Solidarity, mourning in the face of terror Reflections from an emotional, tumultuous week in Paris HARRY COOPERMAN City News Editor

INSIDE

PARIS — Everywhere I walk, there are signs of support and unity.

“Je suis Charlie.”

NEWS

“Nous sommes Charlie.”

I am — we are — Charlie.

The signs are posted in shop windows. They cover the walls of newspaper stands.

The words are etched onto walls. They are emblazoned on the front of several Parisian newspapers. At Place de la République, the site of several rallies in recent days, a pencil with “Je suis Char-

lie” written on it is affixed to a statue.

Paris has changed since I arrived two Sundays ago. After the slaughter of 12 people at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo last Wednesday, the shooting of a police officer on Thursday and the killing of four more civilians at a kosher supermarket on Friday, the city is in mourn-

ing.

The massacre at Charlie Hebdo — which left eight journalists, one janitor, one visitor and two police officers dead — struck at the core of French society. As someone put it to me, the attack was a blow to the heart of treasured French humor.

While the attacks have prompted reactions across the

country — France is now at its highest level of security alert and armed forces stand guard throughout several areas of Paris — the country has remained resilient, and is fighting back.

Millions of people have shown their support for the freedom of speech that CharSEE PARIS PAGE A8

////ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE////

Over winter break, 10 members of Penn Athletics were honored for their exploits in the classroom with five male and five female athletes receiving Academic All-Ivy honors. The Penn athletes were selected based on their ability to achieve a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Notably included among the honorees were football's senior wide receiver Spencer Kulcsar and men's soccer's senior forward Duke Lacroix. The pair not only attained Academic All-Ivy status in 2014, but also managed to secure first team All-Ivy honors in their respective sports.

Sophomores Cleo and Clarissa Whiting and senior Connor Paez were among the others to be honored, leaving Penn cross country as the most represented sport on the list.

///MOVING ON UP?///

<

Duke Lacroix spent four years with Penn men's soccer leading the Red and Blue by virtue of his goal-scoring ability, helping guide the Quakers to the Ivy League title in 2014. Now the New Egypt, N.J., native has the opportunity to take his talents to Major League Soccer. Following a senior campaign in which the forward scored seven goals for Penn, Lacroix was invited to take part in the Adidas MLS Player Combine, the only Ivy player to receive the opportunity to do so. Penn's former captain was one of 64 total players to participate in the event between Jan. 8 and 13 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Now, all the senior can do is wait and see if his name is called during Thursday's MLS Draft.

////PRIMED AND RANKED///

The season is a long ways off, but Penn men's and women's lacrosse are already getting nationwide respect. The men's squad, which turned heads all over the sport when it took out Cornell and Harvard en route to the 2014 Ivy League tournament title, was voted No. 11 nationwide in Lacrosse Magazine's preseason poll. The Quakers are ranked second among Ivy teams, with Cornell one spot above at No. 10 and Harvard one spot below at No. 12. Not to be outdone, the women's team — which made their eighth consecutive NCAA tournament with an Ivy tournament title in 2014 — are ranked No. 17 in the magazine's poll.

////BACK FOR MORE////

Duke Lacroix isn't the only former member of the Red and Blue to make news over winter break. While Penn men's soccer's former Ivy Player of

Year seeks to embark on a successful pro career, a former men's < the tennis player is coming back to school...sort of. After graduating in May

2014, Nikola Kocovic, the squad's former captain, has accepted an offer to return to the squad as an assistant on coach David Geatz's staff. The Mount Laurel, N.J., native played primarily at the first position for Geatz in 2014, and notched 11 singles wins.

Of the legion of Penn benefactors and gift givers, no two may be more infamous than David and Charles Koch.

The industrialist siblings contributed more than $12.7 million to 163 colleges and universities in 2012. According to the Koch Family Foundations website, Penn is one of those recipient schools, having received a one-time grant of $5,000.

The Kochs are notable mostly for their political advocacy committee, Americans for Prosperity, which spent at least $33.5 million on antiObama advertisements during

USciences president, a Penn grad, abruptly resigns Helen Giles-Gee led Penn’s neighbor to the southwest since 2012 COREY STERN Deputy News Editor

When students from the University of the Sciences returned to their campus for the spring semester earlier this week, they found their school with a change of leadership.

KOCH

by bringing in speakers, hosted by the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Department.

President Helen Giles-Gee announced she was stepping down from her post at the helm of the private university located just southwest of Penn’s campus on Dec. 23, with her resignation effective on Dec. 31. She had served as president since July 2012.

Marvin Samson, chairman of USciences’ Board of Trustees is now serving as the school’s interim president.

“At this time and after seri-

ous reflection, I have decided to leave University of the Sciences.

I am honored to have served as president and will hold this University dear in my heart,” Giles-Gee said in her resignation announcement. While no explanation for her swift departure was provided, a university spokesperson told The Daily Pennsylvanian that Giles-Gee resigned due to “personal reasons.”

Giles-Gee, who was both the

first black president and first female president of USciences, had previously served as the president of Keene State College in New Hampshire from 2005 to 2012. She is a 1972 graduate of the College and received a master’s degree in science education from Penn in 1973 and a Ph.D. in measurement, evaluation and techniques of experimental research from Penn in 1983.

Samson, for whom the school’s Samson College of

Health Sciences is named, told the DP in an email that he will serve as USciences’ interim president “until the board of trustees can solidify a presidential transition plan.” He previously served as the interim president of the school for the 2011-12 academic year, prior to Giles-Gee’s appointment. He has lead many pharmaceutical companies, including Samson Medical Technologies, which he founded in 1998.

“I have already had the opportunity to meet with many individuals from the USciences community and expect there will be no disruption in the dayto-day operations nor the many ongoing campus initiatives such as the development of a strategic plan and a campus master plan,” Samson said. “The University has a strong senior leadership team in place and those individuals have the full support of the board of trustees.”

MacCarthy explained that Penn fosters relationships with some donors through the Development Office. However, no such relationship exists with the Koch brothers themselves. Instead,

PPE professor Sebastiano Bavetta said, the PPE Department reached out to the Koch Foundation because of its “interest in the analysis of freedom.”

The Koch Foundation did not respond to a request for comment.

