Bounce-back win after a tough loss? Check. Comeback win after trailing in the fourth quarter?

Check. Taking down the No. 1 program in the sport? Check.

Biggest win in program history?

Check.

Penn lacrosse’s victory over No. 1 Duke on Saturday, a 10-9 thriller in which the Quakers scored the last four goals of the game, checked all the boxes.

An evenly played first quarter saw the teams exchange goals.

Duke led 2-1 for much of the frame, but Penn’s Adam Goldner tied the game up with 14 seconds left, the first of two late-quarter goals scored by the Quakers (21) that would come back to haunt Duke.

The second quarter belonged to the Blue Devils (4-1), who opened up a 6-2 lead with five minutes left to play until halftime.

The second 2018 matchup between Penn men’s basketball and Harvard was billed as a battle between the Ivy League’s top two teams. And did it ever live up to the hype.

The Quakers took down the Crimson, 74-71, at the Palestra, getting revenge for Harvard’s 7667 win two weeks ago in Cam-

bridge, Mass. The Red and Blue (21-7, 11-1 Ivy) regained sole possession of first place in the Ivy League in what could set the stage for a rematch in the Ivy League Tournament.

Penn women’s track and field returned to the Ivy League throne on Sunday after a 22-year drought, winning the Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championships to end the indoor track and field season. The men made history of their own, posting a momentous second-place finish, their highest since 2002.

For the first time since 1996, women’s track and field placed first at Indoor Heps, and in dominating fashion, setting a Heps

program record 137 points. Harvard, who won this meet for the past five years, came in second with 105 points.

Additionally, the Penn women procured six individual championships over the two-day meet held at Dartmouth. It was the program’s most individual wins since 1988.

Report uncovers internal messages from neo-Nazi group on murder of Bernstein

GET-UP stalls unionization vote

Alleged killer is reportedly a member of Atomwaffen

They voted to withdraw the petition on Feb. 15

JAMES MEADOWS Staff Reporter

The neo-Nazi group linked to Samuel Woodward celebrated his alleged involvement in the homicide of College sophomore Blaze Bernstein, a report says.

A month ago, the nonprofit news organization ProPublica reported that Woodward was a member of the Atomwaffen Division, a group classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an active hate crime group. Now, ProPublica has obtained roughly 250,000 encrypted messages from the group through Discord — an online service designed for video gamer communication — over a six-month period.

The messages reveal the internal dialogue of Atomwaffen members across the nation.

“I love this,” one member wrote of the Bernstein’s death.

Other members expressed hope

for growing the group’s agenda as news of the murder and Woodward’s alleged connection were publicized.

“We’re only going to inspire more ‘copycat crimes’ in the name of AWD. All we have to do is spread our image and our propaganda,” wrote Sean Michael Fernandez, who has been identified by ProPublica as one of the group’s leaders in Texas.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the hate group formed in 2016 in preparation of an perceived impeding “race war.” The New York Times reported that it has since been connected to suspects in at least five homicides in the United States.

According to ProPublica, Woodward frequently posted in the group’s online threads, initially under the screen name ‘Saboteur’ and then as ‘Arn.’ He wrote about his television preferences and his desire for a girlfriend, and lauded “Mein Kampf,” the manifesto of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Woodward also reportedly attended one of the group’s violent trainings and wrote about meeting a neo-Nazi activist, James Mason.

Bernstein went missing on Jan. 2, just days before he was supposed to return to campus. He was discovered dead near the perimeter of Borrego Park in Orange County, Calif. a week later.

Woodward, who attended high school with Bernstein at the Orange County School of the Arts, was charged with the murder of the Penn student on Jan. 17. According to a sealed affidavit obtained by the Orange County Register, he told investigators that on the night of the murder, Bernstein, who was gay, had tried to kiss him.

Following Woodward’s arrest, there have been reports that the homicide was a hate crime targeted specifically against Bernstein’s sexuality. Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said at a press conference on Jan. 17 that investigators had yet to establish a motive, but that they were “open to

all evidence.”

“The question of a hate crime is one question that we have about the possibility of special circumstances,” Rackauckas said at the time.

This is not the first time that the Penn community has been affected by the Atomwaffen Division. In 2017, a member of the group allegedly posted fliers around campus that read “stop the blacks” and “join your local Nazis.”

Days after GET-UP, Penn’s pro-union graduate student group, withdrew its petition to represent graduate and professional students at Penn, members of the group have spoken out to explain the decision and to reaffirm their commitment to eventually unionize.

The decision comes just two months after the National Labor Relations Board gave GET-UP the right to hold an election on whether to unionize. It mirrors the decisions of unions schools like Yale University, University of Chicago, and Boston College have made out of fear that the NLRB may rescind an important precedent established under the Obama Administration that guaranteed Columbia University students the right to unionize.

Before GET-UP members voted to withdraw the petition on Feb. 15, Penn administrators had sent multiple emails to Penn’s graduate students urging them to vote against unionizing. The student-wide election had been planned for sometime later in the spring, but will now not occur.

GET-UP’s decision is the latest in a string of similar moves at other colleges, where unionizing efforts have stalled, members say, due to the likelihood that a Republican majority will soon take over the NLRB and dismantle the Columbia precedent.

President Donald Trump’s latest nominee for the NLRB, John Ring, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Labor Committee on March 1. If confirmed, Ring would restore a 3-2 Republican majority.

Students weigh in on MGMT 101 replacement It is a pass or fail course, which reduces motivation CHAE HAHN Staff Reporter

Wharton 101 replaced Management 100 as the undergraduate school’s introductory course for the first time last semester. The purpose of this shift was to create a less competitive environment for new Wharton students. And while many students say they enjoyed the relaxed environment and collaboration of the class, some also suggest there still may be room for improvement, specifically in its grading system and the final project.

Management 100 had been a required course for all Wharton undergraduates taken during the fall of their freshman year. A full-credit course, Management 100 students were graded on their individual contributions to a semester-long project in which teams of students partnered with outside organizations.

While many students say they enjoyed the class in the past, the competitive nature of the course, particularly its grading, drew criticism — prompting a redesigning of the curriculum.

“With collaboration being a major theme throughout Wharton, students wanted a more collaborative, less competitive environment,” Wharton 101 teaching assistant Nagu Chidambaram said.

“As a course first-semester freshmen take, Wharton 101 definitely provided an easier transition into Wharton and college life in general.”

Wharton 101, described by the website as Wharton’s “gateway course to the leadership journey,” is a half-credit, pass or fail course, with a strong focus on personal growth and leadership style.

“As a full-credit, graded course, students feel pressure to perform in Management 100. Wharton 101, as a pass or fail course, takes the pressure off students and put it on instructors and TAs to keep the lev-

el of motivation and engagement high,” said Deputy Director of the Wharton Leadership Program Anne Greenhalgh, who taught both Management 100 and Wharton 101.

Students agreed that the lectures taught by different professors were a great way to learn about the various concentrations and departments within Wharton.

“I really liked the accounting lecture in particular. It was interactive and I wouldn’t have even thought about that concentration beforehand,” Wharton freshman Jeriann Gumilla said.

In recitations, students engaged in activities designed to identify personal strengths and weaknesses.

“We did a lot of personality tests in the course and we would share them in groups. I thought the one about identifying personal implicit biases was very cool,” Wharton freshman Jordyn Wilson said.

However, there were mixed opinions about whether the course actually fostered team collabora-

tion.

“Because it was a pass or fail course, nobody had a sense of urgency or need to accomplish something beyond simply passing the course,” Wilson said. “The group dynamic was not as strong as it could’ve been.”

Engineering and Wharton freshman Will Morgus said while his group was very close, that wasn’t the case for every team.

