Hack an app (and a future) at PennApps

Successful past competitors have pursued programming careers after the hackathon BY GEORGE ROSA Contributing Writer

Hackers at PennApps this weekend will take home much more than $30,000 in prize money. For past winners, the hackathon’s 48 hours have gone a long way in defining their current careers. They claim that PennApps is more about the process than the result. For 2011 Wharton graduate Matt Newberg, PennApps was the “single best entrepreneurial opportunity” he had in college. He and his team

produced MeepMe, which won the Student Choice Award that year. The app enabled Penn students to text anonymously for the playful pursuit of friendships or romance. Newberg was able to “use the momentum” from that experience to found his app-based startup, which he now operates in New York. For 2012 Engineering graduate Kevin Conley, the hackathon is “more about having fun.” Conley’s team won the 2010 Student Choice Award for µWave, a microwave enabled with Youtube-playing, phonetexting and Twitter-posting capacity. Hackers “get sucked into the energy of the event,” Conley said. Varun Sampath, a 2012 Engineering graduate and Conley’s team

BY VICTORIA MOFFITT Staff Writer When he walked into Home Depot, he was hoping to get arrested. He had been incarcerated twice before, but only for about three months each time. “It wasn’t enough time for me,” he said. On Oct. 27, 2012, Jose took items off the shelves at Home Depot and put them in a bag, knowing that he would be apprehended. Retail theft was the minimum crime he could commit in order to go back to jail. “I had no choice but to put myself [in prison],” said Jose, whose last name is not included in this article to protect his privacy. Jose had struggled with opiate dependence for the past 15 years.

programmers, the gender ratio for previous competitions has been 7030 in favor of men, Mittal estimated. That disparity is a function of a gender gap in enrollment for relevant courses. Regardless, the hackers agreed that their craft has become more mainstream than ever in 2014. Sampath attributed the trend to the commercial success of technologies such as smartphones and tablets. “Many phones come bundled with development tools now,” Conley said. And many experienced members of the hacking community dedicate their hacking hours to making tools that facilitate entry for newcomers, he SEE FUTURE PAGE 8

Houses offer CAPS liaisons, encourage open door policies to support residents BY LAURA ANTHONY Deputy News Editor

Although he had stopped using heroin eight years ago, he was still addicted to methadone, a longerlasting, legal substance used as a substitute for heroin. But he worried that the emotional struggle of a complete detox would lead him back to heroin, so he decided that he needed to return to jail to get clean. “I told [the public defender], ‘I need some type of support system that can help me get back into society. I need someone to work with me and help me,’” Jose said. “Because I couldn’t do it alone.” He found that support system in the Goldring Re-entry Initiative, a program at Penn’s School of Social Policy & Practice. Since the 20112012 academic year, the GRI has paired students pursuing their master’s degree in social work with men and women who are incarcerated in

College graduate and CEO Rich Ross talked about how he was able to transition to and succed in the business world after majoring in English and International Relations at Penn.

In recent weeks, Penn has engaged in an active discussion about addressing mental health concerns on campus. College Houses are taking their own steps to make sure that residents feel supported at home. “We devote significant time in our weekly meetings to discussing not only how the residents in each House — including the RA and GA staffs — are coping with the recent tragedies but also how we as a department might contribute to the campus dialogue and any ideas to improve services and communications,” Associate Director of Communications for the College Houses Sue Smith said in an email. College houses have adopted a number of strategies, some independent and some collective, to make sure their students feel comfortable coming to house staff with concerns about themselves or friends. To engage students with R As and GAs, senior house staff and other residents, Ware, Riepe and several other houses have encouraged staff to keep their doors open so residents can feel free to reach out. Riepe College House Dean Marilynne Diggs-Thompson said that

member, noted that the final destination for his team’s winning app — like most apps — “was the trash.” Nonetheless, the rush of sheer joy and practical experience acquired in those 48 hours makes it worthwhile, the hackers said. PennApps participants are “really smart people driven to build things,” said Newberg. “In that dynamic, anything can happen.” Pulak Mittal, a two-year director of the contest and 2013 Engineering and Wharton graduate, agreed fully. PennApps attracts students from a wealth of backgrounds, he said, from those who study computer science to those who dabble in programming on the side. Despite outreach efforts for female

GRI helps connect clients to courses RE-ENTRY from page 1 Philadelphia prisons. These student interns work closely with the offenders for three months before they are released and another three months afterward to aid their re-entry into the community. They help their clients transition out of prison, assisting in areas like employment, housing and education. “There are social services within the jail, and everyone inside the prison system has a social worker,” Cate Collins, the director of the GRI, said.

“And then there are a number of agencies in the city that are providing good resources and have good programs [for exoffenders]. But there’s nothing to bridge that gap.” The GRI helps connect its clients to these city-wide organizations, sometimes by enrolling them in computer literacy courses or helping them gain entry to community college through agencies such as Philadelphia RISE — Reintegration Services for Ex-Offenders. On any given day, there are 9,000 people in Philadelphia jails, Collins said. Over the course of each year, 30,000 to 40,000 people cycle through the prison systems and often recidivate, returning to jail soon after they’re released, she explained. “When a person who’s in-

carcerated is released, their likeliness to recidivate is very high,” Britney Thornton, the GRI’s student coordinator, said. “We know that each month that someone is able to stay out without returning, the likelihood that they won’t ever return increases. The model that we have walks them through [those] first three months to [help them] never return to prison.” Jose started working with Fae Stone, an intern with the GRI, in October — three months before his release on Dec. 23. Stone met with Jose once a week to discuss his goals and concerns about reentering the community and to create a detailed plan of action to implement upon his release, which the GRI calls a “discharge plan.” “I would look forward ev-

