Board elects student publication editors Maryland Media Inc. adopts online focus

By Casey Leins @DBKDiversions For The Diamondback T he Diamondback’s parent company, Maryland Media Inc., named Laura Blasey the newspaper’s editor in chief for the 2014-15 academic year Thursday.

Blasey, a junior journalism major, jump-started her work in the field when she interned at a local maga-

zine for two weeks during her senior year of high school. The magazine’s editor in chief encouraged her to join The Diamondback as soon as she arrived at this university. Blasey took his advice, writing general assignment stories for the newspaper as a freshman.

“It was probably the best piece of advice I’ve ever gotten,” Blasey said.

She was hired as a staff writer her freshman year and became a senior staff writer and assistant news editor as a sophomore. By See MMI, Page 4

University Police investigate reported bathroom spying on female students

By Teddy Amenabar @DBKCrime Senior staff writer University Police responded last week to three reports from female students who saw electronic devices recording or photographing their

actions in on-campus bathrooms.

Detectives do not know whether the incidents are related, police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said. The cases are active, and the University Police detective unit is investigating all three.

Two of the incidents occurred in

shower stalls in La Plata and Centreville halls, the first on Wednesday and the second on Friday, according to a University Police news release. In both, female students reported seeing a electronic device held over their stall while taking a shower. Neither student was able to identify the suspect.

CRIME ALERT

Male student robbed near South Campus Commons 7 Two male suspects with a knife reportedly robbed a male university student on Knox Road early yesterday morning, according to a University Police safety notice.

The third incident occurred in a women’s bathroom stall at the biology-psychology building Wednesday.

A female university employee went into a stall and noticed a cellphone extended from under the adjacent stall with a lens pointing in her direction, according to the release.

The student told police that two men grabbed him and demanded his property on the 4200 block of Knox Road — near South Campus Commons 7 — at about 4:45 a.m., according to the notice. The student reported the incident at about 6 p.m. yesterday.

Student group organizes mobile library for El Salvador school Efforts focus on promoting literacy

By Abby Burton @thedbk For The Diamondback Last year, Yesenia Portillo asked her friend, Domonique Parkes, to proofread her topic proposal outlining an idea she had for a social entrepreneurship writing class. Since then, that idea has grown into an organization that has raised more than $3,000 in one month.

Libros Sobre Ruedas, a nonprofit Portillo and Parkes founded, is a philanthropic organization with the goal of improving educational opportunities for children in El Salvador.

Members have begun efforts to assemble a mobile library for the primary school students of Moncagua, a Salvadoran town in the country’s San Miguel department.

The organization, made up of five members, including Portillo and Parkes, is participating in this spring’s Do Good Chal-

lenge, an eight-week competition in which students work to advance their charitable organizations. The finalists for the challenge will be announced Sunday, Portillo said, and the winners will receive $5,000 for their cause.

Primary school enrollment rates in El Salvador are nearly the same as those in the United States, Parkes said, but secondary school enrollment rates are about 30 percent lower in El Salvador, according to 2011 World Bank data.

Both Parkes, who graduated from this university in December, and Portillo, a senior family science major, have seen the challenges Salvadorans experience with education and literacy firsthand.

“I always knew I wanted to give back to El Salvador someday,” said Portillo, whose family is from the country.

P o r t i l l o’s f a t h e r, w h o dropped out of school in second grade, still struggles with reading and writing, a typical situation for many Salvadorans, she said.

“It’s mainly because they weren’t given the resources to continue their education,” Portillo said.

While at this university, Parkes studied abroad and taught classes in El Salvador for two weeks.

“I got to learn a lot about the education system and how bad it was over there,” she said.

Students of ten weren’t given homework because they didn’t have access to basic supplies such as paper, pens and books they could take home from school.

Providing children with books is the primary goal of Libros Sobre Ruedas, which has held book drives and fundraising events to gain the supplies it needs to purchase an old ice cream truck and turn it into a mobile library. The library will be available to the children attending Centro Escolar Caserio Los Negros Anton el Cero, an elementary school at which one of Portillo’s family members is the principal.

“What we’re trying to do is prepare them in the primary level

so they’re better prepared for the secondary level,” Parkes said.

Jordan Raymer, a freshman government and politics major, met Portillo and became involved in Libros Sobre Ruedas through a class called Innovation and Social Change: Do Good Now. The class placed him with Libros Sobre Ruedas to participate in the Do Good Challenge, but he said he quickly knew the organization was a good fit.

“I’ve a lways been i nto reading and that was always something me and my parents would connect with,” Raymer said. “These kids in El Salvador should have the same opportunities we have.”

The members of Libros Sobre Ruedas also participated in last month’s Social Enterprise Symposium at Stamp Student Union to raise awareness for their cause, and they were recently awarded a $2,000 scholarship from the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

The students also were able to meet the Salvadoran ambassador to the U.S. at a conference

at this university and discuss their organization’s goals. Portillo hopes to arrange another meeting with the ambassador in the near future.

Libros Sobre Ruedas also has partnered with BookHolders, which allows the members to go through their children’s book inventories in their stores and take them for free or for less than $1. Parkes said she hopes to see more partnerships like this grow in the future.