“I feel like my team was unnaturally close compared to other groups. If they could encourage more friendship in the teams, I think it would have made the class a lot better for everyone as a whole,” Morgus said.

Morgus cited lack of structure and the pass or fail system as a possible explanation for why the course wasn’t as collaborative as it could have been.

“I think the lack of structure led to most people not taking it seriously enough though at one point or another,” Morgus said. “Maybe a kind grading system as opposed

ALANA SHUKOVSKY | DESIGN EDITOR

to being pass-fail would help.”

As a TA, Chidambaram noticed that there was some general confusion about the expectations and the purpose of the course.

Specifically, students were confused about the final project which was a condensed model of the Management 100 project in the past.

“Students were supposed to

work with clients for half of the semester, but it only ended up being the last few weeks.” Chidambaram said. “It was definitely a rush and students didn’t know what was going on.”

Because it’s a new course, Chidambaram said Wharton 101 is definitely planning on making adjustments based on the feedback they received.

Penn professor argues that gun violence affects public health The op-ed was a reaction to the Parkland shooting ZOE BRACCIA Contributing Reporter

A Penn professor wrote an op-ed denouncing gun violence and calling it an epidemic that leads to long-term psychological repercussions for everyone involved.

Steven Berkowitz, an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine and the director of the Penn Center for Youth and Family Trauma Response and Recovery, wrote an article in STAT News last week about the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

“Not just convicting the perpetrator, but a lasting societal

response to the episode. The lack of a response from our society is justice denied, which perpetuates the traumatic response and impairs the ability to heal,” he wrote in the article.

At Penn, Berkowitz focuses on childhood trauma and early intervention. In his op-ed, he argues that the consequences of gun violence have their roots in public health and trauma, and require more in-depth treatment.

Berkowitz argued in his op-ed that the only way that trauma can be stopped from spreading is by implementing stronger laws on the event’s “vectors,” or causes of gun violence — guns and bullets.

“That’s something we must do to provide a sense of justice and an opportunity for healing for

all of the victims of mass shootings,” Berkowitz said.

Berkowitz is also currently working on integrating a secondary prevention intervention called the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention into several agencies in Philadelphia, and helped to establish the nationally recognized Child Development-Community Policing Program, according to Penn’s Psychiatry department website.

Social Policy and Health and Societies professor Susan Sorenson teaches an entire course on gun violence from the public health perspective. Sorenson combined her two popular courses “Guns & Health” and “Violence in Relationships” in 2016 to create a well-rounded syllabus that “generates knowledge that

can guide policy and educate future generations in effective citizenship,” according to a spotlight on Penn’s website.

Other research at Penn has called gun violence a contained effect. Criminology professor Charles Loeffler conducted a study in Oct. 2017 that found that gun violence might not lead to further acts of violence, when researching the prevalence of gun-related crimes in Washington, D.C. Students have also begun to speak out against gun violence, advocating for common-sense gun reform in the United States.

Dozens of students, faculty, and staff protested gun violence on campus on Feb. 22.

Amy Wax’s new op-ed rekindles old debate in Penn Law Some challenge Wax’s ability to teach freshman courses LUCY CURTIS Staff Reporter

Months after she sent campus into an uproar with a fiery opinion piece praising “bourgeois culture,” Penn Law School professor Amy Wax has divided students and colleagues alike with a familiar weapon: another op-ed piece.

Her new article, titled “What Can’t Be Debated on Campus,” was published in The Wall Street Journal on Feb. 15 and explores the “unreasoned speech” she encountered in response to her original Philadelphia Inquirer op-ed.

Wax’s piece has raised questions about how Penn Law handled the ensuing furor over her controversial opinions and invited rancorous debate from professors and students over her teaching a mandatory, firstyear course.

In the op-ed, which Wax adapted from a speech she delivered in December, she accused Dean of Penn Law Theodore Ruger of asking her to “take a leave of absence next year” and stop teaching her civil procedure class, which is required for first-year students.

“When I suggested that it was his

job as a leader to resist such illiberal demands, he explained that he is a ‘pluralistic dean’ who must listen to and accommodate ‘all sides,’ Wax wrote.

Penn Law spokesperson Steven Barnes sharply disputed Wax’s claim in a statement sent to The Daily Pennsylvanian.

“Professor Wax is a valued member of our faculty and nothing has changed in her status,” Barnes said.

He described the conversation with Wax as a “discussion with the dean about the timing of a regularlyaccrued sabbatical, a discussion the dean has with many faculty members each year, as every tenured faculty member enjoys a sabbatical benefit, with full pay.”

Wax also took aim at her colleagues, including the group of 33 professors who criticized her in an open letter published in August in the DP. Their piece contained “no argument, no substance, no reasoning, no explanation whatsoever as to how our op-ed was in error,” she wrote.

One of the co-writers of the open letter, Penn Law professor Jonah Gelbach, said Wax’s piece in the Journal initially omitted the fact that he and two other legal scholars wrote extensive rebuttals to Wax in the fall. Gelbach’s essay, titled

“Facts v. Wax,” was published in September and is over 14,000 words long.

“The version of the op-ed that now appears online contains a sentence acknowledging those posts, but only because I shamed a WSJ editor into adding it,” he wrote in an email. At the bottom of Wax’s article, an addendum now reads, “The essay has been updated to note that two signers of the open letter condemning Ms. Wax’s op-ed later wrote substantive responses to her arguments.”

Gelbach also said he sent an early draft of the Heterodox Academy essay to Wax, but she responded by saying that she did not have time to read it. (Wax did not respond to repeated requests for comment.)

In addition to openly questioning Ruger’s conduct, Wax has also reopened a debate about her fitness to teach a mandatory course for 1Ls, some of whom advocated for her removal.

“A couple weeks before we even got here, she publishes an op-ed openly denigrating cultural backgrounds of students who are then required to take her class,” said Vivek Kembaiyan, a 1L student who sits on the Council of Student Representatives for Penn Law. “Students who’ve had her [are] apprehensive

about going to her office hours, or asking for a recommendation, because they come from one of the specific backgrounds that she calls out in her op-ed.”

In the fall, the Penn Black Law Students Association and the Penn chapter of the National Lawyers Guild called on Wax to be barred from teaching the course. B.J. Courville, a 1L student, said she has separately petitioned faculty members to remove Wax from the first-year curriculum as well.

“At the end of the day I deserve the same education and the same safe learning environment as the person next to me, from a strictly economic standpoint,” Courville said.

But months after that debate receded from the minds of many higher education observers, Penn Law students remain divided over Wax’s standing.

“There are a lot of times when I find myself at odds with the opinions of my professors,” 3L student Mia Rendar said. “I don’t think it’s right to punish someone for giving an independent opinion.”

Conservative sites like Breitbart and the National Review have rallied behind her and Wax has said she received many supportive emails in response to her original

Psychology Dept. to improve mental health with positive psych. program The current program lags behind other Ivies CHAE HAHN & AVNI KATARIA Staff Reporters

With mental health at the forefront of classroom discussions across the country, psychology professors and experts at Penn say they plan to become more involved in improving student mental health on campus.

Penn’s Positive Psychology Center suggests that one solution to helping students be happy is simply teaching them how.

While Penn has been developing its positive psychology program, compared to some other Ivy League institutions like Yale and Harvard universities, however, some say Penn appears to be lagging behind.

This semester, a course at Yale intended to instruct students how to lead a happier life became the most popular class in the university’s history.

Over 1,200 students — nearly one fourth of Yale undergraduates — enrolled in “Psychology and the Good Life” when it first opened this semester. A psychology class at Harvard with the same premise was taught in spring 2006 and 2015 to 1,400 undergraduates and also stands as the most popular class in the school’s history.

