Lightweight rower and 2014 College graduate Zack Seigel died on Saturday, Jan. 10 after a 15-year struggle with Crohn’s disease and a battle with lymphoma that began in February of 2014.

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the

gastrointestinal tract that can be treated but not cured. Seigel was first diagnosed with Crohn’s at eight years old in 2000. Kurt Seigel, his father, says his son’s medication allowed him to lead “a life just like any other eight-year old.”

However, Crohn’s was always a big part of his life.

“He had his issues from time to time with flares, where he would have to go on some type of steroid or extra medication,” Seigel’s father said.

In 2001, he began attending Camp Oasis, a summer camp

for kids with Crohn’s disease organized by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. His father said that this “created a huge support network.” When Seigel was 12, he met Jessica Leva, his fiancée. Leva says they shared their first kiss when he asked her to the camp dance in 2008 and started officially dating that October. They were set to be married in October of 2015.

“We were married in every single way. Oct. 24, 2015 was just a date,” she said. Leva

says the fact that they both had Crohn’s disease helped them understand and comfort one another. “I was in CHOP for 52 days, and he was by my bedside the entire time,” she said.

In middle school, Seigel “always just pushed through that and played soccer on a very high level on a premier soccer team,” his father said.

Seigel attended La Salle College High School, a Catholic prep school in the Philadelphia area before majoring in history in the College. He rowed in

high school and was on the varsity boat by his sophomore year.

ZACK SEIGEL “He went Seigel was a through high lightweight school all rower high level courses, got great grades and worked his butt off on the river,” his father said. After high school, he was recruited by Princeton, SEE DEATH PAGE 6

Penn pushes back regular decision deadline to offer “more time” for applicants This is the first year the deadline was pushed without particular extenuating circumstances CAROLINE SIMON Staff Reporter

Penn received the highest number of applications in University history this year, following a four-day extension of the regular decision deadline.

Together, the early decision round and the regular decision round produced a total of 37,264 applications, a 3.9 percent increase from last year and a 38.3 percent increase from the admissions cycle five years ago.

This application cycle was unusual in that some applicants had a few extra days to submit their materials. In an email sent on Dec. 30, Penn extended the Jan. 1 regular decision deadline to Jan. 5 for students who had begun the Common Application to Penn but had not completed it.

This year marks the first time the Admissions Office has extended the deadline without extenuating circumstances.

In the past, Penn admissions deadlines have only been extended to compensate for major events, such as Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and widespread Common Application glitches last year.

“I wanted to give students an opportunity to use more time over their school holiday,” Dean of Admissions Eric Furda said in an email.

However, only students who had already added Penn to their college list in the Common Application received the extension. “The outreach was very diSEE REGULAR DECISION PAGE 6

Welcome to Cloud Nine, a chic slopeside cabin in Aspen, Colorado where the elite drink champagne over lunch with celebrities, dance on tables and play credit card roulette, a game where one patron picks up his party’s thousand-dollar tab.

This is where Wharton freshman Garrett Cayton spent his winter break.

“Every day at 2 o’clock they just turn up the music and people start buying Champagne and spraying it everywhere, and all of the adults go down the mountain, rolling over drunk. It’s a lot of fun,” Cayton said.

Penn releases backlogged disciplinary reports The Office of Student Conduct looks toward transparency SOPHIA WITTE Senior Reporter

With the recent release of its disciplinary reports, the Office of Student Conduct moves forward in its efforts to be more transparent and available to the Penn community.

Last week, OSC released the backlogged reports of its disciplinary cases between 2009 and 2014 after a Daily Pennsylvanian article and an editorial highlighted the missing reports.

“It’s really important that our office communicates our information on a more regular basis,” OSC Director Julie Nettleton said. “It is something we will be doing in the future, so the Penn community can expect that.”

The report indicates a rise in academic integrity cases since 2012, while student conduct cases have steadily declined over the years.

Since OSC investigations come out of referrals from students and faculty, the cases often relate to the most widespread concerns on campus each year. The report shows that the number of “indecent sexual assault” cases hit an all-time high in the 2012-2013 year — a peak in the data that may reflect the increasing media exposure on sexual assault in recent years, Nettleton said.

“What’s going on, on campus and nationally, influences how and when and why we get cases, so the context and culture on campus influences what case referrals we get,” Nettleton said.

which Cayton describes as “a very crazy place. People go party in nice restaurants. Everyone eats at Nobu, Cache Cache.

Every store there is a designer store. It’s just completely ridiculous.”

Cayton is among the more modest of the extravagant vacationers. He mentioned one mountain club, of which his family is not a member, which charges a $100,000 entrance fee.

“I don’t know why you’d pay so much money just so you could pay more money to eat there,” he said.

Cayton had a lot to say about the nightlife in Aspen. “For a ski town it’s pretty good,” he said.

“The concert hall there is just a hundred people and we get a lot of big names. They opened up an L.A. club, Bootsy Bellows, and that place is also just really ridiculous. It’s a lot of middleaged guys who spend crazy amounts of money on tables and drinks. Especially on Christmas, it gets packed with celebrities who want to be in the scene.”

Cayton’s parents do not fre-

quent these clubs. “My grandfather is not into being over the top and spending a lot, but that’s a big part of the culture in Aspen.

My parents tried not to raise us that way,” he said. Cayton’s maternal grandfather was not born into money. A Holocaust survivor whose family did not survive the war, he started as a window washer, invested his money and turned pennies into a real estate empire.

Cayton’s more humble family is the exception, not the norm in Aspen. The population, Cayton explained, mostly falls into two categories: the hardcore skiers and the hardcore partiers. “There are no fast food restaurants, [it’s] very concentrated with tourists of a certain population.”

This is certainly not the case in Phillipsburg, N.J., where College freshman Gabrielle Jackson spent her winter break working as a team member at Chick-filA. “The Chick-fil-A opened in March, so I worked there from like day one,” Jackson said. “In terms of skills, I know more and I’m still paid minimum wage despite working there for two years — but let’s not get into

that. They can pay me the same, but legally being over 18 I can work as many hours as I want.”

