The interim policy had renamed “Sexual Assault I” and “Sexual Assau lt II” as “sex ual assault” and “sexual contact,” respectively, while expanding both definitions. Under the interim policy, forcible sexual penetration constituted “sexual assault,” while

groping a person’s intimate parts or at tempte d se x u a l p enet ration without consent constituted “sexual contact.”

While the EDI Committee’s proposal maintains the same expanded definitions as the October interim policy, it reverses the category name changes, returning the names to “Sexual Assault I” and “Sexual Assault II.” See miscondUct, Page 3

Second annual Bitcamp hackathon draws 1,100 from locations across country

Univ professor, students help build searchable system with 6.8 million inspection records

By Rokia Hassanein @rokiahass Staff writer

By Joe Zimmermann @JoeMacZim Senior staff writer It was 3 a.m. on Sunday morning and one student walked through the middle of Cole Field House, tailing a Roomba.

Carefully holding the Ethernet cable that connected the small robotic vacuum to a friend’s computer as if it were a leash, Mark Murnane, a junior computer engineering major at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, followed the Roomba around chairs and bundles of wires.

Through the rest of the weekend — or at least the 36 hours from 10 p.m.

Friday to 10 a.m. Sunday — Murnane and about 1,100 other participants at this year’s Bitcamp worked on team projects, created apps or built makeshift devices while finding ways to have fun.

“At this point, there are toys all around so we’re just playing,” Murnane said, referring to all the hardware available. “We’re just here to have fun and learn.”

Suicide walk raises $21,000 for prevention, awareness Univ Out of the Darkness event draws 460 walkers

By Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl Staff writer Students raised more than $21,000 for suicide prevention at the nation’s largest Out of the Darkness walk on a college campus yesterday.

Leah Sukri, a counselor with the University Help Center, began leading this campus walk last year after an American Foundation for Suicide Prevention representative contacted her about the program.

“We thought that this was a really great opportunity for us to show that suicide isn’t the answer and that we can always do more to help,” the

junior biology major said.

The foundation holds Out of the Darkness walks on college campuses and in communities across the country. The walk — the university’s third — grew significantly on the campus this year, becoming the largest campus walk out of 100 in the nation, area director Ryan Newcomb said.

At least 464 students registered and collected donations to raise money for suicide prevention research, education and programming, Sukri said.

“To see it going from raising three or four thousand dollars last year to over $20,000 this year is amazing,” Newcomb said.

Newcomb, who has suffered from chronic depression throughout his life, said campus walks provide a great opportunity to break the stigma surrounding suicide and begin a dialogue about mental health issues among college students.

“Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15- to 24-yearolds, so this is a crucial demographic that we have to reach out to and let

With the help of a professor from University of California, Los Angeles, members of the university community have created the largest food safety inspection database in the nation.

Ben Bederson, a computer science professor at this university and one of the database’s creators, said the university-led online database gathers information about food safety inspections from local government websites using data robots and then aggregates it in one spot.

“The information is public, so it is pretty interesting to see how people’s favorite restaurants are doing on their inspections,” Bederson said.

Funded by a $100,000 grant from the Sloan Foundation, the database has information compiled from 87 jurisdictions across 34 states, including 895,201 establishments,

Board elects student paper editors EICs for Mitzpeh, Diamondback push for digital-first focus

By Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl Staff writer T he Diamondback’s parent company, Maryland Media Inc., named Matt Schnabel the newspaper’s editor in chief for the 2015-16 academic year Thursday.

Schnabel, a junior journalism major, got involved with The Diamondback his first week at this university after receiving an email about open copy-editing positions at this publication. He was promoted to deputy managing editor at the end of his freshman year, and this year, he served as managing editor.

“I didn’t really know I was going to end up being editor in chief when I started, but shortly after, it was something I had hoped I could work

toward,” Schnabel said.

As editor in chief, Schnabel said he plans to continue The Diamondback’s “push to be a digital-first newsroom.” He said he wants to see more innovation in the publication’s digital content, including increased use of interactive elements and more multimedia projects.

“The big legacy publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, even The Baltimore Sun, are doing really exciting things with new technology, and I want to emulate that here at T he Dia mondback because I think we can,” Schnabel said. “I want to be at the forefront of student publications pushing the envelope digitally.”

Next year, The Diamondback will publish online only four days a week and release a print edition once a week. While this will be a major change for the publication, current editor in chief Laura Blasey said she is confident in Schnabel’s ability to handle the transition.

“He’s the most well-organized

Campaign raises money to provide spaces for butterflies on U campus

bitcamp From PAGE 1 The second annual hackathon hosted at this university brought students from as far as California and Canada as well as North Campus, who crowded dozens of tables that filled the Cole Field House floor. Like most hackathons, Bitcamp gave participants a set amount of time to complete their technical projects of choice from scratch, with the best results taking away prizes.

Junior Alex BenDebba said with a 36-hour time limit, i n s te a d of 2 4 h o u rs l i ke other hackathons, Bitcamp gave participants more time to develop ideas and enjoy the presence of hundreds of hackers in one space.

“It was just a really cool experience to design something from start to finish and then have the product that we need to demo in a certain amount of time,” said BenDebba, a computer science major who worked on a team to build an app that tells users the safest ATMs to visit.

BenDebba said she had been to other hackathons before, but she preferred the opportunities Bitcamp offered.

We e k e n d a c t i v i t i e s a t Bitcamp included a design competition, pitch meetings, a Super Smash Bros. tournament, s’mores eating and even a bout of water pong.

Jeff Hilnbrand, a senior mechanical engineering major who started Bitcamp last year and helped organize it this year, said this kind of energy goes hand-in-hand with the hackathon’s intentions.

“We wa nted to th row a hackathon and we knew we wanted to be different than the others, focusing on exploration and inclusivity and making an environment where people could explore and have fun,” he said. “That’s what Bitcamp is all about.”

With 750 participants last year, the large number of attendees this year — about 660 from this university — was a planned increase. All together, about 1,300 people filled Cole, including the mentors and sponsors. “ We n e e d to ke ep t h i s community going,” said José Zamora, a senior computer science major and general director of Bitcamp. “This [year’s turnout] is proving to ourselves and to the campus that this can happen every year and people do want it.”

Of those who turned out this year, the teams took different approaches to various projects. Some worked toward solutions to practical problems, while others looked to use coding platforms in innovative or humorous ways.

