Half of tuitionfunds come fromnon-residents
Blair said the universitytries to maintain the numberof resident students becausethey want to “provide signifi-cant access to in-state stu-dents” even though the uni-versity makes significantlymore money from out-of-state student. A Board ofRegents policy mandates thestudent body consists of atleast 70 percent in-state stu-dents.
While the cost of in-statetuition has been frozen forthe past three years, out-of-state tuition has beensteadily climbing. Last year,it increased four percent to$21,637. In-state tuitionstayed at $6,566.
This gap means that forevery 1,000 in-state studentsenrolled instead of out-of-
state students, the universityloses $15 million, Blair said.
Blair said the universityexpects the same percentageof in-state and out-of-statestudents to enroll this fall. Toensure this, Gill said shehopes new admissions andrecruitment efforts will beable to encourage an equalamount of out-of-staters toenroll.
Gill also said the universityis accepting fewer transferstudents than in the past totry and increase the univer-sity’s Shady Grove campus.This year, they plan to enroll300 fewer transfer studentsthan last year’s 2,400. Theuniversity plans on enrollingthe same number of totalfreshmen as last year —about 4,000.
Jason’s Deli will offer patrons free ice creamsaid Bob Ryan, director ofpublic services in CollegePark.
Helfman said they wereunaware they needed to sub-mit plans to the WSSC and ittook another eight weeks forthe plumbing permit to comethrough, hence the two-month delay.
“I’m personally surprisedit happened in College Park,”Helfman said, adding there isusually some delay in biggercities but rarely problems insmall ones like College Park.
Helfman was excited totalk about the restaurant’shealthy advances in eliminat-ing trans fat and creating amenu full of “good food”that’s “what college kidswant.”
In the March issue ofHealth, Jason’s Deli wasranked No. 2 behind onlyPanera Bread in its list of
“America’s Top 10 HealthiestFast Food Chains,” citing thedeli’s “devotion to organicfood” as the mainreason for itsranking.
“Jason’s menualso highlightsu l t r a - h e a l t h ysandwiches andprovides thenutritional info,”the article said,adding the judgeswere especiallyimpressed with“being able tobuild any sand-wich on anorganic wholewheat wrap.”
Students seemmostly unawareof the delays inthe deli’s openingand initiallyexpressed little excitementabout it until hearing thedetails of its health-con-
scious menu.“Looking for healthy
places to eat is always a chal-lenge,” juniorgeneral businessmajor Farrah Al-Mansoor said.“There’s not thatmany healthyrestaurants onRoute 1.”
Helfman alsobelieves thee s t a b l i s h m e n twill be success-ful because of apopular promo-tion: free icecream.
“It’s whatwe’ve done for 30years,” he said.“We always jokethat Ben andJerry’s givesaway free ice
cream one day a year and wegive more away in a week,nationally, than they do in a
year.”Helfman explained almost
anyone who comes into therestaurant is entitled to afree ice cream cone. He saidthe ice cream is typically forcustomers but employees areencouraged to be lax andgive out scoops to anyone.
Senior English major EarlSchaffer expressed hope thatJason’s Deli will be able toappeal to his “high expecta-tions” and replace Wawa, thestore that occupied the spacebefore, but did not renew itslease in 2007.
Schaffer said he expectsthe restaurant to be as popu-lar and exciting as the well-liked convenience store oncewas. He also hopes it will beable to withstand thedrunken mobs just as well.
“I hope the administration[of Jason’s Deli] has thegumption to do what Wawacouldn’t in terms oflongevity,” Schaffer said,
adding he remembers thelarge amount of theft thatriddled the store late atnight.
But Schaffer did say hewas excited about a healthysandwich shop coming to theRoute 1 area.
“I love sandwiches — Icould eat them every day,” hesaid. “I think it’s good wehave a new place becausepeople need options.”
Others weren’t so opti-mistic.
Freshman pre-pharmacymajor Kirsten Du was notfamiliar with the franchiseand was not impressed withthe healthy nature of Jason’sDeli.
“There’s the Quiznos andthe Subway already,” Dusaid. “If it’s between Quiznosand Jason’s Deli, I’d proba-bly pick Quiznos becauseI’ve heard of it.”
“I lovesandwiches —I could eatthem everyday. I think it’sgood we havea new placebecausepeople needoptions.”

semester, SGA members havecollected about 500 signed let-ters from students askingstate legislators to continuethe tuition freeze, which haskept in-state tuition at $6,566per year for the past threeyears. But neither the letternor the SGA’s tuition factsheet mentions out-of-statetuition, which has increasedby $1,632 since the 2006-2007school year.
Out-of-state students are“definitely a group that oftengets thrown on the backburner,” SGA Speaker of theLegislature Matt Lyons said.
Sachs said keeping out-of-state tuition low was a prior-ity, but it was too early to domuch about it. The Board ofRegents, a group of 17 guber-natorial appointees that over-sees the University System ofMaryland, ultimately sets in-and out-of-state tuition andwon’t act until after the statebudget is finalized this sum-mer.
