Sulaimon’s addition is the latest high-profile move the Terps have made this offseason, and many pundits have labeled the team a national-title contender. But some university students already have expressed concerns about Sulaimon, citing a report from the Duke student newspaper, The Chronicle, which detailed two sexual assault allegations against

the former five-star recruit. No criminal charges have been filed against Sulaimon, and Duke’s investigation into the allegations found a lack of substantial evidence. Terps head coach Mark Turgeon said this university put together its own investigation into the allegations before offering Rasheed Sulaimon celebrates during Sulaimon a roster spot. a Terps loss to Duke on Jan. 26, 2013.

12 students, alumni earn study grants U Fulbright scholars mark 72 in 5 years BY CARLY KEMPLER @CarlyKempler Staff writer

The Fulbright Program awarded 12 university students and recent graduates Fulbright grants for the 2015-16 academic year to conduct research, study or teach abroad, as well as immerse themselves in an international community, said Leslie Brice, this university’s National Scholarships Office coordinator. The recipients — who include five seniors, two graduate students and five recent alumnae — will be traveling to nine different countries to either explore educational developments in their respective fields or teach English at schools and universities, according to a university news release. The Fulbright grant program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program and is open to undergraduate seniors, graduate students and recent alumni, according to the news release. The program awards about 8,000 grants each year, with about 1,600 going to U.S. students. “Generally, [the students who apply] have shown an interest in international work and would benefit from that kind of cross-cultural engagement,” said

Gov. Hogan will sign bill allowing body cameras BY JON BANISTER @J_Banister Senior staff writer

Gov. Larry Hogan will sign a number of bills into law this morning focusing on improving the state’s law enforcement practices, business climate and college access. The bill signing had been scheduled for April 28, but after the riots in Baltimore,

see FULBRIGHT, page 2

Hogan spent most of the past two weeks meeting with community groups in the city and waiting for the situation to cool before returning to his normal schedule. The two-part bill signing will take place Tuesday at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., according to a news release. Hogan will sign a number of bills aimed at improving law enforcement practices, a contentious topic following the death of Freddie Gray and the ensuing unrest in Baltimore. To improve police accountability, Hogan will sign a bill to allow police departments across the state to use body cameras. The

practice had come into question because recording audio of someone without their permission is against state law, but this bill creates an exemption for body cameras, allowing officers to intercept oral communication. Sarah Love, spokeswoman for this state’s American Civil Liberties Union, said the ACLU is “disappointed” in the bill, because it doesn’t require police to notify people that they are being recorded. “One of the reasons people want body see BILLS, page 2

Freshman year, sophomore economics major Nazar Bedi and her friends played a game called Lowellingo, a combination of bingo and Lowell Ensel’s quirks — everything from shouting “Kobe” before he shot anything into the trash can to his classic dance moves and listening to the same Kanye West songs. “Lowell is one of a kind in so many ways,” Bedi said last night at a memorial for Ensel, a sopho-

Ensel was aboard a Shuttle-UM bus on Campus Drive at about 1:49 p.m. when University Police received a report of a student who needed medical attention, according to University Police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas. Prince George’s County Fire/ EMS units responded to the scene at 1:55 p.m. to find Ensel in critical condition and having trouble breathing, said Mark Brady, chief spokesman for the county Fire/ EMS department. Paramedics started performing CPR on Ensel upon arriving at the scene and continued for 25 to 30

Two teams from this university are helping NASA in a search for habitable planets outside the solar system. NASA selected groups from 10 universities and two research institutions to take part in the Nexus for Exoplanet System Science initiative to look for planets that could support life outside the solar system, according to the agency’s website. “NASA has taken a number of

different proposals and put them together to make this institute,” said astronomy professor L. Drake Deming, who is leading one of the research projects at this university. “We proposed an idea about the atmospheres of extrasolar planets.” Deming is working with two graduate students who are studying astronomy, Ashlee Wilkins and Holly Sheets, to gather data about these exoplanets — planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. They are analyzing Kepler space observatory data to extract information that could provide a framework for how planets and other stars interact. see NASA, page 3

But they can only do that if they know they are being recorded.” A nother bill aimed at curbing racial profiling requires police officers to record certain information about traffic stops, including the race of the individual.

T he of f ice w i l l h ave to subm it a n nua l repor ts to the General Assembly, so the legislature can have a better sense of the circumstances and patterns surrounding police-related deaths. “These bills directly address public safety and community relations issues, including the day-to-day operations of our law enforcement officials,” Hogan said in a news release. “Ensuring the safety of our citizens will always be a priority of our administration, and I am proud to sign these bills into law.” The new laws will introduce a g ra nt prog ra m for low-income people looking to attend college, create a framework for ride-sharing apps in the state and improve police accountability. Hogan will sign the “Uber bill” to create a permanent framework for ride-sharing

apps in the state. The bill had initially drawn harsh criticism from taxicab companies as well as the Public Service Commission for its lack of state oversight of drivers. After several rounds of negotiations, bill sponsor Sen. Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City) amended the legislation to add more regulations for ridesharing companies while still creating a lasting way for them to operate in the state. The bill creates a new regulatory classification for transportation network companies like Uber and requires drivers to obtain licenses with the Public Service Commission. All parties involved supported the final version, which was pushed through several procedural hurdles on the final day of the legislative session. “This decision marks a huge win for riders and drivers across the state who now have permanent access to safe, reliable rides and the jobs they create,” U ber spokesman

