Loh joins Hogan, officials on Asia tour University president met with educators during trip to China, South Korea with governor By Ellie Silverman @esilverman11 Senior staff writer University President Wallace Loh returned last night from a trip to Asia, where he met with heads of universi-
ties, held an alumni gathering and attended business meetings with Gov. Larry Hogan and other state officials. The trip aimed to foster relationships between academic research and business, which aligns with the university’s M Square Research Park and
innovation district plans, said Brian Ullmann, this university’s marketing and communications assistant vice president. “So not only are we there to engage with companies to do business back here in Maryland,” Ullmann said. “But we are there to sort of learn and pull some lessons back on how we can do better here in our state.” The Asia mission delegation also
includes the governor’s wife Yumi Hogan, other state officials, local business leaders and representatives from the University System of Maryland, Karen Glenn Hood, media relations and public affairs deputy director for the state’s business and economic development department said in a news release.

Former mayor, state governor announces his presidential bid Saturday
By Hallie Miller @thedbk For The Diamondback With five hours, one computer and 13 computer science problems to solve, a team of three u n iversity computer science graduate students worked to finish as many problems as possible before the deadline. This was part of an internationally recognized computer programming contest, sponsored by IBM, in Marrakech, Morocco, in which the university team competed in May against 127 other teams. “These students are dauntless problem solvers,” Bill Poucher, International Collegiate Programming Contest executive director and Baylor University computer science professor said in a statement. “We aim for them to inspire each other to raise the bar for global technological innovation as they move into their careers.” See MOROCCO, Page 2
By Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl Staff writer After years of public speculation that the former two-term governor would announce a 2016 presidential bid, Martin O’Malley revealed Saturday that he would join expected front-runner Hillary Clinton and others in vying for the Democratic nomination. In Baltimore, where O’Malley served as a city councilman and mayor before running for governor, the 52-year-old delivered a speech in which he decried Wall Street firms as “bullies” and pledged to “rebuild the American dream.” “It’s ab out u s.

ASIA From PAGE 1 “This goal of this mission is all about taking our ‘Maryland Is Open for Business’ message to one of the fastest-growing economic regions of the world and inviting businesses from South Korea, China and Japan to explore all that Maryland has to offer,” Hogan said in a statement. Loh’s trip to South Korea and China cost $13,885, which was funded by the University of Maryland College Park Foundation, Ullmann wrote in an email. His trip kicked off in South Korea with visits to Hanyang University and Yonsei University, Loh said, which are both located in Seoul. This university has exchange programs with both universities, ranked eighth and fifth respectively, in South Korea, according to U.S. News and World Report. During his meeting with educators there, Loh said a common interest was student sta rtups, wh ich he sa id gave him an opportunity to talk about this university’s Startup Shell, a student-run group and registered nonprofit organization.
morocco From PAGE 1 Xi Yi, Soheil Ehsani and Sina Dehghani made up the university team and completed five of the problems, placing 73rd out of 128 in the 39th Annual Association for Computing Machinery International Collegiate Programming Contest world finals. “It is a very friendly competition among the best programmers around the world, plu s lots of enter ta i n i n g and fun events,” Dehghani wrote in an email. “Also it was very nice to see people from all around the world and share the experiences and ideas.” University computer science professor and the tea m’s coach Moha m mad Hajiag hay i sa id the tea m cou ld’ve done better, but the ranking was reasonable. The team finished behind Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Ca l i for n i a, B erkeley a nd Harvard University, Hajiaghayi said.

“T hey are interested in sending their students here to go to the Startup Shell, and of course, sending Maryland students to their schools,” Loh said. “Those are two major academic-type relationships.” This could improve the university’s global reach, as there are alumni teaching in numerous Korean universities, Loh said. The large presence of university alumni prompted Loh to attend an alumni gathering in Seoul with an attendance of about 120 people, he said. A m ajority of fa l l 2014 foreign undergraduates at the university — 56.2 percent — and 47.1 percent of foreign graduate students came from China, and about 4 percent of foreign undergraduates and about 5 percent of foreign graduate students came from South Korea. “It’s truly a global world now,” Loh said. “Education is global.” While in Beijing, Loh attended an Under Armour store event emphasizing the company’s presence and expansion in Asia, according to his itinerary. “It’s fitting that the founder of Under Armour is a graduate of the University of Maryland,” Loh said. “To have the University of Maryland rep-
resented at such an opening in one of the world’s largest and most dynamic markets, it’s huge exposure to the University of Maryland.” Loh also attended meetings with the Beijing Normal University president and chair and the Chinese Academy of Sci-
ences president, according to his itinerary. The estimated cost of the trip is $140,000, with each state agency paying for their respective staff members and private business members paying their own way, Glenn Hood wrote in an email.

