THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

<FEMME Degree or not, Trump supporters don’t care NEWS ANALYSIS | Voters ambivalent or ignorant of his business degree ELLIE SCHROEDER Assignments Editor

CHARLESTON, S.C. — As a presidential candidate with no political experience, Donald Trump often cites his degree from the “Wharton School of Finance” as evidence that he is capable of running the country and making America great again.

His supporters, however, remain largely unfamiliar with and uninterested in his business school background.

Unawareness about Wharton and the University of Pennsylvania revealed a refreshing, if not grounding truth: that Ivy League degrees, which Penn students view as tickets to success in metropolitan areas like New York, Philadelphia and Boston, do not carry the same value with Americans across the country where signs of privilege can alienate rather than attract voters.

All-woman hackathon works against “brogrammer” stigma JINAH KIM Staff Reporter

At a TechCrunch hackathon in 2013, two Australian programmers debuted their new mobile app: Titstare, an app for men to take pictures

of themselves staring at women’s breasts.

While the app was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, it was also what The New Yorker called “the unfunniest joke in technology,” emphasizing the male-dominated, “brogrammer” culture of the tech industry.

In response to the hostility towards females in the industry,

Penn profs call for end of using race in genetic research

FemmeHacks, an all-women hackathon, was started at Drexel University by Engineering sophomore Andrea Baric, who transferred to Penn from Drexel last fall. The second FemmeHacks was held this past weekend at Huntsman Hall.

Penn Integrates Knowledge professors Dorothy Roberts and Sarah Tishkoff argue in their new paper that scientific research uses an antiquated view of race as a genetically homogenous category.

Does your race determine your genes? Two Penn professors don’t think so.

Penn Integrates Knowledge professors Dorothy Roberts and Sarah Tishkoff have recently published a paper in the journal Science calling

for the end of using race as a biological category in genetic research.

Roberts and Tishkoff emphasized that racial categories in genetic research have long been a nebulous and problematic concept. They explained that since the advancement of human genomic sequencing in the early 2000s, researchers and scientists have called for an end to the use of race as a genetic variable in research.

Debunking the sorority ‘brothel law’ myth Sororities need opportunity for housing to colonize LILY ZANDI Staff Reporter

Contrary to the rumor that has circulated around college campuses for decades, the “brothel law” — a supposed restriction on how many

FOLLOW US @DAILYPENN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES

women are allowed to live in a house together — is not the reason why sororities at other universities are forbidden from providing housing for their members.

Unlike the Interfraternity Council or the Multicultural Greek Council, the National Panhellenic Conference mandates that no sororities can have a

house unless every single chapter has an equal opportunity to have its own.

For this reason, every sorority has a house at Penn. An incoming sorority would not be allowed to colonize at Penn unless there were housing options available to it.

“I think the understanding from NPC is that a new group will not

come to campus if they’re placed at a competitive disadvantage,” Eddie Banks-Crosson, the director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, said.

The rule only applies to sororities that are looking to form a new chapter SEE SORORITY PAGE 6

GSE receives grant to increase Latino professorship $5.1 million will aid Pathways to the Professoriate CHARLOTTE LARACY Staff Reporter

Latinos make up 20 percent of the population aged 18-44 but constitute only 4.1 percent of university professors nationwide.

According to Penn’s Graduate School of Education, 3.5 percent of Penn’s faculty is Latino, compared to 9.48 percent of the student population.

With a new $5.1 million grant, GSE is working to change those numbers.

The school’s Center for Minority Serving Institutions received a $5.1 million grant to support Pathways to the Professoriate, a program supported by the Andrew

W. Mellon Foundation, to increase the number of Latino professors working in the humanities in colleges and universities in the United States.

Participating schools are referred to as “Hispanic-serving institutions” by federal law, or HSIs. Undergraduate students at these schools participate in intensive summer research programs and cross-institutional conferences. Each student will be assigned a mentor at their HSI as well as the student’s graduate school. The goal for the grant is to lessen the challenges of completing a Ph.D. program.

Over a five-year period, the grant will be used to prepare 90 students for Ph.D. programs.

The Center for MSIs is partnering with three HSIs — Florida

The Center for Minority Serving Institutions received a grant to support a program to increase Latino professors in the humanities.

International University; the University of Texas at El Paso and California State University,

Northridge — along with five majority research institutions — Penn; New York University;

University of California, Berkeley; Northwestern University and University of California, Davis.

In the United States, 270 HSIs enroll 20 percent of all students and 58.9 percent of all Latino students. Founder and Director of Minority Serving Institutions Mary Gasman said the importance of HSIs has often been overlooked.

“People look to the Ivy Leagues or very elite institutions as the leaders and then they often try to follow them,” she said. “I think Penn does a lot of great things but I think a lot of other institutions do great things as well such as working with students of color. There is so much we can learn overall in higher education from minority serving institutions.”

Some of the other programs at Penn’s Center for MSIs includes

promoting diversity in biomedical research, though this grant is to specifically assist students who are obtaining a Ph.D. in the humanities.

“The humanities create more deep intellectual thinkers and this is important to advancing justice in communities of color,” Gasman said.

Depending on the success of the program, Gasman wants to be able to renew funding after the five years. She also hopes this program can be an inspiration for the University to further diversify its professoriate.

“If you really want faculty diversity, you can find it,” Gasman said. “There are lots of people out there but you have to want to do it.

For me, the status quo is not okay because it is not fair.”

Students have mixed reactions to Caitlyn Jenner LGBTQ community takes issue with Jenner claims

Wharton freshman Melissa Matalon thought the event was an interesting opportunity to see a prominent figure speak and believes that people are over-analyzing Jenner’s words.

“I think a lot of people pick apart what she had to say, and I obviously agree that she could word things a little better, but overall, it’s very clear that she has good intentions. She’s still trying to understand it all herself,” Matalon said.

Many controversial points were brought up throughout the night, including the question of why Jenner isn’t an “ardent Democrat,” to which Jenner responded, “I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans.”

Dear Penn Freshmen website breaks stigmas Site allows upperclassmen to write to freshman selves JACQUELINE UY Contributing Reporter

You may persistently ask yourself if you’ve found the “right” people, if Penn is the place for you or if you’re the only one on this entire campus who feels isolated, alone and afraid. Well, you aren’t.

“Dear Penn Freshmen” is a project created by Wharton senior Lauren McCann, inspired by Penn professor Adam Grant’s organizational behavior class. The website holds a collection of letters written by Penn upperclassmen to their freshmen-selves. One of its main goals is to break the known stigma of “Penn Face,” the tendency of Penn students to build up their lives to seem perfect when in reality, they aren’t.

“Everyone tries to make it seem

TRUMP

>> PAGE 1

around a Charleston Trump rally on Friday revealed that only one of the people interviewed, a Philadelphia native, knew where Trump had attended college. The other ten had no idea about his educational background at all, or only knew that he had gone to business school.

