Students, U tussle over library fate Plan to consolidate libraries angers grads

By Talia Richman @TaliRichman Senior staff writer When Dean of Libraries Patricia Steele announced this summer that she was closing the art and architecture libraries because of a 1.5 percent budget cut, she faced backlash not only for planning to close the two libraries, but also for doing so without consulting students or faculty.

In response to public outcry and online petitions, officials from the libraries dean office, the architecture, planning and preservation school and arts and humanities college have formed task force committees to develop a course of action.

“We are spending the semester getting as much input as we can,” Steele said. “I trust them to think of some very clever ways to get to a win-win solution.”

A B1G STATEMENT Farrand leads Terps to convincing victory in Big Ten debut

By Daniel Popper @danielrpopper Senior staff writer

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Cole Farrand knew what play was coming before the ball was snapped.

The Terrapins football linebacker, who returned from injury Saturday to make his first start in two weeks, had spent countless hours in the film room during the week preparing for the team’s Big Ten opener at Indiana. And with the Hoosiers facing fourth-and-1 from the Terps’ 41-yard line down 18 points late in the third quarter, Farrand’s extra effort paid

to raise awareness for the child migrant crisis, an issue to which he feels a personal connection.

Granados’ mother moved to the U.S. when he was 8 years old, leaving him and his 6-year-old brother behind in El Salvador to live with other family members. She worked and was able to get visas for her children, and Granados and his brother were reunited with their mother in the U.S. in 2003 — after three years of separation.

“What if my mom had not been able to work those three jobs that she did, day and night, seven days a week, and I was still waiting for that visa?” he said. “I probably would have been one of those [migrant] children as well, or I would have joined a gang.”

Granados is the innovation chair for Political Latinos/a’s United for Movement and Action in Society, one of several student organizations involved with the project.

Indiana quarterback Nate Sudfeld set up in shotgun with running back Tevin Coleman to his right. Farrand immediately recognized the formation, and after Sudfeld took the snap and handed off to Coleman on a zone run up the middle, the senior charged from his spot off the line of scrimmage. Farrand filled the gap.

Coleman had nowhere to go. And the linebacker made the tackle for no gain to force a turnover on downs.

It was one of 19 tackles Farrand made that day See football, Page 3

A string of off-campus breaking and entering incidents Friday and Saturday resulted in stolen property from three different households, according to Prince George’s County Police.

Officers reported three cases of breaking and entering between 8 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday, and an attempted incident early Friday morning, according to university safety notices.

On the 4700 block of Harvard Road, one victim awoke to find personal property and a motor vehicle stolen as well as the front and back doors open. Prince George’s County Police also responded to the 4800 block of Norwich Avenue when three male students reported stolen property. They determined the burglar entered and exited the house through an unsecured door.

The third incident occurred on the 7300 block of Hopkins Avenue. An individual accessed a house by prying open a window, then stole a female student’s property and left through the window.

Early Friday morning, an unidentified individual also tried to enter a female student’s first-floor residence on the 4600 block of Knox Road. She was able to stop the intruder after hearing her window open, shutting the window and calling police.

All four cases are under investigation, though police do not know where the perpetrators escaped to after the incidents.

To prevent home burglaries and break-ins, police encourage citizens to lock all doors and windows at night, as well as use home security systems and bright lighting outside places of residence. jsnowdbk@gmail.com

City’s College Park Day draws 2,500 Fifth annual event sees highest turnout yet

By Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl Staff writer About 2,500 people attended the fifth annual College Park Day on Saturday, the city’s largest event yet aimed at promoting local businesses and fostering a sense of community.

After last year’s success, the city moved the event from Herbert Wells Ice Rink to a larger parking lot at 5000 Paint Branch Parkway, across from the College Park Metro Station, to accommodate a bigger crowd.

University study reveals Iranians favor government deal on nuclear program Many find limits on nuclear research unacceptable

By Rokia Hassanein @rokiahass Staff writer A recent survey found 49 percent of Iranians would strongly or somewhat favor their government making a d e a l o n I ra n’s n u c l e a r program, but the majority of those surveyed found some demands unacceptable.

The study was conducted by this university’s Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland and the University of Tehran.

Researchers interviewed a random sample of 1,037 Iranians in a telephone poll, said Nancy Gallagher, associate research director at CISSM. The support Iranians dis-

played for their nuclear program was nearly unanimous at 94 percent. About 79 percent of Iranians said they were open to negotiating an agreement in which Iran couldn’t produce nuclear weapons, 62 percent were open to more international inspections and 57 percent would consider limiting their level of uranium enrichment.

However, respondents displayed some hesitation toward more extreme measures.

“There’s distrust for the U.S., and trust correlates with willingness,” Gallagher said.

“There’s a level of skepticism on whether the U.S. would lift sanctions. The U.S. has a real problem scaling back its demands enough that President [Hassan] Rouhani could get public support for.”

T he key findings in the survey showed Iranians are not interested in dismantling half their centrifuges or ac-

Senior Analyst, Univ. of Tehran cepting limits on their nuclear research, Gallagher said. More than 70 percent of the respondents viewed demands for Iran to dismantle its centrifuges as unacceptable, and 75 percent found demands on limiting its nuclear research unacceptable.

Clay Ramsay, Program on International Policy Attitudes research director and CISSM fellow, said the most surprising thing about the study is that

the majority of Iranians are still willing to support confidencebuilding measures, which include granting more access to United States journalists.

“It’s surprising that it hasn’t eroded after years of high tension,” Ramsay said.

Senior analyst at the University of Tehran’s Center for Public Opinion Research Ebrahim Mohseni, who helped develop the poll, has been studying Iranian public opinion since 2006.

“The most significant revelation of all of these studies, including the most recent study, is that reliance on coercion to make Iranians more accommodating has been countereffective,” Mohseni wrote in an email from Tehran.

In the case of Iran, Mohseni wrote, sanctions only have raised the salience of the nuclear program among the public and have increased

the number of Iranians who don’t have favorable views of the U.S., Western Europe and the U.N. What’s interesting, Mohseni wrote, was how well-informed the Iranian public has become on its country’s nuclear program.