As the new dean, Beyrouty said he hopes to work with other disciplines outside of the agriculture college. “We want to be able to sustain and grow agriculture within the state,” Beyrouty said. “To do that, we have to focus on the food-production side of things but also the environmental and the natural resource side and so it’s going to be a holistic approach to agriculture.” The current dean, Cheng-i Wei, said he is in the process of deciding his next career move. “I can always go back as a tenured faculty to conduct teaching, research and service for the university,” Wei said.

Ben Kramer, UMD College Democrats president, said O’Malley has a great record of progressive accomplishments as governor, includi ng suppor t i n g m a r r i a ge e q u a l i t y, r e p e a l i n g t h e death penalty and raising the minimum wage. He also appointed the first female chief justice of this state’s Court of Appeals and signed an assault weapons ban. Speci fic to h igher education, O’Malley supported this state’s Dream Act, which allows undocu mented i m m ig ra nt students to receive i n-state tuition and financial aid,

and froze tuition for fou r yea rs. Du ri ng O’Ma l ley’s tenure, this state had one of the lowest rates of tuition i nc re a s e i n t he c o u nt r y, Kramer said. O’Malley hasn’t received widespread backing on the campus because he lacks the same campaigning power as a federal politician, Kramer said. For example, Ready For Hillary, a national grassroots political action committee formed to champion Clinton for a 2016 presidential run, established chapters on col lege ca mpuses across the country. There is no equivalent for the former governor, Kramer said. “One of the things that c o m e s w i t h b e i n g a n ational figure for as long as Hillary Clinton has been a national figure your name is very, very, very w idely known, and your network of supporters and donors is really, really, really large,” he sa id . “It rea l ly comes down to name recognition and how long you’ve been on the national scene.” Terps Ready for Hillary formed after three students wo rk e d fo r t h e n a t i o n a l

Lightstone, and co-presidents Samara Cohen and Allyson Winburn, orga n ized ca mpa ig n i ng events and tried to mobilize students about the election. Now that Clinton’s candidacy is official, Lightstone said the group hopes to get students involved with the campaign both here and in their home states. Lightstone said she supports Clinton because she is highly qualified and has been committed to public service throughout her life. She said O’Malley is not as experienced, but has “a lot of potential as a candidate” in the future. “I would love to see him d oi n g t h i n g s o n t h e n ational level but I just don’t know that now’s the right time for him,” said Lightstone, a junior government and politics major. “I think down the road he definitely would be an incredibly viable candidate, and I would love to support him.”
Stella Rouse, assistant director at this university’s Center for American Politics and Citizenship, said while O’ M a l l e y d id h ave s o m e major successes as governor, his popularity waned toward the end of his term. “For the most part, people were pretty disenchanted with him, certainly in t he l a s t s eve ra l ye a rs of his term, raising of taxes, p u t t i n g t h e b u d ge t i n a shortfa l l, k i nd of leav i ng the state in the red for the next governor to come in,” she said.

Terps Ready for Hillary founding member do in the next administration. So I think there’s no downside to him running because he has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Sen ior geolog y m ajor Kelsey Wood, a native of this state, said she recognized O’Malley’s name but didn’t know much else about him. She said she doesn’t follow politics and hasn’t noticed huge political interest around the campus. “It’s rea l ly just not my thing,” Wood said. “I feel like I don’t hear a lot about it.” Wood voted in the 2012 election and said she might vote i n 2016 i f she lea rns enough about the candidates. K ramer said O’Malley’s
prog ressive record cou ld help him garner support on col lege ca mpuses, where students tend to be more l ibera l on m a ny pol itica l issues. While Clinton is seen as the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination, Kramer said she was also seen as the overwhelming favorite leading up to the 2008 election. “ T h e re’s a l o t o f t i m e left,” Kramer said. “If you do surprisingly well in the early states, anything can happen, so we’ll have to wait and see.” Editor in chief Matt Schna b el cont r i buted to this report. lschapitldbk@gmail.com

They cruised through the regular season with a 17-0 mark to earn the Big Ten regular-season championship title, but in the conference tournament semifinals, the Terps tasted disappointment for the first time since April 5, 2014. The team lost its grip on an early 4-0 advantage against Ohio State and fell, 11-10. The loss capped a stretch of games. Reese said her team wa s “ j u s t k i n d o f go i n g through the motions.” “We were kind of slipping but managing to pull out some wins,” Douty said. “After that loss, we [were] coming together, and we were playing Maryland lacrosse again.” Though the Terps boasted eight All-Big Ten team players, including the conference’s offensive, midfielder and de-

