Leaders break ground on Berwyn apartments Officials hope development will help to attract more graduate students, professionals to area By Mark Boyle and Carly Kempler @thedbk, @CarlyKempler Senior staff writers Community leaders gathered Tuesday morning on Berwyn House Road to officially launch the latest development in the University District Vision 2020 — a new, market-rate luxury apartment building. Vision 2020 is an initiative between the City of College Park and the University of Maryland to transform the city into a top 20 college town, according to the College Park CityUniversity Partnership website. This 275-unit building, which is

being developed by Wood Partners, is located on the 4700 block of Berwyn House Road and is another step toward that vision, said Maryland state Sen. Jim Rosapepe. These apartments will hopefully build a more “dynamic” college town by attracting more graduates and other professionals to the area, said Rosapepe, who is also a chair of the partnership. “It’s about professors, it’s about staff, it’s about researchers, it’s about recent graduates, it’s about retirees, it’s about a diverse community,” Rosapepe said. “And over time, the COLLEGE PARK MAYOR PATRICK WOJAHN, left, and Maryland state Sen. James Rosapepe, center, join other dignitaries to officially break ground on a See BERWYN, Page 2 275-unit market-rate luxury apartment complex located on Berwyn House Road being developed by Wood Partners. mark boyle/for the diamondback

MONUMENTAL COLLABORATION TOWN HALL LIQUORS began accepting credit cards on May 8 and introduced new flavors after a change in ownership that week. file photo/the diamondback

Town Hall accepting credit cards Under new ownership, lounge and liquor store will offer new flavors By Naomi Grant @NaomiGrant7464 Staff writer Town Hall Liquors, located on Route 1 across from The Varsity, started accepting credit cards on May 8 after changing ownership earlier that week. The bar and liquor store had been on the market for a few years, bartender William Key said, and the credit card system was implemented just days after the new management took over. “We had the issue before in the past where people would come in, find out that it’s cash only and that would deter them from purchasing liquor,” Key said. In addition to taking credit cards, the bar and liquor store will introduce new flavors of Cîroc, Smirnoff and Crown Royal brand liquors, Key said. Lucas Scott, a 2016 University of Maryland alumnus, said as a student, he would go to Town Hall about twice a month. “It was just with our small group of five to six people,” Scott said. “I think the appeal was somewhere we could talk, it was quiet.” He said the cash-only policy was personally not an inconvenience to him because of the ATM there. Many of the people who frequent Town Hall, especially during the day, are not students from this university, Key said. However, he noted Wednesday nights have become popular with graduate students, while Friday nights are popular with both undergraduate and graduate students.

director, and three other University of California professors. The study will look at different aspects of the Asian American experience — such as racial discrimination, their thoughts on the presidential election and civic engagement — before the 2016 presidential election. Wong, the only East Coast representative on the team of researchers, said this study will combat the lack of data on Asian Americans, who are projected to be the thirdfastest-growing racial group in the

United States, according to Pew Research Center. “We will find out a lot more about their attitudes towards different policies,” Wong said. For example, there is a misconception that Asian Americans are conservative on tax policies, Wong said. Most people don’t know that Asian Americans are generally pro-gun control, she added. “That’s just something, you know, you don’t hear a lot about,” Wong said. “[Asian Americans are] sort of invisible when it comes to those kinds of issues. And yet they look very distinct from the U.S. population.” The survey will be conducted in

two waves. The first will focus on the presidential election, civic engagement and issue preferences. The second wave will review racial discrimination, attitudes between d i fferent g roups a nd attitudes toward social justice, such as Black Lives Matter, Wong said. She said the surveys will be sent to groups in every state and will be weighted based on the results. T he study w ill be conducted through surveys sent out in 11 different languages, which is unusual, Wong said. The languages include English, Spanish, and nine Asian lanSee STUDY, Page 2

It is slated to open in fall 2017, according to Wood Partners’ website. Wood Pa rtners beca me i nte re s te d i n t h i s p roperty because of the current “momentu m” in the city, said Scott Zimmerly, Wood Partners’ director of the midAtlantic region. “Col lege Pa rk has been changing in great ways every year, particularly the last ten years, as evidence with the new four-star hotel right down the street from us,” Zimmerly said, referencing