What’s more: when told that Trump attended one of the top business schools in the country, all eleven of the voters said it did not affect their perception of him as a candidate.

The presidential candidate graduated from Wharton as an undergraduate in 1968 after he transferred from Fordham University in New York. Though he is one of the most high-profile graduates to come out of Penn, his supporters aren’t generally aware of his prestigious educational background and instead view his wealth and business success as markers that he can improve the country’s economy.

When asked if her perception of Trump was different once she knew that he had graduated from a top business school, one 50-year-old Trump supporter — donning several “Make America Great Again” buttons on a jacket — said his record in business, not his degree, showed his leadership ability.

“He’s already proven,” she said, simply. “He’s a very smart man. He wouldn’t be where he is today if he

like they’re having the time of their lives, and some people are, but most people are sad all the time, lonely all the time and desperately trying to find the right people,” McCann said.

The letters are written by a diverse group of upperclassmen, encompassing all corners of Penn’s intricate campus. The letters reveal the vulnerability that many felt during their first year at Penn. There are stories of students who considered transferring, who battled anxiety and who stated that they constantly felt loss and were unsure of what they were doing.

“Because we’re always analyzing different cultures, there’s obviously a lot of talking about problems we had with Penn culture or Wharton culture, because it’s so cut throat or very linear looking,” McCann said.

“All of us had gained this wisdom over the years of what we had done and wish we hadn’t done, and yet we were all going to graduate and

wasn’t smart and in business.”

All of the other people interviewed seemed to agree that his Wharton degree alone was insignificant in gaining their support.

Franklin White, a 19-year-old Guatemalan immigrant and freshman at the College of Charleston, attended the Trump rally donning a “Trump 2016” hat and a T-shirt emblazoned with the hand-written words “Build the Wall.” He already knew Trump was a smart man based on the promises he has made, and learning that Trump had attended a top business school did not add or detract from his perception of the businessman and politician, he said.

Trump’s Wharton credentials did not play a role in his support from voters such as 19-year-old Franklin White.

“He’s actually wanting to enforce the laws that we have in place for immigration — I don’t even think it’s immigration because they’re coming here illegally, they’re breaking the law,” he said.

Such insights into the psyches of Trump supporters seemed to ring true for other voters I spoke with: they were impressed by tangible, proven success in the business world rather than more typical signs of presidential preparedness like academic credentials and political experience.

Debbie, a 40-year-old woman from Summerville, South Carolina, said she would vote for Trump, but

all that information was going to graduate with us.”

The project has grown greatly, with more than 10,000 unique visitors within the first 24 hours of the site’s release, which is more than the total undergraduate population.

People from other schools such as Columbia, Georgetown and Duke have reached out to McCann in the hopes of establishing their own versions of Dear Penn Freshmen, she said.

As a way to build marketing for the project, McCann has created a viral video that compiled together short snippets of people reading one line from their letter.

“It organically transformed itself.

I’m the only one logistically putting everything out, but so many people were helpful in sharing it, so it really has been a group effort,” McCann said.

The response has been positive, with many students finding that

they can relate to the students who have written the letters.

“Dear Penn Freshmen offers new students reassurance, guidance, and even hope,” College freshman Mena Shanab said. “I think in an atmosphere that can become extremely toxic at times, these letters can help make things easier.”

“Freshman year can be a very challenging and confusing period for many at Penn, so reading upperclassmen accounts on their experiences is incredibly valuable and reassuring,” College sophomore Lisa Shmulyan said. “Also, I think that Lauren does a really great job of including a large diversity of people in the project, highlighting that there are many different but equally fulfilling Penn experiences.”

Dear Penn Freshmen brings together students from all years to identify the difficulties that many students face in a prestigious,

learning that he went to Wharton did not make her more inclined to support Trump than she already was.

Explaining her stance, she said, “Because he’s obviously a do-er, he gets things done. He’s built an empire — he knows what he’s doing.”

The only person interviewed who knew that Trump went to Wharton, a Philadelphia native in his 60s who now lives in S.C., said his education wasn’t impressive, instead citing Trump’s status as a self-made entrepreneur as the reason he was qualified to lead the country.

“Don’t forget the story: his father

told him not to go to Manhattan and he did and he made it big,” he said, adding, “I like the fact that he doesn’t take any stuff from anyone.

“At this high pressure school, people are really stressed from

their work and competing with their classmates for the best grades and internships and this was a way for people to take their masks off.

By having the letters be a vehicle, people could really be honest with what they’re sharing in it,” McCann said.

Trump’s Wharton credentials did not appear to play a role in the support of voters such as Franklin White.

League business background shows that the prestigious Wharton degree — which non-Trump supporters, especially Penn students and graduates, might assume is central to his popularity — is largely irrelevant to his surge in support.

Such an attitude was never more evident than when Brett Osborne

— a 20-year-old Republican voter who was undecided between former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Trump — said that having a prestigious education is often a sign of wealth, not character or capability.

“If you have enough money you can get into the best business school,” he said.

OPINION Is driving for Uber a job?

Praxis | Finding new ways to offer labor protections in the freelance economy

CXXXII, NO. 20 132nd Year of Publication COLIN HENDERSON President LAUREN FEINER Editor-in-Chief ANDREW FISCHER Director of Online Projects BRIELLA MEGLIO Director of Internal Consulting ISABEL KIM Opinion Editor JESSICA MCDOWELL Enterprise Editor DAN SPINELLI City News Editor CAROLINE SIMON Campus News Editor ELLIE SCHROEDER Assignments Editor LUCIEN WANG Copy Editor SUNNY CHEN Copy Editor NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor LAINE HIGGINS Sports Editor TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor JOYCE VARMA Creative Director

On Feb. 11, taxi, limo and Uber Black drivers blocked traffic in Center City to protest UberX and Lyft — the cheaper of the ride-sharing services — claiming that unregulated drivers are undercutting other drivers. It seems that no one is winning in the gig economy.

As I encountered the protest, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

Workers should not be responsible for fixing the steep competition introduced with the onslaught of numerous ride-sharing options. Instead, the ride-sharing startups need to take responsibility for the entirely new categorization of labor they have created.

In December, Seattle City Council passed an ordinance that allows Uber drivers to unionize. The passage of this measure represents the first of its kind in any major United States city. Before Seattle City Council passed the measure, David Plouffe, the senior vice president of policy and strategy for Uber, visited Seattle to criticize the new law.

In an interview with The Seattle Times, Plouffe charac-

terized Uber as helping workers in an economy facing wage stagnation. Plouffe declared, “How people are using the Uber platform now is to augment existing income, to provide a bridge when they may lose their job or get their hours cut.” Uber’s employment practice is premised on the idea that the economy is crummy and that the company assists workers by providing the opportunity to earn some extra cash in the meantime. But in truth, a significant number of Uber drivers are not merely using the app as a convenient way to make a few extra bucks, but instead rely on it as their primary source of income.