A team from West Chester University in Pennsylvania made an app to help people keep track of lost items. If someone attached small and

“Matt certainly has a plan for next year, a very concise plan. He has very clear goals, especially moving to the digital format,” Lamphier said. “We like the fact he just has those clear ideas about what he wants to do.”

MMI also re-elected Jacob Schaperow, a junior civil and environmental engineering major, as editor in chief of The Mitzpeh.

“He’s coming in with experience and he’s going to be able to get off to a running start with the publication next year,” Lamphier said. lschapitldbk@gmail.com

“It could be the world’s largest lost-and-found receptacle,” said Bruce Langlois, a junior computer science major at West Chester University.

A team from the United States Naval Academy designed and completed a setup through which a person using a laptop could pull a small pink switch on an Arduino boa rd to f i nd a mea ns of procrastination.

“A u t o m a t i c a l l y, b a m , there’s a random cat video for you to watch,” said Sam Coons, a sophomore computer science major at the Naval Academy.

Other projects included tweet-controlled drones, a virtual reality simulation to make soup and a Rock’em Sock’em Robots-i nspi red game controlled by punching the air. For these teams, Bitcamp organizers provided devices to rent out, such as Oculus Rifts, quadcopters, Muse headbands, Arduinos and Pebble Smartwatches.

Organizers brought in an extra 200-kilowatt generator along with thousands of feet of wire, as Cole did not have enough power for everyone, said Jeremy Griffith, a junior electrical engineering major and director for facilities, event technology and finance for Bitcamp.

The months of planning and endless meetings before Bitcamp were overwhelming, but he wouldn’t want to do anything else.

“It’s always worth it, even though I tell myself ‘never again,’” he said.

Though many of the crew

and participants barely slept and rarely took advantage of the 100 air mattresses available, few expressed regrets.

“I would love to explain how much fun I had, but I don’t have the mental capacity after all this thinking and not sleeping,” said Brandon Wetzel, a senior computer science major whose team designed a Pokémon game for the Pebble Smartwatch.

Bitcamp was funded by cor porate a nd u n iversity s p o n s o rs, i n c lu d i n g t h e Student Govern ment Association, which donated $ 5 ,5 0 0 . S a m i r K h u l l e r, the chair of the computer science department, noted that last year’s Bitcamp was what first brought Oculus VR CEO Brendan Iribe back to this university and led to his record-breaking donation. “ We’re e x t re m e ly i mpressed,” said Kay Freund, I BM ecosystem for hackathons project manager. “The energy levels, the speed of learning, the willingness to learn, out-of-the-box thinking, collaborating on a team — it’s amazing the skills people have by the time they leave.”

Though this university’s U Beats team members also went without sleep and went through some trial and error to get their programmable pad to play specific beats when detecting shadows, the software company Red Hat awarded them a prize.

But even without the prize, junior computer engineering major Ram Ambalavanar said he didn’t mind the long hours or the lack of sleep.

“It was absolutely worth it,” he said. jzimmermanndbk@gmail.com

“T hey just crashed,” Celebuski said. “Absolutely crashed.”

But a new campus campaign will attempt to bring back the checkerspot with help from the arboretum, the Honey Bee Lab and t he Pol l i n aTer ps club, she said. The three groups hope to make the university a stable environment for the struggling bug.

T heir plan is simple, Celebuski said. They will grow the checkerspot’s natural host plant, the white turtlehead, on the campus so the butterflies can comfortably survive here. The Baltimore checkerspot caterpillars must feed off the turtlehead, so it is key to their survival.

With enoug h tu r tleheads to susta i n the i n s e c t s, c h e c k e rs p o t s c o u l d g r o w n e a rl y a s common as campus squirrels, she said.

T h e groups began a Launch UMD funding campaign Thursday to raise $5,000 to fund turtlehead seeds and the first purchases of checkerspot caterpillars.

“Once we get the turtleheads established, the checkerspot butterf lies should be able to continue to thrive on their own,” Rennich said.

T he idea sprouted from PollinaTerps, a campus club focused on beekeeping, said Dennis vanEngelsdorp, an entomology professor, bee researcher and director of the Honey Bee Lab. They originally wanted to study monarch butterflies, a much more common insect, until a student member informed the group about the Baltimore checkerspot.

Now, they are also working with the Smithsonian Natu ra l H istory Museu m and the state Department of Natural Resources to bring back the butterflies.

the project would work. A group of volunteers already raised an isolated group of checkerspots in Black Hill Regional Park, she said. No one knows exactly what will happen with the butterflies, but this milestone will allow PollinaTerps and campus classes to closely study the butterfly in entomology or biology classes.

Bri ng i ng them to the campus will also bring more b i o d ive rs it y to c a m p u s, vanEngelsdorp said.

RHA encourages RoomSync use safety From PAGE 1

Facebook program’s limited use sparks greater promotion

By Morgan Eichensehr @MEichensehr Staff writer Last spring, sophomore Courtney Cooper didn’t have anyone to live with, but she didn’t want to end up rooming with a complete stranger.

Cooper wa s one of 67 2 students out of 27,056 undergraduates and 3,975 incoming freshmen who used RoomSync, an online roommate-matching software that uses Facebook to help students connect.

In recognition of the software’s limited use, Residence Hall Association members and Department of Resident Life officials are discussing marketing techniques to increase awareness about the program and encourage more students to use it. “[It] can offer a handful of potential roommates after you create your RoomSync profile, making it easier to cont a ct p otent i a l ro ommates,” said RHA Resident Life Advisory Team chairwoman Sasha Galbreath.

RoomSync features a more in-depth questionnaire than the standard questions students find on their Resident Life housing portals, such as whether they’d be bothered l iv i ng w ith someone who smoked and if their room is their preferred place of study.

“It’s like an online dating website for roommates,” said Cooper, a ling u istics a nd Spanish major. “The girl I met on RoomSync was really nice, and it actually worked out really well.”

However, not many people use the program, which costs

a student uses RoomSync to find a roommate. RHA is now heavily encouraging the Facebook software’s use after analyzing its limited use. james levin/the diamondback $5,000 per year to operate.

Resident Life started using RoomSync in winter 2012.

Between 2012 and 2013, about 580 students participated in the program. That number rose to 678 students between 2013 and 2014. And for the 2014-15 academic year, 672 students have participated in RoomSync.

“The number of students who use it has increased, which is good, but it’s not as much as we would have hoped,” said Scott Young, assistant director of Resident Life. “Honestly, I think the problem is we need to do a better job of promoting it.”

Young said Resident Life’s cont ract w it h RoomSy nc will expire in the next few weeks, but the department plans to renew the contract for one year.

