System votes for tuition increases 5 percent hike, increases for business, engineering, computer science students go into effect next year By Talia Richman @talirichman Senior staff writer The University System of Maryland Board of Regents voted yesterday to increase tuition systemwide by up to 5 percent and gradually raise

tuition for engineering, business and computer science upperclassmen at this university. The f irst measure passed 9-3, while the second passed 10-2. Both measures will go into effect at this university for the next academic year, raising in-state tuition

by $388 and out-of-state tuition by $1,395 for full-time undergraduates. Current sophomores and juniors enrolled in the majors selected for differential pricing will see an additional $700 added to their bills as they go into their junior and senior years, respectively. “Most students have an expectation that they’re going to be paying ‘X’ amount of money to attend this college,” student regent Raaheela

Ahmed, who voted against both measures, said of the new tuition structure. “Current students did not expect and are not prepared financially or mentally for this increase.” The tuition hikes come after a 2 percent midyear tuition increase this past semester. Tuition has increased 3 percent annually See TUITION, Page 3

College Park residents meet to consider solar panel co-op Investors could make money back when co-op sells excess electricity By Jon Banister @J_Banister Senior staff writer College Park residents gathered at City Hall last night to consider an initiative to have residents co-invest in solar panels in an effort to reduce the city’s carbon footprint. With the initiative for a solar cooperative, city residents would pay for the installation of solar panels on a community building. The clean energy produced by the solar panels would reduce the need to purchase electricity from the local utility provider. Those who invest in the solar panels could make their money back when the co-op sells excess electricity back to the grid.

“This is something that is necessary for all cities going forward,” said Eric Marshall-Main, a senior communication major who attended the meeting. “This is an example of how building renewable power can be profitable for the people who invest money in it that are not Pepco, but are individuals who make it work.” In 2010, residents of University Park formed a private solar company to install 99 solar panels on the roof of a local church. The 35 residents who invested each put down an average of $4,000 for the $130,000 project. They also received a $40,000 federal grant. As of May 1, these solar panels have generated 129,624 kilowatt hours of energy. By the end of 2013, the panels had sold enough energy back to Pepco to return 50 percent of the members’ investments. The group projects its investors will break even by 2017 and make a 7 to 8 percent return on their investment after the 20-year contract expires.

The University Senate voted a g a i n st opp o s i n g t he s a le of a lcohol at on-campus athlet ic events yesterday. The f inal tally on opposition was 42- 62, with two abstentions. However, this does not mean the senate formally supports the proposal. This proposal is a response to the University Athletic Council’s recommendation to expand alcohol sales at athletic events to the general public. Under the recommendation, people 21 or older could buy beer and wine at games. On March 24, the council voted 16-1 in favor of recommending the change to university President Wallace Loh. Steven Hurtt, a senator and architecture professor, originally asked the senate to vote against the proposal at an April 23 senate meeting. The meeting adjourned before a vote could happen, and the discussion continued yesterday. Sasho Cirovski, Terrapins men’s soccer coach and Athletic Council coach representative, argued in favor of the policy, saying it would give this university the opportunity to lead the discussion on alcohol.

event came up last semester after his chapter was “bombarded” with news stories about sexual assault within fraternities. He said that while he received criticism from people saying the sit-in “isn’t really going to change anything,” he hopes the event helps combat problems with the culture and negative stereotypes associated with the Greek community. “This is really going to take a change in the culture, and by holding events like this,” he said, “I don’t know if that will change anything, but it’s taking a step in the right direction.” Kish said that while sexual assault awareness should be taught as ea rly as m iddle school, college culture fosters an environment that accepts sexual assault. “I hate to say that, but it’s true,” she said. But Kish said there is “a lot of momentum” behind combating sexual assault on college campuses, providing many opportunities to change the environment. “The responsibility lies on all of us,” Kish said. “It’s on survivors. It’s on college students. It’s on Greek life. It’s on professors. … It’s on the entire community, and it’s especially on the administrators of the university to deal with these cases correctly.”

McGrath called the sit-in “a genuine fi rst step” toward progress. “You can’t do any thing before you sit down and talk about it,” McGrath said. “No, this isn’t going to solve every problem the Greek community has in 12 hours. That’s not our goal. Our goal is to get people talking about it and to show the community that this is something we care about, this is something we recognize is a problem, and this is something that we are going to change.” Josh Bronson, special inve s t i gator a nd a ssi s t a nt director with the Office of Civil Rights & Sexual Misconduct, said he was glad to see many men attending an event devoted to what many people see as a women’s issue.

“So often, men don’t feel l i k e i t’s s o m e t h i n g t h a t impacts them, and it certainly is,” Bronson said. “It can impact anybody.” Emmett Nelson, a member of the university’s Phi Delta Theta fraternity chapter, said educating students about indicators of sexual assault could help combat the crime on the campus. “This is a place where we should all feel comfortable. T his is ou r home and our com mu n ity,” t he sophomore business student said. “I don’t think anyone should ever be in a position where they’re afraid to go out or afraid to go to a party.

