The purpose of the event was to fire up the high population of Democrats in Prince George’s County to participate in early voting, which starts Oct. 23. In the June primary elections, 95 percent of Prince George’s County voters chose the Democratic ticket, and 77 percent

of those voted for Brown, according to the county’s Board of Elections. In his speech, Brown decried this state’s 22 percent voter turnout in the primary. He recalled the Civil Rights Movement and the fight to earn black people the right to vote, calling it a “fundamental right and responsibility.” See obama, Page 2

SHOWING UP WHEn IT COUNTS

By Jeremy Snow @JeremyM_Snow, @dbkcrime Senior staff writer A McDonald’s security guard accidentally shot a woman inside the restaurant after a confrontation with two men at 2:51 a.m. yesterday. The shot came after a group of men attacked the security guard working outside of the business located in the 8300 block of Route 1, Prince George’s County Police spokeswoman Nicole Hubbard said. The guard used pepper spray and then fired his gun. The shot accidentally struck a woman inside who was not affiliated with the men. Her injuries were not life-threatening, and she is not affiliated with the university, police said. The security guard is not affiliated with county police, and it is not known whether the men are affiliated with the university, Hubbard said. The investigation is ongoing. Hubbard confirmed that the incident occurred outside a business in the 8300 block of Route 1 but would not confirm the restaurant was McDonald’s. That restaurant, however, is the only commercial establishment open there after 2 a.m.

Second-half touchdowns from Likely, Diggs key Terps’ homecoming win over Iowa By Daniel Popper @danielrpopper Senior staff writer The Terrapins football team clung to a three-point lead over Iowa late in the third quarter Saturday at Byrd Stadium. With starting quarterback C.J. Brown sidelined with an upper back injury, third-string signal-caller Perry Hills suffered three-and-outs in his first two series after replacing Brown. But two plays during the next seven minutes of action, one defensive and one offensive, changed the complexion of the game and led the Terps to a 38-31 homecoming victory against the Hawkeyes. The first game-altering moment came with four minutes, 18 seconds remaining in the third quarter during Hills’ third drive. The redshirt See hawkeyes, Page 3

Disaster bots add new focus to engineering programs

For graduate students, money worries continue to grow Families, homes up grad living expenses By Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl Staff writer

Specialty machines innovate disaster relief By Joe Zimmermann @JoeMacZim Staff writer For a brief time Friday morning, robots took over the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building’s lobby. A menagerie of machines — fish robots, flying robots, robots with electroad hesive feet — rol led, flapped, buzzed and whirred around the entrance of the engineering building as part of a showcase of disaster response robots in the Maryland Robotics Center. The event was part of Mpact Week, the second annual program highlighting research in the engineering school. Because of the prevalence of environmental and manmade disasters like Ebola, earthquakes, oil spills and Wednesday’s tornado warning, the engineering college decided to make disaster resilience this year’s theme, said

Salvatore Cardile’s wife was expecting their first child when payment for his summer course in terrorism analysis was due in June. The class cost $2,166, and to pay this balance in full would require taking food or electricity away from his family. So when Cardile, who earned his bachelor’s degree from this university and graduated from law school at the University of Baltimore before returning to this campus to pursue a graduate certificate, didn’t qualify for a student payment plan, which is only offered for fall and spring semesters, he knew he’d have a problem. “I called [the bursar’s office] in May and said, ‘I simply just can’t afford it. I won’t have the money. I don’t have access to the money. I have a wife and a child on the way, and I’ve only been practicing for about a year and a half. I’m fresh

into the workforce,’” Cardile said. He was not able to pay his full balance when it was due, so Cardile was charged a late fee, which he appealed. The bursar’s office responded that it “could not justify to an auditor that there were valid reasons why your account was not paid by the appropriate due dates,” according to an email Cardile received from the office. “Being told that my family and my finances were not a valid reason to waive, not tuition, but to waive a late fee, was a real smack in the face,” Cardile said. His story represents a trend in higher education. While student loans, debt and financial stability are major concerns for undergraduate and graduate students, the latter often face additional financial challenges while pursuing their degrees. “There is a really big difference between grad students’ financial concerns versus the financial concerns of undergrads,” said Deborah Hemingway, Graduate Student Government president. “As you get older, your financial needs change.” In addition to paying for student debt, loans and the rising costs of See Loans, Page 3

Education became a focus of several of the speeches at the rally, which was held at Wise High School in Upper Marlboro. “In this country, higher education is a sure path to the middle class,” Obama said. “Under Anthony and Martin O’Malley, more Maryland students are graduati ng from h igh school a nd more students are enrolling in college. They’ve done more in this state to hold down public tuition than any state in America, and if you elect Anthony Brown, he has pledged to keep on that path.” Obama also spoke about B row n’s c om m it m e nt to expand pre-kindergarten to all residents, which received resounding applause from the crowd. A poll by this university and The Washington Post found that 74 percent of residents support expanding pre-K funding.

