Koch, Snider Groups offer $6 million for business study center

MADISON, Wisc. — Ten seconds into the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Wisconsin, quarterback C.J. Brown and the Terrapins football offense took the field at Camp Randall Stadium trailing by 17 points.

The unit set up in shotgun formation on first down from its own 29-yard line. Brown took the snap and faked a handoff to running back Brandon Ross before lofting a pass down the left sideline for wide receiver Deon Long, who leapt and won the jump ball for a 22-yard reception.

That was the last first down the Terps offense would gain, d isrega rd i ng the one ea rned via a pass interference penalty on the ensuing drive, until 4:08 remained in the contest. By that point, the Badgers had scored 52 unanswered points.

The Terps avoided a shutout thanks to a 21-yard touchdown reception from wide receiver Stefon Diggs late in regulation, but the of fensive def iciency proved too detrimental to overcome, as they fell, 52-7, to end a

This is the second-largest gift in the business school’s history, following the $15 million naming gift from Robert H. Smith in 1998.

The new center will be named the Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Market.

The Snider Foundation donated $5 million and The Koch Foundation donated the remaining $1 million. Philadelphia Flyers owner and 1955 alumnus Ed Snider said he’s wanted to give back to the university for years, and building this center seemed like the perfect opportunity.

O’Malley performs with student band Governor holds voter rally on campus to strum up support for candidate Brown

By Jon Banister @J_Banister Senior staff writer

early voting that make it easier to vote, while other states have passed laws making voting more difficult.

Ben Kramer, president of this university’s College Democrats chapter, said he is confident students will turn out to vote in high numbers.

“We’ve got a close race in Maryland; a lot of issues that are important are going on right now,” Kramer said.

“Having the governor here is a little extra excitement boost for students to hopefully get them out to the polls.”

The governor, who took up a guitar while playing with the Tomato Dodgers, said he has been playing since he was 17 years old. He is in a band called O’Malley’s March, which schedules a few shows each year, despite the time constraints of his position as governor.

Tomato Dodgers are led by junior philosophy major Asher Meerovich and have been together in their current form for eight months. Meerovich describes their style as “strange folk music that is half folk and half rock.”

Meerovich said they found out three days before that they would be playing with O’Malley, and one of O’Malley’s staffers sent them a list of songs to learn the night before the event, which they spent hours practicing. O’Malley played guitar and sang “Scare Away the Dark” by Passenger. He spent the rest of his hour on the campus speaking with students.

“He’s a very down-to-earth guy, very polite, very friendly,” Meerovich said of O’Malley. “It felt sort of like playing with an old friend.”

Brown’s campaign will look to garner more student support when Hillary Clinton visits the university Thursday afternoon, the campaign announced yesterday. Students can RSVP online for the free event, which will be held at Ritchie Coliseum.

Doors open at 2:45 p.m.

This weekend, Gov. Martin O’Malley’s voice could be heard sounding from one end of McKeldin Mall.

“Feel like you still have a choice/ If we all light up, we can scare away the dark.”

Those were the lyrics of the Passenger song he sang with university student band Tomato Dodgers to encourage students to vote and support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown.

“The turnout is so important, and it’s so important for young people to vote,” O’Malley said. “Alienation is a choice. If we want, we can be angry and alienated from the choices we make together and the impact it has on us individually, but it’s not really in our best interest. Our better future is going to be found from greater connections with others. One of the key ways we exercise that level of high expression is the vote we cast and the people we choose to lead.”

A lso in attendance was Yvette Lewis, chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party, who echoed O’Malley about the importance of being politically engaged.

“I want to make sure that you guys understand that you cannot just be passive observers to your future; you’ve got to be stakeholders,” Lewis said.

“We’re just holding the place for you right now, but when we step aside, you want to have an interest in what’s going on.

You don’t want us to just hand you something that you know absolutely nothing about.”

The election takes place Nov. 4, but students can cast their votes early by going to the College Park Community Center on Pierce Avenue until Thursday. Students also can request and download an absentee ballot by Friday and mail it in. O’Malley said this state is lucky to have practices such as jbanisterdbk@gmail.com

S t u d e n t s l o o k i n g to graduate with honors this fall will have to make sure they maintain their GPAs during their final semester.

A Un ive rs it y S e n ate bill passed in April 2013 altered the calculation of commencement honors — or Latin honors, as they are now referred to — to include a student’s final semester GPA. The change will go into effect for the first time with this semester’s graduating class.

P r e v i o u s l y, u n i v e rsity officials made cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude desi g n at ion s b efore commencement, exclud i ng a student’s overall GPA, which is calculated after graduation. Those honors will now be granted after commencement, and cand id ates for t he honors w i l l be recog n i zed at graduation. “ We were concer ned t h a t p e o p l e m i g h t ge t t hese honors a nd t hen … take a holiday in their

f i n a l seme s ter a nd t hei r GPA could have fallen,” said Christopher Davis, former chairman of the Academic Procedures and Standards Committee. “If we are going to give an honor to people, it should be for what people have done for their entire career at the university.”

The committee suggested that the cutoff ranges for Latin honors in each college or school be published on the registrar office website so students could be aware of the minimum GPA they must achieve to qualify for an honor.

Doug Roberts, general education associate dean in the undergraduate studies office, said this change increases transparency for students who want to know how they measure up going into their final year.

“T he reg i st ra r’s of f ice should be able to say … what the GPA is that you would n e e d i n o rd e r to g ra d uate with Latin honors from your college,” he said. “In the past, I don’t think anyone had any idea what that cutoff would be.”

The GPA cutoffs will vary each year and will be calcu-

lated based on the average cumulative GPA of students graduating from each college du ri ng the prev ious academic year’s three graduating terms, according to the registrar office website.

Graduation ceremon ies won’t change much — Davis sa id t here w i l l b e a d i sclaimer in the commencement program stating which students are candidates for certain Latin honors, pending final grade calculations.

Benja m i n Ku rtz, who submitted the proposal to the senate and attended this university from 2009 to 2011, said he understood why final semester grades weren’t used to compute honors for graduation ceremonies. However, he did take issue with the calculations excluding final class rankings when it came to honors being printed and recognized on diplomas.