Terrapins women’s lacrosse midfielder fensive Players of the Year in Griffin, Cummings and Douty, respectively, two of the team’s key contributors were new to the program. Attacker Megan Whittle led the team with 67 goals in her breakout rookie year. The Glenwood native earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors six times in the regular season as she tallied at least three goals in 17 games, including sixgoal performances against Towson and Princeton. “It was something really special to be a part of,” Whittle said. “Playing every day against the best defense, and every day with the best attackers, you learn a lot, and you learn a lot quickly. I figured out my place, and everyone trusted me.” Goalkeeper Alex Fitzpatrick, a fifth-year senior transfer from Lehigh, was the only other new starter. After winning a preseason competition for the starting spot, Fitzpatrick guarded the
Terps’ net in all 22 games and finished second among Big Ten goalkeepers who played more than three games in save percentage (.454). And she anchored the Terps defense that ended the season as the fifth-best scoring defense, allowing an average of 7.27 goals per game. Perhaps the most important factor in the Terps’ repeat run, though, was Cummings. The junior led the country with 100 points and ranked fifth with 143 draw controls to become the youngest player to win two Tewaaraton Awards, given to the nation’s best men’s and women’s lacrosse players. A few months after wrapping this state’s flag over her shoulders and staring down the camera as the focal point of the Terps’ head-turning magazine cover, Cummings notched a team-high five points and seven draws on the sport’s biggest stage. Now, Reese no longer has to try to minimize and divert the pressure placed on her 34 players. With back-to-back titles in their possession, the Terps legitimized their standing among women’s lacrosse’s elite teams. “It was hard,” Cummings said. “We’ve had some ups and downs, but right now, we’re on a very big up, and I don’t think you can ask for anything more.” ccaplandbk@gmail.com

alk along Route 1 between Hartwick and Lehigh roads from midnight to 3 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, and you’ll likely spot a half-dozen police officers during the course of your stroll. Step off the thoroughfare and the number of uniforms thins palpably. Though it’s still not all that likely you’ll fall prey to a robbery or assault, the crime rate rises accordingly, as most students can glean from this university’s late night police alerts. The city’s reputation as a crimeheavy college town — particularly for a flagship state school — isn’t wholly undeserved, though it’s perhaps a touch exaggerated when compared with nearby Baltimore and Washington. Gun crime and killings, such as 2013’s off-campus murder-suicide carried out by a university student, last summer’s murder of a sex worker in a Route 1 hotel and the county’s first murder of the year at the Camden College Park apartments, are thankfully rare. Nonetheless, rashes of break-ins and robberies crop up with disturbing regularity in the city, often affecting the university’s transient student population. Few student h o u s i n g o p t i o n s h ave p rove n immune; in recent years, police

have investigated such incidents at North Campus high-rise dorms and the pricey University View and The Varsity off-campus apartments. At lower cost apartments and residences located elsewhere in the city, limited security and dilapidated locks and doors often render students’ personal property all too easy to come by. OUR VIEW
The city has displayed the ability to improve safety measures on the streets, but more should be done for homes. Little more than a well-placed rap on the doors at the University Club apartments can give perpetrators enough space to bypass the locks, students reported, and multiple Diamondback employees had property stolen while living in the near-infamous Knox Box apartments before their demolition in the fall. Even at the View and Varsity, which employ security cameras, restricted swipe access and security guards, nonresidents can sneak into the high-rises with relative ease through propped-open side entrances.
Admittedly, residents often drop the ball when it comes to existing safety measures and basic precaution, such as locking doors and preventing tailgating into buildings. But the frequency of reported break-ins and robberies suggest that landlords and managers need to re-examine the safety of the residences and apartments they lease out. At Camden College Park, repeated complaints from residents about security concerns allegedly went unanswered even after police found 22-year-old Stefon Powell shot dead outside the complex on Jan. 1. While this editorial board doubts student housing will see an uptick in murders — massive statistical aberrations every time they involve members of the university community — it’s disturbing to think managers of apartment complexes would simply ignore any manner of qualm over safety. The city has proven capable of tackling other areas of student safety head-on; it’s why we’ve seen a crackdown on jaywalking and so many police officers patrolling Route 1 nightly in the wake of last academic year’s pedestrian deaths. Students feel safer on the streets; hopefully, residence owners won’t stand by and let students feel at risk in their own homes.