ery week to meeting with Ms. Stone because it’s a one-onone communication,” Jose said. “I felt comfortable to spill out and be honest, truthful. I feel like that’s the only way I could help myself do the right things.” He took out the spiral notebook he used while incarcerated. He f lipped to a page from his earliest meetings with Stone, where she had asked him to list some of his professional and personal traits. His answers were written in neat, capital letters: H A R D -WOR K ER , SPI R ITUAL, SENSE OF HUMOR, AMBITIOUS. Jose explained that at the same time he was working with Stone, he decided to stop taking methadone. “I detoxed right there. I went through all the emotions, the thoughts and everything in there,” he said. “I started feeling a relief. I started thinking more clearly. I started reading books and I could understand them a lot more … I cried so much because of happiness.” Now that he is back at home

with his family, Jose plans on enrolling in the Community College of Philadelphia, where he hopes to study culinary arts. He said his greatest challenge at the moment is finding a job that will hire an ex-offender. Before he was incarcerated in October 2012, he applied for a job operating forklifts. He had experience and had gone through training to obtain certification. “First thing they ask is if I have ever been incarcerated — ‘Sorry, we can’t hire you,’” Jose said, shaking his head. “That’s like getting shot, that’s like putting a hole in me.” He’s confident that Stone and the GRI will help him find employment, however. “With the program, I don’t feel alone out there. I feel like I’m working with someone who’s willing to help me and support me in making different decisions,” Jose said. One of Britney Thornton’s clients, Cameron, who was arrested for drug charges, felt that the most helpful aspect of the GRI was “just having

some help, period.” “The other times [I was incarcerated], I didn’t have help,” Cameron said. “Britney has a nice personality, it makes her easy to talk to. I tell her everything.” Stone explained that many ex-offenders feel helpless. “For a lot of [clients] it’s very anxiety-producing and frightening to be out in the community. For one of my clients, I’m it — I’m his only resource,” she said. “He’s been in the system his whole life ... He feels like the only thing he’s good at is being in jail, which is not true, but that’s his image of himself. And that’s really difficult to get past.” After 16 months in prison and five months working with Stone, Jose is hopeful about his future. “The way I feel right now, I don’t feel like going back and getting incarcerated. I have no urges of using [drugs] because of the support I have,” he said. “There’s no way I could fail,” he said, pounding the table with each word. “There’s no way I could fail.”

One year later, Quakers again affected by elements W. HOOPS | Red and Blue will have a tough time handling Elis veteran backcourt duo BY SUSHAAN MODI Senior Staff Writer One year later, Mother Nature still loves wreaking havoc in the days leading up to a game between Penn and Yale. Exactly a year ago this week, when Penn women’s basketball made the journey to New Haven, Conn., three feet of snow fell on Yale’s campus. The elements forced the game to be rescheduled multiple times, as well as a hotel evacuation at 4 a.m. and ultimately a change in venue. This year, with snow hitting the Eastern Seaboard earlier in the week, the Bulldogs (10-10, 4-2 Ivy) arrived in Philadelphia on Wednesday, a night earlier than usual. Luckily, both teams will avoid off-court drama, and the weather shouldn’t dampen the narrative and importance of Friday’s game.

Yale 10-10, 4-2 Ivy Tonight, 7 p.m. The Palestra

Brown 8-12, 2-4 Ivy Saturday, 7 p.m. The Palestra

Within the Ivy League, it’s very much a four-team race, as only one game separates Yale, Penn, Princeton and Harvard. The Red and Blue (14-5, 4-1) will have to play their best if they hope to win and remain within striking distance. Unfortunately for the Quakers, Yale has been Penn’s kryptonite in recent years. The current group of seniors has only beaten coach Chris Gobrecht’s squad once in the past three years and dropped both contests last season. In their last matchup, Red and Blue spotted the Elis a 19-point lead, and the team couldn’t overcome the hole it dug for itself. “I think it’s important [to get out to a good start], like every

game,” junior forward Katy Allen said. “Especially with Yale, if we come out stronger, it takes away their momentum. They’re a team that relies heavily on momentum. When they start well, their whole night tends to go well.” The Elis, who are coming off a loss to Harvard last weekend, have some of the best guard play in the Ancient Eight. Senior Janna Graf and junior Sarah Halejian have averaged 10.2 and 15.6 points per game, respectively, and each can single-handedly keep Yale in the game. “I think Halejian is going to score just because of her natural ability, when she’s got the ball in her hands she can create her own shot,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “They got two of the better guards in the league, for sure.” By opening up the lanes and drawing the attention of defenders, Yale’s guards are some of the league’s best at creating space and open shots for their teammates. As a result, it will be particularly important for Penn, a team that is tops in the Ivies in points

allowed per game, opponents’ field goal percentage and threepoint field goal percentage allowed, to limit the effectiveness of the Elis’ guards. “They’ve played a lot of minutes at Yale, [have] good composure, so we’re really going to have to work hard,” McLaughlin added. “It’s one of those things where we’re going to have to make them work for what they get.” No matter what happens on Friday, the Quakers won’t be able to let up on Saturday as they host Brown (8-12, 2-4), a team capable of putting the Quakers on upset alert. The game will mark Penn women’s basketball’s annual pink game to raise awareness for breast cancer. But first the Quakers must focus their attention on Yale. “It’s really ironic, we spent three days last year trying to play that game at Yale … and now the coin is flipped a little bit,” McLaughlin said. Snow or not, with an Ivy title on the line, the Red and Blue will have to hope the coin lands in their favor.

As the Quakers face a dynamic backcourt duo from Yale, junior forward Katy Allen and the rest of Penn’s frontcourt will have to assert themselves this weekend.

Quakers hope to put solid performances together in final stretch WRESTLING | After a subpar performance last weekend, Penn looks to bounce back vs. Lions BY SEAMUS POWERS Staff Writer For Penn wrestling, the plan is simple as it enters the final stretch of the season: just compete and let the results unfold as they may. “We’re gonna go out and wrestle hard and see what happens,” coach Rob Eiter said about this weekend’s home dual against Columbia (6-4), a team that demands respect. Perspective factors in largely in the Quakers’ mindset. They have no title to defend, no winning streak to maintain. “There’s no pressure anymore,” Eiter said. “What’s the worst that can happen?”