“You are purchasing that diploma, in all senses. You are paying for an education,” he said. “There’s an intrinsic value to being able to say ‘I graduated with honors.’”

In h is fi na l semester at this university, Kurtz said he was able to raise his GPA past the threshold for the

cu m laude honor a nd put himself in the top 10 percent of the behavioral and social sciences college.

However, b e c au se h i s GPA from his final semester d id not cou nt towa rd h i m receiv i ng the honor, his diploma does not say he graduated with honors, even though he graduated within the top 10 percent.

“All I could say on my application to law school was I graduated top 10 percent,” Kurtz said. “I could say cum laude because that does mean top 10 percent [at] Maryland, b u t m y d i p l o m a d o e s n’t reflect that.”

With the change, Kurtz plans on contacting the university and requesting that he receive a new d iploma that denotes he graduated with honors.

“I should be grandfathered in because I asserted my right before it became law,” he said. “Anyone who has objected since I put that bill in … should have the right to have their record set straight as far as having their diploma modified so they graduate with honors.” kmaakedbk@gmail.com

This partnership through t he center w i l l a l low researchers to look through historical and philosophical lenses to understand how and why processes function, Thornton Dill said.

“First and foremost, it’s about the creation of new knowledge. That is one of the basic reasons why universities exist,” Agarwal said.

“The mission of the center is an interdisciplinary experimentation. It’s all about the role of human enterprise, especially markets and institutions, as it relates to economic and social well-being.”

T his donation comes a f ter a recent $1 m i l l ion

grant from the U.S. Education Department to fund the business school’s Center for International Business Education and Research until 2018. The school received this award twice before, in 2006 and 2010.

The highly conservative Koch Foundation regularly donates money to universities for research and has been criticized for attempting to impose political ideologies on its gift recipients.

For example, at the Catholic University of America, 50 educators sig ned a letter protesting the university’s acceptance of a $1 million grant from the foundation.

However, Agarwal said the Koch Foundation’s political views will not influence the center at this university,

as neither donors will participate in choosing the center’s personnel, which will i nclude th ree professors, five doctoral students, four doctoral fellows, a managing director and two support staff members.

Academic freedom from both donors was part of the gift agreement, Agarawl said.

“We make the hiring ind e p e n d e n t l y. T h e s a m e t h i n g whe n d onors f u nd an academic program.

It is contrary to our bedrock principles of freedom of expression.”

appeals

Hemingway said. “It really affects student morale, knowing that an outside, neutral, thirdparty person is going to be reviewing your appeal.”

Despite the effort, the March 14 vote resulted in a 6-3 vote against reinstatement. Cole Holocker, a committee member and the SGA director of city affairs, said some felt the system had been abused, because the Office of Student Conduct didn’t always properly enforce the rule of providing new information.

“The concern with some faculty members was that students would just take another shot in the dark essentially to try to have another body look at their ticket, thus wasting staff time on appeals that had little merit,” Holocker said.

Hemingway said that after conducting new research, gathering student testimonials and speaking with the Office of

Student Conduct — which admitted it didn’t know whether all of its members had been properly trained for the process — the committee allowed for Wednesday’s vote.

Although victorious this time around, Hemingway is puzzled by committee members who voted against the process’s reinstatement on the premise that the number of successful second appeals isn’t great enough to justify the added administrative effort. “[Thirty-three percent] doesn’t seem like a small percentage to me, and also, how can you vote against justice? How can you say that just because there are a few victims of injustice that they don’t matter?”

Hemingway said. “Every student deserves to have justice. Justice is a core human value.”

However, Hemingway said that when the Office of Student Conduct told DOTS last year that it would be able to finagle a way to lower the cost to $2,000, the possibility of reinstatement gained momentum, and GSG passed a resolution on Feb. 21 asking for the university to reinstate the process.

Police seek balance in UMD Alerts output System looks to provide univ community with crucial info without overwhelming

By Jeremy Snow @JeremyM_Snow Senior staff writer It didn’t take much — just a text, in fact — for University Police to alert the campus of a possible armed man near Route 1 on Saturday night.

Students received word about an unidentified man with a gun near the campus at 9:03 p.m. through UMD A lerts, a system meant to keep students aware of possi ble sa fety t h reats. T he m e ssa ge wa s s i mple a nd a bbrev i ate d : “A dv i s o r y : pg/um resp to 7313 bal for man w/gun. sus blk m, 6’ gr sw/shrt, jeans 40’s.fled in unk dir.not believe to be in area.” With another text at 9:42 p.m., police declared the area all clear.

T h ro u g h t h i s s y s t e m , the university community can stay aware of what and where possible issues are. If the issue poses a threat, said University Police spokesman Maj. Marc Limansky, an alert will be sent out immediately.

Fe d e ra l l a w re q u i re s updates on major campus crime, Limansky said. The Jeanne Clery Act requires universities to inform students about incidents such as murder, some burglaries, sex offenses and others, in a timely manner.

“As technology advanced, law enforcement saw it as an opportunity to alert people as to pending threats,” University Police Chief David Mitchell said. “We developed a very robust alert system.”

University Police started to develop and test the system

a f t e r t h e V i r g i n i a Te c h shootings, Mitchell said. By sending messages directly to phones, the electron ic system could keep students away from danger efficiently.

Before email, police had to staple posters and paper around the campus to inform students about crime incidents. Now, students can subscribe to get the alerts delivered to their phones or email inboxes.

Satu rd ay’s i ncident on Route 1 i s a n ex a mple of something the police considers a threat students need to know immediately. Yesterday, police emailed students a safety notice with more details about the incident.

“We use the text messages to alert the campus to imminent danger. It needs to be a here-and-now sort of situation,” Limanksy said, “where the email system — the safety notices — are for situations that we want to warn and to provide resource information and make suggestions on how to better protect yourself.”

Not every student uses the system. Craig Weisenfeld, a sophomore journalism major, does not subscribe to receive tex t a lerts a nd sa id most of the messages he would receive do not affect him.

“If I did get [UMD Alerts], it would be unnecessary for me to get all of them,” he said. “If I was in any serious danger, I would hear about it from my friends or from social media.”

