staying on the grid 150 graduate students display research at annual Graduate Research Interaction Day By Carly Kempler @CarlyKempler Staff writer Graduate students of various disciplines got the chance to share research with the academic community during this university’s Graduate Research Interaction Day yesterday. The day is about providing grad-

uate students with an experience to share with their peers and promoting interdisciplinary research, said Jessica Bennett, the Graduate Student Government vice president for academic affairs and the leader of this year’s event. “[GRID]’s been happening for about 20 years; it’s been around for so long that no one remembers why it started,” said Bennett,

a fourth-year higher education g raduate student. “It sta rted because as graduate students, one of the things we’re really learning is how to research, and we wanted to promote that.” Throughout the second floor of Stamp Student Union, students shared research projects, which were ranked by various judgment panels made up of faculty and grad-

uate students. The students with the highest scores were awarded research funds from Stamp Student Union, Pepsi and this university’s graduate school and other groups. This year, 150 graduate students submitted abstracts of their research papers and two faculty members reviewed them, Bennett

When Moriah Ray talked with football players at this university about how they felt playing in a stadium named after a well-known racist and segregationist, she said their answers were largely the same. “A lot of the black football players on this team, they know the history of Curley Byrd, and they believe that the name of this stadium should be changed,” said Ray, a senior government and politics major and vice president of this university’s chapter of the NAACP. “They just don’t know how to make that happen.” A f te r t wo h o u rs o f s t u d e n t speakers and heated debate last night, the Student Government Association voted in favor of a bill to support changing the name of Byrd Stadium. The final vote was 13-2, with two abstentions. “We need to support an environment at the University of Maryland where all students are comfortable,” said freshman SGA representative Chris Ricigliano, who voted in favor of the proposal. “Certain students have made it clear that they’re not

City Council holds Camden meeting after thefts, murder Attempts to mediate resident, management dispute unsuccessful By Eleanor Mueller @eleanor_mueller Staff writer After residents requested action from the Camden College Park apartments staff in light of security concerns and poor communication, complex management met with the College Park City Council on Tuesday night but failed to reach a solution. The apartment complex, located on Milestone Way, has been the location of a homicide and more than 12 break-ins since October. Though residents tried contacting management numerous times to resolve their

issues, residents complained nothing significant came of it. “We do see many breaking-andenterings happening inside and outside your apartments,” District 1 Councilman Fazlul Kabir said to managers at the meeting. “Residents tried to reach out, and they failed for many months. If I were living there, I would be very frustrated.” When residents called on the council last month to hold management responsible, the council wrote Camden Properties Regional Vice President Richard Key a letter on March 10 that outlined the residents’ concerns and requested a meeting. “I visited … the front of the building, and your first impression is your last impression,” said District 4 Councilwoman and Mayor Pro Tem Denise Mitchell. “My first impression was a D.” The issues outlined in the letter included a lack of adequate security, low-quality balcony renovations, false fire alarms and insufficient communication between the residents and the management staff. “Our goal is to have a harmonious See camden, Page 3

U researchers: Black hole effects widespread Even outer boundaries of galaxies impacted By Joe Zimmermann @JoeMacZim Senior staff writer In a study published last month in Nature, university researchers shared evidence of a black hole’s influence on even the outermost stretches of its galaxy. Almost all galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their center, but this is the first time researchers have observed this kind of direct effect of a black hole on a distant region of space, said Francesco Tombesi, the lead author of the study. “For the first time, we connected the fact that the supermassive black hole can remove material, especially cold gas that is the fuel for the formation of stars,” said Tombesi, a research scientist for this university’s astronomy department. “We see directly that

Some of the material shoots out from the accretion disc that gathers around the black hole and goes outward into the sur-

rounding galaxy. These materials then change the way the rest of the galaxy is formed, preventing an overabundance of stars, Tombesi said. To corroborate the theory that black holes have influence in the galaxy at large, the research team See holes, Page 3

U Senate passes legislation for new major, midterm grades Loh must approve both initiatives for next academic year By Andrew Dunn @AndrewE_Dunn Staff writer The University Senate approved legislation yesterday to establish both a new information science major and a policy requiring professors to provide midsemester grades for certain students. Pending final approval by university President Wallace L oh , b ot h a c t s c o u ld b e enacted as soon as the 2015-16 academic year. The midsemester grades policy was approved with a vote of 51-14, with seven abstentions. The bill would make it university policy for professors to provide midterm grades eight weeks into the semester for certain students and classes. Professors would be required to give the midterm grades to first-year students, students enrolled in zero-, 100- and 200-level courses and student-athletes enrolled in undergraduate courses. The senate’s Academic Procedures and Standards Committee began looking into the issue in May 2014 after senior econom ics major My thili Mandadi expressed concerns about not knowing where she stood in her classes halfway through the semester. Some senators debated the effectiveness of the policy, as it does not specify punishment for instructors who don’t post mid-semester grades. Charles Delwiche, the chair of the Academic Procedures and Standards Committee, said the impact is in changing the culture for faculty members.