Representatives from organizations, including RAINN and CARE to Stop Violence, also discussed resources available to prevent sexual violence and help survivors.

poised to join our brothers and sisters in University Park in being leaders of municipalities in building a solar movement in Maryland,” Fellows said. Since 2010, the price of solar panels has gone down significantly, and a similar project in this city could cost roughly half as much, said event organizer Eric Olson, the College Park City-University Partnership executive director. “This may be the time i f p e ople a re t h i n k i n g about doing solar, talk to your closest friends and neighbors,” Olson said. “They’ve really blazed a path for us locally if people are interested in pursuing this option.” Olson said the partnership doesn’t plan to lead the effort but would facilitate further meetings if community members show interest in the initiative. Annie Rice, a sophomore env i ron menta l science and policy major, said the meeting motivated her to get more involved. “It’s totally feasible for College Park,” Rice said. “We’re bigger and we also

U officials fight bugs to protect ash trees By Jeremy Snow @JeremyM_Snow Senior staff writer An ash tree near Wicomico Hall is the largest of its species in the county — and university Arboretum and Botanical Garden officials want to make sure it stays healthy. Later this month, they will use insecticide to preventatively treat ash trees around the campus to protect them from the emerald ash borer, a shiny green beetle about half an inch long. While officials will be on the lookout for several different harmful insects, the emera ld a sh borer i s one of their biggest concerns, as Prince George’s County has been a hotspot for the bu g si nce a nu rser y sold infested trees in 2003, said Karen Petroff, arboretum and horticultural services assistant director. “Given the presence and the proximity, it would be foolish to state that there is no emerald ash borer living on campus,” she said. “We are completely surrounded by the … infestation.” The arboretum will treat at least si x ash trees near dorms as well as others in front of the Clarice Smith P e r fo r m i n g A r t s C e n te r and near Memorial Chapel. Some ash trees also circle t h e c a m p u s i n t h e m o re wooded areas, but those will not receive treatment. The beetles only consume ash t rees, Pet rof f sa id. Last yea r, the a rboretu m

Dining Services does not list all nutritional information Students complain about high-sodium meals, lack of disclosure of health facts By Jessica Campisi @jessiecampisi Staff writer An ASH TREE outside Wicomico Hall is susceptible to insect infestation. University Arboretum and Botanical Garden officials plan to protect such campus trees. tom hausman/the diamondback removed six trees because of suspected borer damage, she said. The emerald ash borer is responsible for destroying millions of ash trees in the Midwest and local areas such as Baltimore, Petroff said. College Park has not seen an official infestation yet, though the bug is common just 15 to 20 miles away, entomology professor Michael Raupp said. R aupp sa id he pred icts the bug will be introduced to College Park in about a decade, as the bugs spread about a mile a year. “I don’t think it’s a matter of if; it’s a matter of when,” he said. “It’s a matter of how long it takes to get up here. T h is th i ng is l i ke a g ia nt tsunami rolling across the country.” To prevent a potential infestation, the arboretum will use TREE-äge, a chemical that is injected into the tree’s trunk to repel the insects. With injection treatments, the chemical does not get in the air and cannot get on people who touch the tree, Petroff said.

Entomology professor chemicals move up and down the trunk and enter the leaves. “Injections have been successful before and are one of the options we usually suggest to deal with special ash trees,” Rice said. The date of the treatment is not finalized, but should occur in mid-May, Petroff said. Officials are currently looking into which trees need treatment and comparing the costs of replacing the trees versus treating them. Learning how to deal with the “big, bad beetles” might become part of the routine for saving trees, Raupp said, but could still cause great environmental impacts. An infestation resulting in tree loss could have a negative environmental impact, he said. Ash trees across the campus remove pollutants, reduce greenhouse gases and provide shade, he said. “Can you imagine what a desert our campus would be if we didn’t have these trees?” he asked. jsnowdbk@gmail.com

are more likely to drink when more alcohol is available. “ Not a l low i n g a lc ohol sales in the stadium will help send a message that the priority at College Park is not about alcohol and partying,” Arria said, “but to engage in activities that maximize student potential.” The heated debate caused Willie Brown, in his first meeting as senate chairman, to ask people to keep their statements brief and to prevent people who previously spoke

on the issue at the last meeting from speaking again. Brown did not allow Ian Moritz, an undergraduate representative on the Athletic Council, to talk after Moritz sa id he wa nted to respond to a point someone else brought up. “Parliamentary procedure went out the door today,” Moritz said after the meeting. “T hey cut off people that wanted to speak and looked at, in a matter of one hour, an issue that the Athletic Council