A University email alert is opened on a student’s phone. Police sent this safety alert at 9:03 p.m. Saturday about a possible armed suspect. teddy amenabar/for the diamondback danger, Limansky said. A text alert was not sent when a security guard accidentally shot a woman at the McDonald’s on Route 1 during an Oct. 19 altercation between the security guard and a customer.

Pol ice were a l ready on scene and the guard stayed at the McDonald’s; thus, there was no immediate threat and no need to alert students, Limansky said.

“We don’t want to appear as though we are crying wolf, that there is no real threat and it is just a disruption,” Mitchell said. “The service is not meant to be a disruption.”

April Monu said she thought some of the messages were too delayed to be impactful. She said she had already heard about the incident from a friend before she received the message about the McDonald’s shootings.

“Usually, they come after the fact or are an hour too late,” the freshman English major said. “They become irrelevant because I’ll hear about it from others.”

I n the past, students have told University Police t hey felt over whel med by alerts, Mitchell said.

T hey used to send students traffic alerts, severe weather updates and crime reports via the system. They found out that the large volume of alerts made students feel unsafe, so they decreased the amount they sent out.

“I don’t feel that we’ve sent out anything that we should have not sent out,” Mitchell said. “It’s a very conscious decision to send out an alert.” jsnowdbk@gmail.com

The new equipment will help provide better-performing and more reliable wireless service.

DIT is also adding more access points to improve capacity of this university’s wireless network, which is one of the largest in the country, Johnson wrote. In addition to 5,300 access points already available, DIT established 50 outdoor access points in the summer, Johnson wrote, and will continue adding more in the fall.

“Ma ny yea rs ago, most network traffic came from desktops or laptops connected via Ethernet,” Johnson wrote.

“Today, students, faculty, and staff choose to perform a greater share of computing tasks on mobile devices.

In addition, many students, faculty, and staff have multiple Internet-connected devices.

We are constantly working to improve UMD Wi-Fi [sic] to keep up with demand.”

With these changes, she wrote, students should experience more seamless WiFi connectivity across the campus.

In an effort to improve WiFi on the campus, the Division of Information Technology will make changes to this university’s wireless network that will require a few earlymorning Internet outages in the next month.

DIT has scheduled the outages of the university’s network to occur between 4 and 6 a.m. on the next several Tuesdays — Oct. 28, Nov. 4, and Nov. 11, according to an email from the DIT to the university community. University WiFi might be available during some of this time, but there could be numerous interruptions to connection during these off-peak hours.

The first two outages will affect all campus WiFi, but Nov. 11 outage will mainly affect wireless service in academic buildings, according to the DIT email.

P

olice confirm human remains are UVA student Hannah Graham

Police officers found human remains more than a week ago in Albemarle County, Virginia, and recently confirmed it to be missing UVA student Hannah Graham, according to CNN. Graham went missing Sept. 13. Authorities identified her remains Friday after locating them eight miles from where she was last seen. One person has been detained for involvement in Graham’s case: Jesse Matthew.

Officers took Matthew, 32, into custody in Texas, more than 1,300 miles from Charlottesville, Virgina. He is being charged with abduction with intent to defile.

Matthew also is linked through forensic evidence to the disappearance of Morgan Harrington, a Virginia Tech student. She was last seen hitchhiking outside of Charlottesville in October 2009. Harrington was found dead in January 2010 , though her cause of death is still under investigation, according to CNN. For more of Carly Kempler’s blog, go to dbknews.com

badgers From PAGE 1 five-game road winning streak spanning back to last season.

“It’s extremely disappointing,” center Sal Conaboy said.

“It was a team that we could have came in and beat, and they just out-executed us, out-played us. Collectively, we didn’t do our job.”

Aside from the touchdown drive on the unit’s final possession of the afternoon, the Terps offense was most effective in its opening series.

Brow n led the offense 40 yards on 10 plays, including two successful third down conversions. However, the d rive sta l led when Diggs couldn’t corral a pass from the sixth-year signal-caller on fourth-and-12 from the Badgers’ 35-yard line.

The Terps then had 13 more drives before scoring their

first points with 57 seconds remaining in the game.

Du ri ng that spa n, the offense went 1 of 13 on thirddown conversions. Ten possessions ended in punts, seven of which came on three-andouts. One concluded because of a f u mble on a botched handoff between Brown and Ross on a zone-read in the first quarter. And one fizzled after another turnover on downs.

“It was good to get a score at the end,” said Brown, who went 13 of 29 passing for 129 yards. “But at the same time, we can’t put our defense in that position.”

C o a c h R a n d y E d s a l l’s offense typically relies on establishing a stout ground attack to open up opportunities in the passing game.

But on Saturday, the unit rushed for 46 yards on 28 carries — a 1.6 yards per carry average. The Terps mustered three rushing yards on 12

carries before halftime, which they entered already trailing Wisconsin, 24-0.

“I thought we had a good game plan. I still think we had a good game plan,” Conaboy said. “We just didn’t execute.

We didn’t play together.”

T he lack of production from the Terps offense — it totaled 175 yards in the game, 102 of which came before the final scoring drive — forced the defense to spend a significant amount of time on the field, as the Badgers accumulated 35 minutes, 21 seconds of possession.

With ample opportunity, Wisconsin shredded the tired Terps unit for 527 yards using a mix of rushing plays and play-action passing.

E d s a l l ’s d e f e n s e h e l d running back Melvin Gordon, the nation’s second-leading rusher entering Saturday, to 122 yards. But the junior still scored three touchdowns.

“WHEN YOU MAKE THE MISTAKES THAT WE DID TODAY, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH EXPECT GOOD PLAYERS TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT.” ANDRE MONROE

A threat worth our attention

W

ith all the (mostly undeserved) hysteria surrounding the few Ebola virus cases in the United States, the recent outbreak of viral meningitis confirmed by University Health Center Director David McBride might have upped student fears of contracting a viral disease. But unlike qualms over Ebola, concerns regarding meningitis are legitimate.

The announcement also might have flown under the radar, considering all the university alerts students receive on a daily basis — including Saturday’s inscrutable University Police safety notice (“sus blk m, 6’ gr sw/shrt, jeans 40’s.fled in unk dir” ring any bells?).