“Hopefully, after we get this started, we can get donations from different book stores,” said Parkes, who added she hopes Libros Sobre Ruedas will be able to send multiple copies of specific books to the mobile library.

The organization is looking beyond this year, however.

“Right now we’re just going to be concentrating on one town, but eventually we want to expand to other low-income towns,” Portillo said.

Portillo is also choosing which of her family members will oversee the organization in El Salvador. She hopes to

raise $19,000 this year to complete the mobile library, send it to El Salvador and keep it running by paying for gas and a driver.

Portillo also hopes to hold monthly “Read Out Loud” events in Moncagua, events she said will bring the community together through theatrical reading performances.

Students from a local private high school, whom Portillo said she plans to connect with through fellow university students who grew up in El Salvador, also eventually will tutor primary school students in Moncagua once a week.

After graduating, Portillo plans to continue the organization’s growth both on and off the campus.

Portillo and Parkes hope Libros Sobre Ruedas w ill compete in the Do Good Challenge again next year and hope to see their efforts expand to other communities in El Salvador.

“This is a lifelong thing for me and Yesenia,” Parkes said. newsumdbk@gmail.com

Route 1 hotel construction set for spring 2015

By Jeremy Snow @JeremyM_Snow Staff writer After eight years of delay, construction on a hotel and conference center on Route 1 will begin in spring 2015, facilities officials said.

The state Board of Public Works voted unanimously March 19 to allow construction on a large piece of land fo r a $ 1 15 m i l l i o n h o te l , privately funded by developer Southern Management Corp. The hotel, which will be located next to the service building on East Campus, is scheduled to open in time for the 2017 fall semester.

“It’s a pretty compressed site of about three acres, meant to create dense development that should give the town an urban edge along Route 1,” said Carlo Colella, university administra-

tion and finance vice president.

The recession that started in 2007 halted Facilities Management’s earlier plans to build the hotel, which was scrapped in 2010.

This hotel will have 11 floors and about 275 rooms to compete with hotels in Washington and Baltimore, Colella said.

“This is something of a much higher quality than really anything around us,” Colella said.

Accompanying the hotel is a plan for a collection of restaurants and retail stores, as well as a 730-space, six- to sevenfloor parking garage. The hotel also will feature a conference center for travelers.

“When Ohio State comes for football games, they’re going to need a place to stay and they’re not going to stay at the Holiday Inn,” university President Wallace Loh said at a

And yesterday, she organized the largest Good Deeds Day this university’s Hillel has had, drawing more than 150 volunteers to commit to continuing social justice efforts.

Though the development will come slowly, Colella and Loh said they want to see East Campus become a complete town center, but for now, they said the hotel will help spur a new age for College Park.

“This will be a catalyst for economic redevelopment,” Loh said at the SGA meeting. “In 10, 12 years, College Park will be transformed. Unrecognizable.”

As a kid, I was told frequently to “suck it up.” Of course, the things I was moping about weren’t really dire situations — fighting with my sister, losing bets and not getting the Lunchables I wanted when I went grocery shopping with my mother.

Today, it seems like there’s a strict dichotomy between those who think we should raise children to “suck it up” and those who think we should nurture them through stressful situations.

We’re told when we’re younger to “suck it up” or “stop crying” when we don’t get what we want because our parents don’t want children growing up overly sensitive to real-world situations in the workplace. But does this mean it’s justifiable to tell people to stop crying or grow up in any professional environment?

L a s t m o n t h , T h e A t l a n t i c ’s Hanna Rosin wrote a column titled “The Overprotected Kid,” in which she emphasized our preoccupation with safety, always protecting and comforting children. Rosin pointed to playgrounds in North Wales, where children play with rubber tires, dirt, fire and crates.

The rugged environment gives children an idea of the real nature of life, so they don’t expect much of their parents or colleagues.

But Rosin used this particular

example to make a broad generalization about Americans. She connected the lack of “rugged” playgrounds in the United States to the decline in optimism and independence that millennials experience. She said the increase in depression, narcissism and taking psychiatric medication in Generation Y has stemmed from our parents’ attempts to baby us.

Though I do think it’s important to foster environments where we can grow to become independent and think for ourselves, it’s premature to assume the lack of these environments has resulted in higher proportions of depression. Comparing a need for independence at a young age to the increasing diagnoses of depression is very dangerous.

Increases in psychiatric prescriptions for young adults might result from psychiatrists becoming better at diagnosing depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and personality disorders. The insistence that millennials “grow up” to suit the work environment gives us a detached view of how to handle people with depression or mental disorders. Not everyone can “grow up” easily. Not everyone can “forget about it” easily.

About 19 percent of Americans between 18 and 33 experience depression, while the proportion remains lower for older demographics, according to a 2012 American Psychological Association survey.

Similarly, a 2012 Workplace-

Dynamics survey found employee confidence has diminished in the past few years.

