THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

PENN STUDENTS Members of groups such as Penn Dems attended Women’s March in Washington GENEVIEVE GLATSKY & CAROLINE SIMON News Editor & Senior Reporter

WASHINGTON — The day after 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump was officially sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, half a million protesters, including representatives from many student groups from Penn, descended on Washington, D.C. to attend the Women’s March on

Washington. The Washington Post reported that the number of people using the metro to get into the city to march was higher than it was for Friday’s inauguration. By 1:30 p.m., the streets of Washington were thronged with protesters bearing signs supporting not only women’s rights, but also other movements ranging from Black Lives Matter to environmentalism and animal rights. Other signs condemned

The influenza virus has officially hit the Philadelphia area, bringing with it much harsher symptoms than in previous years that are already affecting students on campus. “Normally if students have the flu, they call us and say, ‘I feel really crappy. These are my symptoms,’ and there are essentially self-care tips that our nurses or our doctors can give to the students as they ride out the flu,” Director of Campus Health Initiatives at the Student Health Service Ashlee Halbritter said. “What’s happening in larger numbers this year is that people’s symptoms are so bad that they have to be admitted to the hospital or the ER.” As of Dec. 31, 2016, SHS tracked 50 cases of influenza-like illnesses this season, and the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Public Health tracked 4,546 cases of influenza that tested positive in Pennsylvania, compared to the 639 cases that tested positive last flu season by the end of December. It is difficult to rely on these numbers to track the overall trend of the flu because, according to Halbritter, the flu peaks at different points each season, and last year, it peaked over two months later.

WASHINGTON — 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump was officially sworn in as President of the United States today, marking the first time a Penn graduate has held the highest political office in the country. The inauguration ceremony took place amid cloudy skies and chilly weather. Although the atmosphere was fraught with tension — over 200

GAs sacrifice free time to impact the lives of underclassmen

GAs trained to identify mental health issues CATHERINE DE LUNA Staff Reporter

Graduate students’ lives are busy and challenging, filled with homework and research. Those who choose to be graduate associates have the added task of caring for undergraduate residents. These select students have to balance work and the well-being of those who live with them. Graduate School of Social Policy and Practice student and second-year GA Monica Hanza previously worked with teens in the San Francisco Bay Area and found that being a GA complemented that experience.

“This [being a GA] is a way for me to stay connected … to mentor students, which is what I love to do.” Graduate School of Social Policy student and first year GA Annie McGunagle also has previous experience working with young adults. Upon coming to Penn, she wanted to subsidize the cost of going to graduate school and was excited to work with freshmen in Ware College House. “That type of accessibility is something that I never thought I would appreciate … it has been so much of an added bonus [living with residents].” However, even with their extensive experience with young adults, both Hanza and McGunagle have had challenges connecting with

their residents. In her first year, Hanza faced trouble helping her residents with important logistics, such as where to find the best burrito. However, she found that she could also talk to them about homesickness and the adjustment to college. McGunagle finds the most difficult thing about being a GA is keeping an eye on her residents’ mental health. She mentioned that training for GAs has a lot of focus on such needs, something she is very cognizant of. “How much ownership do I take onto that, and how can I be better?” McGunagle asked. Nursing graduate student Andrew Dierkes is in the Hillman Scholars Program in Nursing Innovation and is in his third year as

wasn’t fine, and I did need actual medicine.” Executive Director of the Student Health Service Giang T. Nguyen said those who are likely to suffer complications this year from the influenza virus are those who are not vaccinated, those who are pregnant and those with chronic diseases. Halbritter said those are the students she strongly encouraged to schedule an appointment with a provider to ensure their ongoing medical issues are not being compromised. There are several campus health initiatives at Penn focused on preventing the spread of the influenza virus, including talks at sorority and fraternity recruitment ceremonies, posters around campus and three flu vaccine clinics in October, which take place every year. One of their biggest challenges, Halbritter said, is that flu season always coincides with

big group events on campus, such as on-campus recruitment — though, now that it has Halbritter also said the flu will largely moved to the fall, to a likely peak this year in a couple lesser extent — and sorority and of weeks, and she expects to see fraternity recruitment.

He does not want to destroy the positive atmosphere he has worked so hard to create, but he is able find a silver lining in disciplining students. “Those end up being some of the better relationships because they are kind of tested in that way. There is kind of a reward hidden in the challenge.” These GAs have found that flexibility and organization are key to balancing school work and residential life and many, such as Hanza and Dierkes, return to the job again. “I just always find that I am learning how to do the job better,” Dierkes said.

In addition to homework, research and (sometimes) healthy social lives, graduate students can live in college houses as graduate associates.

pounding and you feel like you’re dying, but when you get home all you want to do is sleep, but you’re playing catch-up, and I feel like I might fall behind because of this sickness that doesn’t go away.” Halbritter said students should focus on preventing the flu, as

opposed to anticipating ways to treat it. Simple tasks like washing hands more thoroughly, limiting alcohol consumption, drinking fluids and getting more sleep are all ways she encourages students to take care of themselves and other students.

“Building that stronger immunity, both individually but also collectively, the herd immunity, is helpful,” Halbritter said. “So that even if it’s a bad flu season in Philadelphia, it doesn’t have to be a bad flu season on Penn’s campus.”

