‘LET The rivalry begin’ Edsall says first win at Penn State is bound to boost program

By Daniel Popper @danielrpopper Senior staff writer

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — In February 2012, Stefon Diggs stood onstage at Looney’s Pub between his mother and little brother and announced to a packed house that he would be playing football at this university, his hometown school.

In the process, the Gaithersburg native spurned two national powerhouses in Ohio State and Florida. It was an unorthodox decision considering many of the best players from this state, including several whom Diggs played

against and alongside while at Good Counsel High School, left to join more marquee programs than the Terrapins football team.

On Saturday against Penn State at Beaver Stadium, Diggs was reunited with a number of those players who departed from this state to play for the Nittany Lions. And in the first meeting between the teams in more than 20 years, the Terps earned a 20-19 victory behind kicker Brad Craddock’s 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds remaining in regulation.

It was the Terps’ fi rst victory at Penn State and second overall since the series started in 1917.

The race between Democrat Anthony Brown and Republican Larry Hogan has been closer than many expected in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.

Two highly regarded political predictors recently came out with different forecasts for the election.

The Cook Political Report labeled the race a “toss up,” while Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight said Brown was the strong favorite. A poll released last month by The Washington Post and this university put Brown ahead by 9 percentage points.

Because of the race’s closeness, several national political figures

have visited the state in recent weeks to rally voters. President Obama and Hillary Clinton have come to stump for Brown, and Michelle Obama is scheduled to rally for Brown in Baltimore today. Hogan received his fourth visit from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie yesterday.

Early voting allowed registered voters to cast their ballots between Oct. 23 and Tuesday. Of these early voters, 4,057 people cast their votes at the College Park Community Center. About 8.5 percent of those registered in Prince George’s County voted early, just more than the state’s turnout of 8.3 percent. Democrats made up 61 percent of early voters, while just 28 percent were Republicans. Party affi liation indicates the party voters are registered with, not the candidate they selected.

A patrol officer a nd med ica l personnel responded to the area at about 9:40 a.m. after receiving a call for an unresponsive man, according to a department blog post. The responders transported the man to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

During the preliminary investigation, detectives found no sign of foul play. They believe alcohol was a factor in the death.

Comedian promotes new movie on campus

By Michael Errigo @DBKdiversions Senior staff writer The line of students seemed never-ending Saturday night. It flowed out the front of Cole Field House and down through Union Lane. It snaked around the back of Stamp Student Union and past Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium, its tail nearly reaching the east end of Byrd Stadium.

Of f icia l ly, 5 ,000 students bought tickets for Kevin Hart’s comedy show Saturday at Cole — a nice, round maximum number t hat Student E nter ta i n ment Events reached in about half a day. But by 6:30 p.m., that number meant nothing to students waiting anxiously in line — hunched over in the face of a brisk breeze — as the only thing on t he i r m i n d s wa s le n g t h .

ANTHONY BROWN

LARRY HOGAN

GOVERNOR’S

RACE

• Owner of land and real estate company in Anne Arundel County • Served as state cabinet secretary under former Gov. Robert Ehrlich • Founded Change Maryland, political advocacy group focused on fiscal restraint

GUIDE Here’s how the candidates stack up when it comes to this season’s big policy issues.

THE ISSUES

• First-generation American — his father left Jamaica • Graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1984 and Harvard Law School in 1992 • Prince George’s County delegate, 1999-2007 • Served 10-month tour in Iraq, 2004 • House of Delegates majority whip, 2004-2007 • Lieutenant governor, 2006 to present

Hogan has been attacked throughout his campaign for his involvement in the Ehrlich administration, when tuition rose dramatically. Hogan has said he does not support tuition increases and would work to reduce spending at public universities to take the financial burden off students.

The O’Malley-Brown administration increased tuition by 3 percent annually since 2010, following a four-year tuition freeze. Brown has pledged to continue the 3 percent tuition cap and to not make any additional increases. Brown rallied students at Ritchie Coliseum on Thursday saying, “This is the campaign that will fight to keep college tuition affordable on every college campus.”

Hogan supports the state’s recent decriminalization measures, but he is against legalization for recreational use. Hogan’s spokesperson Adam Dubitsky said: “He doesn’t believe the state should be making it any easier or encouraging people to use mind-altering substances.”

During Brown’s time as lieutenant governor, the state removed criminal punishments for possession of small amounts of marijuana. The state also made medical marijuana available to patients with a doctor’s note. Brown said he does not support full legalization right now but will monitor the situation in Colorado and Washington in order to determine if this state should legalize marijuana.

Hogan opposes the Purple Line, saying the state cannot afford the $2.5 billion cost of the project. He wants to focus on fixing roads and bridges and reducing traffic, which he has called the worst in the nation.

Brown said he wants to move forward with construction of the Purple Line, which would cut through the campus and connect Prince George’s County to Montgomery County. He said he supports mass transit efforts because they will reduce carbon emissions.

Hogan consistently has denied accusations that he would restrict women’s ability to get abortions or access birth control. In a September news release, he said: “My belief is that all women in Maryland should have access to the birth control of their choice.” Hogan’s campaign has run ads featuring his three daughters saying the accusations of Hogan as anti-women are wrong.

Brown said he supports women’s right to have an abortion and access birth control. He publicly opposed the Supreme Court’s decision to allow businesses to restrict their employee’s access to contraceptives after the Hobby Lobby decision. In September, the Maryland National Organization of Women PAC endorsed him.

