U crime down in April from last year University Police respond to disorderly conduct, assault, harassment complaints last month By Katishi Maake @TheHavocRat, @dbkcrime Staff writer Disorderly conduct, assault and harassment complaints all reached University Police in April, but the overall

number of reports dropped from the same month last year, University Police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas said. Aside from one false report, University Police responded to 184 incidents last month, down from the 215 in April 2014.

Disorderly conduct An officer noticed a group of individuals jaywalking at the intersection of Route 1 and Knox Road after midnight on April 15 in front of a driver who had the right-of-way, Hoaas said. When the officer attempted to gain information from a male university student involved, the man disobeyed

the officer’s orders. Hoaas said when the officer realized the student was giving him fake information, he told the student he would have to put him in handcuffs, which led the student to attempt to run from the scene. After a struggle between the two ensued, the officer called other See crime, Page 3

About 10 percent of dining hall waste is improperly disposed By Morgan Eichensehr @MEichensehr Staff writer The results of a university waste audit showed significant progress for recycling and composting in various university buildings. SCS Engineers, an environmental consulting and contracting company, analyzed waste gathered from four dorms, two dining halls and Stamp Student Union and published results in its 2014 Waste Stream Analysis report. Cindy Felice, Department of Residential Facilities associate director, said the report could help departments understand how current waste-disposal issues compare with the past two campuswide waste

Phi Mu Alpha initiates 9 students last Sunday By Grace Toohey @grace_2e Senior staff writer The Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity initiated nine men to this university’s chapter last Sunday, rechartering the music fraternity that hasn’t been on this campus since the 1970s. T he Eta Psi Colony now has 12 members — including three men who joined the fraternity at other universities and now attend this university — and is working to advance music in America through their group. “For the flagship university of the state, and one of the well-respected music programs in the region, to not have a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha was very strange, so to recharter was really significant,” said Scott AuCoin, the fraternity’s music director and a 2014 alumnus.

While the group receives many traditions from their national organization — which is the largest and oldest music fraternity in the nation — they also hope to establish chapterspecific traditions, said Drew Pascoe, the fraternity’s historian. “It’s a little stressful, because these See FRATERNITY, Page 2

A new initiative for the College Park Scholars living-learning program hopes to promote open discussion on sensitive topics students encounter. The program, Care in Action, held its fi rst event Apri l 14, hosting a discussion on the offensive January 2014 email sent by a former Kappa Sigma fraternity member that went viral in March. T he m ission statement for Care in Action is to be a studentled, staff-supported initiative promoting the well-being of the Scholars community of about 2,000 students, said Marilee Lindemann, the Scholars program’s executive director. “There are always going to be tensions and conflicts that go along in a diverse space, and we don’t want to shy away from that,” Lindemann said. “We don’t want to

pretend that those kinds of things aren’t happening; we want to have open, healthy discussions around those kinds of things.” The idea for Care in Action started when Ben Parks, a Scholars assistant director, saw a video for Indiana University’s Culture of Care program. Parks said the Rolling Stone’s University of Virginia fraternity gangrape investigative piece came out at about the same time. He said it created the perfect opportunity to start this program. While the initiative is heavily based on the school’s Culture of Care program, Lindemann said she channeled the hands-on nature of Scholars by putting students in charge of planning the program’s events. “I’m a huge believer that when you create this space and create an environment, students step up,” Parks said.

AUDIT From PAGE 1 audits, which were conducted in 2002 and 2008. The audit showed about 20 percent of all materials disposed of in dorm recycling bins were not recyclable. A majority of the nonrecyclable material was compostable waste like food, and dorms do not have compost bins. “This [report] really helped us u ndersta nd where ou r problems are and it helped us understand how we could get our recycling stream cleaner and purer,” Felice said. In 2002, 27 percent of all recyclable paper fell into dorm trash cans instead of recycling

bins. That number dropped to 8 percent in 2014, showing officials a significant improvement in students’ awareness of recycling. “Overall it looked very good to what it used to be in the past,” Felice said. “We’re very proud of it. … It shows we have done our part in the campus’s increased recycling efforts.” In Stamp Student Union, about 25 percent of recycling wa s cont a m i n ate d , w it h 13 percent of that compostable. The audit found about 11 percent of all composted materials to be contaminated. About half of all recyclable paper ended up in trash cans instead of recycling bins in 2002. This number has been steadily decreasing since

then, with 10 percent of all paper thrown in the trash in 2008 and 8 percent in 2014. Currently, signs instructing users where to dispose certain items are posted on some waste bins, and a video on the Stamp Green Choices webpage helps explain the trash disposal processes. Da n Wray, Sta mp’s assistant director of facilities, said Stamp is working on an outreach campaign for the fall, with funding from the Student Sustainability Fund, which will be aimed at promoting waste-consciousness. “ We u n d e r s t a n d t h a t sorting waste can seem complicated,” Wray said. “We are focused now on helping our students and guests to be

aware of the basics so they have a good foundation to build on.” Allison Lilly, Dining Services sustainability and wellness coordinator, said the department had the lowest rates of contamination in composting and recycling, but the audit can help alert the department of the compostable or recyclable materials still in landfills Only about 10 percent of all material thrown into recycling and composting bins in dining halls is incorrectly placed.

Dining Services and Stamp will continue to work with student groups and other departments to develop sustainable strategies, they said. “What’s happening next … we all say, ‘OK, what do we need to do to improve a nd reduce the conta m ination where we still have it?’” Felice said. “We want to work for greater education to try and get people to learn how to put stuff in the right containers.” meichensehrdbk@gmail.com

This initiation rechartered the music fraternity, which hasn’t been on the campus since the 1970s. josh loock/the diamondback Beyond the music, some fraternity members said they have benefited most from the relationships formed within the group. “The 12 of us, we’re very different,” said Nick Obrigewitch, a junior tuba perfor-

mance major. “It’s not like my other friends at all, but I really appreciate that.” For Pascoe, the group has b e come h i s home on t he campus, something he said he didn’t find until joining the fraternity.