I’ve had friends and work colleagues tell me to “suck it up” while I experience post-traumatic stress disorder, but I question whether they really understand the extremities of mental health disorders. Professional workplaces always emphasize the importance of diversity and understanding, but many human resources departments (and employers in general) still need to revamp their approach to help employees feel comfortable finding a “safe person” or forum to whom they can communicate their needs.

Simply telling someone to “suck it up” when he or she seems down is an abhorrent way to address someone who might be experiencing something serious.

Hopefully, employers, friends and family members will comprehend this: Many millennials want to succeed and pursue their passions, but some of us might stumble along some bumpy roads to get there.

This is the end getting nice, and the nights are clear.

But there is more to this time than your university bucket list.

When will you have opportunities to spend time with friends the way you have in college? When will you be able to take a quick Metro ride to Washington and enjoy the cherry blossoms or museums on a whim? When will you be able to make connections with likeminded people who could shape the rest of your life?

Sure, life doesn’t end after college.

But it changes drastically. The freedoms we have enjoyed (aside from the exams and homework, of course) can rarely be replicated. Most of us will enter the workforce and have to build lives for ourselves like we never had to before. The few hours of classes a day become eight hours of work every day with nothing as extensive as summer or winter break.

We need to enjoy our time while we can and not waste our remaining college days stressed.

I’m not saying to ignore your schoolwork (we still have to pass all our classes to get our degrees, after all), but sometimes we have to make a decision. Find the right balance of work and fun to make your senior year memorable. And above all else, remember: No one ever looked back at college and wished he or she had slept more.

DAVE STROH

Hey seniors, Congratulations on making it this far. It’s been a long road and we’re almost there. In less than two months, we will be college graduates with a competitive education and the rest of our lives ahead of us.

While this is an exciting time — and the appeal of being done with all this homework and all these exams is difficult to overlook — we can’t forget to enjoy the time we have left here.

Two months. Let’s think about this for a second. Two months. It sounds like a lot of time, but when you break it down, it’s really only a small fraction of our college career.

When was the last time you realized a few months had passed and you were about to begin a new semester or the summer was over? If you aren’t careful, that’s exactly what will happen with your remaining days of college.

I can’t remember how many nights I’ve spent wishing the week away so I could get to the weekend, how many days I’ve wasted in anticipation of a different day. If I could go back and retrieve just some of that time, I would make sure to enjoy it.

So if you haven’t swum in all of the fountains on the campus, get your bathing suit and towel and swim a few laps. Have yet to see the Dave S t ro h i s a se n i o r E n g l i sh monuments from the top of Francis m a j o r. H e c a n b e re a c h e d a t Scott Key Hall? Well, the weather is dstrohdbk@gmail.com.

GUEST COLUMN

Is ‘peeping Tom’ appropriate terminology?

F

riday night, University Police issued the following safety notice with the subject line “UMD Safety Notice/Peeping Tom (Women’s Bathroom)”: “On April 4th, 2014, between 6:20 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., a female UMD student reported to the University of Maryland Police Department an incident that occurred inside the women’s bathroom at Centreville Hall, where the student saw an electronic device with a lens over the shower stall. The student then yelled out and subsequently heard the shower stall and bathroom door open. The student then checked the hallway but didn’t see anyone.”

Let me make four observations about this alert, and conclude with supplementary commentary.

1. That is absolutely creepy and an extremely gross violation of the vic-

tim’s privacy, and I hope the perpetrator is caught swiftly and punished accordingly.

2. I hope any pictures or videos are destroyed before they embarrass the victim and damage her reputation.

3. I hope anyone who has information to assist the investigation will report it without hesitation or delay, regardless of his or her relationship with the perpetrator.

4. I didn’t know the term “peeping Tom” was a professionally appropriate term for police to use in describing such an incident. In this context, it’s immature and — more importantly — sexist because Tom is a masculine name. It unnecessarily dismisses the possibility of female suspects, which is unfair and probably unreasonable because the victim in Centreville Hall did not see the perpetrator and because the event happened in the

women’s bathroom.

This is a blatant example of genderbased discrimination in the supposed pursuit of criminal justice, similar to the classic stereotype of police officers excusing females for driving over the speed limit when the perpetrators are pretty and employ seductive tactics aimed at disarming officers in their capacities as enforcers of the law.

That said, I hope the University Police will seriously consider correcting this report and employing alternative language in any future reports (of which I hope there will be none).

Gender-based discrimination in criminal justice is a real threat to the safety and well-being of men and women alike. It should be rooted out whenever and wherever it is present, whether it is in privacy laws, the laws of the road, family law, domestic violence laws or any other laws.

What outrage would ensue if police reported a theft at the University Book Center by an individual whose gender identity was unknown by referring to the perpetrator as a shoplifting Lindsay? How much stranger would it be if the “peeping Tom” was, in fact, another female looking to harm the victim in a manner similar to rudimentary gossip? What would we call her: a peeping tomboy?

Rhetorical questions aside, the origins of the term “peeping Tom” are noteworthy. The term, which today refers to a person who obtains sexual gratification from observing unsuspecting individuals who are partly undressed, naked or engaged in sexual acts, originated at about 1796 with Peeping Tom, a legendary citizen of Coventry who watched Lady Godiva riding naked. Lady Godiva was an English earl’s wife who, according

to legend, rode naked through the city of Coventry to save its citizens from a tax (don’t ask me how that works).

