Thousands of protesters gathered on the National Mall on Oct. 26 to voice their disapproval of the National Security Agency’s domestic and international surveillance.

They carried signs like those above, scrawled with privacy puns and praise for whistleblowers Thomas Drake, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. They jammed out to a performance of “Party at the NSA,” an

The rally attracted attention from news outlets as far away as Iran.

But despite the rally’s fanfare, another struggle is much quieter.

It takes place not in public forums such as the National Mall but in somewhere less visible: research laboratories, some of which are located at this university.

From PRISM and Upstream to programs not yet known to the public, the government has relied on research partnerships with the country’s scientists and public universities for years. But critics and supporters alike said reconciling traditionally open lab environments and

There was fallout. There was controversy. And there was a spotlight cast on this university, following Snowden’s admission that he had cut his chops with the NSA by working for a brief time at the Center for Advanced Study of Language.

Federal cuts to work-study program impact students

By Ellie Silverman @esilverman11 Staff writer Five weeks into the semester, senior journalism major Marlena Chertock found out she would no longer receive Federal Work-Study Program funds.

“I got an email that said, ‘Oh, you’re being dropped from work study,’ just out of the blue, no warning,” Chertock said. “[Last week] is the first week I stopped working.”

Recent federal government cuts have reduced th is u n iversity’s work-study allocation to slightly less than $800,000 this year, down from $1.2 million four years ago, said Sarah Bauder, fi nancial aid director.

Because the university uses all of its allotted federal work-study funds, she said, any reduction in the amount of money available has a significant impact on students.

“When we realized we were receiving fewer federal funds, the University increased its matching share which helped bridge some of the fi nancial gap,” Bauder wrote in an email. “Even with that boost, the demand for work still exceeds the funding available.”

Many students depend on federal work-study jobs to ease the financial burden of tuition and other living expenses: 1,102 students accepted federal work-study jobs this year, compared to 805 students in 2012, Bauder wrote. Limited funding in the future could hinder students’ ability to become eligible

“We don’t have an unlimited amount of money. Once the funds are depleted, they are depleted,” Bauder said. “We reallocated funds so we didn’t have to make any changes for the students.”

Chertock, who is graduating in December, was able to appeal the decision to cut her work-study, and she settled for half of the funds she previously received. But she said she already feels the fi nancial weight of fees that her federal work-study employment would have helped pay.

“There are a lot of payments coming up because I’m graduating — cap and gown, all of those other fees … gas is a big one,” Chertock said. “It will just have to fall more on me than workstudy payments.”

Other university students face similar reductions. When Austin Tumas, a junior anthropology and journalism major, checked her financial aid package this summer, she See WORK-STUDY, Page 3

Student group offers custom 3-D printing, design

By Jeremy Snow @thedbk For The Diamondback A week into the school year, Brett Potter assembled his own 3-D printer from a $300 kit he bought online. Now, he and his friends are offering students an alternative to the technology offered in McKeldin Library.

After Potter, a sophomore aerospace engineering major, purchased the printer and printed some items, across-the-hall neighbor Sam Thomas took notice and suggested they sell the printed products and charge for usage of the printer. The two, along with Potter’s roommate, Ben Tunick, soon developed the idea for MindForge Design, a company and website that sells products made from the printer and lets students submit their own designs.

“In high school we had some 3-D printers and they were really cool,” Potter said. “It’s an up-and-coming technology.”

The printer resides in Potter’s dorm room in Oakland Hall, but it’s portable and can print anywhere as long as it is hooked up to a laptop.

So far, the team has only sold its own designs — a bookmark and a couple of terrapin-shaped pendants — but the goal is to produce students’ creations.

“We’re trying to get more into getting students’ designs and printing for them, like McKeldin’s doing,” Potter said.

McKeldin’s 3-D printer sits behind the Terrapin Learning Commons on the second floor, surrounded by

The CASL isn’t new, and neither are the university’s connections with the NSA. The center was established in 2003 to serve the language needs of the Department of Defense, said CASL associate research director Mariah Bauer.

“T he study of lang uage prov ides one of t he b est mirrors into the functioning of the human mind/brain,” Bauer w rote i n a n ema i l.

“Increased proficiency is important to support global competitiveness as well as national security in addition to serving our fellow citizens, for whom English is not a first language.”

T his un iversity is an obvious choice for government research collaboration, sa id un iversity President Wallace Loh. It’s large, it’s close by and it can provide a strong public support system for researchers.

Universities in general are prime locations for government projects, said Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy.

“G over n ment agencies can benefit from the latest cutting-edge academic research and from access to the talent pool of university researchers,” Aftergood wrote in an email. “By strategically funding particular areas of research, agencies can also focus or redirect the academic research agenda towards topics of interest to them.”

The bounds of the CASL’s research labs reach far in the field of language and cognition: T he center develops new language-learning programs for government officials and elementary school kids, studies how people learn languages most efficiently, and researches less common language dialects.

Following the Snowden leak, the CASL popped up on the radar of local media and critics of the government.

I n a s tor y c h ron i c l i n g S n o w d e n’s b a c k g ro u n d , The Guardian alluded to a “covert” university facility, later revealed to be the CASL.

To print a 3-D object in the library, students must fill out a form, include an STL file with their design and choose a color from nine options, said Sandra Ayensu, a tech desk technician assistant and a senior government and politics major.

“Recently, the 3-D printer has been really popular,” Ayensu said. “We get about five to 10 requests daily.”

Designs printed in McKeldin usually take anywhere from one to 10 hours to complete, library IT manager Uche Enwesi said in September. Because of its size, McKeldin’s printer can print larger objects than MindForge Design’s

But the CASL is ha rd ly covert, and its leadership doesn’t hide the organization’s connections with the NSA. And it’s not just the NSA working there; clients requesting solutions can be from any organization within the intelligence community.

The NSA isn’t the cause of the facility’s high level of security, either, Bauer said. It’s just the nature of serving the intelligence community.

“The majority of our work is not classified, but we are in a position to collaborate with stakeholders throughout the DoD,” she wrote in an email.