Taylor Bennet said. To help low-income residents attend college, Hogan will sign Del. Alonzo Washington’s (D-Prince George’s) bill to create a state grant program for nonprofits that provide scholarships and guidance to high school students looking to continue their education. The bill creates a two-year pilot program, and while no funding was appropriated in the fiscal 2016 budget, Washington is confident Hogan w i l l p rov id e s i g n i f ic a nt funding next year and make the program permanent after seeing its success. “It’s a very tight budget this year,” Washington said. “We wanted to make sure he had the opportunity to at least establish the program first and add funding in later years. In the interim, I’m going to do a lot of advocacy to ensure that there is funding in the governor’s next budget for the program.”

ucation and Spanish culture.” The scholarships office works with applicants starting in late spring or early summer in order to meet this university’s deadline in early September, Brice said. She added those doing the study-research track must meet with a faculty committee for feedback on their proposal. Afterward, the office submits the students’ proposals to their prospective host countries in mid-October, at which point the decision is up to officials in those countries. “A good application takes effort and passion,” said Francis DuVinage, the scholarships office director, who assists undergraduates during the application process. “[Students] have to be willing to work hard and to care, and then they can be very competitive.” In the past six years, this

university’s scholarships office worked extensively to promote the Fulbright program, Brice said. In the past five years, the program has awarded Fulbright grants to 72 students and alumni from this university, according to the news release. Multiple students applied for this year’s grant, including Adam Lax, a second-year graduate student studying international education policy. Lax is furthering his university studies in China and will be teaching English and researching the language’s importance for young children in a local Chinese community. “I taught English in China for three years before I entered into the international education policy program,” he said. “While teaching there I was really exposed to how important it is to learn English in China.

I wanted to explore that more in-depth through the Fulbright research grant.” Lax said he is also excited to meet other Chinese scholars who are interested in his work and to improve and further immerse himself in the Chinese language and culture. Another Fulbright recipient, Emily Cheung, said she is also eager to further her Chinese language skills through working with students in Taiwan. “I’m interested in how learning a second language is different, especially in children,” the senior Chinese and psychology major said. “[I will be] applying everything I’ve learned at Maryland to real-world scenarios, where I’m actually speaking the language and immersed in the culture while interacting with students.”

Lowell convinced him to give it a chance, and it’s been his best experience at Maryland,” said Pike, whose brother is now in Beta Theta Pi as well. Honors Humanities Director Gregory Staley was Ensel’s adviser for the program’s keystone project — a two-year project for which Ensel chose to make a video depicting a typical college night among a group of friends. Ensel just won the Honors Humanities Keystone Prize for his 45-minute film, Staley said. “To do what he did, to get eight to 10 students to act roles in a film that they worked on every Thursday night for months, was in itself a testimony to his gift for friendship, for making connections,” Staley said. “He lived his life with joy and energy.” Some of sen ior Natha n Brandli’s favorite memories with Ensel were singing or chatting in the bathroom of Anne Arundel Hall, where Ensel lived with other members of the Honors Humanities program. “We all have experienced his positivity and friendliness, and I’m going to miss him a lot,” said Brandli, an African-American studies and government and politics major who was Ensel’s resident advisor. “He’s exactly the type of person this world needs.”

upon arriving at the hospital, Brady said. Hoaas said University Police were notified at 2:51 p.m. that Ensel had died. About 200 attended last night’s memorial for Ensel, hosted by Ensel’s fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, at the fountain on McKeldin Mall. “The greatest thing about Lowell was his ideas,” said Connor Stapleton, a senior supply chain management major in his fraternity and also a Maryland Images campus tour guide with him. “That kid always had a spark.” In addition to being a fraternity member and Honors Humanities student, Ensel was most importantly a friend, said junior government and politics major Natalie Pike. “He was the kind of guy who was always looking out for other people,” Pike said. “He was the friendliest person; he was always surrounded by people.” In reaction to Ensel’s death, about 100 students a l so gat he re d i n A n ne Arundel Hall last night to grieve, while staff from the counseling center and the Department of Resident Life offered to help students cope with their loss.

MaryPIRG looks back on semester of advocacy Student group ran four main campaigns coordinator for the “Reclaiming Our Democracy” campaign, noted the group missed many opportunities to engage other student groups on the campus, however, and said he hopes to improve that for next semester. For the “Reclaiming Our Democracy” campaign, the group hosted a screening of the documentary Pay 2 Play on March 30, with 140 students in attendance. The movie focused on the Citizens United decision — which dealt with regulating organizations’ campaign spending — and U.S. Sens. John Sarbanes and Chris Van Hollen held a discussion after the showing. Members also gathered 1,265 signatures throughout the semester on a petition asking U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer to support overturning the Citizens United decision. “I’m encouraged to see students at the University of Maryland getting involved in this critical issue — it is vital that representatives hear from constituents of all ages about what matters to them,” Hoyer wrote in an email. Breyer Hillegas, this cam-

pus’s College Republicans president, said although he and his group fully support campaign finance reform, they chose not to cosponsor the Pay 2 Play event because it “seemed to target conservatives” by only hosting Democratic politicians and placed sole focus on Citizens United. Another MaryPIRG effort — “Antibiotic-Free Meat Campaign” — joined a national PIRG movement urging McDonald’s to stop overusing antibiotics to mass-produce poultry. As the movement heated up in mid-February, university students used social media to send out petitions asking the fast-food restaurant to adopt the policy change. McDonald’s agreed in early March to phase out antibiotics used in human medicine in its poultry over two years, said Sim Bastakoti, the campaign’s visual and grassroots coordinator and a freshman Spanish major. “People don’t rea l i ze there’s a problem unless it is overwhelming and it’s affecting them — and we don’t want people to realize this is a problem until they are already