AD search process touches all TONY from page 20 to the process, it’s still beyond pathetic that Wednesday’s open forum drew an attendance of just one. In fact, it’s apathetic. For starters, alumni, staff and faculty clearly care more than students about Penn Athletics. These groups together comprised an audience of fifteen at Tuesday’s open forum dedicated to those particular sectors of the Penn community, also not a robust number but at least enough to facilitate a discussion. Moreover, I know plenty of alumni

Columbia 6-4

After a subpar overall performance at Brown , the Red and Blue (5-6) are looking to bounce back against a Columbia squad that has won five of its last six duals. The Quakers are also seeking to reverse their fortunes at the Palestra, a site where they are just 1-3 at this season. And what better time to do that than this Saturday, which is Senior Day for Penn? While the Quakers’ lineup does not feature a set of highprofile seniors, this year’s graduating class is highly respected. “Some of them were [part of] my first or second recruiting class,” Eiter said. “They’re good, solid kids that are very

important pieces to the program.” C a pt a i n A nd r e w L e n z i echoed Eiter, saying, “The guys who are graduating have

been an instrumental part of our team.” Heav y weight Steve Graziano, who is 2-2 against Ivy League opponents this season,

is one of a few seniors expected to compete on Saturday. Penn will also put a senior on the mats for the 174-pound bout, whether it be Zach Agostino or Brad Wukie who gets the call. Whoever does grapple will have his hands full, as No. 10 Shane Hughes, who is 7-1 in duals this season, will be the opponent in waiting. No. 20 Josh Houldsworth, who competes at 165 pounds, is the Lions’ other ranked grappler. Houldsworth is set to take on one of Penn’s best, No. 17 Casey Kent. Kent is look i ng to best Houldsworth for the second straight time, as he won last year’s matchup, 1-0. “He’s by far our most consistent kid right now,” Eiter said of Kent. Eiter also called Houldsworth “very smart.” “It’ll be a good match, that’s for sure.”

who care very much about the athletic director search, some who are encouraged by its trajectory and some who believe it has been doomed from the start. Yet hope and disgust are still vital signs of engagement. More than a dozen rows of empty seats in an empty venue reserved soley for students are anything but. At some point, the onus is on the student to start caring. It’s true that Penn Athletics itself is to blame for much of the apathy throughout the student body. Indeed, Penn Athletics has to be much better under the next athletic director at working through student groups to promote athletic events, creatively raising incentives to come to these events and more accurately evaluating coaches and administrators to give many programs a greater chance of winning consistently. Penn Athletics can and must do

more once Bilsky’s successor takes over. And since I was one of only three students in attendance at Wednesday’s open forum, I said all of this point blank to the advisory committee, including Penn Provost Vincent Price and Penn Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli. I applauded Bilsky’s fundraising efforts and I questioned some of his personnel and marketing decisions. I quite ironically lamented student apathy towards Penn Athletics to a committee that was getting ignored in real time by its student body and talked about ways to combat similar unconcern in the future. I pointed to Franklin Field, the Palestra and the Penn Relays as historically incredible resources in Athletics’ favor. But I’ve written about all of this before. I’ve spoken with Bilsky, Price and Penn President

Amy Gutmann previously on these issues. I’ve taken advantage of that kind of access during my time with the DP so that you, the student, can decide for yourself where Penn Athletics stands. But when an advisory committee gives you the same access and you don’t respond, you get whatever you get. In the end, the advisory committee got a lesson firsthand about the prevalence of student apathy towards Penn Athletics. They came, they saw, they got stood up. The crossroads that Penn Athletics faces is between past generations that automatically rallied behind championship varsity programs and future generations that promise even more demographically diverse

student bodies with ever-diverging extracurricular interests. This crossroads separates the past Penn Athletics that didn’t need a marketing department or record fundraising campaigns to figure prominently in students’ lives for much of the late twentieth century and the future Penn Athletics that will rely more than ever on philanthropy and increasingly refined infrastructure within its varsity programs’ boards and committees just to stay afloat. Before students give back in the future, they have to care in the present. And many do. But apparently not enough to draw any participating audience whatsoever to help see Penn Athletics past that crossroads when it’s asking for help. The stark absence of such an audience isn’t wholly indica-

Saturday, 1 p.m. The Palestra

Senior heavyweight Steve Graziano will take to the mat on Senior Day against Columbia hoping to improve on his 2-2 Ivy record.

A win Saturday would give Penn a chance to finish with a winning dual record — both overall and in the Ivy League. Saturday also provides a platform for the Quakers to wrestle up to their own standards and also gain confidence. “The [Brown dual] was not a reflection of the quality and talent level of our team by any standard,” Lenzi said. “Once you get some wins under your belt, you start to gain confidence, but a couple bad losses can hurt that confidence. It’s important to build that confidence and maintain it.” The Quakers will look to do just that on Saturday as they march toward championship season. “All bets are off right now,” Eiter said. “Let’s strap on the boots, and let’s get it on.”

tive of how little students care about Penn Athletics, but I’ve seen too many empty Palestras and Franklin Fields to know that it’s no anomaly either. You certainly don’t have to be a current or former senior sports editor of the DP to be heard over the next several weeks as this search process runs its course. But although the advisory committee could really use a multiplicity of student voices in its ear right about now, perhaps the many empty seats throughout our courts, fields and now the Hall of Flags have said enough already.