Despite being one of the only Ivy League institutions with a Positive Psychology Center, directed by the “father of positive psychology” Martin Seligman, Penn still does not provide large-scale classes in the field to undergraduate students.

Penn’s Psychology Department offers courses in abnormal psychology and positive psychology to undergraduates, but they are not as large as those offered at Yale or Harvard.

Abnormal psychology, for instance, was capped at 120 students this semester.

These courses are amongst the most popular classes in the Psychology Department, according to Undergraduate Director of the Psychology Department Robert Kurzban.

Last year, students in the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program introduced an initiative called “The Penn Program for Flourishing,” which aimed to provide students with “a toolkit for thriving in school and life.” The eight-week program, though not a formalized course, was open to all undergraduates.

David Yaden, a Ph.D. student and research fellow at Penn’s Positive Psychology Center said that instituting a larger course would be valuable for Penn.

“As students become more and more scientifically literate they want to know what the research has to say,” Yaden said, adding that the popularity of similar courses at Harvard and Yale “speaks to a desire in a lot of students to understand what research has to say about how to live a good life [and] increase their well-being.”

Marianne Ayala, a Yale sophomore taking the course this semester, said she took the course to take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to actively make herself happier.

“It’s getting people to think about their mental health more and how they can make campus culture better,” Ayala said. “At any Ivy League school you have an underlying competitive nature and so having a class like this will help relieve people’s stress a little bit.”

Penn’s Positive Psychology Center plans on revamping efforts to respond to increasing

KAI NIP | YALE DAILY NEWS

The director of Penn’s Positive Psychology Center, Martin Seligman, is considered the “father of positive psychology,”

student needs, according to Director of Education and Senior Scholar of the center James Pawelski.

Researchers at the center emphasized the importance of integrating positive psychology into student life.

Alejandro Adler, the director of International Education of the center, said there is a need for an expanded course offering in positive psychology, as well as education that goes beyond the classroom setting.

“Take New Student Orientation as an example, it’s a key moment and a fertile ground of transition where we can embed these life skills into incoming freshmen,” Adler said.

Among the most notable work done by the center is the development of Penn Resilience Programs, a set of “evidence-based training programs that have been demonstrated to build resilience, well-being, and optimism,” according to its website. The program has previously been delivered to corporations, the military, and even governments internationally.

Karen Reivich, the director of Resilience and Positive Psychology Training Programs,

said her center has plans to extend the Penn Resilience Program to students as well, as part of the education in positive psychology.

“That’s a major thing we’re pushing to do,” Reivich said.

“We’re looking to take all of these programs done internationally and essentially bring it back to students here. It’s the highest one on my personal list of priorities.”

However, College junior Scott Rubenstein, the new member training director of Penn Benjamins, expressed doubt about how effective adding courses in the curriculum would be.

“These courses might be taken by self-selected groups of students, like for example, psychology majors,” Rubenstein said.

He supported the idea of integrating positive psychology education during NSO, as opposed to through formalized courses.

“I know education on consent and sexual violence during NSO has been quite effective, so expanding programs on mental health during that period could be very helpful.” he said.

decision to withdraw in order to protect the NLRB’s 2016 ruling that recognized Columbia’s graduate students as legal employees of the school — a ruling that applied to students at private universities across the country.

He said members worried that if they held the election, Penn would appeal the result, which it did in 2003 to withhold the results of a unionization election.

“The idea was to remove the ability of the [Penn] administration and other anti-union university administrations from filing reviews, which would have been heard by an anti-union board, which would definitely have reversed the Columbia precedent,” Bartels-Swindells said.

Between the Trump-appointed board members and the Penn administration’s continued opposition to unionization, GETUP members reasoned that the Columbia decision was at risk of being overturned, so they made the difficult decision at their Feb. 15 general body meeting, after a vote, to withdraw the petition.

and persuasion,” wrote scholar Jon Haidt in an essay defending Wax. Gelbach and Wax’s many intellectual adversaries are not as persuaded.

“Professor Wax isn’t entitled a safe-space bubble in which she can express her opinions however she likes without fear of criticism from those whom she angers,” Gelbach wrote.

“Debate comes with a price.”

dent Miranda Weinberg said the decision to withdraw the petition was “the right move” for GET-UP given the political climate.

“Penn has chosen to align themselves with the Trump administration on this,” Weinberg said, adding that GET-UP is now hoping for voluntary recognition from Penn rather than going through the NLRB, which is how graduate students at NYU successfully unionized.

Third-year political science Ph.D. student Katie Rader said that after the “really sad” decision, GET-UP members discussed the future of the union, which Rader said was “exciting and energizing.”

An immediate next step is to support GET-UP members in the Graduate School of Education, who have been campaigning for clearer sexual harassment policies.

Despite her optimism for GETUP’s future plans, Rader said it was “frustrating” to see Penn administrators like President Amy Gutmann and Provost Wendell Pritchett strongly oppose unionization efforts.

“I feel sad and angry that this is the position we’re in,” Rader said.

“But I also feel energized, and hopeful that this is something that will preserve and promote grad organizing for the next generation of students.”

OPINION On Amy Wax’s credibility and conduct GUEST COLUMN BY PENN LAW PROFESSOR JONAH B. GELBACH

MONDAY FEBRUARY 26, 2018 VOL. CXXXIV, NO. 14 134th Year of Publication DAVID AKST President REBECCA TAN Executive Editor CHRIS MURACCA Print Director JULIA SCHORR Digital Director HARRY TRUSTMAN Opinion Editor SARAH FORTINSKY Senior News Editor JONATHAN POLLACK Senior Sports Editor LUCY FERRY Senior Design Editor GILLIAN DIEBOLD Design Editor CHRISTINE LAM Design Editor

In the Evidence class I’m teaching, we’ve just finished discussing “impeachment” — how to challenge a witness’s credibility. Sometimes a trial lawyer may ask a witness about past conduct, because reasonable jurors may doubt a witness’s truthfulness today if they determine the witness has behaved deceitfully in the past.

That came to mind Tuesday when The Daily Pennsylvanian asked me to write a guest column about Professor Amy Wax’s recent Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Back in August, Professor Wax published a co-authored op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer and soon after did an interview with the DP. I assume most people around Penn are familiar with the controversy that ensued, including the open letter published in response by 33 of Professor Wax’s colleagues, which I organized.

Professor Wax’s WSJ op-ed characterizes conversations with several colleagues — and the Dean, who she claims caved to “pressure” to “banish” her by asking her “to take a leave of absence.” A news article in the DP quotes the law school’s spokesperson stating the Dean discussed Professor Wax’s regular sabbatical leave, which is one form of leave of absence under Penn’s policies.

I wasn’t involved in whatever communications occurred between Professor Wax and either Dean Theodore Ruger or our other colleagues. But her record of selective editing and behavior that contradicts her claimed principles have led me to distrust whatever Professor Wax won’t document in full.

First, in the initial version of her WSJ op-ed, Professor Wax neglected to tell readers about two

detailed substantive rebuttals of her Philadelphia Inquirer claims — each published by an open letter signer.

Professor Wax’s omission was a serious one. It induced the WSJ to tweet the falsehood that Professor Wax’s “colleagues were eager to banish her but not to discuss the issues.” Only after I pointed out the falseness of this promotional tweet did the WSJ update the online version of her op-ed, inserting links to the critiques Professor Wax failed to acknowledge.

Second, Professor Wax has not responded in substance to either Professor Klick’s critique or mine. That’s inconsistent with her claim that she believes in reasoned debate.