After this one-year contract renewal, Young said, Resident Life will re-evaluate the program and its usefulness for students. He said the department will send out a survey to students who participated and ask how they felt about the program and whether it was valuable.

“We’ll be able to assess whether people thought it was usefu l, not usefu l, if there is a better format we could try,” he said. “We want

to determine if it’s money well spent.”

Cooper said that though she fou nd the prog ra m worthwhile, Resident Life should put more effort into advertising it. While she ended up having a good experience, she said her options were limited.

Galbreath said the pool of possible roommates is so small that it makes it d ifficu lt to find a su itable match. Young said living-learning programs can also impact people’s ability to find roommates, as students often have to live with others enrolled in their programs.

“So it could be a pool of 1,000 to 2,000 on-campus students, but when divided for living-learning programs, that pool becomes much smaller,” Young said.

Hopefully, Galbreath said, increasing the number of participants will make the program more helpful.

“I think part of the reason people aren’t on it is because they don’t know about it,” Cooper said. “If people used it more, I think it would be a great resource, especially for freshmen and sophomores.” meichensehrdbk@gmail.com

T he wa l k’s g row th th is year was due largely in part to the involvement of Greek life. Lambda Chi Alpha and Alpha Chi Omega sponsored the event, and 20 chapters made teams to participate, sophomore marketing and psychology major Jacob Katinsky said.

“You have a lot of manpower when you’re in a fraternity or sorority,” Katinsky said. “We kind of wanted to, and I think we did, create a f r i e n d ly e nv i ron m e nt, a competitive one, but i n a good way. People kind of see each other compete to raise more money for the walk.”

Representatives of Theta Pi Sigma, Active Minds and the University Health Center also helped plan the walk, Sukri said. After the walk, student comedy group Erasable Inc. performed and students had the opportunity to

Junior accounting major Siona Slepoy lost her father to suicide in March 2013. She said she does not want others to feel the pain she and her family felt.

“I a m so proud to look around me today and see that I am not alone,” Slepoy told the crowd. “I am so proud that we as a community have stepped up not just to show UMD that we care, but to bring suicide out of the darkness.”

Simmons, a member of Alpha Chi Omega, became involved in planning the campus walk this year because the issue hits “close to home” and also affects many of her peers.

“ I t ’s s o r e l e v a n t t o college students. It’s one of the leading causes of death of kids our age,” Simmons said. “This is a really great cause that can change so many people’s lives, and ju st by b ei n g here a nd walking, there’s a support group here at Maryland.”

Sophomore kinesiology m ajor R achel Je ssa my, another member of Alpha Chi Omega, said students might not be able to tell if their peers are struggling with mental health issues.

6.8 million inspection records and 18 million violations, said Ginger Jin, a university economics professor who helped create the database.

The database is available to a nyo n e i nte re s te d b y visiting InspectionRepo.com, where one can search based on establishment, city, state or food safety violation to get detailed information about various inspections. T his database could potentially make people less susceptible to food poisoning as well as more aware of restaurant dangers, Bederson said.

Along with Bederson and Jin, Phillip Leslie, a UCLA business management professor, A lexander Quinn, a 2014 university alumnus w it h a computer science doctorate, and Ben Zou, an econom ics doctora l ca nd idate at th is u n iversity, created the database. This u n iversity has played a pivotal role in this project, but the tea m of people behind the database worked well together, Jin said.

“I have been a long-time collaborator with [Leslie]; our 15-year-long research on retail food safety allows

us to see the value of making better u se of publ ic d ata from local governments,” Jin said.

Leslie said that while putting together the database, the group asked itself how restaurants and health groups can utilize these data in a meaningful way to make them more efficient.

Mov i ng for wa rd, the tea m i ntends to successfu l ly tra nsition from just t he d ataba se i nto a f u l ly functioning company.

“Upon completion, the three of us agreed that the best way to make the database sustainable was to create a company, so together we founded Hazel Analytics,” Leslie said, referencing to the recently created data a na ly tics compa ny. “T he three of us have been working closely on this initiative for about five years now.”

Leslie said though there have been technical challenges while building the database, the general process of compiling information has been challenging as a whole. “ T h e jo u r n e y of goi n g from a research project to a company, with partners, employees a nd processes has been a hard and superengaging challenge,” Leslie said. “Creating a startup in a

way that everyone is aligned a rou nd a nd bei ng able to maintain great relationships with your co-founders is a delicate process.”

“For restau ra nt ch a i n s with literally thousands of units across many jurisdictions, th is opens a whole new approach to data-driven food safety and regulatory compliance,” he said.

T he process of creating the database has not been easy, Jin said, and there is still more work that needs to be done to make the database work successfully.

“T here have been challenges along the way, but we have a great interdisciplinary team to meet the challenges,” Jin said. “Looking for wa rd, we a re work i ng h a r d t o e n g a ge s p e c i f i c cl ients a nd add ress thei r specific needs from this database.

MISCONDUCT From PAGE 1 Catheri ne Ca rrol l, th is university’s Title IX director, said the university originally included the sexual assault and sexual contact categories to “distinguish between what forced penetration is from other forms of assault because penetration in and of itself carries with it some more significant health-related issues.”

However, Carroll said the senate’s policy still upholds the interim policy’s expanded definitions of the terms, which is what is most important in ensuring sexual misconduct is handled fairly on the campus. “ I d o n’t t h i n k t h a t a t the end of the day it really matters because the way the policy changed for now, it still distinguishes [between the defi nitions], so it’s just what you’re calling it,” Carroll said.

T he senate w ill vote on t he prop osa l Apr i l 23 . I f it is approved, university President Wallace Loh must decide to enact the changes or reject them.

Loh declined to comment for this story until the finalized policy reaches his desk.

Terry Owen, the chairman of the review committee, said the main charge the committee had to consider was whether the interim policy aligned with the University System of Maryland policy.

The committee concluded the main difference between the interim university and system policies is that the interim policy renamed Sexual Assault II as sexual contact.

Many students had concerns rega rd i ng the sh i ft in terminology, said Ryan Belcher, an undergraduate representative for the Senate Executive Committee and an SGA member.

“That was something that SGA was fighting for and I personally believed should have happened,” Belcher said, referring to the EDI Com m ittee’s proposa l to restore the Sexual Assault II category name. “The interim

senior ryan belcher, who represents the behavioral and social sciences college as an undergraduate senator, listens during an April 9 senate meeting. sung-min kim/the diamondback policy did a lot of good stuff, but that was one of things I was worried about.”