Hogan’s campaign has focused largely on economic issues, which polls have shown to be most important to this state’s residents. He has said he wants to lower the corporate income tax to create a better smallbusiness climate to keep companies in the state and create more jobs.

Republicans throughout the campaign have criticized the O’Malley administration for repeated tax increases. Brown has defended the O’Malley tax increases but said he will not increase taxes if he is elected. Still, in a Washington Post/university poll, 47 percent of state voters believe Hogan will do a better job handling taxes, while just 36 percent said the same for Brown.

Students may pay different prices for housing based on amenities New rate structure will consider room size, air conditioning access

By Morgan Eichensehr @MEichensehr Staff writer The Department of Resident Life is developing plans for a differentiated housing rate structure, which would allow students living in rooms with differing amenities to pay different housing fees.

This university currently charges four rates for rooms around the campus, and about 72 percent of students pay the base rate of $3,212 per semester, said Mike Glowacki, assistant to the director of Resident Life, but that could change as early as next fall.

Other current rates per semester include $2,730.20 for students to live in triples or quads in traditional dorms; $3,347.50 for single or double rooms in kitchen-equipped ca mpus apa r tments; a nd $2,845.37 for triple rooms in oncampus apartments, according to the Resident Life website.

Differentiated rates would ta ke i nto accou nt more factors, such as the size of the room, access to a private or semi-private bathroom and air conditioning.

“We cou ld qu ite easi ly keep the system the same as it is now,” Glowacki said. “I think when you consider all the factors, that would be a missed opportunity.”

Under t he cu r rent rate structure, Glowacki said the base rate, which is an average, would see a 5 percent increase. By differentiating rates, however, Resident Life calculated that the base rate would only require about a 4.5 percent increase and that 65 percent of students would

Gutin creates Big Ten sustainability group Of 14 conference schools, 11 have chosen representatives for new eco organization

By Marissa Horn @MarissaL_Horn Staff writer While the Terrapins football team worked to ignite its first Big Ten conference rivalry against Penn State this weekend, junior Ori Gutin was connecting with students from fellow universities to form the first Big Ten sustainability committee.

Following this university’s admission to the athletic conference in July, Gutin, director of the Student Government Association’s sustainability committee, began contacting 160 sustainability organizations at all 14 Big Ten schools.

“After a week, we had 40 responses, and we have gotten more than 60 responses since then,” said Gutin, an environmental science and policy major.

Although the Big Ten conference already has a student government assembly — the Association of Big Ten Students — no forum exists for students to discuss sustainability issues, Gutin said.

The committee would also be an unaffiliated subset of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, which

publishes innovative sustainability practices yearly, among other initiatives.

“I was really excited when I found out about this; I was just surprised no one had thought of it,” said Christina Cilento, a sophomore journalism major at Northwestern University.

Of the 14 Big Ten schools, 11 have chosen representatives to participate in the organization.

As a nod to the Big Ten’s traditionally powerful sports programs, early sustainability committee members are fi rst focusing on sustainable initiatives at each school’s athletic department.

The No. 1 greenhouse gas producer in athletic departments is the airplane emissions from student athletes and professors flying to games and conferences, Cilento said.

Instead of just planting trees and using even more renewable energy sources to offset carbon emissions, several Big Ten university sustainability committees are proposing resolutions that include a carbon emission tax. This tax, which Cilento is hoping to implement at Northwestern University, would apply to athletic departments and

A nother susta i nabi l ity goal that all 11 members of the committee would like to push is zero waste production from their athletic stadiums.

To reach zero waste at a stadium, it must divert at least 90 percent of waste from landfi lls, Cilento said.

At this university, the athletic department, Facilities M a n agement a nd D i n i ng Services are cooperating to produce zero waste at all athletic facilities on the campus, starting with Byrd Stadium.

Lacrosse attackman Hart Rambo suspended

By Aaron Kasinitz @AaronKazreports Senior staff writer The Terrapins men’s lacrosse tea m a n nou nced Friday it suspended sophomore attackman Matt Rambo and dismissed student-coach Brian Cooper for their parts in an Oct. 22 incident.

Rambo was charged with first-degree assault, and Cooper, a former defenseman who played long pole as a senior last year and planned on coaching with the team until he earned his degree, was charged with second-degree assault.

“We hold our studentathletes to a high standard, and they are expected to represent our program and university accordingly,” coach John Tillman said in a statement. “We will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation. Because this is an ongoing matter, we will refrain from any further comment at this time.”

Rambo finished second on the team last season with 30 goals and 36 points as a freshman. His court date is set for Nov. 24 in Upper Marlboro. akasinitzdbk@gmail.com

top. So it was a great battle.”

Coach Randy Edsall called the victory the biggest of his four-year tenure in College Park, not only because the Terps had lost 35 of 37 games against Penn State before Saturday, but also because it might provide his program with an upper hand on the recruiting trail.

“The only way you beat teams in recruiting a lot of ti me is you beat them on the fi eld,” Edsall said. “And [when] you beat people on the field, it’s going to help you with recruiting because it makes a statement. It makes a statement to those kids. So I would think this is going to help us big time.”

For the second straight week Saturday, the Terps offense struggled to move the ball effectively. The unit compiled just 33 rushing yards, went 1 of 14 on third down,

lost two fumbles and punted on 11 of its 18 possessions.

T he Terps scored seven points through the fi rst three quarters, but stout play from the defense kept the team in the contest, as Nittany Lions quarterback Christian Hackenberg fi nished 18 of 42 passing for 177 yards.