Student’s website aims to make flying affordable University senior and her sister create online platform that finds cheap rates for flights, donates some profit to charity By Harris Blum @thedbk For The Diamondback In an effort to make airfare more affordable, a university student and her sister created a website to offer cheap flights while donating some profit to charity. Senior Sunmee Huh, a cell biology and genetics major, teamed up with her sister, Da h l ia Hu h, 17, to create PlaneTickets.com this past winter break. T he website i s a f l ig ht search database that works with Skypicker, a third party

ba sed i n Eu rop e to f i lter through travel itineraries and offer the user desired flights at the cheapest rates. Ten percent of the profit from the website would go to help fund and support medically oriented nonprofit, nongovern menta l orga n izations, Sunmee Huh said. “I was surprised that there was no big player in the [travel] industry that gives back to student organizations, such as Doctors Without Borders,” Sunmee Huh said. Huh came up with the idea for the site while searching for flights to Honduras during

summer 2014, hoping to go on a service trip to provide medical care to Hondurans in need. When planning her trip, she noticed the main cost of what she had to spend to attend a service trip was the price of her round-trip flight. After hours of watching tutorials on website design and programming, the Huh sisters launched their website at the beg i n n i ng of Ma rch. T he sisters said the website has had more than 20,000 visits and 7,000 f light searches since then. Sunmee Huh said they are pleased with the site’s traffic,

and they plan to garner a customer base with mainly people who have a passion for global impact and connectivity. Jay Smith, Honors College Entrepreneurship and Innovation program director, is a university professor who taught Sunmee Huh. He created a web development firm and is confident that his former student’s idea has potential for success, Smith wrote in an email. “Sunmee is one of the most talented, creative, hardworking and dedicated students I have taught,” Smith wrote. PlaneTickets.com is an advocate flight search database, Sunmee Huh said, which reroutes user’s searches to the specific airlines for tickets. She added the sisters are also

planning to start looking for advertising to boost the site’s success. “In the near future, my sister and I will be looking for investors to build up our business, as well as include hotel and car search,” Dahlia Huh said. W hile Sm ith said the website has the potential for success, he added that he could see them facing challenges while aiming for the desired website productivity, such as making sure the site is visually engaging for the user and efficient in its job. Jonathan Chen, a University of Pennsylvania graduate, was one of the first users to book a flight using the website. He booked a flight from Washington to Austin this past March

at a lower price than expected. “I liked the ability to customize my search criteria and how it helped me create a cheaper itinerary,” Chen said. Da h l ia Hu h w i l l attend H a r va rd Un iversity nex t year and works as a fu lltime student member of the Montgomery County Public School’s Board of Education, which oversees a $2.4 billion annual budget. While managing a part-time job, keeping up with schoolwork and running the business can be challenging, she said she enjoys it. “Working on a project and mission you love makes all the time and effort worth it,” Dahlia Huh said. newsumdbk@gmail.com

excel lence a nd academ ic prospering. … But I think living-learning should also be about empowering the self and the person,” Simon said. “It’s a really great space in the living-learning programs to grow that and develop that as well.” Parks said he hopes the programs will host a variety of dialogues and activities to create a better environment within the community, instead

of reactive discussions to controversial incidents. “In a way, part of what this does, is pull together things we do in Scholars and give them a coherence and visibility they haven’t had before,” Parks said. “There are other initiatives on campus … but we wanted to do some Scholarsspecific stuff.” Care in Action will be unveiled at Scholars Convocation, Lindemann said.

The program’s creators hope to host more programs in the fall within the Scholars community. “Care in Action really can foster a community based off of, you know what, we’re not perfect all the time and we’re going to hurt sometimes and be upset,” Simon said. “But we should have a conversation about it.” adunndbk@gmail.com

State inmates construct many pieces of U furniture Maryland Correctional Enterprises hires inmates to make desks, beds, dressers for university dorms, other products By Brittany Britto @thedbk For The Diamondback W h e n A n d re w D i c k e n would sit at a wooden front desk in Denton Hall during his shifts as a Resident Life community assistant, he was never aware the desk was crafted by state prisoners. Fo r n e a rl y a y e a r, t h e sophomore computer science major sat at that desk, which was one of the many prisonercreated pieces of furniture that fills dorm rooms all over the campus. Ma ryla nd Correctiona l Enterprises, a prison industry arm for state correctional facilities, hires inmates across the state to build products for colleges, hospitals and state buildings — including desks, beds and dressers for the university’s dorms, offices and classrooms, said Ashley Lohr, MCE executive assistant. “It’s a little odd to me, but it’s a good thing because rather than just sitting in their cell; it let’s them do something constructive and do something for their community rather than being bored all the time,”