analyzed for a year.” Brow n also interrupted Student Government Association President Patrick Ronk after he said the goal of the Athletic Council’s recommendation was to “normalize social drinking on campus” and create a safe environment for students to drink at sporting events without binge drinking. Ron k sa id not a llow ing Moritz the chance to share his viewpoint at the meeting prevented an important opinion

partially why the proposal angered many on the campus, said sophomore Robert Kornfeld, who started a change.org petition against the selective tuition increase that garnered more than 1,100 signatures by the time the meeting began. “It feel s l i ke it i s ver y sudden and we had no say over it, and if they want to attract the best and brightest, then they’re going to have to be competitive, and this is a deterrent,” the materials science and engineering major said. Ahmed said 89 percent of the 126 students who filled out her Google form survey about the proposal opposed it, a figure she shared with the board. Many students said it was unfair to charge students more money to pursue what they’re passionate about. For freshman marketing major Ashley Mistretta, the tuition increase means she must take out loans and can no longer anticipate graduating without debt. “It would’ve been nice to come in knowing that,” she said. “The price was one of the big reasons I chose to come to Maryland.” The university cited the higher price of instruction for those fields — business and engineering courses cost 25 percent more on average

than other university courses, according to the proposal — as one reason the differential pricing structure was needed. “They cost much more to teach, so in effect, other programs are subsidizing them, and I think that’s wrong,” university President Wallace Loh said. Graduates of these majors also see higher job placement and starting salaries, the proposal states, with 85 percent of business, engineering and computer science students either graduating with a job or pursuing a graduate degree, compared with 70 percent of other majors. The median starting salary for majors subject to differential pricing is about $60,000, while other majors have a median starting salary of $35,000. Before yesterday’s vote, this university was the only Big Ten state flagship school n o t u s i n g a d i f fe re n t i a l pricing model, according to the proposal. “[T his] will allow us to maintain the quality of a flagship education,” Loh said. “It is very important that this model is only done at major f lagship universities; the reason is because the quality of a flagship education is so much higher and the quality of the students they attract is

so much higher.” But Daniel Moscatiello, a sophomore finance major, said he doesn’t find keeping up with the Big Ten a valid reason to increase tuition. He said this structure might deter students who don’t want to feel punished for pursuing a degree they’re interested in from attending this university. The university’s proposal notes that a survey of most Big Ten schools showed differential pricing had no negative impact on enrollment. Loh said this university’s plan differs from other Big Ten schools in that it will only affect juniors and seniors, as underclassmen often change majors, and will be phased in gradually. Current juniors will pay an additional $700 in tuition senior year, current sophomores will pay $700 more their junior year and $1,400 more their senior year, and current freshmen will see a $1,400 tuition increase junior year and a $2,800 increase senior year, according to the university proposal. Future students enrolled in these majors will see $2,800 tuition increases their junior and senior years. The university will hire 23 new faculty members using 65 percent of the revenue

from being heard, especially as this was the senate’s transition meeting, which was many senators’ first. Brown said the chairman has power to recognize speakers, and he determined the positions that Ronk and Moritz were representing had already been expressed. “Ultimately, it was our goal to allow this resolution to come to a vote following an open debate,” Brown wrote in an email. Ronk said he did not believe

the senate had time to thoroughly discuss the question before taking action, the fundamental right of Robert’s Rules of Order, which govern meetings, according to the senate’s bylaws. “It was rea l ly rushed,” Ronk said. “The senate made the right choice, but I think it would have been even more in SGA’s favor if people had more time to consider all the facts and research.” adunndbk@gmail.com

Get women on 20s Expected decisions, poorly timed MAGGIE STAFF EDITORIAL

If this university still needed a reminder of the sea change in Annapolis that’s taken place over the past two years, it got one — no, two — in a big way yesterday. The University System of Maryland Board of Regents voted to raise tuition systemwide by up to 5 percent, a jarring shift from the reliable 3 percent increases system institutions had seen since 2011, which followed a four-year tuition freeze. The board also ruled in favor of a differential tuition phase-in for students enrolled in engineering, business and computer science majors at this university, to take place over the next four years and eventually raise tuition for students in these majors by a projected 15 percent. Both moves, though thrust upon students in uncomfortably sudden fashion, haven’t really arrived without warning. State officials had debated the merits of the tuition freeze and 3 percent cap for years, and the 2 percent midyear tuition hike announced in January prefigured the accelerated tuition growth students will see next year. Considering the rollback of state funding the system faced this year — $40.3 million in cuts, of which this university picked up $15.6 million — and the financial wrangling to close an estimated $750 million deficit that figured into Gov. Larry Hogan’s budget for next fiscal year, it’s hardly surprising that the system is scrambling to secure more revenue. The differentiated tuition model, which the university announced just two days before the Board of Regents vote, mirrors similar programs at the rest of the Big Ten’s state flagship schools. Next year, juniors and

seniors enrolled in the engineering, business and computer science fields will pay an additional $700 in tuition, while next year’s freshmen enrolled in these majors will eventually pay an additional $5,600. To the class of 2015: It looks as though you picked the right year to graduate. To the incoming class of 2019: Welcome to this university’s new bottom line. OUR VIEW