Owen wrote in an email that he is content with his committee’s policy review, which considered concerns f ro m v a r i o u s u n i v e rs i t y com mu n ity members a nd student organizations.

“I’m very pleased with the end result and the work of the committee and hope that the Senate approves the final recommendations of the committee,” Owen wrote. “This policy will help reinforce the university’s commitment to a working and learning environment that is free from sexual misconduct.”

Catherine McGrath, Student Government student affairs vice president and an undergraduate senator, also said the change back to Sexual Assault I and Sexual Assault II terminology would be better, but there is more the committee could do.

“To me and to a lot of students, the attempted sexual intercourse holds the severity of an assault,” McGrath s a i d . “ I t ’s n o t a m i n o r offense if you’re intending to penetrate someone; that should be considered one of the highest offenses.”

Although the EDI Committee held two town halls to hear opinions from the c a m p u s c o m m u n it y a n d reviewed resolutions from the Graduate Student Government and SGA, McGrath said she was disappointed that information collected at open meetings was not

disseminated to those who could not attend.

“It was a little frustrating to me that on such an important policy, [the EDI Comm ittee members] weren’t bei ng fu l ly tra nspa rent,” McGrath said. “If there’s no record of what was said at that meeting, I have a hard ti me bel iev i ng they f u l ly considered student concerns in their recommendations.”

But Owen and Belcher both expressed satisfaction with how the committee served the campus community.

“Campus input was very important in the committee’s review of the policy, a n d w e w a n t e d to m a k e su re t h at t here were opportunities for all views to be heard,” Owen wrote in an email.

Belcher sa id he felt the com m it te e’s prop o sa l aligned with the SGA’s recommendations and that he was “definitely pleased.” “[Loh] was really hoping to get our input and he was really receptive to our criticism,” McGrath said. “I’m hoping that whatever policy we come out w it h i n t he senate, he will take those recom mendations a nd be com fortable ma k i ng that official campus policy. I do feel comfortable he would approve of any of the changes the senate made.”

his university works hard to maintain a clean collegiate image. The pristine umd .edu homepage, cheery holiday emails to the community and the well-kept lawns, gardens and buildings of the campus itself all project an air of dignified professionalism.

But the university has many public faces less regulated than its Campus Drive entrance. Consider the Reddit advice threads of r/umd, the candid course reviews of OurUMD or the recent A.J. Hurwitz email that shocked many on the campus and beyond.

Where the university breaks down into individuals, the institution’s publicimage priorities hold little to no sway.

And while we on The Diamondback editorial board sometimes cringe at the things our classmates have said online, we believe students’ privacy and First Amendment rights usually trump the university’s interest in its own reputation. So we support a state bill that would protect students by preventing university staff and faculty from demanding access to our social media accounts.

Don’t panic: Your professors probably aren’t trying to spy on your Twitter rant about how much you hate studying for midterms. This issue is mostly about student-athletes, who balance their public personas and athletic responsibilities with their personal lives.

The Student Press Law Center, supported by research from students in this university’s journalism school, announced last spring that of 83 Division I athletic programs polled, 59 placed restrictions on student-athletes’ social media use. In some cases, these rules

CAROLINE CARLSON

were just guidelines about avoiding online gaffes, but in others, studentathletes were obligated to take down any posts to which school officials objected or provide their usernames so administrators could watch their accounts.

This university’s Student-Athlete Handbook skews more toward the OUR VIEW

Although everyone has a right to privacy, student-athletes should still adhere to social media guidelines guideline side: It advises studentathletes to be respectful and factually accurate online and “always err on the side of caution” when posting on social media. The “Remedial Actions” clause warns that student-athletes risk their scholarships and playing privileges if they violate their conduct code.

On the whole, these rules would be good for anyone to follow, and the athletic-focused punishments aren’t objectionable, provided they are reserved for truly serious cases — imagine the blowback if a student-athlete tweeted something like Hurwitz’s email.

Though they are students, members of this university’s sports teams represent this university and the NCAA, and many organizations — this newspaper included — expect their members to tweet and use Facebook civilly. To follow the extreme hypothetical, suspending a rape-advocating student-athlete from being an athlete would be more reason-

able than suspending him or her from being a student, as some advocated regarding Hurwitz’s punishment.

The state privacy bill would be beneficial because it focuses not on what administrators can do in response to social media postings, but on how far they can go to control them directly.

Officials would still be allowed to check a student-athlete’s Twitter; anyone can see a public account, which is the type most likely to cause a public-relations fiasco in the first place.

But officials would not be allowed to demand the student-athlete’s Twitter password or require access to a private account.

The privacy bill’s text is a bit convoluted to that effect. A university can’t “require, request, suggest, or cause a student … [to] allow observation of” or access to his or her social media account, but it is allowed to view postings that are publicly available “as the result of actions undertaken independently by the student.” But this language creates a vital distinction between public image and private communication, and it gives the student the final say in what happens to his or her profile.

No student should have to share direct control of his or her social media profiles. If a coach wants to sit down with a player and talk Twitter etiquette, that’s fine, but the coach shouldn’t have the ability to just log on to the player’s account and singlehandedly remove tweets. Student-athletes are adults, and officials should address any misbehavior they commit through discussion and negotiation, not unilateral censorship.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

Unity and civility

I

want to clarify something I shared at the open forum on April 2, which was subsequently reported on in The Diamondback and then commented upon in two editorials. I suggested: “Beware of words like ‘unity’ and ‘civility.’

The intentions might be good, but these words are often used to dampen dissent.”

The Diamondback reported that I suggested “avoiding” the words, a guest column indicated that I said people should “eschew” these words and a columnist said that I said we should “not use” these words. Being cautious about our language and thoughtful about the meanings of our words is not the same as simply avoiding certain words. I want us not only to be cautious about the words, but also to be thoughtful about their meanings.

The word “civility” is loaded with all sorts of baggage. If you look up the definition, you’ll likely see many synonyms such as “politeness” and “courtesy” and “good manners.” In truth, these things are in the eye of the beholder. They harken to certain ideas of social class. The idea behind “civility” has been used to oppress many people, to talk about the need to “civilize” those “savages” — the “uncivilized” people who hadn’t yet been colonized.

The word “unity” could be seen to imply that we should all hold hands and get along. It can tend toward homogenization and toward glossing over the differences that make us unique. I believe all things are intimately connected, and in some ways, unity is a beautiful idea. But I also think we are not “all one” in our ideas and strategies for creating change, nor should we strive to be.