Our age of Ultron is coming soon MAX AN
O
JUNIOR
n Saturday, I put on my Captain America T-shirt and finally went to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron. I was absolutely flabbergasted by the pure awesomeness of the movie, but even more so, I was surprised by how strangely plausible the plot of the movie could be — assuming you ignore the superhumans and Norse god of thunder. While purely fictitious (hopefully this next part doesn’t ruin the movie for anyone), the movie revolves around an artificial intelligence program named Ultron. This program goes wild and tries to destroy humanity after deciding that the only way to save humans is to completely eradicate them. Much like the other popular “machines gone evil” films such as The Matrix or the upcoming Terminator sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron examines what might happen when technology becomes a tool that humans can no longer wield. The concept of artificial intelligence is quite intriguing in that AI are essentially intelligent software programs that are capable of feeling, learning, thinking and reasoning — much like a human would. Already in our lives, we have some experience with advances toward granting computers the power of reason, such as facial-recognition technologies and certain computer science programs, of which the ultimate purpose is to help solve everyday issues. And while AI is certainly a noble scientific pursuit, some of our world’s intellectual heroes (albeit not superhuman), such as Stephen Hawking and Bill

rought. This word generally conjures images of arid deserts devoid of life. Amazingly, however, as of last week, at 30 percent of the country experienced moderate drought, and in seven states, drought conditions were so severe that half of its land area was in a severe drought, USA Today reported. This is most seen in places in the United States such as California and Texas. Although the citizens of these drought-stricken states are aware of current droughts, it hasn’t appeared to curb their irresponsible use of water. There are several ways the citizens of drought-stricken areas can help preserve water instead of wasting it. These strategies include switching to “desert” landscaping, reducing the practice of fracking and practicing safe water
management. In some states, water is already a limited resource, but people still continue to plant grass lawns and install water features and home swimming pools. All of these practices are illogical when water is already scarce. The alternative is to adapt landscaping practices to suit the environment. Instead of planting grass, make a rock garden or use desert plants such as cacti. While it’s not the traditional way to ornament one’s yard, it is more water-efficient and will reduce the amount of water needed to maintain the area. Reducing the number of water features and home swimming pools also will drastically reduce the amount of water being wasted. Fracking, or using high-pressure water to drill for oil, is commonplace in North Texas. While it is an effective drilling method, it also dirties and uses millions of gallons of water. The dirtying of the water also renders the water completely
useless for agricultural purposes or human consumption. Because water is already scarce, it would make more sense to use traditional drilling methods in environments like North Texas. Apart from large institutional changes, individuals can help conserve water every day. Instead of taking a 15-minute shower, simply jump in, rinse off and get on with your day. Instead of leaving the faucet running while you brush your teeth, fill a cup with water and use that to rinse your mouth and toothbrush after you have finished. Simple changes like these can have a massive effect without drastically altering people’s lifestyles. Conserving water should be a major concern for all people, not just citizens of drought-stricken areas. It is everyone’s responsibility to practice water conservation.

Gates have called for increased attention to artificial intelligence limitations during the last couple of months. When asked about AI development, Hawking, one of the world’s leading astrophysicists, commented, “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded.” By Hawking’s estimations, he imagines that “Computers will overtake humans with AI at some point within the next 100 years.” AI or no AI, it is indisputable that these next couple of decades will be accompanied by a nearly inexorable age of technological innovations. Already, we are approaching a point with our neuroscience and neuroimaging technologies that may potentially allow us to predict certain criminal behaviors through the analysis of brainwaves. And while this certainly brings up ethical issues in regard to cognitive liberty, there does seem to be an alarming trend that improved technology often decreases individual privacy. Technology is increasingly dominating more and more of our lives. For the sake of convenient communication through social media and better security, we already give up some of our individual rights. But can we risk successfully developing artificial intelligence? What if we are unable to control these computers’ development and they successfully become even more intelligent via runaway feedback loops? Can our human growth match their software and mechanical growth? Overall, AI and rampant technological growth around the world is becoming more pressing every day, but hey, on the bright side, at least we don’t have to worry about a Chitauri invasion, am I right?

