Dining Services has existing liquor license, just needs approval

By Taylor Swaak @tswaak27 Staff writer A University Athletic Council ad hoc committee met Wednesday night to further discuss a developing initiative to allow the general sale of alcoholic beverages at oncampus athletic events.

The alcoholic beverages committee presented findings gathered from various organizations, including Dining Services, which has a liquor license and is involved in alcohol sales on the campus; the university’s legal affairs office , which offered legal opinion on the matter; the Terrapin Club, a university athletics booster club that raises money for scholarships; and the M Club Foundation, which sought out student-athletes’ opinions regarding having alcohol at games, said Nick Hadley, a physics professor and chairman of both the See alcohol, Page 3

BRIAN BEQUETTE, 1960-2014

From professor to mentor Gemstone leader offered students wealth of knowledge, support

By Katishi Maake @TheHavocRat Staff writer Brian Bequette, a professor in the animal and avian sciences department and well-regarded Gemstone team mentor, died Tuesday at Washington Adventist Hospital after he collapsed earlier in the day. He was 53.

Bequette was born in Red Bud, Illinois, on Dec. 16, 1960, and received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 1983. Over the next seven years, he received his master’s degree from Southern Illinois University and his doctorate from the University of Missouri.

He began teaching as an assistant professor at this university in 2001 after spending 10 years at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, where he conducted “physiological and

metabolic research in lactating and growing ruminants,” according to a profile on the university’s site.

His research at this university examined protein and amino acid nutrition and the use of dietary nutrients by ruminant and nonruminant farm animals. (Ruminant animals have four stomachs, while nonruminant animals have one.) In 2003, Bequette received the Graduate Research Board Award from this university’s graduate school.

Over the course of his academic career, Bequette was published in 47 journal articles and received millions of dollars in research grants and gifts.

Bequette also mentored a group of 12 Gemstone students who are conducting a neuroscience research project that examines the relationship between insulin and Alzheimer’s disease. They call themselves “Team Brain Blast,” and although their project is outside the scope of Bequette’s field, he did everything he could to make sure the team was equipped to succeed, team members said.

“He was pretty critical every step of the way,” said junior finance and supply chain management major Vincent Bennett. “He was more than willing to take on our project and learn with us and put in all that extra work on top of all of the responsibilities of being a mentor, and that was something that I really appreciated and thought was really special about him.”

Scott Carrus works to recruit interested student gardeners

By Joelle Lang @joelleRlang Staff writer

BRIAN BEQUETTE Through his expertise, passion and charisma, he inspired his mentees not only to be better students, but also better individuals, team members said.

“He tried to personally cultivate every individual. He tried to help us all, even in our [personal] lives,” junior community health major Unnati Mehta said. “He got me into the project. The amount of passion he had for it got me so interested in it.”

Bequette was assigned as the team’s mentor the summer after their freshman year. He fostered close relationships with each of his mentees that transcended the typical professor-student relationship.

“He was part father figure because he would be looking out for us,”

Perched on the roof of the South Campus Dining Hall is a garden. It can’t be seen from ground level, and many students don’t know it exists. But for Scott Carrus, it’s a home away from home.

When Carrus transferred to this university from Pace University last spring, the junior horticulture and crop production and education major was in search of a place to foster his love for gardening, he said.

So in March, Carrus reached out to students involved in the garden and met Allison Lilly, the sustainability and wellness coordinator who works at the garden.

Carrus said meeting Lilly and these students allowed him to pursue his vision for the future of the garden.

“When I came here last year, I was interested in gardening, and it wasn’t a fully functioning place,” Carrus said. “I just saw so much

potential in it. There are a bunch of people working with the garden now; it’s not just me.”

The rooftop garden originally sat on top of the North Campus Dining Hall but was moved to the more spacious South Campus Dining Hall roof so more students could work at the same time, Lilly said. The garden’s existence is the result of a continued effort by students to keep it thriving, she added.

When Carrus showed interest in the garden last spring, many students who were involved were graduating, while the group of regular volunteers was dwindling. His first objective was to get more students involved.

“It’s really energizing to see somebody who is so passionate about the rooftop garden and also about reaching out to other students,” Lilly said.

“It just gets everybody around him that much more engaged and enthusiastic about getting involved.”

Carrus helped run a yoga event on the roof last summer to draw more students to the garden. Noga Raviv, junior hearing and speech sciences major, participated in the yoga event and now volunteers regularly.

assault From PAGE 1 senators, celebrities, student body presidents and sexual assault activists. Biden emphasized the need to change the way people talk to victims.

“It’s on all of us to change the culture that asks the wrong questions,” Biden said. “The mark of success will be when not a single woman in America blames herself.”

Sexual assault victim Lilly Jay took the stage with Biden to speak on her experience with the issue. Jay said even though she has become an active voice on sexual assault, it is still difficult to discuss.

“Whether you’re thinking about it because you’re scared of the boy down the hall or because you’re planning a meeting with a college president, recalling rape always hurts,” Jay said. “That’s the terrible irony of sexual assault activism. Using your experi-

ence to protect others from rape is so empowering and so important that it also tethers you to your pain.”