The Board of Regents’ recent financial decisions weren’t wholly unexpected, but the lack of transparency is upsetting. Before students bemoan Hogan’s buck-stops-here attitude, though, it’s worth noting that former Gov. Martin O’Malley (who championed the tuition freeze and subsequent yearly cap), not Hogan, unveiled the university system cuts this academic year. Between the 2008-09 and 2013-14 academic years, this state’s tuition and fee increases for in-state students at public four-year universities ranked the second-lowest in the nation, the College Board reported. During that time, state lawmakers touted their commitment to keeping higher education affordable, and rightly so — while other states did little to combat the skyrocketing cost of a college degree, this state laser-focused its efforts on increasing education spending year after year. All the same, though, the cuts O’Malley instituted in the waning days of his administration indicate

that model was unsustainable. The former governor might have made a late-game stride toward curtailing spending creep, but after the state kicked the can down the road for two terms, it proved too little, too late. The message the state has sent to students isn’t unreasonable, but there’s no mistaking its tone: Want to maintain and grow the top-ranked programs you’ve enrolled in? Great, but you’ll need more skin in the game. For students studying engineering, business or computer science, that demanded buy-in is even greater, though not without cause. Students in these fields simply cost more to educate, what with the six-figure salaries required to attract top-flight professors for these majors and the boosted cost of labs and equipment. Though all students currently pay the same flat tuition rate, it’s understandable that the university would ask these majors to incur the increased costs, especially because the added revenue would funnel exclusively back into their programs. What isn’t understandable — and where students should demand an administrative response — is why the university would wait until Monday, two days before the Board of Regents vote, to announce the differential tuition proposal to students. What’s more, the announcement came three days after the deadline for incoming freshmen to enroll. While those enrolled at this university should strap in for a rough financial ride in coming years, officials owe it to students to let them know what’s in store, especially when it comes to tuition and fees. This time, administrators failed in spectacular fashion.

CASSIDY JUNIOR

To get ready for my study a b ro a d t r i p to E u ro p e t h i s summer, I’ve already acquired the necessary currencies for my travels to the United Kingdom and other countries in the European Union that I might visit wh e n I ’m a c ross t h e p o n d . Obviously, the British pound and U.S. dollar differ, mainly in strength. But as I organized my pounds and euros after my trip to the bank, I realized European currencies have us beat — not because both the euro and pound are stronger than the dollar, but because the currencies feature both men and women, while we still have men of questionable character smiling on our paper bills. Thankfully, a campaign to rectify this country’s maledominated currency has been gaining traction. The campaign, called “Women on 20s,” aims to change the course of the country’s history by convincing President Obama and the Senate that a woman’s face should replace President Andrew Jackson’s on the $20 bill. The campaign hopes to have this completed by the year 2020 — the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. The Senate has been charged with considering the campaign’s goal after Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D -New Hampsh ire) intro duced legislation that would mandate the Treasury Department discuss the idea of featuring women on paper money. According to The Washington Post, more than 480,000 people voted for the women they would most like to see on the $20 bill. The finalists include Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Wilma Mankiller (the first female chief of the

Cherokee Nation). While 480,000 people is nowhere near a majority of the U.S. population, the number still shows there is a solid foundation of support that could finally make representation on U.S. currency an equal playing field. The Treasury last made sweeping changes to the images on paper money in 1928, when Jackson replaced President Grover Cleveland as the face on the $20 bill. Now, 87 years later, it’s time for the Treasury to shake things up again. In the 21st century, with society fighting to establish equal rights for men and women, it only makes sense that a woman’s portrait be featured on the $20 bill. There are also at least 10 other nations that have beaten this country to having female portraits on paper currency, which, quite frankly, should be embarrassing to our nation. For example, Syria, which is experiencing the wrath of a civil war and the violent uprising of ISIS, has the image of Syrian Queen Zenobia on its 500pound note. Zenobia is revered for fighting against Rome in the third century. And of course, England has featured Queen Elizabeth II’s image on the front of every paper note since 1960. The Brits continue to make their currency egalitarian by cycling through numerous women on their notes throughout the years, including Florence Nightingale and Elizabeth Fry. Even better, the next 10-pound note will feature acclaimed author Jane Austen. If the $20 bill can’t become fiscally stronger and trump other c o u n t r i e s ’ c u r re n c i e s i n t h e economy, then the Treasury can at least up the ante by finally putting a woman on it. By doing this, the U.S. would be one step closer to achieving equal rights and representation for men and women. Maggie Cassidy, former opinion editor, is a junior English major.