Too often, people are expected

not to get angry about being oppressed.

They are supposed to express information about how they are oppressed without feeling, without hurt, without anger. It is treated as though yelling and screaming or disrupting a meeting is uncivil but failing to produce an adequate response to or protection from racism and sexism is acceptable as long as you use pleasant words.

The truth is that much successful advocacy for social justice has come under terms that many would deem “uncivil” and which showcase “disunity” — labor strikes, sit-ins, protests, occupying private and public spaces in ways that are illegal or an inconvenience to others, takeovers of highways and meetings and buildings. Some of these are tactics in which Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders we like to quote have actually engaged. Listening and creating an open space where we can each express a variety of viewpoints is still a critical, if not primary, tool. But not everything can be solved through polite dialogue.

Sometimes, we must be disruptive.

Indeed, for a university that seems to embrace buzzwords like “entrepreneurial” and “innovative,” I would hope that we’d also embrace disruptive innovation. I don’t advocate disruption for the purpose of being disruptive or as a first resort.

However, when disruption can be employed as part of a thoughtful, nonviolent strategy for social and institutional change that includes concrete and feasible requests and outcomes, then why not? It often seems to work. Sometimes, it’s the only thing that works.

GUEST COLUMN

An open letter on budget cuts

D

ear President Loh, On Jan. 16, in response to recent budget deficits, this university announced a $15.6 million cut from the university’s $1.86 billion operating budget.

Similar shortfalls have befallen the other campuses in the University System of Maryland, but while they met the challenge by eliminating waste and delaying costly initiatives, this university’s administration placed the burden of austerity measures on its student body and workforce.

In recent statements, you have written of shared sacrifice and called on the campus community to “respond creatively” to constrained funding. But your administration has taken an uninspired approach that treats students and professors as items in a budget to be balanced or cut.

Our midyear tuition increase was greater than any other university system campus, only our faculty and staff are facing furloughs for the fourth time in five years, and only our administration levied a tuition surcharge on undergraduate and graduate students.

A surcharge of $100 might not seem injurious to you, but when rent in Prince George’s County is 60 percent of the standard nine-month graduate assistantship stipend of $15,294, we cannot afford to sacrifice any more. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the standard assistantship at

the university pays $10,000 below the $27,464 living wage for a single adult in College Park.

What place will our mission of instruction and intellectual development have amid the financial pressures faced by graduate students? If the university expects competitive excellence, graduate students cannot be underfunded and teachers cannot be undercompensated. Student debt loads are increasing while the percentage of classes taught by adjunct lecturers is at a record high.

We call on you to buck these trends in higher education.

We urge the administration to prioritize its employees and students over expensive building projects. A truly excellent university offers graduate education based on financial commitments to graduate student teaching, research and long-term career opportunities; ensures that graduate programs are not limited to the independently wealthy; actively combats racism, sexism and other forms of oppression; and recognizes that much of the research and innovation at the university is undertaken by graduate students.

We share the following demands: 1. We call for all money raised from tuition increases to be earmarked for undergraduate financial aid, adjunct salaries and benefits and graduate program funding.

2. We call for the tuition surcharge to be revoked and for the administra-

tion to apologize for failing to demonstrate consideration for graduate students’ concerns.

3. We call on the university to celebrate higher education as a public good and repudiate the perspectives that “view public higher education more as a private benefit,” as voiced in your “Creating Our Future” message.

Higher education instills awareness of learning’s public benefits, which are more valuable than monetary profit.

We will spread awareness of these issues within and beyond the university through every channel of democratic appeal available, including future action. We invite all members of the university to join us in speaking out against policies that put buildings ahead of people.

When submitted for print, this letter had 509 signatures on Change.org from faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students, among others.

To participate in an ongoing conversation about these issues and to read and sign a longer version of this statement, please visit our public Facebook group, “Cutting Our Future at the University of Maryland.”

T

wo years ago, when I was a sophomore, I would have been hard-pressed to define cholesterol. I would also have told you I got random headaches and stomachaches for seemingly no reason, and I would have just shrugged and said, “That’s life.”

I also would have told you I had never had any blood work done in my life.

Depending on whom you’re asking, this is either terrifying or seemingly normal. When I told my doctor that two years ago, he gave me a look I could only describe as completely mortified.

“I was born in a foreign country,” I said to try to make an excuse.

He did me a favor by not explaining how ridiculous that excuse was, considering I’ve been in the U.S. for 14 years, and responded with, “You’ve been wrecking your body in college for two years now; maybe you should see the damage.”

When I told my friends this, most of them were actually in the same boat. Some of them to this day don’t know what condition their bodies are in. But after I had my blood work done, I berated them relentlessly about getting theirs done too.

Blood work tests a plethora of levels, ranging from cholesterol to iron to hemoglobin — things I still don’t understand. But it’s

pretty easy to read in your results: Whatever is wrong is highlighted in red, and your doctor will tell you how to fix those things.

I wasn’t the ramen-every-day kind of person the first two years of college, but I certainly wasn’t a 5 a Day person either. I thought I wasn’t the healthiest person out there, but certainly I was better than most other college students. And yet my test showed I had high cholesterol, a mild dairy allergy and migraines that stemmed from preserved foods.

All of those threw me for a loop, but I got to work, quickly changing my diet and exercise. I fixed my cholesterol levels, removed about 80 percent of dairy from my diet and learned how to deal with the inevitable headache that would come from eating pepperoni (I won’t stop and you can’t make me).

College life has a tendency to include a bad diet. We students are often overworked, don’t have a lot of time, don’t have a lot of money and just want to wallow in our newfound freedom.

What we end up eating is fastfood lunches and frozen dinners on the daily. Over four years, this could do a lot of damage to one’s body. I have suggested and continue to suggest that students get allergy panels at least once and blood panels annually at a minimum to stay aware of what they are doing to their bodies.

Though highly intelligent, you can be quite simple and downto-earth in the way you reach out to those around you. You are not a snob!

Your personal tastes are wide-reaching, and while you enjoy the best that life has to offer, you can also be quite content with the simple things.

It all depends, of course, on what circumstances allow at any given time! You know how to be content with whatever hand fortune may deal you.

FEATURE | ABANDONED HELICOPTER

flightless but functional A well-hidden helicopter near Xfinity Center helps graduate students design their own aircraft

the huey helicopter rests in its spot near Xfinity Center on the campus, next to the Manufacturing Building. The chopper, donated by the state National Guard, isn’t operational — but it does help students studying helicopter design. josh loock/the diamondback

By Danielle Ohl @DTOhl Senior staff writer There’s a veteran-turned-instructor living on the campus.