Ter ps qu a r terback C.J. Brown then led the unit on back-to-back scoring drives to open the fourth quarter — the fi rst ended on a field goal, the second on a touchdown run — to give the Terps a 17-16 lead.

Nittany Lions kicker Sam Ficken drilled a 48-yard field goal with 6:52 left in the game, his fourth successful kick in as many tries on the afternoon, to give Penn State a brief advantage before Craddock’s successful conversion.

“The biggest thing for us is everyone settled down, i n c l u d i n g m y s e l f,” s a i d

Brown, who completed 18 of 38 passes for 161 yards. “I was just excited. And then, definitely, in the second half we were settled down, calm. We were making the right checks, making the right reads. And we were executing.”

I n M ay, Nit t a ny L ion s coach James Franklin said the Terps “don’t have a chance” when it comes to competing for top-level recruits. After all, Penn State is a program steeped i n trad ition w ith a passionate fan base that fills the more than 100,000 seats at Beaver Stadium on a regular basis.

Ensuring pedestrian safety

section most likely occurs because it is the most direct route between the two areas, as compared to walking down to the crosswalk at the corner of Knox Road and Route 1. Jaywalking at this intersection is not new; it is just more easily noticeable after the events of the past year and the new initiatives to prevent jaywalking across Route 1.

OUR VIEW

Jaywalking should continue to be discouraged, and a strategically placed crosswalk on Knox Road could help curb it.

While initiatives have been put in place to curb jaywalking across Route 1, something must be done at the intersection of Knox Road and Sterling Place before any lives are lost there.

Terry Schum, the city’s planning director, suggested installing a crosswalk at the intersection at an April 15 City Council worksession.

Assistant City Manager Bill Gardiner said a crosswalk likely would not be installed until early next year because of funding and safety concerns over a midblock crosswalk.

The city se e ms to be stu ck between a rock and a hard place.

Officials can either hope they remain lucky with an absence of pedestrian safety incidents at the intersection, or they can figure out the financial and engineering details of installing a crosswalk to try to prevent any collisions from occurring. District 3 Councilman Robert Day said that officials have “been lucky” with the lack of accidents at the intersection.

However, residents of the city and students of this university should not rely on luck to keep them safe. Granted, pedestrians would be safer if they crossed Knox Road at the designated crosswalk on Route 1 or the crosswalk adjacent to South Campus Commons and the College Park Towers apartment complex. But if the road to building a crosswalk at the intersection of Sterling Place and Knox Road is a long one, the city could discourage jaywalking even more by having police become a more active presence at this intersection.

D e s p i te t h e ove r wh e l m i n g dangers of jaywalking, pedestrians will continue to do it, prioritizing convenience over safety. To combat this problem, officials must establish crosswalks at needed locations.

always scratch my head when people use the term “women’s issues,” which could literally mean anything. I’m a woman who tends to focus on economic issues, but I have female friends who are interested in the environment, health care or gun control. So shouldn’t these all be considered women’s issues?

Stereotypically, “women’s issues” are those related to birth control or reproductive rights. Though I wish people realized women care a lot about other issues too, some women in the media perpetuate the idea that women should always have birth control on their minds.

Lena Dunham has been making my blood boil recently. The Girls showrunner recently came under fire for describing a sexual encounter she had written about in her book, Not That Kind of Girl, in which she discusses bribing her sister to “kiss her on the lips for five seconds” and prying open her sister’s vagina because her curiosity got the best of her. After she blasted the right wing for critiquing her actions, I realized how concerned I should be that this woman — who might have been more disgusted had a man discussed touching his little sister during his childhood — has a lot of influence when it comes to a woman’s vote.

Officials decreased the speed limit on Route 1, increased the number of speed cameras and their hours of operation and approved building a median fence on a section of Route 1 near several restaurants and bars to prevent pedestrians from jaywalking. The area we’ve referred to as “The Deadliest Stretch” has also become a high-traffic area for police officers to give jaywalkers warnings and citations.

While jaywalking on other streets might seem less daunting than jaywalking across Route 1, it is still a dangerous act that occurs often at another intersection.

At t h e i n te rse c t i o n o f K n ox Road and Sterling Place — the area between College Park Shopping Center, which houses Jason’s Deli and another retail unit that contains a 7-Eleven — has a high amount of foot traffic and car traffic. In particular, there are a number of motorists entering and exiting the shopping centers. The jaywalking at this inter-

MAGGIE CASSIDY

with Planned Parenthood, “Women Are Watching,” has garnered support from celebrities, with stars like Mindy Kaling, Leslie Mann and Sarah Silverman flaunting their “Lena Loves Planned Parenthood” T-shirts.

In a video filmed for Glamour and Planned Parenthood, Dunham claims that “the same way the media traffics in unrealistic images of women that make you feel like your body isn’t good enough or right enough, well, there are politicians who want to control your body another way — by telling you when and how you can seek reproductive health and counsel.”

When I tried to see what she meant by this, I came across a column she wrote for Planned Parenthood, describing how Republican Senate hopeful Cory Gardner is “all about letting your boss tell you what kind of birth control your insurance should cover.” But in a guest column for The Denver Post, Gardner actually argued for legal over-the-counter birth control pills, claiming “getting the politics out of contraception will improve the lives of women all over the country.”

I’m sick of celebrities calling for the government to stop limiting their birth control options but being perfectly fine with the government intervening between an individual and his or her insurance company, telling that insurance company or business what it should be offering in coverage plans.

Dunham, you do not speak for me. I’m sure you don’t speak for

many women across this country.