In contrast to the sometimes head-scratching police alerts, however, the health center’s advisory email on the meningitis outbreak contained a good deal of crucial information and advice, and students would do well to heed it.

Though health center officials didn’t disclose the number of confirmed viral meningitis cases, they did acknowledge that the outbreak has extended beyond a small group of initially affected people.

They also noted that the Prince George’s County Health Department and this state’s health department are tracking the cases in conjunction with the health center’s efforts, a comforting reminder that the state

takes threats to students at its flagship university seriously.

Moreover, health center officials reassured students that viral meningitis is less severe than the bacterial version, which a Georgetown University sophomore died from earlier this semester.

OUR VIEW

We should treat meningitis announcements from the university seriously — our health depends on it.

Viral meningitis is rarely fatal, and most infected people with normal immune systems recover on their own in seven to 10 days.

That said, the risk factors on college campuses across the nation could hurt initiatives to limit the virus’ spread. Students can contract the virus through respiratory secretions such as spit or mucus, as well as through contaminated fecal matter.

For those students tasked with cleaning their shared spaces, it’s no secret our restrooms tend not to be particularly clean. And kegs, jungle juice and shared cups increase risk at a host of parties, where they frequently lead to another form of spit-swapping entirely.

Combating the spread of meningitis begins at home and likely entails a little elbow grease. Students should ensure they clean their bathrooms at least somewhat regularly. Vigorous, thorough hand washing is a must.

Those invested in limiting the virus’ spread should call off use of shared cups and stick to bottles or cans at parties. Passing around a handle of bottom-shelf vodka and drinking straight from the plastic, while seemingly life-affirming a few hours into a Friday night, probably isn’t the safest choice either.

Students experiencing symptoms, including severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, fever, sensitivity to light, neck stiffness and dehydration, should seek medical attention and advice from the health center or another care provider. Meningitis’ warning signs are similar to influenza, and while vaccinations can mitigate the latter, the meningitis vaccine required by this university won’t prevent students from contracting the virus.

As university alerts continue to pour into our inboxes, it’s tempting to ignore them. But stymieing the spread of meningitis requires adhering to the health center’s advice. So next time you see an email from McBride, give it a read — for your health and that of your fellow students.

What it means to be an American

A

round the time post-apocalyptic fiction was first making waves in popular c u l t u re w i t h b o o ks s u c h a s The Hunger Games, there was a morbid little joke circulating that preyed on people’s fascination with the subject. It went: “If you ever want to know what it is like to live in the rubble of a once-great civilization, just look down.” The joke referred, of course, to the many native cultures that were displaced or slaughtered as a result of American expansionism.

There are many reasons why the Washington Redskins should change their name, but if there is one reason that stands above all the rest, it is because we owe native people at least that much.

We took their land, we took their lives, and we continue to take their dignity with our refusal to change this offensive name. This seems to be pretty solid logic, but every time I use this point to argue my case, people respond by saying, “Well, I didn’t do any of that. How can you hold me accountable for a crime that was committed before I was even born?”

And it’s true; Manifest Destiny, The Indian Removal Act and the Battle of Wounded Knee were all atrocities carried out long before any of us were born. Why should we feel guilty or take responsibility for the actions of men and women long dead? My answer to that is because we call ourselves Americans. We are a nation that revels in our past glories. We brag about our two victories over Great

Britain, a nation that, by all logic, should have crushed us. We wax poetic about our heroic intervention during World War II, with which we helped save the world from fascism.

We are so eager to boast about our past accomplishments, but when it’s time to own up to our mistakes, we deny any accountability for the past.

People are quick to say they are proud to be Americans, but how can citizens be proud of their country when they’ve phased major chunks of its history out of their minds?

I am proud to be an American. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and what we strive to accomplish.

But because I’m proud of my country, I am also ashamed of it. I’m ashamed of slavery. I’m ashamed of Jim Crow.

I’m ashamed of the Trail of Tears.

I take responsibility for the sins of my forefathers because I also take responsibility for the triumphs of my forefathers.

What does it mean to be an American? Is it hanging an American flag outside your house? Is it firing off copious amounts of fireworks on the Fourth of July? Is it standing for a few moments of silent reverence during a ballgame while someone sings the national anthem? It is none of these things. Being American is all about accountability and responsibility.

Being an American is celebrating our past glories and working to rectify our past blunders. Being an American isn’t about denying the past to preserve our pride; it is about accepting the past and being proud in spite of it.

Getting less bang for your buck MARGARET ZELENSKI A professor once told me that education is the only exchange of services in which both the buyer and seller want to rip off the buyer. The seller sells you education that you hope you just have to pay for and not actually use. When you breathe a sigh of relief after reading the email saying class is canceled, you are satisfied the product you pay for hasn’t been delivered to you. I can’t think of any other service out there like that; if you pay for your phone bill, you’ll certainly want the best service delivered at all times. But why isn’t education this way?

A subreddit named “WritingPrompts” on Reddit.com inspired me to consider the following: If we were given unlimited funds at our high school graduation, would we bother going to college? This question essentially asks whether you see college as a means to an end (a job that pays) or a priceless experience that has use beyond getting a job. Additionally, this question asks whether you would even bother

getting a job if you had unlimited funds. And even more philosophically, this question asks whether you derive fulfillment from contributing to the world or from the advancing your own needs.

Let’s say that if you had unlimited funds, you wouldn’t bother going to college. You would use that money to buy whatever your heart desired: plane tickets to fantastic destinations, planes or the fantastic destinations themselves.

How long would it be until you became bored with entertaining yourself? We’ve all had those moments in which we are sitting in our rooms, complaining that we have nothing to do even though we know very well that entertainment is all around us. We are a 30-minute Metro ride from the capital of the United States, and we still groan about how there’s nothing new on our Instagram feeds. Maybe having it all isn’t enough.

Maybe going to college, exploring the magnitude of opportunities in the world and exploring ourselves is more fulfilling than shopping until you have every shoe known to man. Certainly, we’d all like a little (a lot) more expendable cash in our

wallets for that trip we’ve always wanted to take or that car we’ve always wanted to own. But I think we have to look at college a bit differently. It’s not just the middleman keeping you from getting a job that allows you to make those trips and buy those cars. It’s a place where you learn about yourself and the world and how you can fit into the world in a way that is beneficial for both. You can discover a field that will interest you much longer than a mansion can.