During Obama’s speech, he noted that 1 in 5 women is a victim of sexual assault during her college years, and the majority of these cases is never reported. He said the country must put more emphasis on empowering women.

“Women make up half this country, half its workforce, more than half of our college students,” Obama said. “They are not going to succeed the way they should unless they are treated as true equals and are supported and respected. And unless women are allowed to fulfill their full potential, America will not reach its full potential. So we’ve got to change.”

T he campaign launch comes after the newly formed White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault released its first report in April. The report focused

on four key areas of prevention and response: “identifying the scope of the problem t h rou g h c a mpu s cl i m ate surveys,” “preventing sexual assault and engaging men,” “helping schools respond effectively when a student is assaulted” and “improving, and making more transparent, the federal government’s enforcement efforts,” according to a White House fact sheet.

Obama has taken other steps to address the issue of sexual assault. In 2013, he reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act, which provides funding to investigate and combat domestic violence and sexual abuse.

Democratic National Comm ittee Cha i rwoma n Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-F l a .) com mended t he president’s efforts on a recent conference call with college reporters.

“We need to shine a light on the issue of sexual assault on college campuses,” she said.

“Bring it out of the shadows, make sure colleges know they can’t throw it under the rug.

What we’ve been pushing for is to make sure that college campuses come up with plans to address the problem on their campuses, and I’m really proud of this administration for really making sure that it became a priority.”

This university created an Office of Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence in March, after a report from a University Senate task force.

The office’s director, Catherine Carroll, was in attendance at the White House event Friday.

“It’s really exciting,” Carroll said. “I think [Obama] is completely right on and it’s time to seize the day, which is what I think we’re doing at UMD.” A lso at the event was Student Govern ment Association President Patrick Ron k, who was joi ned by student body presidents from several other universities, including Big Ten schools Ohio

“T he way he treats the garden, well, he lives for it,” Raviv said. “He has this internal drive that keeps him motivated, and it motivated us, too.”

Carrus said he has a group of six volunteers who regularly tend to the garden and attend meetings. “ We ’ r e g e t t i n g m o r e and more volunteers every week,” he said. “Volunteers are able to do whatever they want. We’re really just there to help people do what they want to do.”

placing the broken wooden flowerpots on the roof with new plastic pots and painting them. Carrus also came to the garden with ideas for a potting station for individual planters so students can care for their own plants, Lilly said.

The crowd at last season’s men’s basketball game against the University of Pittsburgh. The Student Government Association at this university is working to pass legislation that would permit the sale of alcoholic beverages at sporting events.

Alcohol From PAGE 1 Athletic Council and this ad hoc committee.

Hadley said that although the initiative is still up and running, particular findings discussed at the meeting and the general reactions of each group cannot be fully disclosed until the ad hoc committee reports its findings to the Athletic Council at the next meeting on Oct. 27.

The initiative took shape in light of other universities’ successes in allowing the sale of alcohol at athletic events.

Big Ten schools such as the University of Illinois and the University of Minnesota, as well as other universities — Syracuse University, the University of Texas at Arlington and West Virginia University, to name a few — sell alcohol to the general public at athletic sporting events, Hadley said.

The Student Government Association, Residence Hall Association and Graduate Student Government, along with student-athletes, came up with the initiative at an athletic department student advisory council meeting on Jan. 30. All unanimously

passed resolutions by the end of February, which were then brought to the University Senate for review, said Ian Moritz, a student representative for the SGA on the alcoholic beverages committee. The University Senate reassigned review responsibilities to the Athletic Council in March, deeming the matter to be within the council’s purview.

SG A P re sid ent Pat r ic k Ronk said the driving force in this initiative is an effort to increase safety by decreasing binge drinking before ga mes. Accord i ng to t he SGA resolution approving of alcohol sales, 64.3 percent

of Pennsylvania college students surveyed in a research study reported participating in pre-event drinking at least once during a twoweek period, consuming an average of 4.9 drinks before each event.

“Unfortunately, that’s what a lot of people want to do or feel the need to do,” Ronk said. “[With this initiative], to keep your buzz going throughout the game, you can get a beer. … You don’t have to leave the game early, you don’t have to binge drink beforehand.”

On the other hand, Hadley said, the initiative’s main points of concern include

the health and safety of game attendees, as well as upholding the inclusive, familial atmosphere that many admire about the university’s sporting events.

“The other side is people saying, ‘Gee I don’t want to encourage [drinking] in any way,’ and also, people l i ke t he M a r yla nd ga mes for the family atmosphere,” Hadley said. “T hey don’t want anything that could change that.”

Despite the i n itiative’s promising outlook in terms of student approval — a poll of about 1,000 students last semester was predominately

chester lam/the diamondback

positive, Moritz said — are steps remain before this initiative becomes a reality.

Hadley said the Athletic Council will discuss the initiative at its October meeting and might vote in November on the initiative. After that, its recommendation will move to the University Senate and university President Wallace Loh.