Dicken said. “It gives some kind of way to help people or give back despite their sort of situation.” MCE has more than 30 business units — a textile business, a meat manufacturing plant and license plate making industry — and has held a partnership with the university for more than 30 years, selling an estimated $3.5 million in furniture to the campus in 2014, Lohr said. The industry strives to rehabilitate inmates through hard work and purpose, teaching them useful skills — in this case, through the assembly of furniture, Lohr said. To apply, the prisoners have to be free of infraction for at least 90 days and have a high school diploma or GED, she said. Fewer than 1 in 4 inmates who work for MCE during their incarceration period return to state prison, Lohr said. More than 2,000 inmates work on the furniture daily, he said. “It really is a great organization to be a part of,” Lohr said. “Aside from giving them those work skills and those work ethics, it also reduces prison idleness and really maintains

the security of the prison.” With a typical 40-hour work week, Lohr said MCE employees receive about $150 to $200 a month, depending on how long they have worked there. Spencer Hu rst-Bey, 59, of Washington state, is an inmate and the lead man in the prototype custom cabinet and special project department in MCE’s upholstery plant. After being convicted of first-degree murder in 1979, Hurst-Bey has spent more than 35 years in this state’s prison, and has worked for MCE for 25 years. “I didn’t know anything about wood at all,” Hurst-Bey said. “Through the apprenticeship program, I gained the basic skills that I have now.” Though his apprenticeship and training process for his MCE position was rewarding, Hurst-Bey said it wasn’t easy — he worked a required total of 8,000 hours of apprenticeship, 1,440 hours of on -the-job training and continuously trained with supervisors before he was qualified to work as a full-time MCE employee, which took six years. “On a basic level, it gives

said. “The fact that we get to see a little benefit from that doesn’t hurt.” Though MCE is a large help to the community with providing products at reasonable prices, Lohr said, the mission is to focus on the re-entry and rehabilitation of the inmates, which makes for a smoother and productive transition back into society. “The majority of the men and women in [the prison system] now are going to be our neighbors one day,” Lohr said. “So we do all we can to promote the rehabilitation

that cuts down on the crime in Maryland.” Freshman English and secondary education major Sarah Schurman, who lives in Bel Air Hall, said it’s important for people to know where the products they use come from. “It’s important for more people to know where the stuff that they use every day comes from,” Schurman said. “We should have a sense of gratitude for them for that. It kind of puts things in perspective in an interesting way.” newsumdbk@gmail.com

How to improve Launch UMD

Opinion Editor

STAFF EDITORIAL

n e o f t h e m os t rewa rd i n g aspects of working for a newspaper is informing readers about fascinating events and people in the community. But on a campus of tens of thousands, no single news source can cover everything that’s going on. That’s a good thing, though; it means this campus can support a diverse array of news organizations — La Voz Latina, The Mitzpeh, the PublicAsian, Stories Beneath the Shell and student radio station WMUC, among others — and it encourages students to seek out the news that matters most to them. Last week, The Diamondback’s Jeremy Snow reported on Launch UMD, the campus’ crowdfunding site, which in its pilot year has helped dozens of student-led campaigns raise tens of thousands of dollars for research, community projects, travel and more. This fundraising forum isn’t a news source, but it reflects the same values we journalists hold: fostering a sense of community by publicizing exciting events and opportunities. This editorial board hopes Launch UMD will grow in its second year and that students will take a look at the fascinating work it showcases. On a sprawling campus, Launch UMD helps select projects gain visibility and financial support. Since its website launched in April 2014, Launch UMD has crowdfunded 43 projects, three-quarters of which met their fundraising goals — an impressive success rate. You can visit launch.umd.edu to view the current projects, including a plan

Launch UMD gives a needed boost to campus fundraising, but there are a few ways its formula could be improved. Launch UMD’s format supports community members by helping them grow their projects. To receive the program’s support, each team of faculty, staff or students must fill out an application attesting to its project’s feasibility — a useful organizational step for any initiative. Projects approved by Launch UMD’s panel of University Relations staff benefit from a page on launch. umd.edu, plus the legitimacy that comes with inclusion on the site. A Launch UMD page doesn’t guarantee easy success — groups still have to manage their own publicity efforts — but it can help a project spread beyond its members’ social media spheres and into the larger campus community. The rest of the community can benefit from the crowdfunding program, too. For potential philanthropists, Launch UMD is a vetting system that helps ensure their donated dollars won’t go to waste. But even if you aren’t interested in supporting a project, Launch UMD

is an avenue for learning about a few of the ways your fellow Terps are working to improve your campus, society and environment. And if you want to give your time to the university community, instead of your money, each Launch UMD page is a relatively comprehensive introduction to an issue and initiative with which to get involved. Even if groups are just asking for money, chances are some of them need members or volunteers, too. Another great journalism lesson applies here: It never hurts to just track somebody down and ask them what they’re up to — and, in this case, how you can help. T h i s e d i to r i a l b o a rd h o p e s Launch UMD will expand to share more projects with the community. The program’s vetting process is admirable but limits its capacity; a separate, unsupervised forum could help other projects get off the ground without compromising the legitimacy of the formally accepted initiatives. A greater social media presence could also help — @LaunchUMDcurrently boasts a single tweet, but the account could be a powerful tool for sharing projects with the community. It would also be neat to see a crowdfunding statistics page like K i c ks ta r te r ’s, wh i c h i n c l u d e s numbers of projects, backers, pledges and other metrics. Launch UMD has a solid record so far, and backing that up with a large, robust support program could attract more supporters for this community’s “fearless ideas.”

rowing up, I always remembered thinking to myself, “Man, I can’t wait to be an adult.” To me, this meant being able to do whatever I wanted and answer to no one but myself. As I’ve grown up, I have found that my naive view of adulthood was not accurate whatsoever. As you get older, you might not answer to your parents as much, but you begin to answer to different authority figures such, as the IRS or your employer. In fact, you are told what to do more frequently as an adult than as a child. While that might seem like a drawback, many positives come out of growing up and being an adult. As an adult, you have a deeper understanding of yourself and your environment. Your actions also have the potential to help shape the future, and you earn your own way in the world. Developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your environment might sound borderline cheesy, but it is one of the most rewarding parts of being an adult. When you are younger and you get mad about something, you might become livid without understanding the underlying reasons. It is comforting to be able to reason through your emotions, instead of being blinded by them. This also extends to your immediate environment. As a child, you might be in a situation you find uncomfort-