The Hotel at the University of Maryland on Route 1. “We saw what Kevin Plank was doing, investing back in the school; we see Oculus being involved, and we saw there wasn’t a lot of market-rate apartments — not just for the university, but for College Park.” In addition, the building’s short distance to the university and to other local amenities will help to reduce traffic along Route 1, said Eric Olson, the partnership’s executive director. Mayor Patrick Wojahn agreed, stating that the project fits in with the city’s goal to remain “smart and sustainable,” especially in terms of transportation. “We would like to see more people affiliated with the university [who are] living closer to the u n iversity,” Olson said. “People will walk and bike and take the bus to the

university and to work. … It helps the economy because more people living here will be shopping and eating and spending money in College Park, not taking it out of this jurisdiction.” This project, which is also a silver-certified National Green Building Standard — the standard accounts for site development, water conservation, energy conservation, resource conservation, indoor air quality and building operation and maintenance — was originally proposed a few years ago, Dameron said. He added the building will also include a small retail space, though the retailer has not yet been determined. “We want to answer … the residential needs of every-

one in the College Park community,” Dameron said. “We are specifically targeting folks that are being attracted to the M Square Research Park, as well as adjunct professors and grad students here in the community.” T he lu x u r y ap a r t m e nt building is an important component to an innovative ecosystem of this city, said Ken Ulman, the chief economic development strategist for the University of Maryland College Park Foundation. “I n a few yea rs p eople will say College Park in the same breath that they say the great university town for this country,” Ulman said. newsumdbk@gmail.com, ckemplerdbk@gmail.com

From PAGE 1 co-published biennial book prize for a n u npubl ished manuscript and a new cosponsored music series, according to a Diamondback article. “This art is reminiscent of the Russian Constructivist piece by architect Vladimir Tatlin, as well as Dan Flavin, who is an artist from New York who belonged to the Minimalist movement and used neon lights for all his sculptures,” Sretenovic said. The sculptures range from 5 feet to 12 feet tall and will be paired with works from the permanent collection including Naum Gabo’s Linear Structure in Space No. 1, as well as black and white photos f rom t he 1930s to 1940s by Berenice Abbott, Louis Faurer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Gjon Mill and Brett Weston, according to the news release. Sculptures are a great way for students to get inspired and understand the world in different ways, said David Cronrath, this university’s architecture school dean. “By having University of Maryland’s students have an opportunity to see some of the best sculpture in visual arts, in the world. … They will have a greater understanding of the world around them and they’ll rub up against ideas that are broader than their own, and therefore broader their perspective,” he said. Un ive rsit y s p oke sm a n Brian Ullmann agreed that because The Phillips Collection is interested in presenting art that combines disciplines, it can create more of a learning experience for the university’s students, he said. “The current exhibit that is going to open up this week is a good example of something that is art but draws on architecture,” Ullmann said. “What an opportunity for our architectural students to go there and to see how architecture blends with art.” This partnership allows

1) The epic montage of basketball scenes that plays in the second half. You know this one. This is the, “AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE CONTROL THE TEMPO OF THE GAME” hype video. It's a beautiful piece of production and, if anything, should be used more. Like, during every TV timeout. Or maybe just have it run on a continuous loop from tip-off to the final whistle. There's always room for more Coach Carter. 2 ) T h e “… a n d I h a v e

Maryland Pride” video. Ah, yes — this one gets the College Park faithful all sorts of riled up. Full of cameos from the l i kes of Ju a n D i xon, D ez Wells and Gary Williams, a mon g m a ny ot hers, t he famous ex-Maryland athletes a nd coaches a re show n i n t ro d u c i n g t h e m s e l v e s before triumphantly adding, “And I have Maryland Pride.” It's powerful, and the visiting tea m def i n itely sta r ts to question whether they can have a sliver of Maryland Pride, too. It makes you feel like — if you are unfortunate enough to not have Maryland Pride — your life will end up as some sort of complete failure. 3) The logo-smashing short featuring Testudo. A secondhalf staple that, like Kansas' Perry Ellis, will never get old. Watching Testudo destroy/ stomp out/beat down another college's logo in creative ways is the perfect way to start a matchup's last 20 minutes. 4) Screaming at a guy who air balled, even if he's scored 12 points since or he actually last air balled in 2013. Air balls don't have an expiration date. Reminding the kid about his mistake the millisecond the ball touches his hands should be as mandatory as showing your ticket to enter the student section. 5) Flash mobs. As long as they're only employed once a season (so as to preserve their meaning and the anticipation behind them), flash mobs are an excellent way for Maryland supporters to distinguish themselves from other revered crowds. That, plus watching kids from all over the country Dab in unison, make them worth the planning and practicing.