Penn takes its show on the road to State College W. TENNIS | Suddenly-hot Quakers set to take on Penn State and Marshall BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor Though a fresh coat of snow is presently cover i ng the Hamlin Tennis Center, winter weather isn’t about to slow down Penn women’s tennis. Saturday, the Quakers will travel to State College, Pa., to take on No. 57 Penn State and Marshall in their first road match of the season. Penn (2-2) is facing a famil-

iar foe in the host Nittany Lions (3-4) and an unfamiliar one in the Thundering Herd (3-2). The Red and Blue have evenly split the 32-game all-time series with Penn State but have only played Marshall twice, winning meetings in 2007 and 2008. The Quakers got off to a slow start to the season but have come alive as of late, winning back-to-back matches over Akron and Rutgers by identical 6-1 margins. Penn’s top performer over the course of its recent winning streak may have been junior Sol Eskenazi. Playing at No. 1 singles, Eskenazi easily won both of her last two matches in straight

sets. A repeat performance would have the Red and Blue in good position to pick up another weekend sweep. The always pesky doubles point may also ultimately prove critical to the result of this weekend’s matches. Eskenazi has played a key role in Penn’s doubles point wins over the previous weekend, teaming up with freshman Kana Daniel to win both of their matches. There could be some rust on the road for Penn, which hasn’t played outside of Philadelphia since Oct. 22. But if the Quakers manage to shake it off quickly, another sweep could be on its way.

Haven. And after facing Yale, there is still another full-length faceoff with Brown. Sure, Penn has six straight wins against the Bears and has won the last five matchups in Providence. But we already saw what happens when a shorthanded squad comes into the second half of an Ivy weekend when Columbia lost to Penn without sophomore point guard Grant Mullins. And that wasn’t pretty. When you look at the combo of Jackson-Cartwright, NelsonHenry, Dougherty and Hicks, you know that the Quakers have the star power to excel in Ivy play. But without a bench to support them, stars mean nothing.

Yale So. F Justin Sears At 6-foot-8, 205 pounds, Sears may be a bit on the light side for a big man, but he has stuffed the stat sheet all year. He leads the team in scoring at 15.2 points per game, and has also chipped in 7.0 rebounds

Brown Sr. G Sean McGonagill He is far and away his team’s main scoring threat. Not only is McGonagill the team’s leading scorer at 18.1 points per game, he has taken almost twice as many shots as anyone else on the team.

Penn Sr. F Fran Dougherty Coming off of a monster 23 point, 12 rebound performance in Penn’s win over Columbia, Doc will need to provide the size and strength to counter the scoring ability of Yale’s star forward, Sears.

Sears will pose matchup issue for frontcourt M. HOOPS from page 20 swept both of its Ivy weekends this season, the latter of which included a road victory over Harvard. “It really doesn’t matter to

After taking on the Bulldogs, Penn will do battle with Brown (12-8, 4-2) on Saturday night. The Quakers will not only be forced to deal with Bears senior guard Sean McGonagill, the leading scorer in the Ivy League, but also junior center Rafael Maia, whose 8.5 boards per game are tied for tops in the conference through six games.

team is hoping that its mental toughness and veteran leadership will help the Quakers sustain the momentum they picked up with their two wins a week ago. “I guess it’s that time of the season where guys are getting injuries, either minor or major, but we should be used to that,� Dougherty said. “Guys are just going to have to step up this weekend and be ready to get in on the action to help us win.�

Penn So. G Tony Hicks Penn’s leading scorer has been on fire, scoring 20 points per game over the past two games. More importantly, he has increased his efficiency dramatically since the beginning of the year.

DOJ proposes solution to ongoing lawsuit Solution would require Wharton alum’s company to sell assets BY COSETTE GASTELU Staff Writer

For Bazaarvoice, Inc. — a software company founded by 1999 Wharton MBA graduate Brett Hurt — the fallout from a federal antitrust lawsuit continues. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice filed a proposal for final judgment in its lawsuit against Bazaarvoice, which, pending court approval, will require the company to sell all assets gained from its 2012 acquisition of PowerReviews, Inc. Bazaarvoice and PowerReviews are businesses that provide internet retailers with ratings and reviews platforms — software systems that allow users to offer feedback about the products available online. The DOJ’s proposal is a follow-up action to the ruling that Judge William Orrick of the U.S. District Court of Northern California handed down in the lawsuit last month. In the decision, Orrick declared that since PowerReviews was Bazaarvoice’s “closest and only serious competitor,” Bazaarvoice’s acquisition of the San Francisco-based company violated a federal antitrust law. The specific law at issue, Section 7 of the Clayton Act, prohibits business transactions that create monopolies or significantly reduce competition within a particular industry. “Bazaarvoice’s unlawful acquisition of PowerReviews

has deprived customers of the benefits of competition for 20 months,” Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer, who leads the DOJ’s antitrust division, said in a press release. With its proposed remedy, the DOJ aims to “restore the competitive landscape” that would have currently existed in the ratings and reviews industry had PowerReviews “not been illegally acquired by Bazaarvoice,” Baer added. The DOJ has also made certain provisions for the potential asset sale process. Among the stipulations is a plan for the possibility that PowerReviews’ value could have diminished “so significantly that the asset sale would not transfer a large number of customers to the divestiture buyer.” The DOJ also seeks that the court “appoint a special master to oversee the divestiture process and monitor Bazaarvoice’s compliance with its other obligations.” Though the DOJ filed a motion for final judgment along with the remedy proposal, it is unlikely that the lawsuit will end this month, given the timeline of Bazaarvoice’s next steps. Matt Krebsbach, a spokesperson for Bazaarvoice, said in a statement that the company “will respond to the DOJ’s position in [its] own brief, which will be filed with the Court by March 5.” He added that Bazaarvoice continues to “provide the Court and DOJ with other materials and information” that it “believe[s] [are] relevant to the determination of an appropriate remedy that achieves the best possible outcome for [its] clients and shareholders.”