GUEST COLUMN

Viewing riots in a new light

y now, many are aware of the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody. After reportedly being severely beaten, he died in the hospital after suffering fatal injuries to his spinal cord. Freddie Gray’s death inspired protests against police brutality that eventually led to sporadic riots. W h i l e i n fo r m a t i o n s o u rc e s such as Black Westchester insist that popular media outlets have skewed the representation of these protests, this column is not meant to throw those rioters under the bus. I am not going to weakly claim #notallprotesters. Instead, I ask you to view the riots from a new perspective. We must put ourselves in the positions of others to understand their situations. Only then will we progress toward enduring change. It is easy but reductionist to explain the actions of the rioters as opportunistic. We must delineate the role that authority (police officers or local government) plays more generally to understand the recent events in Baltimore. When a community allows themselves to be governed, it does so under the impression that the laws imposed by that authority are meant for the protection of the community. This agreement, a social contract, defines the relationship between the authority and the gov-

erned, as well as the responsibilities of both parties. The governed obey the imposed social order because they trust the authorities to function in the interest of public protection. It is a problem when the police use their authority to victimize rather than protect the community. Urban black communities like those in Baltimore are often the targets of these abuses of power. Al Jazeera America penned a scathing article about the history of racism among Baltimore police and the skewed media representations of these communities. Police have repeatedly demonstrated to these black communities that their lives are inconsequential, favoring the maintenance of the established social order. The community must view the police as attackers rather than protectors, as those who target community members based on an arbitrary imposition of the law. It is no wonder Baltimore residents have lost faith in the effectiveness of social order, considering the persistent abuse of policing power and the inability or unwillingness of governments to address abuses. The Baltimore government has failed to uphold its end of the social contract, and an authority that disregards the safety and autonomy of its citizens

is not one that is easily trusted. Some might still wonder how police violence justifies counterattacks of rioting, looting and vandalism. But for those of you who ask this, I ask these questions in reply: Why should a community be invested in a social order that places no value on its safety? How important are the values of a government that does not care if you live or die? If the rules in place are not made to protect you, what good are they? Freddie Gray’s death was the latest of many police killings that eroded the community’s trust. T h o u g h t h e i r a c t i o n s m ay b e violent, the rioters themselves are not violent. The rioters are filled with dread — dread for their own disenfranchisement, dread for the authority that stifles their humanity and dread for the eradication of their community if they do not fight back. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “a riot is the language of the unheard.” While he believed in nonviolence, he understood that this rage did not occur in a vacuum. He understood if the systematic oppression of the black community did not end, then neither would the riots. Stephen Byrne is a junior psychology major. He can be reached at coffan1334@gmail.com.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

Richie bates/the diamondback

able and run away from it. As an adult, you become mature enough to deal with your discomfort internally and continue doing your job. The actions of today shaping the future of tomorrow is another cheesy premise, but one that is nonetheless true. Choosing a profession sets you on a path that could potentially alter your future as well as many others’. If you look at people who chose to enter politics and eventually became president, their choice of that path had very real effects on the world. So when making decisions as an adult, you must be conscious of the path you are setting yourself on. Money makes the world go round. Never has a truer statement been said. When you are a kid, most of your expenses are covered, but you often cannot afford to do anything on your own. As an adult with a job, many doors begin to open for you to purchase or experience a variety of things. You can purchase a new gaming system or fly to Europe and see things you have always wanted to see. Earning your own way might be difficult at times, but it is one of the ultimate rewards of being an adult. For those who are graduating, try to keep an open mind about being an adult and embrace the responsibility. It is going to be best, and at times the worst, but you will have to deal with it like an adult and simply keep moving forward.

he biggest on-campus story of the past month has undoubtedly been the controversy surrounding SEE’s screening of American Sniper. Here’s the shortest rundown possible: Student Entertainment Events decides to show the critically acclaimed Clint Eastwood film American Sniper in Hoff Theater in late April, switching from its original choice of Jupiter Ascending. Noticing complaints on social media, SEE puts out a statement regarding the entertainment value of American Sniper and defends its choice. The Muslim Students Association begins a petition and lobbies SEE to cancel the screenings, citing concerns over the film’s portrayal of Muslims and concerns over the safety of Muslim and Middle Eastern students. SEE decides to cancel the showing of the film. College Republicans begin counter-petition to have film shown, national conservative media groups take notice and eventually SEE decides the viewing of the film will be postponed to the fall semester. As one of the few conservative members of The Diamondback’s opinion staff and a proud member of this university’s College Republicans, I hope this piece can express not just my take on the events that unfolded, but my hopes for the showing of the film — which will take place at 6 p.m. tonight in the Hoff, followed by a panel discussion. To begin with, I hope the disagreement among student groups as to whether SEE should show this film will end up being nothing more than that. It has been embarrassing to see

the kind of harassment that the MSA and Muslim students have faced in response to their request that American Sniper not be shown. Between reading some of the vile and racist comments on social media to overhearing conversations about and with the MSA, Muslim students’ warnings about racism seem to be true. To all Muslim and Middle Eastern students, this is the absolute last thing I and so many others who supported the film’s screening wanted. It’s my view that SEE should screen any movie it chooses, without having to consider who it might upset, because that form of censorship creates a particularly hazardous slope on which we could judge the worthiness of media and ideas being exchanged on the campus. This controversy revolved around the harm of censorship on college campuses, which should serve as the beacons for any exchange of ideals. I can now, however, see how this controversy involves conversations other than censorship to so many Muslim and Middle Eastern students. While it might be a lot to ask of Muslim and Middle Eastern students, I hope for some degree of forgiveness for not realizing how this film impacts you. While I refuse to budge on the necessity of showing this film and the dangers of censorship on college campuses, I do hope that every Terp, regardless of background, can continue to see themselves as part of one campus community. I hope we can come together as a campus to take in this movie as the future thinkers and doers of the world, who will have to confront uncomfortable and controversial topics on a daily basis in this vast, complicated world, and will have to make sense of them together.

