frame to heighten Maryland’s edge to as high as 25 points. Both long-range makes came on the fast break. “It all started on the defensive end, and we started flowing together,” Mikesell said. “My teammates found me in transition and they started going in.” If you ask Radford coach M ike McGuire, the game was decided by the glacial start that preceded Walker’s sixth-minute 3-pointer. The Terps (29-4) were intrusive during the early stages, and despite a brief run by the Highlanders to get within arm’s reach, the higher seed eventually rekindled their success at the onset to pull

guards taylor mikesell and kaila charles led the Terps in scoring against Radford. Mikesell bounced back after just six points against Iowa in the Big Ten title game. alex chen/the diamondback away. The win sets up a date with No. 6-seeded UCLA (21-12) in a second-round tilt on Monday, and the Bruins won’t be surprised by Maryland’s size. “Obviously the start to

City restaurants

16 food service facilities cited for health code violations Six locations had critical offenses, which can cause foodborne illness The Prince abundance and on surfaces

near the food prep area (miGeorge’s Jeff Barnes crowave racks, shelving, in @thejeffbarnes County Senior staff writer H e a l t h D e - the dry storage areas),” the partment found a “great abundance” of mouse droppings last month in Ten Ren’s Tea Time, one of many College Park businesses with critical health violations in recent weeks. Over the past 30 days, the department cited 16 city food service facilities for health code violations, six of which were critical violations — the most serious infractions, which can directly cause foodborne illness. Those violations must be corrected immediately while a county inspector is on-site. Otherwise, the facility is closed until the issue can be resolved. After a visit from a county inspector on Feb. 27, Ten Ren’s, a bubble tea restaurant, had to close “due to an excessive amount of mice activity observed within the store,” according to an inspection report obtained by The Diamondback through a public information request. But on its Facebook page, the restaurant said it was closed “due to kitchen technical issues” and would re-open the next day. “Droppings were observed throughout the store in great

The store remained closed, though the business attributed the extended shuttering to “Kitchen Renovation and Spring Cleaning” in a March 1 post on its Facebook page. It didn’t reopen until March 4, the date inspectors filed a re-inspection report saying they found no evidence of mice and allowed the store to open its doors once again. Ten Ren’s Tea Time did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Other critical violations occurred at R.J. Bentley’s, Cluckster’s, Mamma Lucia, the South Campus Dining Hall and Sabra Deli at Maryland Hillel.

R.J. BENTLEY’S During a March 6 inspection, Bentley’s was cited for a critical violation for chicken, steak and sliced tomatoes being held above maximum temperature — 41 degrees Fahrenheit — on the refrigerated prep table. The report states the food

was moved to the walk-in refrigerator. Since the food wasn’t outside of the appropriate range for more than four hours, it didn’t have to be thrown away. Inspectors also found a dead mouse near the soda syrup racks and mouse droppings throughout the facility, according to the report. The inspection report didn’t detail what was immediately done to fix those issues. R . J. Be n t l ey ’s d i d n o t respond to multiple requests for comment.

CLUCKSTER’S C l u c k s te r ’s w a s a l s o cited for a critical violation of food being held above temperature. Cheese was held above the maximum temperature for more than four hours, and the manager discarded it, according to a March 4 inspection report. I n s p e c to rs a l so fo u n d several insecticide sprayers and cans of Raid throughout the facility, and noted that the “application of pesticides must be conducted by a licensed professional.” This was just a “good retail practice” violation, which is a less serious designation, according to inspection forms. Good retail practice violations are “preventative measures to control the introduc-

tion of pathogens, chemicals and physical objects into foods,” forms read. Cluckster’s did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

MAMMA LUCIA During a Feb. 25 inspection of Mamma Lucia, one employee “was observed not removing their gloves and washing their hands after handling raw chicken and then engaging in other food prep activities,” which is a critical violation. The report also found that all employees lacked hair restraints, a personal soda was stored in the ice bin, a deep pan was used as an ice scoop and lettuce and raw chicken wings were being stored uncovered in the walk-in refrigerator. Restaurant owner Jimmy Constantinou wrote in an email that he “took care of everything I needed to take care of.”