Putting on PennApps: 2 days and $200,000 BY YUEQI YANG Staff Writer Forty-eight straight hours of hacking starts Friday evening. This weekend, the engineering quad will welcome over a thousand hackers for the eighth PennApps, a collaborative computer programming event that first took place on campus in fall 2009. Top teams will take home prizes totaling $30,000 in value. Out of the 2,500 students who applied for the competition this year, 1,300 were accepted. The committee that organized PennApps expects a total turnout of 1,200 students. The committee has 10 executive board members and about 50 members in Logistics, Sponsors, Outreach and Marketing. “Our event is unique because we issue reimbursement of transportation to everyone who comes, so we cannot take everyone who wants to come,” said Engineering junior Brynn Claypoole, director of the event. The

selection process was based on each applicant’s GitHub profile, LinkedIn profile, intended project description and hackathon experience. Penn students will take onefourth of the seats — a decrease from the last event, which saw 550 Penn students. “We took a lot of outside people this time. We changed the marketing for the event,” Claypoole said. “Last time we marketed towards everyone,” she said. “This time we are marketing more towards people who know how to program.” The organizers hope that even experienced student programmers learn more about making apps at this year’s PennApps. “This event is for the best of the best coming from all over the country,” Claypoole added. She hopes that another event, targeted at beginners, will happen later this semester. “I am actually trying to plan a separate event that will be about

teaching you how to code over a weekend, ” Claypoole said. Who are the hackers? Hackers will travel to Penn from Singapore, England, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Croatia, Mexico and Portugal. There will also be “a full bus of people” from Toronto and Waterloo. Girls will constitute approximately 10 percent of the attendees. There will also be around 40 high schoolers, a big increase from previous events. Approximately 15 percent of attendees will be masters or Ph.D. students. Financing PennApps PennApps has 38 sponsors this year, including Venmo, Dropbox, Facebook, Google and Goldman Sachs. “We cold-emailed hundreds of companies this time. Usually we email recruiters or University relations specialists for companies that are related to tech,” Claypoole said. “After the event, we will see what the actual cost is, especially the transportation.

Some of their work on “Frozen” involved automating large crowds of people, so that the artists didn’t have to work on every single character.

The indispensible character in every Disney movie, Mickey, also enters the scene surreptitiously between the shelves in Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna and in the grass when Olaf sings “In Summer.” “The culture in Disney is very light and just put [these characters in] for fun,” said Chai, who received a masters degree in Computer Graphics and Game

Technology from Penn in 2009. “The artists and directors also like it.” Both Sinno and Chai picked the “Let It Go” scene as one of the most impressive scenes from the movie. “It’s the scene that goes through a huge character transformation,” Chai said. He added that it was a technically challenging scene as well, which

budget is for transportation,” she said. She estimated that the whole event will cost $200,000. Although Penn does not fund the hackathon, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences provides resources and access to administrators to ensure a successful event. The school also provides furniture, including 300 to 400 tables. Shelter and sustenance Hackers will be able to take rests in basement hallways, using the 80 air mattresses bought by the organizing committee. Caters include Desi Chaat House, Au Bon Pain, Boston Market and Insomnia Cookies. “It’s my strong belief that we want to give people a variety [of food] to keep them happy,” Claypoole said. This year, PennHacks, a hardware hackathon, will take place at the same time as the PennApps competition. PennHacks will occur in two labs in the Engineering quad where the necessary equipment is available.

took several months to finish. Sinno, who received a master’sdegree in Computer Graphics and Game Technology from Penn in 2010, mentioned two additional memorable scenes. The final blizzard scene in the movie was the most challenging for him, even more so than “Let It Go,” because there were “so many layers of dust, debris, particles and snow pieces,” he said. Another part that spoke to him emotionally was “Do You Want to Build a Snowman.” “It has an emotional content that can strike in many different levels,” Sinno said, referring to the sisterly love between Anna and Elsa. In fact, they both said this sisterly love is what makes “Frozen” so popular. It focuses more on love between the siblings than on falling in love with a guy the main character just met. “It’s a very simple message to get, and it’s something a lot of people can relate to,” Sinno said.

All 4,203 square feet of the Hall of Flags were reserved for this event, the perfect — and only — opportunity for students to participate in a dialogue with committee members about the direction of Penn Athletics and the qualities they’d like to see the next athletic director possess.

and myself, one student showed up. One. You’d think this would be an event of interest to at least a few members of the Penn student community. Athletes and Red and Blue Crew members obviously should have a vested interest in this search process, but so should anyone who takes advantage of recreational spaces such as Penn Park and Pottruck Fitness Center. If you partake in any recreation on this campus, you should care who the next athletic director is, because that person will be in charge of overseeing every recreational facility, membership service and wellness program at this university. That’s a big deal without even taking into account the intercollegiate varsity athletics that you spectate, participate in and read about every day.

Just two more obstacles for the Red and Blue to overcome

STEVEN TYDINGS

F

or Penn basketball, it seems that for every step forward, there is a subsequent step back. And after beating Cornell and Columbia last weekend to stay in the Ivy chase, Penn’s new step backward came in the form of yet another injury. Freshman guard Matt Howard , who broke out with 15 points combined versus the Big Red and Light Blue, broke his foot at practice on Tuesday and is now out for the season. But Howard’s is just one in a series of injuries that has limited coach Jerome Allen’s bench this year. Junior guards Patrick Lucas-Perry and Camryn Crocker are both out for the year with leg injuries while freshman guard Preston Troutt is also done for the season. That doesn’t factor in the ongoing injuries that have plagued sophomore guard Julian Harrell and junior forward Greg Louis, both of whom missed Penn’s games last weekend. So where does this leave the Red and Blue? Hobbled to say the least. It’s not like any of these five were expected to carry the Quakers this season. Crocker came into the year as one of many backup point guards. Lucas-Perry was a three-point specialist last year while Harrell and Louis each showed promise in 2013-14, but ultimately were inconsistent. But all of that adds up to a lot of missing pieces and minutes that Penn could recieve from its bench. So when Penn takes the court in New Haven on Friday to face Yale, the starting lineup will likely not be any different from this past weekend. But when the Elis go to the bench and give a breather to their top starters, the Quakers will not be afforded the same luxury. That means another weekend of 35-plus minutes from Fran Dougherty at forward. And another 70 combined minutes from Miles Jackson-Cartwright and Tony Hicks in the backcourt. It also means pushing Darien Nelson-Henry and Steve Rennard to their

After being limited against Cornell and Columbia due to foul trouble last weekend, Penn sophomore center Darien Nelson-Henry will need to have a bigger impact this weekend in road matchups against both Yale and Brown. Nelson-Henry, who scored 10 points in Penn’s last game against Yale, likely will be tasked with stopping Yale’s two-time defending Ivy Player of the Week Justin Sears.