“We need to try to educate our instructors on the importance of keeping students informed,” Delwiche said. “Fundamentally, what that means is that we need to have deans and chairs communicating that to their faculty.” The information science major proposal also passed by a 48-18 vote, with eight voters abstaining. The major would initially only be offered at the Shady Grove campus, though it could eventually come to College Park after revisions based on Shady Grove students’ experiences. The new major will differ from the information systems major currently offered by the business school by offering courses with more practical components, according to College of Information Studies officials. “The program will differ from traditional Information Systems degree programs, which are typically offered by business schools and focus on system analysis and design within a business context,” the proposal states. “The proposed program will focus more on the nature of information, information behavior, and information technology as it engages with a broader spectrum of information contexts, such as non-profit, government, and individual contexts.” Some senators raised concerns about overlap with the computer science major and the cost of this new major. The estimated initial cost of creating the information science major is $264,000, plus about $694,000 in its first year and between $800,000 and $900,000 for each year thereafter, according to the committee’s report. Mike Boyle, a senator and mathematics professor, said

“WE NEED TO TRY TO EDUCATE OUR INSTRUCTORS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING STUDENTS INFORMED. FUNDAMENTALLY, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE DEANS AND CHAIRS COMMUNICATING THAT TO THEIR FACULTY.” CHARLES DELWICHE h i s b i g ge s t c o n c e r n wa s whether the level of technical training offered through the major would satisfy potential employers. “There does not seem to be very deep technical training around computer science and for some of these jobs, such as data mining, take a lot of computer science depending on how far you go,” said Boyle, who voted against the bill. Col lege of I n formation Studies officials said new Shady Grove students enrolled in the major could open a new potential revenue stream. “We have to identify new resources for this program, and those new resources would be directed toward Shady Grove,” said Susan Winter, assistant program director for the master of information management program. The new major could also be a possible feeder into the three master’s programs offered by the College of Information Studies, said Ann Weeks, the college’s academic programs associate dean. adunndbk@gmail.com

review From PAGE 8 But after their loss to the Wolverines, the Terps transitioned into the quad meet style with which they were more familiar, and they hit their stride, defeating Big Ten foe Rutgers twice. T he one blemish during their three-week, four-meet stretch to close the regular season came in a tie on Feb. 20 with George Washington after the Terps lost their lead with multiple missed performances on floor. Despite the disappointi n g outcome a ga i n s t t he C ol o n i a l s, h o w e v e r, t h e Ter ps coach i ng sta ff had found a lineup that gelled on beam, the event in which the Terps counted multiple mistakes each meet early in the season.

and scored a 9.80 or above on beam in 13 of the team’s 14 total meets, the Terps’ revival in the event helped them reach a 196.00 final score, a mark they had been vocally aiming for, in their last regular-season meet. “It took us a few meets to figure it out, but [beam] could be one of our strongest events now,” freshman Abbie Epperson said. “They really figured out how to put six up, and I’m really proud of them for that.” T he Ter ps posted thei r best score of the year (19 6.075) at t h e B i g Te n Championship a few weeks later en route to a seventhplace finish.

Studying galaxies is like putting pieces of a puzzle together, Meléndez said. Each time researchers use a telescope, they look at one particular wavelength and one particular energy. For this project, the Japanese satellite recorded X-ray information, while the NASA satellite looked at the infrared, he said. “So when you look at an X-ray, what you’re looking at is the processes taking place very close to the supermassive black hole,” Meléndez said. “The infrared is just heat … so because of t hat we see

With the launch in a few yea rs of t he Ja mes Webb Space Telescope, a NASA-, European Space Agency and Ca nad ia n Space Agencybacked project, researchers should be better able to observe black holes and come to know more about them, Tombesi said. “In four years from now,” he said, “we might have a much better idea of how these galaxies were formed and how the black hole was involved.” jzimmermanndbk@gmail.com

he week after the lamented shuttering of Ratsie’s, 12 pizza joints remain in College Park. There’s Blaze Pizza, the newest member as of October, which peddles its signature brand of customizable fast-fired — prepared in about three minutes(!) — personal pies. Down Route 1 sits Slices Pizza Co., offering by-the-slice gourmet options for the university community’s semirefined palates, particularly between midnight and 3:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Across the street, there’s Terrapin Pizza Mart, by all accounts a reliable — if not particularly innovative — purveyor of the college staple. Just around the corner, Pizza Kingdom slings mid-tier jumbo slices at five bucks apiece. There’s Pizza Autentica and Ledo Restaurant. There’s Papa John’s and Domino’s. If you want to get technical, even 7-Eleven sells pizza. And yet every year, it seems as though another new pizza parlor sees fit to forcibly insert itself into the mix. For many upstart city restaurants, the narrative goes as follows: 1. An existing restaurant vacates its venue. 2. A new restaurant acknowledges

the challenges of surviving in a saturated college-town market. 3. The new restaurant disregards the challenges of surviving in a saturated college-town market and moves in. 4. The new restaurant vacates its venue (see: Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill, ChiDogO’s, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill). OUR VIEW