To assume women belong to a demographic that, by default, should go to the polls on the basis of reproductive issues alone undermines the intellectual diversity and independence of women in this country.

Though celebrities such as Dunham and Silverman have the right to express their political views, don’t believe these women “represent” you. Regardless of your views on abortion or birth control, celebrities assume this is the only issue resting on your plate, and they assume it will predict who you’ll vote for in any race.

I didn’t vote because celebrities wore shirts depicting their love for Planned Parenthood. I didn’t vote because Lil Jon told me to “turn out” while Lena Dunham danced around a room in her undergarments. And I most certainly didn’t vote because Silverman rubbed a napkin against her vagina and auctioned it off in protest of Rick Perry’s campaign to restrict access to abortions.

Whatever your political affiliation, please vote as a representative of yourself — of your own ideas and concerns, whether they are about taxes, student loans or birth control.

When you vote because celebrities told you to feel a certain way, you’re putting your own self-interest and independence at risk.

Hogan is the best choice for Maryland MATT DRAGONETTE

JUNIOR

A

indicators are weak — employment, growth, business and climate — and a person with a business background can send us in the right direction.

He has been vocally against the tax increases state residents have faced, from the sales tax to the rain tax.

Hogan has made government accountability an important part of his campaign and a central focus for his running mate, Boyd Rutherford. Government accountability is especially important after Brown’s oversight of this state’s health care exchange cost taxpayers $288 million.

This state has accomplished tremendous social reform in the past eight years. Many of those issues, such as legalization of same-sex marriage and abolishment of the death penalty, have been decided and will not be changed. Not only has each candidate pledged not to change each result, but both Brown and Hogan are powerless to do so, even if they wanted to. Courts and the General Assembly will protect those rulings. On education, I would like to see more from Hogan, but I think he — or Brown — should delegate any needed reform to experienced education personnel because neither has a background in the field.

A final but important reason I support Hogan is his dedication to earning votes and commitment to being a watchdog for citizens’ interests while in office. In a previous column, I detailed why candidates should earn our votes, and I believe Hogan’s tireless campaigning has maximized every dollar, opportunity and minute reaching out to voters.

His hard work and strategy on the campaign trail indicate he would be a competent leader in Annapolis.

In the watchdog role, Hogan is akin to Democratic Comptroller Peter Franchot, who has proven he will continue to be talented at protecting citizens’ tax dollars. With his management experience, Hogan will work to ensure government operates effectively. He demonstrated in the primaries that he’s more interested in economic solutions than partisan politics. Hogan is a dedicated candidate who has the experience to manage this state’s priorities.

fter months of campaigns, debates and speculation, this state’s gubernatorial election is finally here. It’s an election that, by reasonable logic, should have been decided after the Democratic primary. A state with a 2-to-1 Democratic advantage and only one Republican governor in recent decades could be expected to pick the Democrat, regardless of who that candidate is, right?

Wrong. Residents of this state have proven once again that they are willing to carefully scrutinize each gubernatorial candidate and cast a ballot for a Republican, regardless of their own Democratic or independent status. Republican Larry Hogan led among independents, 49 percent to 39 percent in an Oct. 4-8 poll from The Baltimore Sun. With opponent Anthony Brown winning 71 percent of Democrats, it is clear this state is open to considering both major candidates. The October poll had Brown up 7 percent among likely voters.

It is not just this state’s residents and politicians who know this race is close. Democrats and Republicans across the region are pouring money and star power into an election almost no one thought would be competitive.

While this election was far from perfect, it was not the “dud” my brother and I feared in our Sun column in June. Hogan made this race meaningful to state residents by making it competitive in policy and at the polls. With Election Day on Tuesday, the election is in our hands, so it’s time to pick a candidate.

Hogan is the right candidate to lead this state for the next four years. This state needs economic improvement, tax reform and government accountability, and those are Hogan’s greatest strengths. As a businessman, Hogan knows how to create jobs and how to discern whether policies are beneficial or Matt Dragonette is a junior government threatening to the business envi- and politics major.

The economic politics of the NFL IAN LACY SENIOR

O

of the NFL team owners are conservative Republicans who are actively involved in endorsing Republican candidates in political races all across the country. If these NFL owners are such adamant Republicans, aligning with a group that traditionally endorses the idea of laissez-faire government and individual success, it seems strange that they readily adopt socialist ideals when it suits them.

For owners of teams who apparently support the idea of the free market, they have a funny way of endorsing what the free market entails. For example, the NFL has various antitrust protections that allow it to function the way it does. Antitrust laws are a series of laws developed by the U.S. government to protect consumers from predatory business and to preserve an open-market economy.

Antitrust protection goes against the idea of laissez-faire economics, which would allow a business to monopolize a market and protect it from any competition. In European soccer, each franchise functions independently of the others, which is more in line with the free market ideals that NFL owners appear to champion but disregard in the face of profit.

I love watching football as much as the next guy, but I would like to see some consistency from this country’s economic leaders, particularly the owners of NFL franchises.

n Sunday afternoons, many Americans enjoy watching good old-fashioned American football. While most people are more concerned about their team’s performance on the field, I recently have been more curious about the financial and managerial practices of the National Football League.

Despite all the money associated with the NFL, it is designated as a nonprofit organization. This seems to be a contradiction, considering the NFL has a yearly revenue of more than $9 billion. A majority of this revenue is generated from the NFL’s ability to negotiate the league television deals as a 32-unit business block. Because the NFL is negotiating as a group, $6 billion of the shared profit is divided equally. As such, each team will receive 3.1 percent of the revenue generated by the NFL regardless of whether the team won the Super Bowl or failed to win a game all season.