Tucked deep in the intimidatingly STEM-related part of the campus, a Bell UH-1H “Huey” helicopter proudly serves as a memorial of military service, but now, a lesson in design.

The helicopter sits along the treeline next to the Manufacturing Building on Regents Drive. Though a frequented tailgate spot and latenight hangout, the bird has found its place among the academic elite: It’s been assisting graduate students in helicopter design since the state National Guard donated it in 1998.

“We go out and look at it whenever

there’s a new crop of grad students working on helicopter design projects,” said William Staruk, a doctoral candidate in the Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center.

The program has cared for the Huey for the past 17 years, giving it lots of attention and three paint jobs, including most recently in 2009. Today, it proudly sports the state flag’s black, red and yellow, but it’s due for another sprucing-up, doctoral candidate Elizabeth Weiner said.

“My goal for this summer is to try to get funding to repaint it, to try and keep people out of it, fix the windows, but it’s a huge investment that the university would have to make,” Weiner said.

The required funding would lie somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000, said Weiner, who would

like to update the Huey’s security system and repair broken windows that have been smashed by vandals and a tree during a 2012 derecho that hit the campus.

A little worse for wear, the Huey is still a timeless instruction manual.

Helicopters usually update technology but not aesthetic, said Staruk. This university’s 1959 Huey is largely identical in look to contemporary Hueys.

“They still have new versions, but it still looks the same,” Staruk said.

“If you were to park [the new version] next to [the Huey], you would recognize similarities. You’d be like, ‘Oh, that looks like an angrier version of the cute yellow thing.’”

The Huey on the campus isn’t operational — it’s missing an engine and all of its fluids — but its bones serve a better educational purpose

than any online picture or simulation could, Weiner said. Graduate students can sit inside the cockpit, crawl under the body and explore the control panel. Using this firsthand experience, graduate students then create accurate designs that the rotorcraft program submits to the American Helicopter Society’s annual student design competition.

The department’s student design team won first place in the AHS Micro Air Vehicle Student Challenge in 2014.

“Maryland does generally very well at these competitions, and since most students don’t get an opportunity to get inside a helicopter very often, having the helicopter out here … is useful for the newer grad students,” Weiner said.

The Huey, officially called an Iro-

quois, is “the most potent symbol” of the Vietnam War, said Staruk, and it makes cameos in movies such as Apocalypse Now and We Were Soldiers.

“It’s also a symbol of rescue,” said V.T. Nagaraj, a senior research scientist at the rotorcraft center. “So many people would have been so glad to see this. It was the air ambulance.”

The on-campus copter might be more than 50 years old, but it’s still a relevant testament to helicopter design and structure.

“If you see something you recognize, you’re more comfortable with it,” Weiner said. “Keeping something like that giant machine that’s flying in the air looking the same and keeping people comfortable is important.” dohldbk@gmail.com

LASTING IMPACT | THE NATIONAL, ALLIGATOR

‘we’ll run like we’re awesome’ The National’s Alligator — celebrating a 10-year anniversary this month — straddles youth and adulthood, which is partly why it’s one writer’s all-time favorite album

By Jonathan Raeder @jonraeder Staff writer The National’s third LP, Alligator, was released 10 years ago this month, back when the now-massively successful indie band was still playing often-empty bars and had only a few blips of critical recognition.

The band had only released two full studio albums, The National and Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers. Good records, but the band hadn’t produced anything revolutionary — until this one.

Alligator is the frenzied confusion of crossing the border of youth and adulthood, stumbling across that strange middle ground with a bottle in one hand and the other clutching someone else’s.

It’s repressed anger, drunken bravado, weekends filled with parties, early showers before work, the crushing loss of old friends, the specter of anxiety, the droning of days inside a cubicle … in a

sense, life for many Americans.

Now The National has more of a reputation for slow-burning sad songs, and while that’s always been true, the band was never more vibrant or angry than in this one, recorded back when the members would look themselves in the mirror afterward wondering whether they’d ever manage to impact anyone or anything.

Needless to say, for me, Alligator is a ready-made answer for the what’smy-favorite-album question.

Singer and lyricist Matt Berninger’s phrases blend the elements of ordinary life into something just a little off, just a little different and dreamlike, enough to leave most songs open for individual interpretation. These songs are about the duality of the introvert hiding behind the mask of the party, reveling in both but too uncomfortable to embrace either. Why Alligator? Why this creature? It doesn’t really appear in any songs or lyrics

apart from a line in “City Middle.”

Yet alligators have connotations of their own. They lie in the water, quiet and unassuming, drifting along until something wanders across their path. So many of these songs conceptualize anxiety in this way.

The narrator often turns to others for help, whether it’s a friend falling into rough times in “Friend of Mine” (“I’ve got two sets of headphones/ I miss you like hell/ Won’t you come here and stay with me?”) or a brother looking for support in “Abel” (“Turn around, turn around, take me back/ I can’t calm down”).

But even amid the fear and anger and general malaise of Alligator, there are some moments of levity and dark humor. A normally melancholic person, taking a drunken walk home, finally finds the self-confidence and courage he’s never had before in “All the Wine” (“I’m a festival, I’m a parade/ All the wine is all for me”). A

couple reflects on those few moments when all worry melts away and leaves nothing in its place but a giddy joy in “The Geese of Beverly Road” (“Hey love, we’ll get away with it/ We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius”).

Alligator might be a dark affair most of the time, but when the light peeks through, it’s like those brief moments alone at the beach, or with your arms around someone else, or on a bright, cool day when everything seems OK, not forever, but for right now.

Alligator ends the same way every National concert tends to — with the raucous, triumphant, terrified anthem of “Mr. November.” Is it about the band, scared of disappointing their new label and trying to keep things together? Or is at more about being the president of the United States, putting on your clothes in the morning, looking in the mirror, hand in hand with the person you love, shouting “I won’t

f--- us over, I’m Mr. November,” over and over until you can convince yourself it’s true? “I don’t know what to do/ In my best clothes/ This is when I need you.”

Alligator is about a period of life I’m only now entering, but it’s resonated with me for years. It deserves all the love it’s gotten in the 10 years since its release. It put The National on the road to being the massive indie success it is today. Yet it’s a reminder of where the members came from, back when life was so much more uncertain and prone to spontaneous collapse.