Still, the NSA is one of their major clients, Bauer said, a fact the NSA has spoken proudly of in its literature.

current printer.

Library technician Matthew Smith said library staffers’ busy schedules don’t leave much time for sitting with students to discuss design ideas. Smith said most students’ designs are copies from thingiverse.com, a website dedicated to 3-D printed objects.

However, MindForge Design allows students to flesh out design ideas and gain feedback from the team before printing. Students can also send the team ideas through the company’s website.

For students like Yael Lehmann, a sophomore enrolled in letters and sciences, who are not familiar with 3-D design software, having a team helps the process.

his department, he said, the rules were clear: Focus on international communications.

They didn’t dare look at nonmilitary target interceptions.

But it became difficult to comprehend information when the lines blurred, he said.

“There are times when confidentiality is going to be important. And that needs to be understood, and there needs to be boundaries about what that implies and entails,” he said. “Every time an official tries to redirect the narrative, a new revelation happens and what they say turns out to be found out to be false.”

When it comes to research, Aftergood said the government doesn’t always have a right to secrecy. Aftergood is an outspoken critic of classified research and admits that with public institutions, the boundaries are muddled.

Congress has an absolute right to know what research is happening, he said, and the public should have access to research that isn’t applied specifically to military or intelligence technology. Those technologies, he said, are more acceptable for classification.

But throw a public university into the mix, he said, and that’s when things get especially unclear.

“Universities, almost by definition, are supposed to be ‘open’ institutions. So they are not a natural setting for classified research,” Aftergood wrote.

“While government agencies are accountable to Congress, universities are accountable to their larger communities.”

At the CASL, 29 of the more than 133 employees are also university employees from various departments across the campus.

“They have to compartmentalize their work. The work they’re doing on campus is open, and the work they do at CASL is classified,” Loh said. “You live this schizophrenic existence.”

L o h o n l y re c e n t l y a cquired security clearance for the buildings. Although the buildings are universityaffiliated, his status as president previously meant little; just as anyone else, he had no authority to go beyond the building lobby.

Fo r s c i e n t i s t s a n d researchers, working within the bounds of the intelligence community poses philosophical challenges.

Which is more important: the public’s right to know or security? Are the quest for innovation and the need to protect secrets compatible?

Junior cell biology and genetics major Todd Waters still struggles with the issue.

Waters entered the military in 2003 and was stationed in Hawaii between 2005-08, then at Fort Meade until 2011.

He worked for the NSA as a cryptologic linguist, charged with deciphering and translating communications.

Even from the inside, he said, the relationship between collaboration and secrecy was confusing.

“It was very collaborative with each other [in my section],” Waters said. “But we were separated from other departments, like analysis.”

Like pieces of a puzzle, a vast collection of departments and subdepartments make up the NSA and the broader intelligence community.

“You can be working in one sector and not see what’s hapSAFEHOUSE pening in another,” Waters said.

From one leaker to the next, Among scientists and intelWaters said each piece of in- ligence leaders, the question formation revealed by Drake, is not whether information Manning and Snowden was should be classified. new and surprising to him. In “We also recognize that

attention from students, is a pair of small, gold, terrapin-shaped stud earrings — the team scanned one of the Testudo statues as its model, so the dimensions match exactly.

Potter said 3-D printing is a three-step process that starts with an idea, moves to a computer construction and is completed through slicing software. The process varies greatly in time depending on the size of the object — for example, the Testudo earrings took 20 minutes to print, while the goblet shot glass took about 10 hours, Potter said.

MindForge Design plans on upgrading its printer and color options.

The team members recently ordered an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor, Potter said, which will allow them to scan pictures of people and create bobbleheads of their friends’ faces. The three students also intend to purchase a bigger printer with more workspace, an upgrade from their 10-by-10by-10 centimeter print area, and plan on adding more color options to their venue, including a glow-in-the-dark option. As of now, the team can only offer red and white filament and gold and silver spray paint.

The team members said they’d like the business to grow, but they haven’t thought much about expansion yet. They plan to begin showcasing their work and publicizing the business on Facebook and through chalking around the campus. But for now, they’re just focused on the Quidditch team’s request for a snitch.

“It would be awesome to take this outside college,” Potter said.

“If they are there from the beginning of the process, I would be much more likely to use the 3-D printer,” she said.

The team charges 10 cents per gram of plastic filament used in each product — half of McKeldin’s price. Smith said the library charges 20 cents per gram so students don’t take advantage of the printer and print large objects often. But if more people use McKeldin’s printer, he said, the price could go down.

The MindForge Design members’ favorite design that they have printed is a gold, goblet-shaped shot glass, they said. Their smallest design, which also gained the most newsumdbk@gmail.com

every country has to engage in some research that is not designed to advance knowledge, per se,” Loh said. “It’s designed to advance the security interests of the country, and that kind of research has to be done on a classified basis.”

The government is entitled to its secrets from the public for safety, Loh said. Waters said national security could require secrecy. The public isn’t entitled to information if it jeopardizes their safety, Aftergood said.

The trouble is, researchers can’t agree on what defines that threshold.

Former NSA and CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden said the biggest challenge for intelligence officials is change. The world is constantly changing and relations are always shifting, he said, and the threshold that may be acceptable one day is too loose or too strict the next.

Sept. 11, 2001, was a pivotal moment — not just for those

grieving, but also for national security. In an instant, Hayden was forced to make changes in how the NSA ran and what its priorities were.

The planning for the attacks had come from inside American borders, eluding surveillance efforts focused abroad.

Those effects were felt at this university, and that was one of the reasons behind the CASL’s establishment.

T here was an increased interest in the way people relate to those around them.

When the “War on Terror” first arose, there was a need to focus on Middle Eastern languages. Cold War politics fell by the wayside, and language education moved from a focus on Russian dialects to Arabic, as the New York Times reported in 2004, and the CASL was one such government project helping to make the transition.

Na t i o n a l s e c u r i t y a n d democracy are a balance, Hayden said. There are trade-

offs to heighten security, and it’s never completely stable, especially when it comes to research.

