National security academy part of UMB partnership University of Maryland officials, as well as state officials, announced Tuesday a plan to create a new national security academy in Greenbelt. It would collaborate with the FBI in research and educational opportunities.

The Maryland Academy for Innovation in National Security will build on many existing programs at this university, including the Maryland Cybersecurity Center, the Center for the Advanced Study of Languages and the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. It hopes to “help foster continuous innovation at the world’s preeminent intelligence-led law enforcement organization,” according to a university memo.

CRIME BLOTTER

By Michael Brice-Saddler | @TheArtist_MBS | Senior staff writer University of Maryland Police responded to reports of a suspicious person, vandalism a nd telephone/ email misuse, among ot her i nc id ent s t h i s past week, according to police reports.

SUSPICIOUS PERSON On Friday at 5:12 p.m., University Police responded to Hornbake Library for a report of a suspicious person. A man with no affiliation to this university was returning to Hornbake Library to retrieve his b elon g i n g s a nd d i scovered the doors were locked, accord i ng to pol ice spokeswoma n Sgt. Rosanne Hoaas.

The man walked i nto a sta f f a rea a nd sp oke w it h a l i bra r y employee, who found the man’s behavior odd and notified University Police, Hoaas said.

An officer spoke with the man outside of t he b u i ld i n g, a nd the of f icer told the man he would retrieve his property inside the building for him.

The officer searched, but was not able to locate any of the man’s belongings, Hoaas said.

Police issued the man a denial of access to the staff area, Hoaas said. This case is closed.

MISUSE University Police responded to the BiologyPsychology Building on Friday at 11:03 a.m., where a female student a t t h i s u n i v e r s i t y reported to police that she had received a series of t e x t m e s s a ge s f ro m a text messaging internet service, Hoaas said.

Both the victim, a female student, and her boyfriend received text messages which were odd and harassing in nature.

T he content of the messages was not threatening, Hoaas said.

The victim was given i n fo r m a t i o n f ro m t h e O f f ic e of C iv i l R i g ht s and Sexual Misconduct, Hoa a s sa id . T h i s c a s e remains open and active.

academy From p. 1 Springfield, in Virginia, that can offer that,” added Busch at the event.

The agency is considering Greenbelt, as well as Landover and Springfield, Virginia, as locations for their new headquarters, which could cost more than $2.5 billion, according to The Washington Post.

“This is the best place for the FBI because of what we can do for them,” added Allan Kittleman, Howard County executive, noting this university’s partnership with UMB. Braniff said in an interview before Tuesday’s event the partnership benefits both students and the FBI and makes Greenbelt a more appealing relocation choice. He added that the partnership would not be costly, as most of the relevant research is already happening. The improved relationship between this university and the FBI could also lead to more FBI-funded research as a secondary effect of this partnership, he said.

“We definitely have the expertise in the state to give the FBI what it needs,” said Caret at the event Tuesday morning. “We can provide the ecosystem they need and want. Let’s make it happen.”

Greenbelt is “the ideal development site for the FBI” — a place where the FBI “would have access to world-class research and talent pool,” according to the memo.

A Greenbelt FBI would provide the MPowering the State partnership with a “brick-and-mortar, highly relevant and highly visible focal point for the collaboration,” the memo read.

Donald Tobin, dean of this university’s law school in Baltimore, said Greenbelt gives the FBI the unique benefit of having a relationship with two leading universities that are already aligned and coordinated through the Maryland Academy plan, a strategic partnership between the College Park and Baltimore campuses, in the national security field.

And the headquarters could be coming sooner than later, Busch said.

“We believe at the end of the year this can come to fruition and we can start to build,” he added. adunndbk@gmail.com, rraineydbk@gmail.com

Trump jabs Clinton on ‘deplorables’ comment Hogan chooses not to appear with nominee at Baltimore engagement RepubliRebecca Rainey can presiden@RebeccaARainey tial nominee Donald Trump Staff writer commented on Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” statement and appealed to his military supporters during his speech in Baltimore on Monday at the annual conference of the National Guard Association of the United States.

A slew of Trump supporters lined the streets outside the Baltimore Convention Center, where the annual conference was held.

The 15-minute speech began with an anti-Clinton push, focusing on her comments at a fundraiser on Sept. 9, when she said half of Trump’s supporters fit into a “basket of deplorables.” She accused Trump of lifting up this “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic” group.

“She divides people into baskets as though they were objects, not human beings,” Trump said. “Hillary Clinton has revealed her true thoughts, she looks down on the citizens of our country.”

Trump said he did not believe that his many supporters were “xenophobic” or “Islamaphobic.” by

class From p. 1 it is likely that actual enrollment is close to 4,500 s t u d e n ts — 1 0 p e rce n t more than the goal — Undergraduate Admissions Director Shannon Gundy said in a Sept. 1 interview.

Between fall 2013 and fall 2015, an average of about 32 percent of accepted students chose to attend each academic year.

Official data detailing the fall 2016 freshman class profile will be available on the office’s website after a “data freeze” at the end of this month, said Katie Lawson, university communications director.

But this year’s enrollment increase could be attributed to the university’s switch to the Big Ten — bringing an influx of out-of-state applicants — and a continued appeal to in-state students because of lower tuition, Loh said.

“When I talk to school counselors, they tell me that their students who are interested in Maryland are interested at a higher rate than they have been in the past,” Gundy said.

“We’re doing well, and people are hearing about it, and they’re coming to see it for themselves, and it’s working,” she said.

Other University System of Maryland schools have also seen a rise in application numbers.

“People who warn about radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamaphobes,” Trump said. “I cannot see how she can campaign any further.”

Clinton posted a video to her Twitter account Monday in response to Trump’s comments from the conference about her having “such a low opinion” of American citizens.

Trump shifted his focus to his campaign, adding that he was polling “exceptionally well” among Mexicans and Hispanic workers in the past few days.

While Trump’s popularity with the Latino vote has fluctuated, he still trails Clinton in the demographic 54.7-32.2 percent, according to the USC Dornsife/ Los Angeles Times Daybreak poll.

T r u m p a l s o p ro m i s e d members of the military he would guarantee them the best resources and equipment “that [the military] needs and deserves.”

“The National Guard will have a direct line to the oval office — and I mean direct,” Trump said.

Trump said he plans to change policies to benefit all Americans and called for new military policy for a “major rebuilding” of the United States military. He promised that his campaign

At the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, the number of applications increased by more than 1,500 — from 28,310 applications to almost 30,000 — between fall 2015 and fall 2016, said Ran Wang, an undergraduate admissions counselor.

With more than 500 extra regular admission and Freshmen Connection students in the mix, ensuring housing on the campus meant the Department of Resident Life had to make some adjustments, but all students who accepted their admission offers by the May 1 deadline received housing, said Scott Young, Resident Life’s associate director of administrative and business services.

T h i s re q u i re d c h a n ge s such as adding six additional flex-triples and turning five floor lounges — two in La Plata Hall, two in Elkton Hall and one in Dorchester Hall — into quads, Young said.

“It disrupts the floor,” Yo u n g s a i d . “ [ B u t ] w e worked hard to make sure we got all of the freshmen who wanted on-campus housing off the waiting list. We’re giving a firm foundation for students in their first year, and then we can allow them to stay for a second year.”

Resident Life wasn’t able to house many transfer students due to the size of the freshman class, and with the university “about to tear down two or three residence halls … we need to move very quickly to build housing,” Loh said.

republican nominee donald trump speaks at the National Guard Association of the United States’ annual conference in Baltimore on Monday. tom hausman/the diamondback was the one that will deliver “for the people.”