No matter how my musical tastes have grown, no matter how my life experiences change what resonates with me, I can only describe my feelings towards this album with a line from it: “You know you have a permanent piece/ of my medium-sized American heart.” jraederdbk@gmail.com

T h e Te r p s ’ s t r u g g l e s at the plate carried into Sunday’s rubber match, however, even with a slew of opportunities to jump on Iowa early in the game.

In the first inning, second baseman Brandon Lowe walked and shortstop Kevin Smith singled, putting runners on the corners with no one out. The middle of the lineup failed to drive them in, though, as right-hander Calvin Mathews induced two pop outs and a groundout to end the inning.

The Terps had runners on second and third with one out in the second frame, but center fielder LaMonte Wade, who made his second straight start since breaking his hamate bone March 7, struck out looking. Again, Mathews escaped the inning unscathed.

“That’s important to get on the board first on Sunday against a good team when you can,” Szfec said. “That kind of set the tone of the whole game for us offensively. When

“We didn’t have very many possessions in the first half, and we were only down two goals,” Tillman said. “Lacrosse is really a game of momentum.”

The frustration continued for the Terps, as Nardella recovered his own faceoff and finished his fourth goal of the year past Bernlohr with 3:16 remaining in the second quarter.

Then George scored again to start the third quarter, and the Scarlet Knights took a 5-2 lead.

The deficit presented a change for the Terps, who hadn’t faced a three-goal deficit since their only loss of the season, a 10-6 defeat at Yale on Feb. 21. In Wednesday’s 11-10 win over Loyola, the team never trailed by more than two goals.

Tillman said the high-pressure situations will benefit his team in the future.

“When we get in the huddle, we can go back to ‘Hey, remember when we were in the spot? Let’s go back and remember what we did,’” Tillman said.

About midway through the third quarter, the Terps were awarded a man-up opportunity. From there, the momentum shifted. First, Jay Carlson scored with 6:26 remaining in the third. Rambo scored less

buckeyes From PAGE 8 Before McPartland’s momentum-swinging score, the Terps opened the first half with energy that was missing from their contest Wednesday night against Princeton, when the Terps trailed at the break.

The Terps struck first when Cummings sailed a long-distance shot into the back of the Buckeyes’ net from the top of the circle about five minutes into the contest.

Twenty-three seconds later, Griffin took a feed from Stukenberg across the crease for another score.

“When we’re able to do a fast start, get the adrenaline right away, and be able to go down and have a couple transition goals in a row, I really think that helps with the momentum,” Whittle said. “Once we get in our flow and kind of get in our rhythm, then more shots start falling.”

Instead, the Hawkeyes opened the scoring in the top of the second inning without a hit. Right-hander Kevin Mooney, who made his third start of the season, walked four batters, one of whom brought home the Hawkeyes’ first run. Left-hander Robert Galligan replaced Mooney and retired the final two batters in the frame.

Galligan, who entered the game with a 1.62 ERA over 16.2 innings, held the Hawkeyes scoreless for the next four innings. And in the

Whittle, the Terps’ leading scorer with 49 goals on the season, joined in on the scoring minutes later before Ohio State got on the board to cut the team’s opening lead to 3-1.

The Terps, though, responded with a 5-0 scoring run in less than a five-minute span before the Buckeyes tacked on a final point before halftime.

Reese’s squad reached double-digit scoring, as it has in each game this season. But the Terps still had to gut out the final minutes of the game in one of the few tight second halves they’ve played this year.

By taking advantage of chances the way McPartland did with her goal, the Terps gained close-game experience and thwarted the Buckeyes’ late comeback bid. “[Playing in a close game] puts a little more pressure on our offense,” midfielder Erin Collins said, “and we have to focus more on making the right shots.” ccaplandbk@gmail.com

bottom of the fifth, Lowe’s conference-leading ninth home run of the season knotted the game at one.

“It never once crossed our minds that like, ‘Is he going to get it done this inning?’”

Lowe said. “It was, ‘We got to go out there, the guy’s going to throw a zero up, we’re going to come back in and we’re going to score runs.’”

But the offensive production never arrived, and Galligan’s scoreless streak ended.

A throwing error by Smith in the seventh inning allowed the Hawkeyes’ leadoff hitter to advance to second, and a single put runners on the

corners with no one out.

The Terps turned a double play moments later, but the Hawkeyes plated the goahead run.

And with the series on the line, the Terps failed to come back in a 2-1 loss, epitomizing their struggles at the plate in the final two games of a series that began with a promising result.

“We had plenty of offensive opportunities and just didn’t get it done,” Szefc said. “You’re not going to win a game when you’re scoring one run at home.” kstackpoledbk@gmail.com

Hills, meanwhile, came out firing in the first half. On his first possession, playing with the second team, he found

wide receiver Marcus Leak on a pass over the middle, and the senior broke a slew of tackles for a 26-yard score. Hills and Leak connected on two more scores in the first half.

But at times, Hills struggled to hit open receivers.

On his second drive, he had Leak running wide open down the left sideline, but his pass,

which traveled about 25 yards downfield, was out of Leak’s reach. Two plays later, Hills floated a pass to the right side that was picked off by cornerback Antwaine Carter.

than a minute later to cut the deficit to one.

By the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Terps had taken an 8-6 lead. After Nardella overpowered Garino in the first half, the Terps tinkered with their positioning on the wings and started to control possession.

Rutgers, though, scored two goals in the last eight minutes of the contest to tie the score and threaten the Terps’ winning streak. With less than a minute remaining, the Terps called a timeout, and Reppert laid out the offensive strategy for the possession.

When the Terps returned to the field, they hit Rambo with a pass behind the cage.

The Scarlet Knights slid to Rambo throughout the contest, forcing the sophomore, who notched six assists last season, to pass out of double-teams.

Last night, Rambo regularly looked for his teammates and asserted himself as a multidimensional offensive player.

“You put the ball in the stick of a really good player,” Tillman said, “and a lot of times they can make it look pretty good.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

Even with Hills’ three touchdowns in the first half — which came against the second-team defense — he had missed opportunities. After Hills fooled the defense with a play action in the second quarter, he underthrew Leak, who had a few steps on the defenders trailing him.

Later in the quarter, wide receiver DeAndre Lane found an opening behind the defense, but Hills couldn’t connect with him from 32 yards out.

It was a common theme for the two guys under center.

Hills and Cockerille are gunning for Rowe’s starting gig when he returns in the fall.

On Saturday, neither quarterback did himself any favors.

But it hasn’t altered their attitude.