And that’s what she spent her winter break doing. “My sister worked a 12-hour day, I maxed at eight,” Jackson said. “I worked almost every day.”

Most of Jackson’s work was in the front of the restaurant. “I did register mostly, drive through headset, which makes the drinks and the ice-cream, like the desserts,” Jackson said. “So if you ever go to Chick-fil-A, don’t get a milkshake, because we hate making milkshakes. I did the window, which was cold. We had a jacket and a fan that blows hot air, but it was still cold. I bagged orders and I cleaned.”

Jackson’s winter wasn’t all work and no play. “ I hung out with friends a lot, I spent way too much money at restaurants, especially Chick-fil-A,” she said. “My friends have this thing where we go to Applebee’s halfpriced apps when Applebee’s apps are like 4 dollars or 5 dollars.”

While both live in the quad, Cayton and Jackson each experience a different side of Penn.

“Penn is very frat-centric,”

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

Cayton said. “All the downtowns, anything I get slipped under my door, it’s probably some sort of fraternity. Everything at Penn that I’ve interacted with has been through frat life.”

For Jackson, socializing means getting together with social groups like the Penn Government and Politics Association and hanging out with hallmates in her residential program. She’s not planning to join a sorority and doesn’t go to fraternity parties because she finds them “too impersonal.”

Despite their differing backgrounds, Cayton and Jackson’s perceptions of Penn were remarkably similar — both described their social groups as relatively homogenous. Cayton spends time with a small group of friends who predominantly hail from New York’s Upper East Side and Los Angeles.

Jackson met friends, many of whom are ethnic minorities hailing from working-class families, at a multicultural event before Quaker Days.

Both describe their transition to Penn as eye-opening.

“Before I came to Penn I asked my parents for money, be-

cause I was like, ‘I’m going to be around a lot of rich people, I’m going to need money’ … they didn’t give me money, for the better, I guess. I see a lot of Facebook people going to really expensive restaurants and I’m like, ‘cool, I’m just going to go to Wawa’,” Jackson said.

Cayton’s transition was just the opposite. “My high school was almost completely private, West Side kids, Penn was much more diverse. I have friends who don’t want to go out with me because they like to eat in the dining halls and I like to eat at Chipotle. There’s a big difference between how people approach their social lives, especially at Penn, and that’s something you really have to be aware of,” he said. “Not everyone would want to go to a nice BYO downtown, or, you know, ‘Let’s all plan a vacation trip to Miami over Spring Break’ because that’s not within everyone’s price range and I feel like in high school people didn’t really think that through.”

Penn’s student body is the fifth richest in the world, according to TheRichest.com, an online blog, with 30 percent of Penn families making over $250,000 in annual

income. Meanwhile, 47 percent of the current freshman class receives financial aid with student grants averaging $41,700.

The income disparity on campus “allows different worlds to collide, it allows people to see different lifestyles, maybe bring people together,” Cayton said.

“On the flip side of the coin, I don’t know if the exclusiveness makes people at Penn feel left out or marginalized.”

While the University can’t make this wealth gap disappear, it is working on bridging it.

“There may be students who have to make choices on the types of things they can go to because of the resources they have. We know that there’s a certain percentage of the student population on this campus that doesn’t have to worry about that, but that’s not unlike the world outside of Penn,” Director of Financial Aid at Student Financial Services Joel Carstens said.

“This isn’t something that’s going to be resolved by the University of Pennsylvania. We’re not designed to solve that kind of disparity,” Carstens said.

“What we can do is learn to manage that process.”

Timothy Hamlett still missing amid mental health concerns

The former track and field athlete has not been seen since Dec. 26 DAVID CAHN Staff Reporter

As of Tuesday morning, Teaneck Police confirmed that College junior Timothy Hamlett TIMOTHY is still missing HAMLETT since he was The Hamlett last seen on family hired a Dec. 26. As private temperatures investigator dipped below freezing in New York City, Hamlett’s family hired a private investigator to help find the missing former track and field athlete. Hamlett’s mother expressed concern that her son could be disoriented and in danger due to the weather. Medical testing immediately before his disappearance indicated the possibility of a brain cyst, though this had not been confirmed.

Hamlett, a Teaneck, N.J., native, was last confirmed seen near the George Washington Bridge in the Washington Heights area of New York City. On the morning of his disappearance, Hamlett underwent a pituitary gland analysis to test for a brain cyst previously diagnosed from an MRI,

his mother, Katherine Hamlett, confirmed. His mother said the final diagnosis is still unclear at this time.

Hamlett’s mother said his behavior had changed noticeably starting in Sept. 2013. She believes the change might be connected to Hamlett’s use of athletic supplements, which she estimated began that spring.

He used “all different types of supplements,” his mother said.

“At one point, at least from what we can tell, maybe there were two or three in a day, just a lot.” Hamlett purchased the supplements, which are legal, online using Amazon and eBay, she said.

Hamlett was on a leave of absence from Penn during the fall semester following criminal charges filed against him in September for a brick-throwing vandalism incident four months prior. The case is currently pending Grand Jury hearing, Maureen Parenta of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Hamlett’s mother believes his drug use was involved in his behavior change because his neuropsychiatrist had experience with other patients with brain toxicity resulting from athletic supplement use. She was seeking additional help from experts in the medical field, but those efforts are on hold while the family searches for her son.

“We are pulling out all the stops to find our son,” Hamlett’s

mother said.

She said she has been “constantly in contact” with the police and the family has put together its own search team, which is working in coordination with the police to find Hamlett.

The family sent a truck to drive around New York City with a speaker, projecting information about Hamlett’s disappearance.

So far, the Hamlett family search team has uncovered a number of leads into finding the 20-year-old, which Hamlett’s mother said the police are currently investigating.

At 2:24 a.m. on Dec. 31, both of Hamlett’s parents received phone calls from a blocked number. His mother said the phone calls were silent and the police are currently trying to track the location of the blocked caller’s phone.