“Sixty-two percent of Iranians have at least some knowledge of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,” Mohseni wrote. “This is a very high number, considering only 26 percent of Americans do, who are significantly more educated than Iranians.”

Iranians are suspicious at different levels, Mohseni explained. One issue is that they haven’t been convinced that the U.S. sanctions against Iran are solely because of U.S. concerns with Iran’s nuclear program.

Iranians also expressed skepticism that the U.S. would become more accommodating in other areas of contention if Iran

T he two bra nch l ibra ries face structu ra l issues as well. Steele said shelves in the Architecture Library have collapsed, while the Art Library has had multiple water problems.

Analysis of the two branch libraries’ decreased use also led to the decision, W hite said. Total visitors to the Architecture Library decreased 20 percent from 2012 to 2013, according to library data, and visitors to other branch libraries, such as those serving performing arts, chemistry and engineering, remain significantly higher than the architecture and art libraries.

These two branch libraries are also just a few minutes’ walk from McKeldin Library.

“We have to ask: Are we being fiscally responsible when we operate full-service libraries in buildings directly adjacent to McKeldin?”

White said.

Nicole R iesenb erger, a graduate student in the art history and archaeology department, said she uses the Art Library at least once a day, and having to leave the building would be inconvenient.

Current application allows only two options: male, female

By Sarah Dean @sarahdeanjourn Staff writer In recent months, several universities across the country have been adding to or changing the gender identity and sexual orientation options on their applications.

This university is lagging behind, however, and advocates are recommending change.

This university’s application only provides two options to the category marked “Sex” on the application: male and female. There is no question regarding sexual orientation.

Meanwhile, Duke University recently added an openended question for students to express their sexual orientations and gender identities in their own words, according to Advocate.com. Luke Jensen, director of this university’s LGBT Equ ity Center sa id fellow Big Ten school Ohio State University simply added a yes-or-no question to its application that asks students whether they identify as part of the LGBT community.

Jensen said that although this university has many resources for LGBT students and one of the highest ratings from Campus Pride, a national organization for LGBT college students, the admissions office needs to ask this question to obtain data necessary to assess how the university truly is doing.

“I can point to programs and say, ‘This program really helps; we know that because of the students who participate in it,’ but we don’t have any way of comparing them to students who don’t participate in them,” he said. “So at the end of the day, this is not just

a helpful thing to do. It’s important; it’s actually vital that we start thinking about this.”

Sophomore psycholog y major Camille Veselka, who is a co-coordinator of the smaller groups constituting the Pride Alliance, spoke on behalf of transgender students. She said she would like to see this change not to improve the university’s demographic data, but to make people who do not fit into a gender category more comfortable.

“It’s really hard for most people to fill out these applications or forms because they have male and female. … But also, a lot of people think that they don’t feel like they’re just an ‘other,’” she said. “It would be hard to say ‘male, female, gender queer, trans man, trans woman,’ so right now, it’s really a job of trying to find a balance and really equally respecting everyone.”

Shannon Gundy, undergraduate admissions director, said the application presentation is based on federal government reporting requirements. However, Gundy said students could indicate gender identity or sexual orientation elsewhere in the application if they choose to.

“W hile gender identity could certainly play a role in who the student is and what they’re bringing to the university, it’s possible for them to convey that information through their essay and personal statement,” she said.

“We, of course, consider that.”

Sophomore finance major Abhi Udayshankar said although she thinks the university should ask, there could be some negatives.

“It helps you form an image of the person, but I guess if that image is negative, that’s

“WE DON’T EVEN HAVE A WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER OUR APPLICANT POOL IS REPRESENTATIVE OR NOT BECAUSE WE DON’T ASK.” LUKE JENSEN

where the negatives of putting gender roles on there are,” she said.

Jensen said the information is vital, though, in determining whether the applicant pool is representative of the 3.5 percent of the U.S. population who identify as LGBT, according to a Gallup poll.

“We don’t even have a way of knowing whether our applicant pool is representative or not because we don’t ask, so we really do need to start asking,” he said. “This is an important step that I look forward to the University of Maryland taking.”

Jensen pointed out that the admissions office sends an enrollment confirmation survey to all admitted students in which the students are asked to self-identify their sexual orientations. Students who identify as LGBT receive an email introducing them to the LGBT resources on the campus. However, the data from those surveys cannot be retained, Jensen said.

“We’re not living in the world 10, 15 years ago. We’re living in 2014; asking this question is not a big deal,” Jensen said. “In fact, this question is being asked of students in high schools, so we should not feel embarrassed or afraid to ask this question on our application.” sdeandbk@gmail.com

libraries From PAGE 1 would be integrated into McKeld i n L ibra r y over the next months. The Art Library was supposed to have its hou rs reduced w ith pla ns for the collections to be moved in the next one to two years.

Steele said having most materials in one library, which is open more hours than the branch libraries, wou ld save money a nd improve efficiency.

N o w, t h e A r c h i t e ct u re L i bra r y ’s c lo s u re has been postponed until January, after critical responses from students and alumni in an online petition signed by more than 600 people. However, both libraries are now operating with much shorter hours and fewer personnel. The situation will be re-evaluated once the various task force committees present idea s for new l ibra r y models that are functional and fiscally responsible, Steele said.

Unlike the initial decision, this semester-long discussion process will be open to student and faculty voices. On Oct. 15, Steele plans to meet with members of the art history and archaeology department and the art department.

Around the same time, the a rch itectu re depa rtment pla ns to hold a desig n workshop i n which teams of students, faculty, alumni and library staff will collaborate to look for a solution, said Brian Kelly, architecture program director.

than 1,300 signatures, said she wanted to show Steele that the library was important to those who use it.

“It sort of upset all of us that our use of that space wasn’t taken into consideration,” she said. “It may seem to other people like just a leaky, moldy space, but it’s our space. And it’s the only space we have. I t h i n k it sends a big message to the dean that there are this many people supporting us.”

