BALTIMORE Rioters
plunged part of Baltimore
into chaos Monday, torching a
pharmacy, setting police cars
ablaze and throwing bricks at
officers hours after thousands
mourned the man who died
from a severe spinal injury he
suffered in police custody.
The governor declared a
state of emergency and called
in the National Guard to restore order, and Attorney
General Loretta Lynch, in
her first day on the job, said
she would send Justice Department officials to the city
in coming days. A weeklong,
daily curfew was imposed beginning Tuesday from 10 p.m.
to 5 a.m., the mayor said, and
Baltimore public schools announced that they would be
closed on Tuesday. At least 15
officers were hurt, and some
two dozen people were arrested. Two officers remained
hospitalized, police said.
"The National Guard represents the last resort in restoring order," Gov. Larry Hogan told a news conference. "I
have not made this decision
lightly."
Officers wearing helmets
and wielding shields occasionally used pepper spray to
keep the rioters back. For the
most part, though, they relied
on line formations to keep
protesters at bay.
Monday's riot was the latest
flare-up over the mysterious
death of Freddie Gray, whose
fatal encounter with officers
came amid the national debate over police use of force,
especially when black suspects
are involved. Gray was African-American. Police have
declined to specify the races of
the six officers involved in his
arrest, all of whom have been
suspended with pay while
they are under investigation.
Emergency officials were
constantly thwarted as they
tried to restore calm in the
affected parts of the city of
more than 620,000 people.
Firefighters trying to put out a
blaze at a CVS store were hindered by someone who sliced
holes in a hose connected to
a fire hydrant, spraying water
law enforcement.
The 2,500-capacity New Shiloh Baptist church was filled
with mourners. But even the
funeral could not ease mounting tensions.
Police said in a news release
sent while the funeral was
underway that the department had received a "credible
threat" that three notoriously
violent gangs are now working together to "take out" law
enforcement officers.
A small group of mourners
started lining up about two
hours ahead of Monday's
funeral. Placed atop Gray's
body was a white pillow with
a screened picture of him.
A projector aimed at two
screens on the walls showed
the words "Black Lives Matter
& All Lives Matter."
The service lasted nearly two
hours, with dignitaries in attendance including former
Maryland representative and
NAACP leader Kweisi Mfume
and current Maryland Rep.
John Sarbanes.
With the Rev. Jesse Jackson
sitting behind him, the Rev.
Jamal Bryant gave a rousing and spirited eulogy for
Freddie Gray, a message that
received a standing ovation
from the crowded church.
Bryant said Gray's death
would spur further protests,
and he urged those in the audience to join.
"Freddie's death is not in
vain," Bryant said. "After this
day, we're going to keep on
marching. After this day, we're
going to keep demanding justice."

Increasingly, we
want information as soon
as we can get it and we
become impatient when its
not readily available. This
isnt necessarily a bad thing,
as this sentiment often
pushes our society forward,
advancing our technology,
media and culture. But
sometimes this hastened
approach detracts from
present circumstances and
gives rise to misinformation,
such as the 2016 presidential
race.

The New York Times

a questionnaire on April 16
entitled Take Your Hillary

survey helps participants
determine how they feel
about Clintons run for
presidency. Although clearly
created in a playful spirit,
its existence fosters hype
about Clintons contention,
which is seemingly
inappropriate given that no
other Democrats have joined
the race yet. Its true that
early polls show Clinton far
ahead of other prospective
candidates, but again, how
accurate are these polls at
this stage?
Theres also the fact that
President Barack Obama still
has more than half a year
left in office. By focusing too
heavily on the developing
2016 race, the public largely
undermines any attention

Alternative-indie
band
Neutral Milk Hotel emerged
in the 90s with two iconic
albums On Avery Island
and In the Aeroplane Over
the Sea. Since then, the band
took breaks, reunited for
tours, took another break,
and is now touring again.
This time around, though, will
(most likely) be the last.
The band embarked on its
farewell tour just two weeks
ago. It will extend through the
middle of June. Tonight, the
band will perform a sold-out
show at Liberty Hall. Doors
open at 7 p.m., and the show
starts at 8 p.m.
Here are five things you may
not know about Neutral Milk
Hotel:
1. The band formed in
Ruston, La., in the late 80s. It
cites influences such as Arcade
Fire, Franz Ferdinand and
Bright Eyes, among others.
2. Since its inception, the
band has only released two
full-length
albums.
The
first, On Avery Island, was
released in 1996, and the
second, In the Aeroplane
Over the Sea, was released in
1998. The band has performed
in sold-out venues nationwide
with these two albums as
a foundation, according to
Billboard.
3. Following the release
of its second album and the
coinciding tour in 1998, the
band went on hiatus until
2013 nearly a decade and
a half, according to Rolling
Stone.
4. Frontman Jeff Mangum
identifies as a recluse,
according to a Slate article.
The band doesnt conduct
interviews, doesnt allow for
large monitors to broadcast
its
performance
during
larger festival performances
and requests concert-goes
dont photograph or record
performances.
Mangum
toured as a solo artist in 2011-
12 he performed at Liberty
Hall in January 2013.
5. After its worldwide
reunion tour in 2013, the
band announced that it will
tour one last time in 2015. It
announced the tour on its site
along with this message:
dear friends we love you
but its time to say goodbye
for the never ending now to
announce that spring 2015
will be our last tour for the
foreseeable future and so we
extend our deepest gratitude
to all the beautiful people who
came to see us over the last
year.. [...]
wed also like to give thanks
to ms. aurora borealis, father
foam horse, and mr. valentich,
for there[sic] collaborative
contributions to the womb
rume message that made its
way onto this ear area only a
few months ago, but from now
on, all ciphers shall be sealed

SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUIP
CENTENNIAL, Colo. A
prosecutor declared Monday
that two psychiatric exams
found Colorado theater
gunman James Holmes to
be sane as he meticulously
plotted a mass murder,
considering a bomb or
biological warfare before
settling on a shooting so
that he could slaughter more
people.
Boom! District Attorney
George Brauchler said as
he showed pictures of the
victims and the weapons
Holmes used to kill them
on a TV screen. Boom! he
repeated, describing in detail
how bullets pierced organs
and destroyed limbs.
Holmes public defender,
Daniel King, countered that
20 doctors who examined
him in custody as well as the
therapist who saw him before
the shootings all agree he
suffers from schizophrenia, a
psychotic brain disease that
skewed his thoughts and
compelled him to kill.
He was a good kid
who had no record of ever
harming anyone before he
had a psychotic delusion that
compelled him to murder
12 people and wound 70 at a
midnight Batman premiere
nearly three years ago, King
said.
Holmes has pleaded not
guilty by reason of insanity.
His defense hopes jurors
will agree and have him
committed to an institution as
criminally insane for the rest
of his life.
Mental illness can sure
sound like an excuse, but in
this case, its not, King said.
There will be no doubt in
your minds that by the end
of this trial, Mr. Holmes is
severely mentally ill.
Under Colorado law,
Brauchler must prove
Holmes was sane so that he
will instead be executed or
spend the rest of his life in
prison.
Through this door is
horror. Through this door
are bullets, blood, brains
and bodies. Through this
door, one guy who thought
as if he had lost his career,
lost his love life, lost his
purpose, came to execute
a plan, said Brauchler,
standing before a scale
model of the theater.
Four-hundred people
came into a boxlike theater
to be entertained, and one
person came to slaughter
them, the prosecutor said.
Many more people would
have died, but a magazine
on his AR-15 assault rifle
jammed,
leaving
218
bullets unfired, Brauchler
said.
Jurors must eventually
decide whether he was
unable to know right from
wrong because of a mental
illness or defect when he
slipped into the theater,
unleashed tear gas and
tried to empty his weapons
on the crowd. Hes charged
with 166 counts of firstdegree murder, attempted
murder and an explosives
offense for the mayhem he
caused on July 20, 2012.
It remains one of
Americas
deadliest
shootings, and that Holmes
was the lone gunman has
never been in doubt. He
was arrested at the scene,
along with an arsenal of
weapons on his body and
in his car.
Holmes
sat
quietly,
harnessed to the floor by
a cable that ran through
his pants leg as the lawyers
described his emotional
rise and fall.
The prosecutor said the
once-promising doctoral
candidate told his exgirlfriend that he had an
evil plan to kill people,

COMMENTARY
New basketball
apartments will
draw in recruits
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
ansas basketball
already has Allen
Fieldhouse, but now
Bill Self and company have
something else to be excited about a new housing
facility.
Established with the $17.5
million donated to Kansas
Athletics from various donors,
as well as bonds, Marie S. McCarthy Hall will offer private
bedrooms and bathrooms, an
indoor basketball court, pool
tables, a theatre room, meeting
rooms and a dining room.
Those donations will make
all of that possible, and itll
give the Kansas basketball
program another advantage: a
recruiting boost. The exclusive,
basketball-only apartments
should be a massive addition
to a program that is already
one of the best in the nation in
recruiting.
According to a Student
Housing release, construction on the building will be
finished this July.
The University of Kentucky
was the first to revolutionize
the luxury apartment incentive
in 2012. But Caliparis player
mansion isnt quite as luxurious as the one Self will open
up this summer.
Though locations are similar
for both the Kentucky and
Kansas facilities both just a
jaunt away from the practice
facilities there are a few
amenities Kansas offers that
Kentucky doesnt.
Kansas facilities will include
a full-court basketball facility,
whereas Kentucky doesnt
have one at all. McCarthy Hall
will also house a full-fledged
theatre, unlike Kentucky. The
Jayhawk players will live in
individual rooms and private
bathrooms, while players
share a room and bathroom at
Kentucky.
In all, the apartments will
house 66 students, but more
than half of those of those
spots (38) will go to regular
students, adding up to about
$265,000 per tenant. The cost
might sound outlandish, but,
once its built, compounding
the apartments with Allen
Fieldhouse will make Kansas
seemingly irresistible for
recruits.
If Kansas basketball fans
expect the team to pull in
some of the top recruits in
the nation, theyre just going
to have to get over the dollar
figure. With practice and
workouts nearly every single
day, no student-athlete has the
ability to work, study and buy
these amenities for themselves.
Its not as if they arent paying
the University back, either:
theyre the people who put
fans in the 16,300 seats in Allen Fieldhouse for every single
game, and bring in thousands
of dollars in jersey sales each
and every season.
Before you criticize the
dollars being thrown around,
dont forget what the student
athletes, current and future,
represent and all they embody
for the Universitys student
body.