“We will be one people under God saluting the American flag,” Trump said shortly before exiting the stage to a standing ovation.

But Trump supporters were not the only ones gathering in Baltimore. Maryland Democrats Rep. Elijah Cummings, Rep. Chris Van Hollen and Sen. Ben Cardin all stood in front of Baltimore City Hall before Trump took the stage at the Convention Center to share their concerns about the Republican presidential nominee.

“We ...want to remind America of exactly who Donald Trump is, and to remind them that we are at

a very critical crossroads in our nation’s history,” Cummings said.

“It’s interesting now that he’s going to address a group of voters who, because of their harmony, because of their working together, they have created the best military in the world.”

Van Hollen took the stage and said Trump’s praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin was “reckless” and “dangerous.”

“Bottom line — he’s not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief, and he would certainly jeopardize America’s national security,” Cardin said.

Nothing is certain, but t h e re i s a p o s s i b i l i ty o f placing dorms along Route 1, Loh added.

But Young disagreed, saying he was in favor of building more housing on the campus.

“It’s extremely important for freshmen to live on campus, because it’s where everything is,” said freshman Leah Surikov, who is enrolled in letters and sciences and requested to live on North Campus for her first year.

“If you don’t, it’s much harder to meet people and b e co m e a cc u s to m e d to campus,” Surikov said.

M o re s t u d e n t s o n t h e campus also leads to more students in classrooms and larger class sizes — something that would require more funding for the university.

The dean of undergraduate studies has been working to increase the number of general education courses offered at the university to accommodate students, Gundy said.

“We don’t want to have bulging classrooms, because

that dilutes the soup,” Loh said. “I think we can acc o m m o d a te t h e s e e x t ra [students] without diluting the soup. But I don’t know if we can co ntinue to do that.”

Lisa Kiely, the assistant dean of undergraduate studies, called the creation of new courses as a result of greater enrollment “premature.”

But departments and colleges did add more seats in “critical” areas when the university realized the new student class would be larger than expected, Kiely wrote in an email.

“Everyone involved jumped in and made sure there were enough seats for all new students,” she wrote.

University officials will continue to develop more options to utilize resources in order to accommodate for the current and future student populations.

“I don’tÍ have any solutions yet,” Loh said, “[but] enrollment planning is a very high-priority issue.”

Renovations for the facility, which would cost nearly $6 million, would be contracted through Bright Horizons, an early education and preschool provider. The child care would have 120 seats for children younger than 5 years old whose parents or guardians are university employees or College Park residents, and spaces would be available for residents based on the city’s financial contribution, District 3 Councilwoman Stephanie Stullich said.

ing rebuilding and renovating the site of the former Friends School on Calvert Road. It could also contribute to the land and the building as a 40-year lease, meaning the city would rent the site to the university and not be involved with the renovations, Stullich said.

“I’d like to see us do something along these lines,” Wojahn said. “We still have to figure out what kind of investment we have to make in it.”

Renovation plans would demolish an addition and city code enforcement offices, which are housed in the building, to construct a new structure that would “meet the needs of the child

care center,” Stullich said.

If the city rejects the proposal, this university has a second location option near M Square Research Park, she added.

Ideally, this university and city will support the creation of the facility, as there is a shortage of local child care options, and tuition at the daycare would cover ongoing cost, Stullich said.

Child care is a “huge need,” in the city, said District 3 Councilman Robert Day, who supports the proposal.

The decision to build a new facility at the Calvert Road location is contentious for College Park residents, who previously rejected proposals to develop in the area over traffic concerns, Stullich said. But this proposal is a “win-win” for the city, because “it will help to meet a need in the community for more child care, for more

high-quality child care,” she said.

The council needs to hear from Calvert Hills and other city residents before making a decision, District 4 Councilwoman Mary Cook said.

She added that the cost of daycare program could be “very expensive,” and that s h e wo u l d p re fe r to s e e something more affordable.

“I’m concerned about cost, I’m concerned about the residents in general,” Cook said.

“I’m concerned about what residents will benefit, and how many of them will benefit from [the child care facility].”

Carlo Colella, the university’s vice president of administration and finance, said the university has spent years seeking a child care service that could also benefit the city.

The Center for Young Children on campus does not accept children younger than 3, he said.

But for Day, acquiring a site for the center is only one part of the local child care issue.

“The addition of this school will not solve the big problem. This is one part of a multi-faceted solution we’re going to have to come up with,” Day said.

stop for the [104] Metro bus on South Campus, especially since it’s older people who live down there,” junior environmental science and technology major Whitney Jarrett said. “They have internships, jobs; they have more money and time to go down to D.C. and spend it, so there should be a stop there.”

Sophomore accounting major Catie Denz does not take the Metro often, but said she sees the need for a South Campus stop for other students as well.

“If someone was commuting … they might need that to be more convenient,” Denz said.

The RHA Transportation Advisory Committee, which deals with issues concerning transportation such as buses and parking, will address any concerns with the bus route

once the committee reconvenes in early October. The committee is made up of RHA Senate members and addresses the transportation needs of oncampus students.

The committee contributes input on bus routes and introduction of new bus lines.

“RHA will be working with the Graduate Student Government, SGA and David Allen to find a happy medium,” Galbreath said.

While Allen said DOTS’ current plan is to “keep the previous configuration of the route,” it still intends to work with the RHA. “We certainly will talk more with RHA to hear their thoughts on how to combat that problem,” Allen said.

Over the summer, the Department of Transportation Services piloted a revision route that ran from Regents Drive Parking Garage, past the east

But DOTS canceled it because of complaints about disturbances to the College Park residential area, according to RHA Vice President Sasha Galbreath.

Hall Association is currently pushing — which was initially proposed this past spring — runs from Regents Drive Parking Garage, past the east end of McKeldin Mall, Memorial Chapel and Montgomery Hall, then turns left onto Route 1 and right on Campus Drive, Galbreath said.

The RHA is keeping College Park residents in mind, she said, adding that because student demand is high, the RHA will keep pushing for the bus to stop on South Campus while avoiding cutting through the residential areas.

However, DOTS has expressed concerns with the

delays on Route 1 that would lengthen the time it takes to complete the bus route, DOTS Director David Allen said.

Route 1 traffic could cause the 104 Metro bus to decrease the amount of round trips per day.

“RHA provides good feedback for us,” Allen said. “We are aware of their wishes to make a left on Route 1. Traffic on Route 1 is severe and would increase delays. Those additional headways would be a challenge.”

University of Maryland, College Park Smith School of Business Fall Career Fair Friday, September 23

Former student’s org, univ NAACP lobby for statue for pioneer player Proposed statue would honor Darryl Hill, first black ACC football player Former University of MaryKimberly Escobar land football @kimescobarumd player Darryl Hill Staff writer made history as the first African American player to play in the ACC. Now, the National Network for the Liberation of College Athletes, a national group comprised of students and staff founded by former university student Colin Byrd, is pushing for a statue to be made in his honor.

T h e g ro u p, a l o n g w i t h NA AC P c a m p u s c h a p te r members, Justice for Juniors and alumni, signed a Sept.

6 letter addressed to University President Wallace Loh asking if this university would “erect a statue of Darryl Hill on or around Maryland Stadium.” by

“The story of Darryl Hill is not just important to telling the University of Maryland’s history,” Byrd said. “It’s really important in telling the history of college athletics overall. He not only integrated Maryland football program, but college football all across the south.”