[antibiotic]-resistant,” Bastakoti said. Like the democracy campaign, the “Clean Water for America” campaign also received responses from elected officials. In early February, members of the clean water campaign asked U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin to support an Environmental Protection Agency rule change that would strengthen the Clean Water Act. In mid-April, members also began calling for the American brewing company AnheuserBusch to support the rule change because many small beer companies were in support of it, said Morgan Folger, campaign coordinator for the “Clean Water for America” campaign. “Like McDonald’s and the antibiotic campaign, we thought it would be a turning point to have this huge company change their mind and come out in support of it,” the junior English and environmental science and technology major said. In MaryPIRG’s final major event of the semester, members of the “Hunger and Homelessness Campaign” held a “Sleepout For the Homeless”

that, because there are a lot of very cold places out there in the galaxy,” he said. “Another phenomenon that our team is looking at are ways in which such tidal heating may actually save Earth-sized planets from orbital chaos more often than previously expected.” While the initiative’s goal is to find more habitable planets, Deming’s team is centered on planets that have conditions that are not suitable for life to provide a framework for lifesustaining planets. “A habitable planet means the atmosphere has to be thick

By Josh Magness @josh_mag Staff writer When Luke Pinton looks at MaryPIRG today, he said he sees a much more efficient student advocacy group than what existed two years ago when he was president — a time constrained by the loss of the organization’s campaign organizer. “We [weren’t] doing much because our campaign was just trying to get our coordinator back,” said Pinton, the former Student Government Association governmental affairs director. “Now, it’s so much more effective from the get-go.” Throughout the semester, the group ran four campaigns: “Reclaiming Our Democracy” for campaign finance reform; “Clean Water for America” for environmental advocacy; “Alleviate Hunger & Homelessness” for raising awareness about the struggles of low-income people; and “Antibiotic-Free Meat Campaign” for opposing the overuse of antibiotics.

Compassion is a Beautiful Thing.

Choose Vegan

People who know chickens as friends know that chickens are not “all alike.” They know that, like all species with certain traits in common, chickens have individual personalities, distinctive identities, and unique ways of expressing themselves. Chickens enjoy being together in small flocks, sunning, dustbathing, and scratching in the soil for food. A mother hen will tenderly and even fiercely protect her young brood, driving off predators and sheltering her little chicks beneath her wings. The rooster proudly keeps watch over the flock. He alerts the hens if he senses danger, and when he finds a tasty morsel for his family to share, he calls them excitedly. Roosters often join in the hen’s egg-laying ritual, which is an extremely important and private part of a chicken’s life.

T urgeon and Terps assistant coach Dustin Clark, who followed his boss to College Pa rk f rom Tex as A & M i n 2011, have known Sulaimon a nd h i s fa m i ly si nce t he budding hoops star was in seventh grade. “T h is has been a rea l ly emotional time for me and my family,” Sulaimon said. “My nex t decision was 100 percent contingent on my trust, the trust factor between me and my future c o a c h . T h e re l a t i o n s h i p that I had with both Coach T urgeon and Coach Clark stems way back to seventh grade when I was 13. … This is where I felt comfortable.” That long-standing relationship convinced Turgeon to take a chance on Sulaimon, the first player Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski kicked off a team in his 35 years at Duke. Loh also met with Sulaimon, and he said Catherine Ca rrol l, th is u n iversity’s T it le I X coord i n ator, attended the meeting with the former Blue Devil. Carroll also helped conduct an investigation into Sulaimon’s actions at Duke. “What I do care is that we follow our values and our policies,” Loh said. “And I

believe we did that.” On the court, Sulaimon appears to fit well into the Terps rotation. At 6 feet, 4 inches, Sulaimon could sta r t nex t to A l l-Big Ten point guard Melo Trimble i n t he backcou r t or even slide into a stacked frontcou r t, wh ich a l ready i ncludes NBA hopefuls Jake Layman, Robert Carter Jr. and Diamond Stone. Sulaimon started 50 games during his first two seasons in Durham, North Carolina, but saw a dropoff in playing time and production i n h is ju n ior season. After averaging 11.6 points i n 29.2 minutes per game as a f resh ma n, Su la i mon averaged 7.5 points in 19.3 minutes per contest this past season. The downtick in contributions reportedly sparked confrontation between Krzyzewski and Sulaimon, which led to his dismissal from the eventual national champion Blue Devils. Sti l l, T u rgeon bel ieves Sulaimon will be productive in College Park. Sulaimon had one of his best career games against the Terps in January 2013, when he shot 6 of 8 on 3-p oi nters a nd scored 25 points as a freshman to lead the Blue Devils to an 84-64 win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “Person a l it y-w i se, we feel he fits in great with our team,” Turgeon said. “He has the same goals in mind as his teammates. As a player, he fits our team and what we were trying to add. He can play wing, play point, and he’s a very good defender. And with his experience, he brings some leadership.” Su la i mon took a v isit to College Park on Friday to meet with the staff and team. Turgeon said his team leaders gave “the thumbsup” to add Sulaimon after meeting with him in person, and the Houston native explained that his time on the