Bridging the wage gap

O

families, passing the Paycheck Fairness Act seems like obvious legislation. Yet it is alarming that politicians still do not seem to think this is an issue that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

OUR VIEW

Unfair wage disparities between men and women can be stopped with the help of the Paycheck Fairness Act. According to the U.S. Census, the difference between the median fulltime salary for men and the median full-time salary for women was about 22 cents on every dollar. Every year a woman fails to make an additional $10,876 despite doing the equal work of a man in this country. Thankfully, the pay discrepancy is not as large in this state, where there is a 15-cent pay discrepancy for women for each dollar a man makes.

Even without the obvious negative effects of women not receiving equal pay for equal work, this wage gap also hurts women’s families and

the economy. That money cannot be put back into the economy if women living alone and women providing for their families do not have it to spend.

While many female students might not be subjected to the wage gap between men and women in their own jobs, there is a large chance that their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters or other female relatives have experienced unequal pay for equal work.

With the bill not being passed last week and the alarming statistic that the Census considered the decrease of 23 cents in 2013 to 22 cents in 2014 insignificant, it is more than likely that students at this university will be subjected to the gender pay gap after graduation.

Denying equal pay for equal work is simply not right, yet not everyone seems to believe so. The Paycheck Fairness Act needs to be passed, and it needs to be passed soon. It seems much more important for a woman to be able to buy 86 more weeks of food for her family or be able to pay 12 more months of rent than it is to worry about a potential increase of lawsuits.

Brown’s black and blue campaign

A

s we approach the 40-day countdown to this state’s gubernatorial election, the most recently conducted nonpartisan polls give Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown a convincing 14-point lead over his Republican challenger, businessman and former Gov. Bob Ehrlich administration official Larry Hogan.

But the Brown camp has been running the 2014 campaign far more like a dogfight than the easy cruise to victory it will be. Has Brown been lying? Technically, no. But to the uninformed voter, Brown’s ability to stretch the truth like an Olympic gymnast and skew his own record is effective enough. One has to wonder how much Brown’s campaign style reflects how the future governor will operate in his next four years in Annapolis. Let’s take a look at some of Brown’s most misleading statements, which can all be found on his campaign website.

On July 8, Brown said, “With today’s announcement that Maryland has retained our AAA bond rating, we’re continuing to build a strong economy on the foundation of fiscal responsibility. Together, we’ve balanced our budget every year.” Brown’s statement here is not a lie. This state’s AAA bond rating is one to be proud of, and the state’s budget has been balanced during the entirety of the O’Malley-Brown administration. At this point, it would be appropriate to add the asterisk mark. The state operating budget has been balanced for the past eight years, but not because of any great fiscal hawkishness on Brown’s part.

In response to health care, Brown’s website states, “As the leader of Maryland’s efforts to improve health care and Co-Chair of the Health Care Reform Coordinating Council, Lt. Governor Brown has positioned Maryland as the national leader in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.” In this

Don’t reduce mental health terms

I was never really a huge fan of Oprah Winfrey’s self-titled talk show. The only time I remember seeing any of her shows was as a little girl, sitting on the living room floor watching whatever TV programs my babysitter had on. But recently, an episode of her talk show Super Soul Sunday caught my attention.

The featured guest was singer Alanis Morissette, who discussed her supposedly traumatic experience with becoming famous. Prior to the 1995 release of her album Jagged Little Pill, she said she was “playing 100-seater clubs and then [she was] playing stadiums.” And how did she describe this sudden change? Well, akin to suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

When the renowned TV host asked Morissette why she compared her experience to PTSD, she claimed she was “traumatized. … On some level, I think becoming famous and wanting fame, there’s some trauma.”

At that point, a sudden anger boiled inside of me. I wasn’t entirely sure how to react. I came to the realization that instances like this may undermine serious attitudes toward mental health disorders.

According to the Mayo Clinic, post-traumatic stress disorder is defined as “a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying

event — either experiencing it or witnessing it.”

I’m no psychiatrist, but I’m pretty sure Morissette could not have been suffering from this disorder because of her fame. PTSD suggests that something traumatic happens to the individual suffering from it — something that surpasses the sufferer’s control.

Witnessing a fellow soldier get shot or bombed into pieces, experiencing a rape or being the passenger in a fatal car crash are examples of events that could trigger PTSD. I’m not saying Morissette couldn’t have suffered from some sort of emotional issue. Depression or anxiety, for instance, could have gotten the best of her. But PTSD? That’s a harder argument to get behind.

Last April, I wrote a column in The Diamondback called “‘Suck it up’ culture,” in which I addressed how people sometimes discount the severity of mental health disorders and are quick to tell others to “suck it up” when they don’t really understand what might be emotionally harming a person.

However, this doesn’t mean I suggest the other extreme: being premature in supporting someone who allegedly is suffering from trauma (which, in Morissette’s terms, is synonymous with becoming famous).

Saying that you believed fame was supposed to “heal” you but instead finding that it gave you PTSD completely disrespects those who have actually experienced raw trauma.

Maybe the singer actually did

suffer from something serious but doesn’t want to disclose it.

In that case, I would urge her to release what that experience was.

Even if this traumatic experience was personal, she is going on a daytime series with Oprah Winfrey (a show that thousands of individuals could be watching) and saying she’s suffering from PTSD because of her fame.