WHAT SHOULD GO

1) T he u n f u rl i ng of the Maryland flag. Unpopular opinion alert: Dramatically rol l i ng the f lag dow n the Xfinity Center wall is a tradition that needs to change. It can be fun once or twice, at most. But after that, it becomes a chore. It's hot under there, and it can get pretty smel ly, too, a nd it always feels like the flag is left on top of the students beneath it a bit longer than it was the time before. The simple solution here would be to break this out only for the most premier contests (is it really necessary to do this when the wall is half full and the Terps are up by 33 on Sam Houston State, for example?). That way, it feels less like an obligation and more like a special occasion. 2) “You can't do that.” This was sort of funny in middle school. 3) U n o r g a n i z e d c h a o s during opposing free throws. This is an area where a little togetherness would go a long way. I nstead of everyone going with their own, individual distraction technique like intense arm-waving or repetitive chair-pounding, performing a group skit or move would look cooler and perhaps be more effective. Stag i ng a bi rth, for instance? That is brilliant. Do you think a scrub center from M i n nesota wou ld be able to sink two from the stripe if a few sophomore biology m a j o r s w e re b e h i n d t h e basket, say, reenacting the scene from Lion King where Simba is hoisted to the sky? Of course he wouldn't. Just like Melo Trimble needs to work on his long-range shooting this offseason, Maryland students could stand to better phaileydbk@gmail.com

Treat Trump fairly

For police, transparency is key Almost three weeks ago, the University of Maryland Police Department used force to break up a party at the Courtyards apartments. The incident, which involved mostly black graduates and partygoers, escalated when police used pepper spray twice. The campus community reacted swiftly, condemning the use of force and drawing parallels between this incident and other instances of racial bias from police departments nationwide. In the immediate aftermath, both University Police and university President Wallace Loh addressed the situation with urgency. In the days after the incident, the police department released two statements, but details leading up to the use of pepper spray remain largely unseen, except for a few personal videos posted to Snapchat and Twitter. More than two weeks later, University Police still have not released body camera footage, though they have indicated footage will be made public at the end of the ongoing investigation. And it is the investigation that draws some concern. While this editorial board applauds University Police for their swift response and move toward transparency, we wonder how transparent an internal review process can be. No college student, or even average citizen, could completely understand the nuance and delicacy involved in reviewing a sensitive and important incident. We are not police officers.

casey Kammerle

But that’s the point. In the current social climate, it’s all too easy to mistrust what is unknown. Again and again, from Baltimore to OUR VIEW

This university’s police investigations should be conducted independently and transparently. Ferguson, Missouri, we’ve seen verdicts we don’t agree with and can’t understand. That’s why transparency is crucial. When a student or College Park resident files a complaint about a University Police officer, the current review process is handled by someone within the department. Michael Weller, the department’s current internal affairs coordinator, has expressed University Police’s dedication to remaining transparent. “A lot of people think that police aren’t going to police themselves, and that’s why I have this job right here,” Weller told The Diamondback in May. “The case is that if there’s some type of [police] misconduct, whatever that may be, we need to get that dealt with as soon as possible.” And while the complaint process is presumably reliable, the review still comes from within. The same goes for the current investigation into the pepper

spray incident. It will take up to 30 days, during which the police will not be issuing any statements or speaking with the media, police spokeswoman Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas told The Diamondback. Thirty days is a long time to be kept in the dark. In a 2014 study of more than 300 police departments across the country, a San Diego State University researcher found that departments affiliated with a third-party review boards, such as those facilitated by the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, are more likely to have higher transparency ratings. The study found that departments with policy information clearly presented online increased their transparency rating as well. By partnering with a nonprofit such as the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, University Police could ensure greater accountability and secure trust from the people they protect and serve. Additionally, the department could prominently display use of force policy and training requirements online not only to inform the public but also to hold its own officers accountable to official policy. While the board is inclined to trust our police department to do a thorough and fair investigation, we believe two statements and a promise are not enough to put the student population at ease, given the social context.