Penn Democrats: Health care TOE THE LINE | ERIN FARRELL

Few focal points of the Republican presidential cycle stood out with as much singularity and clarity as the promise to “repeal and replace” Obamacare, a rallying cry for much of the Trump electorate, regardless of class, race or gender. Yet, as several articles point out, many of these voters are enrolled in Obamacare and rely on its coverage for insurance — how did this dissonance aide in the election of Donald Trump? For many, as this highlights, the popular disdain for Obamacare, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, can be observed as a result of partisan branding (accidentally) and a simple lack of information as to what is a part of the Affordable Care Act or what the consequences of its repeal will really entail. Indeed, the heavy politicization and opaque rhetoric surrounding its repeal and its replacement, without definitive policy outlines for either step, eliminated any bipartisan steps to its amendment or expansion in any form. As a symbol of this politicization of the program, ac-

cording to a CNBC poll that surveyed two sample groups, 40 percent of subjects opposed “Obamacare,” while 37 percent of the group opposed the “Affordable Care Act.” Indeed, the moniker and the direct association with Obama and his legacy works to dispel many voters, who support specific policies under the program, but when prompted about the negatively connoted “Obamacare” were quick to decry its continuation. Similarly, a limit on how much the American electorate really knows about what Obamacare even entails and the benefits that they receive as enrollees — a symptom of what is commonly referred to as the “submerged state,” in which American citizens fail to understand what the government actually provides them, while complaining that government is too large despite their demand for its benefits and welfare — is another barrier to garnering support. For example, the coverage of prevalent preexisting-conditions or the fact that young adults can stay on the plans of their parents until age 26

are two facts that often go forgotten in the pushback by the Republican base against Obamacare. However, there are a few inarguable facts that must be realized in this debate. To begin, 23.5 million people

slowed to a 3.6 percent increase in insurance premium cost in 2016. It also enforced the elimination of discrimination based on gender, as well as enforcing a mental health parity law in permanence,

Additionally, health insurance premiums, while still rising, have risen at dramatically slower rates since the advent of Obamacare – for example, in the individual marketplace, the 9.9 percent growth rate of 2008 has

meaning that mental illness must be covered and treated the same way as physical health is. For many who support the notion of repeal and replace for Obamacare, the realization of just how much coverage will be lost, how many people will lose insurance and how much progress will be reversed can be statistically demonstrated. To be sure, however, the

ACA has its flaws when viewed from the left or the right. For some, instead of tearing down a failing, overcomplicated and bloated system, the ACA further ingrains that system. However, through the steady, promising growth of its marketplace and regulations, the ACA makes the United States’ previous health care system more tolerable, allowing it to stay afloat. Moreover, due to the actions of a handful of the 2009 Democratic majority caucus’ most conservative members, it does not contain a public option, failing to truly accomplish health care as a universal right. The ACA is not what it should be: universal health care for all. If anything, the ACA has been leftleaning, but hardly a liberal/ progressive attempt to insure all Americans. However, getting down to brass tacks, the repeal of the ACA will result in the loss of insurance for anywhere between 10 and 20 million Americans. Repeal and replacement of the ACA by an extremely right-wing Congress will not work, as the ACA is the most conservative

PENN DEMOCRATS version of subsidized health care that could feasibly function. The repeal of the ACA is irresponsible, amoral and a result of eight years of bad politics, manipulative branding and misinformation stemming from the Republican party — a partisan discord that will result in the removal of coverage for millions. TOE THE LINE examines issues from two different sides. Both Penn Democrats and College Republicans argue why their collective positions on major political issues is best for the country.

All other columns, letters and artwork represent the opinion of their authors and are not necessarily representative of the DP’s position.

Last Tuesday, a group of homophobic street preachers made yet another appearance on Penn’s campus, again creating a distressing situation for students understandably offended by the group’s bigoted and often intensely personal rhetoric. On the previous occasions in which the group has come to campus, the University has behaved admirably. Given that the preachers go out of their way to insult students on the basis of race, gender and sexual orientation, many schools would have been less scrupulous about being venues for the exchange of all ideas. Penn, by contrast, has protected the preachers’ right to speak by sending police officers and Open Expression Monitors to keep order and ensure the ability of both demonstrators and those who choose to confront them to have a

say. That precedent, however, was apparently not followed during the group’s most recent visit to campus. Although University spokesman Stephen MacCarthy denied knowledge of any Penn staff being instructed to interfere with the protests, a Facilities and Real Estate Services worker running the engine of a noisy maintenance vehicle at the site of one of the demonstrations told The Daily Pennsylvanian that he had been instructed to drown out the protesters by someone from the University. Although it remains unclear exactly who instructed FRES staff to disrupt the protest, we feel that the action, whoever initiated it, was inappropriate — particularly if motivated by the protesters’ unpleasant message. The DP sincerely understands that these protesters go out of their way

to be offensive, insulting and hurtful and that they in many cases succeed in deeply upsetting Penn students. We appreciate that

We furthermore find the chosen method of disruption — noisy landscaping equipment — to be clever,

function, however, we cannot condone official intervention in expressive activity. No matter how nasty the message, this was still a peaceful protest of the type that Penn explicitly allows. By the terms of its own

Guidelines on Open Expression, “the University affirms that the substance or the nature of the views expressed is not an appropriate basis for any restriction upon or encouragement of an assembly or a demonstration.” This commitment means that only the conduct of protesters can justify shutting down a demonstration, not their message. If the University has awarded itself discretion to decide what messages will go undisrupted on campus and which must compete with leaf blowers and Gator trucks, Penn’s robust climate of free expression is in jeopardy. Even if the University employee who initiated the disruption believed it to be justified under Penn policy, the chosen mechanism was nevertheless inappropriate. If an appropriate body had determined that the protesters had violated the Guide-

lines on Open Expression or any applicable criminal laws, it would have justified removing them from campus, not merely drowning them out. It is worth remembering also that this action did not silence only hateful views. A leaf blower or a truck engine drowns out love as well as vitriol, depriving students who might have wished to show support for their peers via counter-protest the chance to be heard as well. Ultimately, this was a transgression, not a travesty. Though sending leaf blowers to disrupt a hateful protest did not comport with our treasured vision of the University as an open forum for the vigorous exchange and contest of ideas, it was clever and, we are sure, well-meaning. We are disappointed, but not outraged at the decision, whoever made it. We hope it will not happen again.