M. HOOPS | In midst of Ivy season, Penn looks to get past elements, injuries in matchups with Yale, Brown BY RILEY STEELE Sports Editor A new string of injuries. An extra night in Connecticut. Practicing in an opponent’s gym. Throughout this season of inconsistency, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary for the Red and Blue. Coming off its first sweep of an Ivy weekend doubleheader in nearly two years, Penn men’s basketball hits the road to take on Yale and Brown this weekend, two of the three squads currently ahead of the Quakers in the Ivy League stand-

Haven, Conn., on Wednesday night, a day earlier than normal. Penn was also forced to practice in Yale’s gym on Thursday. Freshman Matt Howard suffered a broken foot earlier in the week and is out for the remainder of the season. The rookie was coming off his two best performances in a Penn uniform last weekend when he went down in practice. Practicing away from home and Howard’s injury are just two more obstacles for the Quakers to overcome. “Injuries are part of the game, and unfortunately that’s something we cannot control,” coach Jerome Allen said. “Matt got hurt on a simple play, but this just shows that all guys need to be ready to play at all times. “We’ve got 10 or 11 bodies now,

and that’s enough to get it done, but everybody is one play away from being closer to helping us win.” Although leaving a day early for Yale disrupted Penn’s normal routine, the Quakers (6-13, 3-2 Ivy) seem to be embracing yet another challenge in this tumultuous season. “I don’t want to say it’s awkward, but it’s definitely different and it will be a good test for all of us,” sophomore center Darien Nelson-Henry said. Against the Elis (11-9, 5-1), the Red and Blue will be facing a team that has beaten them three times over the past two seasons.

SARA, STRUGGLING | Today, I’m acting as my own Valentine — and loving it

I

love Valentine’s Day. T h i s m ay sou nd strange, especially if any of you know me. Looking back, I’ve only celebrated one Valentine’s Day with a partner. In fact, I’ve been single for about 97 percent of my life. Aplus in being unattached. I qualify for “ The Bachelor” more than many of the contestants. Gold star. So as this February 14th rolls around, my holiday preparations aren’t quite Hallmarkworthy. For those not keeping score, it’s time to pop the champagne and celebrate my 20th Valentine’s Day single. I’ll be accepting gifts of china and any tasteful platinum jewelry. After all, who says I need a boyfriend to enjoy this holiday? Let’s break it down: Valen-

tine’s Day means cheesy pickup lines, chocolate and sappy declarations of love. I can easily celebrate in style by stopping at CVS for some Crunch hearts and popping in a Garry Marshall movie. In fact, I’m stoked. This is going to be a great February 14th. After all, why would I need a boyfriend to enjoy a heartshaped donut? There’s so much pressure put on having a significant other. It’s not just about whether you have a special someone — it’s about a Facebook relationship status, someone you can introduce as “my boyfriend.” Date parties ask me to bring a date, and then I spend the rest of my semester tearing my hair out, trying to manufacture my own personal Prince Charming out of thin air. Relatives start conversations

by asking, “So, have a boyfriend yet?” I’ve said no so many times that they brought me a list of top cat breeds at the annual barbecue. In fact, our culture is so obsessed with who’s dating whom that people on the internet have been arguing about whether fictional characters are attached. It was front-page news when J. K. Rowling announced she had changed her mind and that Hermione Granger should not have ended up with Ron Weasley. As she dropped that bomb, she said she could “hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans.” Apparently, I’m the only one whose world has not shattered over the idea that two fictional characters are no longer fictionally married. JKR, knowingly “breaking people’s hearts” right before

Valentine’s Day! Is love dead? The outrage this caused fans is understandable, but also a bit degrading if you think about it. Hermione Granger is an excellent role model and the brightest witch of her age, whether or not she ended up marrying Ron Weasley.

‘‘

I can enjoy a fancy dinner without a Boyfriend with a capital ‘B.’”

Don’t get me wrong — I loved having a boyfriend. It was great. I had an excuse to bake an extra batch of chocolate-chip muffins, and I had someone who didn’t mind sitting through yet another episode of BBC’s “Sherlock.”

But just because some guy isn’t telling me I’m pretty or buying me dinner doesn’t mean I’m not worth it. I can enjoy a fancy dinner without a Boy- SARA SCHONFELD friend with a capital “B.” I can go and buy myself a each other: That’s nice. Good pasta dinner — and I get to eat for you. But me, I’m going to dress all the rolls in the breadbasket on my own. I can compliment up in my skinny jeans, slap on myself with a cheesy pick-up some red lipstick and look hot line and a wink in the mirror enough to be my own Valenand feel pretty when I want to. tine while I stuff my face with Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be chocolate and gush over Ryan about validation. As nice as it Reynolds. If my Mr. Right wants to inwas to have a guy confirming that my butt is not strangely terrupt my party for one, he’s misshapen, whether or not welcome to join.