Loans From PAGE 1 higher education, graduate students might also need to afford starting a family or buying a house — issues that typically do not affect undergraduates. “We’re just at a different place in our life, usually,” Hemingway said. U.S. News & World Report found in 2010 that the average in-state graduate program cost $30,000 per year, including living expenses. Standard graduate tuition at this university is $602 per credit for state residents and $1,298 per credit for out-ofstate students. However, this might vary from program to program. For example, tuition for the full-time master’s in business administration program on this campus is $1,465 per credit for state residents and $1,765 per credit for out-of-state students. Completing the program requires earning 54 credits, or spend-

ing $95,310 in out-of-state tuition ($79,110 in-state). Joe Braun, a third-year doctoral candidate in government and politics and father of two, said without an external means of support, such as family members who can assist financially, pursuing a graduate degree is extremely difficult or nearly impossible. “The way the graduate stipend system — the graduate salary system — is set up, people with families and people from lower-middle class backgrounds are pretty much excluded from the ability to get a Ph.D.,” Braun said. While doctoral candidates receive tuition remission from the university , they are paid very little, Braun said. “I’m fortunate because my spouse actually makes a salary that is big enough to basically support us both, but if I didn’t have that … grad school wouldn’t be an option for me,” Braun said. Hemingway said increasing graduate student financial literacy and financial well-

ness is a key GSG initiative this year. The GSG hopes to accomplish this by creating a Web page of on-campus, offcampus and online resources available to graduate students. While this might be a helpful project for many students and a step in the right direction, Braun said the problem must be addressed on a state level. “Ultimately it’s state legislatures that aren’t contributing enough money to their university systems, so these departments are cashstrapped and they’re put in a position where they cannot financially support their students,” Braun said. Braun pointed to this university’s recent establishment of a food bank as an example of this issue. “I think that illustrates the situation pretty well,” Braun said. “They literally have to turn to charity in order to provide their undergraduate students and their graduate students food.” lschapitldbk@gmail.com

Another team designed software for a quadcopter, a small, sleek helicopterl i k e m a c h i n e w i t h fo u r rotors. While the machine recorded the brightness of the K im Bu ild ing’s f loor Friday, junior Daniel Villalobos said that with its mini camera and software that detects image brightness, this quadcopter has potential to do far more. “In a forest fire, you could fly one of these with a setup that uses this software to find the most intense areas of the fire so they can concentrate on those,” the aerospace engineering major said. These projects might not be ready to go into action yet, but Gupta said he hopes robots will soon be adopted on a larger scale in disaster response.

T h i s u n i v e r s i t y ’s U nman ned A ircraft Systems Test Site could be bringing its own robots into the field through its work with the Southern Ma ryla nd Electric Cooperative, known as SMECO. SMECO could use the UAS’s unmanned aerial vehicles in preparing for disaster response, said Matt Scassero, d i rector of th is university’s UAS Test Site. “W hen there’s any kind of hu r r ic a ne or tor n a d o, they have to find where the damage is,” he said. “They know there’s damage to an area, but they don’t know ex act ly where it i s. T hey don’t know what the damage is, and they don’t know: Can they get to it? Are the roads clear? So they can possibly use unmanned air systems to go find a route, [find] what’s the damage so I know what to bring with me to fix it.” Their machines might also include an electromagnetic field sensor to establish the presence or absence of electricity, Scassero said. The

UAS Test Site’s unmanned aerial vehicles, which can reach 20 feet in wingspan, were not being demonstrated in the Kim Building. Mpact Week, which runs from Oct. 16 to Wednesday and features everything from talks about Ebola to forums on public policy, focuses on engineering real solutions that can affect people’s lives, Pines said. Not only do robots have the potential to help respond to disasters in the future, but they have already played a part, he said, referencing the Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil disaster in April 2010. “T he fina l solution was u nder water robotics that could operate in extreme, one mile below the surface of the ocean environment,” Pines said. “Even though it was a human-made disaster that we created, another hu ma n-made solution we created helped stop the environmental disaster.”

of 1 yard on six plays and were forced to punt twice. Once again, Edsall felt a turning point approaching. Standing on the sideline watching the ball back in Rudock’s hands, the fourth-year coach thought to himself, “Boy, it would be nice to get a defensive score.” And as he’s done many times this season, Likely delivered. On third-and-6 from the Iowa 42-yard line, the Hawkeyes offense set up in shotgun formation with no running backs in the backfield and five receivers, three of them split to the left. Likely had seen this formation in film and knew what route combination was coming. So as soon as Rudock received the snap and turned to his left to fire a pass to running back Damon Bullock, Likely was ready.