re s u m p t ive Re p u b l i c a n presidential nominee Donald Trump has never been one to keep his criticisms to himself. There is certainly no exception when it comes to Trump’s anger with media outlets and reporters. Throughout his campaign, Trump’s outlandish comments have made him one of the most talked-about public figures in 2016, landing him on countless covers and headlines on a daily basis. This is only helping to fuel his fiery campaign and his personality, and the media has been of no assistance in derailing the Trump train. Few major news outlets favor Trump, as is clearly evidenced by their coverage of him. But in an era with a 24-hour news cycle flooding the internet, television and print media, such harshness by the press is doing more harm than good. Though news outlets typically have slight political leanings, the amount of bias shown by the press is unprecedented and has no place in our news cycle, which is meant to be informative rather than critical. At m a ny o f h i s n u m e ro u s rallies and press conferences, Trump criticizes the media for its portrayal of him. On Tuesday morning, Trump was more vocal

than ever about the issue. Trump called the press “dishonest” and “disgusting,” and said that “the press should be ashamed of themselves. I have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job.” He used the media’s harassment to prove that he was donating money to veterans, with many reporters claiming he was using them as political pawns. Trump proceeded to report to the press all the donations he made, totaling several million dollars. The media also reported low attendance at Trump’s Memorial Day rally, though in reality there was a limit on the number of people permitted for entry. Trump’s ridiculous and often offensive comments merit scrutiny, but the media should report these comments without layering on even more hate. Once he accepts the nomination in July, it is likely that Trump will have to tone down his campaign rhetoric. Sen. Mitch McConnell has called on Trump to be more “boring.” This will be a necessary step if Trump hopes to win in November, but even if he does soften his tone, I still believe the media will take every chance they’re given to take shots at the billionaire.

GUEST COLUMN

Breaking the STEM glass ceiling Women have made many influential discoveries, including the discovery of the breast cancer gene, the X-ray crystallography characterization method, HIV treatments and many more. Without the contributions of women, humanity could be suffering more greatly from AIDS, have no leads in a cure for breast cancer and would possibly have to utilize antiquated and time-consuming methods to characterize compounds. These scientific discoveries prove that women have the ability to succeed in these fields and further indicate that there is no cognitive disparity between men and women in these particular areas. Thus, filling the gender gap in STEM and increasing the amount of female scientists and mathematicians would actually be helpful for scientific development. Unfortunately, women are underrepresented in STEM in the U.S., with no exceptions at the University of Maryland. The largest gender gap exists in engineering, and In both the U.S. and at this university, women make up less than 25 percent of the undergraduates majoring in engineering. When I inform men that I am majoring in chemistry, they simply nod their heads and move on, but when I inform women, they dwell on it, exclaiming, “Wow, that is exceedingly difficult! I could never be able to do that.” Because it is so uncommon for women to major in the so-called hard sciences, many women view doing so as a task that is too difficult for females to manage. Therefore, when they hear of a woman majoring in one of these sciences, they can hardly believe it. I personally have experienced these feelings as well. Very often when I figure out a difficult problem,men in my study group will not believe I did it correctly until another man in our study group comes to the same conclusion. However, if a man initially solves the problem, the

other men will immediately trust his answer and ask him to explain it. This gender bias against women has caused women to feel that they are not capable academically, and accordingly, women become too scared to pursue a hard science career. While some think that there is no bias in STEM, and is therefore not the cause of the lack of women in STEM fields, they are in fact mistaken. All who are in denial were effectively proven wrong by many studies, including the famous doubleblind study conducted by Corinne MossRacusin in which science faculty at six major research institutions were asked to rate application materials in terms of which applicants were most competent and employable. When presented with identical resumes of two imaginary applicants, one female and one male, all faculty members were more willing to offer the job to the male applicant. Superficially, the gender bias exists because there are not enough women making great strides in STEM. Engineering is still only 13 percent female, and only 25 percent of computer and mathematical scientists are women in the U.S. No wonder there is a bias today: How could people not favor men when the only people in their fields are of this sex? This issue is directly related to college students, since there are significantly less women pursuing engineering degrees than men. While this university actually boasts 23 percent of female engineering undergraduates to the measly 18 to 20 percent nationally, there is still a hugely uneven distribution between male and female engineering majors. The lack of women in engineering in the U.S. is the reason why women make up only 7.8 percent of the electrical and computer engineering professors at the university. Individuals need role models,