Hamlett’s mother said the police have located his cell phone and wallet. She was able to identify the general area of his phone and then tracked the IP address from a recent Gmail login. The police were soon granted a warrant to enter the address. When the police went to the apartment, she said, they found a couple of young people had found the cell phone and wallet.

They had replaced the SIM card, and their mother was using the phone. They pointed the police to the park adjacent to P.S. 173 at 306 Fort Washington Avenue, where they say they found

the phone and wallet unattended.

Because the wallet still had $10 in it, Hamlett’s mother said the police do not suspect foul play.

When the family went “dumpster diving” in the park, they found “additional contents from his wallet” including an ATM card, his mother’s business card, a university card and three bus tickets from last year.

On Jan. 6, with no new information on the former athlete’s whereabouts except for unverified spottings, the Hamlett family hired Private Investigator Angel Martinez to assist in the search.

However, they say the Teaneck Police Department has not cooperated with their private investigator.

“I have not been able to get any assistance from them on the matter,” Martinez said. “I asked them a million questions to help them with the investigation.”

As a former NYPD detective, however, Martinez was hesitant to criticize the police, saying he does not “know what’s going on in their case.” Still, he believes, “If there’s no criminal investigation, they should be working with outside sources.”

Teaneck Police Department declined to comment on the investigation.

Anyone who has seen or has any information regarding Hamlett’s whereabouts should contact authorities at (917) 686-0087 or (201) 406-6990.

The Interfraternity Council will also be hosting an information session for all interested students today, January 14th, at 3:30pm in Meyerson B1.

All eligible undergraduate students are welcome, regardless of race, creed, economic status, sexual orientation, nationality or ethnicity.

s reported in The Daily Pennsylvanian on Jan. 9, the Phi Delta Theta fraternity placed its Pennsylvania Zeta chapter on probation and prescribed mandatory sensitivity training for its members following a controversy which arose around a Christmas photo released by the chapter that included members posing with an inflatable sex doll meant to resemble a black woman.

In judging the appropriateness of this outcome, the seemingly mundane details matter. It is especially critical — in forming an opinion about whether the probation is “fair” — to note that the probation and mandatory programming, which were imposed upon the chapter, were imposed by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and not by the University of Pennsylvania. This matters because universities have an at-times-enforceable obligation to, in the name of academic and intellectual freedom, refrain from punishing unpopular, distasteful and offensive expres-

TALKING BACKWARD | Why the details matter in the Phi Delt sanctions sion which does not rise to the legal definition of harassment.

This tolerance is a necessary precondition for the type of open enquiry which a university must seek to foster. It would, therefore, have been improper for the University to officially express the view that Phi Delt’s actions were wrong by sanc-

phies, and may profess certain institutional values which they may sanction members for violating or even require that members actively affirm.

Phi Delta Theta, in fact, does profess such institutional values. Two of the organization’s bedrock principles, according to its website, are “the

If, however, they [Phi Delta Theta national headquarters] merely felt compelled to mollify critics and to be seen as doing something to address claims of racial intolerance … then their decision was cowardly … .” tioning the chapter because it is improper for a university to take institutional positions on what the nature of moral right and wrong are. Private membership organizations, such as fraternities, on the other hand, have no such obligation to abstain from adopting institutional philoso-

acquirement individually of a high degree of mental culture, and the attainment personally of a high standard of morality.” Whatever one may think about the photo in question, it is certainly not an unreasonable conclusion that posing with a sex toy in a distributed photo

fails to uphold these values.

Unlike a university, it is not an essential part of a fraternity’s mission to create an environment which is as conducive as possible to moral philosophizing and therefore it is not wrong of them to make definitive statements about what behaviors are or are not moral and to hold their members to those beliefs.

Members can, of course, always choose to leave the organization if they find that its values are irreconcilable with their own.

Because of its necessary commitment to open intellectual enquiry, for a university to force a student to make the same choice would be deplorable — it does happen, but that’s another story altogether — but for the reason that it was Phi Delta Theta, and not the University of Pennsylvania that imposed the sanction, there is nothing fundamentally unjust about the probation which Penn’s Phi Delt chapter now faces.

The story doesn’t end there.

In making decisions like this, motivations matter a great deal.

Though they will probably only ever be known by the individuals at Phi Delta Theta national headquarters who made the call to sanction Penn’s chapter, the true reasons for deciding to do so have a great bearing on the fairness of the sanction. If the fraternity’s national leadership truly felt that the values for which their organization stands were breached, then the decision to sanction was the correct one. If, however, they merely felt compelled to mollify critics and to be seen as doing something to address claims of racial intolerance within the Greek system, then their decision was cowardly, and their choice to denounce and punish the actions of Penn’s chapter was an unjust one. Though the punishments imposed are hardly earthshattering, to punish members who are not earnestly believed to be wrongdoers for the sake of public relations would be a reprehensible act of scapegoating.

We will probably never know whether the sanction was a sincere expression of

ALEC WARD genuinely-held beliefs about the Pennsylvania Zeta chapter’s action or a spineless attempt to placate critics at the expense of the chapter members, and so an inevitable margin of uncertainty will remain in any goodfaith appraisal of the fraternity’s choices. Given the information currently available, however, indications are that the national fraternity’s decision was justifiable.

s an Indian-American, I am often jokingly asked by some of my semi-culturally aware friends if I plan on having an arranged marriage. While it is true that arranged marriages still are common in India and in the Indian-American community, every family follows traditions to a different extent.

Right now, marriage has yet to cross my mind. But when I think about the current dating and marriage sphere in the United States, an overwhelming majority of people I know, both Indian and not, have been introduced to their significant others through dating apps and websites.

Online dating, the experience of searching for a romantic connection on the internet, has been widely scrutinized because it challenges what is considered socially acceptable as a new generation adopts a new way of doing something. Numerous studies have claimed to

TWO CENTS | Online dating might not be an entirely revolutionary concept find that online dating users unable to commit to relationships is a sign that young people are becoming alarmingly fickle in their expectations.