This request comes after the former Byrd Stadium was renamed to Maryland Stadium in December, according to the letter. In fall 2015, the Byrd Stadium Naming Work Group made suggestions to consider “installation of public markers in and around the stadium to honor individuals who better represent the university’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. One name that came up was Darryl Hill,” the letter read.

English professor Michael Olmert, who wrote a play about Hill in 2010 titled Moving The Chains: The Darryl Hill Play, said having a statue of Hill would be the same as having one of Frederick Douglass, a former slave and abolitionist.

“I think people could look at that statue in the same way that they look at the Frederick Douglass statue,” Olmert said. “Darryl Hill isn’t Frederick Douglass, but actually, they have both put their lives in danger to make a statement … to change the culture.”

If the university agreed to have a statue of Hill on the campus, it would show that this university had a commitment to diversity, senior communication major Kayla Tarrant said.

“It’s one thing to get rid of the name that is offensive in the long run; it’s another thing to completely put something that is positive in front of the stadium so that all students of all races can see that the university is dedicated to what they do,” Tarrant said.

In 2012, the ACC honored Hill for creating a path for future generations on the 50th anniversary of his first Maryland game in 1963, according to a Diamondback article. Hill’s foundation, Kids Play USA, helps youth nationally fight

against economic discrimination, the article noted.

From 2003 to 2009, Hill was named the director of major gifts for this university’s department of Intercollegiate Athletics. During his time there he was responsible for financing the nowMaryland Stadium expansion and obtained a $20 million n a m i n g g i f t w i t h C h ev y Chase for the football field, according to his LinkedIn profile. As of 2012, he is also on the Board of Directors for the University of Maryland Athletic Hall of Fame.

Ultimately, this statue would help tell people that cultural change always comes with a price, Olmert said. “[Hill] paid the price so that later generations of African Americans can come here and play football,” he added. “His three years … He loved being here but it wasn’t like yours.

There was danger and there was tension during football season. But he is still a big fan of Maryland, and he loves what [the Maryland football team] did for him.”

The group said it hopes to receive a response by the end of September, according to the letter. kescobardbk@gmail.com

Human rights, not gay rights

Max An Columnist

Yesterday night I had the opportunity to attend the Human Rights Campaign’s 20th annual National Dinner, an opulent congregation of this country’s foremost powerful LGBTQ leaders and activists. And yet, despite having volunteered with the campaign for many years, I realized only recently how few people have heard of the organization and the importance of its activity.

In a nutshell, the Human Rights Campaign is an organization that champions lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights. From empowering LGBTQ-friendly politicians to pushing LGBTQ legislation and helping LGBTQ communities, the campaign is at the forefront of the push for equal protections under the law.

For LGBTQ people, who have been historically persecuted against in all manners of public life, from marriage equality to equal employment and community support, the campaign is an organization that works to ensure these people receive basic, lawful human rights — rights that should not be denied on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Hearing one of the speakers, Tina Madison White, share suicidal thoughts induced by her struggles living as the wrong gender and spending time conforming to become a man, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed in myself for passively enabling such a judgmental society to define what normality is. From North Carolina’s House Bill 2, the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act to the fact that LGBTQ people are more likely to be victims of hate crimes than any other

minority, our country needs a systematic education in LGBTQ history and issues.

The problem is the popular misconception that LGBTQ discrimination is solely a gay issue when it’s a human rights issue. Much like the civil rights movement of the ’50s and ’60s and the disability rights movements, the LGBTQ rights movement isn’t fighting for abominable preferential treatments, but the same unalienable rights to life and liberty that are defined and granted by our Constitution. Fundamentally, no matter your opinion of someone, it is categorically iniquitous to deny that person the chance to pursue happiness, or the chance to live and love the way they want to.

Unfortunately in this country today, that is the reality facing us. People may still be denied employment solely based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, and that is exactly why we must continue to fight for our equal entitlement to human rights and dignity, lest we allow our unity to be dissolved by the shadows of fear and misunderstanding. Together, it may be possible to create a more perfect union, a union based on protecting our equal human rights.

Ultimately, we must realize that our cultural and religious traditions do not necessarily have to conflict with the protection of our basic human rights.

Indeed, these rights are undeniable liberties and experiences because they cut across all religions and traditions in a way that universally bind us. maxandbk@gmail.com

guest column

Coach Lefty Driesell should be inducted into the Hall of Fame Len Elmore, Tom McMillen Former players

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame welcomed its latest group of inductees this past week in Springfield, Massachusetts, and once again a coach who eminently deserves to be there, Charles “Lefty” Driesell, was conspicuously absent from the lineup.

This omission is especially startling because few people have contributed as much to basketball as Lefty. “Coach,” as we called him, had many accomplishments in his 17 seasons at Maryland. He compiled a 348-159 record — the school’s top winning percentage for men’s basketball — and coached six of the final Top 10 teams at Maryland. He led the Terps to an ACC title, the National Invitation Tournament Championship and more victories at Cole Field House than any other coach.

At Maryland, he was twice ACC Coach of the Year, and in 2007, he was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. He is also in the University of Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame and has received many other honors and awards.

However, his achievements are not confined to Maryland.

He is the only Division I coach in history to win more than 100 games while coaching at four vastly different schools — Davidson, Maryland, James Madison and Georgia State — and taking

the teams he coached to the NCAA tournament and being named Coach of the Year in each of the four conferences.

His 786 Division I career wins ranked fourth-highest in NCAA history when he retired in 2003 — behind only Dean Smith, Bobby Knight and Adolph Rupp — while today’s coaches have the luxury of playing more regular season games. Most significantly, he accomplished all of this while running clean programs with no NCAA investigations.

Coach also showed leadership in hiring George Raveling in 1969, the first African-American coach in ACC history, thus paving the road to diversity in coaching and other current leadership positions in the ACC. He coached three players who competed on the U.S. Olympic basketball team, two ACC Athletes of the Year and seven players drafted among the top picks for the NBA. In addition, he is the only coach in college sports to have coached two Rhodes Scholars and a Harvard Law graduate. We always found that Lefty was interested in our classroom performance, and indeed, his record shows that his players had one of the highest graduation rates in the NCAA. In order to properly evaluate the merit of a coach, the impact on the futures of those who played for and learned from him ought to be an indispensable factor in determining Hall-of-Fame worthiness.

Coach made his mark in other

ways as well. At Maryland, he was instrumental in increasing student support, resulting in home attendance records. Lefty originated the idea of Midnight Madness, thereby turning the start of the practice season into a celebration to encourage support of the team, an event that has since multiplied to become a tradition at colleges nationwide.

In sum, Lefty’s varied impact on the institution of college basketball has few parallels.

When Lefty walked onto the court in Cole Field House during the years we played, the band played “Hail to the Chief,” and for good reason. Through hustle, hard work and superior coaching skills, Lefty quickly turned a floundering Maryland basketball program, one that had just two ranked teams in the 46 seasons before he arrived, into one of the top programs in the nation. We won a national championship in 1972 at a time when the NCAA and NIT tournaments combined were hugely competitive because they allowed far fewer teams (41) to participate than the current NCAA tournament alone (68).

Coach had a distinguished and exceptional career. It is time for the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame’s nominating committees to recognize what he achieved and put him among the other greats of basketball, with whom he has proven that he belongs.