BOSTON From PAGE 6
Vance Joy beaming while he performed his feel-good songs and alternative-rock band TV on the Radio’s massive performance that included three guitarists, a saxophone and an hour of nonstop moving that left lead singer Tunde Adebimpe dripping in sweat. Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the lead vocalists of Tenacious D, took the stage as the second-to-last act with their outlandish personalities and comedy-rock songs. During songs, the crowd would excitedly cheer for a guitar riff at one moment and burst into raucous laughter at a funny lyric the next without a trace of irony. For the final performance, a throng of people of all ages crammed close to the JetBlue stage in anticipation of the Pixies’ hardhitting guitar riffs and the powerful vocals of Black Francis, the group’s lead singer. Between the opening beat of “Bone Machine,” Francis’ intense screams during “U-Mass” and the groovy feel of “Here Comes Your Man,” it was a performance that undoubtedly excited many older attendees while giving younger ones exposure to new songs – a microcosm of Boston Calling, an intergenerational exchange of music.
a performance that seemed just as centered on her personality as it was on music. She seductively licked the wire of her microphone, joked about not flashing the crowd and interrupted her set to ask a manager if they had cigarettes. When her managers said they didn’t, a young fan in front of the stage yelled that he could give Halsey a cigarette. “I’m not taking cigs from a kid,” she laughed. “That’s some next-level f----- up s---.” After singing her song “New Americana,” which includes the lyrics, “We are the new Americana / Getting high on legal marijuana,” Halsey joked about her prospects of returning to the city. “I see some police officers over there giving me dirty looks – maybe it’s my last time coming to Boston,” she said. After a forgettable performance fromILoveMakonnen,whosemusic molded into one continuous blaring of similar beats, a slew of folk- and rock-based artists took over the afternoon. Highlights of that stretch included diversionsumdbk@gmail.com

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER
he coming week will require a great deal of emotional flexibility and strength on the part of many individuals as situations arise -- both expected and unexpected -- that push buttons and bring people closer to personal danger zones. Changes will be significant, yet they needn’t be anything but positive, at least in the long run. Those who fear the unknown and work to prevent things from changing are likely to encounter far more difficulty than even those who are being asked to endure dramatic shifts in their daily lives. The ability to go with the flow can prove quite beneficial. To some, this will mean simply doing what they are told without argument; to others, it may be more complicated -- though no less possible. Domestic affairs may progress in an unusual fashion for many. There may, in fact, be a topsy-turvy sort of feeling when it comes to home life. One’s primary relationship is almost sure to require a bit more attention than usual at this time. Now is no time to take loved ones for granted! GEMINI (May 21-June 6) -- You may be trying too hard to keep things the way they have been in the past, but you must acknowledge that a new day is dawning. (June 7-June 20) -- Something big is just around the corner, and you must spend a good portion of the week getting ready for it. CANCER (June 21-July 7) -- You’ll wake each day feeling as though you’re closer than you were the day before to an important personal goal -- one that has yet to be defined! (July 8-July 22) -- You may have to skip over some of the finer points in order to be sure that you’re clear about the big picture. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- A revelation of sorts early in the week has you moving in a new direction almost immediately. Some family members may not approve. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You’ll receive a message that has you reconsidering an invitation you had only recently turned down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) -- The pace is likely to quicken, causing you to lose
track of something that has kept you on an even keel. Get it back! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- Your search for something that can bring greater meaning to routine endeavors may lead you down an unfamiliar path. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) -- Those who are calling the shots are expecting more from you than from anyone else. You can come through, surely. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) -- A question of physical health and mental well-being will arise, and you’ll be compelled to seek more than one opinion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) -- You’ll have reason to pull up short and reexamine where you have been -- and where you think you are going. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) -- You can remain in control, but only after recognizing one or two key weaknesses. This will require you to take another honest look at yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) -- Your confidence is likely to wax and wane throughout a difficult week. In the end, you’ll have a friend to thank for your success. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) -- You don’t want to take the credit for something you did purely by accident. You can, however, build on this trend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) -- You may find yourself in an unfamiliar environment, trying to accomplish routine tasks in a way that is anything but routine. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) -- You must do what you can to maintain contact with those who are farther from you than you had expected. The stories you
hear will please you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) -- You may be unusually demonstrative all week long, so be sure to include everyone as you share your feelings in an open and honest way. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) -You have much to say, and yet you may have trouble getting the attention of the one person who really needs to hear it all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) -- It’s more important that you get in touch with yourself rather than anyone else. Give yourself a good talking-to! (March 6-March 20) -- You may be putting a bit too much time into a certain project at work when in fact you should be paying more attention to a loved one in need. ARIES (March 21-April 4) -- You’ve been strong for quite some time in the face of a major challenge. Now you’ll have a chance to relax a bit. (April 5-April 19) -- You should be able to satisfy your boss in a way that is entirely new -- and very exciting. Both parties have something to gain. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) -- Someone is trying to exert an unfair influence over you. You can resist, surely, but you must do so in a way that comes naturally. (May 6-May 20) -- You may have become a target in some way recently. You’ll have to maneuver carefully to avoid any real dangers. COPYRIGHT 2015 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.