Many of the apps or websites have their users fill out extensive questionnaires and then attempt to match them with partners based on criteria the users have indicated. Unlike “traditional” dating or dating in “real life,” in which connections can involve introductions and be more spontaneous, online dating is mostly anonymous and has the potential to be more reliable.

My own sister, for instance, has kept active profiles on several online dating websites.

She will browse through the countless listings, intending to find her significant other and potential husband through this medium. I wonder though if her method is any different from the one my parents and grandparents used, setting aside technological advancements of course.

A clarification of arranged marriage is necessary. It has different definitions and has changed over time like any social institution, but for this ar-

arranged marriage and online dating have a lot in common and can even overlap at times.

For those who may be taken aback by the presumption that I could compare a laughably archaic relic of 19th century society and prior to their beloved OkCupid profile, I point to the presence of a matchmaker.

Whether it be your parents or a computer program, someone is helping you decide if that person on the other end might be the one for you.

In what I have termed

above “traditional” or “conventional” dating, the emphasis is on the chance encounter, the mutual acquaintance and the chemistry. It can be said that online dating has none of those and instead returns us to the idea of establishing criteria. Another interesting observation to make, however, is that neither online dating nor arranged marriages result in loveless partnerships. The most important perceived benefit of traditional dating is the couple’s physical interaction, but unless you’re imagining an alternate universe similar to “Her” — Spike Jonze’s 2013 sci-fi romance film — any successful relationship will have good chemistry.

Online dating has received plenty of criticism, and it is warranted. But careful distinction should be made between apps like Tinder and websites like Match.com. The studies that show our generation as unable to commit to relationships pick subjects who are not

Wharton conference seeks discourse on reopened trade with Cuba

KATE JEON / NEWS DESIGN EDITOR

Obama announced last month that the U.S. will resume trade with Cuba

in New York City, a conference that will bring together leading business and legal experts to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with doing business in Cuba.

The decision to hold the Summit came after the Dec. 17 announcement

by President Barack Obama that the U.S. would move to normalize relations with Cuba and lift the trade embargo that has been in place since 1962 .

Knowledge@Wharton, Wharton’s online magazine; the

BRYN FERGUSON Staff Reporter

Wharton is playing its own role in recent U.S. policy changes by facilitating discourse surrounding the recently-announced reopening of Cuban trade.

On April 1, Wharton will host the Cuba Opportunity Summit

Lauder Institute, the dual degree graduate-level program between Wharton and the College; and the event consulting group Momentum are collaborating to organize the Summit.

The decision to put together a Summit came almost immediately after Obama’s announcement. “I see it as part of

Wharton’s mission to help business people around the world to find out what it will mean when business relations between the U.S. and Cuba are normalized,” Editor-in-Chief of Knowledge@ Wharton and Summit host Mukul Pandya said.

Director of the Lauder Institute, Wharton Management Professor and co-chair of the Summit Mauro F. Guillén stressed the significance of the recent political developments. “A part of the world that was closed is now opening up,” Guillén said.

“Cuba is so close to the U.S. that this whole thing is bound to have a lot of impact.”

President and CEO of the major Summit sponsor Tres Mares Group and 1997 College and Wharton graduate Faquiry Diaz Cala will co-chair the Summit.

“A lot of the information [about the situation] available now has been superfluous,” Diaz Cala said. “Wharton will engage in very in-depth research about the current regulations and the opportunities available.”

Coincidentally, 15 graduate students in the Lauder Institute program traveled to Cuba on a

week-long educational trip over winter break, which was organized well before the policy changes were announced. The students had the opportunity to meet with local economists, urban planners, Cuban diplomats and the head of the U.S. Interests Section, which functions as a de facto embassy in Cuba, though a real embassy will open once trade with the nation is normalized. While abroad, the students gained perspective on how the upcoming governmental negotiations will impact Cubans’ lives.

A first-year Lauder Institute student and Cuba trip participant Pjeter Dushku recognizes Wharton’s potential impact. “There is a lot of need for discussion about business in Cuba right now. 86 percent of enterprise [in Cuba] is from the government,” Dushku said. “A very small percentage of business comes from the private sector.”

Guillén said that the Summit organizers hope to bring Cubans — not just representatives from American companies and the U.S. government — to the conference. “The potential from both sides is so huge. We want

this to be a two-way street,” he said.

The organizers also hope to hold a second Summit in Havana later this year.

The names of the corporations and government officials who will speak at the Summit have not yet been confirmed, although Diaz Cala said that they would like to have representatives from the State Department, the Department of Commerce and from the White House.

The Summit organizers have also secured a major media sponsorship, whose name will be released on Wednesday, Diaz Cala confirmed.

However, both students and Summit organizers understand that they must remain cautiously optimistic about the current political rhetoric and media hype surrounding the policy change.

Diaz Cala noted that tangible change will be gradual. “The opportunity will become real once the administration decides to change the policy and once the Cubans have decided to accept the policies. We have to figure out where we stand and go one step at a time.”

DEATH>> PAGE 1 Cornell and Penn for rowing.

Seigel rowed for his first two and a half years at Penn, and his father said that the rowing team has “been with him through a lot.” Many of his teammates on the lightweight rowing team were planning to be his groomsmen at his upcoming wedding.

During the summer of 2011, he rowed for PennAC — a club on boathouse row and won a gold medal in the Canadian Henley, which is “as prestigious as you can get in the rowing world,” his father said.

While Seigel was at Penn, Leva visited him consistently. “I was at University of Penn every weekend. People thought I went to the University of Penn basically,” she said.

“We were proud when he graduated last year and saddened to hear of his death,” Dennis DeTurck, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said in a statement.

In February of 2014, Seigel

was diagnosed with lymphoma. His family is not sure as to whether his Crohn’s disease medication may have caused the lymphoma. He went into remission after a stem cell transfer over the summer. However, he relapsed in early October, according to his father, and “has fought that until this past weekend.”

“The family would like to thank the staff of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, especially the Abramson Cancer Center, Rhoads 3, 6 and 7, and Founders 9 MICU for their compassion and kindness during his illness and final hours,” the family said in a statement.