Penn Law School professor is running for Philadelphia DA Joe Khan encourages students to join his cause WESLEY SHEKER Staff Reporter

Joe Khan is prepared to send a message to President Donald Trump if he is elected district attorney, and he wants Penn students to help. Khan is currently a professor of trial advocacy at Penn Law School and an attorney-at-law for Spector Gadon & Rosen, P.C. He has previously served as a U.S. federal attorney and an assistant Philadelphia district attorney. Now, Khan is running for Philadelphia district attorney. The election is May 16, the day after graduation, and Khan emphasizes that students should cast absentee ballots if they will not be in the city for the election. In an interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian, Khan discussed the controversial Philadelphia district attorney election, as well as his priorities if elected. Daily Pennsylvanian: Prior to the election, you said you would increase the resources being allocated to sexual assault, human trafficking and domestic violence. That was, of course, before the November election. Now that it appears there’s a possibility that the federal legal priorities will shift, have your priorities shifted? Joe Khan: Those remain the top priorities; that will still be

with a seemingly endless string of controversies. He frequently referenced his Wharton degree while campaigning, arguing that his Ivy League credentials have sharpened his business acumen. The only previous president with ties to Penn, William Henry Harrison, was president for one month in 1841 before dying of pneumonia. Harrison briefly attended Penn’s medical school in

something that happens on day one. In addition to those priorities, one of the many things that has changed since Donald Trump’s election has been the way in which I think about the role of the district attorney’s office and its relationship with the federal government. The district attorney’s office is going to have to be a bulwark against what appears to be likely excesses and infringements of the federal government. The best example I can give is Donald Trump has pledged to institute bans on Muslims in the country. If he is going to attempt to follow through on those threats, then I think it’s important that the people of Philadelphia understand that there is somebody on their side trying to stop that. I’m going to use every bit of power we have in the DA’s office to fight against that. DP: Do you think that’s going to be a likely battle the DA’s office is going to face? JK: I think it’s impossible to know with Donald Trump what’s real. I think we need to be prepared to take him at his word and be vigilant and ready to fight. I plan to be prepared. I would be sworn in during January 2018, and by then we would have a full year of Donald Trump as president — if he makes it through his first year. I think, at that point, we’ll know how much was boasting and how much was real. I’ll be

prepared to do what I need to do as district attorney to protect this city. DP: You have called for District Attorney Seth Williams’ resignation after the recent $62,000 ethics violation fine. Could you give a summary of your argument as to why he should resign now? JK: He has said that he needs to try to regain the trust of the people of Philadelphia. I’ve lived here my entire life. I love this city. The city deserves to have a DA that it trusts. You cannot govern when you’ve lost the moral authority to lead.

This is the district attorney. This is the person who is responsible for making decisions about who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t. These are life and death decisions, and if people start to feel that the system is rigged — that there are going to be two standards of justice for the well-connected and everybody else — that’s when people start to lose hope. And this is a time when hope is all a lot of us have. Whether you are a religious minority, whether your skin is brown, whether you are a member of the LGBT community or whether you’re a

woman, everyone has a reason to be fearful of what’s coming. The message I’m getting out to people is that, whoever you are ... I’m going to be a DA for you. I’m going to be a DA that fights for you. I’m going to be in your corner. By his own admission, [Williams] does not have the trust of the people of Philadelphia. You can’t have a DA that isn’t trusted. I’ve stepped up to challenge him to give the people an alternative, and on May 16th they’ll have that chance. DP: Why should Penn students take an interest in this election, and why should they

vote for you? JK: I want Penn students to do more than vote for me. I want Penn students to come and join our cause. I want Penn students to come and volunteer. I want Penn students knocking on doors. I want Penn students doing research. We have Penn students on board, and I want more of them. They’re fantastic. We have students at the law school that are doing legal research and policy research, which allows us to be thinking about these questions I have talked about today. If you are upset about the election results, and you want to send a message to someone like Donald Trump — who would not appreciate seeing the son of a Muslim immigrant with dark skin named Khan, who has prosecuted sexual assault, [has] called on his opponent to release his tax returns and is against building a wall, as DA — help me get elected. If you want to make sure you have a DA’s office that is fighting for people that don’t often have a voice, come join our cause. Let’s help make the Philadelphia DA’s office the dynamic, progressive engine of reform that it should be, and that the Philadelphia people deserve it to be. This is a people-powered campaign, and we need people like Penn students to help us get there. The interview was lightly edited for clarity and brevity.

1790, but dropped out after less than one semester. Although three of Trump’s children have graduated from Penn — including his daughter Tiffany in 2016 — he has a complicated relationship with the school. It is unclear how much money he has actually donated to Penn or Wharton, even though he has frequently boasted of his charitable giving. Today at Penn, two dozen students participated in a walk-out at 3:30 p.m. to protest Trump’s inauguration. Engineering senior Ava

Lipatti, a member of Penn Students for a Democratic Society, organized the walk-out. “We want to inaugurate our resistance to the inauguration of trump,” Lipatti said in a speech to the students assembled on College Green. “We have to have resistance in every step. We don’t have time to give trump a chance.” “The way the government is set up makes it easy for trump to carry out his agenda,” she added. Trump has faced harsh condemnation from the Penn

community throughout the election cycle. In July, 3,800 Penn students, graduates, parents, partners and family members signed a petition against Trump, declaring, “You do not represent us.” In the days and weeks following Trump’s unprecedented victory, Penn witnessed several protests from student groups, and professors cancelled classes and postponed exams to accommodate students who felt threatened by Trump’s victory. Many Penn students still chose

to attend the inauguration, including around 20 students from College Republicans. Although the group was initially divided over whether to support Trump, Wharton junior Sean Egan, the club’s president, said their excitement for a Trump presidency is at an all-time high. Egan said he hopes Trump will be a voice for all Americans as his presidency begins, and that he will reach across the aisle to accomplish certain legislative goals. “I think it’s important to

continue to emphasize how, even though he was elected by the people who voted for him, he now represents everyone in the U.S.A. — regardless of their background, where they’re from and so on,” he said. College Republicans is hoping to bring one or two top Trump officials to campus in the fall, and eventually even the president himself. “Penn is so important to him and his family,” he said. “It would be great to welcome him home.”