Previously, MacCarthy had declined to elaborate on Koch Foundation grants, citing Penn’s policy to “not discuss the details of donors’ philanthropy.”

Bavetta used the speakers’ diversity of beliefs — citing the three speakers invited so far, Ariel Rubinstein, Jerry Gaus and John Tomasi — as an example of the series’ independence from the Koch Foundation’s principles.

“Ariel Rubinstein has no particular political intention. Jerry Gaus is a philosopher who might have some sympathy toward their views, but he is not openly sponsoring or favoring the kind of libertarian ideas the Koch Foundation is supporting,” Bavetta said. “I have not received any kind of pressure [from the Kochs].”

The Kochs’ recent ventures

into education spending have caused uproar at other universities, where students and faculty fear a political mandate attached to the grant money.

A $1.5 million pledge to Florida State University’s economics department came with a stipulation that a “Koch-appointed advisory committee select professors and conduct annual evaluations,” reported the Tampa Bay Times.

The pledge stipulated that faculty “retain only the illusion of control,” with the Koch Foundation coordinating most staff hires, according to the report.

The enforcement of a conservative political agenda appears to be the theme of the Kochs’ education spending. At George Mason University, the Kochs have poured in $8.49 million, partly to set up the Institute for Humane Studies — which specializes in researching the “practice and potentials of freedom” — and is now responsible for the ongoing funding of the PPE Freedom Lectures, which has started at an additional $4,000, said Bavetta.

The chairman of the Institute’s board is none other than Charles

Koch himself.

Other Koch-sponsored influence is more expressly biased.

In July, the Huffington Post reported on a Koch-sponsored nonprofit, Young Entrepreneurs, which recruits teachers to support a customized curriculum fashioned to the brothers’ conservative political agenda. According to the Post’s report, the YE curriculum teaches that, “Government, in short, is the enemy of liberty.”

Official statements from schools receiving Koch Foundation aid have uniformly denied that the donations “color classroom curricula.”

Meanwhile, students at Florida State have started a national movement, entitled “UnKoch My Campus,” to disassociate corporate influence from curricular spending. According to a November article from Inside Higher Ed, students at nearly 30 colleges have called “for a separation of college and corporation.”

Students at George Mason are especially enraged at their school’s failure to disclose in-

formation on private donations.

In response, student leaders established “Transparent GMU,” a group that has questioned the efficacy of Koch-sponsored organizations like the Institute for Humane Studies.

Politically-active Penn students seem comfortable with the lecture series’ source of funding.

President of the Government and Politics Association and College sophomore Sarah Simon was happy to see libertarian beliefs sponsored on campus. “We don’t often address libertarian beliefs on campus,” she said.“If that money happens to come from the Koch Foundation, I don’t necessarily see a problem with it.”

The PPE Department seemed pretty upfront about the donation through listing it on their website,” she added, referring to a line on the department’s website that acknowledges the series as “funded by the Charles Koch Foundation.”

Bavetta, meanwhile, has a much simpler, alternative explanation. “If you want to influence somebody, you have to give them more than $5,000.”

Portion of wine sales to feed the hungry STEPHANIE BARRON Staff Writer

The next time you’re going to a BYO at Banana Leaf, upgrade from Franzia to Josh Cellars wine to help the hungry.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board announced on Jan. 7 that a portion of the proceeds from sales of Josh Cellars wines at Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores will be donated to feeding the hungry in local communities.

The board has pledged to donate $1 per bottle sold between Jan. 4 and Feb. 1, capping the dona-

tions at $5,000. All donations will be split between HungerFree Pennsylvania and Feeding Pennsylvania, two charities dedicated to providing resources to food banks in needy communities.

“Donations to food banks typically slow down substantially in January, but the need does not abate,” PLCB chairman Joseph E. Brion said in an email statement. “We applaud our vendor partner, Josh Cellars, for generously donating a portion of their proceeds to assist in keeping local food pantries stocked during

the long winter months.”

Feeding Pennsylvania and Hunger-Free Pennsylvania have teamed up before. The two organizations run the “Hunger Action Month” in September to raise awareness and money for those in need.

Fifteen percent of all households in Pennsylvania struggle with food hardship, according to the hunger statistics reported by the Pennsylvania Hunger Action Center. Feeding Pennsylvania reports that one in seven citizens of Pennsylvania is at risk of going hungry.

THE DANALYST | Sometimes it takes being sick to give you time to reflect

I

spent the train ride back from Thanksgiving break mourning the mounds of turkey leftovers I’d forgotten in my fridge and mapping out my study schedule for finals.

I looked up library hours and planned out a detailed itinerary, complete with denoted “gummy bear breaks!” and “five minutes to drop everything and breathe!” I figured I could survive my first round of finals if I just got myself together.

Three hours later, I got back to my dorm and collapsed on my bed. I was fatigued, nauseous and shivering with a fever. SHS told me a few days later that I had pneumonia, that I was unable to take my finals and should head home immediately to rest. I got on a train back to Connecticut a week later — planner in tow — but with all my carefully-made plans derailed.

I spent three weeks in bed, unsure of what to do with myself. I was used to my Penn state of bouncing from one activity to the next with barely any time in between to eat, let alone reflect on my life. I slept, I read, I went through three seasons of Scandal in five days. I got a jump on the final exam papers I’d have to turn in late. And I thought over and over again about how I had allowed myself to get sick like this — how I had run myself down so much that I couldn’t stay at Penn and finish up the semester with the rest of my friends. I scanned through the myriad “Turn Up for Finals!” snapchats and replied with my failed attempts to make pneumonia look photogenic. Trips to the doctor’s office gave me a whole new meaning of IV league.

My theory is that I got sick by disregarding any concerns my immune system might have. My lifestyle at Penn

is not healthy. I should swap downtowns for more sleep and keep tabs on nutrition instead of relying on gummy bears to get me through Sunday nights in the Law Library. I prioritize hanging out with friends over exercising. And I stress

It’s how I exert control over the hectic, helterskelter-ness of my college experience. I may not have all the answers, but I can figure out my trajectory — for a day, a week, even 10 years down the line. I’m all for spontaneity, but only if it’s

I’M ALL FOR SPONTANEITY, BUT ONLY IF IT’S DURING MY NEATLY PENCILED-IN WINDOW OF FREE TIME. THE MORE TIME I SPEND AT COLLEGE, THOUGH, THE MORE SHORT-TERM MY PLANS BECOME. out, almost without realizing it, about everything from rush outfits to whether I should start studying for the LSAT. But the most unhealthy part of my life at Penn is my reliance on plans. I live for the ability to write out my itinerary for the day and stick to it.

during my neatly penciled-in window of free time.