Sachs said his “great rela-
tionships with people on theBoard of Regents” will helphim in lobbying to keep out-of-state tuition costs low.
Although no one votedagainst the lobbying bill, twolegislators abstained.
Cambridge CommunityLegislator Lisa Crisalli, a NewJersey native, said sheabstained because of the pos-sible impact of the tuitionfreeze on out-of-state stu-dents.
“Historically, there is achance that the costs couldbefall out-of-state students,”she said, although Govern-mental Affairs Committee
Chair Nick Mongelluzzo saidthe freeze would not automat-ically raise out-of-statetuition.
Engineering School Legis-lator Kate Bodner, also fromNew Jersey, said sheabstained because the bill didnot help her entire con-stituency. But, she said as anout-of-state student she had tobe “realistic” about the SGA’sability to keep tuition low.
“There’s only so much wecan control,” Bodner said. “Iunderstand the limits of theMaryland SGA. ... I can’texpect them to cover NewJersey as well.”
SGA Speaker Pro TemporeJenna Aidikoff and OutlyingCommuter Legislator SteveGlickman, both out-of-statestudents from New York, saidthey were not upset with theSGA’s focus on the tuitionfreeze.
“There are people lookingout for out-of-state students,”Glickman said, adding that onthe university’s lobbying dayearly this month he talked tolegislators about out-of-state
tuition.Although the in-state freeze
has been a priority, the SGAhas also stressed to state sen-ators the need to keep out-of-state tuition low, Mongelluzzosaid.
State Sen. Jim Rosapepe(D-Anne Arundel and PrinceGeorge’s), who supports thefreeze, said he had heard fromthe SGA about the out-of-statetuition issue.
“Everybody thinks we needto keep tuition as low as pos-sible across the board,” hesaid.
Part of the problem withkeeping out-of-state tuitionlow is that there is little politi-cal incentive, Sachs, Mongel-luzzo and Rosapepe said.
“It’s much harder to con-vince a legislator to supportfreezing the tuition of a con-stituent who can’t vote in theelection,” said Mongelluzzo,who added there was “nomajor in-state effort to freezeout-of-state tuition.”
Sachs also noted the SGA’s
efforts to pass state legisla-tion aimed to reduce the costof textbooks will benefit bothin- and out-of-state students.
“Textbooks is one of theissues where everybody ispaying way too much for noreason,” he said.
The last item of the SGA billpromises to “lobby to reducethe impact of an in-statetuition freeze” on theexpenses of out-of-state stu-dents. The clause arose from a
“misconception” about howfunding for the freeze works,Mongelluzzo said.
If the state legislature cutsthe $16 million necessary forthe freeze from Gov. MartinO’Malley’s (D) budget pro-posal, in-state tuition will risebut out-of-state tuition willnot be directly affected; itsultimate rate is set by theBoard of Regents.

Education school increases international focusStrategic Plan, approved last year, asks all colleges to add global elements to curricula
BY TIRZA AUSTINStaff writer
The university’s educationschool is trying to incorporatemore international aspects intotheir curriculum, with the hopesit will trickle down to earlier lev-els of education.
Armed with a $25,000 grantfrom the Longview Foundation,the College of Education hopesthat giving future teachersworldwide knowledge will en-able them to better educate pri-mary and secondary schoolchild-ren in the ways of the world.
At the same time, the college isalso working to fulfill a require-ment in the university’s StrategicPlan for colleges and depart-ments to give their curricula aglobal focus.
“Everything is international
no matter what your major is,”said Saul Sosnowski, director ofInternational Programs. “Thereis nothing you can do in isolation.That is something we have to un-derstand.”
As part of its efforts, the Col-lege of Education is having stu-dents read international litera-ture, examine world history fromnon-American viewpoints, learnhow ancient cultures studiedmath and look at the effects of cli-mate change. James Greenberg,the director of the Center forTeaching Excellence, said inter-national perspectives in educa-tion have traditionally been ig-nored, and hopes the new cur-riculum will change that.
“We need to realize how muchof an effect we have on the rest ofthe world,” Greenberg said.
Although the college isn’t
changing its curriculum require-ments, Greenberg said, they areasking professors to incorporatemore global issues into theircourses, creating a transforma-tion process rather than astraight swap of old material fornew material.
“It’s not a matter of addingsomething on,” Greenberg said.“The idea is to be more or less atransformation that reflectsthrough all the parts. We are con-tinuing to make that part of theawareness.”
Greenberg said this processbegins with faculty developmentthrough the Global Awareness inTeacher Education Fellows Pro-gram, which was developed withthe grant from the LongviewFoundation.
“People who are going to beteaching the teachers need to be-
come as up-to-date and aware aspossible of new initiatives,”Greenberg said.