Plouffe’s statement essentially excises Uber from its role as an employer. This becomes dangerous given the fact that a third of U.S. workers now identify as freelancers. After accounting for car and driving expenses, most Uber drivers make less than minimum wage in the cities they live in. It’s beginning to become clear that the treatment of Uber drivers as independent contractors is neither fair nor accurate.

However, the prospects of organizing Uber drivers along traditional trade union lines seem dismal. The success of union organizing often depends on the ability of workers to share a need to assert their rights collectively. Uber driv-

penses and providing benefits to all full-time drivers. A recent calculation determined that the treatment of Uber drivers as employees would cost the company $209 million in California alone.

Many policymakers, how-

Workers should not be responsible for fixing the steep competition introduced with the onslaught of numerous ride-sharing options.” ers do not have access to such co-worker camaraderie, as they lack a traditional workplace.

Currently, Uber faces a class action lawsuit challenging the company’s classification of drivers as “independent contractors.” The reclassification of drivers as employees, rather than independent contractors, would make Uber responsible for reimbursing drivers’ ex-

ever, see an alternative. The classification category of “dependent contractor,” currently used in Germany, Canada and elsewhere — but not the United States — would provide workers with greater labor protections while maintaining the flexibility which characterizes their current status.

The rise of the on-demand, freelance or gig economy has

defied traditional models of employment and thus will require untraditional methods of offering labor protections. The model of “dependent contracting” would acknowledge the need to extend protections to those now considered independent contractors. The fact that most full-time Uber drivers today fail to make minimum wage is a disgrace. It is also a disgrace that most of Uber’s 160,000 drivers have to pay for their own health care out-of -pocket.

Rather than imposing an illfitting model of employment and labor organizing on the gig economy, a system of dependent contracting would benefit the increasing number of people working as freelancers.

Unfortunately, the lines of responsibility and accountability are not as clear in the rise of the gig economy. However, the absence of a traditional employee-employer relationship does not mean that laborers should be forced to live without the legal protections offered by traditional employment. The Seattle City Council ordinance is a step in the right

clara jane hendrickson direction, but may not be particularly useful since the prospect of Uber drivers unionizing seems unpromising.

The heyday of traditional trade-union-style organizing for the stable job is over, but it should not ring in a new economic era where the trade-off between freedom and security is excruciatingly high for so many. clara jane hendrickson is a College senior from San Francisco studying political science.

No one would disagree that this has been an unpredictable election cycle. But perhaps the biggest surprise is the success of two very unlikely candidates, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Though originally written off as iconoclasts, Sanders and Trump have both made a name for themselves by embracing their anti-establishment appeal.

But what does it say about our democratic system that the two most exciting forces on either side of the political spectrum are both at odds with their own parties? By all accounts, we were supposed to be living in a period of dogmatic political polarization. So how is it that both candidates — Sanders and Trump — can stray so far from the party line and be celebrated for it?

All of this points to two political parties that have fallen out of touch with their bases.

I’d argue, however, that neither party was really in touch with its base to begin with.

A recent study by researchers at Princeton and Northwestern shows the deep divide between voter interests and

actual United States policy.

The report, “Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interests Groups, and Average Citizens,” found that “massbased interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence [on government policy].” This means that neither party, Democratic nor Republican, has done much to represent the requests of their constituencies.

The report also goes on to say which groups do have a significant independent influence on government policy, namely “economic elites and organized groups representing business.” That’s something we’d expect to find in a plutocracy rather than a democracy.

This has also had a noticeable effect on shaping not only the policies but also the ideologies of the modern Democratic and Republican parties.

In a recent article for The New York Times entitled “How Did the Democrats Become Favorites of the Rich?" political writer Thomas B. Edsall details how, in recent decades, the main distinguishing factor between the two par-

ties has become cultural rather than economic. While quoting the study, “Why Hasn’t Democracy Solved Rising Inequality?” Edsall writes, “The Democratic Party pushed through the financial regulation of the 1930s, while the Democratic party of the 1990s

Sanders supporters.

Though both candidates have galvanized support by branding themselves as populists, Trump and Sanders have split the economically frustrated masses along lines of cultural ideology.

On one side you have Don-

... both campaigns represent the same fundamental issue: the huge disconnect between the American population and the political parties who purportedly represent them.” undid much of this regulation in its embrace of unregulated financial capitalism.”

This proves that the influence of corporate interests has led the Democratic Party to adapt the economic philosophy of the right. But with this change has come a deeper division among the two parties regarding social issues. Interestingly, this is the same major force separating Trump and

ald Trump who utilizes oldschool Republican race-baiting. By running on a platform of primarily white identity politics, Trump has promised working class citizens that he’ll “Make America Great Again” by ridding the country of immigrants and Muslims.

On the other side you have Bernie Sanders, a product of the Civil Rights Era. And although he is noticeably less

vocal than Trump when it comes to his own stance on social issues, I believe it’s fair to say that the two of them stand on opposite sides of the debate.

Although Trump and Sanders are wildly different political figures, it’s undeniable that both campaigns represent the same fundamental issue: the huge disconnect between the American population and the political parties who purportedly represent them.

The rise of these two dissenting candidates, Sanders and Trump, points to a systematic failure of American democracy. Or, if we’re putting it bluntly, a failure of the two parties to keep their constituents in line. I say this not to sound cynical, but because I truly believe it’s no coincidence that the opinion of citizens has little effect on government policy.

To once again quote from the Princeton and Northwestern report, "What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of ‘populistic’ democracy … In the United States, our

CAMERON Dichter findings indicate, the majority does not rule … ” Of course that’s a hard pill to swallow when you’re a member of that majority.

That’s why, I believe, Sanders and Trump have accumulated such mass support. This is what happens when a populace comes to terms with an unpopulist democracy. But without a huge increase in voter turnout, unpopulism will stand.

New College House integrates student feedback New College House has three and six room suites JACOB WINICK Staff Reporter

First envisioned in the late ’90s, the New College House is starting to take form in time for its grand opening next fall.

While New College House will be a four-year residential program similar to Du Bois, Gregory and Stouffer, next year it will serve as an exclusively freshmen dorm due to Hill’s closure for renovations.

New College House will only have space for 340 students compared to Hill’s 500 rooms. Sansom Place West, typically an upperclassmen and graduate dorm, will also house freshmen next year.

The unique name for this residential building is not definitive.

RACE

>> PAGE 1

“In the paper, we’re concerned about the unscientific use of race as if it were a biological category and the confusion that it creates, and we’re calling for a better way of investigating human genetic variation and commonality,” Roberts said.

For one thing, the definition of the word race is unclear among scientists and even the general public. Researchers may not be thinking of the same definitions when they apply them. For example, two out of many entries on the online Merriam-Webster dictionary define race as “any one of the groups that human beings can be divided into based on shared distinctive physical traits” and as “a group of individuals who share a common culture or history.”