This disgusts me. I fear this will cause a domino effect: “I messed up on a public performance — this is so traumatic,” or “I think I might have PTSD because of how badly I performed on this exam.”

After blunders like these, I’d only imagine society taking a step backward from really understanding mental health. They won’t treat cases of actual PTSD seriously because words like “OCD” and “PTSD” will be used interchangeably with “pissed off,” “emotionally changed” or “upset.”

The key takeaway from all of this is that celebrities — and even people around the campus — have a larger social footprint than they think. Continuing to use terms for mental health disorders too liberally will only perpetuate society’s lack of knowledge about these disorders. At a time when psychological disorders are becoming better-diagnosed, we deserve more.

instance Brown comes a bit closer to lying. As many sources have pointed out, Brown’s handling of the health care rollout in this state was awful.

Maryland’s implication of the Affordable Care Act has been ranked as low as 45th in the entire country, and Brown has received criticism even from Democrats such as state Reps. Chris Van Hollen and John Delaney.

Brown’s running mate, Keith Ulman, remarked: “Anthony is committed to providing universal Pre-K for every child in Maryland and he’s laid out a clear path to achieve it. Larry Hogan says we ‘can’t afford’ universal Pre-K, and instead wants a $300 million corporate giveaway. The difference is clear.”

Brown’s campaigning has also included baseless attacks on his opponent Larry Hogan. As the Hogan campaign has been quick to note, Brown’s allegation that Hogan supports a “$300 million corporate giveaway” doesn’t come from anything Hogan has said.

Hogan’s general claim on the campaign trail is to “reduce taxes,” which is admittedly a very vague promise.

But the idea that he plans to give $300 million in tax breaks to companies comes from a piece of legislation sponsored by several Republican delegates in the 2014 legislative session in Annapolis, not from any policies proposed by Hogan. In this instance, Brown’s portrayal of a heartless Hogan who is in bed with big business is downright misleading.

In an era that is in desperate need of upright and authentic leaders, Brown’s campaigning is a sign that he is no such leader. While his deliberately misleading campaign won’t prevent him from reaching the governor’s mansion, let’s all keep in mind Brown’s tactics as he serves as our executive for the next four years.

n Sept. 15, the Paycheck Fairness Act was blocked by Senate Republicans. The bill, which aims to bridge the wage gap between men and women, was blocked for the fourth time since it was introduced in 2011 by Senate Democrats.

Despite falling short in a vote of 52-40 — a 60-vote clearance was needed — the pros of the Paycheck Fairness Act outweigh the cons laid out by the opposition. According to the National Partnership for Women & Families, the act would protect employees from punishment for discussing salaries with colleagues; mandate that employers prove pay differences between men and women exist for legal and legitimate job-related reasons; create negotiation training programs for women and inflict harsher penalties for pay discrimination.

Those who oppose the bill claim it is not specific enough, will most likely cause a rise in lawsuits against employers and will not actually lessen pay disparities.

At a time when women make up about half of the workforce and mothers provide at least half of the income in more than 40 percent of

is that part of his research costs was paid by lawyers of parents seeking to sue vaccine makers for damages. These allegations were cited by the General Medical Council, a U.K.-based medical registry that ensures proper medical practices. Four subsequent studies have refuted Wakefield’s findings.

The anti-vaccine movement appears to have caused the resurgence of several preventable and potentially dangerous diseases. According to the Center for Disease Control, the United States is experiencing a record number of measles cases. From Jan. 1 to Aug. 29, 592 cases of measles were confirmed. This is the highest number of cases since 2000, when measles was thought to have been eliminated. For children under the age of 5, the disease can be fatal.

The most amazing thing about the development of the anti-vaccine movement is that anti-vaccine advocates have since decided that all vaccines are dangerous, not just the MMR vaccine, which was found not to cause autism.

Pertussis, whooping cough, has been declared an epidemic in California, with 3,458 cases reported. This is a drastic increase compared with the 2,530 cases reported in 2013. Nationally, pertussis is on the rise with 9,964 cases reported this year as of June 16. Compared to the same period of time in 2013, this marks a 24 percent increase. Whooping cough can be lethal for young children.

Although everyone has the right to make decisions concerning the welfare of their children, no one has the right to potentially endanger those around them. Unvaccinated children and adults present a health risk in public places such as schools. I would argue that it is everyone’s social responsibility to receive those vaccinations required to ensure continued public health and safety.

Many American public school students have been required to submit vaccination records to their schools. Even this university requires that certain vaccinations be administered before admittance. The purpose of vaccines is to protect yourself and others from infectious disease. To most people, this condition sounds reasonable and responsible. Unfortunately, not everyone accepts the idea of vaccinating children. The reduction in vaccinations of young children in America is leading to a resurgence of several preventable and potentially dangerous diseases.

The idea that drives many people to avoid vaccinations originates from a paper by Dr. Andrew Wakefield published in the English medical journal The Lancet. The paper reported a supposed link between autism and the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Wakefield’s 1998 study described 12 children with neurodevelopmental delay and eight with autism. All of these children had gastrointestinal issues and developed autism within one month of receiving the MMR vaccine.