GUEST LETTER

A writer’s apology On Thursday, I had a hostile exchange with reader Caitlin Doherty on my Diamondback email account, screenshots of which went viral on Twitter shortly after. Needless to say, I wrote things that should not have been written, and I truly apologize for the embarrassment caused to The Diamondback as well as the hurt inflicted upon Doherty and my audience. In the aftermath of the exchange, I did an interview published Friday afternoon regarding the Twitter incident during which I apologized for any misogynistic things I may have

said along the exchange. Well, that’s not enough. The comments exchanged went beyond misogynistic and were disrespectful and obscene to all. I wrote something in the heat of the moment — a very dumb and immature thing in and of itself — and it got the best of me. None of my readers and commentators should be targeted with such abuse. Again, I apologize to all parties involved in this incident. Gonzalo Molinolo is a junior history major and former Diamondback columnist. He can be reached at gonzalomolinolo@gmail.com.

orn today, you are forthright, decisive and always willing to face the facts, even when they are inconvenient. You see no real benefit in retreating from the truth, as you are confident that the truth will always find a way to catch up with you eventually. You are far more willing to deal with reality than most; because of this, you are often able to use it to your advantage, even when it appears to offer nothing of value in the moment. You know that good things sometimes take time, and you don’t mind waiting for good things to come to you. Indeed, such patience is perhaps your single greatest strength; you are never in a hurry to make things happen for yourself or to collect the rewards to which you believe you are entitled. You will always wait your turn. You have a rare kind of magnetic charisma; others are drawn to you, sometimes against their own will! Fortunately, you aren’t the kind to use this aspect of your personality in any way that is inappropriate or unfair, but on the flip side, you cannot seem to “turn it off” at will. You are what you are, and that’s all there is to it! Also born on this date are: Audrey Hepburn, actress; Randy Travis, singer; Pia Zadora, entertainer; George Will, author and political commentator; Paul Gleason, actor; Will Arnett, actor; Ana Gasteyer, actress. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, MAY 5 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The more you distract yourself, the more someone else is going to get frustrated by your inability to focus. Do you really want that? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It may be time for a changing of the guard, of sorts. What comes to you later in the day may be more valuable than expected. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’re looking forward to something that is scheduled to take place in the coming days. Use the time to prepare properly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have the ability to shine, even when you are working under pressure. The clock is ticking, but you can still gain many style points. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A harmonious attempt to do something with others may fall a bit flat. Perhaps it takes a bit of conflict to get the juices flowing! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -Those in your care may challenge you in ways that you do not expect -- and continue to challenge you in the ways they have before. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -You may feel that there is nothing

new under the sun, but indeed what counts most is the fact that you are doing it your own way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You’re used to hearing others complain; today, someone may bring to your attention something that you’ll want to complain about! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A slow and steady approach will allow you to see things as they are even as you pass them by. The journey counts for much. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’ve been apologizing far too much lately. Perhaps it’s time to change your ways, rather than make excuses as you have in the past. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Though the technical demands of a new endeavor may be quite daunting, you’re sure to appreciate the aesthetics of it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Now is the time for you to give someone the truth and nothing but the truth. It’s not likely to sit well at first, but time heals all wounds.

FEATURE | ART ATTACK XXXII

ART ATTACK IN FIVE SCENES Though it reached the four-hour mark, SEE’s year-end concert was a night of moments and individual storylines

all four artists, including student performer The Orthobox (left), rapper Logic (right), EDM duo The Chainsmokers (lower center) and pop-star Jessie J, who performed during SEE’s Art Attack XXXII kept the audience entertained for the nearly four-hour show. james levin/the diamondback By Michael Errigo @M_Errigo Senior staff writer Time defined Art Attack XXXII. The annual concert put on by Student Entertainment Events and held in Xfinity Center on Friday arrived at a moment when many students needed a break. With finals right around the corner, the periods when spring could be celebrated and when textbooks come a-calling were starting to converge. So 6,486 people filed into Xfinity in search of a way to blow off steam. They wanted a good time. And in a night that featured four distinct sets, three big names and four long hours, the small moments within the marathon spoke to the night’s themes and the successes.

to start, sophomore criminology and criminal justice major Natalie Singal weighed in on the one of the main conversations dominating the talk around this year’s concert. “I like Xfinity much better than Byrd,” she said. “It’s a lot better that it’s in here because Maryland weather is so unpredictable.” Within the clusters of people in each section, glow sticks and phone screens lit up students’ faces with similar frequency — each one representing a range of excitement for the event. Down on the floor, people took selfies with the stage in the background and a group of students started kicking around a beach ball in the massive free space still available as they waited for the night’s entertainment to begin. 7:40 p.m.

6:30 p.m. Thirty minutes before The Orthobox took the stage, it was hard to put a finger on just how many people were in Xfinity. The eye test said about 100, but more likely, about eight or nine times that number filled the space. Moved to the home of the Terrapin’s basketball team for the first time this year because of the Big Ten men’s lacrosse tournament taking place in Byrd Stadium, Art Attack was set up to play to the venue’s strengths. A multitude of speakers and lights surrounded the stage and the aesthetic qualities of each performance were much more in play than ever before at Byrd. “It’s hard to compare it to Byrd, especially because Byrd has the tradition,” SEE public relations director Andi Hubbell said at the end of the night. “But this was clearly a great alternative; it turned out well.” Sitting in the lower left section of the arena and waiting for the show