and there are very few role models for women in engineering. Therefore, women do not have anyone they can connect with and emulate and are thus not pursuing careers in engineering. Role models serve as invididuals to learn from, and having positive role models can heavily influence students, especially in their early classes. According to a study conducted at Rutgers University, women experience a lack of role models in STEM fields. There are significantly more male teachers and professors in STEM fields than females, and women are not perceiving the male professors as role models. In this study, women were less likely to relate to male role models, such as professors, as relevant role models and were more likely to consider the field of study with a male professor to be less female oriented. However, when women in STEM were presented with a female professor, they were more likely to view the field of study as women-oriented. Therefore this university needs to hire more female professors and raise the low percentage of women professors up to 50 percent. The gender bias can only be resolved if there is an increase in the number of women in these fields and the participation of women becomes normalized. The best way to accomplish this is to empower and encourage women to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, this university needs to make it a part of its mission to encourage and support women in their pursuit of majoring in STEM fields. In addition to providing students with classes and teachers, this university needs to guide and encourage its students. Sally Aviva Mazurek is a senior chemistry major.

he presumptive nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, are massively unpopular with the American public. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll showed that 57 percentof registered voters v i ewe d Tr u m p a n d C l i n to n unfavorably. As a result, the media has been giving significant attention to Gary Johnson, the nominee of the Libertarian Party, who has polled at 10 and 11 percent. This is significant given that in the 2012 presidential election Johnson received about 1 percent of the vote. Libertarians tend to be misunderstood and are often referred to as “Republican lite” or “Hipster Republicans.” Libertarians are concerned with preserving the utmost liberty or freedom for the individual and typically think that big government decreases an individual’s liberty. According to the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University, libertarians have multiple viewpoints but “are all united by a belief in personal liberty, economic freedom, and a skepticism of government power.” Libertarians tend to not be taken seriously because their political positions are seen as unfeasible. For instance, Johnson advocates the elimination of the Department of Education. Johnson’s libertarian ideology stems from the belief that federal interference discourages “innovation, freedom and flexibility,” according to his website. To be fair to Johnson and libertarians, it is important to remember that every political party has politicians who advocate for unfeasible policies. For instance, it is unrealistic that Sen. Bernie Sanders could provide free tuition and “Medicare for all,” or that Trump could deport every undocumented immigrant in the country.

Due to a significant amount of dissatisfied voters, there is speculation about the type of voters that could vote for Johnson in the general election. Although Johnson appeals to liberals on issues of civil liberties and foreign policy, he divides them on economic policy and the role of the federal government. Unlike Johnson and libertarians, liberals are for the increased role of the federal government, particularly concerning social and economic equality. Thus, assuming Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, it is highly unlikely that Sanders’ supporters would vote for Johnson because of the two groups’ contrasting viewpoints in the role of the federal government. However, Johnson has an opportunity to gain votes from dissatisfied conservatives. Conservatives that either identify as libertarians or are libertarian-leaning can be described as socially liberal and fiscally conservative. In 2013, the Public Religion Research Institute found that 7 percent of Americans are “consistent libertarians, and an additional 15 percent lean libertarian.” Furthermore, 45 percent of libertarians identify as Republican while 35 percent identify as independents. David Boaz of the libertarian think tank Cato Institute recently commented that Johnson is an alternative for conservatives to Trump and Clinton because of his fiscally conservative and socially liberal platform. The future of the Republican Party remains uncertain. If the GOP hopes to survive, it must adapt to the changing demographics of the American landscape by embracing a socially liberal and fiscally conservative platform. Therefore, the GOP could win elections by appealing to libertarians, conservatives and moderates. Leslie McNamara is a public policy graduate student specializing in health policy.

LASTING IMPACT | THE TRUMAN SHOW

REALITY CHECK The Truman Show and 18 years of questioning everything

the truman show not only served as a surprising display of Jim Carrey’s previously unseen nuanced dramatic acting ability but it also led to some unconventional thoughts on themes deeper than those usually explored by a comedy. By Maeve Dunigan @maevedunigan Staff writer “We accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented, it’s as simple as that.” Ironically, there has never been much reality involved in reality television. Conversations are never as genuine when people know they’re being watched through a cam era l en s. A sp e c ts o f everyday life are muddled when television crews have to s e t u p s h o p a n d c a l l “action.” But what if reality television actually mimicked reality? What if your entire p e rce p t i o n o f yo u r ow n reality was a lie? Armed with a mix of