From a scientific perspective, the term race doesn’t accurately capture the true diversity of

“For now it will be called the New College House,” Executive Director of Business Services Doug Berger said. “It will probably be renamed at some point, but for now we’re just focused on getting it open.”

Student input was one of the key focuses in the construction of New College House. “We did a lot of student research and listening to what other schools are building,” Berger said.

“Because we wanted it to be a four year house we didn’t want just a standard dormitory,” Berger added. “What we got from students was that they wanted a different kind of setup. That meant suites, a variety of types of rooms, and many communal areas.”

Every room in New College House will be suite style housing

with three or six students assigned to a room. Each room will include either one or two private bathrooms, depending on the size, as well as a living room complete with couches and a television.

Berger believes that students will also find the house appealing because of how each room has “its own personality.”

“There’s even a room on the seventh floor that has a two story window in it,” he said.

Much to the relief of students fearing the end of Hill brunch on the weekends, New College will also have its own 175- seat dining hall located under a “lifted lawn walkway,” leading up to the entrance. New College House will also offer large lounges on each floor, communal kitchens, multimedia rooms and even a private courtyard.

The New College House on what formerly was Hill Field has been under construction since 2014 and will be open this fall.

human genetic variation — something that isn’t broken down into discrete groups. Because of the intermixing of different groups of people over time, the lines between what makes someone a member of one race is blurred.

“As a good example, Hispanics. There is no such thing as a genetically homogeneous Hispanic race or group because people who may self-identify as Hispanic typically have a whole range of ancestry that could be European ancestry, African ancestry, Native American ancestry and maybe even other ancestry,” Tishkoff said. “Plus, sometimes people’s self-identified ancestry may not match their geneticallyinferred ancestry.”

In a previous study, Roberts and Tishkoff conducted, they found that there were some people who self-identified as African who had almost no African ancestry and vice versa, demonstrating the issue of self-identification by

race in genetic research. Tishkoff mentioned that, in Africa, there is almost as much genetic variation as one would see on a global level, making it impossible for a genetically homogenous “African race” to exist.

This false belief in strict genetic lines between races can have negative effects. Roberts and Tishkoff’s paper mentioned that certain types of blood disorders, like sickle-cell anemia or thalassemia, can be misdiagnosed because of the identification of sickle-cell as a “black” disease and thalassemia as a “Mediterranean” disease. In addition, cystic fibrosis is under-diagnosed in populations of African ancestry, because it is thought of as a “white” disease.

The negative effects are not just limited to the health sector, however. The idea of race as a distinct genetic category has roots in racism, eugenics and Social Darwinism.

“Part of the problem is that there’s been this intertwining of biological and cultural definitions of race and it’s almost impossible to separate those,” Tishkoff said.

She stated that, in early history, parataxonomists would study differences in physical features among different races.

“Sometimes these so-called scientific findings were used to justify abusive and hierarchical classifications and ... ultimately lead up to things like the Nazi movement and the Holocaust,” Tishkoff said.

Similar to how the Nazi movement used physical features to characterize genetic superiority, the same mentality was used to justify slavery and colonialism.

Based on race, people were referred to as being part of a genetic group that made them inferior — even though that idea of genetic grouping was unfounded.

“Even if today scientists do no have that purpose, using that same

LIZZY MACHIELSE | ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

way of organizing human beings into supposedly biologically distinct races inevitably carries that history with it,” Roberts said.

“Even if they don’t intend for that to happen, it is interpreted that way and often is used by people who are explicitly racist to justify their claims about inferiority and superiority of different groups of human beings.”

The duo called to attention the diversity of groups in the United States today. For example, blacks are considered anyone with an African ancestry. In that case, black people can have ancestry from all over the world — a wide genetic variation — and still be classified as a genetically homogenous group in research.

Roberts and Tishkoff said that for genetic research, scientists would be better served using concepts like ancestry or ethnicity. They stressed that their call to eliminate race as a genetic category doesn’t mean that

genetic diversity isn’t important in research, but rather that other grouping techniques might be more effective.

In addition, race could be an important aspect in research when used to study social factors like socioeconomic status and its influence on health disparities or structural inequalities based on race. Roberts and Tishkoff said that their paper was a call for scientists to realize that they need to be more careful and clear in how they are using race in research.

“There can be scientific studies that use race as a social category.

Social scientists use race as a social category all the time,” Roberts said. “The problem comes when scientists are using social categories as if they were genetic categories, and that’s why we’re saying that ancestry would be a better category if you’re interested in the relationship between genes and history or population structure and evolution.”

Active Minds to release print ed. of Penntal Health Lit mag shares writing and art on mental health LEONARD EISEN Contributing Reporter

From testimonials to poetry, art is being used as a way for Penn students to address their mental health concerns.

This semester, mental healthfocused student organization Active Minds will be publishing the first print issue of its literary magazine, Penntal Health. The publication, which first appeared in online form in spring 2015, features students’ writing and artwork centered around their personal experiences with mental illness.

“I think it’s really hard to relate to mental illness if you don’t have experience with it,” College

sophomore and Penntal Health Chair Grace Ragi said, “[but] if someone is just pouring their heart out on the page, it’s a lot harder to say ‘That isn’t your experience. That’s not true.’”

College sophomore and Active Minds co-President Kathryn DeWitt said that the idea for Penntal Health grew out of the popularity of Pennsive, a Tumblr account created

by Active Minds for Penn students to share their stories related to mental health. Pennsive was started by 2015 College graduate Yuki Knapp and College seniorMaya Nauphal in January of 2014, and coincided with a period of several suicides on Penn’s campus, in which nine students took their own lives over the course of two years.

“Through Pennsive, students were able to express a lot of what

The annual conference will be held April 8-10, and will work to “emphasize in-depth, candid conversation on public policy solutions to the social, intellectual, political and cultural issues facing today’s college students,” according to its website.

Ivy Policy Conferences are hosted by the Ivy Council, a group of representatives from the eight Ivy League universities who have worked to represent the schools as a group and promote social awareness since the council’s founding in 1993.

on campus. If one sorority cannot pay the rent on the house and its inhabitants get evicted, however, this would not place all other houses in jeopardy.

Since there is no Greek housing available at some other universities nationwide, the NPC often makes it a priority to discuss how it can compensate these sororities.

Wharton and Engineering sophomore Anvita Achar and Engineering sophomore Elizabeth Hamp. The change in location helped the hackathon to grow and open it up to a greater number of participants.

Last year, roughly 30 students attended the first FemmeHacks, held at Drexel’s ExCITe Center — a number that quadrupled at this year’s event, which accepted around 120 out of over 400 applicants. While priority was given to students from the Philadelphia area, applications came from as far away as California and India.