REUVEN BANK @moneyindabank97 Opinion Editor

Over a year ago, Republican presidential candidate a n d p u m p k i n - s p i c e f l a vo re d egomaniac Donald Trump began a tumultuous bid for the White House. Three campaign managers, two flip-flops on immigration policy and one promise to appoint Dennis Rodman as ambassador to North Korea later, I began to fear the devastation that this movement would bring to one of the most overworked, underpaid and unappreciated groups in this country: the Trump campaign’s human resources department. No one knew how these poor employees dealt with the stress of working to increase office morale for the political equivalent of a Jackson Pollack painting. Luckily, as one of The Diamondback’s top five most esteemed weekly humor columnists, I had enough journalistic cred to reach out to WikiLeaks for some freshly hacked HR emails from within the Trump campaign.

(Pro tip: For years WikiLeaks has actually been publishing all of their leaked classified information where no tech-savvy young NSA employee would think to look — on Myspace and Friendster). Here are some of those emails: Aug. 5, 2016, to the entire staff: The office lost and found is overflowing and must be emptied. If you recognize any of the following items let us know: • A pair of winter gloves monogrammed “DT” in gold letters, size extra small.

• Chris Christie’s leash and collar. In fairly good condition, they were purchased soon after Chris endorsed Donald. If he waits too long to go on his daily walk, he turns antsy and may pee on the rug, so please pick these up quickly.

• An empty manila envelope marked “BRIBE” stamped with

Ukrainian postage. (On an unrelated note, if anyone finds 5,000,000 rubles lying around the office, p l ea s e c o n ta c t P a u l M a n a fo r t immediately.)

Aug. 7, 2016, to the maintenance department: Whoever is in charge of the nightly cleaning crew, please remind them to keep the blackout curtains in Ted Cruz’s office shut, otherwise he won’t leave his crypt after sunrise. Also, tell the dining staff to remove all garlic products from his daily meals, and the intern in charge of the dry cleaning to make sure his black capes are returned wrinkle-free.

July 10, 2016, to Donald Trump: We have received your new best hiring practice guidelines, and we have a few questions. First of all, we have no concerns regarding your plan to put a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the campaign workplace. There is zero doubt that the ‘extreme vetting’ test you sent us, consisting of the questions “Do you like cheeseburgers?” and the follow-up, “Do you hate Al Qaida?” constitutes an airtight inspection system. However, we remain unsure of how to verify whether female applicants are — as you so eloquently described — “a 10.”

We also suspect that your policy of hiring fifth graders to write your “Lyin’ Ted” insult tweets may violate child labor laws. Contrary to your belief, composing hostile slogans of 140 characters or less on a billionaire’s Twitter does not qualify as extra credit for their creative writing class. And for the seventh time, you cannot fire Mr. Goldberg as your accountant.

The Anti-Defamation League has made it clear that being “proud of his heritage” does not prove a conflict of interest, even though you “saw him eating bagels and lox that one time.” reuven.bank@yahoo.com

Neighborhood to get upgrade The College P a rk City Carly Kempler C o uncil is @Carly Kempler moving forward Senior staff writer with upgrades to the city’s Hollywood neighborhood, which is located in North College Park.

Downtown College Park and Route 1 have both received major attention from the University of Maryland and the city council in terms of revitalization. However, the Hollywood neighborhood — home to many permanent College Park residents — will also receive some upgrades, according to District 1 Councilman Fazlul Kabir’s website.

The project aims to turn public dollars into private investment, Mayor Patrick Wojahn said. The primary area of focus for this “streetscape” design is at the corner of Rhode Island Avenue and Edgewood Road, Kabir said.

“The goal is to spruce it up a little bit and attract additional private development,” Wojahn said. “Get potential developers to come in to make the area better.”

These enhanced features could include additional sidewalks, street furniture, better lighting and a fitness trail, he said. The council has been discussing plans for this sort of project for “quite a while,” he added. He said he remembered putting money into the project in 2009.

Larry Bleau, a Hollywood resident, has lived in the area for 24 years. Bleau said the “street lighting needs to be improved,” as well as “pedestrian access.”

The city has already hired a l a n d sca p e a rc h i te c t to by

design a plan to utilize this public area, Wojahn said.

The community has also provided input, and the city is working to finalize a design firm — which can hopefully finish the plans by the middle of next year, he added.

Although it is difficult to say exactly how much the project will cost and when it will be completed, Kabir said he estimates it could fall between $1.4 and $1.8 million and be finished within the next three years.

“We have been struggling with this area for quite some time … and we’ve been thinking about how we can revitalize it,” Kabir said. “We need to make the place … more attractive. … We don’t really have control over the private properties, but we do have a responsibility to make the public space more attractive so the business owners will change.”

Bleau also said he can see these improvements transforming the public area into a “gathering space,” but also warned about potential downsides.

“But you also have to watch out for drawbacks like loitering there,” he said.

The city is applying for grant funds, state bonds and other sources to “minimize the [project’s] burden on College Park tax payers,” Wojahn said.

Despite the project’s potential cost, Wojahn said he believes this project is worth the public’s investment.

“I think having a commercial area in North College Park that we can be proud of [and] that reflects what the city and residents want to see [is] important,” he said. ckemplerdbk@gmail.com

Four zelkova trees, which were planted along Wichita Avenue 17 years ago, bring noise and cause sewer line interference to homes in the Hollywood neighborhood. The College Park City Council voted unanimously to remove the trees, after receiving a proposal that expressed residents’ concerns. Ryan Eskalis/for thediamondback

City Council votes to uproot trees over resident concerns Trees bring noise, sewer line damage in Hollywood by

The

Alex Carolan College @alexhcarolan Park City Staff writer Council unanimously voted Tuesday to remove trees that residents said led to excessive noise and sewer line interference on Wichita Avenue.

The city planted the trees without resident approval in 1999, acco rd i n g to co u n c i l records. But the council rejected a 2013 proposal to remove the trees because of opposition

from the city’s Tree and Landscape Board, according to a Sept. 6, 2016 mayoral update.

“I think the city made a mistake in this situation [17] years ago when we planted those trees, and that we failed to consult with the residents to see if that was what they really wanted,” Wojahn said.

Residents told the council that the tree species, Zelkova, is the issue, District 3 Councilwoman Stephanie Stullich said. There are only four Zelkova trees planted in College Park, Stullich said, all of which are located on Wichita Avenue.

“I don’t like removing healthy street trees; I think trees add a lot,” Stullich said.

“Street trees add a lot to our community, not only in terms of beauty, but providing shade and providing a habitat for wildlife.”

Stullich added an amendment to Tuesday’s proposal to remove the trees — including 24 resident signatures supporting it — that calls for the city to not replace the trees once they are removed.

The trees will be disposed of because moving such a large tree and keeping it alive is expensive, Stullich said.

“I’m just not convinced that the species is the problem,” Stullich said. “I think that if we plant new trees, and they continue growing, 15 years later, it may be a different situation.”

Residents said the tree roots clogged pipes and had birds living in them that made too much noise, Stullich said.

Tina McCloud, a College Park resident who has lived on Wichita Avenue for more than 20 years, said roots from the city-planted trees

grew into her neighbor’s water pipes.

“She had to … dig it all out and excavate it, and she had to pay the price,” McCloud said. The city should “either maintain it, or don’t plant it,” she said.

“College Park is a tree city, [and] I think that’s a good thing. … We’ve affirmed our intention to have diverse trees throughout the community,” Stullich said. “And we certainly work toward that by planting trees regularly.” The city plants hundreds of new trees every year, she said.

I n t h e f u t u re , Wo ja h n said the city should be more careful to make sure that residents have more input when the city plants trees in front of their properties. acarolandbk@gmail.com

Too Much Noise The Diamondback’s Lillian Andemicael examines how the search for music has become so convoluted.