“Labs thrive on openness.

You do have this clash of cultures,” Hayden said. “It’s a condition to be managed.”

T he NSA isn’t per fect, Hayden said. It lacks transparent oversight — something that needs improvement in the wake of information leaks.

But transparency isn’t a panacea. It poses dangers, too, Hayden said, especially in the Internet age. People feel empowered; they have a forum for discussion, a plus for innovation. But the web also allows them to easily disseminate thousands of documents; the era of Drakes, Mannings and Snowdens is only beginning.

“The dark side of this is bad guys,” Hayden said. “We may stop the sharing that has let us be as efficient as we are.” lblaseydbk@gmail.com

Univ professors question student use of technology for classwork Study finds distracting laptops, phones lead to lower grades

By Zoe Sagalow @thesagaofzoe Staff Writer Looking around his psychology class, Scott Roberts often noticed students staring into their laps and smiling.

There was nothing subtle about the glowing screens hidden under the desks. With the way students were scrolling on their laptops instead of typing, it was obvious they were up to something other than taking notes on the lecture.

Such observations prompted him to conduct a study with his class, PSYC 100: Introduction to Psychology, last fall, asking his students questions based on the day’s lecture and if they had been using an electronic device during the class. The results?

Of those students who used technology, 10 percent used it solely for class purposes, and almost 70 percent used it only for non-class purposes.

Roberts is one of many

college instructors across the country reevaluating the pros and cons of using electronic devices in the classroom. A similar research study conducted last fall at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, showed that more than 90 percent of students have used their devices during class for non-class purposes.

Tuning out from a lecture or class discussion to check Facebook or scroll through Twitter can have negative effects on learning, Roberts said. In his study, he found that students who used a cell phone or laptop during class got the equivalent of a “D” on the quiz, whereas those who kept their devices off earned an “A.” “This needs to be a conversation that we have with our students,” Roberts said. “Students are overestimating the extent to which they can multitask.”

The results of the study were enough to convince Roberts to ban technology in his classes.

But technology plays a much

different role in Jason Farman’s Digital Cultures and Creativity classes, in which he encourages students to maintain a Twitter conversation throughout his lecture. While Farman, an American Studies professor and DCC distinguished faculty fellow, presents a lecture in front of the room, students contribute to a Twitter discussion feed displayed on a screen behind him.

“Students are distracted regardless,” Farman said. “My goal as a professor is to shift that a bit, to use devices that have typically pulled them away from course content, to things like social media, to instead use those devices to engage course material.”

For Ashley La, a sophomore biochemistry major who had a class with Farman in each semester last year, it was difficult at first to pay attention to the class and keep up with the Twitter channel. Sometimes, she found herself distracted by checking Facebook and emails

The physical and digital discussions, La said, offered various perspectives on the topics simultaneously.

“It was like being involved in two conversations at once,” she said. “It was a great way to express our opinions and see others’ opinions without interrupting the speaker and using up class time.”

Freshman chemical engineering major Joshua Hall, who is taking one of Farman’s classes this semester, found following the two conversations difficult. While attempting to stay engaged with the Twitter talk, he said he only catches the main points from the in-person lecture. But

ETHICS From PAGE 1 “Ethics Bowl is more about exploring the ethical issue, ta k i ng i nto accou nt both sides and … evaluating it as a whole,” said senior philosophy major Ezra Ellenberg.

The students received 15 cases to study beforehand, but only one of these cases, chosen at random, is discussed during the competition.

The students on the team present for 10 minutes, then the opposing team gets an opportunity to respond for five minutes. The former team responds again, followed by 10 minutes of questions from the judges. Each team gets a chance to lead and rebut. “[The judges] look at how well you identify the central ethical issues in the case,” Ellenberg said. “They look at how well you take into account the opposing argument. They also take into account your politeness when it comes to kind of dealing with the other team.”

The teams met weekly to prepare for the competition, said Susan Dwyer, philosophy professor and Ethics Bowl coach. They met for three to five hours a week for six weeks and for 10 hours the week before the bowl.

“You’re not allowed to have any notes with you,” Ellenberg said. “We had to kind of memorize and become very fa-

COUNCIl From PAGE 1 was breaking a university policy, but she thought it was important to reach out to potential student voters in addition to long-term residents.

“I distributed my fliers in student housing areas, and I distributed my fliers in other neighborhoods — and I think that’s a good thing,” Stullich said. “[If] I’m not supposed to campaign in student housing buildings, I guess I would make that a goal that I would like to change because I think it’s important for students to have the opportunity to hear from the candidates.”

T hou g h t he u n iversity doesn’t allow solicitations, Leonardtown resident and sophomore finance major Daniel Misner found nothing wrong with Stullich’s move and said that because of the flier, he now knows who Stullich is.

“If I were to go vote, maybe this would sway me because it put her name out there more than the other person,” he said.

A letter supporting the re-

this dual dialogue, he said, is constructive because it allows students to share their ideas at once in a new forum.

It might be hard to balance all the conversation at once, Farman said. But concentrating on the different conversations happening could help students become more engaged in course topics on a deeper level, he said.

Farman wants to “push [students] to deal with the discomfort of handling multiple information streams in a way they’re not used to doing and see if it’s worth it.”

Unlike Farman, Roberts said he won’t advocate for other professors to prohibit technology use the way he did in his psychology classes. Some

instructors are concerned that students will be upset with a ban, and he said such a ban is difficult to enforce, especially in a large classroom.

“Students need to understand that it may be having real effects on their learning,” Roberts said.

Sometimes, it’s just a matter of turning off the Internet at will, said Amy Johnson, a junior criminology and criminal justice and psychology major. She knows her weaknesses; Facebook, she said, is too tempting.

“But I think that involves more self-control than a lot of people can do,” Johnson said.

“And it’s taken me a long time to be able to do that.”

“T hose w ithout wea lth don’t have access to credit cards and don’t have access to computers at home,” said Patrick Donoho, Maryland Retailers Association. “They have to pay it because there’s no way that they can avoid it.”