Kelly said the way students in architecture and the arts use libraries varies greatly from how students in other fields do. Recently, there has been a trend for libraries to transform from a place of books to a place of collaboration and hands-on learning, he said. For example, McKeldin Library just opened a new “MakerSpace” with 3-D printers and virtual reality technology.

Those affiliated with the Art and Architecture libraries also said it is important to have a dedicated branch library to remain competitive in national rankings.

“Every other peer institution has an architecture library, and we should, too,“ architecture professor Ralph Bennett said. “This program has grown to be a center of architectural culture in this region, and it should aspire to that.”

Moving forward, Steele said she hopes the positive communication and collaboration can continue until the parties reach a workable solution.

“What would be good is if both sides aren’t even sides anymore. We can work as one, concentrating on two things: what is needed to make people successful and how it can be balanced with the libraries’ financial situation,” she said. “I hope we can get people to agree that we own each other’s problems and have some goodwill and trust.” trichmandbk@gmail.com

football From PAGE 1 to key a dominant defensive performance from the Terps, who defeated Indiana, 37-15, at Memorial Stadium in their first conference game as a member of the Big Ten. “This was our coming out game, so this was definitely the one that everybody was looking at us to see if we were worth anything in the Big Ten,” Farrand said.

“I know there was a lot of doubters, a nd we don’t mind. We’ve always been d oub te d t h rou g hout ou r college career. It’s something we’re used to. We’re used to adversity. But we definitely

came out here today, and we showed how good we can be.”

That fourth-down stand was not the first time Farrand or ot her memb ers of t he Terps defense knew what play the Hoosiers would run before the snap. All game, Farrand said, the Terps defenders were calling out the plays as soon as Indiana set up in its offensive formation.

“It was d iscou rag i ng them,” Farrand said. “The film study helped. Everybody knew what was going on.”

The Terps’ run defense was the most impressive aspect of Saturday’s win, especially after the team surrendered 370 rushing yards to a less potent Syracuse offense two weeks ago.

Colema n entered the contest averag i ng nea rly 190 yards per game and 8.6 yards per carry, but behind Farrand, the unit limited the talented tailback to 122 yards on 2 2 ca r r ies, h i s lowest total of the season. Not to mention, 43 of those yards came on one run late in the third quarter. Without that play, Coleman averaged just 3.76 yards per carry.

“Cole Fa rra nd was just huge out there,” coach Randy Edsall said. “He’s the heart and soul of our defense. And when he’s not out there, it’s noticeable. It hurts us.”

Fa r r a n d , w h o m a d e a career-high 23 tackles last season aga i nst Clem son, said his 19 tackles Saturday

wou ld n’t have been possible without the play of his teammates, including fellow inside linebacker L.A. Goree, who was second on the team with nine tackles.

“I’ve got [to] attribute all those tackles to my defense, because I know I could trust them,” Farrand said. “It gave me free rein to run to the ball and do what I felt like I could do.”

The Terps defense didn’t su rrender a touchdow n until less than 10 minutes re m a i n e d i n re g u l at io n , when Coleman capped off a 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.

The offense, meanwhile, torched the Hoosiers for a season-high 484 total yards — 123 on the ground and 361

in the air — despite starting quarterback C.J. Brown being forced to sit for the second half with a sprained left wrist.

Brown went 10 of 15 for 163 yards and a touchdown before suffering his injury.

H is replacement, back up Ca leb Rowe, h ad si m i l a r success, completing 12 of his 18 passes for 198 yards and two scores over the final two quarters.

W hile Brown and Rowe combined to find seven different receivers, wideouts Stefon Diggs and Deon Long reaped t he most benef its. Diggs hauled in six catches for 112 yards and a touchdown to lead the team, while Long caught 10 passes for 108 yards.

“We did a great job as a unit,” Diggs said. “It’s good to go out and execute.”

A fter Farrand made the tackle, his 15th of the game, on that fourth-and-1 late in the third quarter, he broke into an emotional celebration, slapping his helmet vigorously.

Along the sideline, Edsall was running gleefully with his hands raised above his head.

It might have been a single play in a 60-minute game, but it m a rked somet h i ng more meaningful for both player and coach.

“I felt like that was us proving that we can roll with the Big Ten,” Farrand said, “and we can play against anybody.” dpopperdbk@gmail.com

Copyright intended be subject to university sanctions.

Violating online copyrights and pirating content is not specific to this university. Instead, it is a problem that seems to affect all Internet users.

OUR VIEW

This university’s copyright pledge is necessary, but many concerns still need to be addressed before we support it.

A study commissioned by NBCUniversal called “Sizing the Piracy Universe” revealed that in January 2013, 327 million unique users in the regions of North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific sought to infringe online content. In the same month and same regions, the study also revealed that 13.9 billion page views were on sites dedicated to pirated content. Online copyright infringement and piracy affect not only the Internet users of this university but also billions of people throughout the world.

The university’s decision to establish the Copyright Pledge exemplifies the growing need to constantly evolve and adapt to the ever-changing digital

world. The idea that seems to be at the basis of the Copyright Pledge shows the university’s ability to acclimate to these constant changes.

Howeve r, seve ra l q u e s t i o n s need to be answered by Denna and university officials for the Copyright Pledge to work. For example, the subject of Denna’s email said to “return required pledge” to pledge@umd.edu. Yet nowhere in the body of the email does it say if the pledge is required for students to access the university network.

The Division of Information Technology needs to clarify what the ramifications will be for students if they do not submit to the Copyright Pledge. They also need to make it known whether there will be harsher penalties for students caught violating copyright material if they signed the Copyright Pledge.

It’s an educated decision for this university to acknowledge that network users — not just students — can be susceptible to this temptation. The Copyright Pledge Initiative is a step in the right direction for the battle against copyright infringement and online piracy, but the kinks need to be worked out for this action to be completely effective.