“As Penn, we get a lot of resources that we take for granted, like a safe hacking space or getting to meet other women in computer science,” Achar said.

“So we wanted [the hackathon] to be beyond the Penn community.”

submissions to Pennsive was titled “A Cup of Coffee with a Fellow Suicide Attempt Survivor,” by 2015 College graduate Jack Park. In his submission, Park shared how he overcame his suicide attempt and offered to grab coffee with anyone who would like to talk with him about their own struggle with depression or anything else they might want to confide in someone. DeWitt said that over 100 students took him up on that offer that same semester.

“We were tapping into something real,” DeWitt said, “things [Penn students] wanted to talk about, but didn’t think they had an avenue to discuss.”

DeWitt said that many of the submissions to Pennsive were of such a high artistic quality that the Active Minds board felt they needed to get it out on a wider scale, and so they

created the web edition of Penntal Health.

Active Minds hopes the first print edition will be out in time for INSPIRE, a mental health-centered performance night that they will host on April 9 in the Rodin rooftop lounge. However, they have had difficulty finding a publisher who can meet their limited budget. Active Minds’ other co-President and College junior Peter Moon said that they were unable to secure funding from the Student Activities Council for printing costs of the magazine, but that they won $500 this semester through a competition run by the National Institute for Civil Discourse at the University of Arizona.

Penntal Health is currently accepting submissions for its next edition.

This rule does not apply to the IFC or the Multicultural Greek Council. Unlike the sororities at Penn, not every fraternity or multicultural organization has a house on campus.

Banks-Crosson said that a house should not be the selling point of joining a Greek organization.

“The facility may be an opportunity for everybody to come together and [for] it be a community space, but [the] actual

experience should be within the young group of students,” BanksCrosson said.

Banks-Crosson remained firm that this rule originated in the NPC. The infamous “brothel law” is not relevant to sorority housing, he said.

As a college student, BanksCrosson remembered hearing the same urban myth.

“The wording of the rumor is still the same after 13 years,” Banks-Crosson said.

itself as being open to women*, using the asterisk to indicate that it is open not only to cisgender and transgender women but to nonbinary or gender non-conforming students as well.

The event also featured workshops and panels led by Penn upperclassmen and industry mentors. In line with its mission of community building and networking among women in tech, all mentors and industry representatives were women.

The projects created at the event ranged from a version of the cat collection app, Neko Atsume, which allowed users to surreptitiously call 911 in times of danger, to a video game in which the user beats up 2016 presidential candidate and 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump. The grand prize went to a team from Penn that created a program to analyze text and determine its level of gender bias.

Vassar College student Laura

Barreto said that she appreciated how FemmeHacks seemed more welcoming and open than other hackathons she had attended.

“I think it’s really important to make events like these accessible to people who would otherwise feel a bit afraid or intimidated to go,” Barreto said. “The thing with a lot of hackathons is that they’re very, very competitiveoriented — I went to one in New York a few months ago and it was very ... ‘I want to win!’ and ‘Oh, you don’t know that many languages? I’ll go find another teammate.’”

Wharton freshman Lydia Chen also appreciated the event’s openness to less experienced coders.

“I’ll probably end up in the business world,” Chen said.

“Even if I can’t go out and create a functioning code that’s really complex, just having the ability to look at it and understand what’s going on... is really helpful.”

All winning streaks must come to an end, and Penn wrestling’s 13meet string of victories over city rival Drexel came to an end Saturday night.

Despite strong performances late from the Red and Blue, a 17-0 advantage built up by the Dragons proved too much to over come, falling, 23-16, on the road.

It didn’t help the Quakers’ cause that a number of their mainstays were out of the lineup Saturday, including senior CJ Cobb, sophomore Marc Mastropietro and senior Frank Mattiace. Between the three of them is a combined 15-9 dual record.

It was Stipanovich — who added 10 points for her 10th double-double of the season — and sophomore guard Lauren Whitlatch’s play inside that kept the Red and Blue ahead throughout the first half, combining for 17 boards in the first 20 minutes.

M. HOOPS >> PAGE 10

Justin Sears had 31 points to tie his career high and added nine rebounds in his final matchup against the Red and Blue.

“They play some shooters. For Sam Jones, it’s hard for him to guard our guys at the basket,” Yale coach James Jones said. “So they mix it up and put Howard on Justin, which is an advantage for Justin. [Howard] is a big, strong kid, but he’s not a post player.”

The Quakers had a chance to grab control of the game, but didn’t seize it, and Yale made them pay.

After Penn cut it to 39-37 with 18:10 to go in the game, neither team scored for nearly three minutes as the Red and Blue squandered several opportunities to tie or take the lead. Donahue conceded that the failure to score when Yale went cold likely cost the Quakers whatever chance they may have had of pulling off the upset.

“I think it did,” he said. “I thought it came to a grind. I thought we went inside out, we reacted to what they were trying to do, got open shots.

We were probably a little gassed, to be honest with you.

We had to put some full court pressure on then, limit them from three, and we did all that, but at the time, it took a toll on us. Mental and physical fatigue set in, and now you have open shots where we just don’t

Mattiace’s absence was particularly significant as the senior had just recently come off of an injury to rattle off wins in three straight matches. Still, Penn coach Alex Tirapelle thinks even guys who don’t normally start should be coming in to any situation prepared.

“They know what they’ve got to do,” he said. “They know they’ve got to execute, and they’ve been doing it in practice” The struggles for the Red and Blue came early, as junior Jeremy Schwartz lost at 125 pounds on a fall before a 4-1 decision went against classmate Caleb Richardson.

Although the 9-0 hole for the Quakers was bad, the deficit only grew larger as freshman AJ Vindici stepped into the rotation for Mastropietro at 141 pounds because of injury. Vindici lost his bout via major decision to Kevin Devoy to

Offensive output in the half came from all corners of the Red and Blue squad, with sophomore Anna Ross’ eight points leading the way as seven players got on the board. And despite the aggressive play off the glass, the Quakers found their way to the charity stripe just a single time in the half.

“We were getting good shots throughout the first half,” Stipanovich said. “We just weren’t knocking them down like we usually do.”

Out of the break, Penn found its offense again, logging 23 third-quarter points to enter the fourth with a 52-41 lead.

For the final 10 minutes, both

have our legs with us.”

With 13:22 to go, the score was still just 43-41 Bulldogs, but the Quakers’ luck ran out and Yale ran away with the game, rattling off a 12-2 run that turned a battle into a blowout.

The visitors eventually went up by more than 20, prompting Donahue to put in his bench for the final moments of the game.

The Red and Blue played hard until the final whistle, with senior Jamal Lewis and freshmen Tyler Hamilton and Colin McManus making impressive plays on both ends, including a heads-up play from Hamilton in which the first-yea r gua rd came up with a steal and, as his momentum carried him out of bounds, threw a ball off of a Yale player to secure an extra possession that resulted in a McManus bucket. The final minute had no bearing on the final result, but it did not go unnoticed by Donahue.