The more time I spend at college, though, the more short-term my plans become.

I came to Penn with a spreadsheet of classes mapped out for the next four years. I thought I had my academic

roadmap figured out — major, minor and requirements all taken care of. But then my communications major morphed into political science, which changed into English and now stands as a firm undecided. I don’t want to turn away from the neat routes I planned out, but it’s unhealthy to stick to plans for mere convenience. I need to start letting go of my routines. I should take a break every once in a while from the events on my calendar and catch up on sleep. I should postpone my English reading for half an hour to grab actual food. I need to prioritize my well-being over what’s written in my planner.

Bored of my bed and weak from antibiotics, I spent a day while I was recovering penning my class schedule into my planner — every day for the rest of the semester.

Then a class opened up and I thought more practically

DANI BLUM about requirements, and in 10 minutes all my careful planning was undone. I scratched out my plans and tentatively inked my new schedule onto the pages — aware that they might not be permanent, but secure that I could handle the next derivation from my plans.

I think it’s time to invest in Wite-Out.

Honoring King’s memory

By holding classes on Martin Luther King Day, along with special programs, Penn best honors King’s enduring legacy The annual official observance of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday is this Monday.

Fifteen years ago, Penn president Judith Rodin recommended that the University not hold classes on this holiday, and The Daily Pennsylvanian wrote an editorial rebutting this statement. It is printed below.

YOUR VOICE Have your own opinion? Send your guest column to Opinion Editor at letters@ theDP.com.

January 19th, 2000 Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday is and ought to be a time to remember the message of the late civil rights leader and to honor his legacy.

To do so, President Judith Rodin has recommended thatclasses not be held on Martin Luther King Day in the future. We believe holding classes is entirely consistent with the principles and guiding spirit of the holiday.

But the goals of the commemoration – a greater appreciation for America’s diversity and remembrance of Dr. King’s message – are not compromised when students and faculty engage

in academic work. And classes do not detract from an individual’s ability to celebrate the holiday in a manner befitting Dr. King’s memory. Therefore, we believe that classes should continue to be held on this day in the future.

Dr. King’s birthday should be -- and for many, is -- a day to reflect on the civil rights movement, its successes and those dreams that have yet to be fulfilled.

It is a day that unites all Americans, reminds us of where we have been and allows us to look at where we are going as individuals and as a society.

Every year, this campus sees a plethora of speak-

ers, programs and service activities that succeed in keeping Dr. King’s spirit alive, now 71 years since his birth.

We strongly encourage all students to take advantage of these powerful opportunities, both on the King holiday and over the course of the year. It is imperative that the ideals for which Dr. King lived and died be passed onto the next generation, and active participation in the events marking this holiday will make that a reality.

But Dr. King was also a firm believer in the power of an educated mind, and holding classes is an embodiment of his vision, not

a denigration of it. King was an active campaigner for civil rights in the days before Brown v. Board of Education, and no image would be more consistent with his vision than that of students, from a variety of backgrounds, engaging on equal footing in vigorous academic dialogue.

Truly commemorating Dr. King does not mean limiting opportunities for personal and intellectual growth. Those who would make Martin Luther King Jr. Day an official University holiday should consider whether canceling classes would really better serve the goal of honoring Dr. King and his vision.

HUP sees federal funding cuts HUP will be penalized for a high number of recorded in-hospital infections JACK CAHN Staff Writer

Going to the hospital might actually make you sicker. One in four people have dangerously high rates of in-hospital infections and injuries, according to a federal analysis of patient care.

The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is one of the worst offenders. With a HospitalAcquired Condition score of 8.05 out of 10, it is well above the 7-point cutoff that separates safe hospitals from those with poor patient care. HUP’s score for serious complications — a 10 — was the highest among all offending institutions and its score of 9 for catheter associated urinary tract infections was also particularly high.

Offending hospitals will be penalized as part of the HAC Reduction Program created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act. HUP and other violating hospitals will have their Medicare payments lowered by 1 percent.

HUP, however, believes that Medicare’s metrics for determining patient care are skewed.

“These are not incidents — not errors. The penalties are based on percentages. Major teaching hospitals see much sicker patients, which can lead to lower performance,” said Susan Phillips, senior vice president of Public Affairs for Penn Medicine. “The new Medicare data for hospital-

acquired conditions represents only one snapshot of patient outcomes, and each survey utilizes different information and methodology to generate their conclusions.”

Phillips could be right. According to an analysis by Ashish Jha, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, the HAC Reduction Program disproportionately targeted institutions with the sickest patients. He found that of the hospitals with the sickest patients, 32 percent were punished. Only 12 percent of those with the least complex cases were punished. Jha also found that hospitals with the poorest patients were most likely to be penalized.

“A simple way to think about it is this: Who is getting penalized?

Large, urban, public, teaching hospitals in the Northeast with lots of poor patients. Who is not getting penalized? Small, rural, for-profit hospitals in the South,” Jha said. He found that the chances of a large, urban, public major teaching hospital with many poor patients like HUP getting penalized is 62 percent. The HAC program, he argues, would be more effective if it used a better metric like mortality rates or patient satisfaction levels.

The HAC Reduction Program is among many recent government initiatives to incentivize improved patient care. In 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid launched a “Partnership for Patients” to reduce levels of infection and injuries in hospitals. Other pay-for-performance programs that penalize unsafe

DP FILE PHOTO

hospitals include the value-based purchasing program and federal readmissions reduction program.

These programs have strong support among medical professionals. Joshua Adler, UCSF

Medical Center’s chief medical officer, said that these programs have energized quality improve-

ment and bolstered efforts to improve patient care. The HAC program “put attention to the issue of complications and that attention wasn’t everywhere,” said John Bulger, chief quality officer at Geisinger Health System, a chain of hospitals and clinics in Pennsylvania.