If College Park wants to become a “college town,” it needs restaurants that offer more than just pizza. Somehow, though, that narrative usually hasn’t held true for College Park’s glut of pizza joints. Blaze’s emergence onto the lunch and dinner scene hasn’t appeared to slow Slices’ late-night crowds. Pizza Mart, Ratsie’s and Pizza Kingdom had amiably coexisted all on the same block prior to Ratsie’s’ closing, which owner Mike Falamoun said wasn’t a direct result of increased competition on Route 1. Naturally, it came as little surprise when word broke that the retail space under The Hotel at the University of

Maryland would continue the city’s not-so-proud expansion as a pizza hub. So, come January 2017, Potomac Pizza will open its fifth location in this state under The Hotel, situated on Route 1 next to Paint Branch Parkway. With dine-in, carryout and delivery options, it’s nothing the city hasn’t seen before, though its bar provides a slight twist. (Understandably, hotel patrons might not want to stop by Cornerstone Grill and Loft, R.J. Bentley’s or Terrapin’s Turf for a nightcap.) With its enviable venue and familystyle offerings, Potomac Pizza probably won’t go under. That said, the addition of yet another pizza parlor does nothing to rectify the city’s widely prevailing image as a failed exercise in college town-building. Insomnia Cookies, slated to open between Pizza Kingdom and Marathon Deli, and Nando’s Peri-Peri, which will replace Ratsie’s, both offer cuisine students and permanent residents haven’t seen in the city. As niche dining options, their survival would improve College Park’s food diversity and could signal to other chains that the city is a viable market for growth. So give us cookies. Give us Portuguese chicken. Heck, throw in a fourth Subway if you must. But please, enough with the pizza.

Understand consent

he night the Kappa Sigma email came out, my friends and I were in a frenzy to discover whether it was real, who the culprits were, how to contact the administration and how to respond. Hours went by, and only when I was alone with my thoughts in the bathroom did I start shaking and sobbing. How could one of my peers say “f--- consent”? Was I naive enough to believe most collegeaged boys are just uneducated and unwittingly participating in this epidemic? My horror upon reading the content of the email was overshadowed by my passion for fighting for social justice. The racial epithets disturbed me enough that I could avoid the most damning aspect of the email, in which A.J. Hurwitz says what is most women’s worst nightmare. When I was 17, after a party was busted, my friends and I found a place to stay at a friend of a friend’s house, something we had done countless times before. When we got to his basement, I passed out on the couch, and what happened next I only know from hearsay. My friends recounted watching the boy carry my unconscious body into a closet, and later, his friends laughed in passing about us “hooking up.” The next Monday, I returned to school with yet another “funny” drunk tale. Two years later, I experienced a muscle memory that eliminated any doubt about being assaulted. None of my female friends knew that what we were participating in every weekend was sexual assault. None of the boys we hung around with could have defined “consent” or fathomed whyhis actions were wrong. We were too young to understand the gravity of our decisions and were stupid enough to believe it was what every teenager was doing. Nearly five years later, I have

come to terms with that night and my high school experience. I don’t blame my attacker, my friends or myself for one simple reason: We didn’t know. We were raised in an environment that didn’t value a woman’s body and praised binge drinking. This environment seems no different from the one at this university, or specifically within Greek life, with one notable difference. Hurwitz and his Kappa Sigma brothers knew a year ago, and know today, the definition of consent. Hurwitz openly and unapologetically acknowledged his understanding of consent and said f--- it. He invited his sheep brethren to seek intercourse by any means necessary. Specifically, he called for the assault of white women during rush week in spring 2014. The only way he could have been more forthright would be to have given a date, time and list of names. The fact that university President Wallace Loh and so many men, and, judging by a recent column by Emma Atlas in The Diamondback, women on this campus feel comfortable debating the tenets of freedom of speech related to the email proves just how far we have to go as a campus, and it calls into question whether the free-speech argument would be so prominent if its advocates weren’t first defending the racist elements of the email. The events of the past few weeks should mobilize every woman who is hurt, angry or afraid to fight for the dignity and respect she deserves. I came to terms with my assault with the help of other female Terps who openly shared their stories and fought for mandatory sexual assault education. I wonder whether the women of these sororities and across the campus can provide this support to their sisters and friends as they continue to express disgust while avoiding action.

Be a white ally

Students disappoint at forum PATRICK AN

JUNIOR

aving watched last week’s A.J. Hurwitz public forum in its entirety, I now share the feelings of disappointment many of the spectators that day felt. My disappointment, however, is not directed at the leadership but at the many students who indignantly lambasted them. To be honest, I understand their rage. It does seem disappointing that someone who has so profoundly affected this campus did not have to face any formal penalties. This does not, however, mean Hurwitz has not or will not face any external consequences from this incident. To so personally attack the president and his staff for presenting this cadre of “student activists” with anything short of Hurwitz’s summary execution is beyond the pale. To many who have watched or even attended the forum, I might have just said something shocking. Certainly, the students who spoke up at the forum did more than just whine about the results of the Hurwitz investigation; some might be quick to point out that many of the students — through dramatically rehearsed and scripted monologues — made mention of concerns for their safety, hypothesizing that not punishing Hurwitz for his support of rape would send a message that rape is not taken seriously on the campus. This is nonsense.