While the results of this study would indicate a direct correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism, there are several things to be considered before you take this as proof. The published study has been retracted. Alleged unethical infractions by Wakefield include taking blood samples for his study from children at his son’s birthday party.

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER

orn today, you are a strong-willed, opinionated individual, and you are never afraid of voicing those opinions -- even when doing so is the surest way to arouse anger or resentment in others. You seem utterly incapable of controlling yourself when you feel strongly about something; you will speak out, loudly and often, no matter who is listening! This is an admirable trait, to be sure, but it is one that is also sure to get you into hot water again and again throughout your lifetime, both professionally and personally -- for not everyone is ready or willing to let your comments roll off their backs. Indeed, you are likely to encounter a great deal of conflict in your life.

Though you are on the one hand one of the most outspoken and expressive individuals born under your sign, you can also be very private -- and you will protect that privacy at all costs. You are also quite protective of friends and loved ones, and you are fiercely loyal.

Also born on this date are: Joan Jett, singer; Debby Boone, singer; Scott Baio, actor; Andrea Bocelli, singer; Bonnie Hunt, actress; Shari Belafonte, actress; Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager.

ESSAY | FALL TV CAPSULES

falling into television It’s fall, which means it’s time for pumpkin spice, chillier weather and a slew of new fall TV shows, ranging from homicidal to comical

By Dustin Levy @DustinBLevy Staff writer The fall TV season is upon us, which means it’s time to prejudge a bunch of new shows and then feel justified when the ones we don’t bother with get canceled.

Because these new shows need all the acclaim they can get, let’s give out awards to the ones with the most intrigue.

BEST SHONDA RHIMES VEHICLE FOR VIOLA DAVIS: HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER Those two names say everything. We know what we’ll get with Shonda Rhimes: major drama, pretty people and ridiculous plots, and audiences will come in droves to see it. Viola Davis (The Help), a twice Oscarnominated actress, is who really brings interest to the show — she plays a criminal defense lawyer and law professor who gets entangled in a homicide plot with her law students. It sounds bizarre, but Rhimes always finds a way to keep people hooked. How to Get Away With Murder premieres Thursday on ABC, after Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy (because, of course).

BEST SHOW THAT WON’T BE HAPPY ENDINGS (BUT WE CAN PRETEND, RIGHT?): MARRY ME So it’s not on ABC and five of the six cast members are not in it, but Happy Endings creator David Caspe and standout Casey Wilson (Saturday Night Live) bring a lot to the table, especially with comic journeyman Ken Marino (Children’s Hospital) also on board. In Marry Me, Wilson and Marino star as a longtime couple, probably with wacky dysfunction and rapid-fire banter.

The premise might not pull you in, but let’s not forget Happy Endings started as a familiarsounding show about six friends.

Plus, Caspe and Wilson’s recent n u p t i a l s m i g h t p rov i d e so m e funny inspiration for the romantic comedy. Marry Me premieres Tuesday, Oct. 14 on NBC.

origin tales of a few infamous DC BEST SHOW THAT’S Comics villains as well, but its PROBABLY BETTER THAN execution will have to live up to the potential. Gotham premieres THE TITLE SUGGESTS: tonight on Fox. THE AFFAIR BEST SHOW THAT IS Sure, Showtime’s The Affair might sound like an unimaginative soap EITHER VERY FUNNY opera, but the Hamptons-set series raises expectations by exploring an OR VERY OFFENSIVE: adulterous relationship and its effects on two marriages through the view- BLACK-ISH points of all involved. The Affair boasts an impressive cast, including Dominic West (The Wire), Ruth Wilson (Luther), Joshua Jackson (Fringe) and Maura Tierney (ER). Showtime has a pretty strong track record with freshman seasons of shows, such as Homeland, Dexter and Masters of Sex, but executing in the long run is another story.

The Affair premieres Sunday, Oct. 12 on Showtime.

BEST NEW SHOW TO WATCH IF YOU’RE A FAN OF ARROW: THE FLASH The popularity of The CW’s Arrow certainly makes The Flash one of the most buzzed-about fall shows, capitalizing on a superhero who hasn’t been done to death (recently). The show centers on Barry Allen, played by Grant Gustin (90210), who becomes the fastest man alive after a lab accident.

After being bestowed with these powers, Allen, a forensic investigator, decides to — gasp! — fight crime. Arrow was one of The CW’s surprise hits two years ago, so it is not too hard to imagine The Flash enjoying similar success. The Flash premieres Tuesday, Oct. 7 on The CW.

Let’s hope Anthony Anderson (Law & Order), Tracee Ellis Ross (Girlfriends) and Laurence Fishburne (Hannibal) won’t steer us wrong. The show’s title and premise — a father, played by Anderson, attempting to find a cultural identity in a white, suburban neighborhood — suggest a lot of comedy playing off racial stereotypes. But the show could also have a lot to say about modern black American culture — a sort of Cosby Show for this generation.