Third, when she did acknowledge my critique’s existence in an October speech at Penn Law, Professor Wax falsely claimed I called her Inquirer piece “a hateful diatribe” (go to 12:55 of this video). That is false. I did call her piece “a diatribe,” and though the distinction might seem small, it was quite significant in context.

(I don’t have space here to explain why, but anyone interested can go here, type Control-F, and then “diatribe,” to see what was at issue).

Fourth, in the WSJ, Professor Wax claims that the open letter rejects “all of [her] views.” A paragraph down she suggests we condemned her personally for those views. I teach my law students to read fairly and in context.

When one reads the open letter

that way, one sees that Professor Wax’s description is one part tendentious and one part false. The open letter quoted a particular set of statements in order to reject them in particular; on no reasonable reading did it condemn “all of [her] views.” And not even an unreasonable reading backs up her claim that it condemned her personally.

Fifth, Professor Wax claims the open letter invited students to monitor and report on her. That’s misleading, too, because this part of the letter was addressed “To our students” — which means all of them — and suggested they should let faculty know if their experience at Penn Law isn’t characterized by “academic freedom, open debate and a commitment by all participants to respect one another without bias or stereotype.” Tellingly, Professor Wax’s WSJ op-ed references the “without bias or stereotype” part but fails to mention our endorsements of “academic freedom” and “open debate.”

Sixth and seventh are two instances in which Professor Wax took aim at my own ability to speak publicly. The day my response was published at the Heterodox Academy blog, Professor Wax emailed its editor, Jon Haidt — New York University’s Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership — and asked him to censor it. To his discredit, Professor Haidt acceded, refusing to re-publish unless I edited in accord with Professor Wax’s

JONAH B. GELBACH demand. Finally, a few hours after I sent Professor Wax my draft, she emailed Dean Ruger and both his deputies, asking them to “encourage” me to “retract” the open letter. These acts are inconsistent with the “free and open debate in a civil manner” Professor Wax says she favors.

I don’t know why Professor Wax has engaged in so much misleading conduct. Maybe it’s a clear-eyed scheme to con people who gullibly swallow any horror story about universities, maybe her feelings are hurt because so many colleagues rejected her statements so publicly, and maybe she has some other motivation.

Last week, Penn graduate students withdrew their petition for a vote to unionize. A lengthy campaign — and months of heated debate between the administration and various graduate student groups — has drawn to a temporary close.

The unionization campaign, spearheaded by the organization Graduate Employees Together — University of Pennsylvania, shone a spotlight on a raft of issues that Penn graduate students face: sexual harassment and discrimination, compensation disparities between programs, trouble finding proper mentorship, and access to health insurance.

Ultimately, the petition was withdrawn as a strategic move — not because the prospect of a union lacked support, but because the current tilt of national politics threatened GET-UP’s ability to win a favorable ruling from the National Labor Relations Board. A sizable portion of graduate students still feel that a union is necessary to mediate their relationship with the University, and ensure that they receive the benefits they feel they are owed.

Disagreement remains about

whether the upsides of a union would outweigh the downsides. But what is clear is that Penn’s administration must continue its dialogue with graduate students, even though the threat of a union is no longer immediate.

Graduate students, spread across 12 different schools, are a relatively disjointed constituency. Some arrive at Penn fresh from undergraduate programs, but others are married with children. Some programs take a year, while others can last up to a decade. In addition to taking classes, graduate students form an army of teaching and research assistants that keep Penn running.

Addressing their needs is imperative to the success and vitality of the University. The Graduate and Professional Assembly meets with administrators regularly to make progress on these issues, and many graduate students are involved in both GAPSA and GET-UP. The administration must make sure that these conversations continue. It also must expand, taking into consideration the needs of all students, not just those formally organized in student government or

activism.

In an email to graduate students following the petition withdrawal, President Amy Gutmann and Provost Wendell Pritchett promised that the Graduate Student Center would host a “series of conversations.” In these conversations, ad-

sity introduced a number of new policies designed to improve the experience of graduate students.

Full-time Ph.D. students saw half the cost of Penn Dental Insurance reimbursed. All professional and full-time graduate students earned access to Pottruck Health and Fit-

Graduate students form an army of teaching and research assistants that keep Penn running.” ministrators said graduate students will have the opportunity to “share your views about the issues that are most important to you, especially regarding diversity, mentoring, and harassment.”

These talks, if productive and inclusive, are a commendable first step. But the dialogue between the administration and graduate students must also yield action.

In the fall of 2017, the Univer-

ness Center, Sheerr Pool, and Fox Fitness Center without needing to pay any additional fees. $1 million in annual funding for need-based grants to Ph.D. students, to help cover the costs of health insurance and childcare, was announced.

Though GAPSA had spent years advocating for these changes, they were announced at the height of GET-UP’s unionization campaign.

When considering new policies

that impact graduate students, Penn should act with the decisiveness and urgency that it did while the unionization campaign was ongoing.

In their email, Gutmann and Pritchett promised that “graduate and professional students are at the very heart of our mission at Penn: expanding the frontiers of innovative scholarship and research, teaching the next generations of future leaders, and creating new ideas that change the world.”

Even though, for now, graduate and professional students will not wield formal bargaining power, Penn must continue considering their needs in addition to valuing their work.

Graduate students teach and guide their undergraduate peers, provide valuable assistance to professors, and pioneer new research.

They’re a large part of the reason Penn gets to call itself a top research university with global reach, and a center for innovation and social change.

And, regardless of whether or not they ever form a union, graduate students must continue to have a voice.

When the liberal bubble is justified FRESH TAKE | Racial minority rights are not up for debate Much to the dismay of students who long for snow days, the only snowflakes Penn has seen this semester have been of the liberal kind.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton secured 91 percent of votes cast on Penn’s campus.

Like the geographic cling wrap that keeps Penn students within the bounds of 30th to 40th streets, a stronger, impenetrable foil wrap keeps in the progressive voices and deflects the conservative. A few stray right-wing molecules float around, making no measurable impact on Penn’s ideological barometer.

Article after article delineates concerns that the progressive echo-chamber perpetuates lib-

eral arrogance, shutting out and alienating a sect of the population that can actually contribute valuable ideas to society.

Remember, one of the main reasons we like diversity in thought is that through the vehicle of debate, we can achieve the end goal of better societal outcomes.

But, it’s a bit simplistic to think that every issue necessarily fits this cookie-cutter method to improve society. On issues of minorities’ rights, perhaps a one-sided conversation ensures the better societal outcome. Perhaps limiting conservative viewpoints serves to halt the perpetuation of traditionally stronger voices, giving a voice to those who have been histori-

cally silenced.

Perhaps the liberal snowflakes have a point.

Here’s the issue where it matters: The lives of racial minorities should not be used as horseplay for political banter. This is a realm where viewpoints from the right seek to silence those who have already been traditionally suppressed.

Penn Law professor Amy Wax recently made headlines again for a new Wall Street Journal opinion piece arguing against the ostensible lack of “civil discourse” on college campuses. On this, columnist Dylan Reim wrote “we think people with fundamentally different views are attacking us.”

Reim makes a valid point about the necessity of opening dialogue, but this is a generalization that assumes that every single issue has multiple valid philosophical interpretations.

The truth is that our society has already objectively rejected many ideas — racism being chief among them. Racial affairs is not an issue where the left and right can sit in a room, pour tea, munch crackers, and hash out a great societal outcome.

Let’s be clear: I’m not trying to advocate for the stifling of dichotomous voices in a healthy debate on tax reform. I’d hate for the left to exclude the right in immigration policy or marijuana legalization debates. I don’t want to end heated discussion on how to reach bipar-

tisan consensus on facing the national debt.