This is what democracy looks like in Baltimore CHARLIE BULMAN JUNIOR

Last Friday, I had the privilege of joining protesters in Baltimore on their mission to win accountability for police brutality and institutional racism. Residents welcomed “outside agitators,” in the parlance of state Gov. Larry Hogan, and graciously allowed them to share in the city’s celebration and anger. Celebration at the decision, announced Friday morning, to charge the six officers involved in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who suffered fatal injuries while in police custody April 12. Anger at the long list of police v i c t i m s, m a ny o f t h e m yo u n g African-American men, makes Freddie Gray a symbol of a pattern rather than an anomaly. Although it’s impossible to draw sweeping

conclusions, just a few hours in Baltimore can dispel some of the worst rumors circulating about the demonstrations. Protesters engaged by network TV anchors are often barraged with loaded questions that link the ongoing protests to the riots that briefly flared up in Baltimore on April 27. This coverage mischaracterizes the great mass of peaceful protesters, erases demonstrators’ legitimate grievances and places the protests outside of respectable politics. Even sympathetic renderings of Monday’s riots as an outlet for understandable anger overshadow the political savvy of many demonstrators. Regardless of what is being said in the press and on social media, protesters were well-versed in the ins and outs of the judicial process. Many signs read “Thank You Mosby,” a nod to Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby,

who was elected on a platform of police accountability and shocked some residents with her decision to charge all six officers involved in Gray’s death. Rallies on Friday praised Mosby but emphasized the difficulty of securing convictions against officers and the need to scrutinize officials at every stage of the process. Moreover, the demonstrations were directly tied to tangible political gains. As The Baltimore Sun reported, community organizers seized on the mobilizations to register citizens to vote and encourage greater political participation. By working to elect officials who are tough on police misconduct, closely monitoring developments and applying constant pressure on city authorities, protesters in Baltimore are building a culture of accountability. Perhaps the most pernicious lie surrounding the “unrest” in

Baltimore is that it has nothing to do with us. This narrative is reinforced by media coverage that highlights the April 27 mayhem and dehumanizes protesters in Baltimore. Nevertheless, on Friday, one unforgettable sign reminded onlookers that “Violence Is Apathy.” Since 2011, Baltimore has shelled out $5.7 million to victims of police brutality and civil rights violations. Freddie Gray joined Walter Scott, Jonathan Ferrell, John Crawford and Tamir Rice in the shamefully long catalog of black men and boys killed by the police. These injustices are compounded by racial disproportionalities present in nearly every facet of the criminal justice system. In a country and state with welldocumented patterns of police brutality and empirically verifiable institutional racism, dismissing demonstrators’ demands for reform is tantamount to complicity. After

officers in Rialto, California, began using body cameras in February 2012, complaints against officers and use-of-force reports fell 88 and 60 percent, respectively, during the next 12 months, according to The New York Times. Although Hogan has signed bills exempting officers from restrictions on recording the public, this state must rapidly accelerate its introduction of cameras into police forces. Beyond that, other measures must be taken to ensure transparency in policing and bring more economic opportunity to Baltimore residents. Over the weekend, protesters repeatedly declared that “This Is What Democracy Looks Like.” They’re right. The mobilizations underway are an important step in bringing justice to Baltimore.

ESSAY | TV BREAKOUTS

STEALING THE SHOW From a woman in charge to a man alone, these are the five biggest breakout roles of 2015 so far

ari millen as mark rollins

taraji P. Henson as cookie lyon

will forte as phil miller

Ben mendelsohn as danny rayburn

By Dustin Levy @DustinBLevy Staff writer From network comedies to Netflix dramas, 2015 is off to a promising start for television. Many of the best shows have been aided by breakthrough performances by new or underrated actors. Some thespians just have a penchant for milking every second of their screen time and leaving viewers wanting more. With the spring television season coming to a close (as though that means anything anymore — thanks Netflix), let’s take a look at five breakout stars of 2015. Constance Wu Fresh Off the Boat Fresh Off the Boat, ABC’s new comedy about an Asian-American family, debuted this year as a solidly funny show. However, the performance of Wu (Sound

of My Voice) as the Huang family matriarch elevates the series to must-watch television. Starring as Jessica, Wu hits punchlines like a champion boxer and manages to make her character’s faults — such as her strict parenting and nononsense attitude — incredibly endearing. She also masterfully avoids tiger-mother stereotypes with occasional bouts of silliness, like her memorable performance of “I Will Always Love You” or her sidesplitting “pimp walk.” Thanks to Wu’s star-making turn, Fresh Off the Boat is sailing smoothly. Will Forte The Last Man on Earth It can’t be easy to be a Will on Saturday Night Live not named Ferrell. But Forte (MacGruber) always showed a knack for the absurd during his eight-year tenure on the renowned sketch series and later touted some

acting chops in Alexander Payne’s Nebraska. But Fox’s The Last Man on Earth, which Forte also created and wrote, gives Forte the opportunity to really dig deep. As Phil Miller, one of the last people on the planet after the apocalypse, Forte initially appears as an everyman, reaping the benefits of being all alone in the world. But it’s when Phil first comes in contact with others that the depths of his depravity are revealed. Forte goes full throttle in exposing the inner malevolence of his character, and his old habit at SNL of hammering at a joke well beyond cringeworthy territory has not disappeared. Whatever you think of The Last Man on Earth’s distinct first season, you have to admire Forte’s dedication in portraying a wholly odious pathological liar of a character.