It’s really a toss-up, but odds are, especially with a Modern Family lead-in, it will be a huge hit. Blackish premieres Wednesday on ABC. dlevydbk@gmail.com

THE BIG BANG THEORY

BEST PREMISE YOU HOPE DOESN’T GET SCREWED UP: GOTHAM It might appear that Fox is simply getting into the comic book game with Gotham, but focusing on the origin story of future police Commissioner Jim Gordon before he turns into Gary Oldman sounds appealing. The series begins with Gordon, played by Ben McKenzie (Southland), and his partner Harvey Bullock, played by Donal Logue (Grounded for Life), investigating the murders of the parents of a young Bruce Wayne. Gotham certainly offers promise, especially because it reportedly will tell the

orange From PAGE 8 and a 15-yard personal foul on Likely for a late hit.

On first-and-10 with just less than nine minutes remaining in the period, Hunt took a shotgun snap and spun quickly to his right, delivering a bubble screen to running back Ervin Philips behind the line of scrimmage.

Before Hunt even released the ball, Likely left the receiver he was supposed to cover and charged into the backfield. He crushed Philips as soon as the tailback caught the ball for a loss of 6 yards.

T h re e p l ays l a te r, t h e Orange were forced to punt after failing on a third-andlong. The Terps then scored on a 90-yard catch and run from Brandon Ross in the ensuing drive.

“We’re starting to develop this mentality where every play is like the last play you’re ever going to play,” Edsall said.

“When that one’s over, you go to the next one and you don’t worry about it, and if they move the ball, so what? You just keep playing.”

On top of Likely’s interception and stout tackling, the Terps rode a sizzling offensive start to their win Saturday. Quarterback C.J. Brown was 4 of 4 passing for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including Ross’s scamper, before he threw his first incompletion.

The Terps’ third touchdown came after Anthony Nixon

blocked a punt, marking the third straight game in which the special teams unit blocked an opponent’s kick. Wide receiver Jacquille Veii, who led the team with 42 rushing yards on eight carries, capped off the 28-yard drive by walking into the end zone from 4 yards out on a shotgun handoff.

Likely’s touchdown followed Veii’s and provided the Terps with a comfortable 18-point halftime lead they never relinquished.

The Orange accumulated 589 total yards in the contest, including 370 on the ground, but untimely turnovers and debilitating penalties prevented the team from converting that success into points.

One of those turnovers was Likely’s electrifying return, which was just the latest big play from the shifty sophomore. During the loss to West Virginia, Likely forced a fumble in the first half with the Mountaineers driving inside the red zone. Later in the contest, he returned a punt 69 yards to even the score at 37 in the fourth quarter.

On Saturday, the defender found another way to change the game and lead the Terps to a victory in their final nonconference game. And with the Big Ten opener looming next weekend at Indiana, Likely has no plans of slowing down.

“Just keep practicing hard, studying the playbook, watch more film,” Likely said. “Just try to contribute.” dpopperdbk@gmail.com

who leaped above several defenders and connected on a header. The effort smacked off the right post.

“That needs to be in the back of the net,” Cirovski said. “That’s a goal we have to score. There’s no excuse for that. We’re just putting pressure on ourselves because we’re not putting the ball in the back of the net.”

Yet for all of Endoh’s resourcefulness with the ball, the Terps frontline was ineffective. Cirovski used his fourth different starting duo of the season and opted to start Raley over his other four forwards alongside Ryan Reid.

“It’s a little bit my fault, to be fair,” Cirovski said. “I’ll take responsibility. Maybe we should’ve stayed with a more consistent lineup. Hopefully we’ll start seeing that more.

Going to take a real hard look and stay with a more consistent lineup, I think.”

After the Spartans scored early in the first half, they played more conservatively. In

recap From PAGE 8 Courtney Clem. Five different players combined for six shots on net in that span.

The Terps, though, were unable to finish at net. After failing to convert through 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods, the Terps (3-3-2, 1-1-1) settled for a scoreless draw — their first since Aug. 19, 2012, against Villanova.

“We were giving them challenges up top,” midfielder Cory Ryan said. “We came close but couldn’t put it in the net.”

Since forward Natasha

the second half, they often positioned all 10 field players in the defensive third to disrupt the Terps’ offensive flow.

Tonight’s game against the Flyers is another chance for the Terps to develop offensive consistency, but it might not be easy. Dayton (3-2-1) is coming off of a 5-0 shellacking of IUPUI on Friday, and they’ve scored at least three goals on three separate occasions this year.

The Terps have done that just once and have yet to net at least two scores in any other contest.

The message from the Terps after Friday’s loss was simple: Things need to change. After Ambrose’s late header was deflected away, the Ludwig Field crowd emitted a collective groan. Thirty seconds later, the final whistle blew, and the Terps had been handed their third loss of the season.

“It’s not just the forwards, it’s the midfield and the defenders,” Ambrose said.

“We’ve got to work harder to find some goals. That’s the bottom line.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

Ntone-Kouo scored late in the first half against the Scarlet Knights in the Big Ten opener, the Terps haven’t punched in a goal in 245 minutes. They’ll hope to fix their scoring issues before Thursday’s game at Iowa, which sits atop the conference standings with a 3-0 record.