Partnerships with community orgs. pays off for Admissions

Admissions works with groups like Questbridge BRIAN ZONG Staff Reporter

Facilitating workshops on SAT preparation and hosting summer programs would not seem to fall under the purview of an admissions officer. But at Penn, the Admissions office partners with over 40 different community-based organizations that work directly with underrepresented high school students — low-income, first-generation and underrepresented minorities — on applying to and succeeding in college. “Our approach is going to be one in which how can we make sure that students are aware

Trump specifically with messages like “Women Are the Wall and Trump Will Pay,” and “My Rights Aren’t Up For Grabs”. Trump’s conservative platform and cabinet picks have sparked concern among progressives, while a video revealing his boasts about sexually assaulting women enraged people across the political spectrum. Penn students, who have decried perhaps their most famous alumnus throughout his unprecedented rise to power, flocked to the march in large numbers. Penn Democrats organized a large group of protesters, and Penn Hillel and the Muslim Student Association organized an interfaith bus to D.C. Feminist art collective We are Watching, which advocates against rape culture, also attended the march. Penn Democrats organized a group of 42 students to travel to the inauguration. Members

of Penn,” Dean of Admissions Eric Furda said. “How can we work with organizations that are supporting students … what can we learn overall about students transitioning into college?” These partnerships range from facilitating tours, to hosting community organization directors on campus, to developing contacts between admissions officers and such organizations. Tara Gellene — the senior director of college pathways at Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America — recalled how Penn helped excite a LEDA student about attending the university. “We had a student apply to Penn who was living in transitional housing at the time,” Gellene said. “We were in

strong communication with Nicole in admissions about this student, and after he was admitted to Penn early decision, she … went to visit him at his high school, and she brought him a whole bunch of Penn gear.” “Her belief to … reach out to the student, I think, really helped him start to see Penn as a place that he could call home,” she added. As a Steppingstone Scholar, C ol lege f r e sh m a n A ndy Nguyen took a summer course as part of the Blended Learning Initiative, a partnership between Penn and Steppingstone to offer a combination of online courses on Coursera and classes on Penn’s campus. “I learned a lot of study skills because a lot of it was college level material to get used to as

a rising high school junior,” Nguyen said. “I received a lot of support; not only did I learn about Greek and Roman mythology, I also learned about college [applications], SAT and interacted with a lot of Penn staff.” Furda said that the Admissions Office will strive to deepen its relationship with these community organizations by providing a source of information for all high school students considering college. “I hope we can become a knowledge base for these [community organizations],” Furda said. “We’re trying to incrementally improve the lives of students through higher education and part of that is for the students coming [to Penn], but it’s also much wider.”

made protest signs the night before to advocate causes they cared about, from women’s rights to environmentalism to outright condemnation of Trump and his ties with Russia. “It was insane, it was exhilarating — I loved it,” said Wharton freshman Dylan Milligan , political director of Penn Democrats. “I did not expect 500,000 people to show up to this.” The group made it all the way to the White House, where they even caught a glimpse of the man they were protesting. “The presidential motorcade drove by, and it was Trump, and we all booed loudly, and it was very fun,” Milligan said. “At the end of the day I felt that it was really important for there to be a Penn presence at the march given our relationship to the president,” said College senior Gavi Reiter , who is the former co-chair of the Student Sustainability Association at Penn. “There were a a lot of old alums that came up to me and would be like ‘I went to Penn too, crazy that this

is happening,’ so it definitely brought attention to the question of Trump attending our university today.” Reiter said that although the unexpectedly large size of the crowd made an organized march difficult, the confusion did not detract from the experience. “It was really amazing because people we had the whole city taken over by just a mass physical movement of people,” Reiter said. “Even when I thought I was done with the march and was going to walk back after like four hours it still felt like a march because of the sea of people.”

particularly “devastated” about Trump’s election. Rosenfeld said that although she initially felt apprehensive about attending the march the day after the inauguration that drew Trump supporters to the nation’s capitol, she found the event “incredibly peaceful.” “It was perfect. It was amazing to see this display of women coming together from all over the country and the world,” she said. “I really didn’t see even any police around. Everyone was really respectful.” Senior Jewish educator and campus rabbi at Penn Hillel, Ilana Schachter echoed these sentiments. “It really felt like complete strangers were being supportive and excited to be there with us, that that we were all there together as one, which I think is pretty remarkable for the size and scope of the march,” Schachter said. “Just everywhere that you turned you were greeted by people who wanted to talk with you and connect with you.” Schachter traveled to the

march on the interfaith bus organized by Penn’s Muslim Students Association and Hillel. After attending a Reform Jewish prayer service at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Capitol Hill, the religious groups from Penn headed out to join the march. “We knew that we couldn’t just stand on the sidelines,” said Nursing sophomore and board member of MSA, Du’Aa Moharram . “Our creed and our religion and our scripture teach us to stand up for the oppressed, stand up for the victims, and not let a tyrant rule untouched.” Moharram, and many other Muslim students at Penn, felt threatened by Trump’s rhetoric throughout the campaign, including his promise to impose a ban on Muslim immigration. But attending the march gave them hope. *** “It really felt revolutionary,” she said. “Looking around you, it really felt like the people were in a revolt, like we weren’t just going to lie down and take this.”

This is not the first time Penn students have participated in protests against Trump. Immediately following his victory, students held a solidarity march through campus. And after freshman students of color were targeted with racist GroupMe messages t hat referenced Trump, students, faculty and staff organized multiple walkouts and protests. Despite reports that the crowd could not march on account of being too large, the Washington Post reported that by 2:40 p.m. one of the organizers directed the masses to an alternative route down Constitution Avenue. One particular moment that stood out to Rosenfeld was when the women’s chant of “my body, my choice,” was responded to by the men in attendance with “their bodies, their choice.” “It was just so cool and so powerful to see that women aren’t fighting alone,” she said. “I think that if you’re not scared and you’re not paying attention, you should be now.”

Penn is currently need-blind for students and permanent residents of the United States, Canada and Mexico, which means the ability of these students to pay tuition does not affect admissions decisions. However, this policy does not extend beyond these countries since Penn is need-aware for international students. International students must be able to pay full-tuition or compete for the approximately $8 million of financial aid available for the applicant pool. Many international students at Penn apply to outside scholarships but report that they continue to feel financially stressed.