The foundation usually focuseson incorporating internationalstudies in grade school. Throughpartnerships with the universityand other institutions, the founda-tion is able to influence what theteachers learn, said Betsy Devlin-Foltz, its executive director. Sheadded the foundation tries to in-crease international and lan-guage education in K-12 schools.
“It’s clear to us you can’t changeschools unless you work with theteachers,” Devlin-Foltz said.
Greenberg is also working withstudents to examine successfulteaching methods used in othercountries. As part of this effort, hetook a class of education studentsto Germany for a short-term studyabroad course in January.
Besides asking individual de-partments and colleges to addglobal elements to their courses,the university is also trying to in-crease the number of studentsstudying abroad and recruit moreinternational students and faculty.
For example, Sosnowski saidhe expects the new CORE cur-riculum to integrate internation-al studies into the university cur-riculum through adding newcourses and adding new materialto old classes.
“That issue is going to comeup,” Sosnowski said. “How do weincorporate the world into ourcurriculum?”
Devlin-Foltz, who said incor-porating an international per-spective throughout the univer-sity using the Strategic Plan wasan excellent idea, said studentswho graduate need to be aware
of international issues to be pre-pared for the 21st century.
“Students are graduating in aworld that is international,” De-vlin-Foltz said. “They need tothink in global terms. They willbe working with internationalareas. There are few challenges,and global components, in jobsthat are not global.”
As the Internet and business in-dustry continue to connect theworld, Greenberg said the class-room needs to prepare students forthe new challenges they will face.
“Lately, as the world gets moreinterconnected and integrated, weneed more sense of global aware-ness,” Greenberg said. “The nextgeneration needs to understandthat the United States is part of aninternational perspective.”

When President BarackObama passed his $787 bil-lion stimulus package lastweek, nobody expected
Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) to reject the$3.8 billion Maryland has coming, likesome fiscally conservative governors inthe South.
“All of us are committed to workingwith President Obama to pull our na-tion’s economy out of the ditch thatGeorge W. Bush ran it into,” O’Malleysaid in a Feb. 23 Associated Press article.“If some of the fringe governors don’twant to do that, they need to step asideand not stand in the way of the nation’sinterests.”
But what about Maryland’s interests?The money in the stimulus packageshould be spent carefully, and ought to beweighed alongside major cuts to pro-grams. While the stimulus plan mayseem like a gift, let us not forget the statestill faces a $2 billion budget shortfall.
In the budget O’Malley originally pro-posed, he appeared ready to make the
spending cuts necessary to protect thestate’s economic future. But now it ap-pears he is going back on his word — andthat’s cause for alarm. Public schools willget back money they would have lost,which is a good investment. But the 700state government jobs, which O’Malleywas planning on eliminating, are nowsafe. They shouldn’t be.
The state was facing a deficit far be-fore the current crisis, and it needs tomake those job cuts or make anotherhard choice that will ensure economicprosperity in the future. Once the stimu-lus funding disappears, the governor willface the same problem he does now.
As the editorial board of The (Annapo-
lis) Capital states, “Even if it works asplanned, the stimulus package is exactlylike taking aspirin for an awful case of theflu ... little will be done about the underly-ing illness.”
That illness is overspending. Thestate’s government spends far more thanit earns, and for many years now, has hadto dip into state savings to pay for pro-grams with debatable merit (such as thePurple Line). Now the state has to rely onfederal money when it could have beenusing its own savings. The federal moneycould have been used as intended: stimu-lating the economy with one-time pro-grams (such as the Purple Line).
After watching House last night, Iwondered what Gregory House wouldsay about O’Malley’s budget. On theweekly dramedy, House makes a list ofall his patient’s symptoms on his whiteboard. O’Malley’s symptoms are too littlerevenue and too much spending. Newsymptoms include falling tax receiptsdue to a slowing economy.
House works tirelessly with his team
to tackle the problems, and solves it in thefinal minutes of the episode. He doesn’tattack each symptom with temporaryfixes as O’Malley has tried to do since.He holistically cures his patients.
O’Malley likes the little fixes. It startedwith a huge tax increase in 2006, whichwas going to solve the deficit. It didn’t.Slot machines were going to solve theproblem of a faltering education system.It is expected to make less than O’Malleypromised. Finally, as O’Malley was goingto perform major surgery to finally solvethe problem and to make the necessarycuts, it is as if he was given a big shot ofmethadone by the feds to dull the pain ayear. The only sure-fire fix for a deficit isrestraining spending, not increasing it.
O’Malley should simply do the neces-sary surgery, so that time and moneyaren’t wasted trying to dull the pain ofmaking unpopular cuts.

O’Malley: Do what’s right, not what’s popular
They decided same-sex couples working for the University System of Mary-land shouldn’t receive domestic partner benefits. They have the final vote ontuition, and they pick which on-campus housing projects will receive statefunding. According to administrators, they have the final say on whether
we’ll be allowed to implement a medical emergency amnesty poli-cy. But for all of their power, too many students don’t even knowwhat the Board of Regents and its members do, let alone whatthey’re capable of.