One would be hard-pressed to find a place that takes sexual assault cases more seriously than state universities do. In the numerous columns I have written in the past, I have even noted how many state universities’ policies, including this one’s, even deny the alleged sexual offender basic rights to due process before expelling him from school due to sometimes questionable allegations. According to police investigations, the Hurwitz email, written more than 14 months ago, has not resulted in any hate crimes or overt acts of sexual assault. Just like the threats student speakers made about not attending this university anymore if they did not get their way, the words Hurwitz wrote were empty ones. I do not deny that those who made those remarks about their safety feel a sense of danger, but that danger is not imminent, and it certainly could not come from the results of the email. Some might posit that anything incendiary said in the forum could only reveal the disappointment of the student body and cultivate discussion about pervasive issues regarding racism and sexual assault, but when the university’s leadership is so blatantly blamed for endangering students, a much more restrictive and vindictive dialogue ensues, and such a dialogue was exactly what happened. The most painful points of the forum were when students openly questioned, criticized and wrote off the role the First Amendment

should play on the campus. Many applauded one student who suggested implementing speech codes on our campus and another who suggested we not use the words “unity” and “civility” in social discourse. To me, the most painful moment was when no one spoke out when one student shouted, “I don’t understand how the Constitution has to be university policy.” Ironically, this forum, and perhaps the entire fallout from the Hurwitz email, revealed more about our student body’s contempt for constitutional rights than Greek life’s proclivity for insensitivity. Hurwitz might have targeted certain racial groups and an entire gender, but an attack on our inalienable right to freedom of speech is axiomatically more offensive. Those who do not believe this only have themselves to blame. It is not surprising that college students have often adopted the mentality of living in the moment, taking immediate action and ignoring any dissent for the sake of what they perceive as “advancement.” This mindset is both seemingly fashionable and avant-garde. But perhaps a bit of foresight is what is needed here, for I often wonder which scenario is worse: a society that is nonchalant about hate speech, or a society that is willing to eliminate hate speech by curtailing our rights.

am a white woman. When I walk on Route 1 at night, people don’t speed up their pace or hold their wallet tighter to their bodies when I pass. When I apply for internships, my potential bosses almost always use colloquial sayings, and we often engage in small talk about our shared heritage. These are a few of the daily privileges afforded to me by my skin tone. This column was sparked by my experience as an audience member of Wake Up!, a performance at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center through which student performers uncovered what it’s like to be black at a predominantly white institution, a title this university earns because about half of its students identify as white. The first step toward learning how to be a white ally is to consult those seeking empowerment: black voices. Because of this, the remainder of this piece is simply a mouthpiece for university student voices on the topic of what a white ally looks like to them. Chloe Isaac, a sophomore communication and studio art major, comments that being a white ally means “standing behind in support for black students.” She clarifies that standing behind someone doesn’t mean “taking the main stage,” but rather being behind the scenes for instrumental support. To do this, you must listen, and not just for the sake of responding. Isaac finishes: “You’ll most likely say the wrong things or overstep boundaries. … As long as you’re willing to apologize and learn from the community you’re trying to help build up, it’s OK.” Avery Collins, a junior theatre major and Wake Up! performer, continues: “It’s important to allow black people to have their

space as black people.” He makes the key comment that while diverse spaces are great, “sometimes that’s all we get, and it’s important to have our space as black people as well.” When I asked Collins about the importance of black spaces, he explained that “sometimes, as a black person, we are forced to put on a mask to be seen as successful. We call it code-switching. To be able to go to a space where we can be ourselves completely with no pressure to fit into white America is important.” I asked Collins if there was a space on the campus that served this function. He responded, “I would love to say the Black Student Union supports that, but sadly, being black isn’t as homogeneous as people believe. Being black means different things to all black people.” I also talked with the director of Wake Up!, dance graduate student Meghan Bowden. To her, the first step is leaning into the discomfort and critically analyzing the privileges you are afforded by your skin tone. As a person of privilege, it will be hard to uncover these privileges because you consider them everyday normalcies. If you are naive to your privileges, you are perpetuating structural racism. Once you’ve attained a level of comfort on that front, your job now is to bring other white people in by encouraging them to take a “firmer stance against overt acts of racism within all white circles, and [to] also have conversations with your white friends about whiteness,” Bowden added. The last step is sustained, meaningful engagement with people of color. This should be a part of your daily life, just as your highly politicized skin tone is.