campus helped him choose the Terps. “T he ici n g on top, t he cherry on top that kind of s e a l e d t he d e a l , wa s my actual visit,” Sulaimon said. “The entire community was just amazing to me. From President Loh to Athletic Di rector Kev i n A nderson to the people I ran into on campus and all the way down to my teammates. They were family guys. They accepted me and embraced me.” S u l a i m o n s a i d h e u nderstands that students at this university and media members across the country will lean on the sexual assault allegations to criticize his character. He said he will simply try “to move forward with [his] life” and start anew under Turgeon. Three years ago, Turgeon drew mild criticism when he signed guard Dez Wells, then a sophomore who had been expelled from Xavier a fter sex ua l assau lt a l legations. Xavier and Wells later agreed to a settlement for an undisclosed amount over his expulsion. Wells stayed out of trouble during his three years in College Pa rk, ea rned A l l-Big Ten honors as a senior this past year and was never charged with a crime.

STAFF EDITORIAL

n eight days, final exams will finish and many students will pack their bags and head to their summer jobs, internships or vacation destinations. It’s an exciting change of pace for most, and this editorial board would like to officially encourage everyone to enjoy the break. But on a more serious note, we are concerned for the members of our community for whom summer means bearing the burden of substance abuse, depression or other mental health issues while away from friends and supporters at this university. The shift to summer can be stressful for anyone, and many members of our community are already struggling to improve their health. Last week, The Diamondback ran a story titled “Maryland’s Hidden Epidemic,” which explored the rising toll of heroin use in this state through the lens of an undergraduate student’s experience with the drug. In 2013, more state residents died from the addictive painkiller than from homicide; many who overdose on heroin have had several close calls in the past but cannot break away from dependency. The threat is local; while Baltimore City saw more heroin-related deaths than any county in the state

NATE RABNER

in 2013, 25 users died in this county, an increase from 20 in 2012. Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration and the state legislature both have taken action to try to help heroin users on the road to recovery and prevent more people from succumbing to the deadly drug. But ponderous state-level efforts cannot help everyone, and they will take time to ramp up. OUR VIEW

Addiction and other mental health issues are a serious concern, and our community needs to look out for one another. Communities must do their part as well, and at this university, that means students need to look out for their friends — whether they’re together on the campus or away for the summer. So please, make the effort to stay in touch with your friends this summer — especially with regard to addiction or any other personal issues. These struggles can be difficult for people to share or even acknowledge, but having a respectful,

supportive listener could really help someone face his or her challenges and take stock of the situation. And for students trying to quit heroin or any other drug: The semester might be winding down, but it’s never a bad time to look for assistance. The University Health Center’s Substance Use Intervention and Treatment Unit offers confidential, nonjudgmental visits and programs that could help you. There’s also a list of resources on the SUIT website. If you’re already trying to overcome an addiction, then you probably are more familiar with the available resources than this editorial board is. We won’t try to tell you about things you know better than we do. But from our reporting on support systems available at this university, we know that even if the campus’ mental health services are overburdened by such a large student population, they offer a safety net that students certainly should take advantage of while they’re here. College is the time to develop a healthy adult lifestyle, and there are many professionals at this university who work with students to prepare them for life after graduation. We Terps are a community, and we need to look out for one another — even if we’re far apart.

Dining Services owes students more PATRICK AN

JUNIOR

ining Services at this university controls nearly all food services on the campus. For the thousands of students who are required to have a dining plan or choose to have one because cooking does not fit into their schedules, Dining Services controls what they eat. Although eating healthy is not always at the forefront of our minds, it is still a necessity to maintain a healthy body and remain mentally sharp. With dining options within the immediate vicinities of the campus being mostly fast food restaurants, it is up to the university to provide us with healthy dining options and nutrients to adequately fuel our already hectic lives. Dining Services takes pride in its variety of food options, but it is not surprising that not all of them are the healthiest choices, and they do not have to be. However, there still need to be clear and convenient ways for students to gauge the nutritional values of all foods served so that students can make the most informed choices when deciding which foods to buy. Students have voiced concerns regarding transparency issues from Dining Services. Because nutritional information is not printed on menus or on the screens that advertise the food at the campus dining halls, many have found it difficult to locate them and therefore are often unaware of how much calories, fats, sodium and vitamins they put in their bodies, as well as how much of it they should ingest on any given day. This information, however, is not nonexistent. A nutrition analysis tool on the Dining Services website allows students to view nutritional information for some dining hall meals. There are also kiosks avail-