The fact that students are out of the loop about a political processis nothing new. But what’s crazy is that most new regents also startoff out of the loop. The board is the governing body of the state’s 13state colleges and universities; regents are appointed by the gover-nor and confirmed by the state Senate. Last week Gov. Martin O’-Malley (D) nominated four regents, including the new student regent. Like most of thecurrent and past regents, none of the nominees (except the prospective student re-gent) come from within the university system, or even from academia. One nomineeis a defense industry executive, one is a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology and one isthe president of a health care management company.
With such diverse backgrounds, we hope the new regents can leverage theirstrengths for the good of the system: Maybe with two health care professionals, the re-gents can take action on the much-needed Good Samaritan policy. But the new re-gents will quickly have to move beyond their areas of expertise and acquaint them-selves with the full range of issues affecting the state’s public universities. After all,they’re the highest-ranking officials in the state when it comes to higher education.
And they can’t properly educate themselves without listening to students. We’re notjust saying this as students, either. Students have an understanding distinct from thatof lawmakers or administrators that regents will need to understand if they hope to dotheir jobs right.
But we hardly expect regents to pick the brains of the hundredsof thousands of students in the system. That’s why the student re-gent plays such a pivotal role. Sara Elfreth, the newly nominatedstudent regent, said she is going to develop a stronger state-widenetwork of Student Government Associations. The ideas and opin-ions of students can travel through their representatives to El-freth, who is tasked with ensuring that the other 16 regents hearstudents’ concerns. Elfreth repeatedly said she’ll support whatev-er decisions the regents vote to adopt, but she’s got it backwards.
She needs to act as a representative of students, not of the other regents. New regents will be hearing from older regents, state lawmakers and university ad-
ministrators. Students’ ideas can’t be looked at as an optional addendum. Regents areappointed to represent the interests of all stakeholders, even if they happen to be 20years old and without any political capital to throw around. One of the four recentnominees, Linda Gooden, is an executive vice president at Lockheed Martin Informa-tional Systems and Global Services. The company’s motto is straightforward: “Wenever forget who we’re working for.” For Lockheed Martin, the federal government isfar and away its largest customer — funded by tax dollars, they’re working for theAmerican people. Fueled by the taxes of Marylanders and by the tuition dollars of stu-dents, the regents should never forget who they’re working for, either.

The general education task forcewill finally begin discussing anew CORE curriculum thisspring. Better late than never:
It’s about time we sat down and took agood look at CORE. We’ve all heard thatit will be revamped, and some of us mayeven have read the strategic plan, which(very vaguely) outlines what thechanges will be. For those who haven’t,let me fill you in: Instead of the currentDistributive Studies requirements — therequired English, science and mathclasses — all students take, the newCORE will set broader umbrellas for ourgeneral education. The new require-ments will have pithy names such asPathways to Knowledge and Creativity,2020 Perspectives and Ways of Think-ing. I can’t wait to see how the task forceplans on making that into a coherent, co-hesive curriculum.
But as you may (or may not) know,Distributive Studies is only part of yourCORE requirement — everyone alsohas to take Fundamental Studies courses
(for math and English) and AdvancedStudies (two upper-level electives). Well,Fundamental Studies is only requiredfor most: You can actually place out ofmath, English or both with SAT or APscores. I shouldn’t need to say this, but ifyou’re good at math or English in highschool, does that mean that you don’thave anything left to learn?
I guess the administration tries tomake up for that through Junior English.If you placed out of ENGL 101, you stillhave to take ENGL 391 (or an equiva-lent), which should (in theory) teach youprofessional writing. Here’s what makeseven less sense: Anyone who got an A inENGL 101 is exempt from Junior Eng-lish, which means that the students whoplaced out of the freshman English class(and, by the university’s logic, should bebetter at writing) join those who didpoorly when they registered for the jun-ior class. That arrangement is to no-body’s benefit: It inflates the egos of theoverachievers, and weakens the confi-dence of students who were already
struggling.The strategic plan, however, seems as
confused as most freshmen are abouthow these requirements fit into the cur-riculum. The plan says that “throughFundamental Studies in English andmathematics, the new General Educa-tion program will impart to studentshabits ... needed for success in their pri-mary fields of study and throughouttheir lives.” To me, that sounds likethey’re thinking of something new andimproved. But the very next paragraphsays: “The new General Education pro-posal retains the present requirement ofFundamental Studies in English andmathematics for all students.” Wait,
that’s the opposite of new! Don’t get me wrong — I’m not for
changing things that work well. But,honestly, has anyone in the administra-tion taken the time to think about ourpresent Fundamental Studies require-ments?
I hope the general education taskforce will consider the problems of thecurrent Fundamental Studies require-ments, and possible methods for im-proving it. My suggestion? Everyoneshould have to take math and English,but not necessarily at the introductorylevels. Let students who need improve-ment in one area take the lower level, butlet science majors fulfill their math re-quirement with Calculus III and litera-ture lovers fulfill their English require-ments with a 400-level course on Eng-lish epics from Milton to Joyce — orwhatever else they decide is interesting.