But Steve Stanek, research fellow at The Heartland Institute and managing editor of Budget & Tax News, said the bill could be creating more problems because it doesn’t actually mirror brick-andmortar shopping.

“If I go shopping at a store here in my town or anywhere else in Illinois, I walk in and I buy whatever I want to buy and the retailer rings up the sale and applies the sales tax and we’re done. If I go to Wisconsin — same thing,” he said. “An online retailer would have to ask where you live and then would have to collect the sales tax for wherever you live.”

“It’s dangerous in effect to say we are going to make retailers in a different state follow whatever tax policy w e h a v e i n t h i s s t a t e ,” Stanek said.

Dwyer, who formerly trained students for the Ethics Bowl at UMBC, brought the program to this university in 2009.

“College Park didn’t have an Ethics Bowl team, and I t houg ht t h i s wa s cra z y since we were a much bigger school,” said Dwyer. “So I started recruiting people for Ethics Bowl and I’ve been coaching it every fall since I’ve been here.”

Dwyer’s 2011 team went to the national championship.

This year, the Ethics Bowl generated more attention than ever. After advertising to some philosophy classes, Dwyer received about 60 inquiries, and 40 students came to the information meeting. She held tryouts and narrowed a group of

20 down to the 10 students that made up the final Ethics Bowl teams. Dwyer said the teams this year were diverse and included government and politics, journalism, music, philosophy and psychology majors.

Dwyer chose a group of five students to represent the university at the Mid-Atlantic regional competition at Clemson University on Saturday, when they will compete against Clemson, Georgetown and the University of North Carolina, Asheville. If the team places in the top five, they’ll go to the national championship in February.

“We’ve got excellent prospects of certainly making national championship again this year,” Dwyer said. “We’re going to be training very, very hard this week.”

The hard work pays off for students such as Ellenberg,

election of Day and Stullich also circulated throughout the city earlier this week.

The letter, authorized by Neighbors for College Park treasurer Jeanne Jennings, said the neighborhood association expected “a sophisticated effort” to bring out as many as “700-1,000 new voters in our city council district.” The SGA and Greek life worked to register voters last month.

This letter further divides students and residents, Zwerling said.

“It’s really disappointing that the way to get long-term residents out to vote is to be motivated by the ‘us vs. them’ mentality,” she said.

Day, who did not read or authorize the letter, said he does not support any materials that inflame students or residents.

“We need to be looking to build those relationships,” Day said. “We don’t need to be forcing an issue between us because then we get nowhere.”

The letter advocates for voters in every household to vote for Day and Stullich.

“We believe that our student neighbors and long-time resi-

dents alike want a safe, economically vibrant and interesting college town — all things that Rob and Stephanie have worked toward,” it stated.

But Eric Olson, Prince George’s County Councilman, said it’s not about a distinction between students and residents — it’s about maintaining a team that he said has handled city issues well.

“To move t he city forward, the same team that’s been in there should stay in there because there are great things happening,” Olson said.

Ultimately, both Day and Stullich said, it’s important to get out the vote for every constituent — not just permanent residents.

“Any time you have a district as diverse as ours, and you cut a group of people out, that in some way means you’re not truly representing the people of your district,” Day said.

“These are multifaceted cases and they’re interesting to think about,” he said. “I get a lot out of thinking through these problems and discussing it with my teammates.”

Dwyer said she has witnessed students discover a lot about their own intellect, including how quickly they think on their feet and how they rely on one another.

“Just to have this experience of knowing that you can prepare a complex ethical analysis of the case, and then, without notes, get up and talk for 10 minutes about it in a convincing fashion,” Dwyer said, “Nothing boosts your intellectual self-confidence like that.” dlevydbk@gmail.com

“I understandably freaked out because I like my job here. I was worried about trying to find a new one while also dealing with the school year,” Tumas said.

“I started the appeal process in July, and then you just kind of wait and hope that they get back to you at some point. When they got back to me, they said I didn’t need it.”

Tumas’ co-worker checked her financial aid package again in September and saw that she received a federal work-study grant, so she advised Tumas to do the same.

“I got a significant amount less than I usually do,” Tumas said. “[The process] was very frustrating and confusing.”

On the federal level, there’s the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would empower states to team up or meet mandates simplifying sales tax compliance to ensure consumers pay the sales tax.

State Democrats such as Sens. Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin, as well as Reps.

Chris Van Hollen and Elijah Cummings, have voiced their support for the bill, which passed in the Senate in May but is still in committee in the House.

Supporters of the bill argue the legislation is necessary to level t he play i ng f ield between online and brickand-mortar stores. Though taxes apply at time of purchase at the latter, the Internet allows consumers to evade the tax entirely.

“It’s an incentive that just doesn’t make a lot of sense and just shouldn’t be there,” said Carl Davis, senior policy analyst at the Institute on Ta x a t i o n a n d E c o n o m i c Policy. “It’s important not to exaggerate the effect that the sales tax has at driving customers away from brickand-mortar stores, but it does have an effect.”

financial need.

Like Chertock and Tumas, Kyle Dorsey, a senior criminology and criminal justice major, received a federal work-study award considerably lower than in past years without an explanation. He usually gets $2,000 per year, he said, but this year it was $620.

“I wa sn’t rea l ly prep a re d for t h at,” D ors ey said. “Nobody contacted me and said that I would be making any less money than I did in past years, so I didn’t anticipate it.”

One benefit of working a federal work-study job, Dorsey said, is managers understand that students’ studies come before working and often let students take off if they need to prepare for an exam. But because some of his income was cut, Dorsey had to get a second job. Now, he works 25 hours a week — 10 more than he used to — just to make the same amount of money.

B e t we e n D o rs e y ’s i nvolve m e nt i n A lph a Ph i Omega, TerpThon and the honors criminal justice fra-

ternity — and buying things such as senior pictures and a yearbook — Dorsey has found that senior year is his most expensive yet.