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER

orn today, you are an open-minded and tolerant individual, one who is able to adjust to changing circumstances, mix and mingle with all kinds of people and groups, and generally travel through life with a positive attitude and the ability to increase the level of enjoyment that others experience. Indeed, perhaps your greatest single contribution to the world is your ability to give others precisely what they want. You have a knack for knowing what is important to them, what they will best respond to, and how to arrange for them to have it -- or, if appropriate, have more of it. You are no fan of conflict, so you will do all you can to avoid it. Your private life can be characterized in one word: family. Family -- and all it entails -- will surely shape your private life like nothing else; your attachment to family -- sometimes good, sometimes not -- will prove a driving force in all your endeavors. You will never be far from home, either literally or figuratively. Also born on this date are: Kristen Stewart, actress; Hugh Hefner, publisher; Elle Fanning, actress; Dennis Quaid, actor; Jay Baruchel, actor; Paulina Porizkova, actress and model; Cynthia Nixon, actress; Michael Learned, actress; Avery Schreiber, comedian; Paul Robeson, actor. 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.

FRIDAY, APRIL 10 ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You can expect to make a certain request more than once. Others are willing to grant you certain concessions late in the day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An important message comes to you in two parts; neither makes much sense, however, without the other -- so be patient. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -You may have precious little time to get things done, so getting down to business as quickly as possible is the key to success. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You aren’t in the mood to be reminded of the same things several times, so be sure to tend to business before any reminders are necessary. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone close to you is likely to have many excuses for behavior that is, as far as you are concerned, simply inexcusable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll marvel at how simple a certain task is likely to be, despite the doubts you may have had before you decided to tackle it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- This is not a good day to say “never,” for as soon as it passes your lips, you’re likely to do exactly what you said you’d never do! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- All options are available -- even those that you might have supposed would never be opened to you by chance or by design. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are in a good position; the one who has been telling you what to do is likely to offer you a chance for advancement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can get much done, but not all of it will mean as much as you had hoped when all is said and done. This tells you something! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -You’re not about to let anyone get away with anything that puts you at risk. Lay down the law; it’s your way or the highway! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may realize that the path you have taken has led you in a direction that you did not at first anticipate, which is fine.

Musician Tia Fuller brings innovative jazz sound to The Clarice

But the saxophonist and composer has come a long way since then. She has since been a member of Beyoncé’s band, recorded four albums and performed for President Obama. Fuller’s performance today at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center has many students excited to see a fresh new face in jazz music. “A s a l i s t e n e r a n d someone that appreciates her artistry, I can tell that she’s very technically aware, but at the same time you can hear the soul that she puts behind her melodies and her harmonies to make sure that the audience feels something,” said Chelsey Green, a professional musician and doctoral candidate studying viola. “And especially as a musician myself, that’s something that I value and appreciate when I hear other artists offering that of themselves.” “She’s an extraordinary player as one of the emergi n g g rea ts o n t h e sa xo phone, and she has a very unique tone on the instrument,” added Bobby Asher, senior associate director of the Artist Partner Program

at The Clarice. “She has a really open spirit. Her recordings are always very fresh-sounding and energetic, and she’s really kind of coming into her own as a band leader.” While visiting the university, Fuller will also be teaching a master class for jazz musicians. The Clarice makes a point of fosteri n g t h e n ex t ge n e ra t i o n of creative talent, Asher said, and the students and faculty recognize Fuller as one of the leaders of that generation. “For every performance that we do, we try to make sure that these great artists t h a t w e ’ r e b r i n g i n g to campus get a chance to share their advice and information that makes them great with our students,” Asher said. “These interactions with visiting artists are really a supplement to the great work that our professors do with these students. One of the most important parts of a music education, or any education, is interacting with the masters in your field.” In addition to performing, Fuller is a professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Green, a former student at Berklee, once ran into Fuller at the college, and though she was a little starstruck, she did have the opportunity to introduce herself and compliment Fuller on

her musical artistry. “She’s so easily fluent between technical jazz and can just go right into Beyoncé’s Top 40 masterpieces and it’s effortless,” Green said. “That’s something that’s really exciting and attractive about her musicianship.” Fuller’s performance at The Clarice today is another installment in the jazz series the center is offering. “Our jazz series has sort of a relaxed, intimate space,” Asher said. “We make it into sort of a cabaret space with tables and chairs, and you can really get an experience like you would at an intimate jazz club.” W h i l e o t h e r s t u d e n ts and staff in the university’s music school expect a large part of the audience to be fellow music students, both Green and Asher emphasized that this performance is one that anyone can enjoy, regardless of musical tastes or education. “Her artistry helps Beyoncé’s show be what it is,” Green explained. “It’s great to take a couple hours of your night and get to see her as a feature and just really appreciate that artistry as well.” Tia Fuller will perform at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center tonight at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Student tickets are $10. diversionsdbk@gmail.com