GUEST COLUMN

Emma Watson makes her mark

M

illions grew up watching Emma Watson playing the ever-sointelligent and witty Hermione Granger in the eight installments of the Harry Potter movie series. After the Potter era sadly came to an end, Watson found a way to break apart from her Granger identity in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, in which she played the freespirited Sam. Watson delivered a stellar performance and even won the highly acclaimed MTV Trailblazer Award, which is awarded to a young actor or actress who has managed to inspire others with a varied film background.

However, on Sept. 20, Watson brought herself back into the public eye, not with a movie release but rather with her morals. Watson delivered a moving speech before the United Nations, introducing a campaign called HeForShe. Watson, a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador, introduced HeForShe, aimed at getting men to become active participants in stopping violence against women.

She stated that there is an increasing need for feminists and that men can

help by advocating gender equality.

Watson also stressed that the view of feminism being referred to as “manhating” needs to end. She specified how society has become too quick to judge feminists as being anti-men, unattractive, aggressive and isolating.

Feminism has become a touchy subject because of all the negativity that arises from it. This negativity stems from a miscommunication in the way people understand the definition of it.

Watson said identifying herself as a feminist “seemed uncomplicated,” but she quickly added that society recently has made the word “feminism” unpopular and derogatory, showing how being a feminist could become a complicated identity.

Watson made a powerful statement: “If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are — we can all be freer, and this is what HeForShe is about. It’s about freedom.”

I found this statement so impactful because Watson is saying this campaign is for everyone. It is not an attack on a

certain gender for not doing enough for the other but rather a call to come together and find freedom for everyone.

After the speech, social media outlets blew up with support for Watson and HeForShe. It did not take long for the simple but effective hashtag #HeForShe to trend on Twitter. Additionally, many of Watson’s male friends, including Harry Potter co-star Matthew Lewis, have been posting selfies of themselves holding a poster with the statement #HeForShe. Emma Watson showed the world that there is a struggle to unite and make gender equality a reality, but that through HeForShe, it can be found. She asked men worldwide “to be the ‘he’ for ‘she.’” Watson has definitely made a breakthrough in breaking down the barriers on gender equality, and it will be thrilling to see how much of a change the campaign will make in the world.

Fight for transparency now

S

tudents across the U.S. are trapped. We face $1.2 trillion in loan debt, a mass sustained by the misguided policies and profiteering of large financial institutions.

These financial institutions have gained a foothold at universities. Agreements between them and universities allow them to market financial products to students using university logos and to hold exclusive rights to university space for ATMs and branches.

At best, these agreements limit student choice but give students convenient access to funds. At worst, they trap students in on-campus banking

n an age in which a vast amount of digital media can be accessed with just a few clicks on the Internet, it is easy to see how individuals can purposefully seek out copyrighted digital content online without thinking or knowing about the legal ramifications.

With that in mind, on Sept. 26, Eric Denna, university vice president and chief information officer, sent an email to the student body asking students to agree virtually to a pledge stating that they will refrain from using the university network for copyright infringing and file-sharing activity and follow the university’s Policy on the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources. For students to sign the pledge, they must copy and paste the pledge statement, sign their names as digital signatures and send them to pledge@umd.edu.

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act — established in 1998 at the burgeoning of the digital age — it is illegal to engage in file-sharing services, seek copyrighted content and pirate online content. Those who violate any of those tenets can be subject to civil and criminal liabilities, and those who do so on the university network might

monopolies in which high fees are the norm. This university is no exception to these sorts of risky relationships.

After months of petitioning university President Wallace Loh to release all contracts between Capital One Bank and the university, administrators gave the Student Labor Action Project access to the lease for campus ATMs. The lease agreement revealed that Capital One holds “exclusive banking rights” at our university of more than 37,000 students. In addition, Capital One uses the university’s Terrapins logo alongside the phrase, “BANK LIKE A TERP. BANK ON CAMPUS!” to market

financial products to students. This type of marketing encourages students to believe that the school recommends Capital One. SLAP demands transparency in regards to this instance of co-marketing, and we continue to call for the immediate release of all current agreements between our university and any financial institution so that students’ best interests are protected.

How personal statements can suck MARGARET ZELENSKI It’s that miserable time of the year. Yep, it’s graduate school application time. Thousands of us, including yours truly, are hunting down old professors for letters of recommendation, cramming in the last few chapters of the test books and trying to make our freshmanyear field trips look like community service. Whether you’re applying to graduate school, law school, medical school, business school or even your future career, you know the deal.

So many of us will also be writing a personal statement, the epitome of making a big deal out of something seemingly unrelated. “Of course I’ve wanted to be a lawyer since birth; it’s my destiny.” We’ve been conditioned to use what I call “sob stories” as the main focus of personal statements because they allegedly capture attention, evoke empathy and quicken acceptance letters. Be careful with using a sob story; they might be more detrimental than heartwarming.

Now when I say “sob stories,” I want to be clear that I’m not patronizing anyone’s personal story.

The phrase is just for fun; I proudly call my personal statement a sob story. A story about overcoming a hardship is interesting to read and can personalize you beyond a resume. But if you don’t back up that story with action, it stays just that: a sob story.

As a teaching assistant, I’ve seen my fair share of personal statements, and so many of them rub me the wrong way with their sob stories.

This hardship happened to you, you overcame it and you found your passion. And then what? Passion immediately translates into credentials for graduate school? What did you do to act on that passion? Did you do anything? OK, you moved

around a lot as a child, you learned how to be adaptable, you developed a passion for immigration law, and that’s why you should go to Harvard (taken out of my old personal statement, with love). Did you do any community service with an immigration office, help foreign exchange students with their English, make a short film about the depravity of human trafficking? No? Why do I want you in my law school?

I’ve seen so many great sob stories take a dive when the writer equates his or her passion for, let’s say, business to the reason he or she would be a good addition to the business school. What kind of graduate school wants to admit someone who has a passion he or she doesn’t act upon? Wouldn’t your personal statement sound so much more legitimate if your sob story evoked a passion for business and then you went on to do [insert internship/community service/project/ thesis here] to experience and build upon your passion? Graduate schools want to admit doers, not feelers.

If you did nothing to explore and practice your passion, I can’t imagine what you do with things for which you don’t have a passion. And we know graduate school has many of those things.