GUEST COLUMN

The economy’s weakness MATT DRAGONETTE JUNIOR

ast week, the Labor Department reported that the United States added 223,000 jobs in April to help bring the unemployment rate closer to historic norms at 5.4 percent. While these statistics show that the economy has made tremendous progress since the depths of the Great Recession, other metrics show that the American economy still has a ways to go. For college students, just a few years or months away from entering the workforce, understanding America’s economic outlook is essential. According to the same report, if including the “discouraged” and “underemployed,” the unemployment rate would double to 10.8 percent. Perhaps even more concerning, average weekly wages only increased 0.1 percent since March, part of an apparent wage stagnation trend that has continued since the lows of the recession. Economic growth forecasts for the first quarter of this year show a projected contraction in economic activity. But what do these statistics mean for young people like us? For one, they mean we should prepare for serious changes in the structure of the economy through both private and government economic action. Certainly, wage rates will be the most defining issue economically — and maybe even politi-

If the economy wants to improve wages naturally in the long-run, it needs to find new or improved existing industries. Whether in Silicon Valley technology or North Dakota oil, innovation will drive value. Of course, innovation often comes from education, and improvements to the educational system would make for a whole series of columns. Nevertheless, it seems clear that organic wage growth will come from fuller employment and the creation of higher-value jobs. Barring a sudden economic surge that forces serious competition for labor, the wage debate will be at the forefront of the 2016 presidential election. Whether it is an adjustment to the minimum wage, corporate regulation and taxation, investment in education or some other economic strategy, candidates will pitch some form of economic revitalization to the American people. For students, it is important to understand these structural issues in the economy. It means making our personal employment and financial choices carefully as we enter the workforce. When voting, we need to be economically literate to understand the implications of candidates’ economic plans. In short, we have to be aware of the economic difficulties and shifts that face our economy today. M a t t D ra g o n e t t e i s a j u n i o r accounting and government and politics major.

cally — over the next few years. With employment not yet back to robust prerecession levels, employers feel little pressure to raise wages for many employees. If the nation is at full natural employment, employers will be forced to raise wages to retain trained employees and attract talented ones. The wage stagnation is exacerbated by the quality of jobs lost during the recession and the type of jobs created in their place. Almost 7 million of the jobs lost from January 2008 to February 2010 were considered high- or mid-wage jobs, yet from February 2010 to February 2014, fewer than 5 million of these jobs were created. In their place, nearly 4 million low-wage jobs were created. Even allowing for the job growth in the past year, one fact has become abundantly clear: The economy is not yet strong enough to support a wage resurgence at all levels of the economy. The foundation of the economy is at stake here. The American economy needs to support employment that provides value in domestic and international markets. Bluecollar employment, particularly manufacturing, has suffered due to a variety of threats, mostly resulting from high costs and economics of scale: automation, outsourcing and a focus on financial services. Postrecession job creation is too often in low-paying, low-skill service jobs that have little chance for sustainable wage growth.

able at the North and South campus dining halls that show nutritional information of meals served. There certainly is a clear effort made by the university to display information on some of the foods it serves in the name of our well-being, but more can be done to make this information more conspicuous and thus more convenient for students to access. Dining Services spokesman Bart Hipple said the department chose against not to display nutritional information next to menus for students because it would be “overwhelming,” but this is no excuse to not do so. It is unreasonable to expect students to line up at the kiosks to look up nutritional information or access the information online prior to setting foot in one of the dining hall only to wait in line again to get the food. Although no one is expecting all nutritional facts to be displayed on the screens for each food item, a few crucial nutritional facts should be on there. Information such as the total caloric, fat and sodium content in a meal should be listed, as this information has the most profound effects on our health and also does not take up much space. Highlighting these values in red can also indicate if they go above recommended daily values, as is the case with the unhealthier options served at the dining halls. Radical changes will not alter the workflow of Dining Services to properly provide students with information on what they eat. Small changes like those mentioned above can give students a much better idea on how they will choose which foods to buy. As this semester is coming to a close, Dining Services should have more than enough time to implement these changes so those of us returning next semester can be better equipped to make the healthy choices that Dining Services has always encouraged us to make.

Don’t get mad at DOTS

sk any student who has a car on the campus or commutes to classes what he or she thinks about DOTS and you will probably get similar responses to: “Stop being so mean and charging us so much money for parking tickets!” While I can agree with the notion that $75 is a steep price to pay for a parking violation, I cannot agree with the idea that the Department of Transportation Services is out to get us. I live a few miles off the campus and commute by car or motorcycle everyday, and yes, I have fallen victim to a fair share of parking tickets. For each ticket I received, I was clearly in violation of the parking rules. I failed to read the rules for that particular lot, and I paid the price. Never once did I believe the department was out to get me or over-ticketing people. Each parking lot has the parking rules posted on a sign written in plain English. It’s not as though these are cryptic signs that display parking limitations that make you question your own sanity. Now to address the people who believe $75 is “too much to charge poor college students.” The sole purpose of a parking ticket is not to punish an individual for making a mistake; the ticket also serves as deterrence to future violations. If the fine were lower, say $25, people would be less inclined to follow all of the parking rules. Do not get me wrong, $25 is not a small sum of