But, I will refuse to dignify “discourse” on my inferiority, especially in an environment where conservative ideas perpetuate minority discrimination. Open debate cannot be a chance for politics to rebut my identity. The liberal push-back defends intolerance of ideas that society agrees are fundamentally injurious.

While Wax claims to be supporting academic discourse, her

stantiate an argument of racial superiority, she carries a great responsibility. While she may consider her writing from a purely academic standpoint, the truth is that, for the marginalized, politics and daily life are inseparable. This “civil discourse” is workplace wordplay for some. For others, it’s daily insecurity. For yet others, it’s constant fear of police brutality.

Eighty percent of Republicans do not support the Black Lives Matter movement. After

Racial affairs is not an issue where the left and right can sit in a room, pour tea, munch crackers, and hash out a great societal outcome.” words can — albeit unintentionally — fuel hate on campuses.

Exhibit A: the result of the 2016 presidential election, while not directly racist, validated hate and allowed it to flourish.

White-supremacist propaganda increased at colleges by 258 percent from fall 2016 to fall 2017. Hate crimes on campuses increased by 25 percent from 2015 to 2016, with a spike in November 2016. Many of these incidents made references to the then-president-elect.

Wax may not be a white supremacist, but if her words sub-

his nomination by the Republican Party, Donald Trump told the Associated Press that the movement was “inherently racist.” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) prefers “All Lives Matter.” Rather than offering meaningful discourse, some of these conservative voices seek to mute those that have already been historically unable to speak.

Conservatism, by definition, perpetuates the status quo.

When that status quo is the preservation of an imbalance in power, the left’s lack of malleability in its opinions is a lack

of tolerance for being silenced.

Many Black Lives Matter supporters face inescapable daily persecution that some conservatives who are against the movement will never experience. For the victimized, racial affairs transcend politics.

Those that are against marriage equality can preach to crowds and then get on with their days, unaffected. For a young gay couple, the issue extends beyond a protest — it shapes their daily lives.

Debate is great. But there are issues that are so fundamentally entangled in a group’s basic rights that they transcend the arena of meaningful political discussion. Liberal “intolerance” evens the historically unbalanced playing field. Maybe it’s time to stop hiding blatant discrimination under the guise of political discourse.

Police response to Eagles riots reveals double standard EBONY AND IVY | Peaceful Black Lives Matters protesters are met with force while Eagles fans were left unchecked The beginning of this month was marked with a historic win for the city of Philadelphia. After three attempts at the title, Philadelphia’s treasured football team saw its first-ever Super Bowl win. Such a win was due cause for a celebration that could parallel its historical significance. Yet, for many, the festivities extended beyond the confines of the living room.

Thousands of Philadelphians gathered in Center City, where unrest and rioting was rampant.

However, the revelry heard all across Philadelphia the night of Feb. 4 and the necessary cleanup the morning of Feb. 5 was emblematic of something very distant from celebration: an increasingly troubling double standard in policing.

That Sunday night, Eagles fans swarmed the streets of Center City, many in their midnight green jerseys and beer in hand.

Majority-white crowds felt emboldened and used the Eagles’ victory as justification to wreak havoc in their own city. People climbed atop poles, jumped on newsstands, looted stores, and set fire to city streets. Yet, de-

spite the intensity and sheer volume of rioting and acts of vandalism, there was minimal police force keeping rioters in check.

What’s more concerning, however, is the readiness of police force in the case of peaceful Black Lives Matter protests.

It seems as though, the biggest difference here is in demographics: celebrating white football fans versus black protesters voicing injustices.

The Black Lives Matter of Philadelphia response to Sunday’s events couldn’t have rang truer: “It is nothing new to us that hordes of predominantly white fans setting fires, flipping over cars, and destroying property are viewed as ‘rowdy’ and engaged by police in a nonthreatening manner, while crowds of predominantly black and brown people blocking traffic or even holding candle light vigils to protest state violence against black and brown people are met with scores of hostile police and viewed as ‘violent.’”

It’s almost frightening that in the case of actually violent

and disruptive acts, the police force wasn’t prepared to keep fans accountable. Yet, in the case of peaceful protest, advocating for protection against unjust law enforcement, police

The same black bodies that are being celebrated this month, should also be valued every other day of the year.” reinforcement seem prepared with a militaristic response.

Meanwhile, football fans that are looting gas stations, demolishing light poles, and setting vehicles on fire are not looked at as criminals, but rather as excited fans giving praise where it is due. The same courtesy given to the crowd of fans that night has rarely, if ever, been given to black protesters.

These responses, and lack thereof, are indicative of a greater issue at hand: a violent

as such. Statements made last year by John McNesby, the president of Philadelphia’s largest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5, are emblematic of such beliefs. He called Black Lives Matter activists a “pack of rabid animals” and a “racist hate group determined to instigate violence.”

President Donald Trump, while on the campaign trail, called the movement “inherently racist.”

This isn’t a new issue, however. Back in 2008, after the Phil-

lies won the World Series, the same patterns occurred — carflipping and all. This doublestandard isn’t an issue confined to the city-lines of Philadelphia.

All around the nation, there seems to be undue militaristic responses to BLM. The iconic photo taken in Baton Rouge, La. speaks louder than my words ever could. From the protests of the civil rights era, where black protesters were hosed down, clubbed, and attacked for their pursuit of equal rights, to the police bombings of black activist homes in 1985 in Philadelphia, violent responses to black activists are not uncommon.

We’ve come a long way since then, but true justice is the result of a continuous quest to do better.

That Sunday night into Monday morning would have marked the 23rd birthday of Trayvon Martin, a victim of a justice system still struggling to truly value black bodies. It couldn’t have been more of an apt time to recognize changes that still need to be made. Black Lives Matter continues to fight for lives like his everyday that are being un-

CHRISTINE OLAGUN-SAMUEL rightfully taken and unjustly underserved. The Super Bowl riots raised a trying question: How can it be that our police forces are more likely to call out a cry for justice than they are unwarranted rioting?

As Black History Month comes to a close, maybe it’s time for all of us to reflect and reassess. The same black bodies that are being celebrated this month should also be valued every other day of the year.

Penn received grant to preserve native languages

The Penn Language Center was awarded $74,622 SETH SCHUSTER Staff Reporter

While Penn does not currently offer a wide range of Native American language classes, the University may soon become the first institution in the Ivy League to offer course credit for undergraduate North American Native American language classes.

Penn currently offers Quechua, a language native to South American indigenous groups in the Andes. However, this class is not sustainable and cannot be offered for four semesters to fulfill the Penn Language requirement, according to Executive Director of Language Instruction Christina Frei.

But this past December, the Penn Language Center was

awarded a level-two, two-year $74,622 Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which Frei said PLC will go towards revitalizing and preserving native languages and cultures.

PLC met with the Price Lab at the University of Pennsylvania to establish a timeline for the grant, including an October 2018 meeting between the tribal groups involved in this project.

The Penn Language Center, separately from the grant, also plans to expand its native language offerings to include Cherokee. According to Frei, they already have recruited professor Tom Belt, coordinator of Western Carolina University’s Cherokee Language Program.

It is possible, but unlikely, that Cherokee will be introduced in fall 2018.

“It’s going to be a long term process; it’s not something that can be done in the short term,” Frei said.

Keturah Peters, a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and a Nursing senior, said she would take a Cherokee language course if offered.

“For me, it sometimes feels like you come to these institutions that you are pushed to study what people consider to be most ‘useful’ here in the United States,” Peters said. “They do not emphasize how language can be empowering or a form of resistance.”