We’re all taking actions to combatglobal warming. Some of us arestrict about turning off lights andfaucets. Others use eco-friendlyshopping bags and recycle every-thing in sight. Yet there is somethingtoo few of us think of when we wageour war against climate change:public transportation.
Between 15 and 30 percent of car-bon emissions come from automo-bile exhaust. Many of us rely on cars
to commute toschool andwork — toomany of us. Weare an automo-b i l e - c e n t r i csociety, and weshouldn’t be —e s p e c i a l l ywhen publictransit ischeaper, moreefficient andmore ecologi-cally friendly.One bus cantake up to 40cars off theroad. Instead ofemitting 40cars’ worth ofcarbon, thinkof emitting afraction of thatthrough publictransportation.The economicstimulus bill
which was recently passed providesmuch-needed funding for projectsrelated to improving public trans-portation.
In this difficult economic time, wemust recognize the cost efficiency ofpublic transit versus the expensesassociated with owning a car. Esti-mate the price of gas, maintenanceand registration of a car. Now thinkof that versus the generous estimateof $30 a week spent commuting onthe Metro. Gas prices alone can eas-ily add up to more than that.
The university’s chapter of theMaryland Public Interest ResearchGroup has been stressing the impor-tance of public transit developmentand funding, both on the state andfederal level, and I applaud our rep-resentatives for their support ofpublic transit in the economic stim-ulus bill. Appropriations for roadsare down 18 percent from the 2008budget, and railroad’s proportionwent up from 2 percent to 21 per-cent. We need to recognize the mer-its of public transit and not let the$17.7 billion allocated to transitfrom the stimulus bill go underuti-lized.
One of the flaws in the bill showsour unwavering dependence on thecar. While the bill dictates that masstransit users will get to spend up to$230 a month tax free on commut-ing, the same amount goes to driversand did before the bill passed. Theoptimal circumstance would be tokeep the former tax break for tran-sit riders — $120 a month — andlower the drivers to the same oreven less to encourage more use ofpublic transit. The extra tax revenuecould then go to infusing transitagencies with capital, while reward-ing transit users. The raw numbersof the stimulus package give greatemphasis to the importance of pub-lic transit in our future, and weshould embrace it with open arms.
Here’s to a future path built onrails, not roads.

BYZACHARYHERRMANNSenior staff writer
Wherever Joaquin Phoenix’sincreasingly strange legacy takeshim from here, let’s hope peoplecan remember Two Lovers, a filmthat reveals the actor as one of thebest in his generation.
The unfortunate likely truthwill be that most people will re-call Phoenix’s spacey, heavilyYouTubed appearance on DavidLetterman rather than the film hewas supposed to be promoting atthe time (his last, if we are to be-lieve the hype). And, regardlessof whether Phoenix’s strange de-meanor and promised rap careeris meant to be taken seriously, it’sa damn shame.
Borrowing a bit from Dosto-evsky, director James Gray hasspun a tragic romance the likes ofwhich rarely appear in main-stream American cinema.
“Very few American moviestake love seriously,” Gray (WeOwn the Night) said in an inter-view with The Diamondback. “Al-most all of them tend to treat itlike a comedy.”
Two Lovers is not without itshumor and warmth — Gray said
he devised plenty of visual “but-tery yellows and browns” to cutthe austere, cool blues — but theoverall gravity is undeniable.Leonard (Phoenix, We Own theNight), a manic depressive whostill lives with his parents in theBrighton Beach section of Brook-lyn, is a man confined by limita-tions beyond his control.
When he meets his upstairsneighbor, Michelle (Gwyneth Pal-trow displaying plenty of AnnieHall charm, Iron Man), Leonardbecomes (understandably) ob-sessed. She’s the sort of womanBob Dylan so aptly described in“Just Like a Woman” — beautiful
and inviting but severely dam-aged just under the surface.
Despite his longing forMichelle, Leonard gets involvedin a serious relationship withSandra (Vinessa Shaw,Badland), his father’s businesspartner’s daughter.
In what may well be his finesthour, Phoenix completely embod-ies Leonard’s duality, appearingshrunken and apologetic in hisparents’ apartment and with San-dra, but emboldened and roman-tic around Michelle.
Gray said he and fellowscreenwriter Ric Menello pulledmore from their lives than from
past films to create a more inti-mate experience.
“It was actually the easiest pic-ture I’ve had to work on,” Grayadded later. “It was the most per-sonal, it was the easiest to getmade, it was the easiest to castand it was the happiest shoot ...because it was closest to my heartof any of the pictures.”
As a complete departure fromGray’s other, gun-toting Brightonflicks, Two Loverscontains the fi-nesse and restraint of a much-matured filmmaker. The visual
subtlety, courtesy of cinematogra-pher Joaquín Baca-Asay, mirrorsthe split in Leonard’s desire.