He jumped in front of the throw, secured the interception and left all red and white jerseys in his wake as he glided 45 yards for the touchdown. “It was a big play,” said Likely, who also returned an interception 88 yards for a touchdown in a win at Syracuse on Sept. 20. “We came in clutch as a unit.” Edsall said Likely’s pick was the “biggest play of the ballgame.” Brown returned for the Terps’ next possession and later led the team on a nine-play, 54-yard touchdown drive to extend the lead to 17 points, one the team never relinquished. “We stayed together. We stuck to the plan,” Likely said. “And we just made plays.”

hawkeyes From PAGE 1 sophomore quarterback slung a screen pass to Stefon Diggs on the outside, and the speedy wideout dashed 53 yards for a touchdown to put the Terps up 10 points. Then after a Hawkeyes touchdown cut the lead back to three points, another one of coach Randy Edsall’s explosive athletes broke free in the fourth quarter. This time, it was 5-foot-7 Will Likely, who jumped an out route to intercept a pass from Iowa quarterback Jacob Rudock before sprinting 45 yards for his second pick-six and third touchdown of the season. “It’s great to have playmakers like Will, like Stefon,” Edsall said. “That’s what you want. You want

guys to pick other guys up when things happen.” The scores from Likely and Diggs were crucial in a game littered with obstacles for the Terps. The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 14-0 lead after less than 10 minutes of play, as Rudock engineered scoring drives in his first two possessions. The Terps responded with 17 unanswered points before the close of the half, though, led by the legs of Brown, who finished with 88 yards rushing in the first two quarters and 99 in the game. However, Brown was forced to leave the game after the Terps’ first offensive series of the third quarter after sustaining a punishing hit from cornerback Desmond King near the right sideline. With backup Caleb Rowe out

for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee he suffered during practice, Hills entered the game — his first action in more than a season — and completed just two of his first five pass attempts. Despite the redshirt sophomore’s struggles, the game remained locked at 17-14 for most of the third quarter, as the Terps defense forced the Hawkeyes to puntonthreestraightpossessions. Edsall could sense the game hanging in the balance. One play and the Terps could lose the lead. That’s when Diggs hauled in a screen pass near the right sideline. And with blockers in front of him, the junior weaved through several Iowa defenders before finding daylight down the right sideline. Seconds later, he waltzed into the end zone to electrify the an-

nounced 48,373 in the stands. “It was just me doing my job,” said Diggs, who caught nine passes for 130 yards in the game. “I got some real, real key blocks.” The score made it a twopossession game. But perhaps more importantly, the 53-yard scamper provided relief for Hills — an inexperienced player struggling in a difficult position during an important moment. “That’s why you love to have Stefon on the team,” Hills said. “It’s amazing. It truly is.” The adversity didn’t end there, though. Rudock led the Hawkeyes 51 yards for a touchdown on the next possession, a drive keyed by a 46-yard kick return from Jonathan Parker. And when Hills took the field again for the next two series, the Terps offense compiled a combined loss

GamerGate isn’t an Rewarding academic behavior all-male movement STAFF EDITORIAL

ith this university’s move to the Big Ten, it could become very easy for it to place a higher emphasis on athletic performance instead of academic performance. However, that has not been the case. On Tuesday, a University System of Maryland policy was passed through the Board of Regents’ Organization and Compensation Committee, stating that if student-athletes at this university and other system institutions that field Division I teams fail to achieve minimum academic standards, coaches and athletic directors would be denied contract bonuses. Student-athletes’ academic achievements are extrapolated using their scores on the Academic Progress Rate created by the NCAA. The APR is a team-based metric that measures the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete during each term of study, according to the NCAA website. The policy moves to a full Board of Regents vote Friday, and if it should pass, the policy would apply to all future coaches and athletic directors in the university system who work with Division I teams. Incentive and performance bonuses are standard in contracts for coaches and athletic directors, so if this policy were to pass, this state would be a trailblazer in this endeavor. According to the proposed Policy on Academic Achievement in Intercol-

legiate Athletics, the point of the new policy is to make sure each institution in the university system is upholding educational values. The Organization and Compensation Committee sweetens the academic pot by saying that institutions should aim to surpass the APR’s minimum threshold of a score of 930 out of 1,000. OUR VIEW