Camp Oasis has set up a website to accept donations to the camp in Seigel’s memory. The family has requested donations in lieu of flowers.

The viewing will be at St. Alphonsus Catholic at 33 Conwell Drive in Maple Glen, Pa., on Wednesday at 6 p.m. and Thursday at 10 a.m. The funeral will be held on Thursday at 11 a.m.

rected,” Furda said.

The later deadline may persist in the future. “I am examining what date makes the most sense for the regular decision deadline as I want to move away from a date when high schools and the University are closed,” Furda said.

Penn was not the only school to extend its application deadline.

Dartmouth College, Vanderbilt University and the University of Chicago also provided applicants with additional time to submit materials.

Dartmouth, the only other Ivy League university to extend its deadline, allowed applicants to submit materials until Jan. 6. According to an email sent to Dartmouth applicants on Dec. 23, the deadline was moved in order to assist students having trouble submitting materials and to allow students to balance holiday plans and college applications.

Several other schools made the same decision. In an email sent to

applicants on Dec. 27, the University of Chicago extended its deadline to Jan. 5 “in honor of the New Year.”

“The holidays are a time to enjoy the company of friends and family, maybe sleep in, and eat cookie after delicious cookie. We hope you enjoy yourself this holiday season and take these extra days to relax a bit,” the U. Chicago admissions office said in the email.

Vanderbilt also extended its deadline to Jan. 5, but did not provide a reason in its email to applicants.

Bev Taylor, founder of The Ivy Coach, a New York-based college consulting firm, believes that colleges extended their deadlines in order to attract more applications and ultimately drive down acceptance rates.

“It’s a strategic move on the colleges’ part,” she said.

However, Taylor does not criticize the decision, since it gives students much-needed time to complete their applications.

“It’s a good move for students,

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM it’s a good move for the colleges,” she added.

Penn’s hike in applicants could also be attributed to an increase in exposure. In recent months, Penn has been featured prominently on several rankings lists and has been named the nation’s top party school and biggest producer of billionaires. Penn’s party scene was also the subject of a widely circulated New Republic article.

Furda said that Penn’s performance on rankings lists could have contributed to the rise in applications by increasing awareness

of the University among college applicants.

For Penn, the increase in application numbers this year will likely lead to a record-low acceptance rate, following the trend of decreasing admission rates in previous years.

“Admissions officers have begun the full evaluation process of the regular decision applicant pool which will take place over the next few months,” Furda said. “Penn along with the other members of the Ivy League will post decisions on March 31 at 5 p.m.”

Journalist and IAA clash after miscommunication

The IAA communicated with Chris Hedges through a third-party firm ELLIE SCHROEDER Staff Reporter

When Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges received an email opening with the words “Speaking Invitation,” he penciled a trip to Penn into his calendar to speak at the International Affairs Association’s peace conference.

Soon after, he published an article entitled “ISIS — the New Israel,” and days later was informed that he was not invited. The lecture agency which set up the event forwarded him an email from the IAA saying that he would “not be a suitable fit for our upcoming peace conference.” In response, Hedges denounced the IAA for its conduct in his online column.

However, statements from Hedges, the IAA and Senior vice president at American Program Bureau Bob Davis, who managed the communication between the IAA and Hedges, suggest the conflict could be boiled down to deficient communication.

The IAA did not correspond directly with Hedges, instead working through APB, a third-party agency that connects organizations with speakers. This was the

Nettleton also qualified the findings of OSC’s reports, explaining that the data does not always reflect the disciplinary trends across campus.

IAA’s first time using the agency.

APB issued a formal invitation to the IAA’s peace conference to Hedges on behalf of the student organization, while the IAA claims to have been unaware that he had been formally invited.

On Nov. 21, Hedges received a formal invitation to speak at the conference on a document listing dates, times and compensation through APB, which he accepted through his agent.

The IAA, however, did not sign a contract with Hedges or APB. “From our perspective, we haven’t invited him, and we haven’t signed a contract,” IAA president Akhilesh Goswami said.

Davis said that the IAA invited Hedges to the conference and that his acceptance of their invitation constituted a contract in the context of the industry, even though the IAA never signed a contract.

“They made an offer, which became a binding offer once Hedges agreed,” Davis said.

He attributed the conflict to a misunderstanding, suggesting that students may not fully understand the nature of such negotiations.

“There is no question in my mind that the students that I talked to were genuine, and my feeling is that they were inexperienced in doing what they were doing and therefore didn’t understanding what they were doing,” Davis

“For instance, if several students are involved with just one incident, one case can really skew the data for a given year,” Nettleton said. “This type of data will never tell the whole story, but the report is definitely one of the pieces of information that we use to determine whether we are achieving a certain goal and what areas we need to focus on.”

The report excludes the inci-

said.

However, Hedges asserted that the email sent to APB by a member of the IAA made it clear that his ISIS article was the main reason he was asked not to come to Penn.

“We’re sorry to inform you that we don’t think that Chris Hedges would be a suitable fit for our upcoming peace conference,” the IAA member’s email to the agency said. “We’re saying this in light of a recent article he’s written in which he compares the organization ISIS to Israel.”

“I don’t know how they can claim that the ISIS article did not influence their decision,” Hedges said.

In his article denouncing the IAA, Hedges cited their decision as part of the larger tendency at U.S. universities to silence speakers who do not read from the “approved script” with respect to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Goswami, however, said that Hedges’ article was only one of many factors in their decision and that the article was part of their consideration, but not the deciding factor.

“We look at every aspect of potential speakers,” said Goswami.

“The misinterpretation was that it was just this one article.”

This statement contradicts the IAA’s response to Hedges’ denun-

dents that were brought to OSC but never became official cases.

After consulting with the office about the process of an investigation, many students and faculty members decide against pushing for a formal case, Nettleton said.

“We are a resource to faculty and students, but we don’t force them to utilize the resource and turn the incident into a case,” Nettleton said.