After learning that the NFL runs in this manner, I began thinking this sounds like a socialist system in which all members involved will benefit as the group benefits as a whole. This stands in stark I a n L a c y i s a se n i o r k i n es i o l contrast to the ideologies of most ogy major. He can be reached at NFL team owners. A large number ilacydbk@gmail.com.

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER

orn today, you are not always what you seem to be, and, like many Scorpio natives, you will learn to take advantage of this fact as you make your way in life. Even as a youngster, you will claim an advantage over others around you as a result. You have a knack for getting close to others, for making them feel comfortable around you, and for fitting in -- even though you may not genuinely feel a kinship with them. Some might say this is merely opportunistic and duplicitous -- and there is something deceptive about it, to be sure. However, what makes the difference is what you do once you are “in” with the “in crowd.” The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

You know how to remain in the background, unseen and unnoticed until the time comes for you to announce yourself.

You do not always feel the need to position yourself frontand-center, and you can often reap the best possible results when you blend in -- something you can, in fact, do quite well.

Also born on this date are: Kate Capshaw, actress; Roseanne Barr, actress and comedian; Dennis Miller, comedian and actor; Charles Bronson, actor; Larry Holmes, boxer; Adam Ant, singer; Dolph Lundgren, actor; Jake Shimabukuro, musician and composer.

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

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The promise of something more will have you moving in a direction that surprises some, but that gives you more energy and drive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Collaborative efforts may prove more difficult than usual as the day begins, but not because your communication skills are lacking.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You’ll want to be sure that messages are reaching their intended target. Focus on efficiency, and be sure to use your own words.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A quick, occasional look around will allow you to get your bearings.

Don’t assume things will fall out the way you expect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s time to get moving in a direction that affords you more in the way of professional and personal choices.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is the time for you to communicate your desires more effectively, especially to that one friend or loved one who is on the outs.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A change of scenery or venue will serve you well as you look for inspiration. Guidance comes to you as needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You’re in need of something a little special, and you know just where to find it. A friend knows you’ll be knocking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re going to have to set aside your doubts about a certain situation and move ahead more confidently.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You won’t be far from the center of the action. Give yourself time to adjust to changing circumstances, and be willing to say yes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are in a position that will afford you a bit more time to get things done. Don’t let that go to your head, however!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You’ll want to get a fast start. Later, a slowdown is to be expected, but it shouldn’t have any far-reaching consequences.

BOOKS TO CHECK OUT THIS month

The NBC comedy staple is failing, but a brighter future is still possible

By Michael Errigo @DBKDiversions Senior staff writer Every month, this column will be dedicated to books and only books: new ones, old ones, great ones and terrible ones.

We will cover upcoming releases, give some recommendations and provide you with a random grouping. Happy reading.

November releases:

Revival by Stephen King (Nov. 11) The legendary author’s new book, the second he has released this year, has been described as “a dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life.” If you weren’t already excited for this book because of its author, that single sentence should be enough to pique your interest.

A Map of Betrayal by Ha Jin (Nov. 4) There’s nothing quite like a pulse-pounding spy novel, and by all accounts, that is what Chinese-American poet and novelist Ha Jin has produced here, with a flair of family dynamic. A Map of Betrayal tells the story of a young American woman who finds her father’s diary after his death and learns of his secret life as a Chinese spy. As she follows his trail back to China in search of answers about who he really was, she encounters a potent mix of culture, values and patriotism.

The Laughing Monsters by Denis Johnson (Nov. 4)

2. Let us get to know this bloated cast

By Dustin Levy @DustinBLevy Staff writer Saturday Night Live has a problem.

Although the show has been on a steady decline in quality for a while, the NBC staple is putting up its lowest ratings, even with some talented guest stars hosting.

The jokes are becoming predictable, the sketches aren’t as inventive and the cast is filled with many comedians we barely recognize. It’s becoming evident that the post-Seth Meyers turnover was less smooth than expected, but it’s still possible for SNL to return to its previously stellar form.

Here are five ways SNL can change:

1. Get more original in cold opens Jay Pharoah’s President Obama might be pitch-perfect, but it’s disappointing when the impression is relegated to a stale cold opening. It seems as though every week, SNL takes a story from the headlines and hammers an already thin joke to death.

SNL used to give interesting political perspectives, but when Kenan Thompson’s Al Sharpton needs to save a lifeless take on Ebola, you know there’s a problem. SNL’s cold openings have become predictable, and even worse, unfunny. The writers need to start trying to surprise people in the “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” setup.

It’s odd to think that Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader were holding the reins at SNL a few years ago, because the show has yet to replenish that star power. The current cast has a lot of new blood, but it’s clearly full of talent, too. However, besides Thompson’s Sharpton, Vanessa Bayer’s Miley Cyrus and a smattering of decent Weekend Update characters, iconic characters are lacking for much of the cast. To get SNL back on track, SNL MVPs such as Kate McKinnon and Taran Killam need to become standouts, and the lesser-known cast members (what is a Kyle Mooney?) deserve a chance to succeed.

3. Rely on the talents of guest hosts There’s no excuse for not producing high-quality episodes with Chris Pratt, Sarah Silverman, Bill Hader and Jim Carrey at the helm. The best moments this season, such as Carrey and McKinnon dancing to Sia’s “Chandelier” or Silverman’s standup monologue, have involved the guest hosts doing what they do best. Letting this happen more often will create more special moments on Saturday night and more people buzzing about it the next morning.