money, but it doesn’t have the same deterrence potential as the $75 ticket. After you pay $75, you will be sure never to make that mistake again. Many people like to blame DOTS employees for handing out parking citations. Yes, it is their job to ride around in their trucks and write tickets for unsuspecting students and visitors. I would argue, though, that they really do not have any say in the process. In order to park in many of the lots around the campus, students must register their license plates with the department and pay an annual or semesterly registration fee. On the top of the trucks is a scanner that reads the license plates and checks if they are in the system for that particular lot. If the license is not registered for that lot, the truck’s driver is notified by the system and then writes a ticket. It’s quite simple, really; register your car and you won’t get a ticket. The department’s employees are just doing their job; they are most certainly not out to get college students. When it comes down to it, there is no one to blame for getting a parking ticket but you. I’m sure there are examples of DOTS employees making mistakes and writing incorrect tickets, but the majority of the time people receive tickets because they misinterpret the signs or are too lazy to even read them. In either case, DOTS is not to blame. Je s s e D o v e rs p i k e i s a j u n i o r criminology and criminal justice m a j o r. H e c a n b e re a c h e d a t doverspike75@gmail.com.

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER

orn today, you are the kind of person about whom other people are often thinking. Indeed, you are likely to be so often the center of attention that you must get used to the idea of sacrificing your own privacy and stepping out upon the world stage to live your life in the public eye -- for that is very likely what the stars have in store for you. You may not always like it -- who would? -- but the truth is that you were born to do things in a style that is uniquely your own, often for reasons that are uniquely your own, and being “on stage” may be the best possible way for you to do that. Were you a solitary, private individual you would get far less done in life. You have a great deal of sex appeal, and you may well leave many broken hearts in your wake, though this is not intentional. The truth is that you enjoy being in love; even if a love affair is destined to fail, you will pursue it simply for the short-term pleasure it can bring you. Also born on this date are: Emilio Estevez, actor; Florence Nightingale, nurse; Jason Biggs, actor; Katharine Hepburn, actress; Yogi Berra, baseball player; George Carlin, comedian; Ving Rhames, actor; Malin Akerman, actress; Burt Bacharach, singersongwriter and pianist; Steve Winwood, singer-songwriter; Stephen Baldwin, actor; Gabriel Byrne, actor; Bruce Boxleitner, actor; Tom Snyder, journalist; Richard Riehle, actor; Edward Lear, poet. 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.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 13 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Your search for something that fits into the changes you are planning may prove time-consuming but productive. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -You can learn much from someone who is going through the same experience as you. Keep an eye on each other, and make adjustments in tandem. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -You’re worrying too much about being on time, when the most important issue is turning in work that exceeds expectations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be called upon to settle a dispute that hinges on an issue that you don’t completely understand -- yet. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Express yourself openly, but know that not everyone is ready to hear what you have to say. Tensions may rise for a while at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You must ready yourself for some disagreement, and recognize that disagreement is not, in and of itself, an argument!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your attitude may seem a bit too cavalier for some, but others realize that this is just your way of protecting yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Carelessness is not likely to be quickly forgiven, though you’ll surely have the chance to correct any genuine errors. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re learning a great deal from someone who has taken it upon himself to do the impossible. You know that it’s only a matter of time! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be suffering from an environmental malady of some sort. You’ll soon have to make a change that reduces any serious threats. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- In the afternoon, you’ll have a chance to do something you skipped over in the morning -- but your window will be very small, indeed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Things are likely to be interconnected in ways that you had not anticipated. Names and dates will prove important as you sort matters out.

PREVIEW | SUMMER TV

BETTER THAN THE BEACH The days of summer TV season as a wasteland of programming are long gone as the coming months feature plenty of buzzworthy shows By Dustin Levy @DustinBLevy Staff writer Summer and TV go together like oil and water. Why care about what’s on the tube when you can be out enjoying the sunshine? But times are changing, and this notion that the two don’t mix is growing old, now that you can take your screen to the beach with you. Say goodbye to trashy reality shows and random cable offerings. Summer programming can now create the same buzz as seasonal insects with everything from dramas to comedies to yet another installment of America’s Got Talent. To whet your appetite, here’s a look at what you will want to be watching in the coming months. Netflix has a number of offerings old and new to keep serial bingers satisfied during June, July and August. Orange Is the New Black, Netflix’s buzzy women’s prison dramedy, enters its third season in June, promising more hilarity and high stakes from the ladies of Litchfield. The season-three trailer of the series, based on the memoir by Piper Kerman, features the tagline “Sorry not sorry” and a dearth of Jason Biggs (American Reunion), so it’s safe to say the outlook for the new season is trending upward. Netflix will also premiere Wet Hot American Summer in July. A spin-off of the 2001 farcical comedy of the same name, the series will bring

back the cast of the cult classic for more wacky, off-kilter fun. Back before Bradley Cooper ( American Sniper ) was a member of the Wolf Pack or Amy Poehler ( Parks and Recreation) introduced audiences to Pawnee, Indiana, they starred with a cavalcade of future stars in the David Wain feature. The eight-episode series, subtitled “First Day of Camp,” will also throw new names into the mix, such as Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids) and Jon Hamm (Mad Men). Another film-to-series adaptation coming this summer is MTV’s Scream. The show will adapt the slasher film series for the age of millennials this June. This summer will also see the premieres of new Netflix series Sense8 and Between, the latter of which will betray the streaming platform’s binge format with weekly episode releases. Another weekly summer thriller will be the second installment of HBO’s True Detective . The anthology series, which captivated audiences with the dynamic d u o o f M a t t h ew Mc Co n a u g h ey ( Da l l a s B uye rs Club) and Woody Harrelson (Zombieland) last year, aims to prove it’s worth the wait this July. The second season, which leaves the creepy occult of Louisiana behind, will star Colin Farrell ( Total Recall ), Vince Vaughn (The Internship) and Rachel McAdams ( Midnight in Paris ). Set in California, the show may not abandon all of the trademarks