Wharton junior and Chickasaw Nation citizen Caleb Carter said that there are currently fewer than 75 speakers of Chikashshanompa, the native Chickasaw language. In light of this situation, the Chickasaw Nation has made pushes to make sure the

language is not lost.

“My tribe has been making a big push lately to ensure the language isn’t lost, and so they’re offering a newly-developed free Rosetta Stone of the language to all Chickasaw citizens,” Carter said. “It would be such an amazing gesture of respect if Penn worked to help preserve Native American languages by finding ways for courses of study like this to count toward students’ language requirements.”

Among other Ivies, Yale is the only institution that offers a wide array of Native Language courses — Navajo, Ojibwe, Lakota, Cherokee, Choctaw, Mohawk, and Hawaiian — through its 2015 Native American Language Project (NALP). These classes are not offered for credit.

Yale sophomore Chase Warren, who takes two classes in the program, said that Yale and its peer institutions trail behind major institutions which offer indigenous language programs for credit, including Stanford University, University of Minnesota, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“I think it’s honestly a shame that the Ivies lack native-related education,” Penn College freshman and member of the Lumbee tribe Connor Beard said. “By institutions like Yale not giving the language the same status as we would other [languages], the culture and language is being de-legitimized.”

This semester, Harvard announced the tenure of a Native American studies Professor Philip J. Deloria. Other Ivies, such as Cornell and Dartmouth, teach Native American linguistics classes, but not language courses.

Penn also offers a Native American linguistics course through the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative (NAIS), a Penn program dedicated to the culture and history of native and indigenous populations in the Americas.

The course is taught by Professor Gene Buckley and deals

with the structure of language — sounds, word formations, and sentence structure — rather than vocabulary.

Despite the lack of current formal class offerings, Penn students theoretically have access to any indigenous language courses at the Penn Language Center, Frei said. The class would need to have a minimum of six students and the PLC would need to secure an instructor.

All courses offered through PLC count for credit.

“It is a mission of the Penn and the Penn Language Center to promote and preserve indigenous languages,” Frei said. “The deans understand that diversity also includes indigenous communities, and often times these communities are left out when talking about diversity.”

The NEH grant is just the beginning for indigenous language

and culture revitalization at Penn, explained Frei.

“We are leading the pack,” she said. “I think Penn can play a big role in achieving this goal.”

As for what the future holds, Frei alluded to the potential of receiving a level-three NEH grant, which would give the the PLC upwards of $300,000. A grant of that magnitude would help to sustain involvement with tribal pedagogy, and help Penn discover how tribes are teaching their language and what kind of pedagogical tools are they using to do so.

“Coming from a tribe that revived their language, I see great importance in learning and using it to both keep it alive and honor my ancestors,” Peters said. “For me, it is less about how I will utilize it but more about the fact that it is a huge part of my identity as a Mashpee Wampanoag individual.”

Penn Libraries preserve Marian Anderson records

The project includes her 146 diaries and 34 scrapbooks HYEJUN BAE Contributing Reporter

Penn Libraries is launching a famous donor and Philadelphia icon back onto the world-stage.

Penn Libraries received a yearlong grant to digitize some of its Marian Anderson collection. This project will include 1,200 performance programs, 146 personal diaries, 34 scrapbooks, 34 transcriptions from interviews for her autobiography, and 277 hours of noncommercial recordings, according to PennCurrent.

Marian Anderson, the 20th-century world-renowned singer from Philadelphia, donated over 500 boxes of items to Penn. One of the few successful black classical singers at the time, Anderson “became a symbol of hope for black Americans,”

according to fourth-year graduate student Siel Agugliaro.

“Until today, researchers could consult it only by visiting the Kislak Center for Special Collections at the Van Pelt Library,” Agugliaro said. With the grant, a considerable portion of the collection will be available on Penn’s online platform OPenn.

This project will not only “generate a pretty impressive data set with her performances,” but also provide “a more intimate portrait of Marian Anderson,” Rare Book and Manuscript Library Director David McKnight said.

She was a “quiet, dignified woman,” whose “quiet act of defiance spoke volumes” in the face of racial prejudice, according to Richard Griscom, the associate university librarian for collections and liaison services at Penn. McKnight said that while Anderson’s artistry was “revered” in Europe, in the United

States, Anderson was treated as a second-class citizen for her race.

“Just by persevering was her political act,” he added.

The digitization of the collection would provide insights into both historical and personal contexts, Griscom said. “The sound recordings of her private performances are gonna be of interest to musicians who study her vocal style, who study the repertoire,” and her concert programs will likewise lay out the patterns of musical style at different points of her career.

The scrapbooks and transcripts of interviews for her autobiography would provide insights into the civil rights movement at the time through her professional struggle as a black singer, he added. Diaries and notebooks, on the other hand, would reflect the personal layer beneath the surface of her career.

Not all materials will be available to the public, however. While

Anderson has yielded much of the intellectual property rights to Penn, some materials, such as sound recordings, sheet music, and correspondence letters, may be subject to restriction of U.S. copyright law. In the case that some of the items cannot be made freely available to the public, the material would be available with a PennKey login, making it still available to Penn community, Griscom said.

Still, Penn music professor Jeffrey Kallberg said the digitized Anderson collection will be useful for research projects of Penn students and students of other institutions.

McKnight agreed, saying that the collection enables “interesting technological” projects that will make Anderson more accessible to the public, such as a map showing locations of Anderson’s performances.

This grant is one of three dedicated to preserving major cultural collections. Through a second

Anderson is considered a “symbol of hope for black Americans,” as she was one of the few successful black singers during the 20th century.

grant, Penn will collaborate with Columbia University and the Free Library of Philadelphia to digitize Arabic, Persian, and Turkish texts.

The third grant will preserve documentation of Philadelphia’s early religious congregations to study how different faiths collaborated during America’s founding.

Kallberg said studying Marian

Anderson’s life provides a host of interdisciplinary opportunities.

“The combination of great artist and great social activist sets the Anderson collection into a unique light,” Kallberg said. “It is exactly this remarkable combination that will make [the collection] a treasured resource when it is fully digitized.”

weekends of his career.

“Coming in, we thought we had a chance,” he said. “It was exciting to actually watch, though, as we performed exceptionally across the board.”

Senior captain Abby Hong had the performance of a lifetime in her two distance events, winning two of Penn’s six individual titles. She captured Penn’s first individual championship since 2012 in the 3,000-meter run on Saturday, posting a time of 9:38.98 — almost five seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Hong followed that up on Sunday with another individual championship in the 5,000m, crushing the school record by over four seconds with a final time of 16:24.46.

“There is something about the atmosphere of Heps and knowing that we are all competing for something greater than ourselves that allows for such special performances,” Hong said.

the first half, but the game was always within reach for both teams.

Neither led by more than five points until the Quakers had a 67-60 advantage with 2:13 left in the game, and there were 20 lead changes.

After taking the lead, 59-58, with 5:33 remaining in the second half, Penn never relinquished the lead, but it required some clutch shooting.

Harvard forward Seth Towns’ three with 50 seconds left reduced Penn’s lead to two points, 67-65, but senior guard Darnell Foreman found senior guard Caleb Wood open on the side wing near the corner for a three that padded the Red and Blue’s lead to five points with 29 seconds left.

Towns was able to launch a halfcourt shot down three points as the buzzer sounded but it was no good.

Despite owning the two best Ivy defenses, the teams combined for 40 points scored in the first 10 minutes. Penn shot 14 for 26, including 5 of 13 from three, but ceded 12 of

the first time in program history.

Nwogwugwu finished with a time of 1:13.09. Notably, it was her first time all season racing in that distance. Teammate Candace Taylor also placed, finishing third with a time of 1:14.66.