FINANCIAL AID BY REGION Most students from outside North America who received aid are from Asia, Europe or Africa. There were only two students each from Oceania and from the Middle East who received aid. The average total grant for the two students from the Middle East ($62,998) was almost twice that of the average total grant for the 14 students from South America ($34,216). The average total aid figures for students from Central America, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe all cluster around $50,000. Total aid averages for students from Oceania and South America were closer to $40,000, while these averages for students from Africa and the Middle East were above $60,000.

players while highlighting the aforementioned extraordinary performances.

BREVIN FLEISCHER

STARTERS Darnell Foreman, G - 7/10 Penn wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been much better off had the rest of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporting class replicated Foremanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poise and patience. The junior guard seemed to always be in control, moving the ball crisply, grabbing big rebounds, and slashing in and out of the paint. His strong play is reflected by his statline, which consists of 11 points, six rebounds, and four assists in a game-high 35 minutes of action. Caleb Wood, G - 5.5/10 Caleb Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to knock down the open three pointer diminished his performance in this game and rightly overshadowed some of his finer

rookie duo led the way Associate Sports Editor

Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball was never out of the fight against St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The players lasted the full twelve rounds. The two squads traded blows pretty evenly. But Penn always seemed to be the team up against the ropes, never able to throw that haymaker, and it showed on the scoreboard in a 78-71 loss. A lack of depth doomed the Quakers, as the supporting class was mostly unable to contribute at a level that would adequately complement the standout performances of this game. The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player ratings ref lect the predominantly average games of most

moments. The junior guard started strongly with a transition dunk and a couple of steals but ultimately only contributed five points on 2-8 shooting. Matt Howard, G - 9/10 Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in this game was so impressive that his 19 points and 12 rebounds fail to demonstrate just how impactful he was. The senior was the best player on the court for both teams, carrying Penn for long stretches during the first half. For a time, it appeared that he might be able to will the Quakers to victory, hitting timely threes, finishing through contact, and getting to the line. None of his buckets were gimmies, as he consistently had to weave through traffic only to be plastered to the f loor as he was finishing. Unfortunately, his Herculean efforts were not

rewarded with a victory. Sam Jones, F - 5/10 Much like with Wood, Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; impact was hindered by his inability to do what he does best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hit open threes. He replicated his teammateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-6 shooting from beyond the arc, and Penn suffered because of it. AJ Brodeur, F - 6/10 The freshman phenom had a pedestrian outing by his lofty standards, scoring only eight points while battling foul trouble throughout. The size of St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly frustrated the star forward, as the paint was clogged all night long. At times, Brodeur disappeared with Penn largely focusing on generating points from the outside. BENCH Ryan Betley, G - 8.5/10 The freshman was an absolute beast, turning in the best

performance of his short collegiate career. Coming off the bench, Betley scored 15 points in only 23 minutes. He spent most of the first half proving that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a catch-andshoot player, getting opponents in the air with his pump fake and putting the ball on the floor to get to the rim. After St. Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was forced to respect his ability to drive, the sharpshooter burned them from three-point land, knocking down three of his four attempts. All game long, Betley was the Robin to Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Batman. Jackson Donahue, G - 5/10 A lt hough energetic a nd active on the defensive end, the sophomoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was largely defined by his inability to register a field goal in 13 minutes of action. Devon Goodman, G - 5/10 The freshman played only

six minutes and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a shot. He looked as fast as ever on both ends of the floor, but with Foreman playing so well, Goodman was rarely needed. Tyler Hamilton, G - 6.5/10 Aside from the impressive act of fouling out in only seven minutes, Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was most notable for his disruptive presence on the defensive end. He drew a charge that kept momentum in Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor while the Quakers were making a late first half run, and he was constantly closing hard to shooters, adding difficulty to their shots. Max Rothschild, F - 5.5/10 Like his teammates Donahue and Goodman, the forward was innocuous for most of the contest. He scored five points and added two rebounds, but he failed to leave a substantial impact on the game.

Quakers open regular season with weekend split in Tennis-see TENNIS | A win and a loss go up in the match early.

in the Volunteer State MATT FINE Senior Sports Reporter

There were mixed results for Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis in the opening weekend of its spring season, as the Red and Blue kicked off the year down in the Volunteer State with a win over Middle Tennessee State and a sweep at the hands of Vanderbilt. The Quakers (1-1) began their season with a 5-2 victory against MTSU in Murfreesboro, Tenn., on Saturday. The Red and Blue came out playing well in doubles, with wins by the all-junior pairing of Nicholai Westergaard and Gabriel Raoport as well as the duo of junior Josh Pompan and senior Thomas Spratt helping Penn take the all-important doubles point to

Commodores swept Penn 6-0. Coach David Geatz was pleased with the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance this weekend despite being overwhelmed by a talented Vanderbilt squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They learned what the top level of college tennis looks like,â&#x20AC;? Geatz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said to them, if you want to be top-10 in the country, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how good it is. If everything possible goes our way in that match and we get lucky, we could have had a shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a match point to take the doubles point and lost it, but really those guys are just really good. In fact, they were probably the best team weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever played since I began coaching at Penn. I think by the end of the year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be a top-10 team.â&#x20AC;? Cancilla, again, performed admirably and was leading in his match but was unable to finish once Vanderbilt clinched the

At the top of the singles lineup, familiar faces led the way for Penn. Sophomore Kyle Mautner, ranked No. 112 in the NCAA preseason individual rankings, took care of business with a straight set win, as did 99th-ranked Pompan in the lineupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second position. In the third slot, senior Matt Nardella fought for an impressive three set win over an opponent ranked No. 113 in the nation, capping it off with a third set tiebreak. The Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second win, a win that clinched the match, was a come-from-behind threeset victory by freshman Max Cancilla. In his first collegiate regular season match, the rookie won 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 . Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup with Vanderbilt did not go as smoothly for the Quakers. Despite chances at victory in the doubles and several singles matches, the

Despite the loss, Geatz was optimistic about the play of the Huntington Beach, Calif., native. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic, and he makes a lot of balls. He only weighs 127 pounds so his biggest improvement will be in the weight room and if he can put on 10 pounds of muscle, his game will jump up another level,â&#x20AC;? Geatz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with Max. That was a great effort from a freshman.â&#x20AC;? Despite the mixed results this weekend, the Red and Blue showed their potential with a win over a solid MTSU team and by keeping their matches competitive against a Vanderbilt team that is shaping up to be one of the best in the country. As the Quakers fly back from their Tennessee weekend, they should be confident that this team is on track after a slightly disappointing 2016 spring season.