If we’re here and we plan on being here, we might as well treat college like a service that we paid good money for. Go to class even though you think it’s boring, go to office hours if you don’t understand something, and fight for what you paid for. On the surface, college might seem like devastatingly inconvenient work that you have to do to make money in the future. But looking closer, it has the capacity to provide entertainment for as long as you live.

dining hall food dumps and latenight drunken puking override any good scents.

Any time a student goes to the bathroom, the smell bakes in the warm bathroom, then trickles its way into the hallway. It will not smell normal until everyone has flung open his or her door to create an airflow that will dissolve the potent poop scent.

Residential Facilities sent an email to residents warning that the heat would come on early because it gets as cold as 40 degrees at night now. But who doesn’t love to snuggle under all their blankets when they sleep?

Now that my heat is on, I have my window open and fan on full blast at night just so I can sleep at room temperature. When I study in my room during the day, I wear shorts.

I already have to suffer with no air conditioning in August and May, and now I have to continue to sweat when I’m supposed to be wearing a scarf and hat.

Perhaps I am crying over spilled milk — the dorms will be improved over time.

However, it would be nice if the heating panels had knobs on them.

All I want is a little bit of control.

To be able to turn down the heat during the day and crank it up at night would be ideal.

My advice for Residential Facilities is that until the dorms are remodeled, do not turn on the heat until mid-November. There are too many bodies crammed into too small of a space. We do not need any students overheating while sobbing over their midterm exams.

The leaves on the campus are finally starting to fade into that crisp rustic orange, and you know what that means: time to bundle up in sweaters and stock up on hot chocolate. But students living in dorms are about to realize that it’s quite the opposite. Now that the heat is on, it’s time to strip down.

Facilities Management and Residential Facilities turned the dorms’ heating units on last week. Each bedroom has one large heating vent that is about 3 feet long.

While these vents surely know how to toast up chilly students on a snowy December day, they’re making students boil on 70degree days in October.

Last week, there were several days with highs in the upper 60s or lower 70s. With outside temperatures that high and inside temperatures even hotter, dorms begin to overheat.

Other than creating an uncomfortable place to study and sleep, the heat makes the dorms smell awful.

So m e f l o o rs , s u c h a s m y own, have no hallway ventilation. At one end of the hallway is the housekeeper’s closet and at the other end is the resident director’s apartment. There is no window in the hallway to circulate airflow, which ultimately turns the hallway into a stinky hotbox.

orn today, you are a rather secretive individual. At times, this is sure to make things harder for you than they have to be, as you will resist the need to share your troubles, trials and tribulations with those who could possibly help you through them. You tend to harbor all manner of feelings deep within, whether good or bad, and let them out only through bursts of creative activity. Indeed, though your feelings can be quite painful, they can result in a great deal of worthwhile productivity.

Whether that productivity results in recognition and profit, however, is entirely up to you: If you pursue opportunities in a disciplined manner, you can surely succeed; if you don’t, success will be elusive.

Despite the fact that you keep your feelings very much to yourself, you share your opinions rather freely with the rest of the world -- and you’re seldom without an opinion about any given topic! You can be rather quick to take sides when a controversial issue is being debated. Indeed, it is the controversy itself that excites you more often than not.

Also born on this date are: Sylvia Plath, writer and poet; Nanette Fabray, singer; Roy Lichtenstein, artist; Ruby Dee, actress and writer; Simon Le Bon, singer; John Cleese, actor and comedian; Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. president; Dylan Thomas, poet.

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You and a friend may be onto something, but he or she doesn’t know just how quickly you’ll be able to progress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your ideas can really come to something -- though you mustn’t try to do too much at once, or you’ll be shortchanging yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be jealous of another’s accomplishments, but he or she isn’t really doing anything that you don’t know how to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll want your questions answered in a timely manner, but you must make sure that you’re asking them in a clear manner yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -It’s time to give yourself over to the flow of events; trying to stop things from occurring can only work against you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may receive a message that seems unclear or garbled, but that’s all you’re going to have to work with, so give it your best shot.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28 SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The gravitational pull may be considerable. Those who are able to resist don’t understand, as you do, how everything is conjoined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You’ll want to take the first few steps toward a new goal. Don’t wait until everything is clear -where’s the fun in that?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be feeling a little left out, but the truth is that you’re the only one who is holding you back in any real way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can prove that you belong merely by doing what comes naturally. Don’t assume that everyone knows what you know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be asked to repeat yourself, not because the first time wasn’t good enough, but because it was so good others want it again!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You may want to plan your entire day around one single event. Be sure that you’re not putting too much emphasis where it doesn’t belong.

FEATURE | THE BOARD AND BREW GAME MARATHON

it’s all fun and games The Board and Brew’s game marathon, which ran for 24 hours on Saturday, raised money for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals

By Zoë DiGiorgio @zozoembie Staff writer It was almost midnight on Friday night. While some were sound asleep after a long week, others were ready to go out for the night.

Music from Looney’s Pub on Route 1 was blaring and spilling into the streets, along with quite a few of the bar’s patrons. But Looney’s wasn’t the only nightlife hot spot in the shops under the Varsity.

Only a few stores down, tucked away between the eyeglass repair shop and Royal Farms, the lights were still on in The Board and Brew. And things were just getting started.

The board game cafe opened its doors Saturday for a 24-hour board game marathon in partnership with Extra Life, a foundation that raises money for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals through full-day gaming marathons. Often, sponsors give gamers a certain amount per hour.

This tournament wasn’t played to a definitive win, but played as a marathon to raise money.

“People we have been talking to in the gaming community approached us and thought it was a good fit,” said Brian McClimens, co-owner of The Board and Brew.

McClimens said the cafe had been looking to try out a 24-hour gaming

event, and he thought the Extra Life marathon would be a good test run.

At the start of the tournament at midnight, a few groups clustered around the tables. Half the cafe was lit and the other half was dark, save the light from a projector screening the film Of Dice and Men. At the end of the tournament on Saturday night, the cafe was packed. In the back corner of the restaurant, games were spread out across five or six tables.