Taraji P. Henson Empire You don’t have to watch Empire to know that Henson ( Hustle & Flow ) as Cookie Lyon, the ex-convict trying to win back her stake in a hip-hop record company, is the breakout star. Whether she’s rocking her finest furs, delivering micdropping one-liners or hurling her pair of Louboutins, Cookie leaves viewers breathless with every appearance. Henson is able to keep Cookie from becoming too obnoxious or forceful by bringing incredible heart to the role. But it’s Cookie’s attitude and quotability that put Empire on the pop-culture map in 2015. Ben Mendelsohn Bloodline Australian film actor Mendelsohn (The Dark Knight Rises) has established a long career dating back to the ’80s. But

his role as the enigmatic eldest brother Danny in Bloodline introduced him to an audience of Netflix-streaming millennials. In Bloodline, Danny stands out as the degenerate square peg of the Rayburn family, having been ostracized by his family at a young age for reasons initially unknown. Mendelsohn shows an astounding ability to make Danny both sympathetic and terrifying, as his motives remain in question throughout the series. But by far, the best aspect Mendelsohn brings to the role is the sheer unpredictability of Danny every time he’s onscreen. Bloodline would fall apart without the sheer creepiness of Danny, who makes his role on the series’ first season so essential. Ari Millen Orphan Black The only tougher acting job on television than portraying a

group of clones is taking on that task opposite Tatiana Maslany (Eastern Promises) on Orphan Black. Millen (Exit Humanity) was introduced last season as Mark, a mysterious religious extremist, but as the finale reveals, Mark was just one of a series of male clones brought into existence by the military experiment Project Castor. In limited action in Orphan Black’s third season, Millen has delivered as the posse of male clones, even with Maslany expertly rotating her merry band of lookalikes from scene to scene. The clone Rudy, in particular, brings a psychotic streak the show has yet to see. And with only a few of the Castor clones revealed so far, Millen likely has a lot more action in store, which should be thrilling to watch. dlevydbk@gmail.com

LASTING IMPACT|PANIC! AT THE DISCO’S A FEVER YOU CAN’T SWEAT

AN ALBUM YOU CAN’t WEAR OUT Revisiting the eclectic sounds of Panic! At The Disco’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out 10 years later By Zoë DiGiorgio @zozoembie Staff writer I am one of many young adults who just this year rediscovered the joys of Panic! At The Disco’s first album. After uncovering my old iPod Nano before going on vacation in January, I decided to revisit A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out for a silly, indulgent nostalgia trip. However, I was shocked to discover that I was genuinely enjoying each and every track despite the fact it has been 10 years since the band’s heyday. Perhaps the album has withstood the test of time because it was well ahead of its time, merging pop and rock with electronic dance in ways that attracted

listeners across the music spectrum. Though the album became a rock epic, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out was churned out in a few days by a couple of recent high school grads from Las Vegas. The band had been discovered by Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and recorded on the Fueled By Ramen imprint Decaydance, the label known for churning out the emo sounds that defined the Myspace generation. Still, despite the very real possibility that Panic! At The Disco could turn into another of the many ill-fated boy bands for scene kids, which have all but vanished as their audiences have grown up, their music managed to come across as polished rather than preco-

cious. They knew how to use the many musical tools at their disposal. Each piece used elements of a variety of genres and styles carefully and never to excess. While the track “Camisado” surges on pure electricity and energy, “I Constantly Thank God For Esteban” manages to shake it up with a bit of Spanish guitar that gives the piece a Latin flare without overpowering its thick dance beats. “But It’s Better If You Do” and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” are perhaps the two most well-known pieces on the album, and both are very simple pop-rock with a slight cabaret feel that provides the listener a sense of pleasurable naughtiness. The end result of this skillful mixing is an album

that is dynamic and interesting while still flowing seamlessly between tracks. Their songs spoke of the band’s lofty ambitions; though they were younger than most of the students at this university, the band made music that older musicians aren’t bold enough to write. Their music touched on themes many of their contemporaries avoided as they tried desperately to appeal to preteens. Panic! wasn’t afraid to call out the media that had yet to eviscerate them on “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage.” Questions of drug use and self-medicating for mental illness bubbled up in “Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks.” The songs were aware that