He needs the comfort and se-curity one love can offer, while hesuppresses the magnetism he as-sociates with the other. Thoughnot overtly political, Two Loversmanages to strike a chord of rele-vance with its tale of personal sta-sis — caught between what is eas-ily attainable and what is just outof reach.
It’s also of no small conse-quence that Leonard dry-cleansby day while his true passion isin black-and-white photography.Tough times are notoriouslyrough on would-be artists.
Unlike its parents,Leonard’s generation forgoespassion in need of somethingmore tangible to cling to. Thisis modern love seen throughthe fog of recession, wherepragmatism and necessityconquer all. It’s probably notglamorous to practice, but itmakes for terrific cinema.

LANDONMILBOURNEThe junior bounced backfrom a poor game againstNorth Carolina with a team-high 19 points and sometough rebounding.
&&THE UPSTHE DOWNS
FREE THROWSThe Terps missed seven freethrows in the second half,when points were at apremium.
THE CROWDThey got there early, broughtsigns, and let the refs knowwhen they didn’t agree with acall. Plus the “Scheyerfaces.”
turned to his backside, deliveredthe ball to guard Jon Scheyer, andwith four seconds remaining on theshot clock, the most mocked man atComcast Center drilled a back-breaking 3-pointer. The Terps (17-10, 6-7 ACC) had no answer andNo. 9 Duke (23-5, 9-4 ACC) pre-vailed 78-67.
“That shot was definitely a dag-ger,” Hayes said. “That put themover the top. That’s a pretty bigshot he made.”
Fans arrived at Comcast Centerat 5 a.m. for the much anticipated 9p.m. tip-off, and as part of whatthey called “Operation Scheyer-face,” the majority of the studentsection brandished a teasing pic-ture of the Blue Devils guard.
It was Scheyer who got the lastlaugh, rendering a valiant Terpseffort futile.
Duke smacked the Terps by 41points when the teams met Jan. 24,but the Terps went into last night’sgame with a newfound confidencefollowing an upset victory againstthen-No. 3 North Carolina last Sat-urday.
Last night, the lead changed 11times, the score was tied on 13occasions, and neither team wentahead by more than four pointsuntil there were fewer than fiveminutes remaining. Eventually, theBlue Devils created separation.
“We played hard as a team, butthey finished and we didn’t,” guardAdrian Bowie said. “They wantedit more. They knocked down openshots, and we made too many men-tal mistakes at the end.”
Duke hit clutch shots when theyneeded them, secured enoughloose balls to make a differenceand wore down a Terp team thatplayed most of the second halfwithout star guard GreivisVasquez, who was in foul troubleand eventually fouled out.
“There were a couple of balls onthe floor that we didn’t get … and[Duke was] able to get them,”coach Gary Williams said. “Theywere big plays. It’s a shame,because we worked so hard, and acouple plays like that hurt us. Wemade them miss but couldn’t comeup with the ball, and that reallyhurts you against a good team,because they’re gonna make someshots.”
After getting dominated insidethe paint by Duke last month, theTerps carried a 40-26 advantage
down low behind 19 points fromforward Landon Milbourne lastnight. Heading into the half, theteams were even at 34-34.
Following halftime, it appearedthe Terps’ grip would slip away fol-lowing a series of unfortunateplays. Up by one, guard SeanMosley crumbled to the floor, hold-ing his left leg and wincing in pain.Moments later, Vasquez picked uphis fourth foul. And with 17:42remaining, last weekend’s herotook a seat on the bench.
“It was a big loss,” Bowie said.“He’s the best player on our team, soleadership [was] lost, and points too.”
But for 10 minutes and 9 seconds,with Vasquez cast aside on the bench,and Mosley back in action, Bowie andMilbourne helped the Terps outscoreDuke 20-17. Upon Vasquez’s reen-trance with 7:33 left, the score wastied 56-56.
Williams began employing anoffense/defense substitution modewith Vasquez and Mosley respec-tively. With 3:24 remaining,Vasquez committed an offensivefoul and was disqualified. Mosleypicked up his fifth foul on the nextpossession.
After the game, the Terpsshowed a mixture of pride and dis-appointment. They gave the BlueDevils a scare, but couldn’t sum-
mon the dash to pull off a secondupset victory in five days.
“We’re a damn good basketballteam,” Williams said. “We playedreally hard; we played our heartsout. We didn’t get the win, but Iknow what we did out there tonightand how hard we worked to getwhere we had a chance to win that
game. And I’m really proud of theplayers in getting ready.”
He continued: “We’re gonna betough the rest of the way. I guaran-tee it. This is a good basketballteam, and I’m proud to be coachingthis team.”
Gary Williams and the Terps nearly pulled off a second straight big upset last night against Duke. ADAM FRIED/THE DIAMONDBACK

Combined ties andlead changes
“Everything is still there forus,” Williams said at the time.“We play enough good teamscoming up that, if we can winsome games in the stretch, itcan put us in good shape.That’s what we’re going to talkabout and go from there.”