SABRA DELI AT MARYLAND HILLEL A Feb. 26 inspection of the Sabra Deli at Maryland Hillel found one critical violation — cooked steak and rice being held above the maximum temperature. Inspectors also found a box of melon being stored on the floor of the walk-in refrigtor,

John Gallagher, the general manager of campus services at Hillel, said they had received two deliveries that morning, and the delivery person moved both items. “We try to keep on top of those things, but every once in a while a delivery guy leaves something on the counter — he knows he shouldn’t have put it out there but he did,” Gallagher said. “Sometimes things happen.”

SOUTH CAMPUS DINING HALL I n s p e c to rs a l so fo u n d critical violations on campus during an inspection of South Campus Dining Hall on Feb. 28. Inspectors found ham, feta cheese, diced tomatoes and diced cucumbers being stored above the maximum holding temperature. The ham was placed in a blast chiller for cooling and the other items — found at the Jalapeno Grill

— were put on ice. The inspector also found the cold well unit was not functioning properly — a good retail practice violation. Dining Services spokesperson Bart Hipple could not immediately be reached for comment, but a March 4 re-inspection found that the cold well unit was functioning properly.

review: Tokyo Police Club rocked with passion at DC9 The Canadian indie rockers are riding the wave of a 14-year career By Allison O’Reilly | @ allisonsoreilly | Diversions Editor

okyo Police Club know how to command a stage and entrance a crowd — even when the stage is hardly elevated in the corner of a bar, and the crowd is fewer than 200 people. At DC9 on March 15, the Canadian rockers treated the tiny club stage like it was the most important venue they’d ever play. Their sound is large and powerful — ferocious electric guitar riffs fill each song, and lead singer Dave Monks’ unmistakably unique voice adds an “angry high school garage band” layer to their mature musicianship — but it fit perfectly in the compact venue. D u r i n g t h e p e r fo r m a n ce , Monks flawlessly executed the role of the rock-and-roll frontman. He was charismatic and warm, creating intimacy in the room that made their set more than just any old concert — it was a show worth remembering.

Many of the most memorable moments stemmed from Monks’ star power. During one song, he stepped into the crowd, bass and all, and performed standing among his fans. In another, he removed his mic from the stand and whipped it around on stage like a windmill. Tokyo Police Club formed in 2005, so they had about 14 years worth of musical growth to display on stage. They are currently on tour promoting their 2018 release, TPC. The first half of the setlist mostly consisted of tracks from TPC, displaying their ability to put on an incredible performance without relying on the nostalgia-factor of their 2000sbased stardom. They opened the night with high-energy, exciting tracks such as “New Blues,” “Favourite Colour” and “Hercules,” before settling into the more somber, but still demanding,

“Simple Dude.” Lead guitarist Josh Hook absolutely shined throughout the concert, shredding through each track with precision, passion and excitement. He regularly lowered and widened his stance while lost in a jam, fixating the room on his mystifying solos. When the show was coming to an end, Monks told the crowd that they would perform two more songs, even though their setlist only listed one more. They would have ended the performance with “Tessellate,” but they decided to add “Your English Is Good.” Both of those songs are from their 2008 album Elephant Shell, but “Your English Is Good” was the perfect note to close out a powerful performance. The song was laden with powerful guitar solos and the audience

was hyped to sing along with the “Oh, give us your vote” chant at the top of the track. Tokyo Police Club may not be the most iconic band to come out of the 2000s indie rock movement, but their live performance shows they’re a musical force to be reckoned with, and they have no plans of changing who they are.