“I thought we competed for 40 minutes, and some people may not think that’s a big thing, but that’s a coaching thing,” he said. “And we try to — we call them bricks, we try to get three stops in a row, and we call them bricks.

I challenged those guys at the end to do that, and I thought they really competed.

“That’s how you get better, that’s how we’re going to build this into a championship program, believe it or not. We don’t quit, we don’t take anything for granted.”

Senior Eric Friedman, wrestling in only his second dual meet of the season, was also brought into the starting lineup in the absence of Cobb. Going up against No. 11 Matt Cimato, the 149-pounder was

Bethea continued his breakout campaign, netting his squad six points with a fall, before senior Brooks Martino won a 5-3 decision at 165 pounds for three more points.

Penn then turned to its big guns with seniors Casey Kent and Lorenzo Thomas, ranked 15th nationally at 174 and 184 pounds, respectively. The duo brought in nine more points as Kent secured a 9-1 major decision over Nick Elmer and Thomas scored three points with an 8-3 decision over Stephen Loiseau.

With the Red and Blue down just a single point at 17-16, the meet came down to the final two matches.

It was there that the Quakers’ rally would end.

Stepping in for the injured Mattiace at 197 pounds, sophomore Joe Heyob found himself on the wrong end of a 3-1 decision and sophomore Pat Garren dropped the final match

sides traded blows, with neither able to extend or cut much into the lead. Although with just under four to play, the Red and Blue maintained a 62-46 advantage, Brown quickly brought it back to around 10, where it stayed for the rest of play.

It was sophomore Beth Brzozowski, who led scoring for the Red and Blue with 16 points, that brought her squad through the fourth quarter, finishing the night with nine of her points at the free throw line.

When the buzzer sounded, the fact that it wasn’t the cleanest game the Quakers have played all year didn’t matter.

The end result was the same as it has been 18 other times already.

It was almost as if a different team donned the Red and Blue the next night in New Haven.

On the back of what would become a career-best 25 points from junior guard Kasey Chambers, Penn stormed out to an 8-0 lead, not yielding a point to Yale (11-18, 2-8) in the opening 2:37.

Briefly, Yale began to show signs of life, as three threepointers from 5-foot-8 junior guard Lena Munzer helped the Elis cut the deficit to 15-11, but a 25-7 run for the Quakers brought it to 40-18 before Cha mbers a nd sophomore

Lauren Whitlatch helped close out the half with a 54-26 lead.

“The players did a great job knocking down shots, really doing as good of a job hitting threes as we’ve done all year,” McLaughlin said. “Obviously Kasey Chambers had a huge first half shots, and then Lauren Whitlatch was also a big performer tonight, so it was just a great team effort.”

After tying the program record for points in a single half, the Red and Blue kept pushing, scoring six straight points to reopen play. Until the game’s final moments, the Elis never brought the spread back within 20.

for the Penn program, including in the realm of recruiting.

“When you have people who are improving as much as our women, I think high school swimmers take note of that.

When someone like Virginia is 20 seconds faster than she was in high school, people know that.

“Maybe we don’t have the best facilities and maybe we’re not the best funded, but we have the kids who work the hardest, enjoy what they’re doing, and improve the most in the conference.”

The weekend also showed how bright the future is for Penn women’s swimming. Freshman Nancy Hu set a school record in the 200 butterfly, only to break her own record again later in the day with a time of 1:58.20, and classmate Libby Jardaleza set new marks for Penn in the 100

and 200 backstrokes. After the 500, Visco added a third place finish in the 1,000 free and a fourth place finish in the mile — an impressive feat for a first-year athlete who only began focusing on the distance freestyle events since coming to Penn.

The Quakers’ upperclassmen were not to be outdone.

Junior Ellie Grimes lowered her previous school records in the 400 Individual Medley and 200 breaststroke with times of 4:16.16 and 2:15.55, respectively. Fellow junior Haley Wickham rewrote her 100 breast record with a 1:02.05 swim in preliminaries.

“I’m so proud of our women.

They had such a great year,” Schnur said. “They are such a cohesive unit and that’s what is really fun for a coach. There were no difficult personalities and they bonded from day one. They pushed each other in training and enjoyed each other’s success.

of the night, 2-0, at 285 pounds as Penn’s fate was sealed. "[Drexel] competed hard,” Tirapelle noted. “Their guys really wanted to win. They saw the opportunity, and they capitalized on it. Sure, we had guys out, but I think that if we competed to our best ability, we still win that match” Beyond Saturday’s dual, however, remain concerns about the injuries that hampered the Red and Blue having an effect as the team looks to the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Associataion Championships in two weeks.

“The plan is to have them back,” Tirapelle said, “but you can’t really know. ... It’s nice to have a weekend off and let the guys get healthy.”

If nothing else, some of the guys the Quakers may have to turn to come EIWAs got some needed experience this weekend.

After four players reached double figures — with Michelle Nwokedi’s 10 points joining Chambers, Brzozowski (15 points) and Whitlatch (13) — Penn finally removed its starters with roughly three minutes remaining, cruising to the 18-point win and keeping the dreams of a perfect Ivy season alive.

“It’s fun, it’s why they play, they have a dream to get that [undefeated season] done and I don’t want them to back down on that,” McLaughlin concluded. “If we keep playing hard like we have, they can continue this journey that they’re on, and I want them to appreciate it.”

Penn sets yet another season-best score, takes second GYMNASTICS | Hartke,

195.075, swept all four events on the day as they individually took the top spot across the board as well. Rounding out the quad-meet was the Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 191.625 and the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 188.200.

Despite the runaway performance from the hosts, the Red and Blue set themselves apart as the clear second, taking the runner-up spot in three of the four events. It was only on vault â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has been a point of inconsistency for the Quakers so far this season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where Temple edged them out, 48.250-47.625 As usual, Penn walked away from the floor exercise with its best score of the night, a 48.725 highlighted by sophomore Alex Hartkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9.800 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; second best at the meet.

NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

Somehow, Penn gymnastics just gets better every week.

For the third week in a row, the Quakers set a new seasonhigh as a unit, logging a team score of 192.400 en route to a second-place finish behind host Rutgers and ahead of Temple and Ursinus on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traveling doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a big difference,â&#x20AC;? coach John Cera lde sa id. T he coach grounded his reasoning in three consecutive weeks of success away from home as the Red and Blue have continued to build on strong performances, particularly from underclassmen.

The Scarlet Knights, finishing with a team score of

for the past couple of years,â&#x20AC;?

Ceralde said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just now starting to get some of those guys [underclassmen] into our lineup, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a factor in our success.â&#x20AC;?

Even on the floor, however, Penn couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass up Rutgers, who took 48.875 on the event.

The rest of the team scores reflected the final standings, as Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 48.675 was good for third on the floor and Ursinusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 46.550 last.