@DBKDiversions

essay | r.i.p. aux

gone too soon The aux cord has died. May it rest in peace.

On Sept. 7, Taylor Stokes 2016, tragedy @taylormstokes s t r u c k t h e nation. The aux For The DBK cord, guardian and friend of music lovers everywhere, passed away.

He was too young.

Although the cause of death has yet to be determined, police haven’t ruled out the possibility of foul play. Hours before the cord was found, Philip Schiller, senior vice president of Apple, unveiled the iPhone 7 to the public. While the iPhone 7 is supposedly the

most technologically adva n c e d i P h o n e to d a te , there’s one crucial element missing — the aux cord’s partner in crime, the headphone jack.

“The reason to move on … really comes down to one word: courage,” said Schiller. “Courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us.”

How can he possibly expect us to move on? Since the beginning, the aux cord strived to make this world a better place for people to live in. He was there through en-

by

ergetic sing-along car rides, unforgettable moments of new music discovery and countless hours of questionable remixes at local frats.

He was present at bad times as well, remaining dedicated when violent acts of road rage hit and when tears threatened to fall after a bad breakup.

Despite the world’s incredible loss, Apple supporters are already trying to appease mourners with talk about “lightning adapters” and “AirPods.” To those people, I kindly ask you to

let us mourn in peace. Now instead of a buying a knockoff pair of headphones from the local drugstore, customers are going to have to drop $159 on AirPods — technology that’s not only unbelievably uncomfortable, but also runs a high risk of getting lost within the first week of purchase. And if a customer decides to opt out of the AirPods, they’ll have to use a clunky adapter.

The whole process defeats the purpose of Apple’s aim to make life simpler.

Try as I might to deny it, the aux cord’s death will not

be avenged. Despite public complaints, Apple already predicts that they’ll have an opening weekend sellout.

Ultimately, consumers will s t i l l go o u t a n d b uy t h e newest iPhone, no matter the inherent flaw that comes along with it. They will do anything to keep up with technology, yet in doing so will forget the whole reason why the iPod, and subsequently the iPhone, was created in the first place — to provide an easy, uncomplicated way to portably listen to music.

Try as they might to forget about him, the aux cord’s death will almost certainly rock the playlists of future generations to come. People will try to tear him down, say those who believe in him are ancient and stuck in the past.

Don’t listen. Those who truly felt the unadulterated joy brought on by the aux cord know how special he was, and aren’t likely to forget him anytime soon.

Rest in peace, aux cord.

You will be missed. diversionsdbk@gmail.com

WOMEN From p. 1 archivists Anne Turkos and Amanda Hawk worked on a two-part exhibit to detail the achievements and roadblocks endured by the group of pioneering women that attended this university from the 1910s to late 1930s .

“I want (students) to know that it’s an important anniversary,” Turkos said. “A lot of people don’t realize at what point in our history women came here. I don’t think a lot of students know the early history or that the fact we were all-male for 60 years, basically, from the charter date.”

restrictions and rebels This university’s acceptance of women didn’t signal a halcyon period of gender equality.

Nowhere in the exhibit is this better illustrated than a brochure from the 1920s titled “The Girls of Maryland.” The document states that all classes are open to women at this university — with an important caveat.

This university “is laying stress on the development of work in home economics because it feels that is the particular field in which it can do the most for the future of womanhood in the state,” it reads. “ … The home is the social and economic unit of the nation.

Women are the home-makers. It, therefore, follows that women should prepare themselves to make and maintain efficient homes.”

Women at this university also often faced restrictive rules regarding their behavior. But that didn’t stop Vivian Simpson, a vocal rebel admitted in 1921, who detested the double standards set for men and women on the campus.

Women were prohibited from

smoking in their dorms, but men were not. Men could keep their lights on as long as they wished, but women had to turn them off by 10:30 p.m. Women had a 7:30 p.m. curfew during most weekdays and a 10:30 one on weekends, but men did not.

So Simpson refused to turn her lights off until late at night.

She supported other women who smoked in the dorms. She greeted “gentleman callers” in her kimono.

This led to then-University President Albert Woods barring her from returning for her junior year. Simpson filed a suit asking for her readmission, but those efforts failed as the Maryland Court of Appeals upheld her expulsion.

Simpson finished her studies at George Washington University. She went on to become the first female president of the Montgomery County Bar Association and the first female Secretary of State for Maryland.

“I think she would have been an alum that we should have held on to,” Turkos said. “But she broke a lot of rules and they weren’t going to have any truck with that.”

perserverance and progress There were just more than 90 women enrolled at this university when Adele H. Stamp accepted the position as the institution’s first dean of women in 1922. Despite the challenges that group of women faced, they found success in various aspects of campus life in the past and would more easily flourish under the guiding force of Stamp.

A steely advocate for women, Stamp ushered in a slew of programs aimed at uplifting women at this university. She founded the annual May Day celebration in 1923, an event where junior women would nominate a

senior to be the “May Queen,” and also started this university’s Women’s Senior Honor Society, which later became this university’s Mortar Board chapter, which sought the most academically successful female students.

Those steps would later culminate in a greater academic diversity among women, with Evelyn Barstow Harrison becoming the first woman to graduate with a degree in engineering, a field that remains overwhelmingly male to this day, in 1932.

Harrison’s refusal to be pigeonholed into a “woman’s major” at this university can be traced back to Hook, who bucked that trend by graduating with a degree in entomology, the study of insects. Hook proved no major was out of reach. A 1920 picture in the first-floor exhibit depicts women working alongside their male counterparts in a laboratory shows the students who came after her took note.

Women began to jump into athletics, too. In 1919, female students created an athletic association and began to plan games for sports like soccer, dodgeball and basketball.

But while most of the women’s sports teams were resigned to compete inter-class, this university’s all-women rifling team faced off against groups from other colleges by 1924. Team members would shoot at a target in the attic of the Skinner Building and telegraph the results to the competing team miles away because they were not allowed to travel.

The rifling team won two national championships as a group, and two members earned individual national championship titles as well, Hawk said.

“I don’t think any of the other teams at that point were really competing against other schools,” Hawk said. “It’s really interesting, and not something

The university was still far from perfect, but it took some much needed steps — enough so that, when all the graduating women of the class of 1929 posed for a photograph together, they nearly matched the number of the students in the class of 1920 picture of all men and one lonely female.

unfinished and unwritten Ellin K. Scholnick, the chairwoman of the President’s Commission on Women’s Issues and faculty ombuds officer, joined the psychology department as an assistant professor in 1967 and found herself vastly outnumbered by men.

“When I came into my department, I was a rarity,” Scholnick said. “There were three women in the department of psychology, and only one was tenured. When I became tenured, I think I was number four in all of BSOS. I was the token woman on many committees, and that’s not a very pleasant position to be in.”

How are things today? Better,

but still skewed.

A fall 2015 summary of salaried employees at this university from the Office of Institutional Research, Planning & Assessment shows near-parity in some positions that dissipates farther up the ladder.

Forty-seven and 48 percent of instructors/lecturers and assistant professors are women, respectively, according to the data. But women only make up 38 percent of associate professors and 24 percent of professors, suggesting the higher level the job, the more likely it is to be given to a man over a woman.

That gender inequity is also seen in the difference in crowd sizes between men’s and women’s sports. Despite posting a 371-108 record and winning the 2006 NCAA tournament under the tenure of coach Brenda Frese, the women’s basketball team — recognized as an official varsity sport in 1971 — can never quite seem to generate the same fan energy as the men’s team.