ith his senior season nearing its conclusion, Maryland wrestling heavyweight Youssif Hemida found himself mired in a slump, losing four straight matches by a combined score of just 18-8. Hemida’s inability to score late in matches was quickly becoming the defining aspect of his final year as a Terp. But with a 3-1 overtime win over George Mason’s Matt Voss on Feb. 17, Hemida got back on track and turned his season around. The postseason came at the perfect time for Hemida, when his confidence and his offense were in full swing. He placed third at the Big Ten tournament and sixth at the NCAA tournament, securing himself a second straight AllAmerican finish and ending his Maryland career in style. “It’s amazing,” Hemida said. “I wanted to win a national championship, but I’m happy. Not satisfied, but happy.” At last year’s NCAA tournament, Hemida faced Lehigh’s Jordan Wood in the round of 12, known as the “blood round.” But during a first-period takedown by Hemida, Wood injured his wrist and was unable to continue. While the injury default meant Hemida achieved All-American status, it didn’t quite sit well with the Terp. This year, he earned the All-American title on his own accord. “This was definitely harder than last year,” Hemida said with a laugh. “It’s not like I wasn’t worthy last year, but this year it feels really good.” Hemida left no doubt as he dom-

Hemida couldn’t keep the momentum going on day three, as losses to Minnesota’s Gable Steveson and Oregon State’s Amar Dhesi ended his run. Still, the Mamaroneck, New York, native finished his college career on a high note. The third-place finish at the Big Ten championships and sixthplace finish at the NCAA championships were the best in Hemida’s career — and the best for the program since it joined the Big Ten.

The strike restored Tom Hindle @Thomas_Hindle_ maining in a six-goal lead for the Terps, the second and began a scoring burst that Staff writer half of No. 2 Maryland women’s lacrosse’s contest against No. 6 James Madison on Sunday, the Terps needed a goal to reignite their offense. Maryland had gone almost 12 minutes out of the break without a score, and though the squad still had a five-goal edge, they had lost their foothold on the game. The defense weathered the storm, though, allowing just one goal during the stretch. Then, off a free position chance, midfielder Erica Evans found fellow midfielder Meghan Siverson for

turned a relatively close game into a blowout. While it took some time to get going, a strong final 20 minutes on both ends of the field carried Maryland to an 18-5 win against the reigning national champions. “Overall we had a great performance,” coach Cathy Reese said.“From start to finish we saw a lot from a bunch of players.” On the opening possession, Maryland (10-0) immediately faced pressure from a stingy James Madison (7-3) defense. But attacker Kali Hartshorn found an opening. With six seconds remaining in the shot

clock, the senior threaded a pass through to Evans, who finished under pressure to establish a 1-0 lead that wouldn’t be relinquished. “People were just cutting at the right time and we were all capitalizing on those chances,” Hartshorn said. Due to aggressive defense, the two teams combined for four turnovers in the first five minutes. Maryland had a response to the physical play, though. Off a free position opportunity, Siverson found midfielder Grace Griffin for a 2-0 lead. Midfielder Jen Giles benefitted from a similar set play just two minutes later, and the Terps looked to be in control with a three-goal advantage. The Dukes stuck around, pressuring the Maryland defense and forcing a loose ball following

a blocked shot. Attacker Maddie McDaniel reaped the benefits of her team’s hustle, picking up the ground ball and finishing into an almost empty net. For the next few minutes, the teams traded shots to no avail. But Giles reopened the scoring with 18:26 remaining in the half, evading multiple defenders for a highlight reel finish and her second goal of the day. Though they shot a meager 27 percent, the Dukes were still causing problems in other areas, forcing the Terps into eight first half turnovers and staying close on draw controls. The hustle plays kept them within four for most of the half. But Maryland wouldn’t surrender its lead. For every James Madison forced turnover, the Terps seemed to produce one of their own. Maryland began to over-

whelm the Dukes, and with goals from Evans, attacker Brindi Griffin and Grace Griffin to close the half, the Terps held a 9-3 lead. To start the second half, Maryland was out-hustled on a draw control, and the Dukes immediately went on offense. McDaniel found space inside the arc and finished past Taylor to set the stage for a potential comeback. The Terps struggled on offense, missing shots and going 12 minutes without a goal. However, they eventually came alive. After the unprecedented scoring drought, Maryland caught fire with five goals in just more than five minutes of game time. “They threw a bunch of different defenses at us,” Reese said. “I thought our team did a nice job adjusting.” While James Madison contin-