Whether or not HUP and other large public teaching hospitals are egregious offenders or victims of what Jha calls an unfair “teaching hospital penalty program,” they are making renewed efforts to improve patient care. The frequency of mistakes dropped by 17 percent between 2010 and 2013 according to a recent federal report and is continuing to fall.

“Our quality and safety program leads with ongoing training, intensive monitoring and real-time analysis‎ of performance and feedback,” Phillips said.

Nonetheless, one in eight hospital admissions in 2013 resulted in a patient injury, according to the report from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Hospitals still have a way to go in improving patient care.

The next class of undergrads will be trained during an eight-week, paid summer program at FactCheck’s offices at APPC from June 1–July 24. Those who are trained this summer must agree to work 10 to 15 hours per week at FactCheck.org during the fall and spring semesters, if their work merits continued employment.

The fellows at FactCheck.org help our staff monitor the factual accuracy of claims made by political figures in TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases. They help conduct research on such claims and contribute to articles for publication on our website under the supervision of FactCheck.org staff.

The fellows must have an ability to write clearly and concisely, an understanding of journalistic practices and ethics, and an interest in politics and public policy. The fellows also must be able to think independently and set aside any partisan biases.

If you are interested, please submit your resume and two writing samples by the Feb. 9 deadline to FactCheck.org Deputy Managing Editor Rob Farley at rob.farley@factcheck.org.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

Journey of the H.M.S. 130 On a cold night in January, the H.M.S. 130 set off for her maiden voyage, full steam ahead, hoping to make record time to a world of #culture, #accountability and #training.

Captained by Taylor and his first mate Amanda, this ship was promised to be better than all that came before it. It was disruptive, produced better content, and, above all, more Innovative, with a capital “I” and even a Lab. Lois, after a thorough redesign of the supposedly-impenetrable hull, ran belowdecks for the rest of the trip, only to find Jody and the captain in a compromising position. “Paint me like one of your Hill girls,” Jody purred.

Sports, as usual, provided deckside entertainment for the passengers of the H.M.S. 130. For one trick, Steven made RileySteeleDP (Google it) disappear. After being unable to locate him for a bit longer than expected, RileySteeleDP (seriously, Google it) eventually turned up, albeit as a J.D. Salinger character and a red-headed Whartonite. The troupe was one member short: Ian missed the voyage entirely because a Giants game went to overtime.

But the H.M.S 130’s journey was interrupted when a decision to only travel four days of the week brought a petition by some of the crew that sliced through the hulls of the ship.

The ship — previously thought un-

sinkable — began to take on a dangerous amount of water. It stalled.

Sitting in the lookout perch, Will, who claims to have seen the problem coming from miles away in the clear night sky, muttered, “I told you so.”

Passengers begged Jen to administer medical assistance, but she only knows anything about history and English. Holding back tears, she went off to write her feelings down in her poetry book.

Harry was not one to stand idly by while those he loved were in trouble. “YO!” he shouted. “This way!” Harry, offering free hugs to people for comfort — even to those who didn’t necessarily want them — donned his orange life vest, green pants and helped people onto the lifeboats with orange life vests of their own. Harry would later be remembered as the happy hero of the H.M.S. 130. Meanwhile, the rest of the Blue Room was too busy unilaterally re-ranking the paper to help anyone else.

Across the hall, Genesis and Matt realized, panicking, that the “H.M.S.” was missing a period. Unfortunately, that part of the boat was already underwater. Hailey promised to creatively-direct resources to the problem if the ship righted itself.

As the ship was sinking, Michele wondered why G-d sent her on a third doomed vessel.

Vivian, Analyn and Jenny gave up on steering their lifeboat and turned to cookie butter for survival.

Luckily for the passengers and crew, the case was not that dire (and really never has been). With some work (mostly from Luke, who was

working overtime after designing the Weekly), the H.M.S. 130 righted itself and made its repairs. Most of those on the lifeboats were brought back aboard.

In the course of the journey, several passengers lost their lives to the

merciless sea-god Poseidon, despite the best efforts of the crew. Some, like Fiona, leapt gleefully. Looking around at the survivors, no one could tell if the video producers made it out alive.

Back in Philadelphia, Gianni

counted the fortune he made off the H.M.S. 130’s journey and the ads Kat made selling the tale. The business group reinvested the money in building a new, better ship: The H.M.S. 131.

the ground, according to the complaint filed in federal court.

Allen sustained injuries to her neck, back and shoulders in addition to nerve damage and facial lacerations, the complaint said.

She was transferred to Mercy Philadelphia Primary Hospital upon her arrival to the police station.

At the preliminary hearing on Aug. 12, 2013, the Municipal Court of Philadelphia dismissed all charges filed against Allen.

She is now suing the Penn Police Department in federal court for the violation of her Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights — namely unlawful search and seizure, excessive force and substantive due process.

In the moments before the alleged assault took place, Allen was asleep on a man’s lap in the passenger seat of a parked vehicle near the 3100 block of Market Street, according to Allen’s complaint. Allen claims that the unnamed driver flagged Umbrell for assistance because the driver was too intoxicated to take her home.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2015

However, at the preliminary hearing, Umbrell said that the driver did not know Allen and needed Umbrell’s assistance in removing Allen from his car. The driver did not show up on the date of the preliminary hearing.

Almost a year and a half after the incident, Allen decided to file a formal lawsuit this December after Penn Police did not respond to requests from her lawyer to negotiate a settlement, her lawyer said. She claims to suffer from permanent loss of income due to irreparable back pain she says is a result of the incident, hindering her ability to stand for extended periods of time in her job as a cocktail waitress.

“When the opportunity came to [the Penn Police Department] to address this issue, they have just been obsolete or totally ignorant and unaware,” Allen’s lawyer, Mu’min Islam said.

The Penn Police Department declined to comment because the litigation is still pending.

Allen and her legal counsel are currently waiting for the Penn Police Department to answer their order for appearance. A hearing date is set for Apr. 29.

lie Hebdo represents. On Sunday, over 1.5 million people, including numerous world leaders, marched in Paris; they were joined by millions of others around the globe.

On Wednesday, when Charlie Hebdo’s most recent issue was published — a print run of 5 million, as opposed to the usual 60,000 — thousands of people waited in line to purchase a copy.

When I tried to buy a copy at several local newsstands later in the day, I was told to come back tomorrow; the issue had sold out by midday across the city.