Frese said the university itself offers a great deal of support that enables the success of her team, which will represent

the U.S. in the 2017 University Games in Taiwan. But she doubts that women’s basketball can ever be viewed in the same light as the men’s game.

“It’s never going to be equal to men’s basketball and football,” Frese said. “But for us to be a national power, you have to have a lot of support.”

Elected Student Government Association president last spring, Katherine Swanson said she hopes to advocate for improving the status of women’s health on the campus by pushing for a women’s center in this university’s health center and free tampons in university bathrooms.

But the importance of her presidency during this year is not lost on Swanson, who said she made a concerted effort to ensure her SGA cabinet was “woman-strong to have a lot of woman-power in it.”

“It’s interesting that this is coinciding — that we have a woman SGA president and this anniversary,” she said. “It shows how far we’ve come, but we still have a long way to go.” newsumdbk@gmail.com

As streaming world grows, listeners lose Exclusive releases have made getting your hands on the hottest music a confusing, annoying process The importance of finding Lillian new and innoAndemicael @LAndemicael vative ways to remain current For The DBK is a quality of the music industry that has transcended time and cultural shifts.

However, as the competition between streaming services grows more cut-throat, it’s the listeners, not the artists, who are forced to choose between companies such as Tidal and Apple Music in order to keep up with the newest releases from the hottest artists. This is how we consume music in 2016 — in a complex, confusing world full of choices.

The music industry is mutating every day, and artists must rely on album release exclusivity in order to maintain the delicate balance between anticipation and intrigue crucial to relevancy in today’s industry. Despite the infinite amount of music available to stream for free online on sites such as SoundCloud (which now offers a subscription plan), Spotify, YouTube and DatPiff, subscribing to at least one of these services has become crucial for fans to enjoy new releases in a timely manner and for artists to broadcast their sound to as many audiences as possible.

Most major albums released exclusively — despite promotion indicating otherwise — become available to other services within a few weeks of their initial release. Drake’s VIEWS, originally an Apple Music exclusive, became available on Spotify after two weeks. Lasting an even shorter period as a Tidal exclusive, Beyonce’s Lemonade was released to Apple Music by

only 24 hours after its release.

Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo, an album he said would only ever be available on Tidal, was made available to Google Play, Spotify and Apple Music 47 days after its initial release.

Though mainstream artists may rely on exclusive releases to maximize revenue, up and coming rappers build their fanbase and hype surrounding studio releases through the release of free mixtapes, spawning singles that artists can receive a sufficient amount of royalties from if enough exposure is gained. Yet, surprise music releases have become the newest trend in garnering publicity since the success of Beyonce’s 2013 self-titled album.

In the past, preparing for an album release was treated as an event in itself. Intriguing the public meant creating a sense of elaborateness and creativity.

In his sixth studio album, Kanye West promoted Yeezus by cryptically announcing its release date a month prior on social media and at one point utilizing the presence of 66 buildings to project the video of “New Slaves” in various locations around the world. However, The Life of Pablo capitalized on this newly established culture of surprise album drops. West failed to release his album on its announced Feb. 11 release date, instead making the public wait as he toyed with album titles online and continued to enjoy the publicity of his “tweef” with Wiz Khalifa.

Mainstream singers have realized that giving their listeners a preview of the album by releasing singles for free for streaming is actually better for

album sales, especially after a premature leak. The success of Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, initially planned as a free mixtape, was a result of the rapper’s release of singles for free streaming on OVO Sound’s SoundCloud page.

The demand for rapid production and easy accessibility of music is changing the landscape and consumption of the music industry. Rihanna’s Anti, an exclusive to Tidal for its first week, became available for free download, allowing several singles to gain popularity. Chance the Rapper made headlines this year by ensuring his third mixtape, Coloring Book, was available exclusively for streaming on Apple Music and two weeks later made it available everywhere. After the mixtape’s massive success and staunch petitioning from his fans, The Recording Academy rewrote the rules for an album eligibility to include music limited to streaming services.

Paid streaming is now driving the music industry’s revenue.

As digital album sales drop each year, on-demand streaming services grow. Macbooks today are produced with less available storage than in the past — a symptom of a culture shifting away from downloads and more toward a digital revolution that relies on streams and storage backups. Music listeners are slowly losing the ability to own their music, but this comes at a trade-off to being exposed to millions of songs and the ability to connect audiences closer to all their favorite artists than ever before. diversionsdbk@gmail.com

U.N. School for Terrorism

U.N.-sponsored schools for Palestinians—supported by $400 million a year from U.S. taxpayers—teach children to kill Jews and wage holy Islamist war The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) teaches over 500,000 students that Arabs own all of Palestine— and Israel must be destroyed. UNRWA schools also extol the glory of Islamic jihad and suicide martyrdom and have served as launch pads for Hamas missiles. Moreover, UNRWA perpetuates a welfare state for five million faux “refugees.”

T h e a d d e d p hys i ca l i ty Hannigan @JamesCrabtreeH Me h a rg ’s 2 9 years with the Staff writer program, she’s had to adjust her coaching techniques to keep pace with the sport’s advancements.

Since the 2012 Olympics i n L o n d o n , Me h a rg s a i d the game has emphasized running and fitness.

One way the coach has h e l p e d h e r tea m t ra n s i tion to the style is by having players wear GPS devices called Player Monitoring Systems. The sports performance brand VX Sport makes the technology to report the player’s heart rate, their distance traveled and the amount of time spent accelerating and decelerating.

The Terps used them in a limited fashion last year but have made the system a priority this season as Meharg aims for her team to play fast.

“You can go with a robust

While wide backs sprint up and down the sideline throughout matches, center backs

Meharg said rule changes, such as the addition of unlimited substitutions and the elimination of offside penalties, have changed the dynamic of the sport.

In previous seasons, the Terps would often rotate between their top 12 players during important matchups. Now, the team feels comfortable cycling through at least 15 or 16 players a contest.

That tweak came from wanting to keep up with the rising tempo of the game.

“If other teams start to develop a running game and they’re substituting lots of players, [and] if you have the same people on the field, they’re not going to be as fresh,” Meharg said. “So you have to develop runners.”

The changes make the game more exciting for fans, Meharg said, and also for players and coaches. The increased playing time for reserves helps keep the bench involved and

of the sport adds a burden, too. Players are expected to perform at a higher, faster level, and coaches have to learn how hard they can push.

That’s why the GPS devices, which the Maryland men’s soccer team has also used, have been beneficial tools.

“I feel like last year, we just wore them, and then they didn’t really look at the data,” forward Emma Rissinger said. “We actually do stuff with it this year.”

In 2015, the team used the device only in training sessions.

This year, in addition to practices and training, the Terps wear it during games. The staff uses the data to help determine factors ranging from on-field substitutions to post-game debriefs. “[Strength coach M ike Szemborski] watches the heart rates during the game, so if they see that it’s really high, they’ll pull you out,” Rissinger said.

The information also dictates planning and review in practices.

“If it’s a day where they’re all kind of blowing out on you,” Meharg said, “then you’re not going to practice really long.”

T h e coa c h e s wa n t to e n s u re t h ey a re p u s h i n g their players without hurting them, and the device helps them find the balance. The data can also show if a player

wasn’t giving full effort.

“Sometimes they [see data] and go ‘Oh, I guess I could run harder,’” Meharg said. “It really gets to your character.”

On game days, the data help the team make decisions to keep the players as rested as possible. In a time when, from Meharg’s perspective, fitness is more important than it’s ever been, the tech-

nology has become a crucial part of the team’s success.