Beyond individual running performances, the 4x800m relay quartet of Gina Alm, Makayla Schneider, Nia Akins, and anchor Katie DeVore not only took first place, but demolished the competition by nearly three seconds, finishing in 8:47.87.

The Quakers also had a pair individual championships on the field, both in events that they had never won at Heps. Junior Rachel Lee Wilson earned a gold in the weight throw, throwing for a distance of 18.7m. In the high jump, junior Anna Peyton Malizia set a new school record and took first by leaping 1.80m.

In addition to the six first-place finishes, the championship was earned through a deep all-team effort. Many Quakers scored high for their team with second- or third-place finishes. Notably, Maddie Villalba took second in the

mile with personal best of 4:49.26.

Sophomore Breanne Bygrave placed second in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.55 seconds. Senior Taylor McCorkle sprinted for silver in the 60m with a time of 7.49.

In the 400m, Penn had three runners score: rookie Caroline O’Neil in second, sophomore Cecil Ene in third, and freshman Camille Dickson in sixth. Sophomore Maura Kimmel placed second in the shot put with a strong 15m toss. Molly Minnig took silver for the second straight year on pole vault with a mark of 3.95m.` The men’s performance was almost as historic, as their secondplace finish was their best in 16 years.

Junior sprinter Calvary Rogers outlasted the competition and took gold in the 200m for the second year in a row, tying his own meet record with a time of 21.39. The two-peat was special enough to make up for the fact that last year, he won the event in spectacular fashion, racing alone in a heat of one.

In the heptathlon, sophomore

Even Lee took silver with a total score of 5,330 points. The score ranks third in program history.

23 shooting, including 4 of 6 from three to the Crimson. However, scoring slowed down in the next 10 minutes, with the teams combining for 30 points.

Sophomore guard Ryan Betley, coming off the bench with the team celebrating its seniors, scored 10 of the Red and Blue’s first 17 points, finishing the first half with 13 points fueled by a torrid 4 of 5 clip from three-point range. Foreman added eight of his 14 points and two of his five assists in the half.

Harvard coach Tommy Amaker had nothing but praise for Foreman.

“I thought he was tremendous.

He played like a senior backcourt player,” Amaker said. “Very poised, I thought he made great decisions and he controls their team incredibly well, he gets everyone involved.”

While the Quakers were efficient on offense in the first half, it was a different story in the second half.

Betley did not score in the second half until he made two free throws with 12.7 seconds remaining in the game, failing to convert on any of his five attempts. As a team, Penn

shot just 2 of 13 from three in the second half.

Coming to the rescue on offense was sophomore forward AJ Brodeur, who scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half and contributed 12 rebounds, four assists, and four steals.

A Crimson offense that saw six players score between 5 and 8 points in the first half turned into a one-man show in the second half.

Towns provided 16 of his 22 points in the second half, finishing with 7 of 10 shooting and eight rebounds.

He scored 10 of Harvard’s last 13 points, including two clutch threes in the final minute to keep the Red and Blue from pulling away.

Guard Corey Johnson added 14 points for the Crimson, and forward Chris Lewis, who torched Penn for 25 points in the season’s first matchup, was held in check for nine points. Donahue acknowledged that the Quakers were not going to let Lewis be the focal point of the Harvard offense again, and Amaker noted some of the adjustments Penn made.

“You saw them double some.

They didn’t do that the first time, and I thought they really collapsed a lot,” Amaker said. “They made it very difficult for him to have space to work and he missed some. For him to shoot under 50 percent and he’s taking everything in the paint, he needs to be better.”

Both coaches acknowledged that one of the keys to the Red and Blue’s victory was the Quakers winning the turnover battle. Penn forced 14 Crimson turnovers and scored 22 points off those chances, versus Harvard scoring eight points off eight turnovers.

“They’re so active on defense, so I like to think you have to attack them, otherwise you’re going to go east and west. They swarm the ball, and the most gratifying thing is we didn’t make turnovers,” Donahue said. “I thought we made good decisions, we didn’t play a great offensive game but played a pretty game all-around.”

Donahue also noted Penn’s success in committing far fewer defensive fouls in the second half than in

vault after tying with Princeton’s August Kiles, resulting in a jumpoff. Clarke cleared 5.25m, but could not match Kiles’ 5.3m jump.

Dolan was impressed with the men’s finish.

“Moving up to second place was a great step forward for the program. I’m proud of the indi-

vidual performances and team effort from everyone this weekend,” he said.

“The diversity of the events is what makes track and field interesting. Both Penn teams proved that they have a strong balance throughout the events, and that is was what made the difference today.”

Senior Darnell Foreman led the Quakers to a huge win over Harvard that put them in sole possession of first place entering the final weekend.

the first. This led to Harvard not getting as many chances at the foul line as it might have liked and avoided serious foul trouble to Brodeur and others.

Penn now controls its destiny in regard to seeding in the Ivy League Tournament. If the Quakers beat both Yale and Brown next weekend to close out the regular season, they will secure the top seed.

Foreman says Penn cannot fly under the radar now, and in fact has a target on its back.

“We’re at the top of the league as far as record, so teams are going to be hungry like we were last year, so we have to work even harder,” Foreman said.

“We can’t relax because that tournament is grueling. Guys are going to be giving their best shot.”

MICHAEL LANDAU Contributing Reporter

Penn men’s swimming and diving reached the finish line of its season this week at the Ivy League Championships.

The Quakers (6-4, 2-4 Ivy) finished in fifth place out of seven teams after four days of competition with a total of 1032.5 points at the DeNunzio Pool at Princeton. Harvard (90, 6-0) won the Ivy League title for the second consecutive year with 1630.5 points, and Princeton (7-4, 5-2) came in second with 1285.5 points. Brown did not compete in the meet due to allegations of hazing among the team members.

Despite the low team result,

late March at the University of Minnesota. “He breaks pool records and meet records and Ivy records,�

Schnur said. “He’s set up as one of the top fifteen guys in the country right now heading off to NCAAs.�

The Quakers had several other successful performances in the pool this week. A few of these included junior Mark Blinstrub’s second-place finishes in the 100 and 200 backstroke, junior Thomas Dillinger’s third-place finishes in the 200 IM and 100 freestyle, and freshman Will Thomas’s third place in the 1000 freestyle.

While Penn was not able to overcome some of its closest rivals in Harvard and Princeton, the result was not completely unexpected. The Crimson and Tigers posed tough competi-

tion this year, as they both had already defeated the Quakers during the regular season.

Despite finishing in the bottom half of the team standings this week, Penn swimming and diving anticipates a bright future. The team is only graduating three seniors, and some of its best performers including Andrew, Blinstrub, and Dillinger are all returning for one final year. Competition from the other schools in the Ancient Eight will remain strong, however, so the Quakers will need to bring their best to the pool in order to break into the top tier. “Half of our Ivy team were seniors last year. Now half of them are freshmen,� Schnur said. “It’s an exciting time because we have such a small senior class this year. We have a lot of young guys who are going to be mainstays in our pro-

year. This year, they play hungry, they play energized, and they play tough.

It’s incredible to think that the Quakers who fell to Princeton last year and the Quakers who just topped Harvard are almost completely the same team.

There has been only one significant change from last season’s lineup — graduate Matt Howard was replaced by a returning Antonio Woods — but the Red and Blue look entirely different, and significantly better.

There’s a lot of different reasons for this, but it all starts with Donahue. He’s brought Penn men’s basketball out of the dark days and back to relevance for the foreseeable future.

Abby Hong edges competition for Player of the Week nod Senior runner wins two individual Ivy League titles BREVIN FLEISCHER Associate Sports Editor

Attempting to choose a single standout performer from Penn Athletics this weekend was a nearly impossible task.