Let me be clear: I recognize the origins of the term are masculine, and in many — if not most — cases, the term refers to male perpetrators. In fact, in another incident the same day (but in a different setting) the victim was able to identify the perpetrator as a male. I also do not attempt to suggest the term should be abolished from mere casual dialogue.

However, I do believe the term has absolutely no place in a safety notice issued by police or in any other professional context, especially when the gender of the perpetrator has not yet been conclusively established.

“I really feel like [writing for The Diamondback] gave me a direction in my journalism career,” she said. “When they hired me to write for the news section, I just fell in love with it.”

Blasey said as editor in chief, she hopes to expand the scope of readership and coverage beyond the university into the College Park community.

She also wants to make a large push for online content, which she said is an expanding component of The Diamondback. Blasey has worked with current editor in chief Mike King and other editors to create a Friday d ig ita l

edition every week because t h e n e w s p ap e r c a n c e l e d printing Friday issues this year. The Diamondback recently hired an online managing editor whose job will be to ensure the publication’s online content and social media presence flourishes, Blasey said.

King, a senior journalism major, said he is confident in Blasey’s ability to take over

the newspaper because of the critical role she has played in this year’s Friday editions.

He believes she’ll be able to overcome challenges because of the creativity and flexibility she has shown in building digital news packages for online readers.

“Her determination and strong-willed personality mean that she is going to be able to make the tough deci-

sions that I’ve had to make this year,” King said.

Similarly, MMI President Stephen Lamphier said Blasey has a clear vision for both the online and print editions. The MMI board is pleased to have her not only as a board member but also as a leader for The Diamondback, he added.

B

orn today, you are not one to take kindly to being pushed in any direction.

You will not be moved from your chosen course for any reason that is not compelling on a deeply personal level.

“Just because” is not a suitable reason for doing anything; you must find a deeper reason that resonates well beneath the surface before you will agree to take on any significant task. Neither are you overly concerned with rewards; you are more interested in what you can learn as you work to achieve your goals than you are in any kind of payment you may receive. You are idealistic, almost to a fault.

Though some may not believe it, you are quite a jovial individual, and you enjoy the company of those who make you laugh. Indeed, you can laugh at almost anything -- including yourself -- and you find nothing quite so funny as a mischance that puts you in an awkward, ridiculous position.

Also born on this date are: Jackie Chan, actor, martial artist and stuntman; Russell Crowe, actor; Ravi Shankar, musician; James Garner, actor; Billie Holiday, singer; Francis Ford Coppola, filmmaker; Wayne Rogers, actor; Jerry Brown, politician; David Frost, television host; John Oates, songwriter and musician; William Wordsworth, poet; Walter Winchell, journalist; Joel Robuchon, chef.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, APRIL 8 ARIES (March 21-April 19) -What you know and what you don’t are sure to make more of a difference to you today than in recent days or weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A reunion of sorts results from a creative endeavor -- and yields greater creative results than you could have imagined.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have trouble concealing your competitive nature. Your chances of victory increase if you will simply behave naturally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -You will have a chance to show off some highly specialized knowledge.

Keep yourself fit -- you can start by minding what you eat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to be more self-sufficient than you have in the past, but this is a sign of good things to come, surely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s a good time to put one or two special skills on display. You have more to offer than anyone around you at this time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The ease with which you are able to cir-

culate among different circles can amaze your friends and impress your critics.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You know that you’re going to be talked about, so why not ensure that you are being talked about for the right reasons?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- There’s no point in standing idle when, in fact, certain actions can help you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re not particularly sociable at this time, but you may be able to make a new friend who can prove useful to you in an unusual way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The ability to stop on a dime and change directions at the drop of a hat will surely come in handy today. Mental flexibility is surely the key.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may have more homework than you were expecting as the day draws to a close, so you must be sure to leave yourself adequate time.

FEATURE | HOLI

the most pious paint party Hindu Students Council’s annual festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil with colorful powder fights on McKeldin Mall

By Danielle Ohl @DTOhl Staff writer A deep bass line thumped, drawing pockets of students dressed in white to McKeldin Mall.

They poured in from every direction, forming a small crowd in front of the administration building. The sun beat down as Seema Shekar, Hindu Students Council president, took the microphone. After going through a few safety measures, the senior biology major paused and said, “Welcome to Holi 2014!”

The crowd roared and multicolored powder flew.

With that, Holi 2014 began. The HSC held its seventh Holi festival yesterday, drawing a crowd of more than 300 students of diverse religious backgrounds who came together to celebrate the coming of spring with music, water and most importantly, color.

Holi, a Hindu holiday, celebrates the triumph of good over evil. People all over the world gather with friends, family and strangers to throw colored powder in honor of a young boy’s victory over two demons.

More recently, however, the holiday has become a cultural phenomenon related to the start of spring.

The HSC’s celebration included T-shirts, a DJ, a makeshift Slip ‘N Slide and plenty of colorful powder fit for throwing. The fes-

tival traditionally isn’t celebrated with the contemporary music and atmosphere of the HSC’s event.