Let’s start with this: The Chairman of the Board is and always will be a monument of cool, a distant icon who will live forever on another plateau of celebrity, one that is untouchable and could never be reached today. Such a hyperbole comes easily when talking about Frank Sinatra. The man who would have turned 100 years old this year left what has to be one of the most impeccable musical legacies in history. He is adored by the older generation and is still surrounded by a shroud of intriguing mysticism to the younger. It’s only right that the most famous thing written about Ol’ Blue Eyes was an article by a writer who couldn’t speak to him. Gay Talese’s “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold” has no direct quotes from the then-aging legend; it simply paints a picture from afar. That’s how America knows Sinatra: as a series of myths and stories and pieces of gossip. Thankfully, Alex Gibney is here to set the record somewhat straight. The director followed up the success of his documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, which p re m i e re d o n H BO l a s t week, with Sinatra: All or Nothing at All, a four-hour, two-part look at the singer, which premiered on HBO on Sunday and Monday nights. Gibney has a big story to tell here, choosing to cover the first 60 years of Sinatra’s life. The film centers on Sinatra’s retirement concert, held in Los Angeles in 1971, in which he played 11 songs he thought best covered his life and career. Gibney uses these 11 songs to break Sinatra’s career into chapters. The formatting choice is clever, but the sheer amount of material Gibney tries to cover in the four hours is almost too much to handle. A veteran filmmaker at this point, Gibney is a good navigator through Sinatra’s crazy life; he just tries

Frank Sinatra is the subject of Sinatra: All or Nothing at All, a new four-hour HBO documentary from the filmmaker behind Going Clear. photo courtesy of en.wikipedia.org to stop at too many places. I guess you could blame Sinatra for living with such restlessness and drama. The film begins with his childhood in Hoboken, New Jersey, and takes us to Hollywood, where he won an Oscar for his oftenoverlooked acting chops. It takes us to Vegas, where he ran wild with the Rat Pack, and to Palm Springs, where he spent time with Mia Farrow, his third of four wives. It takes us to an NAACP benefit concert at which Sinatra showed up late, went on without any practice and sang a rendition of “Ol’ Man River” that reportedly made Martin Luther King Jr. cry. It takes us to Washington, where Sinatra helped John F. Kennedy get elected and introduced him to a woman named Judith Campbell Exner along the way. It takes us through times in the proud Italian-American’s life when the world jerked him around and others when he held it on a string. What makes All or Nothing at All great is the pure quality of life this man lived. What makes it an inescapable disappointment is the attempt to bottle it up. The entire film is made up of old video clips and pictures with voiceover commentary

coming from many people close to Sinatra, including his two children and his first wife, Nancy. But none of these people ever appears on camera. Only Sinatra himself, shown in old interviews, breaks up the slideshow and clips. While Part 1 moves through its two hours at a leisurely pace, Part 2 tries to pack in everything at once. Sinatra in the ’60s and early ’70s had to grapple with the ever-changing times. His old-school, deepseated cool did not match the wild, carefree nature of the new era. He didn’t like rock ‘n’ roll and never understood the anti-war effort. It was an interesting time in the singer’s life, one of the few challenging periods he faced, but Gibney races through it. The films ends with a semi-emotional climax that seems wildly out of place and does its best to leave a bad taste in the viewer’s mouth. But it’s hard to take down more than three hours of quality content with a sloppy five-minute crescendo. Sinatra: All or Nothing at All is a worthy watch for those seeking to learn more about Hoboken’s very own national treasure, the once and future Chairman of the Board. merrigodbk@gmail.com

TIGERS From PAGE 8 Despite managing just nine shots in the first half, the Terps outshot the Tigers 35-17. Five of Whittle’s six scores and four of midfielder Kelly McPartland’s five goals came after the break. “The whole offensive unit, everyone moving, and that’s what opens up our gaps for us and makes it a lot easier to get those shots off,” McPartland said. “It makes it easier to see the open net and get those easier shots and not just flinging it at the

goal like we were in the first half.” But before the Terps could explode for 14 goals in the second half, the Tigers (8-3) presented a challenge from the opening draw when they beat star midfielder Taylor Cummings to gain first possession. Princeton held onto the ball for about three minutes before taking their one shot on goal in the possession. Terps goalkeeper Alex Fitzpatrick saved the attempt, but a short-lived Terps offensive series on the other end gave the Tigers a chance to take a 1-0 lead. “It’s definitely tough when an offenses hold the ball for long period of

time,” defender Megan Douty said. “You get very tired. But we kind of just tried to stay mentally checked in, working with each other, working for each other.” The Terps did go on a 3-0 run to grab a 3-2 lead midway through the first half, but the Tigers were unrelenting. The two squads traded goals back and forth before Princeton closed with two scores in the final 7:30 of the first half to take a 6-4 lead into the break. The Tigers held a 7-4 advantage in draw controls at halftime, and midfielder Zoe Stukenberg re-

placed Cummings in the circle for the Terps’ final two draws of the opening period. “Princeton outworked us,” Reese said. “We needed to pick up our energy level, pick up our hustle, pick up our effort.” But the Terps would end the game with 18 draw controls to Princeton’s 12, which was indicative of a teamwide turnaround. The Terps gained some steam with Whittle’s second goal of the contest less than three minutes into the final period. After the Terps and Tigers traded points again, Whittle’s free position shot kickstarted a 7-0