4. Revamp the Weekend Update desk When Meyers left the Weekend Update desk for late night, the comedy left, too. And it’s a shame because, after

getting her start on the desk next to Meyers, Cecily Strong was starting to look promising as an anchor. She was replaced before this season, just when it seemed she was showing a knack for her position. Her replacement, writer Michael Che, also has shown potential, but head writer Colin Jost has yet to impress in his role as an anchor. Maybe SNL needs to experiment with going against traditions, such as the head writer at the Weekend Update desk, because the show’s staple is starting to become one of its low points every week.

5. Leslie Jones It’s obvious why naming Jones as a new cast member was SNL’s best decision in ages. Jones has a unique voice and the kind of comedic talent that refuses to blend in. So in making this great hire, SNL needs to do its best not to squander it by featuring Jones as much as possible.

She might not be on the repertory cast yet, but it’s obvious SNL found something special in Jones, so using her skills as soon as possible should be a major goal for the show. More than ever, performers are using the revolving door that is the SNL cast, but Jones is one who needs to stick around for a while.

Here’s another spy story to look forward to this month, this one from the author of Tree of Smoke, winner of the 2007 National Book Award. The Laughing Monsters centers on three travelers in West Africa searching for a get-rich-quick scheme in a post-9/11 world of intercultural paranoia. The violence that speckles their war-torn surroundings brings out the worst in each character in a story about secrets on a personal and international level.

The Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion by Meghan Daum (Nov. 18) If you’re looking for a change in format, this book of essays by Daum, who made waves with her 2001 collection, My Misspent Youth, is deeply personal and brutally honest. In capturing her own views of everything from current culture to the death of her mother, Daum might just accomplish a great writer’s best magic trick: making you feel what she feels.

Monthly Recommendations:

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby Hornby’s new novel, Funny Girl, will be dropping in the U.K. in November, but doesn’t reach the states until February.

Use his classic novel to tide over your need for funny British brilliance until then.

Playing for Pizza by John Grisham This is just one of many good books by Grisham and one of many great football books written in the last 50 years. But this brisk novel is different in that the setting (centered around a small-town football team in Italy) and the writing (crisp, witty, easy) are great enough to make it a fun read for anyone, not just football die-hards. A nice read for any time, but especially enjoyable in the heart of football season. merrigodbk@gmail.com

hawkeyes From PAGE 8 Wildcats on Sept. 20.

During the opening minutes, the Terps dominated all facets of the game and took the first eight shots, but Hawkeyes goalkeeper Alexandra Pecora made four saves to keep the contest scoreless early on.

But the sophomore netminder couldn’t keep Fluharty stifled for long. Pecora sprinted from the goal and dove forward to try to clear a ball midway through the first period, but Fluharty corralled the ball and sent it into the back of the cage.

“Max is special,” coach Missy Meharg said. “She’s just a great athlete, and she can play at any line or any position on the field.”

The Millsboro, Delaware native nearly extended the lead later in the half on a rebound opportunity off one of the Terps’ seven first-half corners, but her shot clanked off the post.

Fluharty even contributed

The other Terps freshman, center Michal Cekovsky, finished with zero points and two rebounds in 18 minutes, but coach Mark Turgeon mentioned the 7-foot-1 Slovak’s impact was negated because of the Gators’ 2-3 zone defense.

“Cheko didn’t get the opportunities he’s been having in practice,” Turgeon said.

“But he made some nice passes against the zone.”

“Dion Wiley can do a lot of things,” Turgeon said. “He can shoot the ball; he can pass it; he defended pretty well; and he can rebound pretty well.”

Turgeon also said he was pleased with Trimble’s play and commended the point

That doesn’t mean the former Bishop O’Connell star was entirely unfazed entering his first full contest in front of the Xfinity Center crowd.

“I was nervous,” Trimble said. “I took a 20-minute nap, but I wanted to take an hour nap. Then I put my jersey on, looked at myself in the mirror and went out there and started shooting early.”

Wiley, a product of nearby Potomac High School, was particularly excited to watch his first two shots go in, mostly because he knows members of a dedicated fan base also saw him drain his 3-pointers for the first time.

wrestler, but several Terps competed in their first career dual meets this weekend.

Among the newcomers was 157-pound Justin Alexander, one of three Terps wrestlers to win four matches.

Alexander is the brother

of Geoffrey Alexander, who, after finding success in open competition as a redshirt last season — he finished 25-2 and won four open tournaments — started for the Terps at 133 pounds yesterday.

Even so, McCoy said he was impressed by the performance of Geoffrey’s younger brother, praising the redshirt freshman’s toughness and grit on the mat.

“Justin Alexander did a great job today,” McCoy said. “You could tell in that last match he was exhausted, but he wasn’t going to allow himself to not go out there and fight hard and get that win.”

At 197 pounds, Rob Fitzgerald also went unbeaten in four bouts and won by fall twice.

Though a redshirt senior, Fitzgerald has wrestled sparingly during his career and holds a 15-9 record.

The Downington, Pennsylvania, native will hope to fill the void left by former Terp Christian Boley, who won 25 matches and anchored the Terps’ 197-pound weight class last season.

Fitzgerald finished the meet with an unblemished record, but he acknowledged areas in which he can

improve. He said he plans to work on avoiding early takedowns and hand fighting going forward.

“This is the first time I’ve ever really competed in college, so I’ve gained film,” Fitzgerald said. “Something to get better on for this coming week.”