of its first season, as showrunner Nic Pizzolatto and his passion for profound themes and gorgeous cinematography are set to return. HBO will also premiere two new shows: Ballers and The Brink. The former resembles a mix of Entourage and the NFL. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Ballers will focus on the muscle-bound actor’s transition from football player to highprofile sports agent. The Brink will bring some levity to the Middle East, as the series will follow a Pakistani geopolitical crisis through government officials played by Tim Robbins (Mystic River) and Jack Black (Bernie). Elsewhere on premium cable, Showtime is bringing back Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex for the shows’ respective third seasons. Looking at network television, you will find more of the same this summer: America’s Got Talent, Big Brother and one too many food-related reality shows. However, NBC will air a promising period drama in Aquarius , a 13episode “event series” about a police sergeant played by David Duchovny (Californication) whose work in a missingpersons case will lead him to Charles Manson. Summer television may not get the treatment of other seasonal lineups, but there’s a diverse field of binge-worthy and watchable series coming in the next few months, so it’s best to be sure you’re in the loop. dlevydbk@gmail.com

the summer slate features some new material, but the bulk of TV talk this sunny season is sure to come from big returning names like Orange is the New Black (top), True Detective (middle) and America’s Got Talent (bottom). photos courtesy of netflix, hbo and nbc.

ESSAY | AIRPLANE ETIQUETTE

Mile-high Manners A desperately needed refresher on how to avoid being the person everyone hates on a plane By Hannah Lang @DBKDiversions For The Diamondback I recently spent an eighthour flight actively hating the man sitting directly in front of me. This man — the man who caused my blood pressure to soar, my anxiety to reach an all-time high and my sleep deprivation to increase tenfold — thought it was a great idea to recline his seat until he was literally lying in my lap. I didn’t even know airplane seats could recline like this, but this man pushed it to the limit. He acted

not as though he were on a cramped airplane but in his basement watching football on a leather recliner. But no, we were not in his basement; we were 38,000 feet in the air, and I lost a night’s worth of sleep. I spent about two hours passive-aggressively kicking his seat while the rest of the passengers slept peacefully, but the only solace I got during those long eight hours was when he went to the bathroom and I slammed his chair into the upright position, only to have him come back and re-recline two minutes later. This horrendous expe-

rience, which I don’t wish upon even my worst enemies, inspired me to explain the simplest of airplane etiquette for people who are clearly oblivious. And believe me, they’re out there. So if you travel the world this summer, please keep this information in mind. The overhead bins are for carry-on luggage. If you feel the need to make everyone in your aisle get up every five minutes so you can go to the overhead bins and get a book or something, you are traveling incorrectly and need to stop immediately. If you want to read a book, use a laptop or listen to music

on the flight, please plan accordingly and put these things with the personal item you are allowed to take on the plane. Honestly, how many things could you possibly need to get to in your luggage? The answer should be none if you know how to pack. I also would like to stress the importance of keeping your shoes on. This is not a tropical beach, people; it’s an aircraft, and no one wants to see your feet. Think of all the people that have walked on this plane before you, and most importantly, think of your fellow passengers before you strip your socks off.

On my glorious aforementioned eight-hour flight, the movie Paddington was playing. If you are not familiar, this is a children’s movie about a bear. I would like to emphasize that it is not by any means Aziz Ansari doing stand-up with the flight attendants, which some other people on my flight did not seem to understand. I can guarantee you that whatever it is you’re watching, it’s not hilarious enough to the extent where you need to crack up laughing and snorting. Come on, guys. It’s a CGI bear eating some honey; let’s get it together.

Lastly, please eat all of yo u r W h o p p e rs a n d B i g Macs and sodium-infused french fries before you get on a flight, especially if it’s an extremely long one. While the smell of fast food can be tempting for just about three seconds, it’s nauseating and extremely unpleasant for everyone else on the plane who has to watch you eat it. Honestly, if I were the owner of an airline, I would invest more time in making a video about these atrocities rather than one about how to put a seatbelt on. diversionsdbk@gmail.com

shots From PAGE 8 10 looks from the spot in victories against Michigan and Princeton. Sunday, McPartland led the Terps’ free-position charge. “I shot a couple when there was flags, which I probably shouldn’t have, but not necessarily [trying to draw fouls],” McPartland said. Megan Whittle kicked off the Terps’ showing at the line less than a minute into the game, as she bounced the first of her two foul shots past Minutewomen goalkeeper Rachel Vallarelli. McPartland then added two more, including the one to tie the game, less than two minutes before attacker Brooke Griffin netted her attempt to help the Terps take a 4-3 lead early in the opening half. The Terps connected on six of eight free-position attempts in the first half, as the