“It’s interesting to actually quantify how we feel on the field,” defender Delaney Leathers said. “It’s good to get the most out of everyone on the field … Now you’re able to perform at your max rate for however long you’re in.”

remain closer to their team’s goal to stop the foe on a potential quick turn of possession.

Since Crognale can’t always be in the box in the run of play, Cirovski makes the senior a weapon on the Terps’ set pieces.

His 6-foot-5, 201-pound frame poses a threat in the box and allows him to hold his ground and jump over defenders.

These skills were on display Friday. Off a free kick from goalkeeper Cody Niedermeier, defender Donovan Pines headed the ball into the box.

Crognale positioned himself in front of Indiana defender Andrew Gutman and kicked the ball into the back of the net.

“It goes right back to his confidence,” Niedermeier said. “Whether the ball is 50 yards away or right at his feet, he knows what to do and he’s going to go out and do it.

Having [Crognale] back there is a huge boost for us offensively and defensively. As you see in set pieces, he’s a monster. It’s nice to have. It relates to him having great feet.”

Cirovski said he’s challenged Crognale to improve his heading just as he did with defender Omar Gonzalez, who won a national championship with Maryland in 2008 and now plays for the U.S. Men’s National Team.

The veteran coach said Crognale was one of the Terps’ hardest workers this summer, practicing scoring off set pieces. While Crognale scored one goal his first two seasons combined, he’s scored six times since.

His efforts paid off in Maryland’s 1-1 draw with UCLA on

Aug. 26. Off a set piece, midfielder Cody Albrecht sent the ball into the box. The ball bounced off Bruins goalkeeper Juan Cervantes, and Crognale headed the loose ball into goal.

“He can play that ball as an outside back or he can play a 60-yard ball to our left back sprinting down the sideline,” Niedermeier said. “He keeps the team on their toes because they have no idea where he can put the ball. It’s really a boost when we can get different lines and challenge them.”

Crognale has started since his freshman year as a defensive anchor, and his scoring savvy has returned. Cirovski said that’ll be crucial as the Terps aim to contend for a national championship.

“He’s an important target in set pieces, and he’s very good in the air,” Cirovski said. “Not only on the defensive side, but on the attacking side. I expect him to score several more goals this year.”

moore From p. 12 While Jacobs has fallen out of the wide receiver rotation this season — the redshirt senior has yet to catch a ball — Moore has buckled down to elevate his production.

Just ask his teammates and coaches.

Coach DJ Durkin referenced Moore’s work ethic on a conference call Monday, and tight end Derrick Hayward spoke about it a day later. Yesterday, it was quarterback Perry Hills’ turn to point out Moore’s determination, whether it’s at practice, watching film or studying the playbook.

During Wednesday’s media availability session, Moore admitted he doesn’t like to talk, but he follows Durkin and his staff’s instructions.

“There’s not a better kid that I’ve coached,” Bell said. “Whatever limitations he has physically, he’s more than willing to make up for it with how hard he works and how he studies the game itself.”

Durkin referred to the softspoken Moore as a “complete player,” noting his ability to block, make big plays and gain yards after the catch.

That versatility was on full display Friday against FIU, as Moore helped relieve the pressure on Hills and Maryland’s running game in the blowout victory.

With the Terps leading, 17-7, midway through the second quarter, all Hills had to

Using a quick release off the line of scrimmage — something Hill said Moore has improved on this year — Moore blew past the Panthers cornerback, who watched as the 5-foot-11 sophomore reeled in the 45-yard score.

“With me, I don’t allow much separation,” Hills said of facing Moore in practice.

“But if [Moore] can get, like, a little separation on guys, I know it’s over for them.”

Late in the third quarter, Hills, who struggled with ball security last season, didn’t need to force a tough throw for his third touchdown pass of the day.

He dumped the ball down, and Moore did the rest.

A Panthers defender was in solid position to stop Moore for a short gain, but Moore made him look silly by taking one hop to the inside before darting toward the right sideline. The defender shuffled with Moore, but as he turned to pursue him outside, a Terps player took him out of the play with a block.

Moore ran the rest of the 40-yard dash, untouched.

It won’t be as easy for Moore to replicate his first two games worth of production through the Terps’ conference slate.

The competition will stiffen (see: Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State) and opposing teams will start to key on him.

By focusing on Moore, h o w e v e r, d e f e n s e s w i l l divert attention away from someone else, whether it be Hayward, wide receiver DeAndre Lane or one of the five running backs who’ve carried the ball so far.

Moore won’t say it, or much of anything for that matter, but he’s the Terps’ No. 1 guy.

H is impact, if it hasn’t already, will be heard around the Big Ten very soon.

“With the work he put in,” Hayward said, “I don’t think there’s any reason that any team should stop him.” kstackpoledbk@gmail.com

After learning about Hill’s new activity, quarterback Perry Hills broke into a smile Wednesday afternoon and noted his interest in watching. After all, he and defensive lineman Roman Braglio took an interpretive dance class as sophomores.

Forwards Chelsea Jackson and Jarena Harmon have helped the offense score 14 times over the Terps’ first eight games. reid poluhovich/the diamondback

Harmon, Jackson spark scoring Two transfers have added production, chemistry in attacking third Before Scott Gelman forward @Gelman_Scott Jarena Harmon Staff writer decided at the end of June to transfer to the Maryland women’s soccer team, she reviewed the biographies and statistics of her potential teammates.

Harmon, who spent her freshman season at Pittsburgh, learned forward Chelsea Jackson recorded 21 shots and appeared in 17 games with Oklahoma in 2015, and she knew Jackson, also a transfer addition this season, was motivated to help rebuild the program under firstyear coach Ray Leone.

Harmon figured the two would complement one another, and through the Terps’ first eight games of the season, she’s been right. The duo has combined for 11 scores to lead the team’s production and energy.

“They told me that she is someone who by

wants to win and who will do pretty much anything to win,” Harmon said. “I was like, ‘That’s perfect, same mentality.’ I just knew we had to be building something special.”

When Harmon and Jackson took the field together for the first time during a late summer practice, Leone said the pair could have success in the Big Ten. For a team featuring 14 new players, Leone felt the two transfer players could provide a burst.

“We decided we needed to step up and bring something new to this team,” Jackson said. “Jarena brings a spark, and I’m more of a connector. So if I can find her or if she can find me, we can work really well together and create goals like that.”

During one of the team’s final preseason practices, the Terps played a game.

The players split into teams, and each had to either pass the ball or take a shot depending on their field position. When it came time for Harmon and Jackson to connect, they had little trouble.

They recorded four or five consecutive goals and defeated everyone on the opposing team.

“ T h e y we re e a sy ta p ins, like effortless tap-ins,” Harmon said. “That was just a magical moment.

[I thought], ‘We could do this in games. This is very possible.’”

Through Maryland’s first eight contests, Harmon and Jackson have anchored the offense. The unit has scored 14 times over its first eight games, the most the Terps have tallied in that span since 2013.

Harmon paces the Terps with six goals, which ranks 28th in the country. Jackson has added five.

“They’re so different, and I think that’s what makes it work,” Leone said. “It’s taken a long time for them to figure each other out, but you could see it coming. Every day, I see it getting better and better.”

Harmon said she and Jackson didn’t start to “really click” until the stretch of practices entering Maryland’s match against No. 25 Pepperdine on Sept. 2, the Terps’ first look against a ranked opponent this season.

Though they didn’t finish the shots, Harmon and Jackson felt their chemistry grow on the field as they c o m m u n i c a te d we l l a n d

moved across the field in defensive situations.