scoring run that helped her team run away with a win. Players admitted after the game the final score might not represent the close nature of most of the game, but behind Whittle’s success on the free-position line, the Terps escaped a halftime scare against the Tigers to continue their undefeated season. “We came out a little slow,” Douty said. “We weren’t giving it 100 percent. It wasn’t like our Maryland playing, so in the second half, we kind of just regrouped, and we put the pedal to the metal.” ccaplandbk@gmail.com

lead after LoCascio, attackman Matt Rambo (two goals) and midfielder Bobby Gribbin (two goals) scored three consecutive goals in a span of 2:16. But then the Greyhounds went on their own 3-0 run, with midfielder Brian Sherlock connecting twice late in the fourth quarter to tie game at 10. But after Cole’s goal, the Greyhounds came up short. They possessed the ball on the game’s final possession, but attackman Nikko Pontrello’s shot sailed wide of goal, and attackman Zach Herreweyers rifled a shot right into goalkeeper Kyle Bernlohr’s stick. Bernlohr made 10 saves in perhaps the defense’s most difficult challenge of the season. The unit held Herreweyers, who entered the game averaging 3.27 goals per game to one score, but had no answer for Sherlock and attackman Zack Sirico. After allowing five goals in the first 17 minutes, the Terps moved into a zone in attempt to contain Loyola’s skilled group of attackmen. But as the game wore on, the Greyhounds

Three of the Terps’ five errors on the game led to a combined four unearned runs. For the second straight game, the Terps used the same lineup, but Tuesday’s fireworks — the Terps beat West Virginia 12-7 — didn’t return. While the Terps (23-8) had eight hits, they struggled in crucial spots and stranded 12 runners. “We’ve been good all year, great all year, actually, coming back,” said designated hitter Jamal Wade, who led the Terps with a 3-for-3 performance and one walk. “It just wasn’t our day today. It’s hard to do it every time.” After the Colonials (18-10) struck first on a two-out RBI single in the second, the Terps responded with a run in the bottom of the inning. After a leadoff single, right fielder Anthony Papio scored on a sacrifice fly. But the Colonials retook the lead in the third when they batted around. With the bases loaded and one out, Rios gave up a two-RBI double and an RBI single in succession. The final run

Playing in place of injured all-American faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa, Terps sophomore Jon Garino Jr. went 3-for-11, while Andrew Walsh went 6-for-13. “There are sometimes when we get some extra possessions, and it certainly

helps. And when the tables get turned, it just means you’ve got to be that much smarter,” Tillman said. “Every mistake is a little more magnified.” The Terps turned the ball over once in the final period, and tried burning the clock with long possessions down the stretch. And when Loyola threatened on the last posses-

sion, the defense held strong. “Offensively, just making the smartest play. Sometimes we didn’t do that, but when it mattered, we did a pretty good job,” attackman Jay Carlson said. “Cole and [LoCascio] at the end of the game made a great play.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

of the inning scored when Lowe couldn’t make a throw to first on a potential inningending double play. After Rios issued a one-out walk in the fourth, left-hander Robert Galligan replaced the freshman on the mound, but Galligan surrendered a two-out RBI single as the Colonials extended their lead to 6-1. The Colonials tacked on two more runs in the sixth, as well. Infielder-turned-pitcher Mike Rescigno made his first appearance of the season in the ninth. The sophomore, who was a utility infielder and designated hitter last year, gave up four runs (one earned) in .2 of an inning. “We’ll be all right and bounce back,” Wade said, “and be ready to come back in another game next time.” TERPS NOTE: Designated hitter and reserve catcher Nick Cieri had surgery yesterday to remove his broken hamate bone, Szefc said. The third-year coach believes Cieri will be out for about four weeks. The sophomore injured his hand in batting practice Sunday. psuittsdbk@gmail.com

WOMEN’S LACROSSE | No. 1 TERPS 18, No. 15 TIGERS 10

Second-half surge keeps unblemished record in tact Whittle’s six goals help erase two-goal halftime deficit in blowout win By Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Staff writer Attacker Megan Whittle crouched at the top of Princeton’s circle with the ball in her stick during the Terrapins women’s lacrosse team’s match with the Tigers last night. The game was tied 7-7 in the beginning of the second half, and the Terps’ tension on the field and sideline was palpable.

At the referee’s signal, the freshman jumped up, dodged her way toward the Tigers’ cage and slashed a shot past Princeton goalkeeper Ellie DeGarmo. The Terps’ bench exploded into cheers as Whittle and her teammates celebrated their new lead on the field, an advantage they did not surrender for the rest of their contest. After trailing by two goals at the break – their first halftime deficit this season – the No. 1 Terps used a 14-point, second-half resurgence to defeat No. 15 Princeton 18-10

at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex. “Tonight for us was the tale of two halves,” coach Cathy Reese said. “We didn’t make plays when we needed to in the first half, and they did. We readjusted at halftime and talked about some things. We needed to take control of the game.” Whittle led the Terps (13-0) with six goals, as the team posted a season-high in scoring. She went 4 of 6 on free position shots.