I, like many others, stood in line to buy a copy of Charlie Hebdo because I wanted to support their right to freely express their thoughts. And when I try to purchase an issue again today, I will do so because freedom of speech is not an ideal I will surrender.

In this way, I am Charlie. And that is how I plan to stay.

Ross’ trey helps Penn get rebound win W. HOOPS | Stipanovich added 19 points and 13 boards

BY COLIN HENDERSON Sports Editor With the arrival of the new year, there is no shortage of resolutions being made across campus.

On Wednesday night at the Palestra, Penn women’s basketball fulfilled one of its own: conquering its fear of spiders.

In the first meeting between the two teams since 1995, the Quakers defeated Richmond for the first time in school history, 49-47, off the strength of a late three from freshman Anna Ross.

“Coming off a Princeton loss, we really wanted to win on our home court,” Ross said. “So we all stepped it up and got the win.”

VS. RICHMOND After battling the Spiders to a hard-fought tie at nine points apiece through the first eight minutes of the game, the Red and Blue began to show some cracks in their offense. Namely, they struggled to find balance scoring the ball.

Sophomore center Sydney Stipanovich and senior guard Kathleen Roche combined to score all 17 of Penn’s first-half points and pulled in over half of the team’s firsthalf rebounds.

While the stellar duo shot a solid 7-for-13 from the field in the first half, the rest of the team failed to convert on any of its 17 attempts.

////ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE////

Over winter break, 10 members of Penn Athletics were honored for their exploits in the classroom with five male and five female athletes receiving Academic All-Ivy honors. The Penn athletes were selected based on their ability to achieve a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Notably included among the honorees were football's senior wide receiver Spencer Kulcsar and men's soccer's senior forward Duke Lacroix. The pair not only attained Academic All-Ivy status in 2014, but also managed to secure first team All-Ivy honors in their respective sports.

Sophomores Cleo and Clarissa Whiting and senior Connor Paez were among the others to be honored, leaving Penn cross country as the most represented sport on the list.

M. HOOPS | Penn needs Louis and Howard to step up

BY HOLDEN MCGINNIS Sports Editor It isn’t every night that Penn basketball gets to play in front of a sold-out crowd, but Saturday’s game against No. 5 Villanova isn’t an ordinary night.

Where to even start?

It’s a Big 5 matchup against a local rival that has started 16-1 on the season, including three wins over other top 25 teams and a 3-0 start in the Big 5. And the game will take place back where the Big 5 started: in the historic Palestra.

For a Penn team (4-8) that has struggled so far this year, it will be the most difficult matchup of the season by far. Villanova features a diverse offense with five scorers averaging double figures and having outscored opponents by 16.6 points per

The Wildcats are led in scoring by senior guard Darrun Hilliard, who has played well despite missing a game against NJIT after suffering a potential concussion in midDecember against Syracuse.

Hilliard earned the Big East Most Improved Player Award last season after scoring 14.6 points per game and has continued his strong shooting with a solid 13.5 points per contest average. The veterab scored 21 points and hit four treys in ‘Nova’s 17-point win over DePaul on Saturday.

Duke Lacroix spent four years with Penn men's soccer leading the Red and Blue by virtue of his goal-scoring ability, helping guide the Quakers to the Ivy League title in 2014. Now the New Egypt, N.J., native has the opportunity to take his talents to Major League Soccer. Following a senior campaign in which the forward scored seven goals for Penn, Lacroix was invited to take part in the Adidas MLS Player Combine, the only Ivy player to receive the opportunity to do so. Penn's former captain was one of 64 total players to participate in the event between Jan. 8 and 13 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Now, all the senior can do is wait and see if his name is called during Thursday's MLS Draft.

////PRIMED AND RANKED///

The season is a long ways off, but Penn men's and women's lacrosse are already getting nationwide respect. The men's squad, which turned heads all over the sport when it took out Cornell and Harvard en route to the 2014 Ivy League tournament title, was voted No. 11 nationwide in Lacrosse Magazine's preseason poll. The Quakers are ranked second among Ivy teams, with Cornell one spot above at No. 10 and Harvard one spot below at No. 12. Not to be outdone, the women's team — which made their eighth consecutive NCAA tournament with an Ivy tournament title in 2014 — are ranked No. 17 in the magazine's poll.

Duke Lacroix isn't the only former member of the Red and Blue to make news over winter break. While Penn men's soccer's former Ivy Player of the Year seeks to embark on a successful pro career, a former men's tennis player is coming back to school...sort of. After graduating in May 2014, Nikola Kocovic, the squad's former captain, has accepted an offer to return to the squad as an assistant on coach David Geatz's staff. The Mount Laurel, N.J., native played primarily at the first position for Geatz in 2014, and notched 11 singles wins.

Quakers split Ivy tri-meet during winter break SWIMMING | Penn tops Dartmouth but is stymied by Yale

BY CARTER COUDRIET Associate Sports Editor With a trip to the Sunshine State for anything but a vacation in the rearview mirror for Penn swimming, will the training be worth it?

The winter holidays were short-lived for the Quakers, who on Dec. 27 flew to Florida for their annual training trip. Regarded as one of the most pivotal activities in any collegiate swimming program, the training trip fostered the camaraderie of the swimmers heading into the back half of the season.

While a brutal combination of laps and dry land workouts was the focus of the trip, coach Mike Schnur hoped that it would give the team momentum entering 2015.

Schnur’s squads put their training regimens to the test soon after arriving back in Philadelphia. Penn drove to Hanover for a Jan. 10 tri-meet against Dartmouth and Yale. Both Penn squads exited with similar results, beating the Big Green yet losing to the Elis.

While the men (2-4, 1-4 Ivy) narrowly beat Dartmouth, 169-130, for their first Ivy victory of the season, they were dominated by Yale in a lopsided 82217 contest. Only one Quakers’ swimmer chalked a victory over the two Ivy rivals: junior freestyler Eric Schultz in the 50-meter freestyle.

On far more occasions, the Yale squad proved to be a stumbling block. Penn’s diving unit continued its struggles, as Jack Stein placed fifth in the one-meter and sixth in the three-meter.

Even distance swimmer Chris Swanson, usually able to win races for the Quakers, fell to Yale in both his events, as Bulldogs

freshman Kei Hyogo stole the junior’s spotlight.