PENN 21 14 LOCK HAVEN

Grapplers fall to No. 7 Mountain Hawks, but beat Lock Haven

| Martino, Kent lead the way

WRESTLING

DAVID FIGURELLI Sports Reporter

Two steps forward, one step back. One weekend after a signature win against the 17th-ranked Stanford Cardinal, Penn wrestling (2-4, 0-3 EIWA) would go on to face another ranked squad, this time visiting No. 7 Lehigh (8-1, 6-0 EIWA) in Bethlehem on Friday. Unfortunately, the magic would not continue for the Quakers, as the Mountain Hawks were victorious in all but two bouts on the day. Lehighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyle Gentile forfeited his match against Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Heyob due to injury in the 184-pound weight class. The Red and Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only other victory came at the hands of senior Frank Mattiace against Lehighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Haas. Mattiace, who has an individual ranking of No. 15 in the nation in the 197-lb. weight class, won by a score of 5-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the difference in the Lehigh match was that we had a few close matches that could have gone either way that we lost,â&#x20AC;? Mattiace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we still wrestled pretty well, we just made a few mistakes that we need to adjust.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a few matches, I feel like they got off to faster starts,â&#x20AC;? Penn coach Alex Tirapelle added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In matches that were competitive, I felt like at the end we finished stronger and had chances to win. There were three matches where we finished better, but because the Lehigh guy jumped on us and got a better start, he was able to just hang on for the win.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers would not be discouraged by the loss, however, as they rolled to a 25-14 victory on

The Red and Blue only had two wins against Lehigh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one by forfeit due to injury, and another by No. 15 Frank Mattiace, who won 5-2.

Saturday against fellow Pennsylvania foe Lock Haven (5-6, 2-1 EWL). The Quakers jumped out to a quick 21-3 lead, before Lock Haven was able to make it interesting towards the end, drawing as close as 21-14. But sophomore AJ Vindici was able to seal the win with a major decision in the final match of the day, getting the Quakers their second win on the season. The day was marked by a wealth of the bonus points for the Quakers in the matches they did win, as five of the six Red and Blue victories came as major decisions or technical falls. Mattiace and fellow seniors Brooks Martino and Casey Kent joined Vindici in victory, as did juniors May Bethea and Joe Heyob. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today was a good day. We

put a lot of points on the board, which is always great to do at home and especially at this event,â&#x20AC;? said Martino, referring to the dual-competition that featured both the wrestling team and the gymnastics team competing simultaneously in the Palestra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was important to get this win. To get momentum and get the morale up and energy up when we come in and train this next week, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important,â&#x20AC;? added Tirapelle. The Quakers will look to build on this momentum as they look for their first conference victories in their duals next weekend, visiting Bucknell in Lewisburg on Friday before returning home to the Palestra on Sunday to face American.

Red and Blue goes undefeated in home tournament

FENCING | Philly Invite

was last meet before Ivy’s

MOSES NSEREKO Associate Sports Editor

“Can we go home now?” Those were the words whispered by Samantha Abbott, sophomore epee from Sacred Heart fencing, after her last bout against Penn. Abbot proceeded to walk off the strip and feign a collapse. The Red and Blue were just that good. To Abbott’s credit, she had just won her last matchup, but that proved to be an insignificant moment in Penn fencing’s monstrous day, as the Red and Blue went undefeated in both the men’s and women’s sides of the Philadelphia Invitational. The Quakers hosted their second invitational of the preseason at the Coach Dave Micahnik Center, and while many teams were welcomed, Penn made sure to claim its seat at the head of the table. Both teams produced mirror 6-0 records on the day, posting

wins against Duke, Haverford, NYU, and NJIT, and Sacred Heart. The men’s sixth win came against Drew, while the women closed their day with an impressive performance to defeat Temple. For freshman foil Willie Upbin, the Philadelphia Invitational presented his first chance to fence at home, after he missed the season-opening home invitational for the Quakers due to illness. “To fence at home, it was huge,” the Brooklyn native said. “My entire fraternity pledge class came, and to have the parents of the kids on the team [come], that was awesome.” Upbin was sure to take advantage of his home debut, scoring a squad-high 11 wins for men’s foil. Upbin noted the importance of a strong rebound performance against NYU, after having two of his three losses for the day in the third match against Duke. “[For me,] it was all about NYU; I definitely came into the day knowing I wanted to fence really well against them, because

they have a tough foil team,” Upbin said. “So, starting off the first bout, winning 5-4, and getting a really clutch touch to win was probably the highest point of the day. It set everything else off.” Upbin’s results contributed to a men’s team that was firing on all cylinders Saturday. Junior epee Jake Raynis produced an impressive 15 wins, the most for the men for the day. Freshman Connor Mills continued a strong first season with 10 wins to lead the saber squad. Overall, nine fencers recorded at least seven wins today, three from each men’s event squad. The women looked even more impressive in their six wins, with nine of their fencers recording eight or more wins on the day. Also notable were the undefeated performances posted by the women, with junior Arabella Uhry, and seniors Cassidy Seidl and Alejandra Trumble posting no losses in their bouts in saber, foil, and epee respectively. Trumble also posted a team-high 16 wins to post a strong finish to

her last Philadelphia Invitational. While the big performances by seniors told the story, so too did the continued success of Penn’s surging freshmen contingent. Among them was saber Vicotria Zhang, who posted nine wins and only three losses in her second competition at the Coach Dave Micahnik Center. Zhang chronicled the improvements she’s experienced from her first home competition to now. “The first time I had no idea what to expect, and it was a little bit less exciting this time around because I knew what to expect,” the California native said. “But, then again, I had more freedom to fence how I fence naturally, because I knew how we were gonna do things.” For Penn, the focus now shifts to February, headlined by the Ivy League Championships. Although the Quakers’ next event takes them to another invitational at Notre Dame, the squads are already thinking about what it will take to peak for the Championships.