“Those things aren’t required, but those are things that I planned on doing,” Dorsey said. “These are memories I want to have. I wouldn’t give them up. It’s more than just the monetary value I would be losing if I didn’t participate [in work-study].”

Bauder said the university continues to appeal for more government funding each year to support its work-study program and she opposes any move to reallocate federal work-study funds to other financial aid branches.

“There is a proposal from one of the th i n k ta n ks to eliminate FWS so those funds could be reallocated toward Pell Grant funding,” Bauder said. “I would lobby against that proposal since FWS has historically been one of the most effective programs in increasing retention and graduation rates.” esilvermandbk@gmail.com

Adderall abusers hurt prescribed users A

dderall colors the lives of many college students. The National Institutes of Health reports that Adderall was prescribed to 14 million users between ages 20 and 39 in 2011. These aren’t necessarily the kids getting diagnosed with ADHD — the commonly perceived picture of an Adderall user — yet these people still go to doctors and are legally given the medicine.

So why do students insist on going the illegal route and buying Adderall under the table?

Adderall isn’t a drug like alcohol or cigarettes, or even marijuana. The Drug Enforcement Administration classifies Adderall as a Schedule II drug, alongside cocaine and methamphetamine. (Schedule I is the list with the most dangerous drugs, and Schedule V lists the least dangerous drugs.) It is therefore clearly important to have this drug’s ingestion monitored. Yet students continue to selfmedicate — an issue that is not only illegal, but potentially very dangerous.

As the number of prescriptions for Adderall have risen, so has the frequency of abuse. Adderall has become a part of the group that is the second-most common illicit drug used by college students after marijuana, according to the National Institutes of Health.

But as Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, it can adversely affect people who have severe anxiety or are prone to addiction. Both chemicals can be habit-forming and can cause extreme side effects for those who have anxiety and are using the drug unmonitored. Of course, the stress of college lifestyles can exacerbate latent anxiety symptoms in many students already.

Many students appear to be unnecessarily putting their health in danger, and it needs to stop. The University Health Center has already taken strides to stop the abuse of Adderall by enforcing the rule that students must be evaluated off the campus to acquire a

prescription for the drug. And because the DEA has put restrictions on Adderall sales, even the CVS adjacent to campus has a limited stock.

OUR VIEW

If you think you would benefit from a prescription of Adderall, see a doctor, not a dealer .

Students have yet to be deterred from buying Adderall illegally. It is theoretically easy to walk up to someone in McKeldin Library and just ask him or her for it — and it’s not even that expensive. Students apparently believe it will help them concentrate on studying, or else help them be more efficient.

Many college students hear the praises of Adderall during stressful times in the semester. A team of Brigham Young University health science and computer science re-

searchers confirmed those rumors when they conducted a six-month study in which they monitored all Twitter mentions of Adderall. The results in the Journal of Medical Internet Research established that students tweeted more frequently about Adderall in the time surrounding final exams each semester.

Between November 2011 and May 2012, 213,633 tweets from 132,099 unique users mentioned Adderall, excluding those promoting it professionally. Most were casual mentions of using the drug in an effort toward studying or concentrating.

Unfortunately, this is harming those who actually need Adderall to function in their daily lives. Because health monitoring institutions like the Food and Drug Administration and DEA are afraid students will abuse the drug, they put caps on the number of prescriptions allowed. The media sensationalizes the idea of Adderall, and students are therefore desensitized to its

harmful side effects. In fact, 9 percent of the tweets that mentioned Adderall also mentioned a second substance, according to the study. It measured that the most common second substance is alcohol, at 4.8 percent, but also recognized that substances such as cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamines and depressants such as Xanax are coupled with Adderall. And this is just in a social context — on Twitter.

The bottom line is, if you need Adderall, go to a doctor. They will likely prescribe it to you — that much is clear from the increasing number of prescriptions nationwide. And they will be able to monitor your intake, so that there is no unnecessary risk to your health, as there is when you self-medicate. And if everyone moves to taking the legal route to get the drug, there won’t be such an apathetic culture around using it, and fewer people will have the potential to be hurt by it. Just think about the benefits before you pop another pill.

UNPAID INTERNSHIPS

Monetary needs over interning

Sacrificing for experience

My internship did not impress me after all

Why my internship was ultimately worth it

T

he smell of stale coffee and microwavable college staples (mac and cheese, Cup Noodles — the usual) lingered in my dorm’s lounge well past everyone’s bedtime. I was still up drafting cover letters for summer internships for the fourth night that week. After sending out an overwhelming 34 cover letters, I finally got an internship with the Hearst Design Group. Just like Huffington Post columnist Leanna Smith, I was unpaid.

Though Smith and I worked at competing magazine conglomerates, the role of an editorial intern is pretty standard in the magazine industry. Smith gushed over her Condé Nast internship in her Huffington Post column, “An Unpaid Intern’s Two Cents,” praising an opportunity she felt “lucky enough to experience,” especially in light of the corporation’s decision to end its internship program. She detailed the makings of a perfect summer in which the value of her internship outweighed the costs of luxury lunches and transportation.

My problem with Smith’s column isn’t that she is advocating unpaid internships, but that she believes that her internship is just like the rest.

Catching a prolific photographer on the job?

Revising Vanity Fair’s “New Establishment” rankings for print? These aren’t tasks typically designated for interns, let alone to a student not majoring in journalism.

While Smith was Vanity Fair’s first pre-med intern, I was one of Hearst’s youngest. Yes, I got to do awesome tasks like help prepare for a photo shoot and even write a story for Elle Decor’s website, but I also exchanged a lot of pillows. My internship taught me how to use Hearst’s content management system and work in a professional

setting, along with basic skills any journalist should have.

But was the experience worth it at the end of the summer?

I commuted three days a week from New Jersey into Manhattan on a bus before taking the subway uptown. Transportation alone can add up to a hefty amount, and that’s before factoring in the cost for lunch every day. For me, having an unpaid internship isn’t the biggest deal until the company requires it to be done for college credit.

This university’s journalism college requires every post-August 2012 student to complete an internship, which is considered a two-credit “class.” However, just one credit for an out-ofstate student totals $1,108, which is nearly four times the amount an in-state student pays.