Coaches at this university should not receive bonuses unless student-athletes meet academic requirements. In light of a Big Ten homecoming win, the decision to move this policy through the necessary channels to become active highlights that this university intends to keep the value of education at its core. And hopefully, coaches, athletic directors and student-athletes will view education as a priority as well. Attending college is about education and earning a degree, and coaches need to prioritize academic performance over athletic performance. Money often is regarded as the most influential incentive, so this university is smart to use that to its advantage and make coaches’ bonuses hinge on

whether their teams meet academic standards. For student-athletes, time spent with coaches could exceed the amount of time spent off the field or court. Coaches are incredibly influential and should use this influence to help student-athletes realize their studies and academic achievements hold more importance than how many points they score during a game. Even if coaches were not receiving performance bonuses based on their student-athletes’ academic performances, they still should instill their players with the value of education. A stipulation in the proposed policy states that teams at this university will be evaluated on a year-to-year basis, as opposed to a four-year average evaluation, to make sure new coaches and athletic directors are not penalized or given a leg up by previous coaches’ actions. It is a fair decision to evaluate year-to-year to keep a close watch on the student-athletes and their coaches, making it easier to pinpoint the level of academic achievements for student-athletes and what their coaches do for those achievements. If this policy passes, the university will be making an important step in illustrating that this university and other system institutions value education and expect their coaches and athletic directors to value it as well.

Not so equal under law CAROLINE CARLSON Our Facebook accounts provide us with so much more than just a way to communicate with our friends. Whether we want them to or not, our profiles represent how others typically remember us, regardless of any actual physical interaction we might have had with them. That’s why impersonating someone on Twitter or Facebook seems like one of the largest invasions of privacy. In simplest terms, online impersonation is someone else creating your reputation for you, using your identity for his or her own benefit. Recently, the Drug Enforcement Administration has got into hot water for creating a fake Facebook profile and impersonating a woman whose photos they had seized. The profile, created by DEA agent Timothy Sinnigen, contained photos taken from the phone of a woman named Sondra Prince, who also goes by the last name Arquiett. The photos had been acquired in connection to a New York drug ring investigation. The profile was posed to be someone selling cocaine, an attempt to lure in major buyers from drug rings in New York. Photos used in the falsified profile include Prince in “either a two-piece bathing suit or a bra and underwear,” as well as one of Prince splayed provocatively on top of a car’s hood, according

to an August court filing by the federal government. Though the justice department originally defended this practice, it has since decided to review its use of false Facebook profiles in criminal investigations. This practice, which is actually legal under U.S. law, still raises many moral questions. In our digital age, should allowing law enforcement to search your property automatically translate to allowing the use of your identity? And does allowing this actually do more harm than good? In addition to Prince’s lawsuit against the DEA, Facebook has taken the matter into its own hands, requesting assurances that the DEA won’t use fake profile pages any longer, as it conflicts with the site’s community standards. From an ethical perspective, it’s highly questionable whether practices like these will ultimately expand the power law enforcement has when it comes to seizing personal information. There’s a huge difference between allowing the government to search your property with a warrant and allowing them to search your property, then download and post your photos on your behalf and assume your identity. Just because something is legal doesn’t make it acceptable. With the DEA’s recent actions in the war on drugs, I wouldn’t be surprised if its reputation was tarnished even further: In September, the DEA found itself in trouble for shooting a grandmother while she was trying to pick up her grandchild during a house raid. Additionally, The Washington Post recently reported that the

DEA, along with other federal entities, collaborated to create a network of motorists’ data called the Black Asphalt Electronic Networking & Notification System, which law enforcement used to compete to see who could seize the most contraband and cash from highway drivers. The network was used without government oversight. Solving federal investigations can sometimes involve a tough balance between protecting an individual’s privacy and making inroads into finding possible drug dealers or other criminals. Though I’d argue the war on drugs isn’t worth the fight, there are certain steps federal officials can take to maintain this balance. Using certain approved photos from paid volunteers, for instance, would be an improvement. Eliminating loopholes for cops to make drastic, unnecessary moves like competing to make the most asset forfeitures and posting photos online of how much cash they seized would also be a welcoming move. Regardless of the legal definition of personal privacy, the DEA and other federal agencies shouldn’t be taking advantage of private individuals’ identities without clear consent. Not only should agencies think they are morally above doing so, but we should also fear these agencies’ future capabilities. If they can assume our identities with a simple warrant, then what’s next?