Wearing black sweatpants, a black Terrapins sweatshirt and a black hat, Logic paced before the backstage curtain as his hype man howled. The 25-year-old rapper from Gaithersburg was about to take the stage. As the beat of his opening song began to blare, the pacing came to a sudden stop. He bowed his head calmly and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, his time came. The curtain opened a sliver and he disappeared into the light. “This is crazy,” the rapper said on the stage after his first song drew thunderous cheers from the crowd. “This college means so much to me. This is where it all started.” He performed tracks off his new album, Under Pressure, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard charts in November. At one point, Testudo joined him onstage and the two university mascots embraced. A cover of David Guetta’s “Memories” whipped the crowd into a frenzy. The outer rim of the floor-level

stage-front mosh turned into a dance party of those patrons unafraid to give away a spot up close in exchange for the room to let loose. “It’s cool that he’s from Maryland, but it helps that he’s a really good rapper too,” said Christian Olsons, a freshman enrolled in letters and sciences. Toward the end of his set, the Marylander turned to the crowd, filled with energy, and let them in on his ambition. “I ain’t really going to be happy ‘til I headline this m---------er myself!” he yelled, drawing a roar from those who thought it sounded like a pretty good idea. 9:05 p.m. The Chainsmokers were already deep into their set and the advantages of Xfinity became clear. Beams of color shot out from the stage in every direction, turning the arena into a light show. Each bass drop was a reminder to those who would’ve preferred Byrd that grass can’t bounce. The constantly fluctuating crowd size, a side effect of the multi-genre lineup, seemed to be at its height. Each section was on its feet. The floor-level mosh didn’t seem to grasp the concept of good positioning, turning instead into a shape-shifting mass of bodies. Andrew Taggart, one half of the EDM duo, knew the set was going well, and told the crowd “this is one of our best shows all year” only a few tracks in. The Chainsmokers were killing it; and he knew it, and he knew the crowd knew it. He also knew their hit song “Kanye” was right around the corner, arriving at just the right time. As the buildup to the refrain grew and grew, Taggart climbed to the top of the DJ tower he had stood behind. Then it dropped. “I wanna be like Kanye/ I’ll be the king of me always”

the crowd sang with jarring collective vitality. In complete control, the audience in the palm of his hand, Taggart leaped, soaring high and down onto the stage. Art Attack XXXII was officially a success. 9:45 p.m. As the crowd lounged around waiting for Jessie J to appear, SEE’s senior members gathered backstage, grabbing handfuls of glow sticks. It’s a tradition within the organization for the graduating members to run out on stage before the headliner and throw glow sticks out into the crowd. It functions as one last student service from a group that had spent countless weeks performing just that. With the exception of the night’s cleanup and a few smaller events in the next week or so, it was also a small finale of sorts to what has been a big year for SEE. Art Attack, its signature event, was its fifth concert in the past nine months, including the big Joel McHale and Kevin Hart comedy shows in Cole Field House. It was a year of success, change and, most recently, a bit of controversy. “I couldn’t have expected or wanted anything more than this year,” Hubbell said. “That’s not to say that this was the perfect year—we can always get better. But I’ve been very pleased with the events this year and the campus attitude has been very positive.” That positive attitude showed Friday night. Before Jessie J could sing a note, the Art Attack crowd cheered as SEE’s graduating members ran out onto the stage. They stood tall in front of a sea of grasping hands and performed their final act. 10:35 p.m. The stage was dark and the music

had completely stopped. Surely Jessie J wasn’t done for the night, right? At this point, the concert was well into hour three and the crowd had been whittled down to those who were there to see Jessie, to sing her lyrics and to dance to every beat. And of this number, there were many. “Her vocal range is everything, and she’s not just a singer; she’s a great performer,” junior communication major Moriah Fuller said. Singal added: “She’s just raw talent. The way you hear her on the radio, that’s real life.” Singal was one of the 20 or so fans who purchased the VIP “Jessie J Experience” package for $150. She got to meet the pop star before the show and received floor passes. At one point in her set, Jessie J said it was the first time she had performed more than a few songs in the area. She thanked the crowd multiple times. She seemed excited to have the spotlight and grateful for the opportunity. But when she left the lights, gone backstage to who knows where, a chant grew out of the crowd and reached a steady beat: “Jessie! Jessie! Jessie!” Three-and-a-half hours in and nobody wanted the end to be near. Soon, the singer emerged wearing a black No. 10 Terrapins basketball jersey and immediately launched into her mega-radio hit “Price Tag.” The response was deafening. Twenty minutes later, she took a bow on each side of the stage to frenzied applause before closing the show. As students filed out, Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” played over the chatter and laughs. Art Attack XXXII was a good time. merrigodbk@gmail.com

draft From PAGE 8 The 6-foot-3, 319-pound lineman tallied 125 sacks, 5.5 sacks and one forced fumble during his four seasons in College Park. He will join a Broncos defense that finished tied for ninth in the NFL with 41 sacks. Several other Terps weren’t selected in the draft but signed with teams Saturday and Sunday, according to reports. Wide receiver Deon Long, whom NFL.com projected to go in either the sixth or seventh round, went undrafted but agreed to a deal with the Tennessee Titans.

whittle From PAGE 8 going to goal, she’s going to goal, and it’s awesome.” Ohio State threatened to tie the game again about two minutes after Whittle’s first goal, but the Buckeyes shot clanked off the post, and the Terps successfully cleared the zone. Midfielder Taylor Cummings rifled a shot at Ohio State goalkeeper Tori DeScenza, who made the stop, but Whittle recovered the loose ball and drew a foul. The rookie then fired her free-position shot into the upper-right corner of the net to boost her team’s lead to 6-4 at the break. “I like to see that she’s not afraid to go and is confident in that,” Terps coach Cathy Reese said. “She’s a great dodger, so she had a lot of good opportunities out there.” Whittle kicked off the second-half scoring with a bounce shot about six minutes into the period for her teamleading 59th goal of the year. But from there, Whittle and the Terps offense went cold for a stretch. The Buckeyes controlled three straight draws and grabbed their first lead of