By Josh Magness @josh_mag For The Diamondback Wearing a jet-black leather jacket, skinny jeans and his signature brimmed hat, Beck had a request for the large audience that congregated to watch his set as the first day of Boston Calling came to an end. “If you feel the will to move, say ‘Hell yes,’” Beck commanded the thousands of attendees who braved the chilly, windy opening night of the three-day music festival located at Boston’s City Hall Plaza. “Hell yes,” the crowd loudly responded, prompting the 2015 Grammy Album of the Year winner to play “Hell Yes,” the electro song’s throbbing base and synth-heavy production echoing through the crowd and out into the surrounding city streets. All of the festivalgoers, from teenage boys to middle-aged women with flower crowns to
older white-haired couples, danced, sang and grooved – a noticeable trend throughout the three days of music that spanned the genres of hip-hop, indie-pop, alternative rock, folk and everything in between.
DAY 1 At 6 p.m. Friday, festivalgoers streamed into City Hall Plaza for the first day of music festivities. Artists performed on two stages – the Red and JetBlue stages. The two set-ups were located close to each other, but the festival gave the artists their own performance time, a system that allowed the crowd to take in everything. Indie folk-rock singer Sharon Van Etten kicked off the festival with a stunning display of vocal prowess. Van Etten’s voice pulsed with electricity as it soared on her song “Taking Chances,” a feat that contrasted with her small frame and
timid personality. After Van Etten’s soulful performance, Australian indie-rock group Tame Impala took the stage. An electronic screen behind them showed psychedelic imagery that matched the beat of the music. Kevin Parker, the group’s lead singer, delivered vocals eerily identical to the recordings. Band members whipped their long hair while intently playing groovy guitar riffs. Hard-hitting drum beats and throbbing bass moved the crowd. But the true spectacle of day one, as expected, was Beck’s high-energy performance. He spanned every inch of the stage, jammed out with band members and belted fast-paced songs, including “Devil’s Haircut,” a crowd favorite. Audience members clapped and stomped during up-tempo sections of Beck’s performance, but the veteran musician brought the first day to a solemn end; he showed off delicate vocals during his songs “Lost Cause”
and “Morning.”
DAY 2 For the second day, the festival opened at noon to make time for the 10 acts slated to perform. The first standout performance of the day came from Danish singer-songwriter MØ, a stage name for Karen Marie Ørsted, which means “maiden” or “virgin” in Danish. From crowd surfing during the song “Lean On,” her hit collaboration with Major Lazer and DJ Snake, to her one-of-a-kind gyrating, posing and mannerisms throughout her 40-minute set, MØ proved to be the most energetic and intriguing performer of the day. Hip-hop group Run the Jewels subsequently gave a bass-heavy performance that energized the crowd at first, but soon fell flat with similar beats and indistinguishable
vocals. Tove Lo, who rose to prominence on the heels of her song “Habits (Stay High),” riffed off her usual pop vocals and flashed the crowd during her song “Talking Body” before saying, “I know I just met you, but you give me some and I’ll give you some.” As the sun began to set, the Red Stage was transformed into a mystical acid trip of sorts with giant inflatable fruit lying in front of a colorful cosmic backdrop. It was the perfect setup for eccentric electropop singer Marina and the Diamonds, who gracefully danced around the stage. The bubbly beats of Froot, Marina’s new album, gave the Welsh performer a chance to display her incredible range as she extended to angelic high notes in one song and delved into her rich alto voice in the next. “Radioactive”and “How to Be a Heartbreaker,” two dance-oriented tracks from Marina’s second studio album Electra Heart, closed the set with an explosion of
energy. Switching Marina’s pop style for an alternative-rock sound, St. Vincent – dressed in all black with a white guitar – took the adjacent stage with a jarring aura of confidence. The indie rock artist, whose self-titled album won the 2015 Grammy for Best Alternative Album, seamlessly navigated through her set with impressive vocals and masterful guitar solos. One of the most memorable moments of the hourlong set came during the song “Cruel,”when St. Vincent held onto a note for over ten seconds during a guitar solo, eliciting raucous shouts from one of the biggest, most diverse crowds of the three-day affair.