While The Board and Brew provided the space for the marathon, the event was coordinated in partnership with the creators and personalities behind “The Party Gamecast featuring the Party Game Cast,” a Baltimore-based podcast that explores board games of all kinds, especially party games.

Though Extra Life started with video game marathons, the event has expanded to the board gaming community in recent years. Rather than having participants stay at home to play games, The Party Gamecast wanted to engage the community.

“We wanted to do something a little bolder that would bring more people in,” said Bruce Voge, the podcast’s moderator.

At The Board and Brew, the money was raised not only through hourly sponsorships of individual gamers, but also through the entry fees to several board game tournaments

offered throughout the day. The cafe donated half of the money raised through game fees in the 24-hour period to the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.

“Not only is it incredible helping children in need, but there aren’t a lot of big institutions in Baltimore, so not only does it help them, it does kind of help the Baltimore area because Hopkins is such a big institution,” Voge said.

The gamers were encouraged to join the Party Gamecast team to help pool their donations, though others chose to donate to their local Children’s Miracle Network hospitals.

Liana Hyman, a senior family science major, and Anne-Floor Jansen van Galen, a junior psychology exchange student, are regular patrons of The Board and Brew. They said they enjoy the food and the environment at the cafe and often stay until closing, playing games such as Ticket to Ride and Loopin’ Louie.

The two were excited to hear about a 24-hour event.

“I was like, ‘Yes, sign me up!’”

Hyman said.

“We like that we’re playing games and having fun, so why not?” Jansen van Galen said.

Hyman, who arrived at 8 p.m. to begin her marathon, enjoyed being able to give back to Johns Hopkins, having had surgery at the hospital as

Despite the many bleary eyes in the cafe around midnight Saturday, the Party Gamecast team successfully raised more than $2,500 for the Children’s Miracle Network at Johns Hopkins. But many customers were not aware of the event until they arrived.

“It’s difficult for us to know how many are specifically here for the event,” McClimens said, though he noted that some customers stayed in The Board and Brew past midnight playing games on Friday so their game fees would go to the cause.

Voge also said many people heard about the cause when they wandered in and decided to donate at that time.

Voge is looking to expand the event next year so that more people are

aware of the event.

“We’re hoping by next year people are showing up just because it’s Extra Life,” he said. “We’re hoping this thing grows legs.”

Though attendance fluctuated greatly throughout the marathon, Voge said the event was a success.

Jansen van Galen said she enjoyed the chance to give back and do what she loved.

“I do a lot of service at home. I don’t have any time to do it here, so it feels good,” she said.

For Voge, that is the most important part of Extra Life.

“Really, the main goal of Extra Life is to take our hobby and share it with people and raise money for charity,” he said. zdigiorgiodbk@gmail.com

Kasinitz From PAGE 8 Quarterback C.J. Brown threw an incomplete pass to Stefon Diggs, the Terps gave up possession, and the Badgers used the good field position to score a touchdown in a string of events that set the tone for the entire game.

Whether it was his gameday decisions or a shoddy few days of preparation, Edsall did not perform his job well this week. Edsall’s a better coach than that, and he’ll have to be better over the regular season’s final month if he expects to enter the offseason with the support of his team and fan base.

Edsall and the Terps have done some good things this season, and it would have been foolish to assume they’d waltz into Madison, Wisconsin, and roll through one of the Big Ten’s most prominent programs. But the Terps can’t have another performance like Saturday’s, in which they were outclassed in every aspect of the game and appeared to lack the effort and enthusiasm they needed to compete.

It’d be one thing if Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon, the nation’s second-leading rusher entering the weekend, proved to be just too

Linebacker Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil tries to pull down Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon in Saturday’s loss to the Badgers. photo courtesy of greg fume/maryland athletics good for the Terps to slow down. It’s another that the Terps blew numerous coverages downfield and had several sloppy breakdowns late in the game that allowed the Badgers to post 52 points.

There’d be no cause for concern had Wisconsin kept the Terps out

of the end zone and clamped down to hold the team below its scoring average of about 35 points per game.

The Terps, though, had such a hard time moving the ball that I’m guessing offensive coordinator Mike Locksley gave up sometime in the third quarter and started playing solitaire

in his coaching booth.

Brown completed just 45 percent of his passes and missed open receiver after open receiver. The offense compiled a season-low 175 yards and went 3-for-15 on third down. In a span stretching from halfway through the second quarter to midway

through the fourth, the Terps went eight straight possessions without picking up a first down.

Yikes.

And it wasn’t just that Wisconsin outmuscled or bullied the Terps.

Edsall’s squad also made its share of mistakes and did itself in.

Though Edsall said he wasn’t concerned with the crowd noise in Wisconsin because the Terps practiced with loud music blaring all week, the team still committed five false start penalties. And the Terps’ only turnover didn’t come as a result of a Badgers defender’s outstanding play.

No, the Terps’ costly fumble came simply because Brown and running back Brandon Ross botched a handoff.

Four years into Edsall’s tenure, the Terps have enough depth and experience that games like Saturday should be unacceptable. The Terps, of course, have four contests to cover the blemish that the shellacking by the Badgers has left on their 2014 campaign.

They just have to avoid playing as sloppily and apathetically as they did in Madison if they hope to generate positive vibes among this university’s community. It’s Edsall’s job to make sure they do that. akasinitzdbk@gmail.com

knights From PAGE 8 said that at times it seemed the team was engaged in an “internal battle” rather than an external battle with Rutgers.

“It’s kind of like we fought ourselves, but we battled through it,” Hrebenach said.

“It was good to look at from a record perspective. But there’s still a lot to learn and a lot to work on.”

In the end, the Terps again earned the win by taking the fifth set, 15-9. At the end of the match, though, Hrebenach said the atmosphere around the team felt like that of a loss.

wrestling From PAGE 8 Though Gardner will play a part in making up for the loss of one of the program’s icons, he isn’t going to let that impact his approach.

“My expectations are to go out there and win every match,” Gardner said. “You don’t put your shoes on to not win.”