Instead of seeing 125pound Tyler Goodwin, who compiled a 15-10 record as the starter last year, McCoy used 125-pound Josh Polacek, a redshirt junior who wrestled four times last season. And at 184 pounds — former Terps standout Jimmy Sheptock’s weight class — redshirt freshman Arashdeep Gill wrestled in place of 184-pound Tony Gardner, who had five wins after moving down to 174 pounds last season.

Even with some wrestlers beginning careers and others simply revving up for another campaign, the Terps dominated their opponents.

“It was actually kind of weird going through the same routine with the refs coming and talking to us,” Brown said.

“It was like, ‘Wow, all over again.’ So I’m getting myself ready for another season, and I’m excited.”

until the end of September, but he’s notched six goals since Oct. 1. Even further, he’s gone a perfect 4-for-4 on penalty kicks this year.

“We looked at him for playbuilding and playmaking,” midfielder Jake Areman said.

“We focus on trying to get him to the ball in dangerous spots, so he can make dangerous opportunities and score.”

Corboz didn’t make much of an impact against Ohio State, though, recording just one shot. But in the 38th minute, his free kick from about 20 yards out sailed just high of the net. He scored from a similar

distance in the Terps’ 3-1 win over Santa Clara on Oct. 25.

Corboz’s shot didn’t find the back of the net, but Campbell’s did. It marked Campbell’s second goal in three games, and he scored his first career goal against Santa Clara.

“Once the goals start coming, his confidence is going to build,” Shinsky said.

“It’s great to see him relaxing a bit. … He’s one of those guys who does extra stuff and really is determined to get better himself.”

Last season, the offense f l owe d t h ro u g h fo r m e r

forward Patrick Mullins.

Mullins, a two-time Hermann Trophy winner, scored 19 goals, good for more than a third of the team’s offensive production.

The Terps don’t have a player of Mullins’ caliber this year, but Cirovski said it doesn’t matter how his team scores as long as the Terps keep winning.

“It’s important to keep scoring from wherever,” Cirovski said. “When you have a chance to put it in, you’ve got to put it in.”

As a result, Iowa didn’t have its first shot on goal until the 5:35 mark in the first half.

ed forwards, and in the beginning of the season, we were just having trouble finishing,” Fluharty said. “We still had the opportunities; it just takes time for that to come.”

Pecora made nine first-half saves to keep the game within reach, but the Terps were more efficient in the second half to put the Hawkeyes away for good. After Iowa scored its only goal, midfielder Anna Dessoye responded with a goal 65 seconds later to extend the lead to two goals.

And fittingly, Fluharty left the final mark on the game with her team-leading 15th goal. Though they never anticipated playing in the Big Ten, the senior class helped lead the Terps to their first title in their inaugural season in the conference.

“It’s really cool,” redshirt senior goalkeeper Brooke Cabrera said. “I mean, just like last year we went [out] of the ACC with a bang, and we are starting the right way in the Big Ten.”

Safety Sean davis celebrates during the Terps’ win Saturday. marquise mckine/the diamondback

schnabel From PAGE 8 casual dining, here’s two: 1. Teams that give up 104 combined points in two games don’t get to make statements like that.

2. The 25-cent boneless wing special doesn’t extend through Saturdays. Oh, and Applebee’s doesn’t accept vertical licenses.

Sure, brashness will always have its place in sports, especially football — that sanctified and sanctimonious bastion of unbridled masculinity. And on the surface, the captains definitely looked — forgive me — brash as f---.

It was a bit of a baffling move from Diggs, whose Twitter diatribes against shade, sneak dissing and the like are welldocumented. And it was just plain laughable from Gallo, who entered the matchup with two starts under his belt and just one reception.

Thankfully, the three captains backed up the snub with their play. Gallo scored off a 2-yard pass from quarterback C.J. Brown on the Terps’ third drive. Davis ended the afternoon with a game-high 10 tackles, including one for loss, and three pass breakups.

Diggs, who was lucky to hit the field at all after doming an official, finished with six receptions for 53 yards and added another 90 on returns.

All the same, those stat lines meant little when the Terps faced a two-point deficit with 2:16 on the clock. And it wasn’t Diggs, Davis or Gallo who secured the 20-19 Terps victory.

Running back Wes Brown accounted for all 17 yards on that drive, and kicker Brad Craddock trotted onto the field for his 14th straight successful field goal, a 43-yarder that passed just inside the left upright to keep the junior perfect on the season.

We don’t have to live in a world where Penn State won, and that’s a blessing for Edsall’s team. Thanks to Craddock’s strike and the ensuing win, the handshake slight skews more toward a goof — just boys being boys — than a groan-worthy gaffe.

The longstanding debate over the sacredness of the handshake is a tired one; it doesn’t really matter that the Terps chose to ignore the Penn State captains.

But the Terps — who are barely surpassing expectations in a new conference — decided to make their statement against a team that stumbled into the contest with three straight losses and ranks second-last in Big Ten play in total offense.

That’s never a good look.

If the Nittany Lions had marched off the field and straight to their locker room instead of leaving the sideline to shake hands as the clock ticked toward zero, I wouldn’t have blamed them.

Props to coach James Franklin and company for gutting it out.

As far as rivalry talk goes, the fired-up football on display Saturday (patented sloppy play aside) only reinforced that a Terps-Nittany Lions feud would boost both programs. The Terps and their fans are looking for someone to hate after fleeing the ACC, and a struggling Penn State is still searching for an identity with its third head coach in four seasons.

Simply put, the performances on the field at Beaver Stadium hold greater implications than anything that happened before kickoff or in postgame conferences.