The office looks to provide more privacy for patients JODY FREINKEL Seinor Reporter

On Tuesday, Counseling and Psychological Services officially opened its new facilities at 3624 Market Street.

Although the new office is further from the heart of campus than CAPS’s previous location at 36th and Walnut streets, CAPS Director Bill Alexander hopes the distance will afford CAPS’s clients more privacy rather than alienating them from its services.

The new location is 0.3 miles — a six-minute walk, according to Google Maps — from the old location, which CAPS was forced to vacate when plans to build the Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics was announced last January.

Alexander is pleased that students will have more anonymity when they visit the new location, though he acknowledged the “double-edged sword” of wanting to both be more open about mental health treatment

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

CAPS relocates to 3642 Market St.

and wanting to afford clients privacy. Penn Undergraduate Health Coalition Co-Chair Julie Bittar, a College junior, also sees the increased distance as a way to make students “more comfortable seeking help.” She is encouraged by the increase in space for group therapy because she has found that students have generally positive feedback for CAPS groups.

3624 Market Street, which is diagonally across the street from Student Health Services, is 25 percent bigger than CAPS’s old facilities and has 300 percent more space for group meetings.

The yellow-walled reception area leads into a large community room, one of the most distinctive new features. The room is still under construction but will have movable partitions that can separate it into four smaller rooms.

Two smaller meeting rooms toward the back of the new facility will provide additional group space, and associate directors’ offices were designed to be large enough to accommodate their meetings. Previously, CAPS lacked even a room large enough to seat its entire staff at once, ac-

cording to Alexander.

CAPS’s technology has also been upgraded. Student clients will be given an iPad to complete electronic forms upon check-in, according to University Life IT Technical Director Mary Spada.

The office will have a total of 14 iPads, all outfitted with privacy screens that should allow for more discretion than the upright kiosks at the old location, Spada said.

The community room will have interactive screens, and the smaller group rooms will have wall-mounted screens that connect to desktop computers so that clinicians can present to groups more easily than with the projectors in CAPS’s old group rooms.

Mental Health Task Force Co-Chair Tony Rostain said that the task force has been “eager to see more resources given to CAPS,” though it will not present official recommendations until next month. The decision to move CAPS from its old location predated the creation of the task force, but Rostain said he is happy to see steps taken toward destigmatizing care and making it more accessible.

The new location’s nearness

to SHS and to Penn Behavioral Health — psychiatric outpatient facilities that are located in the SHS building — could simplify connections and care between the offices, he noted.

Not everyone is convinced that the move will bring positive change to CAPS, though.

PUHC representative and College senior Elana Stern, a member of the Green Ribbon Move-

ment, said she still wants to see CAPS focus further in reducing its “unconscionably long wait times” for initial appointments and on improving intake screening. While she is excited to see the new location, she said that no amount of technology can substitute for high-quality services.

The Office of the Provost authorized the addition of four new full-time staffers for CAPS last

Serving

year — there are a total of 42.5 clinicians, which includes parttime staff, at the new location — but the move is not expected to have a direct impact on wait times for initial appointments.

The Provost wanted CAPS to have more space to allow for personnel expansion in the future, Alexander said, but beyond last year’s hires there are no immediate plans to add more clinicians.

PRINCETON – Last season, Penn women’s basketball went on the road and ended Princeton’s season, upsetting the Tigers to win the Ivy League title.

In their return trip to Jadwin Gym, the Quakers weren’t as fortunate.

No. 22 Princeton extended its undefeated season into Ivy play, dispatching the Red and Blue, 83-54, in an inauspicious start to the defending Ivy League champions’ title defense.

The Tigers (17-0, 1-0 Ivy) came into the game with a flawless start to the season, winning each of their nonconference games. With its last regular season loss coming against Mike 34 McLaughlin’s squad, Princeton easily avenged STseason’s disappointment after trouncing their last non-Ivy foes.

“We did bring [last year’s loss] up before the game,” Princeton senior captain Blake Dietrick said. “It was just kind of a ‘remember that feel24.6% ing.’ for you are getting your Sunday afternoon FilmRemember polledwhat youwe’ve to fibeen nd working out how this whole offseason and don’t let one team stand movie fixes.

From The Daily Pennsylvanian’s sports blog, THE BUZZ It isn’t every year that Penn women’s basketball wins the Big 5 title. In fact, it had never happened before in the 36year history of the Big 5.

That all changed over winter break as a Renee Busch three-pointer sealed a win over Temple for the Quakers with 25.1 seconds left.

With the 52-50 victory, the Quakers set six school records — including their first 3-0 start in Big 5 play, first four-game Big 5 winning streak and their most Big 5 wins in a season.

As always, it started and ended with the stifling Penn defense that has been a defining characteristic in wins this season. The Quakers held the Owls (7-10, 1-3 Big 5) to 26.8 percent shooting from the field, making up for their 17 turnovers.

It was just the most recent achievement in the Mike McLaughlin era, but given his propensity to bring in top-tier Borrow from Library talent year after year and continually build off of past seaDon't Watch Movies sons, it isn’t too surprising.

Last season saw the Quakers win two Big 5 games for Theaters only the second time in program history.

Middling winter break results at Midlands for Red and Blue SPORTS | Red and Blue also

fall to No. 13 Iowa State

BY THOMAS MUNSON Associate Sports Editor It’s a new year with a new lineup for Penn wrestling, yet the Red and Blue’s results were similarly lackluster to what was seen from the team before winter break.

Following a mediocre performance at the prestigious Midlands Championships, one highlighted by the performances of several seniors, the Quakers under-impressed in their dual meet with Iowa State.

With a 14th place finish out of 51 teams, the Quakers’ performance during their trip to Illinois was neither impressive nor embarrassing.

Penn’s top point scorer was senior Lorenzo Thomas, who was seeded first in the 184-pound weight class at Midlands. For most of the day, he performed to expectations, winning his first four matches en

route to the finals, including a 7-5 victory over North Dakota State’s Hayden Zillmer, who was ranked seventh in the country.