It sounded a little like a rashdisplay of bravado, but Williamslooked like a genius Saturdaywhen the Terps beat then-No. 3North Carolina, setting upanother huge opportunity tomake the same statementWednesday against No. 7 Duke.
Confidence last night washigh; morale at Comcast Cen-ter was even higher; and eventhough the air was slowly letout of the balloon in the 78-67loss, by the end of the night youreally had to believe in thisteam again, no matter howmany negative columns youmay or may not have writtenabout them.
But then you remember theschedule, and you can’t be sosure.
“We feel like we can play withanybody,” forward Landon Mil-bourne said. “We feel like wecan win any game we play.”
And while those statementswould have sounded extremelycliché a week ago, at this point Mil-bourne is absolutely justified.
The Terp team that took thefloor Wednesday night wasworthy of an NCAA Tourna-ment berth, and would beatmost teams in the country.
It’s just too bad the schedulehad to break this way, and thatthe Terps didn’t have this kindof swagger when they were
playing the lower-echelon ACCteams earlier in the conferenceseason.
The Terps are playing theirbest basketball at what nor-mally would be the perfect timeof the season — except they hadto play these juggernautsWilliams was excited to face.
“We’re going to be tough therest of the way,” Williams said.“I guarantee you.”
The Terps probably will be,but it may just be too late.
They gave a tremendouseffort in an electric atmos-phere at Comcast Center lastnight, and should be applaudedfor sticking around with Dukefor as long as they did.
The Terps stood up to everyBlue Devil challenge until thefinal minutes, putting a majorscare into the same team thatbarely broke a sweat againstthe them only a month ago.
They pushed a top-10 teamto its limit in a game — unlike
the one against North Carolina— in which the Terps didn’t getmost if not all of the breaks orbounces, and they certainlydidn’t get all the calls.
They did it with GreivisVasquez on the bench in foul trou-ble for the vast majority of thesecond half and with Sean Mosleylimited by an leg injury.
If the Terps had played thiswell against Boston College,against Florida State and in thefirst game against Miami,Wednesday’s loss would havebeen just a minor speed bumpin the Terps’ road to a sureNCAA appearance.
But now, the Terps still havetheir work cut out for them intheir last three games. They haveyet another top-15 team cominginto Comcast next week in No. 13Wake Forest on Tuesday, sand-wiched between games at N.C.State and Virginia.
If the Terps play in their lastthree games like they lastnight, a tournament berth isstill a possibility. But it’s a lottougher than it has to be.
“Some of those games in thepast, we could’ve won thosegames if we played as hard aswe played against Duke,”guard Adrian Bowie said. “Youhave to think about that.”
Yes, you do. Because asinspiring a performance as lastnight’s was, the bottom line isthe Terps still have some dig-ging left to do to get out of theearly season hole.
The hole may have gotten alittle deeper, but at least now itlooks like somebody handedthem a shovel.
While Landon Milbourne scored19 points, the Duke defensestifled the Terps last night. JACLYN

Big showing for Terp fansBy 5 a.m., fans were lining up outside student entrance
BY ERIC DETWEILERSenior staff writer
For Glenn Licker, last night’s Terrapinmen’s basketball game against Duke startedwell before the scheduled 9 p.m. tip-off.
The senior history major was at the frontof a group of students who started lining upas early as 5 a.m. in order to get prime seatsfor what was widely regarded as the biggestgame of the season.
Buoyed by Saturday’s home win againstthen-No. 3 North Carolina, the Terp studentswere in rare form last night, almost com-pletely filling up the student wall nearly anhour before game time.
That was plenty of time to reign a chorus ofboos as the Blue Devils came out for theirfinal warm-ups and to ready their photo-copies of the now infamous “Scheyerface,”an unflattering picture of Duke guard JohnScheyer, which students held up periodicallyduring the game.
“[Without the North Carolina win,] wemight’ve come at 7 [a.m.] instead of 5 [a.m.]”said sophomore letters and sciences majorAdam Hammer, a member of Licker’s group.
Licker, who periodically rotated with agroup of friends throughout the day, said he“just chilled” and worked on school work asmore and more students joined the packbefore doors were finally opened at 7 p.m.
Senior statistics major Mat Schulman, whocame out at 8 a.m. to claim the 10th spot inthe line, said the pregame camp-out was notas crowded as before the 2007 game againstthe Blue Devils, which fell on a Sunday. Butin order to get a good seat for his final Dukegame as a student, Schulman was willing toshow up early.
“It’s pretty important,” Schulman said beforethe game. “I want to go out with a bang.”
For the seniors in attendance, the Terps’72-60 win against the Blue Devils in 2007becomes the only positive home result fromthe rivalry.
With a chance for the Terps to take theirNCAA Tournament resumé to a comfortable
position that didn’t seem possible just lastweek, the fans carried over their excitementfrom Saturday.