So let’s chill the handshake debate and put a moratorium on the hashtag #shakegate.

And as the Terps slog toward a date under the lights with No. 7 Michigan State on Nov. 15, let’s hope Edsall’s stocked up on a different brand of Kool-Aid. sportsdbk@gmail.com

No reason to get too shaken up Terps’ on-field play has more significance than pregame antics MATT SCHNABEL

“On the field, it still was just that whole team atmosphere,” Fluharty said. “I love that our team is very grounded in that way, and we just make it about everyone and unity.”

The Terps (16-2, 7-1) entered the day sharing the No. 1 spot with Northwestern. A loss would have relegated Meharg’s team to the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten tournament because it lost to the

The camera panned across Terrapins football captains Stefon Diggs, Sean Davis and P.J. Gallo as the trio lined up at midfield Saturday for the pregame coin toss against Penn State.

Whether coach Randy Edsall replaced the Gatorade at last week’s practices with Kool-Aid infused with unadulterated IDGAF, we’ll probably never know.

But when the three Terps looked on silently, arms at their sides as the Nittany Lions captains extended theirs for a handshake, one thing was clear: The jabs the programs had traded since the offseason had hit home for at least one team — certainly harder than Diggs’ stiff-arm to an official’s face in the sideline-clearing scuffle that preceded the toss.

I’m not proud, but I’ll admit it: The whole spectacle looked pretty badass on the Route 1 Applebee’s big-screen TV. But as long as we’re talking lessons in badassery and

A Big TRIUMPH Fluharty leads Terps to school’s first Big Ten regular-season title

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Staff writer As the ball ricocheted off the back of the cage Saturday, Terrapins field hockey midfielder Maxine Fluharty raised her hand toward the sky. The senior’s 38th career goal sealed the win and the school’s first Big Ten regular season title.

The goal ensured Fluharty’s lead as the

top scorer on the most prolific offense in the nation. She was one of the five Terps who stood at midfield just more than an hour earlier as part of a Senior Day celebration. And she would be one of three captains posing for photographs with the trophy later.

Fluharty’s two-goal performance powered the No. 2 Terps to their 11th consecutive victory in a 4-1 win over Iowa (11-6, 4-4 Big Ten) at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex.

Freshmen impress in exhibition opener Trimble, Wiley, Nickens all score at least 13 points in win over San Francisco State

By Aaron Kasinitz @AaronKazreports Senior staff writer Dion Wiley stepped forward to catch a pass from guard Dez Wells and landed with his toes just beyond the three-point line in the corner of Gary Williams Court. The freshman guard then rose up to launch the first shot of his Terrapins men’s basketball career.

It swished through the net.

Two plays later, Wiley slid over to the same corner, stepped in to catch another pass and

let an identical shot fly through the air midway through the Terps’ 86-52 win over San Francisco State in Saturday’s exhibition opener at Xfinity Center. Again, the shot sailed through the rim.

“It helped my confidence a lot,” Wiley said.

“It really got me going.”

The Terps’ performance Saturday, in which they shot better than 51 percent from the field and beyond the arc against their Division II foe, marked the beginning of a new season and gave fans a first look at the team’s reshaped roster.

But it also was a chance for Wiley and the Terps’ three other heralded freshmen to acclimate

themselves to a larger stage than they grew used to as high schoolers.

The rookies didn’t shy from the spotlight, either, and three freshmen scored in double figures on the night. Fifth-year senior guard Richaud Pack was the only other Terp to top the 10-point mark.

Season begins with resounding victories McCoy’s team cruises in Terrapin Duals

By Kyle Stackpole @kylefstackpole Staff Writer As Terrapins 141-pound wrestler Shyheim Brown exited the mat after winning by technical fall against Johns Hopkins, he heard coach Kerry McCoy’s voice on the Terps’ bench.

“Coach told me ‘Welcome back,’” Brown said. “It was definitely good hearing that.”

Brown, who won all three of his matches, contributed to the Terps’

sweep of the Terrapin Duals yesterday at Xfinity Center. McCoy’s squad disposed of Johns Hopkins (49-0), Kutztown (35-10), Davidson (36-9) and Alderson–Broaddus (40-3) in its first meet of the season.

“The most exciting part of the day was we got to get so many guys some matches,” McCoy said. “Everyone got a chance to get out there and get some experience and help the team, so that was exciting.”

While scouting Ohio State in preparation for the Terrapins men’s soccer game Saturday night, midfielder Dan Metzger noticed how the Buckeyes operate offensively.

The Buckeyes play a direct style, moving the ball through their defenders on the left side of the field.

On Saturday, the Terps executed their game plan and stymied nearly every Buckeyes attack attempt near midfield.

It allowed the Terps to control the ball for most of the contest and outshoot the Buckeyes 13-4.

And while the Terps’ only goal in the 1-0 win came when forward George Campbell converted on a 75th-minute header, the possession dominance reflected a seasonlong trend.

“We would’ve liked to have been a goal up, or maybe two, in the first half,” coach Sasho Cirovski said.

“The services were good; the runs maybe could be a little better. We had some good chances in the run of play as well.”

The Terps have outshot opponents 222-120 this year, but the bulk of their dominance usually comes later

Cirovski attributed the Terps’ lategame offensive success to their scoring diversity. The Terps don’t boast a primary scorer, but 11 players have

found the back of the net this season.

“You have [Alex] Shinsky, [Michael] Sauers, [Mikias Eticha], Tsubasa [Endoh],” Cirovski said. “We have a bunch of different guys that can score.

That’s becoming a strength.”