However, that would be the end of Thomas’ success for the rest of winter break. The Quakers’ captain fell 13-5 to Jack Dechow of Old Dominion in the finals. After the disappointing loss, Thomas did not compete in Penn’s 41-3 dual meet loss to 13th-ranked Iowa State on Jan. 11.

Sophomore Caleb Richardson continued his string of strong performances at Midlands with an eighth-place podium finish. Most impressive was his victory over nationally ranked Geoffrey Alexander of Maryland in the round of twelve.

With yet another quality performance, Richardson – a 2014 NCAA qualifier – definitely improved his stock in pursuit of his second-straight bid to the NCAA championships.

Another highlight of the Midlands Championships was a strong showing by senior Brad Wukie, a NCAA qualifier in the 2013-14 season. The tournament was

the senior grappler’s debut for the 201415 season in the 174-pound weight class, as Wukie was forced to sit out this fall because he only had one remaining semester of eligibility at Penn.

While Wukie would lost his first match at Midlands, he represented the team’s only individual victory in the Cyclone’s blowout of the Quakers.

In the Iowa State dual, Wukie defeated ninth-ranked Tanner Weatherspoon 3-2.

With the toughest competition still ahead for the Quakers, the senior should lend the team some much needed spark.

Senior Canaan Bethea also returned to action after sitting out the fall semester due to limited eligibility. The 197-pounder won the Franklin and Marshall Open after dropping his two matches at the Midlands.

The Quakers will have a chance to bounce back in home meets against Lock Haven and Army at the Palestra on Saturday, the final two dual meets before conference play begins against Cornell on Jan. 24 in Ithaca.

HUNTER MARTIN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Sophomore 133-pounder Caleb Richardson finished eighth at the midlands championships.

The 2014 NCAA qualifier continued his successful season as he again finished on the podium.

PENN 96, PRINCETON 56

Allen on hot seat after loss to Princeton STEVEN TYDINGS

T

he clock is ticking for Jerome Allen.

Penn basketball is 4-8 this season, a subpar record in its own right. But more importantly, the squad is 0-1 in conference. That’s where the games truly matter, and starting out 2015 with yet another loss to Princeton is bad news for the Red and Blue, especially with a second half collapse like the one seen on Saturday.

After all, it’s not like this season is different from the last two.

2012-13 began with a 2-13 start, and the Quakers stumbled to 6-8 in conference. Penn started

2-11 in 2013-14 before the Quakers beat Princeton for just the second time under Allen. However, that win was an exception – not the rule – for the Red and Blue’s season, as the squad went 5-9 in conference.

And when was the last time a Penn coach finished under .500 in Ivy League play in two consecutive years?

Never.

After a half season as interim coach, Allen was faced with the unenviable task of rebuilding a program that had finished in the bottom half of the league in consecutive seasons.

And for two years, he seemed likely to bring Penn back to the promised land of the NCAA Tournament with Harvard narrowly holding off the secondplace Quakers for the Ivy title in Allen’s second full season.

But the past two seasons haven’t gone nearly as smoothly.

This year’s squad is much different than last season’s, with 10 players having left the program due to either graduation or other reasons. With that in mind, expectations are certainly much lower for this team than in years past (the 2013-14 team was picked to finish second in the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll).

Even with the loss to Princeton, it isn’t hard to see progress being made this season, including the squad’s first three-game win streak in three years.

On top of that, Penn has a fine recruiting class coming in next season to join a group that has won a combined four Ivy League Rookie of the Week awards already. And the team will still have current starters Tony Hicks, Darien Nelson-Henry and Matt

Howard for 2015-16.

But at some point, progress will mean more than a few nonconference wins or awards handed out via a conference press release. Progress needs to be defined by winning.

Winning isn’t just outscoring your opponents — although that is pretty essential. It’s about outplaying your opponents. Outhustling your opponents. Outcoaching your opponents.

For three straight years, it appears that other Ivy League squads are better suited to win than Penn. Columbia has progressed like any underclassmenheavy squad would. Harvard is still at the top of the league. Yale has become less reliant on Justin Sears alone and brings a more well-rounded core to the court.

Even Cornell and Brown are finding ways to win games de-

spite their leading scorers from a year ago having left their respective programs or graduated.

And with those squads all finding ways to make progress and compete for position in the Ancient Eight, it becomes essential that Penn defeat Princeton, its chief rival as well as a young squad that is ripe (or more ripe than other Ivy squads) for the picking.

But the Quakers couldn’t do that on Saturday. They lost at Princeton again, letting a 15-point lead slip away despite 18 points apiece from the team’s junior stars in Hicks and NelsonHenry.

The loss seemed to follow the same formula of the last two seasons as well. The team relied on Hicks at the end, yet he couldn’t get a clutch shot to fall while the team’s foul trouble came back to

bite the Quakers. You won’t win many games when your opponent shoots 29 more free throws than you.

When this season comes to a close after Penn’s second meeting with Princeton, everyone will have a clearer picture of the Red and Blue. Fans, alums, donors and, most importantly, Athletic Director Grace Calhoun will be able to see if the Quakers have finally made progress after three years of bumps in the road.

But with that 0-1 start to Ivy play and a three-game losing streak to boot, things are trending in the wrong direction, placing Jerome Allen squarely on the hot seat.

Penn blows 15-point lead to Tigers, drops Ivy opener

SPORTS | Quakers come

back with Niagara win

BY RILEY STEELE Senior Sports Editor-elect Everything was in place for Penn basketball to set the tone for the remainder of Ivy League play, to capture a win over its biggest rival in an arena that has been a house of horrors for over half a decade.

But suddenly, the opportunity was gone. Slowly and steadily, it became clearer that the Red and Blue would not replicate their win against the Tigers from last January.

Despite building up a 15-point lead midway through the second half, Penn basketball let its Ivy League opener slip away on Saturday night, crumbling down the stretch and falling to Princeton, 78-74.

Due in large part to a 13-0 run that bridged the first and second halves, the Red and Blue seemed poised to steal their first win at Jadwin Gym since 2008-09. But the Tigers (7-9, 1-0 Ivy) man-

aged to slowly pick away at the Quakers’ lead as Penn’s offense suddenly went missing, whittling a double-digit deficit into a threepoint lead with four minutes remaining.