ued to create some looks, Maryland’s defense held strong for the remainder of the game. “On the defensive end, we did a really nice job of sticking with our scouting report and limiting offensive opportunities that they had,” Reese said. After Giles capped the scoring burst with her fourth goal of the game with 13 minutes remaining, Maryland began to substitute out its starters, as it often has in its frequent blowouts. So despite a slow start to the half, Maryland weathered the physical game, and easily toppled the Dukes to continue its perfect start. “[We are] definitely an awesome team this year on and off the field,” defender Julia Braig said.“You can see that in the way we’ve been playing.” sportsdbk@gmail.com

The midfielder used a swim move to free himself at the front of the crease, where Tar Heel defender Jack Rowlett slid over and laid him out, with an emphatic hit that drew the ire of the Terps’ sideline. The hit left DeMaio sprawled out, in need of some attention from the trainers — though he said he was OK postgame — and served as the final blow in a by

physical game from both sides. No. 19 North Carolina’s heavy reliance on physicality gave the No. 4 Terps some trouble, but it also served as a vulnerability for coach John Tillman’s team to exploit with increased passing and off-ball movement. “We kind of talked about this [being] the most athletic team we played,” Tillman said. “We were like, ‘Listen, it’s going to take us a little bit longer to get leverage … so just don’t get frustrated.” The defense that North Carolina showed matched what the team had prepared for throughout the week — heavy checking, playing tight on-ball defense and

congesting shooting and passing lanes. “In the scout, we knew they were trying to get to hands; they were heavy checkers. When we got to the middle, they were going to back check us,” attackman Logan Wisnauskas said. “We kind of knew going in.” The Terps’ gameplan to counteract the aggressive defense emphasized quick, decisive ball and player movement to create the open looks that North Carolina prevents against teams an isolation, one-on-one style. It took Maryland some time to get back to that strategy their coaches implemented during the week. The Terps, despite an explosive 16-goal output, had only one score in the first nine minutes.

Tillman said the offense was being stubborn at times, taking difficult shots when there weren’t legitimate openings. He pointed to easily blocked shots from midfielders Bubba Fairman and Kyle Long as prime examples of those looks. “Especially in a game like this, where they have really good athletes, we were going to have to attack them six-on-six,” Tillman said. “Make sure we keep that ball hot, two or three seconds in your stick, and move and move.” That message came to fruition following the first quarter media timeout with about five minutes remaining, just after DeMaio scored Maryland’s second goal. The Terps poured in nine of the next 11 goals to close out the first half, with each of those scores

coming off an assist. During a dominant 7-1 second quarter, Maryland’s extra-man unit made North Carolina pay for the times its physicality crossed the line. The Terps converted two of their three extra-man chances. The final goal of the first half came off Long’s well-timed lob pass to the interior of the defense, finding attackman Louis Dubick cutting to the net through traffic. Maryland’s frequent movement resulted in a 16-goal onslaught and a season-high 13 assists. But North Carolina’s aggressive approach paid dividends for some stretches. The Tar Heels prevented the Terps from clearing three times and forced them

into a season-high 19 turnovers — one game after committing a season-low 11 turnovers against Villanova. But even as North Carolina forced mistakes and ramped up the pressure in the second half, Maryland’s balanced attack provided the separation and preempted any North Carolina rally. It was the difference in the 2019 iteration of annual rivalry matchup, which Maryland has come out on top of in six of the seven meetings since leaving the ACC. “We had a game plan going in [and] we executed the game plan,” DeMaio said. “Just being unselfish, just playing together and playing well as a group.” sportsdbk@gmail.com

‘i never thought we were going to lose’ No. 3-seed LSU’s last-second layup ends No. 6-seed Terps’ NCAA tournament By James Crabtree-Hannigan | @JamesCrabtreeH | Senior staff writer