GamerGate was trying to achieve. But you wouldn’t believe what the gamer press said next. Shortly after things got heated, Gamasutra, Destructoid, Kotaku, Ars Technica, Vice and Rock, Paper, Shotgun all published stories in the same oneweek period announcing some variant of “gamers are dead.” Gamers (their readers) are obtuse, white, misogynistic men, they explained. Corruption, they said, was just a clever excuse to help men harass women. Women in the movement, Ars Technica stated, were “sockpuppet accounts,” men pretending to be minorities. This obviously came as a shock to me because if I were a puppet, I hope I would notice the insertion of a hand. The source of the united publication front became clear when emails were leaked from various publications discussing a “feel better” gift for Quinn and killing the stories. In the emails, Jason Schreier of Kotaku asked not to be involved, saying Quinn’s public shaming “has raised enough questions about the incestuous relationship between press and developers already.” However, by then, nothing could have convinced people that I was not a misogynist. Ricky Camilleri of The Huffington Post fixated multiple interviews on misogyny and harassment related to GamerGate, even wasting a full half hour with Georgina Young of Gamesided, YouTuber Jennie Bharaj and Jemma Morgan, making these female gamers jump through hoops to defend GamerGate as a pro-women movement. Joy-Ann Reid, reporting on GamerGate for MSNBC on Oct. 13, straight up asked a guest “why these male gamers are so angry.” I’m a female gamer, and I’m angry. I’m not a shield that bad reporters can hide behind. I don’t support harassment. I don’t believe journalists answer to a god of ethics, but they sure answer to their readers, and despite our marginalized status, gamers are not the drooling cavemen reporters think we are. My demands are simple: Disclose your garbage, stop taking bribes and stop dumping on minorities.In the meantime, I’ll start telling people “I’m a she!”

I stopped correcting people for mis-gendering me online almost a decade ago. As a minority with nothing to gain from the attention, I default to becoming a man in anonymous public spaces. With the explosion of the GamerGate movement online, I’m going to start correcting people again. Concentrated in the video gaming community, GamerGate started in August with the harassment of indie developer Zoe Quinn. Nathan Grayson, a writer for Kotaku, wrote about a game show on which Quinn was featured shortly before they entered a romantic relationship. Grayson only disclosed his relationship to Steven Totilo, Kotaku’s editor in chief, after the public found out. Despite arguments to the contrary, Quinn maintained that attacks against her were launched by women-haters. We must force gaming reporters into disclosure. If journalists support indie projects, attend review events or donate to developers, they should disclose it. The response: Tracey Lien of Polygon disclosed (and later pulled) that she got free water at a media event. Anita Sarkeesian, known among gamers for the harassment she faced during the creation of her series Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, then returned to the spotlight. Her latest episode attacks using women as background decoration in games, which I agree is an issue, but it came across as intentionally badly researched. I supported the movement for canning it, because her blind bad-mouthing stood in the way of real rhetoric. Quinn’s sex life is not the crux of this issue, and Sarkeesian doesn’t deserve to be attacked for anything other than misrepresenting the voice of a minority. The harassment they both faced was wrong. The fallout, in which several female developers decided to leave the in- Emma Atlas is a senior government dustry after online harassment, is the and politics major.

To bee or not to bee is the real question IAN LACY

Based on those figures, it is clear our lives are intertwined with bees’ lives. So the next time you think bees are bothering you by trying to nibble the food you are eating, remember they are most likely responsible for that food’s existence. Increased biodiversity is a byproduct of bee pollination. Biodiversity refers to the amount of diversity among plants, animals and other species, and it is important because all organisms in an ecosystem have beneficial roles to play. If you eliminate certain organisms and reduce the biodiversity of an ecosystem, you can alter the way an ecosystem functions. Pollinators such as bees also pollinate nonagricultural plants, increasing food sources for wildlife. While it might seem as if pollination is an unlimited resource and pollinators can magically keep performing this ecosystem service, this is sadly not the case. In part because of habitat loss, bees and other pollinators rapidly are losing the ability to pollinate at high rates. The success of human civilization is linked to our small buzzing companions. Whether bees are pollinating our food or wild plants, they are working and benefiting all life on the planet. Unfortunately, bee populations are declining, which could spell bad news for mankind. One of the greatest minds of the 20th century, Albert Einstein, said this of bees: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