The little pink pill

THE SCREWTINIZER | Sexual desire can’t be reduced to the stuff in female Viagra

I

t’s Valentine’s Day. The candles are lit, the lingerie falls to the floor, the condom is on and then … nothing. She’s just not that into it. Allegedly, this type of disinterest in sex affects one-third of women, according to one study. So, just in time for Valentine’s Day, one company found a solution: female Viagra. The drug just went to market in the United Kingdom in the form of a little pink pill called Lady Prelox. In a weird way, it’s a sort of accomplishment for women, since it’s the first alternative to male Viagra —

which has been on the market since 1998 — made specifically for women. But Lady Prelox is not quite a feminist advancement. Sure, it’s nice to bring women into the conversation about sexual advancements, but unpacking the meaning of “arousal” and “desire” is not as simple as a pharmaceutical aphrodisiac. The way that Lady Prelox works is a lot like Viagra — essentially, it increases circulation. The manufacturer claims that it “boosts libido and increases arousal in women” by promoting blood flow to sexual organs and the brain.

It’s fair to say that increasing blood flow would lead to “arousal”: the quickening of the heartbeat, shortening of breath and natural lubrication. And for many women, that might be just the trick: getting the engine started. But without already feeling mental desire — that rasping, raw sense of wanting to get it on — the physical arousal can only go so far. Often when we say that we aren’t aroused, what we mean is that we don’t feel that desire to have sex. That might come from a lack of erotic stimulation, from feeling distracted or tense or simply from a low

libido. The first two stem from a sense of feeling reluctance, or even shame, about claiming time to be sexual. Women, more than men, are inclined to feel ashamed of erotic fantasies, of watching pornography or reading erotic literature or taking time to indulge in erotic desires. But some women simply have lower libidos, and that’s completely normal. The growing interest in forms of “female Viagra” like Lady Prelox can make it seem like not feeling readily available for sex is an abnormality.

To be fair, some women do have physiological problems w ith vasocongestion (the physiological signs of arousal). Drugs like Lady Prelox might help to resolve those issues. There have also been clinical trials for a drug called flibanserin — but the FDA rejected its application for approval in December (just this week, flibanserin’s makers reported that they would continue clinical trials). So yes, there is definitely a component of arousal that has to do with the chemistry of brain and body. But desire is much more slippery — and has

Giving fraternity recruitment another go Frats reach out to more students during secondround recruitment

FRATERNITY RECRUITMENT STATISTICS

BY MELISSA LAWFORD Staff Writer Just because formal recruitment is over, that doesn’t mean you can’t get into a fraternity anymore. Several fraternities are currently participating in secondround recruitment, reaching out to the 157 students who participated in formal fraternity recruitment but did not receive bids. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life passed on the contact information of these students to six fraternities that wanted to increase the size of their new member classes. College junior and Interfraternity Council president Jimmy Germi said that roughly 25 bids were issued to students as a result of second round recruitment last year. He expects the numbers to be comparable this semester. Second-round recruitment is not regulated like formal recruitment, Germi explained. There is no set bid deadline, and the approach “varies a little bit from chapter to chapter,” he said. Alpha Sigma Phi, one of Penn’s newest fraternities, which went through formal recruitment for the first time this January, is now participating in second-round recruitment. The fraternity issued seven bids after formal recruitment, five of which were accepted. The fraternity is now hoping to expand the size of their new member class, president and Wharton senior Elias Bernstein said. Alpha Sigma Phi’s approach to second-round recruitment is to hold one-on-one meetings with interested students, and last Friday, prospective new members had dinner with all of the fraternity brothers. “I’m surprised more fraternities don’t take advantage of the opportunities,” Bernstein said. “We’re really happy with how it’s going.” Wharton freshman Brendan Stone joined Phi Sigma Kappa through their second round of recruitment this semester. Although he received a bid from a different fraternity during formal recruitment, Stone explained how the first round does not always allow students to find a place that really suits them due to the “problems of trying to split your time [among the fraternities].”

Germi also said that having three nights of open-round recruitment is not always enough for some students to find a fit with a fraternity. Second-round recruitment can play “an essential role” because sometimes students may be ill or focused on only one house the first time through, he said. Now the recruitment chair in Phi Sigma Kappa, Stone outlined how the fraternity is reaching out more “by word of mouth,” contacting students who they think might be interested in joining. They have so far recruited roughly 12 brothers through second-round recruitment, he said. College junior Matthew Hanessian, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, one of Penn’s largest fraternities, described secondround recruitment as a “great opportunity” for students who “maybe didn’t find the right fit the first time.” SAE issued a total of 25 bids this January, 18 of which were accepted, giving the fraternity a significantly larger pledge class than the average of 14.5 new members. The fraternity is not participating in second-round recruitment because of this, Hanessian said. He explained that because students can be offered multiple bids but will ultimately accept only one, new member classes can be smaller than expected. This can be a strong incentive for fraternities to participate in second-round recruitment, he said. Hanessian added that second-round recruitment is a good example of Penn’s generally inclusive culture when it comes to encouraging participation in student organizations. “Penn does a really good job of finding places for people to feel welcome,” he said.

Houses host events for stress reduction HOUSES from page 1 she has been spending more time in her office with the door open for the past two weekends. “This gives me the opportunity to provide them with the list of resources offered on campus, or, to actually walk them over to CAPS if necessary,” she said. RAs and GAs have been doing the same. Like in Riepe, one of the ma i n i n it iat ives i n Wa re recently has been to make sure that RAs and GAs are available to students, leaving their doors open and encouraging students to spend time in communal areas like floor lounges. C ol le ge f r e s h m a n a nd Ware resident Olivia Graham said her GA has approached her personally to encourage her to refer any friends who might be str uggling w ith mental health. On the wester n side of campus, open doors seem to be less common. Harrison College House Dean Frank Pellicone said that unlike the Quad, his residents are not allowed to keep their doors open for fire safety issues, but he would be happy for that to occur if it were possible. College sophomore and