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — For several agonizing seconds after the final buzzer Saturday, most members of the Maryland men’s basketball team hardly moved, keeling over in place on the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena floor. LSU guard Tremont Waters was also struggling to get off the court. He was stuck at the bottom of an impromptu dogpile in front of the Tigers bench, having just sent his team to the Sweet 16. After Maryland eked out a firstround win over No. 11-seed Belmont, coach Mark Turgeon repeatedly emphasized that the game could’ve gone either way. Against No. 3-seed LSU, the No. 6-seed Terps learned the hard way how fickle March Madness can be, as Waters’ layup with 1.6 seconds left dealt them a heartbreaking 69-67 defeat in the Round of 32. “We showed [the team] exactly what was going to happen. We showed them middle ball screen for him,” Turgeon said. “Kid just made a heck of a play.” The teams were only deadlocked entering the Tigers’ final possession because of back-to-back 3-pointers, the type of shotmaking that hadn’t been on display for most of the day. With the game tied at 64 entering the final minute, LSU forward Skylar Mays buried a deep triple, just the third of the half for his side. Then,

out of Turgeon’s final timeout, guard Anthony Cowan found forward Jalen Smith in the corner, and the freshman connected after missing his first four three-point attempts. “[The plan] was kind of for Anthony to make a play,” guard Eric Ayala said. “And he made a great one.” It was another highlight for Smith, who was Maryland’s best player in the tournament. After notching a double-double in the first round, the Baltimore native had a team-high 15 points against LSU, and his defense as one of the anchors in a 3-2 zone helped change the game. After Turgeon was called for a technical foul four minutes into the second half, Mays hit both free throws to put the Tigers up 15 points. Then, the Terps switched to their seldom-used zone, and LSU was stumped. “They shoot 31 percent from three as a team,” Turgeon said. “We told the guys yesterday morning when they woke up, we’re going to zone. Don’t know when, but we’re going to zone.” The Tigers are built around inside scoring, yet they settled for 3-pointer after 3-pointer, falling into the same trap Maryland had struggled through in the first half. “When they made the change, we got stagnant,” Tigers coach Tony Benford said. “And they made shots.”

forward jalen smith hit a late 3-pointer to tie the game, but LSU prevailed with a layup against his defense with less than two seconds remaining. Smith combined for 34 points in Maryland’s two NCAA tournament games. courtesy of mitchell scaglione/the reveille The Terps couldn’t guard LSU in their traditional man-to-man defense, and those struggles combined with poor offense to allow the Tigers a 15-point lead. Maryland had a season-high 18 three-point attempts in the first half and made just five, with two coming from guard Aaron Wiggins in the final minute-plus to cut LSU’s advantage to 38-29. After Turgeon’s technical, though, the

offense found a better balance — and more success. Cowan, who was 1-for-6 before halftime to open the tournament 4-for-24, nailed a pair of 3-pointers and helped force a turnover that completed an 8-0 run and slimmed the deficit to 46-39. He finished with 11 points, one of five Terps in double figures. See lsu, p. 6

Maryland ended the half on a gritty 9-0 run, blanking Radford for the final five minutes. The visitors’ struggles didn’t dissipate after the halftime buzzer. By the time the Highlanders made their next shot — four minutes into the third period and nine minutes after their last make — Maryland had built an insurmountable advantage through varied defensive looks and its size. O n e ga m e a f te r t h e i r worst defensive outing of the season in the Big Ten

tournament championship, the Terps put together one of their best, a 73-51 triumph in the NCAA tournament opener. “We had the [Big Ten] tournament; that’s over, we can’t get it back,” guard Kaila Charles said. “We weren’t looking behind.” After Maryland’s subpar showing on defense against Iowa the last time it took the floor, the team had no choice but to go back to the drawing board. The Hawkeyes exploded for 90 points — the most the Terps have given up all year — as forward Megan Gustafson torched the tournament’s top seed for a seasonhigh 45 points. See radford, p. 7