“Ours caters to our crowd,” said junior materials science and engineering major Tejas Devaraj, an HSC member. “It’s a day and a time to welcome the spring, dance and have fun with friends while painting one another bright with colors.”

Devaraj and other members of the HSC spent the spring semester planning this event.

Holi is one of two events the group hosts annually on the campus. The first event, Garba, is a dance performed during Navaratri, a Hindu holiday in the fall. In the months between the two main events, the group schedules trips to local Hindu temples. The group, while primarily religious in nature, is also interested in volunteer opportunities.

“We always do a lot of extracurriculars,” said Daven Desai, a junior journalism major and HSC member. “We go out and help service food kitchens. That’s why we go to the temple; it’s not for prayer, it’s for community outreach.”

Holi functions in a similar way, Desai said.

Though the holiday is traditionally a religious event, Desai said the HSC celebration focused more on the campus community, as it sought to bridge the gap between the many diverse religions and backgrounds on the campus.

During Holi, he said, everyone has a mutual

agreement to celebrate the season and just have fun.

“Holi has an association with forgiveness, and while we haven’t made this a religious event, we want people to come out and have fun and enjoy each other’s company,” Devaraj said.

The preparation for this event involved more than just booking a DJ and ordering some shirts, HSC members said. The colors came in the form of a special allergen-free, washable powder that the group imported from India a few weeks in advance. While the traditional Indian festival occurs as the vernal equinox approaches — which fell during this university’s spring break on March 20 — the HSC tried to work around other events to ensure maximum attendance.

“Usually it’s around April, so we try not to do Easter weekend. We try to figure out if there’s something going on on campus that would affect turnout,” said sophomore business and criminology and criminal justice major Shradha Sahani, the event coordinator.

She added that the celebration takes place on the mall because it’s the most central part of the campus — and so the color doesn’t stain buildings or sidewalks.

The HSC seeks to educate people about a culture that many are interested in but know little about. Many students come to the event knowing nothing of its origin,

HOLI is a Hindu festival that celebrates religious traditions and the start of spring. The Hindu Students Council has held a version of the event on the mall for seven years. james levin/the diamondback Desai said. Through a short opening prayer and historical explanation before the festivities, Holi gave the crowd a legitimate reason to celebrate.

“This is really fun and a great way to bring the campus diversity together,” said freshman animal sciences major Tori Mezebish. dohldbk@gmail.com

Students should contact a university official after seeing a suspicious person, she said.

Police detectives are asking students to call, send an email or anonymously report via the department’s website if they saw anyone tailgating or “wandering aimlessly” inside the buildings at the times of the incidents.

Detectives are interested in suspicious activity at 8:47 p.m. Wednesday in La Plata Hall and between 6:20 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Police patrols around the high-rise dorms and in academic buildings have increased, Hoaas said, so people can ask questions and talk to an officer if they have any information. tamenabardbk@gmail.com

BUDGET From PAGE 1 in January, when the governor proposes the initial bill. It then goes to one of the two chambers of the legislature first, alternating each year. This year, the Senate got the first look at the budget. After both chambers and their respective committees propose reductions to the governor’s budget — the state constitution allows for only cuts, not additions — it goes to a bipartisan conference committee, where a final budget will be crafted and then voted on.

This year, the Senate proposed $10 million in reductions to O’Malley’s proposed $1.2 billion university system allotment, while the House proposed a $9.5 million cut.

T he con ference com m ittee usually will meet in the middle, Kirwan said. So this year’s committee reduction of about $6.7 million — lower than both the Senate and House recommendations — is “unprecedented,” he said.

“We consider this a very good outcome, taking into

account the circumstances we faced, the state’s budget challenges,” Kirwan said. “It once again reflects not only the hard work of a lot of people but the overall support we continue to enjoy from the governor and the General Assembly.”

The budget also will allow tuition to stay capped at a 3 percent increase for the fifth year in a row.

“In a somewhat difficult budget year, this was a fair budget, and we’re really happy with the outcome,” said university lobbyist Ross Stern.

“It shows a lot of thought and desire to protect higher ed and keep tuition affordable.”

The university system also transferred about $26 million from its fund balance — the system’s savings account built up over many years — to the state as a way to protect its budget from deeper cuts. After legislative approval, another $5.2 million will be transferred to the state from the fund balance.

While the university system is using its own money to cover deficiencies in the state’s allocation, Kirwan said, “it has a lesser impact on our operations” than

a budget cut by the state.

The university also fared well through the capital budgeting process, which authorizes the state to sell bonds to finance state projects. While Stern said O’Malley’s initial capital budget was not sufficient to ensure the Edward St. John Learning and Teaching Center would be completed on schedule, the legislature committed another $11.6 million to the project.

“We got what we needed to keep the projects on time and on schedule,” Stern said. “We were able to make the case for how important these projects were.”

The new capital budget will commit $18.3 million to the construction of the Edward St. John project, up from the original $6.7 million in O’Malley’s proposal; $10 million to maintain campuswide infrastructure and building improvements; and $11.7 million to construct a wing at H.J. Patterson Hall.