Linebacker Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil reportedly will join Long on the Titans, while l i n eba c ke r Co l e Fa r ran d signed with New York Giants and linebacker Matt Robinson came to terms with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Defensive lineman Andre Monroe, who tied the Terps program record with 24 career sacks, will get a chance to make his hometown team. The Baltimore Ravens have invited Monroe to attend minicamp on a tryout basis, according to The Baltimore Sun. rbaillargeondbk@gmail.com

the game with 16:55 left. It was the latest the Terps had trailed in a game all year. And even Whittle struggled at times. The Terps’ only freshman starter failed to put five of her shots on goal, and she also received a yellow card with less than two minutes remaining after colliding with a Buckeyes player. “I know at the end, she probably wished she would have shot a little bit better,” Reese said. “[But] she generated a lot of offense today. … She was getting a lot of good looks at goal.” Still, Whittle, whose third assist of the year opened the game’s scoring, led the Terps in points along with Griffin. Both players were named to the all-tournament team. While their contributions weren’t enough to help the Terps avoid their first loss in more than a year, the team said they will use Whittle’s performance as a model with the NCAA tournament looming. “She just has a ton of confidence,” Douty said. “That’s what we need — everyone to have confidence on the offensive end.” ccaplandbk@gmail.com

hoosiers From PAGE 8 any aspect of the game this wh o l e we e ke n d . M ayb e Friday had something to do with that.” E n t e r i n g S a t u r d a y ’s contest, the Terps scored four or more runs in six straight games. But against Hoosiers left-hander Kyle Hart, who hadn’t pitched past the third inning in any of his four starts this season, Sz e fc ’s s q u a d m a n a ge d just two runs on six hits. Hart allowed one run in five innings en route to his second win of the year. Terps left-hander Robert Galligan, meanwhile, had troubles on the hill. In his second consecutive start, Galligan gave up six runs (four earned) and issued three walks in 4.1 innings. The Hoosiers (26-19, 9-10 Big Ten) plated two runs in each of the first two frames, and the Terps (32-16, 11-7) couldn’t dig out of the early hole in their eventual 13-2 defeat. Leading 6-2 after seven innings, the Hoosiers broke the game open in the eighth with seven runs on seven hits. In the series finale Sunday, the Terps again fell behind early as the Hoosiers

raffa From PAGE 8 Raffa didn’t fare much better, though. After midfielder David Planning put the Buckeyes ahead 6-5 with 11:47 left in the game, Raffa suffered a faceoff violation on his first attempt. By the time he lost his third faceoff, the Terps trailed 8-5. Raffa’s health status has been a common issue for the Terps this season. The

right-hander mike shawaryn walks off the mound after he was pulled during the No. 21 Terps’ 6-5 loss to Indiana on Friday at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium. The Terps ace lost his first game of the season and the fifth of his college career. sung-min kim/the diamondback scored five runs in the third inning in their eventual 6-2 victory. Terps left-hander Jake Drossner, who walked home two runs in the third frame, surrendered five runs in 2.2 innings. Szefc had to juggle the lineup Saturday and Sunday due to injuries and absences. Starting shortstop Kevin Smith was the designated hitter for Saturday’s game

because of soreness in his right shoulder, and center f i e l d e r L a M o n te Wa d e didn’t play Sunday because of a violation of team rules. Wade, who wasn’t at the ga m e , a l s o w i l l s i t o u t Wednesday, Szefc said. “Nothing really went right for us,” right fielder Anthony Papio said. “We weren’t playing our best baseball by any means.”

Even so, with two more weekend series before the Big Ten tournament in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Terps have some time to rebound from their disappointing weekend. “This is some of the worst baseball we can play.” Smith said. “So going forward, we have a lot to look forward to.”

team, Tillman said, typically plays better with the senior on the field. Behind a 15-for-22 performance from Raffa against North Carolina on March 21, the Terps knocked off the then-No. 2 Tar Heels, 10-8. And in the Johns Hopkins game, the Terps took a 5-3 lead in the first quarter after Raffa won his first five faceoffs. But as the game wore on, and the hits kept coming, his efficiency diminished, and the Terps couldn’t hold their lead.

Despite Raffa’s ineffectiveness Thursday, Tillman said Raffa wanted to stay in the game after losing his first three draws. “I candidly just pulled him out,” Tillman said. “There was really nothing to gain. We were down four goals with about a minute-anda-half left.” T h ro u g h o u t h i s f o u r years with the Terps, Raffa has played through physical setbacks. And as his career winds down, he doesn’t want

to keep watching games from the sideline. Raffa told Tillman he felt fine to start before Saturday’s game. But Tillman had other things to consider. “Our concern with Charlie is not so much how he feels now,” Tillman said. “The concern is we put him in there, something happens, and all of a sudden he’s never right again. ...Sometimes we have to save him from himself.”