Leading the way for Penn fencing in the Philadelphia Invitational was senior captain Alejandra Trumble, won went 16-0 on the day.

“Obviously, Ivies has been the goal. It’s been in all of [our] ears since we got here,” Upbin said. “We want to repeat, that’s all we’ve been thinking about. NCAAs is way down the line. Regionals is way down the line; it’s been about Ivy’s since the second we got on campus.” For Zhang, peaking means bringing the best for her team’s success. “I really want to fence my

best; I want to fence better than I have before. But whether I win or whether I lose, it’s not just for myself,” she said. “I have to remember that [Ivies] is a team effort.” With the countdown to Ivies heating up, this most recent team effort was Penn’s best to date. You can tell it’s on the Quakers’ minds: repeat. Now, it’s up to the rest of the league to try and take it to them.

Moore’s heroics wins her Penn Athletics Weekend MVP GYMNASTICS | Captain

sealed late comeback win

COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor

The epic last-rotation comeback by Penn gymnastics in its home opener against Yale was certainly a team effort, but the way sophomore captain Caroline Moore put the team on her back was a performance the likes of which Penn Athletics has rarely seen this year. Even as the meet began poorly for the Red and Blue overall, Moore was on a mission as soon as she entered the Palestra. Penn trailed by 0.950 points after the vault competition, but that already gaudy deficit could’ve been even worse if not for the efforts of Moore, whose 9.700

score individually won the event. After that surprisingly rough opening rotation for the team, the comeback effort began for the Quakers, and Moore was absolutely at the forefront. Her second event of the day also saw her bring home her second individual win, as she scored 9.800 on the beam to help Penn trim the deficit to a more reasonable 0.525 points entering the team’s final event. But it was in that final event — the floor exercise — that both Moore and her entire team would enter the history books. All six Penn athletes to compete in the event either set new or tied previous career-highs, with Moore once again leading the way. A vibrant routine saw Moore score a ridiculous 9.875 points, tied with teammate Alex Hartke for the best mark of the day and the

fourth-best ever at Penn, as Penn’s overall score of 49.025 points in the floor event was its fifth-best in school history. And just for good measure, Saturday represented only the second time Moore has competed on the floor in her Penn career. Overall, Moore’s day concluded with three wins in the three only events she participated in, with a team-leading 29.375 points allaround. And most impressively of all, the sophomore was battling strep throat throughout the week, showing no signs of performing at anything less than 100 percent. Needless to say, without Moore’s historic performance, Penn walks away from the Palestra the victim of a major upset at the hands of a winless Yale squad — and for that, the sophomore is our Penn Athletics’ Weekend MVP.

2-0 Ivy) for the majority of the afternoon, though, as Yale was completely in control up until that last rotation. Though Penn sophomore captain Caroline Moore took first place in the vault during the team’s first rotation, a few key errors limited the team’s score in that event to a disappointing 47.800, putting the Quakers in a tough 0.950point deficit. Though the team scored a solid 48.375 on both the bars and the beam — boosted by Moore’s second individual win of the day, as she scored 9.800 on the beam — No. 58 Yale (0-5, 0-1) still held a 0.525-point lead going into the final rotation, appearing primed to pull off the upset and snatch its first win of the year. Penn had other ideas. “After beam, we just had a little fire under our butts; we weren’t nervous, we were just motivated,” Levi said. “I don’t think at any point people looked around saying, ‘we can’t do this.’” Taking center stage of the Palestra both literally and figuratively in the sport’s most energetic event, the Red and Blue wasted no time proving their captain right. Sophomore Morgan Hunker opened the event by tying her previous career-high with a 9.725 score. Levi followed that up with 9.825 points – her new career-high – in her third event of the day. Sophomore Nicole Swirbalus matched Hunker with a 9.725 that also marked a tie of her personal best. With only a pair of gymnasts remaining, the Quakers found themselves in a position to pull off the incredible comeback, and Penn’s final two competitors would leave nothing to chance. Competing in her third event despite battling strep throat,

Junior Alex Hartke matched her floor score of 8.875 to seal the gymnastics’ team epic comeback over Yale on Saturday.

Moore did her best impression of Michael Jordan’s “Flu Game” with her greatest performance yet, as her nearly flawless routine secured 9.875 points to win her third event of the day. Not to be outdone, junior Alex Hartke scored 9.875 herself to tie Moore for the event win and emphatically conclude one of the most thrilling event rotations in recent memory. “We really tried to put the past three events behind us and focus on floor and just going big, putting it all out there,” said Moore, who had an all-around score of 29.375 across three events. “We’ve been training so hard in the gym and really doing a lot of pressure sets that prepare us for meet situations like this, so we all definitely felt prepared.” When all was said and done, the Quakers’ score of 49.025 in the event was the fifth-highest in school history, and their best

since March 2015. Even more incredible, all six Quakers to compete on the floor either set new career-highs or tied their previous ones, with freshman Kellie Flavin’s 9.675 joining the aforementioned five athletes. “I don’t think any of us wa l ked away from f loor thinking that was a surprise; everybody walked away with a routine that they felt good about and that they had been practicing,” Levi said. “I think it was a confidence builder, but not a surprise.” With the win, the Quakers stayed atop the Ivy League and snatched their overall highest team score since February 2015 in the process. Next up, the Red and Blue will travel to West Chester for their second dual meet. Should their momentum continue, the gymnastics world may see something simply unbelievable.