“Our possession has been getting better and better, and then obviously we started to create some stuff today,” Morgan said. “So we got to get that last piece. They say it’s the hardest part of the game, and right now it feels like it is.” kstackpoledbk@gmail.com

wildcats From PAGE 8 first half, the senior netminder kept the Terps off the scoreboard. Carpenter received a boost from the defense, which prevented the Terps attackers from quality looks at goal.

“They just had so much pressure on the shots that they ended up being 50 percent shots rather than really, really quality ones in terms of speed and accuracy,” Meharg said.

While the Terps offense was unable to beat Carpenter early, the defense clamped down. The Terps held Northwestern without a shot through the first 29 minutes of play, but the Wildcats received a controversial penalty stroke late in the first half.

“I’m not sure the umpire was in any sort of position to make that call,” Meharg said.

“It could’ve been a penalty corner just fine.”

Though Meharg disagreed with the call, McCarthy still got the Wildcats’ first scoring opportunity of the game, and she put the ball past goalkeeper Brooke Cabrera. Despite outshooting Northwestern 10-2 in the first half, the Terps found themselves trailing at the break for the second time this season.

When they trailed North Carolina several weeks ago, the Terps were unable to spark any offense until the final minutes of the game.

That wasn’t the case Saturday, though. Less than t h re e m i n u te s i n to t h e second half, midfielder Anna Dessoye netted the equalizer for the Terps.

It didn’t last, though, because 73 seconds later, Northwestern created one of its few scoring chances on the afternoon and made the most of the opportunity. Wildcats

midfielder anna dessoye and the Terps suffered their second loss of the season Saturday against No. 15 Northwestern in a 3-2 defeat. rebecca rainey/the diamondback midfielder Charlotte Martin found forward Kelley Stump at the back post, and Stump finished it off to regain the lead for Northwestern.

Forward Moira Putsch converted seven minutes later off a rebound on a penalty corner to temporarily tie the game again. It was the Terps’ only goal off one of their 12 penalty corners.

“Moira Putsch’s rebound goal was beautiful,” Meharg said. “Anna Dessoye’s deflection was beautiful. We have to finish on more of those because we are getting the ball in there.”

The Terps never netted another shot, though. And Northwestern capitalized one last time when Stump took advantage of the Wildcats’ only penalty corner of the afternoon for her second goal of the half.

Northwestern turned five shots into three goals to upset the Terps, who begin life in a new conference with a loss.

“It doesn’t feel good right now,” Meharg said. rbaillargeondbk@gmail.com

Wildcats top Terps in Illinois Northwestern scores late to earn 3-2 win in conference opener

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Staff writer

“You got that funk off your body,” said defensive end Andre Monroe, who became the first defender to sack Hunt all season when he brought the quarterback down behind the line of scrimmage in the third quarter. “You got that negative type of feeling that you get from loss off of you.”

Likely’s impact on Saturday’s contest was not limited to his interception. The 5-foot-7, 175pound defensive back led the team with nine tackles — all of them unassisted — a performance that earned him the Terps’ defensive game ball.

Likely made one tackle for loss, which came at a crucial point in the first quarter. The Terps led by four points, but the Orange offense was driving past midfield, thanks to two long runs

With less than five minutes remaining in Saturday’s match, No. 15 Northwestern lined up for its first penalty corner of the day against the Terrapins field hockey team.

Midfielder Lisa McCarthy passed the ball into the circle, and forward Kelley Stump tipped the ball into the back of the net to give the Wildcats a 3-2 lead.

Stump’s late goal proved to be the difference, and Northwestern spoiled the No. 2 Terps’ first-ever Big Ten conference game with a 3-2 victory in Evanston, Illinois, despite being outshot 23-5.

“You never want to say something is lucky, but they were very opportunistic and we were not,” coach Missy Meharg said.

The Terps (5-2, 0-1 Big Ten) have almost always outshot their opponents this season, averaging more than 22 shots per game compared to less than seven against, but that hasn’t translated to commanding victories. And Saturday it wasn’t enough to escape Lakeside Field with a win.

Northwestern goalkeeper Maddy Carpenter hadn’t been tested much, entering the game with 21 saves through the first seven games of the season. Despite the limited number of shots, Carpenter had allowed 11 goals, which resulted in losses to three ranked teams.

Unlike past Wildcats (5-3, 1-0) opponents, the Terps tested Carpenter frequently, but throughout the entire

A WHOLE LOT TO LIKE Cornerback Will Likely spearheads victory over Syracuse in final nonconference game

By Daniel Popper @danielrpopper Senior staff writer The Terrapins football team held an 11-point advantage over Syracuse late in the first half Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome when the Orange offense set up for a second-and-8 from 3 yards inside the red zone.

Quarterback Terrel Hunt stood 5 yards away from the offensive line in shotgun formation with a running back to his right, three wide receivers and a tight end. The Orange signal-caller took the snap, dropped back a step and fired a throw to his left intended for wide receiver Adrian Flemming.