We know we aren’t supposed to reiterate our resumes in our personal statements, and I’m certainly not advising that. I simply am saying that validating your passion with action makes you sound mature, proactive and dedicated. Graduate school admissions departments have heard every sob story you can imagine, and they aren’t about to be stunned by yours.

They want to ensure that if you step foot on their campuses, you’ll uphold their standards of hard work and commitment, whether you’re passionate about it or not. Your goal is to prove that effort to them, not to prove you have the capacity to like stuff. Your Facebook profile is sufficient proof of that.

Yik Yak: Damaging the campus image KATIE STULLER Recently, Yik Yak has climbed to the top of the social media gossip ladder. While Twitter and Facebook offer news on global issues, upcoming events and recent relationship statuses, Yik Yak allows users to submit anonymous confessions and observations.

The anonymity of Yik Yak is what makes it so popular. Similar to a Twitter feed, Yik Yak orders the posts from most recent and most popular. Users can up-vote or downvote a post, depending on whether they find it funny and witty, or crude and disturbing.

But lately, many posts that should be considered disturbing are being up-voted. Users crack racist and sexist jokes. Posts about alcohol, drugs and sexual activity flood the feed. While some of the crude posts are slightly funny and entertaining, the majority of them could be filed as offensive or even considered hate crimes.

Many students already have suffered the consequences of Yik Yak. An anonymous user will post the address of a party, the name of a drug dealer or a threat toward an individual. The results quickly outshine that user’s five minutes of anonymous fame.

Police officers, resident directors and resident assistants have access to Yik Yak, as do all other individuals in the College Park area. The beauty of Yik Yak is that it provides a live feed of all the people closest to you. So next time you announce that there is a pregame in room 3829 or party down Metzerott Road, remember that the authoritative figure down the road just saw this as the latest post.

When an officer shows up on your doorstep, you won’t even know who posted your address. There is no way to solve a crime if the criminal can’t be identified.

And while this all sounds a bit dramatic and over-the-top (I am well aware that many users posts things just to get a rise out of others), Yik Yak does put a damper on this university’s image.

Yik Yak allows users to tap into the feeds of other universities across the nation. Do you really want future Terps choosing to come here because they looked on Yik Yak and saw that the girls here are “moist and ready”? Is it really OK to crack jokes about getting so blacked out you “died last night,” while Clemson University is mourning the loss of one of its students?

This is America, and you can say whatever you like, but it all just seems rather immature for the greatest student body in the nation.

orn today, you are a quick thinker, and one who is always looking ahead to see what is coming your way. This combination means that you are quite adept at anticipating not only the circumstances that you will be facing in the future, but also the actions that you should take -- and that others will take -- as those circumstances come upon you. Still, for all this, there is something more instinctive and purely intuitive about you than anyone might suppose -- and your greatest successes in life are likely to be the result not of careful planning, but of impulsive attempts to take advantage of opportunities you did not see coming.

Improvisation is one of your greatest strengths; you can make things up as you go with such ease and confidence that your actions aren’t likely to look “made up” or accidental in any way. When it comes to love, however, this can be hard on one who tries to sustain a relationship with you.

Also born on this date are: Jerry Lee Lewis, singer; Miguel de Cervantes, author; Gene Autry, actor; Madeline Kahn, actress and comedian; Mackenzie Crook, actor; Andrew Dice Clay, actor and comic; Ian McShane, actor; Bum Phillips, football coach; Larry Linville, actor; Greer Garson, actress; Horatio Nelson, British naval hero; Bryant Gumbel, TV journalist and sportscaster; Lech Walesa, Polish leader.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You may have to address a certain issue today that others are unwilling to face directly. This is a sign that you are trusted, surely!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -You may need a reminder or two today. Someone comes to you with an unusual proposition late in the day. You want to say yes!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s time for you to lay your objections on the table in a calm, rational and organized fashion. Others feel as you do, surely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A solitary endeavor provides you with some much-needed peace of mind today, even though some aspects of it may be quite difficult.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You know what has happened in the past, and you know what you want to have happen in the future. Today, you can bridge that considerable gap.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You may not be feeling quite up to par throughout a portion of the day, but your overall productivity should not be adversely affected.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are awaiting some important information at this time. See if you can’t involve someone who has been reluctant to sign up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You’re eager to touch base with someone who has important news to impart -- but you may not get the chance until after nightfall.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will be supported by those who understand just how difficult things may be for you at this time. Take care of things early on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have been sending mixed signals recently, which explains the lack of cohesion among teammates today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’ll need some prodding today before you are willing to “let go” and move ahead toward something possibly dangerous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The trouble you are facing today may be the result of an error you had nothing to do with -- one that was in place some time ago.

Rapper Joey Bada$$’s SEE show Thursday demonstrated his potential tom hausman/for the diamondback

By Michael Errigo @DBKDiversions Staff writer Joey Bada$$ doesn’t care whether you’ll like his new album, because Joey Bada$$ didn’t make it for you.

He only made it for Joey Bada$$.

“Don’t expect s---,” said the 19-year-old, Brooklyn-born rising rap star about his debut album, set to release sometime this fall. “Just accept it, whatever I bring.”

As he said this, Bada$$ sipped from a small plastic cup of ginger ale in a makeshift green room down the hall from Ritchie Coliseum. He was here Thursday night to headline the Student Entertainment Events back-to-school concert, Attack of the Backpack. He wore a black jacket that said “Brooklyn Construction” on the back and a pair of classic white Adidas with stripes. His wrists were gold: He had a gold bracelet on his left wrist and a gold watch on his right. His bucket hat matched those of so many of his fans waiting in the next room over.

He finished his album B4.DA.$$ on Wednesday (the album’s release date hasn’t been set yet) and is about to begin a three-month tour that will take him everywhere from Silver Spring to Stuttgart, Germany. He sat in a folding chair before the cup of ginger ale and also on the brink of a new phase in his career — one that may push him into new realms of fame. But he wasn’t nervous.