The women’s team (3-3, 2-3 Ivy) also fell to Yale, but its victory was far more convincing over the hosts, notching 216 points over Dartmouth’s 84. The Quakers recorded five event wins, highlighted by standout performances by sophomore Rochelle Dong — typically a name atop the leaderboard — and freshman Virginia Burns, who rocked the 100m and 200m freestyle events.

The performance by women’s diving did not answer many questions about the unit’s performance moving forward, as inconsistency prevented the group from scoring too many points. It was a tale of two Cassidy Goldens, for the sophomore shone with a second-place finish in the three-meter then dulled with a last-place performance in the one-meter.

The team’s focus the entire season has been on the allimportant Ivy League Champi-

its final opponents may put the Quakers in position to finish highly in the Ivy League. Everything from preseason play to the training trip will contribute to how conditioned and prepared the Quakers are at the Ivy Championships and, potentially, beyond.

Player of the Week honors following Penn’s loss to Princeton on Saturday, senior forward Kara Bonenberger struggled on Wednesday, going 0-for-6 in the first half while trying to deal with Richmond’s physical defense in the paint.

Penn’s defense largely held up, but the Spiders were able to build an eight point lead by halftime.

However, the second half was a completely different story.

The Quakers came out firing on both ends of the floor, turning Richmond over, moving the ball and attacking the basket.

“The adjustment we made was that everything was more aggressive,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “We trapped them in our zone press [because] I just felt like we had to do change what was going on.”

Within the first two minutes of the second half, senior Renee Busch — the hero of Penn’s Big 5 title-clinching win over Temple

— knocked down a three, bringing the Quakers to within three.

Bonenberger reasserted herself on the offensive end of the floor, going up strong in the paint on multiple occasions and notching eight crucial secondhalf points.

Penn quickly took a lead, and from then on it was a tight fisted affair. Despite maintaining the lead for the majority of the half, a couple crucial late game turnovers by the Red and Blue allowed the Spiders to take a onepoint lead with less than a minute remaining.

The stage was set for the Quakers to win a game in crunch time once again, and they came through.

In a sequence strongly reminiscent of Busch’s clutch three only two games prior, Ross stepped into a three with just over 20 seconds left and drained it to give Penn the win.

“In those situations, it’s not really that you’re thinking anything,” Ross said. “But you know that you have to make a play, and if you’re open you need to take

the shot, even if it’s a tough one.”

“I’m glad [she] had the confidence to take it,” McLaughlin said. “It’s a big shot for anyone, let alone a freshman.”

Stipanovich was the difference in the game, posting a monstrous 19 points, 13 boards and six blocks to notch her fifth double-double of the season.

“She wanted this one bad,” McLaughlin said.

“She struggled [against Princeton] ... and she needed to bounce back, which I knew she would.”

The victory extends the Quakers’ streak of home dominance, marking Penn’s 14th win in its past 15 games at the Palestra.

The Red and Blue will take the court once again next Wednesday with a chance to clinch the Big 5 title outright against Villanova.

Ivy League strikes national TV deal for basketball

For the second consecutive year, Penn and Princeton basketball will see their annual matchup at the Palestra broadcast on national TV. CBS Sports Network will show both the men’s and women’s team’s games against the Tigers.

Most Improved Player Award with Hilliard. Ochefu leads the Wildcats in rebounding and blocks and will be matched up with Nelson-Henry throughout.

The Quakers are coming off of a win against Niagara on Tuesday, a lone bright spot in the team’s recent stretch of games. Sophomore guard Matt Howard and senior forward Greg Louis put together efficient games in the win, combining to shoot 10-for-15 from the floor in just 28 combined minutes.

While Penn’s offense is often catalyzed by leading scorer Tony Hicks and Nelson-Henry, the team will need auxiliary scorers like Louis and Howard to step up against a stifling ‘Nova defense.

While the Quakers have managed to shoot a respectable 45.7 percent from the field this season, the Wildcats have held opponents to just 40.3 percent shooting and 60.5 points per game.

Last season’s matchup against Villanova saw the emergence of then-freshman guard Tony Bagtas, who is no longer with the program, as he distributed nine assists in a 77-54 loss.

The win was the Wildcats’ 11th straight against the Quakers.

It will be tough for Penn to upset Villanova, but there is a silver lining to the game. The trying nonconference matchup

should help the Red and Blue prepare for a fast-approaching Ivy slate that looks rather daunting following this weekend’s loss to Princeton.

To add to the excitement, the Taney Dragons Little League team — which captured the national spotlight during the Little League World Series thanks to a series of stellar pitching performances from Mo’ne Davis — will be in attendance for the battle between the Philadelphia opponents.

They may not see the most even matchup, but there are few things as rooted in Philadelphia sports history as the Big 5 and the Palestra.

And though the odds may seem beyond long, a Quakers win could zoom right to the forefront of Big 5 lore.

For a few months, the Ivy League lagged behind other conferences, not having a national television deal after its contract with NBCSN expired.

No longer.

Wednesday, the Ivy League announced in a release its new partnership with both the American Sports Network and CBS Sports Network to broadcast 12 men’s and three women’s contests over the course of the remaining regular season.

Of the 12 games scheduled to be broadcast nationally, Penn is scheduled to participate in three, with two matchups scheduled for the same day: CBS Sports Network will air the season-ending doubleheader between the Quakers and Princeton at the Palestra

His other super� powers include saving small dogs from drowning and achieving level 99 hunting in runescape.

Taking on the powerful, dark forces that lead University City, they work and fight to serve you, for the cause of justice and good.

If there's ever been a girl to reach for the stars, Alex Sternlicht is her. And no, not just when she's physically reaching for celebrity DJs in the booth. Sternlicht goes the extra mile in every part of her existence. This girl doesn't just write an article, she pours every bit of her heart and soul into researching, reporting, interviewing, and painstak� ingly editing before slap� ping a controversial title like "SLUTS" on that bitch.

Stepping into her new role as Editor in Chief has been no exception. Alex is ready to shake things up big time and you can expect to see lots of new Street 'tude emerging with her reign.

Alex, just please promise us all that you'll make some at� tempt at getting sleep (she won't).