absurdly extreme satire, genuinely dark fiction and a superb performance by Jim Carrey, The Truman Show begs both of those questions and more. Eighteen years ago, The Truman Show proved that Carrey’s comedy was well equipped for a more dramatic turn. He had been a part of blockbusters in the realm of silly physicality, including the cult classics Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. These movies were a journey of facial expressions and falling down, and Carrey proved a master of his craft. However, it wasn’t until The Truman Show that Carrey was able to solidify his place not only as a pratfall connoisseur but also as an actor with a grasp

of emotion well suited for deeper themes. The film follows Truman Burbank, a delightful everyman who since birth has been part of a worldwide reality television phenomenon covering his every move, aptly titled “The Truman Show.” Each aspect of Truman’s life is staged; his wife and friends are all actors paid to manipulate and foster his reality. As the first orphan to be adopted and raised by a corporation, Truman is made to spend his entire life living inside of an enormous television studio equipped with hundreds of cameras. It’s the happiest nightmare imaginable. Contentment is easy to come by in a world where safety is guaranteed and the pleasures of every-

day American life are in full supply. But the minute the nature of these simple pleasures are questioned, contentment spirals into unease. Age n cy ove r t h o u g h t , emotion and perception is an aspect of life so natural it’s easy to forget about. Co n s i d e r i n g t h e n o t i o n that someone watching your every move was manipulating this agency could drive a person insane. When Truman realizes everything he thought was real could be an elaborate lie, he’s forced to try to break free from the strings working to puppeteer his life. It’s a surprisingly unsettling concept for a comedy-drama, but The Truman Show is able to pull it off. Maybe it’s because there

is laughably little explanation for many aspects of the film’s plot. Almost everyone in this dystopian future is s o m e h ow f i n e w i t h t h e notion that a person can be co-opted by a corporation. The actors in The Truman Show are naive enough to knowingly commit to living in a faux community for the rest of their foreseeable future. A fully functioning television studio and archaeological dome comparable in size to the Great Wall of China is built for the sole purpose of reality TV. Even through the obviously stretched farce and satire involved in aspects of the film’s world, it’s impossible to avoid thinking, if only for a second, what if what’s happening to Truman is cur-

rently happening to me? This question can keep The Truman Show floating around in any viewer’s heads for longer than anticipated. It’s a question with seemingly unbound relevance, enabling The Truman Show to remain a beloved and fascinating satire 18 years later. The Truman Show is simultaneously 103 minutes of simple PG comedic entertainment and a 100-page thesis on existentialism, simulated reality and consumer culture. The Truman Show can make you question anything, even a greeting as simple as “Good morning, a n d i n c a s e I d o n ’t s e e ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!” mdunigandbk@gmail.com

REVIEW | THE STROKES’ FUTURE PAST PRESENT MORE ONLINE

TIMe warp The iconic alt-rock band’s new EP doesn’t make waves but succeeds with the gratifying guitar rhythms we’ve come to expect

ByAnna Muckerman @annamuckerman Staff writer Whip out your dark shades, leather jacket and unrevealing smile because The Strokes are back. In the group’s first release since 2013’s “Comedown Machine,” the indie garage rock band does nothing more than what’s made it timeless: headnodding rhythms and gritty guitar that screams “I’m edgy enough to like The Strokes.” Future Present Past is the perfect three-songs-and-aremix collection to deep cleanse from sugary pop without giving up summer vibes. While far from revolutionary, or even experimental, Future Present Past captures the essence of The Strokes’s “too-cool” attitude. “Drag Queen” enters with an almost foreboding guitar line that begs to be paired with a high-speed chase and tinted windows. Julian Casablancas’ signature muddied, distorted vocals are

darker and more topical than the instrumental suggests. “Jail, that’s what you get / Stepping to the system,” he sings. “Profiting from war / Fighting as the victim.” “Threat of Joy” puts the lyric-music dynamic on its head, switching the pace to a lighter, swinging melody reminiscent of “Is This I,t“ “Someday” and “Soma.” Casablancas turns the conversation to his personal life, his wife and struggles as an older man with more responsibilities. “That’s how it goes, I guess,” he opens with a twinge of bitterness. “F--- the rest. Be right there honey!” But you can hardly catch his angst underneath the bright guitar pop that slows down the racing EP and shines as the laid-back, cheery standout. Future Past Present’s downfall is The Strokes’ decision to play it safe. “Drag Queen” runs into “OBLIVIUS,” a slightly faster, more dance-y version of its predecessor. Each song