But Hunt had misinterpreted the play. He thought Flemming would stop on a 5-yard dig

route. Instead, the receiver turned and ran toward the end zone while Terps cornerback Will Likely sat in position to secure the easy interception. The sophomore took off the other way and sprinted 88 yards for the touchdown, high-stepping out of Hunt’s attempted tackle at midfield to see nothing but open field in front of him.

“I was shocked,” Likely said. “I just seen green grass.”

The interception return — Likely’s second touchdown in as many weeks — represented a 17-point swing for coach Randy Edsall’s squad, putting the contest all but out of reach with minutes remaining in the second quarter. And after a quiet second half, the Terps cruised to a 34-20 victory over the Orange to return to winning form after a home loss to West Virginia the previous weekend.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Missed chances lead to winless weekend After failing to score a goal in consecutive matches, Terps fall to 1-1-1 in Big Ten play

By Kyle Stackpole @kylefstackpole Staff writer In its conference opener against then-No. 25 Rutgers on Sept. 12, the Terps women’s soccer team scored two first-half goals and held the Scarlet Knights scoreless in an upset victory.

But when the Terps played Michigan and Michigan State this weekend, they failed to build on the momentum they gained from upending the Scarlet Knights. They ended the weekend with one loss, one tie and no goals, despite taking 28 shots.

“Just the weekend — Friday and today — I felt like a tie would have really been fair on Friday night, the way the performance went,” coach Jonathan Morgan said after yesterday’s scoreless draw with the Spartans. “And I thought today, we probably deserved a result.”

In a 1-0 loss to the Wolverines (7-3-0, 3-1-0) on Friday night, the Terps midfielders had trouble keeping possession against the Michigan pressure. And with the midfielders having to adapt to that style of play, the Terps struggled to push the ball up to their forwards.

The Terps managed just two shots on goal compared with the Wolverines’ four. Even so, defender Erika Nelson had a prime opportunity to net the equalizer in the waning minutes of the Terps’ loss.

Off a corner kick from defender Shannon Collins, Nelson struck a

header toward the net. And though goalkeeper Megan Hinz wasn’t in position to make the save, defender Niki Wilkinson, who was standing just in front of the end line, booted Nelson’s shot away.

“We got a free look at the goal, and Erika Nelson, in training, is typically burying that, so she has to bury it in competition,” Morgan said. “That’s a great service by Shannon, Nelly is exactly where she needs to be, but she just made contact instead of attacking it.”

Aside from Nelson’s try, the Terps were stagnant offensively. And in the first half of their match with Michigan State (6-3-1, 0-3-1) yesterday, the Terps attack was again unable to create scoring opportunities.

The Terps didn’t attempt a shot on goal and took five shots overall in the opening 45 minutes. Morgan said the Spartans’ style of play, which was similar to the Wolverines, made it difficult for the Terps to find space and keep hold of the ball in the midfield.

“Our midfield has been pretty good, and now people are saying in order to deal with that, you have to man-mark Maryland in the midfield,” Morgan said. “That’s the scout on us, and so we have to keep getting better in there and being able to handle that man-marking in the midfield.”

But in the second frame, the Terps put more pressure on the Spartans defense and challenged goalkeeper See recap, Page 7

Struggling offense looks for jolt Terps host Flyers tonight after 1-0 loss to MSU on Fri

By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Staff writer For a split second, the ball floated in the air.

Terrapins men’s soccer defender Mikey Ambrose had just connected on a header off a cross from defender Jereme Raley with 32 seconds left in regulation of Friday night’s bout with Michigan State. A goal would have knotted the score and saved the Terps from their third loss in a young season marked by unfilled expectations.

Spartans goalkeeper Zach Bennett‘s diving save attempt to his left was a tad late, and the ball seemed destined for the back of the net. But

right before it crossed the goal line, defender Zach Carroll swooped in behind Bennett and headed the ball away.

The Terps’ struggles in the scoring third continued in that 1-0 loss to Michigan State, as they failed to connect on eight shots. They’ll have a chance to redeem themselves tonight, though, when they welcome Dayton to Ludwig Field.

“Some players have been really good, and then there’s been a big drop-off,” coach Sasho Cirovski said. “We have to get better; that’s all there is to it.”

Though the Terps offense has been unproductive early in the season, they still have time to turn things around. Cirovski’s squad has six more conference games, and the Big Ten tournament doesn’t start until Nov. 8.

Tonight’s tilt with the Atlantic 10 foe will provide a reprieve from the steady stream of perennial contend-

ers — conference and nonconference — the Terps have played. Five of the Terps’ six opponents so far have been nationally ranked at some point this season.

But first, the Terps (1-3-2) need to repair the kinks in their offense.

“I thought at this point, we’d have a little bit stronger relationships on the field,” Cirovski said. “We just don’t.”

Attacking midfielder Tsubasa Endoh played for the first time since Aug. 29 in the loss to the Spartans and saw action for 88 minutes. He often controlled possession and acted as a distributor, injecting creativity into the Terps’ stagnant offense.

In the 41st minute, he nearly put the Terps on the board. After his shot was blocked, he lined up for a corner kick. The effort sailed right to the 6-foot-5 defender Alex Crognale, See flyers, Page 7