“[The North Carolina win] gave people alittle more faith in our team, and we’re readyto go” said sophomore economics major CateMcCrory, who stood in the front row holdinga large poster with Scheyer’s face and bigblue tears, reading “Real men don’t cry.”
A late Duke run quieted the sell-out crowd,but that didn’t change their feelings towardthe Blue Devils. Licker made it clear the out-come was beside the point of his passion.
“Do I need a reason?” Licker asked rhetor-ically. “They’re Duke.”

SportsTHE
‘HYPEMASTER’Emery Wallace will never play another game for
the Terrapin women’s basketball team. Thatdoesn’t make her any less valuable for the Terps.
AFTER THE Terrapin women’sbasketball team’s 29-pointDecember loss at Pitt, coachBrenda Frese knew she had to
make a critical adjustment to ensure herteam’s future success on the road.
The seventh-year Terp coach wasn’tthinking about a change in the startinglineup or a switch in defensive strategy.Frese was concerned about a member ofthe team who didn’t play that day — onewho wasn’t even in Pittsburgh to witnessthe Terps’ worst loss of the season.
That player was redshirt sophomoreEmery Wallace, who after multipleinjuries to her left knee is no longer ableto suit up for the No. 5 Terps.
But Frese felt that Wallace’s otherattributes — her seemingly endlesscharisma and energy on the sideline —were too important for the Terps (23-4,10-2 ACC) to be without when away fromComcast Center.
“I told her she was not allowed to missanother road game,” Frese said, addingWallace also missed the team’s season-opening loss at TCU. “She’sthat valuable. She hasbecome a huge partof our team
and our program.”Wallace will undergo an ACL
reconstruction and meniscus transplantafter the season, her fourth left knee sur-gery since her junior year in high school,after re-injuring the knee before the sea-son. Until then, the Roanoke, Va., nativewill continue to take on her self-pro-claimed role as the team’s “hype master,”responsible for energizing and support-ing her teammates.
It’s common to see Wallace stand on thesideline and yell defensive instructionslike an assistant coach, or leap out of herseat when a Terp makes a big play. She’llalso take part in the team’s pregamedrills, clapping her hands and yelling inthe process.
“I’m a very positive and upbeat person,”
Wallace said. “I’m just trying to keep myteammates always positive, keep up thatcheering and be the bench leader. Whenpeople come out of the game and they arestruggling, I try to keep them upbeat.”
Freshman center Yemi Oyefuwa hasgrown accustomed to Wallace’s persist-ent motivation on and off the court.
“Let me just say, the two away games thatshe wasn’t there, we lost,” Oyefuwa said.
Wallace’s role might seem inconse-quential to some, especially on a teamthat boasts two All-American caliber tal-ents in guard Kristi Toliver and forwardMarissa Coleman. But to her teammatesand Frese, the player sometimes dubbed“Little Brenda” is a crucial component of
the Terps’ chemistry. While others, such as Oyefuwa,
center Lynetta Kizer and guardMarah Strickland are always vocal dur-
ing practices, they are still ableto exercise their enthusiasmfor the game on the court.
Wallace’s career is finishedbecause of her troublesome knee. She
played just one season for the Terps:last year, when she averaged five minutesplayed in 12 appearances.
That makes her continued passion forthe program unique.
“She makes every film session,” Fresesaid. “There’s always clips to show ofEmery, of just the energy and enthusiasmshe displays on the bench. She brings itevery single day in practice. You talk abouta player that’s so selfless and completelyabout the team, I mean her career is overand she wouldn’t need to have that energy.”
Wallace, who will remain on scholar-ship after being granted a medical hard-ship waiver, according to Frese, under-stands she won’t be able to contribute tothe team on the floor. So far, her desirefor the team to succeed has overcomethat realization.
“I love these guys,” Wallace said.“They’re like my sisters. They’ve beensupporting me, so now I’m trying to give
all my energy and support to them,because I can’t give it on the court.”
Wallace was on the court last Thursday,if only for a couple minutes, helping theTerps go through warm-ups before theirwin at Georgia Tech. She stood at herusual spot at the high post, dressed in herwhite Terps’ jersey adorned with a hand-written word from each player that sym-bolizes what this season means to them.
She drilled pass after pass to oncomingshooters before taking a seat on the benchbefore tip-off, knowing the Terps neededto beat a tougher-than-normal YellowJacket team in order to stay in the chasefor first place in the ACC.
Wallace stood up and yelled, high-fivedteammates and focused on the game asintensely as ever, once again proving that,although she couldn’t play, this seasonmeans as much to her as anyone else onthe team.
“I realize I can get through anythingright now,” Wallace said. “I’ll do anythingI can for my teammates to help us win.”
Wallace played in just 12 games as a Terp, all lastseason, including this game against Loyola (Md.).
Emery Wallace regularly helps her teammates warm upbefore games despite knowing she won’t play.
“Let me just say, the twoaway games that shewasn’t there, we lost.”