Before all this cold weather arrived, most university students could agree that bees around the campus were ever-present. Whether you were throwing away some trash outside McKeldin Library or attempting to eat lunch outside Stamp Student Union, you generally had to find a way to coexist with our little buzzing friends. While bees might seem like a nuisance in our day-to-day lives, most people do not understand their importance to us and to the environment. Bees play a massive part in industrial agriculture and the increase of biodiversity in wild plant life. However, these bees need our help. When I say bees play an important role in agriculture, I understate their importance. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports the estimated monetary value of insect pollination to agriculture could be as high as $200 billion. This figure is based mainly on the global impact of bees and their pollination of crops. In the United States, agriculture is incredibly dependent on honeybees’ pollination services, which a 2000 Cornell University study estimated were worth $14.6 billion to the industry. Crops such as apples, blueberries, cherries, melons and broccoli are 90 percent dependent on honeybee pollination. Yield and quality also would be greatly reduced in other Ian Lacy is a senior kinesiology major. He can be reached at ilacydbk@gmail.com. crops.

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER

orn today, you are endowed with a great many interests that you can, throughout your lifetime, develop into specific talents. These can, in turn, lead to some amazing accomplishments. What interests you most keenly is likely to be that which is quite unusual, rare or unconventional, and you will surely be drawn to those things like a moth to a flame. The metaphor is quite apt, for the very interests that give your life meaning can also be quite dangerous to you if you fail to use caution and chart your course with great care. You want to avoid self-immolation, surely! You may not be as capable when it comes to love and other relationships as you are in your work -- or even your hobbies. It may be that your communication skills are somewhat lacking, or that you can at times be too self-concerned. Whatever the reason, a lasting love may, for a time, be somewhat elusive. Also born on this date are: Snoop Dogg, rapper; Viggo Mortensen, actor; Danny Boyle, filmmaker; Tom Petty, singer-songwriter and musician; Jerry Orbach, actor; Mickey Mantle, baseball player; Art Buchwald, humorist; Bela Lugosi, actor; Christopher Wren, architect. 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) -- A slow start doesn’t have to mean you’ll remain behind; you can catch up when you reach your stride. Energy and efficiency are high. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Some undercurrents give you reason to worry about certain plans. What you cannot see may affect you in ways you cannot anticipate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you’re considering a different path, remember: Any change you make must include those who have helped you so far. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself involved in a situation that is far more complicated than any you had foreseen. Get out when you can! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There’s no reason to interrupt the flow before you finish what you have planned to do. Distractions are completely avoidable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Someone is waiting to see what you have up your sleeve. You will want to make them wait a little longer until things ripen a bit more.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The information you pass on to another may not be entirely up to date. When you discover this, however, you can correct any errors. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -You may be leaving a bit too much to another’s imagination. Try to give him or her a little more to go on! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A collaborative effort is bound to fall short if you are unwilling to share everything you know about the prevailing circumstances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may want to consider altering your course or changing the way you do some of the little things that have far-reaching effects. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Some may consider you one of the best, but others may be critical of your personal style. It’s only a matter of taste.

ESSAY | FOOD IN COLLEGE PARK

enough with the pizza Everyone’s whining about the overabundance of pizza joints in College Park, so here are some restaurants we actually need

PIZZA PIZZA

PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA

file photo/the diamondback

By Zoë DiGiorgio @zozoembie Staff writer Blaze Pizza’s grand opening Thursday means the pizza market in College Park has been officially oversaturated. With Slices, known for its unique toppings, Pizza Kingdom, which distinguishes itself with large slice size, and Ratsie’s, mainly great because of its proximity to a majority of the Route 1 bars, many object to Blaze’s arrival, even though the business is providing customization for the tried-and-true dish. Though many pizza restaurants are popping up, College Park eateries aren’t meeting some cravings. It’s hard to predict which restaurants will become mainstays in the area, as many unique restaurants have failed to catch on with students and visitors to this university, resulting in sudden closures. Below are five restaurant types

College Park needs within walking distance to the campus, and why they are likely to thrive.