Terps claim regional title Pitching success lifts Szefc’s squad to another weekend By Kyle Stackpole @kylefstackpole Staff writer After UCLA plated its first run in the seventh inning of Monday night’s Los Angeles Regional final at Jackie Robinson Stadium, Terrapins baseball right-hander Kevin Mooney dealt with a lively opposing crowd. With the Terps clinging to a one-run lead, the nation’s top seed had the tying run at second and the go-ahead run at first with one out. “They had been fairly quiet the whole game,” Mooney said. “Then I give up a run and a couple base runners, and they really picked up the intensity.” But with his team’s lead in jeopardy, the Terps’ alltime saves leader buckled down, striking out the next two hitters to end the threat. Two innings later, Mooney’s teammates mobbed him near the mound as the No. 3-seed Terps earned a 2-1 win and a second straight — and second in program history — apperance in the Super Regionals. Mooney’s performance on the hill — he pitched three scoreless innings and had five strikeouts — epitomized the success of the entire pitching staff throughout the regional. The Terps held their opponents to a combined seven runs in four games. “This regional win is a tremendous win for our program as we try to reach and stay at the national level,” coach John Szefc said. “It’s also important for our state as we try to grow baseball in the state of Maryland.” Right-hander Mike Shawaryn, the Terps’ ace, set the tone on the rubber in Friday
night’s tournament opener against No. 2-seed Ole Miss by throwing 5.1 innings of one-run ball. Eve n wh e n t h e f i rs t team All-American lost his command — Shawaryn issued three straight walks with the Terps up 3-0 in the sixth — the bullpen continued to stifle the Rebels’ offense. Left-hander Robert Galligan walked in a run, which was charged to Shawaryn, but the Terps’ three relief pitchers did not allow a hit in the team’s 3-1 victory. “That last inning, it kind of got away from me,” Shawaryn said Friday. “But I had trust in [associate head coach Jim] Belanger and our whole bullpen to get the job done.” The Terps’ relievers delivered again Saturday night against UCLA after righthander Brian Shaffer left the game after two innings due to forearm discomfort. Right-hander Bobby Ruse, who entered the game with a plus-six ERA, replaced Shaffer in the third inning and delivered 1.2 scoreless innings. Galligan followed by shutting out the Bruins in 4.1 innings and retiring 11 straight batters during a stretch. With a three-run lead — the Terps scored two runs in the second and third innings — Mooney came in to pitch the ninth. The 6-foot-1 junior used two strikeouts and a flyout to secure a 4-1 win and send his team to the regional final. “You trust those guys to go in and throw strikes all the time, and throw multiple pitches for strikes,” said Belanger, who served as interim head coach for the first two games while Szefc served a suspension. “Whenever
you get in situations where you’re going to be putting guys in early in those middle innings, that’s what you need. You need strike throwers in the game.” While the Terps couldn’t keep UCLA off the scoreboard Sunday night — the Bruins had 13 hits in their 4-2 win — freshman right-hander Taylor Bloom dominated in the winner-take-all contest Monday. Bloom, who entered the contest with four career starts and a 4.55 ERA, allowed one run on one hit over six innings, using just 58 pitches to do so. And when Bloom exited after walking the leadoff batter in the seventh inning, Mooney came in to close out the matchup. The veteran escaped the seventh frame and retired the Bruins in order an inning later, putting the Terps three outs away from a regional crown. But after getting two quick outs in the final frame, Mooney ran into trouble. The Forest Hill native issued a walk before allowing a single, and the Terps were in danger of wasting Bloom’s improbable performance. But similar to his situation in the seventh inning, Mooney ended the game with a strikeout, securing Bloom’s second-career win and setting up a Super Regionals rematch with No. 3-seed Virginia this weekend. “You’re talking about a true freshman pitching against the No. 1 team in the country in the regional championship game at their place,” Szefc said of Bloom’s outing Monday. “I’ll just leave it at that.” kstackpoledbk@gmail.com
defender casey ikeda falls while guarding Denver midfielder Erik Adamson during the No. 6-seed Terps’ 10-5 loss to the No. 4-seed Pioneers on May 25 at Lincoln Financial Field. The Terps relied on their defense for most of the season. christian jenkins/the diamondback
drought From PAGE 8 Midfielder Joe LoCascio provided bursts of scoring at times, and midfielder Bryan Cole became more of an offensive presence toward the end of the season — he scored four goals and added an assist in the Terps’ 14-7 win over No. 3-seed North Carolina in the NCAA quarterfinals. Still, the Terps were known more for their defense. Going i n to a n ea rly Ap r i l b o u t against Loyola, they sported a 4.8 goals against average and were on pace to have the second-best scoring defense in the history of NCAA-era lacrosse. With defenders Casey Ikeda and Matt Dunn clogging holes and directing traffic, the Terps stifled prolific attacks. “We all take pride in individual matchups when we’re on the ball,” Dunn said. “But everybody else off the ball also is ready for the team style defense where we know we can
trust in each other, to support each other.” Goalkeeper Kyle Bernlohr, who earned the Kelly Award for the nation’s best goalkeeper after sitting behind fo r m e r n e t m i n d e r N i ko Amato for three years, finished the season with the sixth highest save percentage (.571) in the country. The Terps started out this year’s campaign with an 8-1 rout of Navy on Feb. 14, and after losing to Yale the following week, the team outscored opponents, 123-64, during an 11-game winning streak that spanned most of the season. As the national tournament approached, though, the Terps struggled as Raffa battled injury troubles amid physical play from opponents. The senior took just three draws in the Terps’ April 30 loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten semifinals. “The defining moment for us was if we were going to play Charlie against Ohio State,” Tillman said May 20.
“We made a decision to limit Charlie in that game. And it’s, to be honest, probably the most important decision we made all year.” In the national semifinal May 23, Raffa went 14-for-26 as the Terps held a blistering Johns Hopkins team to its lowest goal total in seven games. “We felt like if we played good defense, people wouldn’t pull away from us,” Tillman said. “And then we just had [to] scheme, maybe use picks and shoot smart.” But playing in front of a packed crowd full of alumni and loyal fans, the Terps had no where to turn offensively as Berg and Cannizzaro handed the Terps their eighth finals loss since 1975. “I just didn’t do a good enough job getting it done for the kids,” Tillman said. “That’s probably the hardest thing for me because these kids made so many sacrifices, and I just didn’t get them there.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