Hey, Steven’s superhero name is one that he hasn’t been able to shake off for awhile — just like his inability to shake off the memory of an “average” friend. Well-known for his office , the swiftness with which he moves from one to the other — as well as his affinity for Ms. Swift — helped him land the moniker “Swifty.” But he must be Cruzing it, because he sure ain’t losing the name. Tydings Law. Things “Swifty” has managed to lose (or will be losing) a few other things, like: his dignity, many times; $20, because something about 4015 'nut roils his loins; Derek Jeter, to both retirement and marriage; TSwift, to literally anyone else; his wood to some choppers; 20 McNuggets, to the ground; his friends during Fling, to Drexel; his hope of being as successful as bff Alex Kline; and a copy couch, to Tom Cruise.

Somebody please tell ‘em who the f� she is. Megan Yan packs the punch of her 5 managers into an almost 5�foot frame, and at the young age of 14 (or 19, but who’s really sure), she’s taking on baddies for DP Biz on the 131. Self�described as smart and beautiful, the dual�degree sophomore fights bad guys to hell and back in leggings and a signature pair of black flats. If you’ve never seen her (which is hard at most heights), she’s been spotted cleaning up crime and McNuggets at Mickey D’s on more than a few late evenings. She’s not without weaknesses – who doesn’t get dizzy at the sight of Tom Hiddleston? – but she’s made it this far for a reason, winning DP staff of the month for a record� setting 7 months. There’s no questioning whether this PCUW member is woman enough� for the job. So question, question: Can you handle all this Megan?

We know, boys, she’s tempting, but this blonde bombshell is already taken by a boy whose name precedes himself: Merv. Jill doesn’t know what she’s missing when she takes her showers with the door closed. Hope she doesn’t lose him entirely: Merv got her 5 different Christmas presents this holiday season, and she got him a watercolor set. Ironic, since she has a habit of hypnotizing her boy into religious church�types devoted to Jesus. But she does have a knack for making friends – as the crime beat, she cozeyed up with Maureen Rush who once dedicated a toast to her. Safe to say she’s not worried about Penn Police.

This design superhero will definitely end up working his dream job at Pixar, but he’s obviously destined for bigger and better things, too. However, one thing is clear: Henry never left his awkward phase. As the only male in the design department, he is so overwhelmed with all the estrogen that he doesn’t know what to do with himself and ends up disappearing from the office for random periods of times.

Emily Cheng

(NOT PICTURED)

The first and greatest sceney girl ever to grace the halls of the design department, Emily has a penchant for all things stylish. Not only does she have her own fashion blog, but also even once dressed up as her spirit animal Anna Wintour. This heroine didn’t rise through the ranks without a ton of ambition and hard work — she’s come a long way from falling asleep at clubs and thinking pleather jumpsuits were ever a thing. She may be color-blind (those all-black ensembles don’t come together on their own) but it’s undeniable that this girl has deadly taste.

The Colorado Capturer got her name from being able to capture dramatic action-packed photos in the blink of an eye, whether on the court, the field, or on a road trip. While she handles each photo assignment with maturity and poise, don't let that fool you! This super hero started her college career sixteen going on seventeen, but still manages to blend in with the general overage population. While off of superhero duty, you can find her over at Hill, where her activities often include making her face as red as possible to blend in Elmo the Muppet, solo cups and the Chinese flag (while simultaneously attempting to do her Chinese homework). When Ilana isn't color changing, you can find her talking about JCC Ranch Camp, taking care of her fish named Arthur or getting Rocky Mountain High. But when she hears the call of new Senior Sports Editor Riley Steele, she's doing a really kickass job at what she was put on this planet to do: be the best Sports Photo Editor the world has ever seen.

Even though she may not know her Hong Kong from her Shanghai, she always keeps everything light-hearted, laughing at her own jokes before anyone else does.

Don't let Shawn’s hardened demeanor and take�no�shit attitude fool you into thinking that he can't have fun, though — when not in the office trying to convince the young ‘uns he’s �hip� with pop culture references no one understands, Shawn is dishing it out in the kitchen, sharpening his Japanese skills, or putting his Irish genes to good use by drinking everyone else under the table at BYOs.

Okay just to be clear, we’re still not sure what her name actually is. Paula? Paolo? Paowla? You can’t blame us — it’s really hard to understand, with the way she pronounces it and all. Nevertheless, although this frat star’s Facebook says �you should know me� and claims �you don’t need a summary,� we disagree. This bitch loves to talk back. But when she’s not dealing out sass, she’s known to belt out songs in the shower — she is �hella obsessed with frozen.� (Seriously, let it go — for real.) When she’s not listening to her suitemate doin’ the dirty next door — and tweeting about it — you can find her and her boyfriend (pretty sure his name is �Dell Inspiron�) cuddled up in bed. But if you want to contact this grammar nerd to save the day, it’ll be tough when she’s out of a wifi zone: Her phone is a brick (not kidding) and she carries around an iPod touch to stay relevant.

There are few people that have a way with words quite like the young boi Henderson. The Wharton sophomore brings more new catchphrases to the table than Johnny Manziel brings parties to Cleveland. Furthermore, while he may be a red�headed devil, this speedster’s super powers are not contained within his hair. In fact, when he close�cut his Samson�like ginger locks, Colin set a 1:30 PR in the 5k. something that most editors agree is pretty tope. When he isn’t ou’chea running down crime in the mean streets of Nazareth — his inglorious hometown — he’s a confused photographer searching for direction. You don’t need to look further than his infamous Instagram, where he clearly doesn’t understand the meaning of selfie or Sunday, something that may be more weakness than strength.

Holden McGinnis Who is Holden McGinnis? He can be anyone he wants to be, whether it’s "Walter," "Tater," or whatever nickname his brothers at Sigma Nu came up with 10 minutes ago. Holden can blend into any situation, but he’s most comfortable reliv� ing his past glories at national science competitions. His arch�nemesis? You also must be sure to not let him around anything flammable, something that has ruined many a trashcan in the DP offices. Whenever there is a fire, you can be sure that he will �Follow his Heart, and make a break for it, leaving the smoking wreckage of the sports office behind. However, his powers are limited in a very real way, as he has a problem set due tomorrow. Time to get coding.

Where in the world is Riley Darrel Steele?