could fit perfectly on any of The Strokes’ early 2000s releases. While modern music has shifted, this EP refuses to venture out of the vague lyrics and angry bass that marked the group’s rise to popularity in the golden era of alt-rock. While met expectations make it easy to settle into the songs, it’s hard not to wonder what the band could create with a little creative push, and how long they can stay relevant with an approach of satisfying predictability. Or could giving the people what they want be the smartest way to extend an aging band’s shelf life? After all, new releases by classic rock bands are bypassed even by younger fans for hits that will live on indefinitely. Maybe old-sounding Strokes is simply the best “new” Strokes. In that case, Future Past Present gives us a refreshing way to relive the glory days. amuckermandbk@gmail.com

roundup From PAGE 8 native averaged 5.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game.

FRESHMEN ALL-AMERICANS Collegiate Baseball Newspaper named Maryland second baseman Nick Dunn and outfielder Marty Costes to this season’s Louisville Slugger Freshman AllAmerican team. At least one Terps player has received this honor the past three seasons. Righthander Mike Shawaryn and fo r m e r s e c o n d b a s e m a n B ra n d o n L owe m a d e t h e squad in 2014 while shortstop Kevin Smith was selected last year. Dunn’s impact began immediately upon arriving in College Park, as the Sunbury, Pennsylvania, native started the Terps’ home opener and the 56 games that followed. His .300 bating average was

the highest of any player with at least 50 at bats, and he also led the team with 68 hits and 16 doubles. Costes, meanwhile, was the designated hitter and hit seventh in his first start of the season Feb. 27 against Rhode Island. The Baltimore native, who also saw time in the outfield, hit just .263 but led the Terps with nine home runs and 37 RBIs. Both players will likely play significant roles next s ea s o n a s M a r yl a n d a t tempts to return to the NCAA Tournament.

FRESE HIRES GLOWACKI

last season, he served as the head manager. “Coach Frese has established a program that is the gold standard in women’s basketball and to be a part of it is a dream come true for me,” Glowacki said in a release. “I know that the entire staff is deeply committed to success – for our players, for the program and for the University.” Glowacki replaces former D i re c to r o f Re c r u i t i n g Operations Audrey Cunningham, who took an assistant coaching position at Stony Brook in May. He’ll be tasked with following up the Terps’ top-ranked 2016 recruiting class. “ Jo e h a s c o m p l e te ly ea r n e d t h i s p o s i t i o n ,” Frese said in a release. “From the first day we met Joe, he’s always been about the program and willing to do whatever is needed. We’re really happy to keep him around.”

Maryland women’s basketball coach Brenda Frese hired former student manager Joe Glowacki as the director of recruiting operations, according to a release yesterday. Glowacki, who graduated from this university with a bachelor’s degree in English in May, has been with the Terps throughout his time in College Park. As a senior jschmidtdbk@gmail.com

Maybe it was a slow start from pitchi n g so mu ch l a s t ye a r or something, but he figured it out like you want to see a starting pitcher do down the stretch.” Still, Shawaryn’s latest campaign left doubt with MLB scouts. Sakowski said a lot of scouts believe Shawaryn’s arm slot d ropped i n 2016, ma k i ng some believe he would be better fit as a reliever. Pitchers who throw at a lower arm slot, scouts said, are less likely to hold up for more than 200 innings in a season. W hile some scouts said this is a minor fix, others suspect the Carneys Point, New Jersey, native m ight have been hindered by an unannounced injury. Maryland coach John Szefc denied in April that Shawaryn’s arm slot changed. If Shawaryn is viewed by most teams as a reliever, Sakowski predicts the hurler will be selected in the third or fourth rounds. Szefc said it would take time for Shawaryn to get comfortable coming out of the bullpen, but the fourthyear coach remains confident his pitcher will be able to thrive in any role. “If they th in k that he d ropped the a rm slot a little bit … or if it’s something simple like that, that

All it takes is one team to love him.” Scouts who watched Shawaryn pitch at Cal State Fullerton on March 18 said his lower arm slot damaged the command and sharpness of his pitches. Even so, Sakowski said most scouts believe Shawaryn will be able to throw all three of his pitches for strikes in the major leagues. Papio, meanwhile, is an at-

tractive selection due to his athleticism. Sakowski said the Onley native will probably be picked on the third day of the draft. Shawaryn, though, is the Terps’ top prospect. While Szefc said the Terps’ ace is one of the best pitchers in Maryland history, Shawaryn will look to prove he can be a productive starter at the next level. “Good pitching gets guys out regardless of what role t h e y ’ r e i n ,” S z e f c s a i d . “ H e’s a ve r y m e nt a l ly tough guy and he has a lot of physica l ability.