Du Bois resident Brianna Sainte said her RA has not reached out to her. She suggested that if RAs or other staff reached out to residents about mental wellness on a personal level, that might be “a little bit more helpful.” A ll college houses also have a CAPS liaison, Smith said. Some college houses use these liaisons as advisor s or t o br i ng ment a l health professionals directly to residents. Pellicone said that Harrison has a number of upcoming events focused on mental wellness, including a dinner with CAPS in the coming weeks. Other events include a workshop led by a resident who is a member of Active Minds and time management workshops led by the Weingarten Learning Resources Center. Diggs-Thompson said that in her ex per ience, CA P S events “are not ver y well attended as students seem to prefer quite often to connect and to comfor t each other.” She is still interested in scheduling an event with CA PS either within Riepe

or collectively with the other Quad houses. Gregror y College House has hosted office hours with CA P S a nd has been d istributing information about other resources available on campus, but House Dean Christopher Donovan said, “beyond that, we haven’t really done anything specific.” Du Bois House Dean Trish Williams said in an email that her house’s CAPS liaison adv ises and supports house staff. “Out of concern for staff who themselves may be feeli ng over whel med du r i ng these challenging times, our CAPS liaison has been invited to a staff meeting to talk to staff, not only about their assisting our undergraduate residents, but on how to take care of themselves, as well,” she said. Ware, Dubois, Harrison, Gregory have also dissemin at e d i n for m at ion ab out ment a l he a lt h r esou rces on campus. They send out emails to residents, post information in public hall bathrooms or make CA PS pamphlets available.

Riepe and several other college houses have planned events aimed at stress reduction. Riepe is known for its comfort food events and has been placing more emphasis on those events recently. “In my opinion, in addition to offering official CAPS and campus resources, it is important that our residents come together for various event s t o con nect , ch at , commiserate and to socialize with each other,” DiggsThompson said. “So even t houg h c om i ng t oget her over comfort food events may sound trivial, I feel that these events can be important.” R iepe R A and W har ton junior James Fangmeyer is also setting up a meditation corner. Pellicone worried that adding additional house events, beyond those focusing on mental health, would place

add it ion a l st r ess on t he house staff. “We’ve emphasized more that these events are great stress reducers,” he said. He added the house has anticipated higher attendance at recent events, so they’ve made sure they have more food. Donovan said that Gregory’s RAs and GAs have been working to make sure that residents know about initiatives elsewhere on campus, but they’re mainly focusing on “doing small, intimate, low-key events over the past few weeks.” “What’s clear is we need to make sure that people feel comfortable coming to the staff members if they have issues or know people who do,” Pellicone said, and he has definitely noticed such an increase. College junior and Ware Senior House Ma nager Marc-Anthony Serrano said

that students have been reacting positively to the increased awareness of mental health support within the house, and he has noticed that students have been coming to talk to him or reaching out over Facebook much more frequently. While Serrano definitely supports all the steps that Ware has been tak ing recently, “I don’t know that it is enough,” he said. “It’s kind of sad that it’s taken this tragedy to spur this increase.” Donovan has not seen such an increase in Gregory. “Obviously there are some students who are either feeling stressed or are responding to recent events on campus, but we haven’t seen a large number of students talk to us yet,” he said. “We’re keeping our eyes open and responding to what the students tell us,” he added.

Big-time CEO Ross still helps Penn students ROSS from page 1

It’s not just Wharton graduates taking the lead in business. When Rich Ross left Penn in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and International Relations, few would have expected him to become the CEO of a major entertainment company. Ross himself, whose compa ny Shi ne A mer ica has produced both scripted and reality shows like “The Biggest Loser,” “The Bridge,” and “Master Chef,” was less surprised. “I knew what I wanted to do when I was 12,” Ross said. “I knew I wanted to be part of that world.” Prior to his time at Shine America, Ross was the chairman at Walt Disney Studios and worked at Nickelodeon, where he was executive producer of the “K ids Choice Awards,” among other shows. Ross chose to attend Penn to stay grounded. He wanted to “leave college and be able to succeed” and thought he received a “great education surrounded by very pragmatic people.” “Entertainment [is about] telling great stories,” Ross said. He noted that his English degree “fostered an ap-

preciation for literature,” while his studies in IR “gave [ him] a well-rounded ap proach.” Co-director of the International Relations Program Frank Plantan Jr. said that College students like Ross stand a good chance of being successful in business. “Business today is looking for people who can do research, who can write well … and who have strong analytical skills,” he said. “We find those students are in high demand.” This Tuesday, Ross came to campus for a mentoring meal and larger talk hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences, as he has for more than 25 years. Ross shares his email address with the students every year. “The degree to which he has com m itted t i me a nd energy to Penn students is astounding,” former Senior Associate Director of Career Ser vices Pegg y Curchack said. Claire K lieger, who currently holds Curchack’s position added, “He is a real champion of Penn.” Ross has also mentored several Penn students over the years, including Bing Chen, a 2009 College graduate and cur rent YouTube Globa l Cr e at or Develop ment and Management lead at Google. Ross encouraged Chen to pursue a degree in English and take a minor in Wharton rather than getting a second degree like he had planned. Upon graduation, Chen became the only Penn student to join Google’s executive financing program, beating

out applicants from Wharton. “[ The study of English] broadens your mind and gives you a way to operationalize abstractions,” Chen said. After Chen met Ross for the f irst time dur ing his sophomore year, he carefully crafted an email. Three weeks after the talk, Chen finally sent the email, and he quickly received a response. Ross said Chen was one of only four students to email him that year, and Chen was shocked almost 200 other students who attended the event missed this opportunity. This led to a seven-year mentorship. Chen r ememb er e d t he most valuable piece of advice Ross has given him. “Being well-liked is more impressive than being a walking resume … especially in entertainment,” Chen said. As a charismatic Penn student at the time, Chen had considered himself to be fairly likable and was surprised by this statement. Ross clarified that when he asked how Chen was, Chen had instead listed his activities. Ross’ ability to pick up on people’s traits, as he did with Chen, comes from his belief in the strength of listening. “The most powerful superhero tool you can have is listening,” Ross said. “Decisiveness is vital, but it all starts with actually listening.” “There are two types of listeners: one type who listens and hears you [and the other type] who listens, hears and understands everything you say,” Chen said. “Rich is the latter.”