One day he is in Switzerland, the next he is in China, the next at a Model UN conference. No matter where he is, he will use his unending love of Taylor Swift and Shakira to make any conference go smoothly. Furthermore, he is a man for any occasion, no matter the surface.

For example, this suave superhero showed up to his first date in a full suit … to go ice skating. One can only imagine how good he must have looked when he was in a glee club as a teenager. However, this �Man of Steele� isn’t without his kryptonite. From his Achilles knee to the St. Louis Cardinals to ChiO, he can easily be defeated. However, he has one secret up his sleeve: Google. Googling his name is sure to win over any opposition.

it’s very fitting that jenny has the same fleece as our new editor�in�chief, because just like how the Weekly Pennsylvanian is the hipster, less cool, less influential version of the Daily Pennsylvanian, jenny is the hipster, less cool, less known version of Matt. Soon she’ll be mooching content off the sports page just like the old weekly pennsylvanian editor used to, and live the relaxing SoCal life with her new free time

Who is Marley Coyne? If you study around Penn, you’ve probably never met her. That’s because she spends her nights patrolling the grammatical alleyways of 34th Street, chick nugs in one hand, fierce correction pen in the other. As Street’s managing editor, she’s the final word on the final words in the magazine. During the daylight hours, she doubles as a spunky young Tri Delt with an affinity for workout gear and a love of long walks in the cold. At night, she is Invisagirl: fear her editorial wrath.

She is compassionate and understanding with her peers yet she knows that the work needs to be done and will ensure that her team of sidekicks remains on track! Taylor is a rockstar and she shares her wisdom with the world in her blog A Cup of Tay. She will lead the DP’s account� ing and finance team into a new era of serenity and greatness.

Coming to the rescue in Ad is the fratstar Sam Rude and his right�hand woman Siri.

While this identical twin is likely to interrupt you 10 seconds in to say "Wait, I have a question" or mourn over his lost embroidered yarmulke, he’s quite the man; his pledge class even wrote a song about him ("Why You Gotta Be Sam Rude?").

When in civilian mode and not making bank, he’s likely to be chatting it up at Koch’s or attempting to make everything into a pun. His first week on staff, Sam asked his former manager if "adcest was allowed," but quickly added "only if there’s a nice Jewish girl," just as any respectable, Hillel�attending, ZBT super� hero would say. Though adcest (reportedly) never happened, sources have told us that he’s already swooped into the Blue Room. Look out, SuperSam’s reign is sure to sweep you up, up, and away.

Hailing all the way from Tijuana, Ariela swooped into Street as a freshmen editor, clad in all black with an incurable crush on Sam Brodey, music mentor and managing editor extraordinaire. She’s since blossomed into a digital diva and backpage badass, all while dressed impeccably, but never colorfully.

When she rarely leaves the architecture studio in Addams, this former down� town goer hops all over Philly to attend concerts, usually for artists who are about to blow up (another superpower: she’s ahead of the curve). She interviewed Bastille once for Street and they liked it so much they translated it to Italian. Pow! Ariela’s about to bring Street’s digital presence to the top of the charts.

Better not let the cheer� leader status confuse you though – you don’t want to mess with Cloyd. She’ll get a paper into your hands, whether you want one or not.

The incoming analytics manager, a DC native with a PPE ma� jor, is certainly more than meets the eye, channeling a secret tal� ent for numbers and code in her new role. And she can be quite the softie, getting all teary�eyed the most basic of puppy videos.

But still, don’t let that fool you � Emma can crunch more than just numbers, if you catch our drift.

She closely studies her enemies’ favorite shows like Gossip Girl and Secret Life to better under� stand them, and takes them down with a side�swoop of her bangs.

THE BUZZ: THREE-ON-THREE

Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last win over â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nova

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Penn after break?

BY SPORTS EDITORS From The Daily Pennsylvanianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports blog, THE BUZZ The past month has been a whirlwind for Penn Athletics as the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams soared to incredible heights â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both literally and figuratively â&#x20AC;&#x201D; over winter break. Our 3-on-3 panel breaks down what it has seen from the Red and Blue recently and what Penn fans need to know moving forward in 2015.

1. What is the biggest area of concern for Penn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball as it approaches the bulk of its Ivy League schedule?

Senior Sports Editor Steven Tydings: The biggest area of concern for Penn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball is that Princeton womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball will continue to exist for two more months.

Then-Penn guard Tim Begley ran the point for the Quakers the last time they defeated Villanova, a 72-58 victory at what is now the Wells Fargo Center.

From The Daily Pennsylvanianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports blog, THE BUZZ Penn basketball faces a tough challenge at the Palestra on Saturday, facing No. 5 Villanova in front of a sold-out crowd.

By now, it has been over 12 years since the Quakers have taken down the Big 5 rival Wildcats, so we are turning back the clock to Dec. 10, 2002, Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last win in the historic rivalry.

Back then, the Quakers were led by star forward Ugonna Onyekwe, who torched Villanova for 22 points on the then-First Union Center floor as the Red and Blue rolled to a 72-58 victory.

The Wildcats were caught in a no manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land all night long. Onyekwe and fellow forward Koko Archibong scored Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 16 points. But Villanova coach Jay Wright couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly sag his defense into the post: the Quakers hit 11 combined threes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believe it or not, we were trying to take away those threes and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly responsible for Ugonna scoring like he did,â&#x20AC;?

Wright said postgame.

Then-junior guard Jeff Schiffner led the way for Penn from downtown, hitting 5-of-7 threes and finishing with 19 points.

Though Villanova boasted future NBAers Allan Ray and

Randy Foye on the roster, neither could get going against Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense. Ray and Foye combined to score 10 points on 4-for-15 shooting.

For Penn, the victory over its Big 5 rival marked a huge step in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience is important from where we were a couple weeks ago to where we are now,â&#x20AC;? then-Penn coach Fran Dunphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys value what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything but play their best all the time.â&#x20AC;?

In an interesting subplot, Red and Blue fans eager to cheer their team on were largely confined to the upper levels of the arena normally used by the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 76ers. A cadre of students that attempted to sneak down to the lower level at halftime was stopped by security.

Penn would go on to storm through the Ivy League, posting a perfect 14-0 record in the conference and earning an 11-seed in the NCAA Tournament, where it fell to six-seed Oklahoma State.