The new capital budget will, however, take out $1.6 million originally committed to an expansion and renovation of university chemistry facilities. jbachdbk@gmail.com

REGIONALS From PAGE 10 resulted in a 9.300. The Terps were forced to count her score, posting a 48.250 and essentially eliminating any hopes of an upset.

But without a bye immediately following floor, the Terps were able to settle in on vault.

“They did a great job of leaving it behind them and getting focused on the next event,” Nelligan said.

Tang and freshman Nikki Chung opened the scoring for the Terps with a pair of 9.825s.

The high scores continued in the rotation as the Terps posted a season-best 49.075.

Rather than carry that momentum onto bars, the Terps had another bye. While senior Elizabethe Manzi led off strong, fellow senior Jessie Black was unable to stick her landing. Black put her hands down to catch herself and scored a 9.100.

Giameo had a strong allaround score entering bars but scored a 9.650 in the event, which dropped her down the leaderboard. The Roselle Park, N.J., native finished tied for ninth in the all-around and earned the highest individual finish in an event for the Terps with a tie for fifth in beam.

“She is just such a rock for us,” Nelligan said. “She had another great meet today on beam and even in the all-around.”

T h e Te r ps m a n a ge d to rebound after the early struggles on bars with a strong finish from Karen and Kathy Tang.

Though the Terps’ struggles on floor after their first bye took them out of contention and ultimately brought an end to their season, they still managed to post one more season best on vault in their final meet of their season.

“I was really proud of the way they kind of turned it around for vault and bars to end the meet,” Nelligan said. rbaillargeondbk@gmail.com

BASEBALL

Early runs help Terps salvage game at Wake Team can’t dig out of early holes against Demon Deacons but avoids series sweep with 11-3 rout

By Phillip Suitts @PhillipSuitts Staff writer Terrapins baseball right-hander Jake Stinnett was in a jam. There was a runner on second with one out, and the Terps were already down 1-0 in the first inning of Friday’s series opener at Wake Forest.

On a 1-2 pitch, Demon Deacons first baseman Matt Conway launched the ball over the left-field fence, and the Terps’ deficit grew to 3-0.

Early runs doomed the Terps to a series loss to Wake Forest this weekend at Gene Hooks Field in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Terps, who are 0-9 when their opponent scores first, fell behind early Friday and Saturday and were unable to overcome those deficits. Still, they avoided a second straight series sweep yesterday by building a comfortable lead with runs in the first and third innings.

“It gives your starting pitcher a little bit of comfort, knowing he doesn’t have to pitch perfect,” coach John Szefc said yesterday. “It’s hard to pitch perfect, especially in a conference like this. So if nothing else, it’s a mental boost for the pitching staff to get ahead and keep tacking

HEELS From PAGE 10 beating goalkeeper Abbey Clipp on four straight shots on goal to trim the Terps’ lead to one.

During that time, the Tar Heels subbed in goalkeeper Megan Ward with 11:15 remaining after starter Caylee Waters allowed eight goals on 11 shots. The move paid dividends, and Ward finished with nine saves despite allowing seven goals.

on runs like we did today.”

The Terps have one ACC series victory in five tries during a tough start to conference play, which featured matchups with No. 1 Florida State and No. 16 Clemson. But the Demon Deacons were the Terps’ first ACC opponent that entered the series unranked.

The Terps built a comeback bid Friday, and third baseman Jose Cuas’ two-RBI double down the left-field line tied the game 3-3 in the fourth.

Cuas, who has been hitting well recently, went 6-for-12 with five RBIs and two runs this weekend.

But the Terps couldn’t come all the way back. Conway’s solo homer in the sixth inning Friday gave Wake Forest the lead for good, and Stinnett was knocked out of the game in a two-run eighth in the 6-4 loss.

The Te rps ou thit the De mon Deacons in Game 1, but Wake Forest was efficient and stranded four runners, half as many as the Terps.

While Stinnett allowed five hits and two walks and struck out nine, he was charged with all six runs, the most he has given up in a single start this season, and fell to 3-4.

Right-hander Mike Shawaryn had his shortest outing of the season in Saturday’s Game 2, lasting 3.1 innings

“When they put in Megan Ward, she had a bunch of saves on us,” Reese said. “They took us out of our rhythm a little bit.”

Ward’s presence slowed the Terps at the end of the first half, and the Tar Heels tied the score before midfielder Zoe Stukenburg gave the Terps a 10-9 lead entering halftime with a late goal.

Despite the narrow lead, Reese made a switch of her own at halftime. After Clipp made two saves in the first half, Reese turned to freshman Emily Kift in net for the second consecu-

and giving up four runs in a 5-2 loss.

That performance came a week after he gave up a season-high five runs in 4.1 innings to then-No. 20 Clemson.

After winning five of his first six starts, Shawaryn has dropped his past two decisions.

But yesterday, the Terps pounced first, tallying a run in the first and two more in the third to build a 3-0 lead they didn’t relinquish. Left-hander Zach Morris made his first start and allowed four hits, four walks and two runs in 4.1 innings, the longest outing by a Terps Sunday starter since March 2.