Although the two didn’t connect against the Wave or in ensuing matchups against Appalachian State and Navy, Jackson sent the ball in Harmon’s direction during the 71st minute of Maryland’s 5-2 loss to George Mason on Sunday.

With the Terps trailing by three, Harmon recorded the team’s first goal.

“It was a big goal, bringing us back into the game,” Jackson said. “It’s a very difficult goal for us to score, so for us to connect on that play and realize that we can kind of do it together helped a lot.”

As Maryland breaks the huddle before every game, assistant coach Yewande Balogun yells, “Here we go Terps!”

Then, Harmon screams.

And when she and Jackson make a play on the field, she reflects back on her decision to join the Terps and Leone’s confidence in their potential.

“I was excited,” Harmon said. “[Jackson is] fast, technical, skilled and, on top of that, mentally in the game pretty much 100 percent of the time.” sgelmandbk@gmail.com

Lions running back Barry Sanders was featured in the YouTube video he watched.

Hill’s looking for a way to elevate his play in his first year as a starting cornerback. He’s a veteran in a secondary, where several new players have rotated through the backfield during the Terps’ two blowout victories.

“When we do put younger guys in, we put an older guy with him,” defensive coordinator Andy Buh said. “Just to kind of balance out their knowledge, and kind of calm them down a little bit.”

That leadership doesn’t e x c l u d e H i l l f ro m s o m e ribbing, however. He said his teammates already “clown me about everything.”

“Just putting ballet on that repertoire,” Hill said. “They don’t mind. They just clown me about that, too.”

H is 19-year-old sister, who competes in track and field, was also skeptical, but his mom wasn’t surprised.

“She’s just like, ‘That’s my Alvin,’” Hill said. “She’s used maryland football cornerback to me doing things out of the burgh Steelers wide receiver ordinary to get somewhere.”

Hill said that’s his logic for adding the class to his schedule.

He pointed out former Pitts-

They never seen a football guy walk in there, but I’ve got some balance, though. So it’s cool. I mean, I take it serious.

You’ve got to respect that.

Safety T.J. Mutcherson Against the Wolverines, the former Iowa State transfer recorded five tackles — three of which were for a loss — and one sack. During his weekly press conference on Wednesday afternoon, offensive coordinator Walt Bell complimented Mutcherson’s performance and said the Knights will present the Terps’ most physical test so far.

Safety Darnell Savage

Running back Dontravious Wilson

As a sophomore starter among seniors Will Likely, Denzel Conyers and Alvin Hill in the secondary, Savage has emerged as a solid contributor, finishing tied for second on the team with six tackles against Florida International. Last week, Central Florida’s offense finished with less than 100 passing yards, and Savage and the Terps defensive backfield will look to prolong the Knights’ shortcomings.

The 5-foot-10, 210-pound senior helped pace the Knights offense in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as he rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Midway through the third quarter, Wilson rattled off a 34-yard score, which is the type of standout play defensive coordinator Andy Buh said his unit has focused on eliminating entering Saturday’s matchup.

ON THE RECORD “The stat that most directly correlates to wins and losses in football, probably at any level, I know for sure in college football, is the turnover margin, so we’ve preached a bunch about getting it out on defense and protecting the ball on offense.”

As Maryland’s offense faces the Central Florida defense that held No. 4 Michigan to 119 rushing yards and collected two sacks last weekend, the Terps will rely on Dunn to set the tone at the line of scrimmage. The redshirt senior, who has developed into a quiet leader while protecting quarterback Perry Hills’ blind side, has served as a stalwart up front.

Crognale provides scoring threat from Terps backline Senior center back ranks second on team in goals through six games Maryland men’s soccer defender Alex Crognale had a knack for scoring goals growing up.

Until he was 16 years old, Crognale played forward. That’s when his Columbus Crew SC Academy coach suggested he move to the backline, and Crognale thrived as a center back.

Yet Crognale has still utilized his skills as a striker with the Terps. Last season, Crognale scored four goals, and through six games, he’s already scored twice, the second most on the team. by

Kyle Melnick @kyle_melnick Senior staff writer

Crognale flourished on both ends of the field Friday in the No. 4 Terps’ 1-1 draw with No. 3 Indiana, scoring the equalizing goal in the 87th minute.

As Maryland enters the bulk of its Big Ten schedule, coach Sasho Cirovski plans to continue to use Crognale as an offensive threat.

“I put myself in the box any chance I get,” Crognale said. “I’m there for all of our set pieces, all our free kicks, everything like that. I’ve taken that responsibility on to be that guy when we’re in games and we’re struggling to find the back of the net through the run of play, and

to get a goal on a set piece can be huge for the team. That’s something that I’ve been working on a lot.”

When Crognale, a Gahanna, Ohio, native tried out for Columbus Crew SC Academy U16 team, the coach, Billy Thompson, pulled him aside.

Thompson told Crognale he could be a great center back. At first, Crognale didn’t believe it, but after trying the position, he fell in love with the role.

Crognale said Thompson and another Crew coach, Frank Speth, were instrumental in his transition See crognale, p. 9

By Callie Caplan | @CallieCaplan | Senior staff writer

lvin Hill’s ballet career started with a suggestion from his uncle.

As the Maryland football defensive back recovered from a knee injury he suffered in 2014, he focused on flexibility training to maintain his fitness.

Last spring, Hill took a yoga course.

Then, after a Terps coach sent him a video about NFL players’ dance training, his uncle confirmed its benefits.

Hill learned his yoga teacher also offered a ballet class in the fall, so he signed up.

Tuesday, Hill took the practice field and “felt like [he] was floating.”

That morning, the first-year starting cornerback had finished a 50-minute ballet session. His instructor complimented Hill’s play against Florida International over the weekend, and his classmates continued to marvel at the 6-foot, 200-pound redshirt senior dressed in leggings, a Maryland t-shirt

and dance shoes.

“They never seen a football guy walk in there, but I’ve got some balance, though,” Hill said. “So, it’s cool. I mean, I take it serious. You’ve got to respect that.”

Tuesdays are Hill’s toughest days.

They’re often the Terps’ most demanding practice of the week, and that’s when Hill takes the two-credit ballet class at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. The precision and move-

ment in the dancing, he said, feels like an extra conditioning session.

The class started with learning first and second positions, techniques and positioning — skills Hill hopes translate into explosiveness, fluidity and injury prevention on game days when he laces up his cleats.

In class though, he wears a pair of shoes he bought at the beginning of the semester when he made a trip to a local dance boutique.

Moore emerges as No. 1 wide receiver Soft-spoken sophomore has been Perry Hills’ top target so far Kyle Stackpole @kylefstackpole Football columnist

Six receptions, 147 yards and two touchdowns.

While no Maryland football wide receiver recorded more than 425 yards and three scores last season, sophomore D.J. Moore put up the stat line above in the Terps’ 41-14 win over Florida International on Friday night. Through two games, Moore’s 184 receiving yards are more than half of his production from 2015.

After no wideout separated himself from Maryland’s unit during last season’s 3-9 campaign, Moore has emerged as the Terps’ clear No. 1 option in offensive coordinator Walt Bell’s up-tempo attack.

Moore won’t put up career-best numbers — like he did against FIU — every game, but quarterback Perry Hills has a sure-handed outlet who will continue to produce at a high level throughout the season.

“Y’all are in for a rude awakening,”

defensive back Alvin Hill said. “He’s going to be like a big-time guy this season.”

Moore didn’t make much of an impact during his first four games as a rookie, all of which came against nonconference foes. But the former four-star recruit from Philadelphia emerged as a top option in Big Ten play, along with wide receiver Levern Jacobs.