LIVING UP TO THE HYPE Reese’s squad defends national championship
By Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Staff writer When the April edition of Inside Lacrosse was released, Terrapins women’s lacrosse coach Cathy Reese held a team meeting to address the magazine’s headline story. Featured on the cover was a photo of attacker Brooke Griffin, defenders Megan Douty and Alice Mercer plus midfielders Kelly McPartland and Taylor Cummings. Positioned in bold capital letters below the players’ faces was an even bolder question: “Best Team Ever?” Reese wanted to alleviate the added pressure on the nation’s preseason favorite to repeat as national champions. “It’s not about being the best team ever,” Reese told her players amid their undefeated regular-season slate. “It’s about being the best team we can be.” But by the end of the season, Reese’s squad made a case for living up to the headline

The No. 1-seed Terps beat No. 2-seed North Carolina, 9-8, in the finals by completing the largest comeback effort in NCAA championship history after trailing 6-3 at the half. To reach the title game, the Terps had to defeat a one-loss Massachusetts team, No. 8-seed Northwestern and No. 4-seed Syracuse. The Terps posted a 6.5 goal average margin of victory in the tournament. “We had a tough run to get to the championship, [but] we’re not going to say it when See hype, Page 3

On May 24, 2014, Connor Cannizzaro walked off the M&T Bank Stadium field with his Terrapins men’s lacrosse teammates after falling to Notre Dame in the NCAA semifinal. One year later, the No. 6-seed Terps’ season ended with another sulking walk to the locker room after a 10-5 defeat to No. 4-seed Denver in the NCAA title game. This time, though, Cannizzaro celebrated Denver’s first national title in program history as his former teammates endured heartbreak. After transferring to the Pioneers in the offseason, the midfielder combined with star attackman Welsey Berg to spearhead a prolific Denver offense. In 2015, the Terps rode a strong defensive unit and occasional dominance from faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa to the brink of a title. But the Terps’ absence of a dominant scorer ultimately hampered their pursuit to snap the program’s 40-year championship drought. “We weren’t the fastest team,” coach John Tillman said. “Looking at the way we were going to be successful, we were going to have to really

After going into halftime facing a 5-3 deficit, the Terps surrendered the first three goals of the second half and couldn’t mount a comeback. By contrast, Berg, who combined with Cannizzaro to score 115 goals this year, scored three of the first four goals in the championship
to outduel the Terps’ balanced attack. “I kind of like how we have different scorers,” Carlson said. “There’s not really one or two players you can really shut off without another one stepping up.” With Cannizzaro’s departure, Tillman lured former Syracuse attackman Dylan Maltz to this university in hopes of hiding some of Cannizzaro’s lost offensive production. But Maltz finished with just 11 goals. See drought, Page 7