McCoy understands it will be difficult for Gardner to make up completely for the loss of Sheptock, but the veteran coach expects the rest of his team to perform better this season. The Terrapins welcome 14 freshmen, who join seven redshirt freshmen on the roster.

One freshman who has stood out to McCoy is 141pound Alfred Bannister, who holds the record for the most wins of any high school wrestler in state history. Bannister defeated redshirt senior Frank Goodwin in his match Saturday, 3-2.

“When the lights come on, [Bannister] steps up,” McCoy said. “He doesn’t take a back seat to anybody.”

Geoffrey Alexander, a junior who is coming off a redshirt season, won his match in the 133-weight class yesterday and is another key piece in the Terps’ attempt to replace Sheptock. Alexander qualified for the NCAA cham-

“I don’t like the feeling of being outcompeted by people,” Aird said. “It’s not about wins and losses.”

And despite winning a second straight match — the first time they’ve had consecutive wins since Sept. 6 — the Terps remain unsatisfied, saying they didn’t play up to their capabilities.

“Every match is an opportunity for us to improve as a program,” Fraik said. “For us this season, we’re going to keep getting better — we have gotten a lot better — and make sure that we’re always moving forward.” jmwalkerdbk@gmail.com

shot and a kick save off a rebound, but defender Carrie Hanks slotted a shot past her on the third effort.

“We did a really good job of shooting with layers,” Meharg said. “If there was a shot that missed or there was a followup shot or rebound opportunity, Maryland had another layer of attack.”

Backup goalkeeper Katie Johnson came in to temporarily relieve Olson after she was banged up during the corner, and the Terps capitalized on the substitution moments later. On the Terps’ first possession inside the Hoosiers’ circle with Johnson in net, Dessoye cracked a backhanded effort into the bottom right corner from 14 yards out.

Olson returned after the goal, but she couldn’t slow the momentum. The Terps added goals from defender Sarah Sprink and forward Welma Luus minutes later to cap a four-goal scoring run in a five-minute span.

With more than 16 minutes remaining in the first half, Indiana already had allowed

defender sarah sprink helped the Terps total eight goals Friday in a blowout win over Indiana. more goals than they had in one game all season.

“Everybody was on fire from the beginning,” Sprink said.

The Hoosiers cut the lead to 5-1 on their only shot of the first half, but the Terps continued the onslaught after the break. Forwards Emma Rissinger and Shari Jones added goals off the bench.

Midfielder Maxine Fluharty, who leads the Terps

with 13 goals, finished the scoring to mark the third time in the past four games the Terps have scored at least eight goals in a game. And Fluharty’s goal, which came with about 13 minutes left in the game, marked the end of Olson’s day in net.

Olson exited the field having surrendered seven goals, which marked a drastic difference from the early-season script for the Terps offense.

Instead of making an average goalkeeper look great, the Terps offense scored the most goals this season against the netminder with the country’s sixth-best save percentage.

S hyh e i m B row n , wh o was also an expected starter coming into scrimmages, did not compete on Saturday because of nagging injuries.

Brown will be competing with Bannister and Frank Goodwin for the starting spot at 141 pounds, and McCoy said his injury isn’t serious.

“If this were a varsity competition, and if [Brown] was the guy, he would have b e e n a b l e to co m p e te ,” McCoy said. “For a thirdyear guy, he is getting a little old and needs to take care of his body.”

Terps football defensive end and 285-pound wrestler Spencer Myers wasn’t at the meet yesterday and isn’t expected to return to the wrestling team until early

to mid-January because of obligations with the football team. Myers is nationally ranked this season and is expected to take the starting job when he returns.

However, McCoy said Myers will have to earn his spot back when he returns.

The Terps, who finished 9-8 last season, enter their first season in the typically dominant Big Ten without Sheptock, who has been a mainstay for several years.

McCoy believes some of his inexperienced wrestlers will need to step up to find success in the new league, and he got his first clue as to who will do that in yesterday’s intersquad bout.

“We have a lot of young guys who have the energy and excitement to step up and have an impact,” McCoy said.

“Some guys responded better than others, but ultimately it’s all practice to get better for later. The biggest thing our guys have to understand is the mindset and lifestyle of being in the Big Ten.” kmelnickdbk@gmail.com

Forward George Campbell dribbles up the field in the Terps’ commanding victory over Santa Clara.

campbell From PAGE 8 “I didn’t hit the defender this time,” Campbell said.

“He was tracking back, and he took a step to his left, and I just saw an opening and hit it. [I] went near post instead of far post like I’ve usually been doing.”

That wasn’t the last time Campbell had a significant scoring chance, though.

A b o u t 2 0 m i n u te s l a te r, midfielder Tsubasa Endoh q u i c k ly se n t a l o n g ba l l across the field to Campbell, who was streaking toward goal. The defender headed the ball away, but Campbell stole the ball from another defender and began dribbling back up field.

he moved past the falling defender. He then dribbled more to his right, trying to elude another defender, who pushed him to the ground. The infraction earned the Terps a free kick, which midfielder Mael Corboz buried to give the Terps a 3-0 advantage. “[Campbell] did a great job to keep the play alive with his pressure,” coach Sasho Cirovski said. “He won the ball, then he made a strong penetrating run [that] caused a foul and it leads to a goal. That’s the kind of aggressiveness that we maybe didn’t have as much in the first half.”

After Campbell and his fellow forwards failed to provide consistent scoring early in the year, Cirovski has used midfielders Alex Shinsky, Mikias Eticha and Michael Sauers up top recently. Campbell hopes to

continue his production and add another scoring threat to Cirovski’s repertoire. “[Campbell’s] had a couple injuries,” said Raley, who added a goal in the 72 minute.

“It’s good to see him on the score sheet.”

Campbell had little trouble scoring in high school, so he was happy to bask in the thrill of his first college goal and take a few pictures with fans.

“It’s pretty much one of the reasons why I decided to come here,” Campbell said.

“We have the Crew obviously, then all of these kids coming to the games, loving it, supporting us, yelling, screaming ‘Let’s go Maryland’ during the game. So it’s cool. It’s definitely a great feeling knowing that we get so much support from everybody.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

Terps top Rutgers in rematch

Terps roll to 8-2 win over No. 19 Indiana

In second straight match, Aird’s team earns 3-2 triumph

By Ryan Baillargeon @Ryan Baillargeon Staff writer Maggie Olson trotted onto the field for what was likely her second-to-last home game as Indiana’s field hockey goalkeeper Friday. The redshirt senior, who recorded the most saves in the Big Ten a season ago, entered a game against the Terrapins field hockey team with the second-best save percentage in the conference at .790.