“He made some big pitches when he had to,” Szefc said. “I thought it was definitely a sign of progress for him. I think he would say he’s got to throw more strikes. He’s got to command the zone better.”

When the Demon Deacons plated two runs in the fifth yesterday to cut the lead to one, the Terps responded by scoring seven runs in the next two innings in an 11-3 victory. It was the Terps’ highest run total against an ACC opponent this season. Center fielder Charlie White went 4-for-5 with four RBIs and two runs scored, stealing two bases.

While the Terps were pleased to avoid the series sweep, they realize

tive game. Unlike the Tar Heels’ goalkeeping change, however, Reese’s move failed to pay off.

North Carolina held the Terps offense scoreless for the first 15 minutes of the second half and beat Kift five times during that stretch to take a 14-10 lead.

Clipp returned to the field, and midfielder Kelly McPartland ended the Terps’ scoreless streak with one of her four goals during the game. The Terps managed to score three times in the final four minutes, but the deficit proved to be too much for a come-from-behind victory.

“IT GIVES YOUR STARTING PITCHER A LITTLE BIT OF COMFORT, KNOWING HE DOESN’T HAVE TO PITCH PERFECT. ... IT’S HARD TO PITCH PERFECT, ESPECIALLY IN A CONFERENCE LIKE THIS. SO IF NOTHING ELSE, IT’S A MENTAL BOOST FOR THE PITCHING STAFF TO GET AHEAD AND KEEP TACKING ON RUNS LIKE WE DID TODAY.” JOHN SZEFC

Terrapins baseball coach they’ll have to learn how to play from behind if they want to start clinching more series victories. Early run support and lock-down pitching won’t always be available.

“That’s something we got to work on as well, playing better from behind, and still being comfortable from behind,” White said. “When it is the other team taking the lead first, we haven’t always been the best at coming from behind.” psuittsdbk@gmail.com

The Terps were unable to capitalize on the extra possessions due to Ward’s strong play in net while their defense struggled to slow the Tar Heels.

In a game of significant scoring runs, the Terps found themselves just short in a showdown between the two top-ranked teams in the nation.

“The game is 60 minutes, so it’s always a game of swings and momentum,” Reese said.

“We just need to find a way to get a little more consistent.”

“It hurts to see one of my fellow seniors on the bench, so that adds a little bit of extra motivation,” McBride said. “I felt like I was really on my game tonight, and I credit my teammates for getting me the ball.”

Thomas, though, couldn’t get as many scoring opportunities. The Terps had only eight rebounds in the first half, and the Harrisburg, Pa., native had few chances to lead the team in transition, which is how she had generated much of her offense this season.

Thomas had four field goal attempts entering halftime, and

though she took more shots in the second half, she was in foul trouble.

“I think early foul trouble hindered me a lot,” Thomas said.

“They didn’t do anything that they didn’t do in the first game.”

She picked up her third foul with 17:57 remaining in the game, which, coach Brenda Frese said, prevented her from driving in the lane as often because she needed to avoid picking up her fourth foul.

“When that happened to Alyssa, at times she has to pull back because she knows she wants to be on the floor,” Frese said. “So definitely, it was difficult.”

Seven of McBride’s nine second-half points came in the first five minutes after halftime. When the Terps

cut the deficit to 54-37, she drained a 3-pointer and then hit a jumper to make it a 22-point lead and help the Fighting Irish cruise to another national championship appearance.

McBride’s stellar performance, supported by Notre Dame guard Jewell Loyd’s 16 points, helped the Fighting Irish return to a stage of the season it has grown accustomed to recently. And McBride and the rest of the Fighting Irish squad’s maturity proved to be a significant factor.

“We really struggled to be able to have an answer for Loyd and McBride,” Frese said. “And they showed their experience, I thought, throughout this game.” ppierrelouisdbk@gmail.com

“They just wanted it more,” guard Lexie Brown said. “They clearly remembered what we did to them last time, so they weren’t going to take us lightly in the second half. I mean, we were a second-half team, and they knew that.”

Coach Brenda Frese hugged Alyssa Thomas as the senior forward approached the bench with 1:33 remaining in the game, capping her storied career.

Thomas concluded her final season as the program’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder, but it was her last chance to reach an NCAA title game.

“O b v io u s ly, we’re s a d because we wanted to continue on playing for her,” Frese said. “But you couldn’t coach a better person with everything that she’s meant to our team and the program.”

Unlike in Thomas’ 29-point, 1 2-rebou nd perform a nce against the Fighting Irish during the regular season, she struggled in her first and only appearance in the Final Four.

Notre Dame’s never led by less than 17 points in the second period, and the Fighting Irish continued to dominate inside.

The Terps’ bench, a reliable part of its offense during the season, had 13 points, with guard Laurin Mincy scoring 11. They grabbed four offensive boards, and their 21 total rebounds made for the fewest ever in a Final Four contest.

The Terps improved from their regular-season disappointments to mount a deep postseason run that included beating a No. 1-seed and winning on No. 3-seed Louisville’s home court. But they couldn’t continue that strong r u n aga i nst Notre Da me, which took a significant lead and slammed the door on the Terps’ season.