“Just tired,” he said. “Because I’ve got, like, this weird thing where I don’t take vacations until I’m rich.”

It’s that do-it-yourself machismo that’s helped Bada$$ — whose birth name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott — release his first mixtape, 1999, when he was only 17. It’s the attitude he intends to carry with him throughout his career.

“When I was making 1999, I wasn’t worried about anyone ex-

JOEY BADA$$ drank some ginger ale before his Thursday show in Ritchie Coliseum. tom hausman/for the diamondback pecting my music to sound a type of way, and that’s how I’m going to do my music for the rest of my life,” he said. “As long as it’s good to me and I feel it, that’s what it is. And my mom, too.”

Joining Bada$$ for the Thursday SEE show was a pair of EDM openers, TWRK and Henry Fong.

TWRK, a New York-based duo made up of artists BENZI and eSenTRIK, started off the night playing to a sparse crowd. But by the time Henry Fong took over the turntable, the audience had grown as the clock inched closer to Bada$$’s anticipated 8:30 p.m. start time. Fong took advantage of the ever-growing audience, using some slick tracks to send students’ hands into the air, his signature dreadlocks bouncing to and fro with every current of sound — a Medusa on the ones and twos.

But once the beats had stopped, the crowd remembered its original purpose for attending, and chants of “Joey! Joey! Joey!” rang throughout Ritchie before Fong could even say, “Thanks, you guys have been great.”

I t ’s n o t Fo n g ’s fa u l t , n o r TWRK’s. This crowd simply had one thing on its mind all night: Joey Bada$$.

“He’s probably one of the people that I’ve wanted to hear live the most

out of anyone that’s making music right now,” said sophomore journalism major Justin Meyer, one of the dedicated dozen who lined up before doors opened at 6:30 p.m.

“I would’ve gone a lot farther than from Leonardtown to Ritchie Coliseum to see him.”

“i wasn’t worried about anyone expecting my music to sound a type of way, and that’s how i’m going to do my music for the rest of my life.”

JOEY BADA$$ About 1,150 tickets were sold, according to SEE, but the turnout seemed to be about the quality of fans rather than the quantity; Ritchie was only two-thirds filled at peak attendance.

Those who did show up, though, did not go home disappointed.

“The concert was wild,” freshman engineering major Yousuf Naved said. “There was an amazing atmosphere, there was a lot of high energy, people were crazy, and Joey was amazing.”

All night long, fans could be overheard referring to him the same way: Joey. It’s a small word, one that is

attack of the backpack, SEE’s fall show, featured EDM artists Henry Fong (top) and TWRK (top right), along with Bada$$. Ritchie Coliseum was about two-thirds filled at the show’s peak. tom hausman/for the diamondback surely too simple to encompass what took place on stage after Henry Fong.

The full name is necessary to demonstrate the power of it: Joey Bada$$ killed it.

Joined on stage by his collaborating crew, Pro Era, the night’s main attraction delivered an hourlong performance that felt like a lightning strike. What started as two security guards manning the front gates between the crowd and the stage quickly became a dozen, at times having to push back — knees locked, calves clenching — against the sheer force of excitement. It wasn’t until organizers threatened to stop the music and Bada$$ himself asked them nicely that the crowd relented.

Navigating a track list that included old hits from 1999, a few tastes of his new album and a couple of Watch the Throne covers in a raspy, old-school semi-yell voice, Bada$$ seemed to keep turning up

the volume just when you thought it couldn’t go any higher.

Of all the collective screams of delight emitted from the crowd throughout the night, one of the largest came as the 19-year-old swaggered around on stage early in his performance, screaming fans not 10 feet in front of him inching closer and closer.

He was one song into his set, one day away from the start of a new tour and one album down with countless to go. He was dripping with confidence. He turned to the collection of blown minds and strained vocal chords in front of him and did something that he should get used to from now on: He introduced himself.

On Thursday, to a small crowd gathered in a gym in College Park.

Next, to the rest of the world.

FLUHARTY From PAGE 8 and Fluharty’s ability to control possession in the midfield played a vital role in creating opportunities and penalty corners.

Fluharty made a strong individual effort on a corner in the second half to score the final goal of the game. On a brokenup play off a corner, she kept her composure and worked well with midfielder Anna Dessoye, who passed her the ball after drawing two defenders.

“I was able to move by one defender and walk into the circle,” Fluharty said. “I had all the time in the world to smack it.”

Fluharty used the space to line up a hard shot, which she buried in the right-hand corner. And Sunday against Michigan State, Fluharty was the first to beat Spartans goalkeeper Sierra Patton. The Millsboro, Delaware native was positioned perfectly at the back post on the play, and when the cross came from forward Emma Rissinger, Fluharty easily tipped in the ball for the Terps’ first goal.

She wasn’t done, though.

After the Terps added a goal before the break, Fluharty made her way to the front of the goal while her teammates passed the ball around on a corner. The veteran player knew the ball was coming to her, but the Spartans didn’t.

Michigan State left her un-

7

guarded in front of the goal, and Fluharty redirected a bouncing ball from Sprink into the back of the net.

Her goals were part of a four-goal scoring barrage in a 16-minute span that broke the game wide open.

“I just felt like I was really able to run in the midfield,” Fluharty said. “I was able to get a couple of tips in.”

While Fluharty and the rest of the Terps were held scoreless for the remainder of the contest, she continued to play an important role on defense just as she did against the Wolverines. Fluharty is the flyer on defensive penalty corners, meaning she is the player who runs out of the goal toward the ball after the insert.

“She is one of the best in the world at it,” coach Missy Meharg said. “She has uncanny natural sense for that skill.”

As she has all season, Fluharty excelled this weekend as the flyer and limited the Terps’ opponents to one goal on nine penalty corners.

Whether it was her defense or her goal-scoring, Fluharty made an impact in several facets of the game this weekend. And Meharg will look to continue getting the Terps’ new leading goalscorer more opportunities in her final campaign.