I’m not working for free; I’m actually losing money to gain experience in the field. For many students, this is a financial burden not worth taking. It almost stopped me from accepting the offer from Hearst. With Condé Nast ending its internship program, maybe those tasks typically allocated to interns will become the responsibilities of those with full-time, entry-level positions.

Since Hearst, I have secured my current internship and one for the winter. Both are unpaid, but at least I’m not required to complete them for college credit. I can appreciate my summer internship and the value it adds to my resume, but was it worth it in the monetary sense? I don’t think so.

capital by learning about sports with which I was previously unfamiliar. Having the chance to work with experienced writers and have them critique my work is priceless.

Deadlines and responsibilities beyond my schoolwork have made me more determined and efficient.

The extra workload has forced me to manage my time more effectively so that I am sure to get everything done on time. The extra writing also improved the quality of my school writing and my grades.

But the biggest reason this internship was worth it is that I now have a job lined up after graduation. Not all internships end with employment, but you are more likely to be offered a job by a company or employer that is familiar with you and your work. In the current job market, you have to take every opportunity you can to prove you are worth hiring. Showing an employer that you are willing to work toward improving yourself without the incentive of payment could make the difference between you and your competitors.

So before you write off that unpaid internship because you want a regular paycheck, look at the long term. The experience you gain from working at a young age within your field of interest can lead to higher pay and much higher job satisfaction in the future. A small sacrifice today could be a huge investment for tomorrow.

During my time in college, I have been blessed with many opportunities. Because of everything I gained from studying at a great university, such as meeting wonderful people, my last four years have been some of the best of my life. But one of the most rewarding aspects of this time has been my decision to accept an unpaid internship position.

Of course being paid is great, and working for free for too long is never a good decision, but my unpaid internship has been an important part of my personal and professional growth.

In the spring of this year I accepted an unpaid internship with SportsWatch. com, an up-and-coming college sports website. This internship requires me to write recaps of ACC soccer matches and cover numerous sports from several NCAA schools. While I have had to sacrifice time and potentially money, I have taken away far more from this internship than I have given up.

In the short time I have been writing for SportsWatch, I have had my articles published online and read by thousands of sports fans across the nation. Being responsible for writing about such a wide variety of sporting events has afforded Dave Stroh is a senior English major. He can be me the opportunity to expand my social reached at dstrohdbk@gmail.com.

The whitewalls experiment ANAND GUPTA

but do not promote the level of collaboration that could be facilitated by large whitewalls.

Second, improved creativity. Tools like Google Docs that allow people to collaborate on shared documents online are great for teamwork. And most of them are free, too. But such online platforms are largely limited to text, so we can’t intuitively draw our ideas into maps, which inhibits our ability to lay out our thoughts. Besides, all of us who use these online platforms are all too familiar with the accompanying distractions of the Internet.

Finally, heightened performance and quality of work. The result of improved collaboration and creativity should lead to an improvement not only in the quality of the work we do but also enhancement of the entire learning experience.

In March 2011, TheNew York Times explored the science behind human intelligence, sociality and success (in comparison to lower primates).As per the survey its journalists conducted of academic studies on the subject, humans have been able to build rockets not because of big brains, but because “10,000 individuals cooperate in producing the information.” Collaboration is a human instinct.

In a learning environment like our university’s, creating tools to improve that collaboration should be explored.

The cost-benefit equation on this also works out. Contrary to what you might think about the economics of such an experiment, the costs of running the whitewalls experiment will be minimal.

Fifty square foot of IdeaPaint, a market leader in whitewalling, costs $225. For under $5,000, we could have 1,000 square feet of whitewalls.

I urge the university authorities to explore the possibilities of conducting this whitewalls experiment.

On Oct. 30, Wall Street Journal technology columnist Farhad Manjoo wrote about the power of the whiteboard. He discussed how high-tech Silicon Valley companies that have been responsible for creating a vast array of sophisticated digital products ironically rely on nondigital mediums to sort through their ideas and visions. In particular, he wrote about how one of these tech companies, popular note-taking app creator Evernote, has its office walls painted in such a way that the walls function as whiteboards — or “whitewalls” — and how that helps the company boost productivity and innovation.

That got me thinking: We should have this system implemented on our campus as well.

And to confirm whether this enhances student productivity, collaboration and creativity, university authorities should run a round of experiments. Imagine what having these whitewalls in McKeldin Library or any one of the dorm lounges would do to student productivity.

The direct benefits of having whitewalls in our student community are as follows: First, increased collaboration. Right now, in my experience, the model for most group assignments has been dividing a project into as many parts as there are members in the team.

Each team member is responsible for completing one part of the assignment, and everyone compiles their work into the main project document for submission. Cross-sectional collaboration is minimal, and to a large extent I think the reason for that is not having a large Anand Gupta is a senior environmental enough canvas onto which we can throw all science and policy major.

DIMINISHING RETURNS

A new Cut Copy album obsessed with old sounds and a fresh take on an Eminem classic offer two disappointed looks at music history REVIEW | FREE YOUR MIND

LASTING IMPACT | CURTAIN CALL

CUT COPY has always pushed itself in new directions and experimented with new sounds, but Free Your Mind ’s adventures in house music prove to be a musical dead end driven by little more than nostalgia. photos courtesy of windishagency.com and residentadvisor.com

EMINEM MAY BE WELL-KNOWN for his foul-mouthed juvenilia, but his best lyrics might also be his cleanest. He’s forced to get creative when he can’t fall back on f-bombs, leading to some eccentric and memorably absurd one-liners. photo courtesy of friedmylittlebrain.com

By Joe Antoshak @Mantoshak Staff writer In its 12 years of existence, Cut Copy has made a name for itself through the seamless genre-blending dynamic of its studio releases. The foursome’s critically-acclaimed 2008 breakthrough, In Ghost Colours, melded energetic indie pop, electronic dance and a few c h o i ce spl a sh e s of psychedelic rock.