MEN’S LACROSSE | No. 3 TERPS 11, No. 19 GREYHOUNDS 10

Terps fail to contain Colonials

Winning streak ends with 12-1 loss to GW By Phillip Suitts @PhillipSuitts Staff writer

“They’re a tough out,” coach John Tillman said. “If you want to beat Loyola, you better play well.” After winning its first two conference games by a combined score of 25-9, the Terps received a significant challenge from Loyola. The Greyhounds, who outlasted the Terps, 9-3, in the 2012 NCAA championship, scored the game’s first two goals, and kept the contest close throughout the game that saw several lead changes. In the third quarter, the Terps took a three-goal

Terrapins baseball shortstop Kevin Smith took a few steps forward and bent down to scoop up a ground ball yesterday afternoon. But the ball bounced out of Smith’s glove and the freshman couldn’t recover fast enough to throw out George Washington second baseman Eli Kashi. That error at the start of the third inning was part of a fourrun Colonials outburst in the frame, which left the Terps in a 5-1 hole. While the No. 19 Terps have routinely overcome large deficits this season, they struggled to string together hits against seven Colonials pitchers and lost 12-1 at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium, their worst defeat of the season. It was the Terps’ first home defeat this year and ended a five-game winning streak. “We were pretty bad today,” coach John Szefc said. “We were just awful from top to bottom.” Terps left-hander Willie Rios surrendered six runs (five earned) in 3.1 innings. The freshman, who e n te re d t h e ga m e w i t h a 9. 4 2 ERA, was the latest Terps starter to struggle in a midweek game. None of the five midweek starters has pitched past the fourth inning, though one, Kevin Mooney, was on a pitch count. Rios gave up six hits and issued two walks to a Colonials lineup that included three batters hitting above .300. “We’re not in a good place as far as [starting pitching] goes,” Szefc said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.” The Terps defense didn’t give Rios or the rest of the pitchers much support. In addition to Smith’s error, second baseman Brandon Lowe fumbled the ball twice on double-play attempts.

GUTTING ONE OUT Cole scores late to secure nail-biting victory against intrastate rival Loyola

By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Senior staff writer They had never run the play before, and they didn’t plan it out. But with the Terrapins men’s lacrosse team’s eight-game winning streak on the line and about three minutes remaining last night against Loyola, midfielders Joe LoCascio and Bryan Cole executed the decisive goal in an 11-10 Terps win. As two Greyhounds defenders closed in on LoCascio, the senior fired a lead pass in front of goal. Cole streaked in front of the crease,

caught the ball, flung his stick across his body and deposited the game-winning goal past goalkeeper Grant Limone. “That’s just kind of a chemistry thing. Playing together for awhile,” Cole said. “You just know where guys are going to be.” Cole pumped his fist and exchanged high fives with his teammates. Minutes later, the final buzzer sounded on the Terps’ victory after Loyola failed to even the score on the final possession. The Terps improved to 6-0 at home and extended their winning streak to nine games. It marked the first time in four games that a contest has been decided by fewer than seven goals.

GYMNASTICS | SEASON IN REVIEW

Hanging with the big guns Terps remain competitive, finish strong against top teams in Big Ten By Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Staff writer Early in the Terrapins gymnastics team’s 2015 season, coach Brett Nelligan sensed something wasn’t clicking. T h e Te r ps o p e n e d t h e campaign with the program’s first home loss since 2012 and couldn’t string together consistent performances in the following weeks. As his squad faltered in its warm-up exercises before a competition at Iowa on Jan. 30, Nelligan knew he had to find a way to snap the Terps out of their funk.

“We were overthinking things,” Nelligan said. “I pulled the team together before we competed and I said, ‘Relax. Just have fun. We’re way overanalyzing things. Just relax. Have a good time.’ And they did. And from that point on, we were pretty darn good.” They lost in Iowa City, Iowa, but the Terps broke the 195.00 team mark for the first time in five attempts. And after starting the season 1-4, the Terps responded to Nelligan’s words of positivity with a 13-1-1 record in the last six meets of their regular season. They ended their season

with a third-place finish in an NCAA regional meet, the team’s best placing at regionals since 2001. “It was definitely Iowa when everyone could kind of feel it,” senior Shannon Skochko said. “That meet was just so much fun, and from there on, every time going into a meet, our coaches would just say, ‘Have fun with it. Don’t be so serious.’” Eight days after their strong performance at Iowa, though, the Terps ran into the Big Ten champion, Michigan, in a dual meet in College Park. In the 2.525-point loss, the

Terps’ final score took a dip from their resurgence against the Hawkeyes and reminded the team’s gymnasts that they had moved out of the less competitive East Atlantic Gymnastics League. “There are some great teams in EAGL, but we were competing against top-ranked teams every single week in Big Ten,” Skochko said. “To move ahead as a program, we’re going to have to be competing against the top teams and eventually start to beat some of the top teams.”