“We need to get her in more scoring positions so I’m really pleased about that,” Meharg said. rbaillargeondbk@gmail.com

VOLLEYBALL From PAGE 8 outside hitter Adreené Elliott, the Terps’ leader in kills per set, who will miss the remainder of the season to a knee injury that will require surgery.

After a 3-0 loss to the Fighting Illini, though, the Terps didn’t want

KASINITZ From PAGE 8 a reverse in the first half.

Diggs, meanwhile, was a bit more explosive Saturday, tallying 112 yards on six catches and that touchdown off the screen pass in the second quarter.

The two wide receivers routinely outmatched Indiana’s cornerbacks to break free and often made positive plays after the catch by juking out defenders. With Diggs and Long playing the way they were, it felt as if the Terps could turn any play into six points. Indiana seemed hesitant in pressuring the quarterback because of the threat the duo posed.

It’s just not clear what the Terps can do to keep the two stars playing so well.

Diggs and Long might experience more consistent success if Rowe replaces Brown, whose status for next week is uncertain, as the starter. Brown, a senior, is a dangerous runner, but he struggles when forced to sit in the pocket. With Rowe’s stronger and more accurate arm in play, the Terps receivers are likely to catch more passes down the field for larger gains.

Plus, Brown’s success with his legs leads Locksley to include more designed run plays in the gameplan, which gives Diggs and Long less of an opportunity to make an imprint on each game.

So at first glance, it seems logical to assume that with

to settle in as a lower-tier team. They wanted to improve and compete.

“No one likes to lose,” outside hitter Emily Fraik said. “We’re all very competitive people, and we work our hardest in practice. … We knew that we could have played better, should have played better.

And we will.”

Errors plagued the Terps again this

Rowe as the quarterback, the Terps’ two most explosive players will be more involved.

But Saturday, Diggs and Long posted solid numbers while receiving passes from both quarterbacks.

Diggs had three catches and 72 of his yards in the first half. Though Long had more yards with Rowe under center for the final 30 minutes, the wide receiver brought in five receptions from each signal-caller.

So there was something about Saturday’s gameplan or about the wide receivers’ matchups that led to improved production against Indiana.

And the Terps should find whatever it was that led to Diggs and Long’s success and make sure to sustain it.

Against elite teams in t h e B i g Te n — s u c h a s No. 22 Ohio State, which visits Byrd Stadium this weekend — many of the Terps’ skill players will be outmatched and unable to produce positive plays. Diggs and Long, though, will be tough for anyone in the conference to defend if they stay involved in the offense.

So Locksley, coach Randy Edsall and whoever is under center should get Diggs and Long the ball at least a combined 15 times each game.

It might help the Terps compete against more talented teams, and it would be super entertaining to watch. akasinitzdbk@gmail.com

weekend. Aird said the best teams in the nation make roughly half the number of mistakes the Terps do.

“We’re an easy team to play because we give up too many points,” Aird said.

But a day after losing to Illinois, the Terps pushed Northwestern to a fifth set — the third time out of 13 matches the Big Ten powerhouse has needed all five to decide

BADGERs From PAGE 8 which the forwards have struggled mightily.

With less than 32 minutes remaining in regulation Friday, defender M ikey Ambrose lined up for a free kick in the corner of the scoring third. He sailed the ball into the box, and Metzger, with his back to the net, leaped above the defenders and headed the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

He sprinted toward the sideline, sliding into a crowd of jubilant teammates. Both of Metzger’s goals have come on headers this year.

“I don’t work on it too much,” Metzger said. “I’ve always had some good timing on my head balls. Like you’ve seen in some games, I win some head balls against some pretty big guys.”

About six minutes earlier, midfielder Michael Sauers put the Terps ahead with a chip shot from inside the box.

Then Metzger’s goal provided further security. “[Metzger’s] a great leader on and off the field,” Sauers said. “He’s always got his priorities straight, and it helps us get ours straight. When you have a guy like that it really, really helps a lot.”

Metzger has been impactful since the beginning of his Terps career. He appeared in 18 matches as a freshman

the match — and almost handed the Wildcats their second loss this season.

Aird didn’t feel his team deserved to be in a position to win against the Wildcats, but they still showed marked improvement in a short period of time.

So while the results might not show it, things were different in the

Terrapins men’s soccer midfielder before settling into the starting lineup as a sophomore.

Metzger, who was recently named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List and was an All-ACC first team selection last year, is the unquestioned leader for a program that has produced some the premier players over the past few decades. Cirovski compared Metzger to Terps greats Mullins and midfielder Graham Zusi, who played a crucial role on the United States national team in the World Cup over the summer.

Metzger contributed to the national program this past summer as well, playing on the U-23 squad. But at this point, Metzger is determined to lead the Terps back to the College Cup. “Danny’s a great emergence of a guy that went from here to here to here,” Cirovski said as he raised his hand higher with each word. “He makes players around him better. And that’s the best compliment of a player.” jmwalkerdbk@gmail.com

Fluharty keys two victories Midfielder tallies three goals as Terps top UM, Mich St

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Staff writer The Terrapins field hockey team lost a key starter at all three major positions from last year’s team, including former forward and leading scorer Jill Witmer, and struggled to find consistency with a new-look lineup early this year.

The Terps entered this past weekend with forward Moira Putsch and defender Sarah Sprink tied for the team lead with four goals.

But after a pair of wins against No. 14 Michigan and No. 18 Michigan State, midfielder Maxine Fluharty has emerged as the Terps’ leading scorer with six goals on the season.

Fluharty tallied three scores during the weekend to lead the No. 4 Terps to their first two Big Ten wins. The Terps earned a 2-0 victory over Michigan on Friday and used the momentum to defeat Michigan State, 4-2, on Sunday afternoon.

“I’ve known her for a long time and this weekend she really stepped it up a notch,” said forward Katie Gerzabek, who has played four years with Fluharty. “She wasn’t afraid to let it fly in the circle for a shot, and they went in.”

Through the first seven games of the season, the Terps averaged more than 22 shots per game, but those were hard to come by against a physical Wolverines defense. As a result, the Terps had added pressure to capitalize on opportunities.