The 2011 follow-up, Zonoscope, was a similarly pleasing musical stew, peppered with a pinch more synth pop than its predecessor.

Cut Copy’s fourth and newest release, Free Your Mind, runs in this same sonic-bending vein. This time, however, it desperately tries to cut and copy chunks of acid house into its already eclectic sound and winds up falling short of the mark. At the end of Free Your Mind’s 50 minutes, listeners are more likely to be left wondering what the hell vocalist Dan Whitford was trying to say behind the haze than they are to inherently un-

derstand and be emotionally affected by it.

The record was quite obviously influenced by the underground dance music scene that cropped up in the U.K.’s Second Summer of Love in 1988. Cut Copy has long cited seminal acid house duo The KLF as an influence, but never has it shown more than on this new record — and that’s not a good thing. Tracks like “Take Me Higher” feel awfully outdated, like something that might be used in one of the endlessly spoof-able montages that typified 1980s Hollywood flops.

The main problem with Free Your Mind does not stem from its gratuitous layering (although that is an issue at times) — it’s that it plays like an ode to a lost era, because that’s exactly what it is. It neither innovates nor reimagines acid house from a unique 21stcentury perspective, as it could and should have.

If great albums explore their setting with definite purpose and swagger, Free Your Mind sits cross-legged on the floor, grinning stu-

pidly while listening to a cassette player despite owning an iPod. While the album’s charms are mostly limited to its minor historic value, there are a few exceptions. “Dark Corners & Mountain Tops,” for example, is a tragically beautiful song that utilizes Whitford’s masterful ability to command a vocal track with some reverb lathered on top. It’s darker than the indie dance-rock precinct Cut Copy seemed to be presiding over five years ago, but it thankfully never borders on melodrama.

The production value is fantastic throughout the album and songs like the title track and “Meet Me In a House of Love” are undeniably catchy. Additionally, the house music aspects of “We Are Explorers” are some of the best moments on the album. Regrettably, these seconds of musical ecstasy are few and far between, rendering Free Your Mind a mostly impotent effort.

Though it’s not deserving of absolute condemnation, it’s also nowhere near being among the best releases of 2013. So call it uncommon, call it esoteric, but please don’t call it new. jantoshakdbk@gmail.com

By Kelsey Hughes @kelsey_said Staff writer I remember quite vividly how I first acquired Eminem’s Curtain Call. It was 2005 and I was at the mall with my friends. When we were ready to leave, we walked outside to catch our ride, and there, waiting at the entrance, was my mom in her gray minivan with the censored version of the album on full blast out her rolled-down windows.

She had bought the album because she absolutely loved the rapper’s big hit “Without Me.” We had cruised together in the car many a time, singing the “na na na”’s along with the chorus and pretending to follow the quick-paced verses.

However, after a few more listens to the full album, I don’t think the rest of the tracks sat quite as well with her. No longer interested, she passed the album along to me. I loved it. At 13, I preferred Em’s more lighthearted joke songs, but I still appreciated the angst and anger in his darker hits. I listened to the album on repeat, learning all the words and really feeling the emotion in songs like “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and “Lose Yourself”

despite never having experiences like the ones Slim describes in his songs.

Flash forward to 2013.

Some of my friends are back into classic Eminem. Though I’ve always been somewhat of a lackluster fan — I never made any serious effort to get into anything that wasn’t on the one 2005 greatest hits CD I memorized — I’m always prepared to show my appreciation for the ones I do know and embarrass myself by rapping along. When “My Name Is…” — probably my favorite of his upbeat songs — came on, I was ready. “Hi kids! Do you like Primus?”

I belted out and then suddenly stopped. “Primus” was the word in my version of the song, but Eminem definitely said something else in this original version. Mostly unfazed, I continued on — but found my understanding of the lyrics was vastly different from the uncensored version. Words were changed (and worsened) and entire lines were present that hadn’t been there before.

What surprised me more than this sudden revelation was that I liked the clean version better. The uncensored version contained gratuitous violence and cursing even in what I deemed the lighter songs. Though some

lyrics were simply muted in the clean version, others were changed entirely and often made funnier … or, dare I say, more clever?

My favorite: “I just drank a fifth of Kool-Aid, dare me to drive?” Uncensored, the lyric is actually “vodka.”

Since then, I’ve expanded my knowledge of his discography, this time uncensored.

There are times when one of his songs comes on and I just cringe at the sexism, excessive violence and faulty logic. No matter how little I believe in censoring music, I wonder how much better the songs could be if Marshall (as I sometimes like to think of him) was prohibited from using the offensive language he often clings to and instead got even more creative with his rhymes.

I appreciate Eminem for his wit (which I sometimes think he accidentally stumbles upon) and his raw fire in equal measure, and Curtain Call perfectly demonstrates both of those qualities. I don’t always enjoy how graphic he can be, though I will admit that this vulgarity is part of what makes him who he is. It’s when censored, however, that Eminem reaches his full potential. khughesdbk@gmail.com front photo courtesy of commons.wikimedia.org

Terps continue to shuffle guards Wells, Layman among players adjusting roles in Allen’s absence

By Aaron Kasinitz @AaronKazreports Senior staff writer

GUARD DEZ wells has had to adapt to guarding smaller opponents since his switch to point guard after starter Seth Allen was lost for eight to 10 weeks with a broken foot last week. christian jenkins/the diamondback

During most of the Terrapins men’s basketball team’s defensive possessions in Sunday’s 84-39 exhibition victory against Catholic, guard Dez Wells stood at the top of the key with his knees bent, waiting to meet Cardinals point guard Kyle Phanord.

Once the 5-foot-11 Phanord reached Wells, who stands 6-foot-5, it was clear to the announced 7,019 at Comcast Center that the Terps junior towered over his counterpart. And on the wing, 6-foot-8 Terps forward Jake Layman was matched up with Phanord’s brother, Kevin, and had a 9-inch height advantage over the shifty guard.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

While that discrepancy in size helped the Terps overpower the Cardinals, it also served as an apt tune-up for a team that will be forced to guard comparatively small lineups all season long.