“Sad to see it be the last game and to go out like that,” Thomas said. “But I can’t be disappointed. We made it to the Final Four, and I had so much fun this year.

I know we’ll get stronger from this game, and we’ll be better next year.”

SHRINKING ON THE BIG STAGE McBride’s 28 points, No. 1-seed Notre Dame’s experience trump No. 4-seed Terps in Final Four

Though the Terps forward averaged more points and rebounds than McBride this season, the Fighting Irish guard shined on a stage she has gotten used to in recent years. McBride NASHVILLE, Tenn. — While Alyssa Thomas played led the No. 1-seed Fighting Irish to their third in the first Final Four game of her career in the national championship game in four years, Terrapins women’s basketball team’s 87-61 loss while Thomas struggled in the only Final Four against Notre Dame, Kayla McBride appeared appearance of her career.

at the Final Four as a senior, I was just trying to leave it all on the floor.”

McBride and Thomas, who both earned first team All-American honors this season, have been the star players of their respective teams and provided experienced, veteran presences. They both scored at least 20 points in the teams’ first meeting of the season in January, but McBride built upon that performance last night

and scored 28 points, while Thomas had 14.

With Notre Dame forward Natalie Achonwa sidelined after suffering a torn ACL in the Elite Eight against Baylor, McBride received the ball more often and focused on finding her own shot. She attempted 10 more shots than she did in her first game against the Terps, going See EXPERIENCE, Page 9

UNC trips up Terps in first loss Tar Heels’ 17 goals is most allowed by team since 2007 season

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Staff writer

A week earlier, the Terps erased a late two-goal deficit to beat Boston College, 10-9, but couldn’t recapture that effort in their most-heated The Terrapins women’s lacrosse rivalry. The Tar Heels found the back team wasn’t quite able to make up of the net on 17 of their 20 shots on another late deficit Saturday in goal and had four players score at least three goals. After not allowing Chapel Hill, N.C. No. 1 North Carolina used a five- their opponent to score more than goal run at the beginning of the second 10 goals all season, the Terps surrenhalf to build a lead and then survived a dered 17 goals, the most since 2007.

“We fell short on the defensive comeback attempt to win the rematch of last year’s NCAA title game, 17-15, at end today,” coach Cathy Reese Fetzer Field and hand the No. 2 Terps said. “I think we gave up too many easy opportunities.” their first loss of the season.

Early on, the Tar Heels (12-1, 5-0 ACC) weren’t defending the Terps (13-1, 4-1) behind their own net, allowing the Terps to run their offense from behind the cage. The Terps frequently found cutters coming in from the top of circle, assisting on four of their six scores during a six-goal run after trailing 2-1 to start the game.

After trailing 8-3, North Carolina settled in defensively and won three consecutive draw controls. The Tar Heels capitalized on every possession, See heels, Page 8

The Terrapins gymnastics team spent two weeks preparing for the quirky meet schedule at NCAA regionals but still struggled in the events that followed a bye Saturday.

After posting their season high at the East Atlantic Gymnastics League championships, the Terps scored a 194.525 to finish sixth out of six teams that competed in the NCAA regional meet at Penn State. No. 1 Florida and No. 15 Penn State topped the leaderboard to earn the two spots for a semifinal April 18.

The Terps, meanwhile, end their season after a low floor score after a bye resulted in their lowest total in more than two months.

“I was proud of them because we have come so far from where we started, overcoming injuries and falls,” coach Brett Nelligan said. “I told them, ‘Let’s take this into next season’ because for this year, it was great just to be here, but next year we want to do more; we want to be up in the mix.”

Despite the low total score for the Terps, they got off to a strong start behind their two most consistent gymnasts on beam.

Freshman Sarah Faller, who hasn’t fallen all season, opened beam with a 9.725 for the Terps. And junior captain Stephanie Giameo anchored the routine with a 9.825 for the Terps

“I WAS PROUD OF THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE COME SO FAR FROM WHERE WE STARTED, OVERCOMING INJURIES AND FALLS. ... I TOLD THEM, ‘LET’S TAKE THIS INTO NEXT SEASON’ BECAUSE FOR THIS YEAR, IT WAS GREAT JUST TO BE HERE, BUT NEXT YEAR WE WANT TO DO MORE; WE WANT TO BE UP IN THE MIX.” BRETT NELLIGAN

Terrapins gymnastics coach

for a solid 48.600 total, nearly a halfpoint higher than their season average and better than Florida’s beam score.

“After beam, we were off to a great start,” Nelligan said. “I said, ‘Let’s make sure we come out with high energy,’ and I thought we did. As much as I’d like to point to the bye, it was really kind of a fluke.”

Whether it was the bye or just an off day on floor, the Terps struggled as a team. First, freshman Emily Brauckmuller stepped out of bounds on a pass. Then junior Dani Kram followed by coming up short on her final landing, forcing her to put her hands down.

Similarly to Kram, senior Karen Tang came up short on her final pass, which See REGIONALS, Page 8