The bars and beam proved to be the middling events for the Red and Blue, as they earned team scores of 48.000 and 48.050, respectively. Once again, those two scores were each enough for second place, but not sufficient to take down their hosts. Atop the leaderboard in both events was Rutgers with 48.450 and 49.000 to round out the day.

In both events, the real

battle was for third. And for the only event at the meet, Ursinus found its way out of the cellar on beam, topping the Owls, 47.900-47.725. The bars represented a regression to the mean and Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 46.975 was enough to best the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 46.750.

Individually, Penn was able to rely on some performances it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to count on due to injury, as they team is finally finding its way back to health.

With the performances more limited to each gymnastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; senior Morgan Venuti was the only member of the Red and Blue to compete in even three events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ceralde was paid sizable dividends from the focused efforts especially of his underclassmen. Hartkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9.800 was matched only by freshman Nicole Swirlbalus, whose 9.800 on beam was the best of her

career.

For the Quakers, Saturday represented the first score over 192 all season, which they hope will set them up nicely as they look to defend their Ivy Classic title at Ithaca next weekend.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team is determined to achieve our goals,â&#x20AC;? Ceralde said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our meet today is preparing us to succeed in our next one.â&#x20AC;?

And the next one is the one that really matters.

Quakers serve up success at home against Albany W. TENNIS | Penn returns

home, Penn jumped right into the match showing no signs of slipping in form during the lull.

Beginning by securing the doubles point, the Quakers (4-3) doubled their advantage shortly after with a comfortable two-set victory for freshman Marta Kowalska.

At the top of the ladder, junior Kana Daniel continued her dominant play tacking on another point for the home team, paving the way for her classmate Luba Vazhenina to seal the triumph over the visiting Great Danes (3-3).

from a break with a win

GREG ROBINOV Sports Reporter

After two weeks off the courts, Penn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis served up a big win at home.

The Quakers defeated Albany, winning 5-2 at the Hecht Tennis Center Saturday afternoon. Despite not having played since Feb. 7 when it took down Drexel flawlessly at

Coach Sanela Kunovac believes the extra time off allowed her side to come out with an added edge at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was nice to have a week off.

The men had an ECAC tournament here so we just trained,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a chance to do some tweaking and different ways to come out on the courts, starting from the doubles. We accomplished the goals we set last week after the Drexel match, so in that sense Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with what we did in our week off.â&#x20AC;?

After improving her record to 4-0

on the season at the top spot, Daniel credited her training for the 6-2 score lines in both sets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just focusing on what I was doing in practice. Right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in midseason and school is getting a bit more stressful, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been focusing on improving something new every day,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I gave all my effort today given I was a little tired, but I was excited to play. I think I was able to play progressively better throughout the match.â&#x20AC;?

While they may not have played a match last weekend, it most certainly was not an off-week, as the Quakers spent a commendable amount of time at the Fox Fitness Center while off court.

Sophomore Lina Qostal explained that the team was sure not to slack off during the brief hiatus and

focus on strength and conditioning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last weekend when we had it off we took that opportunity to really work hard at the gym so we lifted a little bit more weight than usual. So now we feel better physically and I think that was the key to us winning today,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Qostal also shared a new warmup drill incorporated into the prematch rituals for doubles partners. It involves a series of volleys followed by an overhead at net, meant to raise the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; confidences and get them hitting hard immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really pumps us up and gives us good energy,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Looking ahead, Penn will face perennial powerhouse Maryland at home in what should be a grueling match for all involved.

Kunovac aims to right the wrongs of four years of defeats to the

Terrapins going back to the 201112 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maryland is a team that the last three seasons weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost to at 4-3, 5-2, 4-3, so they are in many ways equivalent to an Ivy match for us in terms of the level of play of their team, but also in intensity that they bring,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take notes from todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match, see what we did well, and really try to walk into that match as favorites. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate goal.â&#x20AC;?

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win represents the fourth in a string of impressive showings at home including overcoming a 57thranked Old Dominion and a fiery Rutgers squad.

Perhaps the friendly confines of Hecht can continue to provide a spark for the Quakers against fierce upcoming competition.

No. 13 PENN 12 10 DELAWARE

Season starts on right foot for Red and Blue

W. LAX | Penn victorious in season opener DAVID FIGURELLI Sports Reporter

After losing a talented senior class featuring three All-Americans coming in to the year, some were doubting that Penn women’s lacrosse could see the same success this year that they had before. But at least for now, the team managed to cast all doubts aside.

The No. 13 Quakers were victorious in their season-opener against Delaware at Franklin Field on Saturday, winning 12-10, in a game where they never trailed. Penn (1-0) jumped out to a 3-0 lead before trading blows with the Blue Hens (2-1) for the rest of the first half, with each team scoring skillful goals in transition and in tight on the crease.

Coming out of halftime, the Quakers got back on the board first courtesy of senior captain

Lely DeSimone, who scored her third goal of the day for the hat trick. Penn dominated possession for the first part of the second half, letting their offense work the ball around for long stretches and allowing Penn to score five of the first seven goals coming out of halftime.

But after Penn senior Iris Williamson’s goal at the 17-minute mark of the second half, the Blue Hens managed to swing momentum in their favor, scoring three goals over the stretch of just six minutes to make the score 12-10 with four and a half minutes remaining in the game.

But the Red and Blue defense managed to hold off the Delaware attack for the rest of the contest, showing heart and persistence in a four-minute defensive stand to hold off the energized Blue Hens from completing the comeback.

The final horn sounded as Penn celebrated its first win of the season.

“Lely and Nina are tremendous captains,” coach Karin Corbett said after the game. “They are

always striving to be better, and they have really high goals for themselves and this team. Any mistake they make they take ownership of and it fires them up to do more. They have such high standards for themselves and

they hold themselves and their teammates accountable, which is great.”

The biggest storyline coming in to the day was seeing how some of the new starters and freshmen were going to fill the shoes of the tremendously talented class of 2015, including who would be backstopping the net to replace All-American Lucy Ferguson. Junior transfer Britt Brown was given the starting job for the Red and Blue on Saturday, and she did not disappoint, making nine saves and bailing out the Quakers when they needed her most.

“Delaware has a lot of threats,” Corbett said. “And that last stand showed that they were very composed and really understood who Delaware’s best players were, so I was pleased with that.”

Corcoran echoed Corbett’s words after the game, giving high praise to the younger members of the team who had big shoes to fill.

“I think that today they played awesome and really stepped up,”

she said. “Obviously we lost a lot of big seniors and we have to gaps to fill, but it gives our underclassmen the opportunity to really shine. I mean [freshman] Katy Junior, in her first game on defense, had three caused turnovers which is awesome, so I was really happy with everyone.”

The game wasn’t without its critiques, however. Penn faces seventh-ranked Duke next week, and they’ll need to clean up their play a bit if they want to win against the Blue Devils.