Minutewomen’s play resulted in the referees flagging Massachusetts for 23 fouls in the first half. The Terps, meanwhile, were charged five penalties during the period. “We were getting beat by one step and allowing them to get middle,” Minutewomen coach Angela McMahon said. “We were really trying to keep them to the outside, and our fouls were kind of those desperation attempts, you know, last-ditch efforts to try to recover if [we] got beat by a step.” McMahon’s squad cleaned up its play in the second half, as the Minutewomen surrendered seven fouls after the break. Still, the missteps resulted in two free-position looks for the Terps. McPartl a n d co nver te d h er fina l attempt at 13:41 to widen the Terps’ lead to 17-7. “We just tried to really focus on pressing out on them,” McMahon said. “I think we did a little bit better of a job at [that] in the second half.”

The Terps committed seven fouls of their own in the final period. The Minutewomen went 2-for-3 in the half to take advantage of the Terps’ less restricted play with a big lead. “We struggled a little bit early on defending UMass,” Terps coach Cathy Reese said. “But we came together after the first couple goals were scored. I think our defense really picked it up from that point forward.” As the Terps look ahead to a q u a r te r f i n a l b o u t a ga i n s t No r t hwe s te r n , they’ll hope to continue to convert from the freeposition mark. “Our girls played really hard all over the field,” Reese said. “This is what we work all season for, is to put ourselves in position to have the opportunity to compete in the NCAA tournament.” ccaplandbk@gmail.com

Forward Jake Layman opted to return for his senior season, and All-Big Ten point guard Melo Trimble decided to stay for his sophomore campaign, but Turgeon knows his time with this talent-laden roster is limited. Layman, Trimble, transfer forward Robert Carter Jr. and incoming five-star center Diamond Stone are all capable of being first-round picks after next season. And with the shooting guard position the only spot lacking a star, Turgeon wasn’t willing to pass up a chance to add a former McDonald’s All-American he built a relationship with more than nine years ago. And he shouldn’t have. With the addition of Sulaimon, the Terps will have more talent next season than they have had maybe ever. Before last season, the Terps hadn’t lured a McDonald’s All-American to College Park since 2003. With the offseason additions of Sulaimon and Stone, and Trimble returning, the Terps will have three take the court next season. It

flames From PAGE 8 with 353 runs scored entering their contest with the Flames (31-19), scored 39 runs on 50 hits against the Buckeyes last weekend. “Everybody up and down the lineup is going to produce,” Lowe said. “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to get a base hit. Give it to the next guy.” While the Terps rotation didn’t replicate its recent success on the hill against Ohio State — the three starters combined to allow 10 runs in 17 innings — the team

was a can’t-miss opportunity for Turgeon. Some fans will have problems with Sulaimon, but look at how quickly everyone forgot what led Dez Wells to join the Terps. Before he won over Terps fans’ hearts with posterizing dunks and electrifying chase-down blocks, Wells was expelled from Xavier after sexual assault allegations that a prosecutor later decided were unfounded. There are differences between the circumstances surrounding Wells’ and Sulaimon’s situations, but it would be foolish for fans to be OK with one and not the other. He fills a need for the Terps and bolsters their case to don the No. 1 preseason ranking in the fall. You don’t win national championships on paper, but you have to put the best starting five on the floor. For Turgeon, that meant adding Sulaimon, who averaged 10 points per game over his three years at Duke. Just one offseason ago, Turgeon was under fire when five rotational players transferred away after the Terps posted a disappointing 17-15 record. But he saved his job

and revitalized the program behind the trio of Wells, Trimble and Layman, who helped lead the Terps to a program-record 26 regularseason wins. Their season was cut short in the Round of 32 in the NCAA tournament, though, and Turgeon is using the offseason as a chance to build an even stronger squad. Stone’s commitment last month elevated the Terps into discussions regarding the nation’s top team, and yesterday, the addition of Sulaimon added to the hype. Sure, Sulaimon wore blue and white for three years. And yeah, he did burn the Terps’ defense for 25 points as a freshman in 2013. But Turgeon’s decision benefits Sulaimon and the Terps program. He gets a second chance while the Terps add another NBA-caliber player to their roster. Who knows the next time the Terps will have the opportunity to start five potential NBA draft picks? So don’t fret his past; get excited about the future.

limited the Buckeyes in crucial situations. In the series finale, righthander Kevin Mooney entered the game in the sixth inning with the Terps trailing 7-3. Over the next 3.2 innings, Mooney held the Buckeyes to two runs, and the offense erased a five-run deficit for the victory. “You’re going to win late in the season and in the postseason by different guys doing it,” Szefc said. “The biggest unseen thing in that game was the [3.2 innings] Mooney threw. … He was just as valuable as anybody else.” In their meeting with Liberty on April 15, the Terps overcame

a three-run hole in the ninth inning before Mooney shut down the Flames for his fourth save of the year. With the win, the Terps avoided a fourth loss in five games. But having won three of their past four contests, the Terps enter today’s matchup on a high note. And as the two-week plan draws to a close, they’ll look to enter into the postseason with some momentum. “Just taking it one game at a time, inning by inning and pitch by pitch,” third baseman Jose Cuas said. “Hopefully things will work out in the end.”