they were grappling with big ideas, but rather than flinching, their lyrics proclaimed loud, large imagery and a vocabulary that would make the band members’ SAT tutors proud. At the same time, the songs were brash, childish and self-indulgent in all the best ways. Their titles were full sentences, often borrowing quotes from literature or film. “Build God, Then We’ll Talk” was a social commentary narrative set to the tune of “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. “There’s a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought of It Yet” was a jazzy number that poked jabs at the artificiality of high society in a manner relatable to teens and

adults alike. “Time to Dance” is just a fun, energetic dance track that never fails to get my toes tapping or my head bobbing. There’s just so much to love from every song. They’ve been in and out of the spotlight in the 10 years since Fever was released, and today, Panic! At The Disco is a completely different band with a sound and a look almost completely removed from its earlier, circus-inspired aesthetic. Still, it’s always pleasing to know that no matter how old you are, you can pick up the first album, tune into “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” and shush along with the bad words just like you did when your mom was in the car. zdigiorgiodbk@gmail.com

carlson From PAGE 8 sessions to evolve into a player who frequently turns in highlight reel plays. Highly regarded by teammates and coaches for his intellect, Carlson prides himself on fitting the ball into tight angles. Carlson has notched 27 goals this season, which ranks second on the Terps. The No. 6-seed squad will lean on the attackman for production when it hosts Yale in the first round of the NCAA tournament Saturday afternoon at Byrd Stadium. “[Carlson has] the type of skill set that just doesn’t come around very often,” coach John Tillman said. “It’s almost every day there’s one goal he scores that I’m not sure anyone else on our team could score. It’s almost like an ESPN SportsCenter goal.” After a goal on March 30, 2013, Carlson landed at No. 2 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays. With about nine seconds remaining in the third quarter and the Terps holding a 7-4 lead over then-No. 15 Virginia, former midfielder Mike Chanenchuk zipped a pass to Carlson, who had his back to the cage. The feed sailed slightly high, though, forcing Carlson to leap into the air. In one motion, he whipped his stick around his neck while releasing the ball. Goalkeeper Rhody Heller didn’t stand a chance. “One of his old rec council coaches used to call him Gumby because he can kind of move his arm one way and his leg a different direction, or whatever the situation requires,” Chip Carlson said. From a young age, Jay Carlson realized he wasn’t “the most athletic or fastest person,” so he directed his focus toward improving his hand-eye coordination. Dan Gutberlet, a former Vermont attackman, played on Carlson’s middle-school team

and saw Carlson’s dedication first hand. Gutberlet’s family lived far away from St. Paul’s School, so Gutberlet would frequently sleep over at Carlson’s house during the week. After school, they’d practice together in the backyard. “[ Jay] actually had a bounce-back goal right next to his goal, so he could do all his weird behind-the-back passes,” Gutberlet said. “He spends time on these things. It’s not like he’s just kind of doing it. He spends time throwing his behind-thebacks. Throwing these little side-shuffle passes, shooting high, doing different variations within the behind-the-back.” Carlson also took pride in making diving catches on the baseball field. And he loved to bodysurf at the beach and hurl his body after loose balls on the basketball court. The thrill-seeking carried over to the family pool, too. Swimming laps didn’t suffice; Carlson needed to do tricks. Gutberlet and Carlson would alternate standing on the diving board while the other would throw passes that required a spin, flip or dive. “It was always something with him,” Gutberlet said. A lot of times it was juggling. Carlson said it was just for fun, but Gutberlet was astounded by Carlson’s coordination. And Carlson didn’t stop juggling when there wasn’t a lacrosse or tennis ball around. “Picking up like apples and fruits, and juggling with them. Weird s--- like that,” Gutberlet said. “Throwing a tennis ball up. Just one ball and doing weird tricks with it. It’s just the way he was. I don’t understand it.” O n t h e l a c rosse f i e l d , Carlson developed into a solid high-school player at St. Paul’s. He earned Under Armour High School AllAmerican honors in 2011 and was ranked the No. 11 fresh-

man attackman in the nation, according to Inside Lacrosse. He started one game as a Terps freshman in 2012, scoring 12 goals on 22 shots. During his sophomore year, he tied for third on the Terps with 20 goals on a team that included Chanenchuk and former attackman Owen Blye. After Carlson compiled a .500 shot percentage — a high mark among the offensive starters — last season, Chanenchuk’s departure opened up an opportunity for him in the attack area for 2015. Carlson, attackman Matt Rambo and midfielder Joe LoCascio have led a Terps offense that averages 10.33 goals per game (tied for second in the Big Ten). So after the Terps stormed back from a four-goal deficit with less than five minutes remaining to force overtime at Ohio State on April 18, Carlson wasn’t afraid to have the ball behind the cage. Moments earlier, LoCascio had ripped a shot that bounced off midfielder Colin Heacock. Carlson grabbed the ball in midair, whipped his stick around his back and launched a shot that trickled well wide of goal. “Knowing Jay like I do, I saw his body language, his reaction, and I knew that he was pretty irritated that he wasn’t able to put that one in,” Chip Carlson said. About 40 seconds later, Carlson wheeled around the cage, outmuscled his defender and converted the game-winner. Over the years, Carlson has developed a repertoire of nontraditional moves. But with the Terps’ then-10-game winning streak on the line, the senior went back to the basics. “Whether you’re sprawling, diving, just kind of shooting the ball with one hand or rocketing the ball from 20 yards away,” Chip Carlson said. “They all count the same.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