The Terps scored twice on 13 shots, See FLUHARTY, Page 7

PLENTY TO CELEBRATE Metzger provides crucial contributions to push Terps past Wisconsin

By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Staff writer After speaking with a scrum of reporters following the Terrapins men’s soccer team’s 2-0 win over Wisconsin on Friday, coach Sasho Cirovski marched back toward the field sporting a slight grin.

Cirovski walked right into defensive midfielder Dan Metzger and gave his senior captain a hug.

Metzger had just spurred the Terps to a 2-0 victory over Wisconsin and their first winning streak of an uneven season by providing a

crucial 59th-minute goal while leading the Terps defense to its second consecutive shutout.

Moments earlier, Cirovski called Metzger the “best defensive midfielder in the country.”

“He’s told me it before,” Metzger said. “But the fact that he’s told everybody that, it means a lot coming from him.”

The Terps have won their last two games after slogging to one victory in their first six. Cirovski said Metzger sometimes tried taking on too much during the winless streak.

“Sometimes you just have to reduce his role a little bit because he tries to do everything,” Cirovsi said.

“You never have to worry about Danny’s effort.”

FOOTBALL

Metzger, serving his second year as captain, said he tries to lead by example. While former forward Patrick Mullins was more of a verbal leader, Metzger tries to motivate his teammates with his play and work ethic.

“I don’t try to put that pressure on me,” Metzger said. “I just try to work as hard as I can and hopefully it feeds off onto the rest of the team.”

While Metzger prides himself on being a defensive stopper and organizing the Terps in the opposition’s scoring third, his offensive production has provided a bonus element on a team on See BADGERS, Page 7

Terps drop match to Wildcats in five sets After 3-0 loss to Illinois in Big Ten debut, team claims two frames at Northwestern

WIDE RECEIVER DEON LONG turns up the field after making one of his 10 catches in Saturday’s victory at Indiana. photo courtesy of ben mikesell/the indiana daily student

A long time coming

Win at IU proves Diggs, Long should remain focal points AARON KASINITZ On the first play of the Terrapins football team’s quickest drive in Saturday’s 37-15 waxing of Indiana, quarterback C.J. Brown rifled a short screen pass to wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who slipped by several defenders and scampered for a 37-yard gain.

Two plays later, with the Terps h o l d i n g a 1 0 - 6 l e a d m i dwa y through the second quarter, Brown dropped back again and hit Diggs on a route across the middle of the field. The sure-handed junior hauled in the pass, outran a couple of Hoosiers defensive backs and flipped into the end zone for a 29-yard touchdown.

As Diggs brought center Sal

Conaboy and wideout Amba EttaTawo together to pretend to take a selfie in celebration, a quick thought ran through my mind: “Man, that was fun to watch.”

But then came a question: “Why don’t we see more of this?”

Diggs and fellow wide receiver Deon Long are, by a long shot, the Terps’ two most talented offensive players, and they each went over 100 yards receiving Saturday to spark the offense in a Big Ten-opening triumph. Before the win over Indiana, though, Diggs and Long had combined for just one individual 100yard performance, and that’s not good enough.

It’d be easy to criticize quarterback C.J. Brown, the run-first signal-caller who left Saturday’s game at halftime with a wrist

injury, for not throwing to Diggs or Long often enough. Offensive coordinator Mike Locksley could also shoulder some blame for the Terps’ playmakers’ lack of dominance through the first four games of the year. And the two receivers themselves clearly played a part in their middling stats.

Regardless, Saturday’s bout proved the Terps are most effective when Diggs and Long are involved in the offense, so they need to be focal points in the gameplan each time the Terps hit the field.

Brown and backup Caleb Rowe both targeted Long targeted early and often in the victory over the Hoosiers.

The senior pulled in 10 catches for 108 yards and had a 9-yard carry on See KASINITZ, Page 7

The score was 15-14 when libero Amy Dion went to serve for the Terrapins volleyball team. After Northwestern’s Yewande Akanbi’s attack error, the Terps had match point for the second time in the set.

The Terps squandered a chance at claiming the match by dropping the fourth set. So Dion’s serve marked the Terps’ third chance to snap their five-game losing skid and earn their first conference win of the Big Ten era.

But Northwestern avoided the Terps’ history books. The Wildcats controlled Dion’s serve, and Akanbi, who just a play earlier put the Wildcats in a hole, redeemed herself by providing the game-tying kill moments later. Northwestern went on to take the next two points and claim the five-set win.

The defeat was the Terps’ second loss of the weekend after dropping a match at No. 16 Illinois, 3-0, in their Big Ten debut a day earlier, which had been the team’s sixth defeat in its last seven matches.

In the Terps’ first weekend as a part of a new conference, the team experienced familiar results.

“We’re not going to have a ton of competitive success,” coach Steve Aird said. “We’re the underdog in most of the matches we’re going to play. But if we’re being judged on wins and losses, that’s the wrong approach. … the building blocks of a program are being established.”

“WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A TON OF COMPETITIVE SUCCESS. WE’RE THE UNDERDOG IN MOST OF THE MATCHES WE’RE GOING TO PLAY. BUT IF WE’RE BEING JUDGED ON WINS AND LOSSES, THAT’S THE WRONG APPROACH. …

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A PROGRAM ARE BEING ESTABLISHED.” STEVE AIRD

Terrapins volleyball coach They were the Terps’ 12th and 13th consecutive road games, but middle blocker Ashlyn MacGregor said the travel didn’t wear them down.

Instead, it was the atmosphere that played a role in the matches this weekend against Illinois (10-3, 2-0 Big Ten) and Northwestern (12-1, 2-0). The Terps (7-6, 0-2) knew to expect a rowdy environment in the Big Ten, but it still shook their concentration.

“The impact was being in front of their crowd and not having any of your people there,” MacGregor said.

But whether at home or on the road, the Terps’ ability to compete at the same level as their conference rivals was in question. They rank toward the bottom or middle — or aren’t ranked at all — of most statistical categories in the Big Ten. Also, the team was without See VOLLEYBALL, Page 7