“He’s a big kid,” Sakowski said about Shawaryn. “You look for t h at k i nd of t h i n g. You got to have a lot of streng th, and you got to have a lot of durability in your body to hold up as a starting pitcher at the major league level. Shawaryn fits that mold of a guy that can stand up to those type of innings.” Entering this season, multiple publications tabbed Shawaryn as a first-round selection after holding a 1.71 ER A and striking out 138

batters in 2015. Shawaryn was selected to pitch for the collegiate Team USA last summer, where Brown said he recorded Shawaryn’s fastball at 97 mph. But Shawaryn’s draft stock fell after his ER A increased to 3.18 this season. The junior rebounded in his final two starts, throwing two straight complete games while combining to strike out a combined 22 hitters. See DRAFT, Page 7

The Big Ten on Tuesday recognized Maryland student athletes Anthony Papio and Malina Howard with honors that extended beyond their statistics, whether it be on the diamond or between the lines. Papio, a former outfielder for the Terps baseball team, and Howard, who played on the women’s basketball squad, each received Outstanding Sportsmanship Awards. After joining the Terps as a walkon, Papio ended up playing in and winning the most career games in program history. The two-time Big Ten All-Academic selection also helped coach John Szefc’s team reach back-to-back Super Regionals in 2014 and 2015. Maryland did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament this season, yet Papio continued to produce. The Olney native hit .261 and led the squad in triples (four) and stolen bases (eight). Papio is pursuing a graduate degree in terrorism analysis. Howard, who also won this award last season, earned Academic AllConference honors each of her four seasons in College Park in addition to garnering other accolades for her work in the classroom. The 6-foot4 center won the Elite 89 award last season for having the highest GPA at the Final Four. Last month, she received the Sally Sterling Byrd Award, given to a male and female member of the senior class. On the court, Howard helped the Terps reach consecutive Final Fours and four conference titles. In 28 starts this season, the Twinsburg, Ohio, See ROUNDUP, Page 7

FOOTBALL

Durkin builds strong recruiting class Terps nab multiple players from IMG Academy; Jarrell commits for 2017 Josh Schmidt @joshj_s Staff Writer While many students enjoy their summer breaks away from College Park, the Maryland football team’s coaching staff remains focused on building the program for the future. Coach DJ Durkin and his staff have been recruiting along the East Coast and made a pit stop Monday at one of the satellite camps led by Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, Durkin’s former boss. St. Frances Academy hosted the camp, but Durkin’s staff, along with representatives from at least 15 other colleges, ran drills and worked with nearly 100 local athletes in Patterson Park. Hall of Fame NFL coach Joe Gibbs and current Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh also attended the event. Durkin turned his attention to another satellite camp Wednesday in Upper Marlboro, and he is expected to attend

another Michigan-led camp at Paramus Catholic in New Jersey this weekend. While Durkin won’t be joined by his entire staff for that event, he had plenty of company in Baltimore. By the end of the camp, Durkin’s staff had all arrived to Utz Twardowicz Field, giving the Terps at least 18 sets of eyes on potential future recruits. “It’s our backyard,” Durkin told The Baltimore Sun. “We’re really proud of this area. I know these guys and their families are very proud of this area, so it only makes sense. … This is important. It’s the DMV, and Baltimore is a huge part of that.”

MJ JARRELL COMMITS

157 at his position and No. 186 in the state, according to 247Sports. The commitment from the 6-foot2 wideout from Timber Creek High boosted the Terps’ class of 2017 ranking to 11th in the country, according to Rivals. With Sean Nelson and Carlos Carriere of Georgia in the class, Jarrell is the third wide receiver commit who is 6 feet or taller. Plus, tight end Andrew Park is 6-foot-5, providing future Terps quarterbacks with a big target. Jarrell is also the third recruit in the class to hail from Florida, the state where Durkin spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Gators from 2010 to 2014.