Dim sum A dim sum restaurant would flourish on Route 1 for a variety of reasons. As much as I love sushi, I know there are too many sushi places around and quite a few other Asian restaurants that offer the same few menu items. It’s easy to get tired of lo mein, General Tso’s chicken, teriyaki dishes and, yes, even spicy tuna rolls. Dim sum is a series of small dishes served a la carte. You can choose to grab a basket of steamed buns, dumplings, potstickers, roasted meats or dessert tarts. A dim sum restaurant would be perfect in College Park not only for its novelty, but also for its style. The choices of small dishes in a casual environment would be perfect for a cash-strapped college student who

wants to have a nice meal.

italian I just ranted about pizza overload on Route 1, and now I’m advocating an Italian restaurant. As someone whose white blood cells might as well be made of minced garlic, I know there is more to Italian food than pizza. Whenever my family members visit me in College Park, they always lament that there isn’t a real Italian place nearby. While Ledo is the closest to the real thing, it feels like an American restaurant with an Italian twist (it also carries wings and subs). Noodles & Company’s “Mediterranean” pastas don’t cut it. Olive Garden doesn’t even count. What we need is a real family-style Italian place — food that’s exquisitely tasty with a sense of comfort and hominess.

ramen It is a universal truth that college stu-

dents eat ramen, but few of them eat the real thing. Instant noodles are good for a quick fix when studying, but honestto-goodness ramen is a filling meal. Loaded with vegetables and a variety of proteins such as pork and egg, the noodles are served in a hearty broth that cures even the most rabid of hungers. Locals have already proven they love pho, as evidenced by the two pho restaurants nearby. A good ramen bar might be just the thing to bring a balanced and relatively fast meal to busy College Park residents.

indian Though there’s Spice 6’s modern take on Indian food in Hyattsville and the little-known Food Factory across from the Varsity, there really is no go-to Indian place around the campus, which is a tragedy. There are few types of cuisine as rich or flavorful as Indian food, and its dishes appeal to every kind of palate.

Some might hesitate to try Indian at first, as the dishes are sauce-like and colorful, but going to an Indian restaurant can be a fun group activity to share multiple entrees.

bakery

There are only a few places to go near the campus for your starchy needs. Bagel Place has the breakfast bread market cornered, and discount day-old bread from Jimmy John’s is the closest to fresh you can get on Route 1. If you want a good pastry, your options are even more limited — perhaps only to what’s behind the counter at Starbucks. A bakery would waft the heavenly smell of fresh rolls and pastries onto Route 1, and there’s nothing like making a pit stop for fresh baked goods to really break away from the stresses of school. zdigiorgiodbk@gmail.com

Yesterday, Cirovski’s team outshot Indiana (8-2-3, 2-2-1) 12-11 and took advantage of their opportunities.

The Terps scored again in the 52nd minute as defender Alex Crognale headed home a cross from forward Mikias Eticha, a goal that provided a cushion that kept the Terps in the lead when Indiana broke through about 20 minutes later.

He only had two saves, but they proved imperative. Indiana increased the pace late in the game, sending several runners into the box and aggressively attacking the Terps backline. The Terps struggled early in the season and earned one win in their first five matches. With the No. 97 RPI in the nation about two weeks ago, they were at risk of not qualifying for the national tournament. But after Sunday’s win, Cirovski spoke of competing not just for a conference

championship, but also for a national championship. On one of the sidelines at Jerry Yeagley Field, several numbers are posted to commemorate Indiana’s accomplishments: eight national championships, 14 regular-season titles, 12 tournament titles. The Hoosiers won the 12th Big Ten Championship last year after overcoming a difficult regular season. And they tried to fight back against the Terps yesterday, but the Terps picked up a marquee victory against the program that inspired Cirovski. “It’s just nice to see the smiles on these player’s faces,” Cirovski said.

Smotrycz to miss 4 to 6 weeks with fractured foot Senior forward breaks bone in Friday’s practice before Maryland Madness, has surgery set for later this week By Aaron Kasinitz @AaronKazreports Senior staff writer

fORWARD Evan SMotrycz watches Friday night’s Maryland Madness from the bench while a boot covers his fractured left foot. The senior is expected to undergo surgery later this week. christian jenkins/the diamondback

Terrapins men’s basketball forward Evan Smotrycz is scheduled to have surgery later this week to repair a broken bone in his left foot and will miss four to six weeks, coach Mark Turgeon announced Sunday. Smotrycz, one of four Terps seniors on scholarship, suffered the injury late in Friday’s practice. The Reading, Massachusetts, native averaged 11 points and six rebounds last season while shooting 40.1 percent from the field. The injury could force Smotrycz to miss the Nov. 14 season opener against Wagner and might keep

him out through the College Basketball Experience Hall of Fame Classic tournament in Kansas City, Missouri, that will run from Nov. 24 to 25. Barring setbacks, Smotrycz should be on the floor well before the Terps begin Big Ten play in late December. “We are really disappointed for Evan, but knowing his high character and tireless work ethic, we have full confidence he will return and finish strong in his senior season,” Turgeon said in a statement. “We have confidence that our front court players will step up in Evan’s absence.” Smotrycz’s injury marks the third time in four years a Terps rotational player was injured in the preseason. Guard Pe’Shon Howard missed the

start of the 2011-12 season, and guard Seth Allen was sidelined for the Terps’ first 12 games last season with a broken bone in his foot. It’s unclear how the Terps will replace the 6-foot-9 Smotrycz, who made 28 starts last season, but the team has options. The Terps could employ a small lineup and move 6-foot-9 Jake Layman to the power forward position while playing three guards on the floor at the same time. If Turgeon opts for a bigger lineup, he could start two of the Terps’ three scholarship interior players: forwards Jon Graham, Damonte Dodd and Michal Cekovsky. akasinitzdbk@gmail.com