Olson was faced with the task of trying to slow down a Terps offense that was averaging 5.67 goals per game in October. Still, Olson led an Indiana defense that had allowed four goals in a game just once all season and averaged 1.5 goals against on the year.

But Olson, even with her pedigree and past success, failed to slow the Terps. Facing one of the top netminders in the nation, seven Terps scored goals in an 8-2 rout over No. 19 Indiana in the team’s first-ever trip to Bloomington, Indiana.

“We have always seemed to be a program that has been able to score a lot of goals,” coach Missy Meharg said.

But that wasn’t the case earlier this season. Through the Terps’ first seven games, four goalkeepers posted career highs in saves. At the time, Meharg said the team was getting tired of making the opposing goalies look like Olympians.

On Friday, though, the Terps beat Olson time and time again. The Terps (14-2, 6-1 Big Ten) earned a penalty stroke less than four minutes into the game, and midfielder Anna Dessoye easily slotted it past Olson.

The Hoosiers (9-6, 1-6) held the Terps scoreless for the next 10 minutes, but the pressure was on Olson again when the Terps earned their second penalty corner of the day. The Springfield, Pennsylvania, native made a diving stop on the initial See hoosiers, Page 7

The Terps didn’t seem prepared to play the Badgers, and after a slow start, the team crumpled and failed to fight back.

That comes back to the head coach.

Edsall played his part in the unsightly outing with an odd coaching decision on the first drive of the game that backfired and put his team in an early hole.

With the Terps facing a fourth-and-12 at the Wisconsin 35-yard line, Edsall chose to go for it rather than punt. A field goal try was likely not a viable option considering the strong wind in the Terps’ face.

After the Terrapins volleyball team defeated Rutgers in five sets Tuesday at Xfinity Center to avoid the Big Ten basement and capture its first conference win of the season, the players were disappointed with their performance.

But the Terps had a rematch with the Scarlet Knights on Saturday, providing a chance for the Terps to earn a more convincing win.

The Terps, though, left with the same results: a 3-2 victory and the sense that there was room for significant improvement.

“The Big Ten is full of very talented volleyball programs who all work extremely hard,” outside hitter Emily Fraik said. “It was great that we won, and we’re happy that we won. But there are still things that we need to work on to get better so we can play cleaner and cleaner every day.”

The Terps immediately conceded their aspirations to win in three sets when they dropped the first frame to Rutgers, 27-25.

In the second set, the Terps battled back to even the match at 1-1 before entering the break. They came out strong in the third set as well and mounted a 2-1 lead.

“Our execution was just OK; I thought their fight was just OK,” coach Steve Aird said. “I was impressed with Rutgers, I thought they fought their asses off again for the entire match. I thought [Rutgers] outcompeted us for the evening, but we were fortunate enough to win.”

But the team allowed the Scarlet Knights back into the match in the fourth, beating the Terps, 25-21, to force another fifth set.

AARON KASINITZ Randy Edsall’s lucky the Terrapins football team has four more games left in the regular season, because if the year ended after Saturday’s 52-7 loss at Wisconsin, plenty of fans would have an issue with the coach returning for a fifth season.

While Edsall was far from the only member of the Terps to have an awful day at Camp Randall Stadium, he deserves to shoulder most of the blame.

Annual wrestle-offs help establish lineup McCoy uses scrimmage to test young team

By Kyle Melnick @kyle_melnick Staff writer The red team won eight of 10 intersquad matchups and dominated the black team in a 25-9 victory in the Terrapins wrestling team’s annual Red & Black Wrestle-Offs yesterday, but coach Kerry McCoy said he wasn’t too concerned with the results.

Rather, McCoy said the scrimmage helped him decide how to fill out his lineups. Plus, the match gave the Terps a chance to compete in front of fans and begin to experience life without graduated All-American Jimmy Sheptock before the season

begins Saturday with the NWCA AllStar Match in Philadelphia.

“The biggest thing was to see how [the wrestlers] would do with the crowd and referees,” McCoy said.

“It is another piece of information to make decisions, and we have to weigh all the factors in.”

Tony Gardner, a redshirt senior, has earned the right to replace Sheptock after beating junior transfer Chanse Menendez, 8-7, yesterday. Sheptock led the Terps with 26 wins last season and became the first wrestler in school history to hold a national No. 1 ranking.

As Terrapins men’s soccer defender Jereme Raley spoke with reporters after the Terps’ 3-1 win over Santa Clara on Saturday, George Campbell was engaged in an impromptu photo shoot.

A group of children approached Campbell, begging to snap some pictures with the forward who had just scored the first goal of his career.

And on Saturday, he relished the time in the spotlight after his 58th-minute strike broke a scoreless draw and helped propel the Terps to a fifthstraight victory. “[The goal] was definitely relieving. Definitely a good feeling.”

Campbell said. “Definitely takes a little stress off it. I had been harping on getting [a goal] for so long. I finally did. Hopefully I can ease up a little bit and not feel so tense when I’m playing.”

In mid-September, Campbell, a freshman, was frustrated that he hadn’t scored his first college goal.

While battling an ankle injury, he said the drought had affected him mentally.

Plus, it helped spark the Terps offense, which had been dormant in the first half against Santa Clara.

“The first half, things weren’t going our way. Second half, we got in there, and luckily I got one,” Campbell said. “The team kind of relaxed.

We settled down and it just made the game easier for us.”

Campbell’s goal came from a spot on the field he’d tried to score from numerous times this year. After goal-

keeper Zack Steffen sent a long cross downfield, defender Mikey Ambrose gathered the ball around midfield and dribbled into the scoring third before chipping the ball to Campbell about 30 yards from goal.

Campbell collected the ball with his back to the net and turned around and dribbled. He lifted his right leg and blasted the ball just inside the left post past diving Santa Clara goalkeeper Carl Carrwik.