Tigers From PAGE 8 Center fielder LaMonte Wade, who was benched in a 6-2 loss Sunday for violating team rules, started and hit leadoff despite Szefc saying Wade was going to sit out again. “We hit a bump in the road on Sunday, and we got past it,” Szefc said. “We’re moving on with it. He’s one of our better players, and he’s been here for three years.” The move paid off. Wade went 2-for-4 with a walk, one of three Terps with multiple hits. “It means a lot to win this game two years in a row,” Wade said. “Shaffer started off with a good start. It felt good.” In his third straight midweek start, Shaffer gave up two runs in five innings on five hits and one walk. He recorded seven of the Terps’ 16 strikeouts. In Shaffer’s last three starts, he’s given up three runs in 16 innings and has appeared to

solidify himself as the Terps’ No. 4 starter. T h e T i ge rs ( 1 5 - 3 3 - 2 ) tallied four hits in the first two innings but three over the final seven. While they had two early one-run leads, the advantages were shortlived. The Terps (33-16) responded each time and took the lead with three runs in the second, all with two outs. “The first part of that game was pretty close,” Szefc said. “Our first four runs we scored with two outs. That’s a back-breaker for an opposing pitching staff.” Second baseman Brandon Lowe knocked in the goa h e a d t wo - R B I d o u b l e in the second as part of a 3-for-5 day. He also recorded two doubles, three RBIs and two runs. In the third, the Terps extended their lead to 5-2 when they scored a run without tallying a hit. Third baseman Jose Cuas drew a leadoff walk and came around to score on a steal, wild pitch and passed ball.

The Terps tacked on three more runs in the fourth. Catcher Kevin Martir hit a two-run homer off a building behind the left-field fence to cap the early scoring. Left fielder Tim Lewis, who entered the game with a .194 average, added to the Terps’ lead in the seventh with an RBI triple. He went 2-for-3 and drew a walk. “This week I worked on a couple things with my swing,” Lewis said. “I’ve been struggling the last couple weeks seeing the ball a little bit. Pretty much all my at-bats [today], I was aggressive in the zone and didn’t seem to chase anything.” While the Terps’ bats cooled off after the first four frames, they will hope for the early offensive firepower to carry over to the weekend series against Ohio State. “The bottom line is we still control what happens to us,” Szefc said. “That’s all you can ask for.” psuittsdbk@gmail.com

Terps top Towson for Cup Offense rebounds in midweek contest for 9-2 win over Tigers By Phillip Suitts @PhillipSuitts Staff writer

“It’s kind of boring catching it when it’s a perfect pass and shooting it,” Carlson said. “It was kind of more fun catching hard passes, handling it and shooting it.” Now a senior attackman on the Terrapins men’s lacrosse team, Carlson has used those backyard

ABERDEEN — The Terrapins baseball team ended a three-game losing streak with a resurgent offensive performance yesterday. This past weekend, the Terps scored four runs in the final two games and were swept by Indiana. But last night, coach John Szefc’s team jumped out to an early lead with eight runs in the first four innings and coasted to a 9-2 victory over Towson at Ripken Stadium. Right-hander Brian Shaffer delivered another solid midweek start, and the Terps captured their second straight Ripken Cup Championship. “We needed to score early and put two three-run innings up in the first four innings,” Szefc said. “That really got us going.” Nine of the Terps’ 10 hits came in the first four innings, and they scored three runs in the second and the fourth. The Terps lineup had a few surprises. Freshman shortstop Kevin Smith started at first base due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Szefc said Smith will likely return to his regular position Friday.

TRICK-SHOT Specialist Carlson’s knack for unique goals early in his career has translated to success with Terps

By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Senior staff writer Chip Carlson knows how to throw a lacrosse pass properly. He was a member of the Johns Hopkins “B” team in the 1970s and has played in the Lutherville-Timonium

Recreation Council’s Men’s GrandMasters league as an adult. But his passes were hardly ever accurate when he played catch in the backyard of his Cockeysville home with his son, Jay Carlson. Jay had to dive for some passes. Others required acrobatic, bodytwisting efforts to corral. And that’s exactly how the young boy liked it.