mount furious late comeback

COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor

Fresh off a season-opening performance in which it secured its highest team score in 23 months, Penn gymnastics was facing a tall order if it wanted to do something even more incredible in its home opener the following week. But the Quakers managed to do just that — and then some. After trailing for nearly the entirety of their dual meet against Yale on Saturday, the Red and Blue stunned the crowd with a ridiculous effort of 49.025 points in the floor exercise, pulling off

a comeback for the ages in the final event and securing a wild 193.575-192.125 win. “We had just a team huddle without the coaches right before floor, and we said, ‘Nobody can hold back on this, we really have nothing to lose,’” said junior captain Kyra Levi, who individually took third place in the event. “So everybody kind of went full force ahead, and we got it done.” Things looked bleak for No. 42 Penn (3-1, SEE COMEBACK PAGE B7

stretch. Howard also chipped in 12 rebounds, giving him the contest’s only double-double. Freshman Ryan Betley — playing in just his fifth career game — also excelled on the evening, putting up 15 points in just 23 minutes. However, that Penn lead turned out to be ephemeral. After Brown drilled a three to make the score 38-36, St. Joseph’s never looked back, leading the remainder of the game en route to the seven-point victory. The Hawks got the lion’s share of their points from the free throw line, making 72 percent of their 43 foul shots. Donahue was not overly concerned at that total, though, pointing to the team’s positional inexperience. “We’ve always been good about defending and not fouling since I got here. [Fouling] has always been a pet peeve of mine,” Donahue said. “In their defense, the guys aren’t really comfortable in their roles. They come in trying to prove they can stop a guy, and they overreact.” “But it just has to stop,” Donahue admitted. The second-year coach was also quick to praise the play of Betley, who missed the season’s first nine games due to injury. “Ryan has this confidence and fearlessness about his game,” Donahue said. “He’s a really good athlete. As he gets stronger and more experienced, I think we’ll have a really good player.” Saturday’s game was another

on the west coast,” coach Jack Wyant said. “We took a few hours after the match today to wander the campus.” After falling 7-2 to No. 1 Harvard last weekend, Penn has refused to back down. The team won three matches in Philadelphia over the next three days – including a 5-4 decision against No. 3 Trinity – before flying across the country to face Stanford. For the Cardinal, hosting east coast opponents is about just as unfamiliar as it is for the Quakers to find themselves in California. Stanford did not have a single home match last season, but managed to secure a four-game stay this year. The Red and Blue came on the end of that home stretch, a day after the Cardinal almost earned its first-ever win over No. 6 Yale in a 5-4 nail-biting loss. Sunday’s match with the Quakers, however, showed no sign of making such history. At the top of the ladder, Salah continued her perfect play this season. In addition to being Squash Player Magazine’s reigning Female Player of the Month for her performances as a member of Team USA, the sophomore is now 7-0 for the Red and Blue in the current campaign. One step below her, junior Marie Stephan filled in for

remain winless in Big 5 TOM NOWLAN News Editor

To win big games, a team has to dig deep. But Penn men’s basketball, as of late, has spent an awful lot of time digging itself into holes. The Red and Blue couldn’t escape an early 15-point deficit Friday, staging a furious comeback before coming up short to St. Joseph’s in a 78-71 loss at the Palestra. With the defeat, the Quakers’ remain winless in the season’s most important games, as they are a combined 0-6 in Big 5 and Ivy League play. “St. Joe’s made some shots early that gave them some confidence,” Penn coach Steve Donahue said. “We just couldn’t get over that hump.” Behind the offensive exploits of freshman forward Charlie Brown and sophomore guard Lamarr Kimble, the Hawks (9-9, 1-2 Big 5) jumped out to a 31-16 lead during the first 14 minutes. Kimble went on to finish the contest with a gamehigh 23 points while Brown added 19. But Penn (6-9, 0-3) responded with a surge. Over the final five minutes of the first half and the first two minutes of the second, the Quakers went on a 20-4 run to go up, 36-35. Senior forward Matt Howard led the way, scoring 10 of his team-high 19 points over that

challenging contest for sophomore Jackson Donahue. The guard failed to make a single field goal over 12 minutes of play, picking up his lone point at the free throw line. During his freshman season a year ago, the Connecticut native shot 38 percent from three-point range while averaging 25.3 minutes per game. “When you have a freshman year like he had, people are aware of you. He gets hounded,” coach Donahue said. “It’s been difficult for him to get clean looks.” The Quakers will look to salvage a victory in their Big 5 finale at La Salle Wednesday before resuming Ivy play at Harvard on Feb. 3.

Something about the California weather seems to agree with Penn sports teams. Penn women’s squash went a good distance to Palo Alto, Calif. for a meeting with Stanford on Sunday, but jet lag was not a problem as the No. 2 Quakers topped the No. 5 Cardinal, 6-3. Despite the small difference in rankings, a look at the shared history between the two sides would not have suggest anything but another victory for the Red and Blue (6-1, 1-1 Ivy). In both of the teams’ last two meetings, the Quakers managed to sweep their California opponents, once at home and once on the road. While the margin of victory was not as great on Sunday, the win still brings Penn’s record to 12-0 all-time against the Cardinal (3-4). Heading to the Pacific coast provided a nice change of pace for the Quakers, who have had a high degree of success in recruiting in the area. Penn’s Reeham Salah is the second Seattle-native to play No. 1 for the Red and Blue. “We really enjoy getting out

injured Melissa Alves at the No. 2 spot, winning her match in five games. “We’re lucky that we have so much depth and were able to get the win without her [Alves],” Wyant said. “But we’re really looking forward to having her back in the lineup soon.” All of the Quakers’ wins came from the top six spots on the ladder. Freshman Jessica Davis and sophomore Rowaida Attia swept their opponents while seniors Anaka Alankamony and Michelle Wong both finished in four. Despite the three losses from the No. 7, 8 and 9 positions, depth has never shown to be a problem for the Red and Blue, and the one-time showing does little to suggest that it will be in the future. “Anytime you can claim a victory against a top-five team, it’s best to enjoy that rather than to nitpick,” Wyant said. After five matches in eight days, three of which were against top-five opponents, the Quakers have earned a bit of rest. With the non-conference portion of their regular season now finished, Wyant’s side has a 10-day break in competition before Ivy League play picks up again against No. 4 Princeton. “I’m looking forward to giving them a few days off,” the seventh-year coach said.