“Our attack needs to play at a higher pace,” the Penn coach conceded. “We did that in the first half, and then it seemed to get stagnant and slow and even a bit careless. We had about four unforced errors, and those turnovers were what allowed them to come back. Throwing the ball away under just a little bit of pressure, things like that we’ve got to clean up because a team like Duke is going to put it down our throat.”

The Quakers will travel to Durham next Sunday to take on the Blue Devils at noon.

Penn splits weekend contests

M. HOOPS | Quakers take down Brown but fall to Yale at the Palestra

IN PURSUIT OF

PERFECTION PENN 69 59 BROWN

PENN 77 59 YALE

TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor

The Quakers passed one test this weekend, but could have used a curve on the second.

Penn basketball topped Brown by a score of 79-74 on Friday night at the Palestra before falling, 79-58, to first-place Yale on Saturday. The Red and Blue (10-13, 4-5 Ivy) were trying to get their conference record above .500 for the first time this season with a weekend sweep.

Against Brown (7-17, 2-8), Penn managed to contain Brown standouts Cedric Kuakumensah, Tavon Blackmon and Steven Spieth — brother of superstar golfer Jordan — to just 33 points combined after the Bears trio totaled 68 points in Brown’s 89-83 victory over the Quakers on Jan. 30.

Darien Nelson-Henry led the Quakers to the victory with 19 points, and the senior center was aided by sophomore Sam Jones and freshman Jackson Donahue who each drilled five threepointers.

“We made some shots that were really important,” Penn coach Steve Donahue said, also praising the performance of sophomore guard Darnell Foreman, who came within two rebounds of a triple-double and hit nine of ten free throws.

“Darnell did all the little things,” he added.

“Down the stretch, there’s nobody I’d rather have on the foul line.”

But the second matchup wouldn’t be so easy.

The Quakers hung with the Bulldogs (18-6, 9-1) for much of the game. A tight first half that ended with Yale up, 37-32, was followed by a back-and-forth start to the second half, but Yale managed to keep Penn at arm’s length before pulling away as the teams hit the stretch.

“I was really pleased in a lot of ways with our effort for 25, 30 minutes. But they’re such a good, physical basketball team,” Donahue said.

“I thought we probably lost our legs a bit, we missed a lot of shots that we made in the first half, that we’d been making recently. When you play a team of this caliber, when you get an open look, you gotta make it.”

The Red and Blue certainly didn’t make good on many of those looks, shooting just 3-for-18 from beyond the arc. Most of what little offense Penn found was provided by Nelson-Henry and junior Matt Howard, as the upperclassman duo combined for 31 points.

Yale’s top gun, however, matched that total on his own: Reigning Ivy League Player of the Year

W. HOOPS | Quakers

move to 9-0 in Ivy play

NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

On Friday, Penn women’s basketball struggled to find the basket. On Saturday, they

seemed incapable of doing anything but.

And yet in both games they cruised to double-digit victories.

On the road aga inst Brown and Yale, the Quakers continued their perfect run through Ivy play, taking down the Bears, 69-59, on

Friday before trouncing the Bulldogs, 77-59.

Although the Red and Blue had their share of troubles scoring on Friday, it was the Bears’ offensive performance that was the bigger break from the norm. After ceding just 14 points to Brown (13-11, 1-9 Ivy) in the

first half when the two teams first met, the Quakers (20-3, 9-0) found themselves up only 21-17 through the opening quarter.

Red and Blue take fourth at Ivies Awad sets new Ivy mile record W. SWIMMING | Seven

program records fall MATT FINE

Associate Sports Editor

History was made by Penn women’s swimming at the Ivy Championships this weekend.

The Quakers finished fourth overall at the Championships, which came to conclusion Saturday afternoon at the DeNunzio Pool at Princeton. Penn finished with 1,025 points, behind only three historic powers of Ivy League swimming, with Harvard, Yale and host Princeton making up the top three spots by the end of the weekend, respectively.

The fourth place-finish, which included seven school record-breaking swims, was overshadowed by several individual performances and the Red and Blue reaching the 1,000-point mark for the second time in the program’s history.

Coach Mike Schnur was elated with his team’s performance,

crediting the success on hard work that started way before the season even got fully under way on the official season start date, October 1.

“Almost everything went right,” he said. “The women worked really hard all season.

We never deviated from the original plan that was to focus on this weekend. We had a whole lot of women who bought into that plan and were willing to pay the price for six months. When you work that hard for that long, a lot of good things can happen.”

The biggest moment of the weekend came when sophomore Virginia Burns won the team’s sole Ivy individual championship on Thursday, finishing first in the 500-yard freestyle to successfully defend her title from 2015.

“The whole group Virginia trains with had a great meet. She is not successful in a vacuum. It’s a great group to work with and they push each other every day,” Schnur said. “For Virginia to get her second title in a row, it was really cool, but it was even better because [freshman] Madison

In the 500-yard freestyle final, Virginia Burns (foreground) defended her Ivy title while Madison Visco (background) took second for Penn.

Visco got second. That’s the first time in the history of the program, men or women, to have us finish first and second in an event.”

The sole relay record broken by the Quakers on the weekend came when the duo of distance freestylers paired with sophomore Ryan Alexander and freshman Mary Whiting in the

800 freestyle relay to shatter Penn’s previous school record set in 2014 by four seconds with a time of 7:14.21 — a testament to the depth of Schnur’s distance group.

Going forward, this great showing at the Ivy League finale could have big potential upsides SEE W. SWIMMING PAGE 7

Records are made to be broken, and for Penn men’s track, yet another record fell on Saturday.

At the Millrose Games, senior distance runner Tom Awad continued his torrid pace — literally — by setting a new Ivy League record in the indoor mile.

In just 3:57.03, Awad not only broke the Penn program record — which he already held — but eclipsed the 3:58.04 mark set by Dartmouth’s Will Geoghegan in 2014.

“I had a two-part goal,” Awad said. “The first was to run under 4 minutes. If I had run 3:59 or 3:58, I would have been pretty happy with it. The second goal was to try to win the race and run under 3:58. Running something like 3:57 or 3:56 was like

my dream going in.”

The East Norwich, N.Y., native’s time was good for the second-best in the nation so far this year, and positions the senior to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships for the first time in his career. Qualifying for indoor nationals, which will be held in Birmingham, Ala., requires a top-16 national time. With his time from Saturday, Awad stands in good position to travel down south come March 11-12.

“I’m pretty much a lock,” Awad said. “We’re preparing like I’m going to make it, and I’d be very surprised if 14 people in the country decided to go 3:56 this weekend. But you never know, right?”

For now, the Quakers are preparing for their final scheduled meet of the indoor season, as they head to Ithaca, N.Y., next weekend for the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, which could open the door to more regional and national NCAA qualifiers for Penn track and field.