Vikings take Diggs, Broncos pick Kilgo in NFL draft More than one Terp selected for first time since 2011; wide receiver goes in fifth round, defensive tackle in sixth By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Senior staff writer For the first time since 2011, NFL teams have selected more than one player from the Terrapins football team in this year’s draft. The Minnesota Vikings took wide receiver Stefon Diggs in the fifth round while the Denver Broncos picked defensive tackle Darius Kilgo in the sixth round Saturday. NFL.com projected Diggs, who came to the Terps as the No. 13 recruit wide receiver stefon diggs returns a kickoff during the Terps’ 40-37 loss to West Virginia on Sept. 13 at Byrd Stadium.

or fourth round. But in a draft class full of talent at the wideout position, Diggs slipped to the fifth round and 146th overall pick. “If somebody picks up him in the fifth round, they are going to get a real deal,” Good Counsel coach Bob Milloy said Tuesday of Diggs, his former star. Diggs, a Gaithersburg native who opted to forgo his senior season with the Terps to enter the NFL draft, finished second in program history in receiving yards and fourth in receptions. He overcame a revolving door at the quarterback position with five

different signal-callers seeing action during his career. He will join speedy wide receivers Mike Wallace and Cordarrelle Patterson on the Vikings, who start secondyear quarterback Teddy Bridgewater this season. Kilgo, meanwhile, heard his name called earlier than NFL.com projected. The outlet had him pegged as either a seventh-round selection or a priority free agent, but the Broncos selected him with the 203rd overall pick in the sixth round. See draft, Page 7

Whittle strong in first loss Freshman nets three scores as Terps lose in Big Ten semifinals By Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Staff writer

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Entering the Big Ten tournament semifinals, the Terrapins women’s lacrosse team hadn’t lost since April 5, 2014. But Friday night, the Terps couldn’t overcome Ohio State’s scoring runs and fell for the first time in 28 games. While the loss marred the top-seeded Terps’ quest for a perfect season, the team found a bright spot in the 11-10 defeat. Attacker Megan Whittle scored three consecutive goals, spanning halftime, in her first college postseason game. “Seeing that she can take the ball and go to the goal and score three goals in a postseason game is great,” defender Megan Douty said. “It’ll help us definitely in the playoffs.” Whittle started her scoring run with 5:25 left in the first half after the Terps gained possession from one of goalkeeper Alex Fitzpatrick’s seven saves. The Terps took off in transition, looking to halt the Buckeyes’ momentum after they had answered the Terps’ early 4-0 lead with their own four-goal run. On the offensive end, Whittle stood unmarked within the 12-meter fan and redirected a pass from attacker Kristen Lamon behind the Buckeyes goal to help the Terps regain the lead. “We can count on her,” attacker Brooke Griffin said. “When she’s See whittle, Page 7

‘worst weekend’ Terps swept at home for first time during Szefc’s three-year tenure

By Phillip Suitts @PhillipSuitts Staff writer Coach John Szefc has taken the Terrapins baseball program to new heights since he was named the program’s head coach in July 2012. Last season, Szefc led the Terps to their first NCAA tournament season appearance in 43 years and first-ever Super Regionals appearance. But in their three-game series this past weekend, the Terps achieved a less notable feat as they were swept at home for the first time in Szefc’s three-year tenure.

“[It’s] probably the worst weekend I’ve spent as the coach at Maryland,” Szefc said. “That’s the most I can tell you.” The No. 21 Terps struggled in all facets of the series against Indiana, a team that entered this weekend with six conference victories. Their 11-run loss Saturday matched their worst defeat of the season, and the team capped off its disappointing weekend with a 6-2 loss Sunday on Senior Day. “We were outpitched,” Szefc said. “We were outhit. They played hard; they were just better in every phase.” The weekend began in unusual fashion Friday when right-hander Mike Shawaryn

suffered his first loss of the season in the Terps’ 6-5 defeat. The sophomore hurler, who entered the game 10-0 with a 1.52 ERA, allowed five runs (three earned), nine hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. An inefficient offense matched his struggles, as the Terps notched six hits and left 10 runners on base. “Just because you lose one game on a Friday doesn’t mean you tank the rest of the weekend,” Szefc said. “I’m not saying we tanked it, but clearly we weren’t good in See hoosiers, Page 7

MEN’S LACROSSE

Raffa ineffective in limited action against Ohio State Tillman rests oft-injured faceoff specialist for first three quarters of Big Ten semifinal; senior goes 0-for-3 By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Senior staff writer In the week leading up to the Terrapins men’s lacrosse team’s Big Ten tournament semifinal game against Ohio State, coach John Tillman contemplated whether to play oft-injured faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa. After sustaining several vicious hits during the Terps’ 15-12 loss to Johns Hopkins last Saturday, Raffa lost his final four faceoffs before Tillman pulled him in the final period. So during the week, T illman weighed his options: Play the All-American with a berth in the tournament finals on the line or turn to reserves faceoff specialCoach John Tillman (left) and faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa (right) look on after the senior lost a faceoff ist Jon Garino Jr. and midfielder during the Terps’ 9-6 loss to Ohio State on Thursday in the Big Ten semifinals. christian jenkins/the diamondback Andrew Walsh.

Raffa began the game on the sideline. But as Ohio State gained steam with a late flurry Thursday, the senior trotted out to the X with less 12 minutes remaining in the game. Raffa went 0-for-3, failing to ignite a Terps comeback in their 9-6 loss. “When he’s really good, we are a different team,” Tillman said. “You kind of have to factor in, ‘Do you get today but lose tomorrow?’ You also have to worry about the well being of a young guy who you saw last year is willing to run through a brick wall and crawl off the field.” Walsh and Garino were no match for Buckeyes faceoff specialist Christopher May, who ranks 10th in the nation with a .613 faceoff percentage. May went 11-for-17 and forced the Terps’ top-ranked defense to defend for significant portions of the game. Ohio State

outshot the Terps, 27-22, and eventually turned the increased possessions into a lead. Garino has served as Raffa’s primary backup in each of the past two seasons. The sophomore has seen increased playing time this year, though, with Raffa often relegated to the sideline. Walsh, meanwhile, has a .405 faceoff percentage. Saturday, the duo was overmatched. At one point, Tillman turned to midfielder Bobby Gribbin, who was unsuccessful at his only battle at the X. “We tried to do some different things on the wings. But again, give Ohio State credit,” Tillman said. “I thought May did a great job. [Their] wings were good. We just had to find out how we could get possessions in other ways.” See RAFFA, Page 7