Terps top Rutgers in close call Rambo scores late to polish off 9-8 victory

By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Senior staff writer

on Wednesday, the Terps (24-10, 8-4 Big Ten) were undefeated at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium.

But the team has dropped three of its past four games at home, scoring one run in each loss.

On Saturday, left-hander Tayler Stiles limited Iowa (23-9, 8-1) to two runs over six-plus innings, but he suffered his third loss of the year because of the lack of run support. Hawkeyes starting pitcher Blake Hickman took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Terps, who

The Terrapins men’s lacrosse team made quick work of Michigan and Penn State in its first two Big Ten games, outscoring its new conference foes by a combined score of 25-9.

But the Terps needed nearly 60 minutes to put away Rutgers last night in Piscataway, New Jersey.

The two teams traded blows for 59 minutes to leave the score tied with less than 20 seconds to play.

That’s when attackman Matt Rambo wheeled around the cage and slipped a shot into the top left corner of the net to seal the No. 3 Terps’ 9-8 victory.

Rambo also posted a career-high three assists and notched his sixth hat trick of the season to help extend the Terps’ winning streak to 10 games.

“I give [assistant] coach [J.L.] Reppert a lot of credit for drawing up the play, but for Matt, to really execute the play and come through for the team,” head coach John Tillman said. “We got out of there, got the W. Obviously feel pretty relieved to get two wins in a week.”

With all-America faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa sidelined for the second consecutive game with an undisclosed injury, sophomore Jon Garino Jr. struggled mightily early on.

Rutgers senior Joe Nardella captured the game’s first five faceoffs.

In turn, Rutgers scored three of the game’s first four goals. Goalkeeper Kyle Bernlohr (10 saves) angrily smacked the ball out of the net after midfielder Jeff George put the Scarlet Knights up 3-1 with 6:53 left in the half.

By halftime, Rutgers was up 4-2.

BLUNDERING BATS Performance at plate falls off in final two games of series loss to Iowa

By Kyle Stackpole @kylefstackpole Staff Writer In the seventh inning of the Terrapins baseball team’s game against No. 25 Iowa on Friday night, third baseman Jose Cuas put the finishing touches on a dominating series-opening win.

With his team already ahead 7-1, Cuas belted a three-run homer to left field to cap a five-run inning. The No. 19 Terps earned a 10-1 win and easily handed the Hawkeyes their first confer-

ence loss of the season.

But for the rest of the weekend, the Terps offense went stagnant, scoring a combined two runs over the next two games. The Hawkeyes took advantage, claiming those contests to win the series and put some distance between themselves and the Terps in the Big Ten standings.

“We missed a monstrous [opportunity],” coach John Szefc said Sunday. “If you’re going to win a conference championship, you have to win series at home, and we didn’t do it.”

Offense responds to Ohio State’s charge McPartland, Terps step up in key situations to weather Buckeyes’ strong 2nd-half play

By Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Staff writer Midway through the second half of the Terrapins women’s lacrosse team’s game at Ohio State, Buckeyes attacker Katie Chase slashed a shot past goalkeeper Alex Fitzpatrick.

After cutting the No. 1 Terps’ lead to 9-4, No. 14 Ohio State won the ensuing draw. Chase took the ball down to the Terps’ zone again and appeared to score for the second time in less than a minute.

But referees nullified the score because the senior was in the crease.

Instead of allowing another goal, the Terps earned possession, and attacker Kelly McPartland sprinted into the Buckeyes’ circle to net a point of her own.

That sequence helped the Terps weather a strong second-half effort from the Buckeyes to earn a wireto-wire 13-8 win Sunday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio.

“Sometimes we just didn’t finish or some turnovers that might have been good looks, but we just didn’t capitalize on the opportunities,” coach Cathy Reese said. “But Kelly was able to put one away, which was a big momentum shift for us.”

Attackers Brooke Griffin and Megan Whittle and midfielder Taylor Cummings led the Terps (14-0, 3-0 Big Ten) with three goals apiece as their team outshot the Buckeyes, 30-20.

Still, Ohio State (10-5, 1-2) outscored the Terps 6-5 in the second half.

“SOMETIMES WE JUST DIDN’T FINISH OR SOME TURNOVERS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOOD LOOKS, BUT WE JUST DIDN’T CAPITALIZE. ... BUT KELLY WAS ABLE TO PUT ONE AWAY, WHICH WAS A BIG MOMENTUM SHIFT FOR US.” CATHY REESE

Terrapins women’s lacrosse coach Chase led all scorers in the game with four goals. After McPartland’s turnaround, the Buckeyes star added two more scores, both off assists from behind the cage.

Her final tally cut the Terps’ lead to four goals with about five minutes remaining, but Reese’s squad responded with an efficient game plan.

“It was just the times we were able to possess it for a few minutes and then made the right decision,” Reese said. “Against the defense they were playing, we were trying to feed the ball in quite often. Some of those ended up in turnovers or saves, and we just wanted to again make better decisions on offense.”

The Terps used scores from Whittle and midfielder Zoe Stukenberg to cushion their lead before Ohio Sate tacked on a final mark with one second remaining.

QBs falter in scrimmage at Byrd Edsall says two signal-callers struggle to display consistency

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Senior staff writer After six years with the Terrapins football team, quarterback C.J. Brown’s drawn-out tenure in College Park finally came to an end in December. So when the Terps took the field Saturday for their annual Red-White spring game, it marked the beginning of a new era under center.

But Brown’s likely successor, senior Caleb Rowe, is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in the fall. With Rowe unavailable, sophomore Shane Cockerille and junior Perry Hills were given opportunities to showcase their play in an organized bout.

Neither signal-caller shined at Byrd Stadium, though. Cockerille completed 5 of 20 passes for 91

“Just very inconsistent,” coach Randy Edsall said. “We had some

open receivers that we missed on and some throws that we needed to make. And we hung on to the ball a little bit too long. Again, we got a lot of work to do with both of them.”

Cockerille, a dual-threat quarterback, led the first-team offense, but he never settled into a rhythm. The former ESPN four-star recruit out of Baltimore endured four sacks and struggled to make accurate throws on the run.

When he led the offense onto the field down 21-16 with 1:54 remaining, he sailed a pass on a curl route that flew into cornerback Will Likely’s hands to cap a struggling afternoon. “[Cockerille] played all right,” said running back Brandon Ross, who was the offensive bright spot for the White Team with 13 carries for 102 yards. “The one defense did a good See qBs, Page 7