“I just think, offensively, we stopped play,” coach Jerome Allen said. “We got into a lot of one-on-one, we stopped screening and stopped being aggressive.

They were tougher than we were.

“I thought that they started making shots, and we didn’t respond to it.”

With the score knotted at 67 apiece down the stretch, Princeton freshman guard Amir Bell hit a layup in transition and was fouled. After cashing in on the charity stripe, Penn scored four straight points of its own to recapture the lead with 3:02 to go.

Unfortunately for the Quakers, it was the final time the Red and Blue would lead on Saturday night. After two scoreless minutes, Princeton guard Henry Caruso hit two free throws with 1:01 remaining to give the Tigers the lead.

After junior guard Tony Hicks missed a three with 38 seconds

ILANA WURMAN/SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

Junior guard Tony Hicks scored 18 points against Princeton on Saturday but failed to get off a potential tying shot late in the game, sealing the loss for Penn.

to play, Princeton pushed its lead to three from the free-throw line with 22 seconds to play. Trailing by three, Allen didn’t call a timeout and allowed the Quakers to run their offense.

With 11 seconds left in the game, Hicks — who scored 18 points on seven of 16 shooting — attempted to tie the game. But he lost control of his three-point attempt and was whistled for a travel when he attempted to corral the loose ball. From there, the Tigers sealed the game from the charity stripe.

“It’s easy to look for excuses as to why you don’t get it done,” Allen said. “Everything starts with me, but with that being said, we came here to win.

“We simply didn’t get it done.

We stopped playing.”

Given the first 28 minutes of play, the loss is difficult for Penn to swallow. Despite battling foul trouble throughout the entire first half, the Red and Blue vaulted ahead with six straight points before the half to take a 41-36 lead.

And the run didn’t end there.

After Hicks’ 45-foot halfcourt

buzzer beater to end the first period, the Red and Blue stayed hot in the second half, scoring the first seven points after the break to open up a 48-36 lead.

“The game is 40 minutes long and we knew that coming in, so I can’t praise them for how well they played in the first 30 minutes,” Allen said.

Penn was back in action on Tuesday night in one of the team’s final nonconference matchups of the season. On the road against Niagara — one of the only seven teams the Quakers took down in 2013-14 — Hicks notched 18 points for the second straight game to help the Red and Blue

rebound from their crushing loss on Saturday with a 67-56 win.

The Red and Blue (4-8, 0-1) were boosted by 11 points from sophomore guard Matt Howard and 12 points from senior forward Greg Louis. A 15-3 run midway through the second half helped Penn overcome a poor shooting first half — the Quakers made only eight of 25 shots in the opening 20 minutes — and the squad clinched its second straight win over the Purple Eagles (3-12).

The Red and Blue will next be in action in their first home game since Dec. 9, taking on Villanova in their penultimate Big 5 game of the season Saturday at the Palestra.

Quakers migrate south for training-filled break

Penn clinches Big 5 title, falls to No. 22 Princeton

Winter woes highlighted by late Princeton loss

Lackluster showings across the board

Foreign forays and firstranked foes

Over winter break the Penn men’s and women’s swimming teams traveled to Boca Raton, Fla., for their annual training trip. The 10-day trip’s 21 practices are the peak of aerobic training for both team’s five-month-long seasons.

Shortly after returning to balmy Philadelphia, both teams trekked to Hanover , N.H. on Jan. 10 to race conference foes Yale and Dartmouth. Both the men and women fell to the Elis, by scores of 82217 and 112.5-187.5, respectively. While the women soundly defeated Dartmouth 216-84, the men also fought their way to a 169-130 win. Heading into this weekend’s tri-meet against Brown and Harvard, the men are 2-4 and 1-4 in Ivy play while the women are 3-3, 2-3 Ivy.

For Penn women’s basketball, the break was bookended with two tough defeats. The first came on the road to Drexel on Dec. 20, just days after most students finished up with finals. The second came less than a week ago, as the undefeated and nationally ranked Princeton Tigers overwhelmed the Red and Blue, 83-54.

However, the middle of the break yielded three strong home wins for the Quakers, including a thrilling 52-50 win over Temple courtesy of a late three from senior guard Renee Busch that gave the program its first Big 5 championship in school history.

The holiday season was not kind to Penn men’s basketball.

In their four road matches over winter break, the Red and Blue won one of four games, bringing their record to 4-8 on the season. The three-game losing streak directly followed a three-game winning streak and potential turning point in the season for the Quakers.

The most heartbreaking result came against Ivy-rival Princeton. Led by an 18 point, 8-for-10 shooting performance from junior center Darien Nelson-Henry, Penn built up a double-digit lead in the second half. However, the Tigers came roaring back and ultimately won, 78-74.

Penn wrestling saw both up and down team results over break. The team started off with a solid showing on the road in Evanstown, Ill., placing 14th out of 51 squads at the Midlands Championships.

However, it wasn’t all positive for the team over the holidays. On Jan. 11, the Quakers were dismantled on the road by No. 14 Iowa State, 41-3.

Ultimately, the program’s biggest achievements came from two of its seniors.

At Midlands, star grappler Lorenzo Thomas finished second among 184-pounders, while Canaan Bethea went undefeated in five matches at the Franklin & Marshall Open to take the 197-pound title.

The men’s squash team hopped across the pond for an eight-day training trip in London over winter break. Shortly after returning stateside, the team faced No. 8 Dartmouth and No. 5 Harvard. The No. 11 Quakers split their matches, defeating the Big Green, 7-2 while falling to the Crimson, 2-7. In the first weekend of the new year, the women’s squash team cemented its winning ways with two 9-0 victories over No. 7 Stanford and No. 8 George Washington. The following weekend in Philadelphia, theNo. 3 Red and Blue took down Dartmouth 9-0 and No. 1 Harvard, 5-4, notching Penn’s first win over the Crimson since 2008.