FOOTBALL | COLUMN

Terps stay hot, beat Indiana 2-1 victory marks second consecutive win over ranked foe By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Staff writer When Sasho Cirovski played at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the early 1980s, coach Jerry Yeagley led Indiana to national championships in Cirovski’s sophomore and junior seasons. So as Cirovski built the Terrapins men’s soccer team into a respected program, he used Yeagley and Indiana as inspiration. But despite winning two NCAA titles, Cirovski had never earned a victory against the program he admired so much entering the Terps’ tilt with the Hoosiers on Sunday. The Terps bucked that trend yesterday with a 2-1 win over No. 5 Indiana at Jerry Yeagley Field, which marked their first road victory of the season. The win moves the Terps into a second-place tie in the Big Ten with Michigan State. “It’s an extremely satisfying win because of the great respect I have for the Indiana program and the fact that it’s my first win ever against Indiana, as a player or a coach,” Cirovski said. “But that’s secondary to the meaningfulness of this win for our program, and [it] keeps us on the right path towards the end of the season.” The victory marks the second consecutive week the Terps (7-5-2, 3-2-1 Big Ten) defeated a team ranked in the top five in the nation. On Oct. 12, they thumped then-No. 3 Penn State, 4-0, at Ludwig Field. But Cirovski said yesterday’s road victory was just as satisfying. The win will raise the Terps’ RPI and might propel them to a spot in the national rankings for the first time since mid-September. See HOOSIERS, Page 7

‘JUST NEVER SAY DIE’ Terps’ resilient win over Iowa serves as key moment for program

AARON KASINITZ As he has after each Terrapins football home win over the past couple seasons, Randy Edsall walked into the Glazer Auditorium in Gossett Team House on Saturday, sat down for a postgame press conference and began spewing cliched lines. The fourth-year coach lauded his team after a 38-31 victory over Iowa because his players “just never say die.” He said the Terps stepped up and executed to the best of their abilities and played every play as though it was their last. Typical boring, nondescript coachspeak. Except Saturday afternoon, the overused phrases fit. The Terps had plenty go wrong before and during the homecoming contest with the Hawkeyes, but they never collapsed, fending off each setback and playing one of their most

Midfielder Sarah Fichtnerpasses in the draw with Illinois. alexander jonesi/the diamondback

complete games this season. Though the Terps committed their share of gaffes on the afternoon, their resiliency makes the win, which moved the team to 5-2 and came over a respected Big Ten foe, the most significant victory of the season and one of Edsall’s best moments at the helm in College Park. After falling behind 14-0, the Terps responded to secure the largest comeback win in Edsall’s tenure. They didn’t sputter when third-string quarterback Perry Hills was forced into action. And when Iowa threatened to take the lead back late in the fourth quarter, the Terps defense made a fourth-down stop to help hold off the Hawkeyes. The Terps overcame each taxing trail to put away an Iowa team that had just one loss entering the weekend and blew out Indiana a week earlier. “We just knew we’d have to keep fighting,” outside linebacker Yannick Ngakoue said. If a similar game presented itself in Edsall’s first two seasons, the Terps probably would’ve crumpled

and failed to respond to a deficit or remain sharp with a reserve under center. The triumph over the Hawkeyes shows how far the program has come. Now the Terps have a veteran defense, which patched up its issues after allowing two early scores. Also, Hills — who was moved into a second-string role after backup Caleb Rowe tore his ACL on Tuesday and entered the game when starter C.J. Brown went down with a back injury — has been in College Park for three years and felt comfortable filling in. And they have a tough leader in Brown, who played poorly at points Saturday but returned to the game in the fourth quarter to polish off a win. “I know our guys have a tremendous amount of respect for him, and he’s a tough cookie,” Edsall said of Brown. “He gets criticized, but the guy’s a winner. The guy’s a winner, and he’s going to compete and do everything he can.” See KASINITZ, Page 7