When starting point guard Seth Allen broke his foot in practice last week, Wells and 6-foot-3 guard Roddy Peters became the Terps’ shortest rotational players. Those two, Layman and 6-foot-6 guard Nick Faust, will often be tasked with defending smaller and quicker players.

The Terps won’t wait long to be challenged by solid guard play, either. They open the season Friday against No. 18 Connecticut, a team that relies heavily on dynamic guards Ryan Boatright, Shabazz Napier and Omar Calhoun.

“It was definitely good practice for us to play against a team with a bunch of guards and smaller guys in Catholic,” Layman said. “UConn’s got some great guards, and Friday’s coming soon, so we’re pumped up.”

Overall, coach Mark Turgeon seemed pleased with the Terps’ defensive effort against the Division III Cardinals. Turgeon’s rotational players didn’t let up despite playing major minutes against an overmatched opponent and held Catholic to 25 percent shooting from the field.

“I thought we played well defensively pretty much the whole game,” Turgeon said. “We guarded, we kept guarding and our guys played for See GUARDS, Page 7

Spivey’s absence deals key off. blow Injury hurts stagnant offense vs Virginia

By Phillip Suitts @PhillipSuitts Staff writer Terrapins women’s soccer midfielder Ashley Spivey is the team’s second-leading scorer, but after suffering a knee injury during practice last week, she is out for the season, marking the latest setback for an offense that scores 1.75 goals per game and has struggled to replicate last season’s explosiveness.

Though the Terps scored early against No. 1 Virginia on Sunday, they were unable to generate consistent offensive pressure throughout the match without Spivey, tallying just five shots in the 6-1 loss.

“We don’t have enough pieces to go into this game and play arguably the best team in ACC history,” coach Jonathan Morgan said. “We have kids that are banged up, and they are trying to play, but they are at 60 percent.”

Spivey’s injury came as she was developing into a consistent second attacking option, which Morgan had been searching for earlier in the season. Spivey tallied a goal or assist in three of her last four games.

“I feel terrible for her because she was beginning to perform at a high level,” Morgan said. “I feel terrible because her and [forward] Hayley

BLOODIED BUT NOT BROKEN After injury-plagued start to career, season, Shinsky’s return boosts Terps in N.C. State win

By Daniel Popper @danielrpopper Staff writer Alex Shinsky was supposed to be a star for the Terrapins men’s soccer team.

TopDrawerSoccer.com ranked the midfielder as the No. 1 recruit in the nation in 2011. He started and scored a goal for U.S. U-17 Men’s National Team during the 2009 FIFA World Cup in Malawi; earned all-state honors four years straight while playing for West York Area High School in York, Pa., scoring 17 goals as a senior; and had offers from a host of elite college programs, including North Carolina, Virginia and Stanford.

But injuries marred a once-promising career, as physical setbacks in each of the past three years limited Shinsky to just 37 appearances.

See SPIVEY, Page 7

After his first healthy week of practice since injuring his hamstring against Virginia Commonwealth on Sept. 8, though, Shinsky found his way back onto the field Friday night against N.C. State, and he did not disappoint. In 33 minutes, Shinsky assisted midfielder Sunny Jane’s game-tying goal while providing relentless on-ball pressure.

And while the performance doesn’t live up to what coach Sasho Cirovski expected to see from Shinsky at this point in his career, it’s a step in the right direction.

“He was great,” Cirovski said. “He’s had some injuries, and we wanted to put him through a whole week of hard training, and he made it through the whole week without reinjuring himself. We knew he was ready to play.”

Before this season, Cirovski saw promise

from Shinsky. The 21st-year coach said during a preseason media luncheon in August that it was the first time he’d seen Shinsky in complete game shape since the midfielder joined the program in 2011.

Shinsky started at center midfield for both games of the Terps’ season-opening West Coast trip to Stanford and California and saw action off the bench at home against Duke and VCU before pulling his hamstring.

The junior missed the next three games before returning with eight minutes remaining in the first half against Pittsburgh at Ludwig Field on Sept. 27. Fifteen seconds after entering the game, though, Shinsky collided heads with a Panthers defender, leaving a gash on his See shinsky, Page 7

Solid rebounding boosts offense Terps continue transition dominance in Holy Family exhibition

By Paul Pierre-Louis @PaulPierreLouis Staff writer Terrapins women’s basketball center Malina Howard reached her arm over Holy Family center Kasey Woetzel’s head and swatted her layup attempt from behind. Guard Shatori Walker-Kimbrough grabbed the loose ball and led the Terps in transition before finding guard Katie Rutan for an open layup on the other end.

The play was a part of the team’s 18-5 run to end the first half of its 99-44 victory over the Tigers, and the play demonstrated its two most successful areas during its final exhibition game Saturday. The Terps’

dominant presence in the paint complemented their speed in transition, and both were key factors of their performance against Holy Family.

The Terps’ 62 rebounds more than doubled Holy Family’s total for the game, and though the tally came against a Division II team, it allowed the Terps to sharpen their transition offense as well.

“I thought we were really able to do some great things on the glass,” coach Brenda Frese said. “Just an opportunity for us to blend a lot of combinations together.”

Former forward Tianna Hawkins headlined the Terps’ frontcourt last season, but the team’s current unit looks to collectively accommodate for

her departure. So far, the Terps, who have led the ACC in rebounding for the past three years, have adjusted well.

“We all can score. We all can run the floor. We all can rebound,” center Alicia DeVaughn said after practice Friday. “It’s not going to be set out for just one post player, as it was last year with Tianna.”

Centers Brionna Jones, DeVaughn, and Howard led that effort. They prevented Holy Family from getting comfortable in the paint, providing a strong inside defensive presence that forced the Tigers’ frontcourt into offbalance layups and ill-advised shots.

Holy Family scored only 14 points See transition, Page 7

guard shatori walker-kimbrough benefited from the Terps’ transition offense in Saturday’s 99-44 exhibition victory over Holy Family when she scored 14 points, including eight on fast breaks. alik mcintosh/the diamondback