AJ Brodeur led the Quakers in a win over Harvard that put them in sole possession of first place in the conference. Meanwhile, the women toppled Dartmouth behind Ashley Russell’s career-high 21 points to punch its ticket to the Ivy League Tournament.

the historic confines of Franklin Field, the Quaker lacrosse teams took turns defeating the sport’s blue bloods in dramatic fashion.

The women, led by four goals from Zoe Belodeau, took down Johns Hopkins, and the men, led by Chris Santangelo’s heroic performance at the faceoff X, shocked No. 1 Duke with a comeback 10-9 victory. In the pool, Mark Andrew broke a pair of school records to bring home two individual Ivy titles for Penn men’s swimming.

In a normal week, any one of these individuals would have earned DP Sports Player of the Week honors, but as the above indicates, this was no normal weekend — it was an exceptional weekend.

career-high 21 points. In addition to having half of Penn’s 10 steals, Russell had 15 of her points in the first quarter, fueling the Red and Blue’s great start.

After a team-leading 14 points against Harvard, freshman Eleah Parker was a little quieter against the Big Green, scoring just nine

That sentiment holds true especially for the women’s track and field team, which won the Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championships for the first time since 1996 behind long-distance runner Abby Hong.

Dubbed the “distance queen” by Penn Athletics, Hong concluded the weekend by dominating the 5000-meter race after winning the 3000m earlier in the weekend.

The senior also obliterated the Penn track and field record in the 5000m. Her time of 16:24.46 shaved over four seconds off the previous mark to cement her place in Penn track and field lore and provide the perfect ending to the Penn women’s indoor track and field’s best weekend in 22 years.

but still tying Russell for the most points this weekend with 23.

Just one night after shooting a dismal 34 percent from the floor and committing 15 turnovers in Cambridge, Mass., Penn made half of their field goals against Dartmouth while also cutting their turnovers down to 12.

getting anxious. The crowd was rallying for the Quakers, but another score by the Blue Jays with four minutes left put them ahead, 11-10.

As the clock ticked down, the pressure was on. However, the Quakers did not waver and tied it up yet again to ensure themselves a chance in the game from a free position shot by senior Caroline Cummings.

Following a turnover by John Hopkins, Penn had the ball downfield with one minute left.

That’s when Belodeau stepped up and scored the crucial gamewinning goal off a Cummings pass to give the Quakers the heart-stopping 12-11 win.

One of the program’s biggest

takeaways from the first two games is how much of an impact player Belodeau has been as a freshman. The rookie has managed to make her mark in the lineup immediately, leading the team with eight points.

“I mean, I have my shaky moments, but we have the team to back us up, so it’s really exciting,” she said. “I look forward to the high competition that we’re going to face.”

With the win under their belts, the Quakers have a lot to look forward to this upcoming season. Having been shocked in the first round of last season’s NCAA Tournament, Penn is motivated to compete for a lot more than its 11th conference title in the last 12 seasons.

“We have high goals you know, we want to win the Ivy

League, we want to win the Ivy Championship, we want to go deep into the NCAA tournament” coach Karin Corbett said.

The team’s drive and passion this season is what makes them a force to be reckoned with. With Belodeau and fellow rookies Abby Bosco and Laura Crawford joining the strong returning cast from last season, Penn is confident that its arsenal of talent can carry it far.

“We have a lot more fire power,” Corbett said. “[We have] a lot more kids who can put the ball in the net.”

Penn’s schedule of strong opponents will only continue next week. The Quakers’ next foe will be Big 10 opponent Rutgers on Wednesday at 6:30pm on Franklin Field.

similar to Penn’s 13-6 defeat at No. 3 Maryland on Wednesday — but Saturday was different.

“That is the biggest takeaway of the game for us,” coach Mike Murphy said. “Down 7-3, down 9-6 — we showed the resilience to keep fighting.”

With six seconds left in the half, Goldner created end-of-the-period magic again with a goal to bring the score to 7-4 heading into halftime. Though Duke was winning at the break, there was one huge positive for the Quakers — faceoff man Chris Santangelo had went 5 for 7 in the second period on faceoffs, and his continued success would be the x-factor in the game.

“Chris Santangelo winning faceoffs was big because we had not won the faceoff battle in our last two games,” said coach Murphy.

“For us to be able to get a stop or two, score, and get the ball back is very important.”

The third quarter only saw one combined goal from both teams, which was Goldner’s third one of the game, but it was obvious the Quakers looked better than they had in the first half. After being outshot 22-11 in the first half, Penn outshot Duke 8-7 in the third quarter. What was said in the locker room that inspired this change?

“We just talked about not beating ourselves,” said senior Kevin McGeary. “In the first half we had a lot of turnovers; we were giving them extra possessions despite winning faceoffs. In the second half we managed to limit those turnovers and won a ton of faceoffs, effectively keeping the ball out of Duke’s hands.”

Still, Penn was saving the best for last.

Chris Santangelo again dominated the faceoff X in the final quarter, winning 6 of 8 attempts. Penn outshot Duke 16-3, and had its lowest turnover count in any quarter with only two.

Duke did lead 9-6 with 9:21 to go, but from there on out, it was all Penn. In a span of 4:21, the Quakers scored four goals to take a 10-9 lead over the No. 1 team in the country. McGeary sparked the comeback with a goal at the 8:21 mark, before Reilly Hupfeldt narrowed the lead to one with 7:24

remaining. After a few minutes of Penn ripping shot after shot to no avail, Simon Mathias scored the game-tying goal with 3:07 to play.

The game was tied up and the crowd at Franklin Field was roaring — momentum was clearly and fully on Penn’s side. Merely seven seconds later, at the 3:00 mark, McGeary completed his hat-trick — and eventually the monumental upset — with the game-winning goal.

“It was an awesome faceoff play,” McGeary said of the final goal. “Santangelo won it right to [Connor] Keating for the fast break, he put it right in my ear, I shot it, and it went in.”

Penn managed to hold the ball for the next couple minutes, running the clock out in an effort to preserve its narrow lead. However, Duke would get a final chance — with 28 seconds left, Duke held the ball and called a timeout to set up a final play.

“If they had some magic play, they are not waiting until 28 seconds left in the game to call it, they are going to use it earlier on,” coach Murphy said of his thoughts during the final huddle. “They were working with the same people and plays they had been all game long, so we just reminded our guys of the fundamentals that worked earlier, and thankfully it worked that last possession.”

Work it did — Duke lost the ball and was unable to come up with a real shot attempt at the end.

It is a momentous occasion for Penn men’s lacrosse, but it is still early February, and there are a lot of games left to be played, including a full Ivy League slate that is always a challenge. So where do Penn’s early season results leave the team?

“I don’t know — I’m wondering the same thing,” said coach Murphy. “I think it is too early [to judge].”

Penn’s next game will come against Penn State, which upset last year’s Quakers after the team had scored a similar upset win over No. 6 Virginia.

But in the meantime, the Red and Blue will take their time to celebrate this one.

With a thrilling comeback, a rowdy home crowd, and an upset for the ages, this victory will undoubtedly be one to remember forever in program lore.

12 11

In a nail-biting back-andforth game against No. 22 Johns Hopkins women’s lacrosse team this Saturday, it was a freshman that boosted the Quakers to victory.

Fresh off a stellar college debut with one goal and three assists, freshman Zoe Belo-

deau took it to an even further level on Saturday. The rookie led Penn with four goals, including one to break a tie with only 52 seconds left, carrying the Red and Blue to a wild 1211 win.

The Red and Blue’s speed was crucial in the battle against the Blue Jays (3-1) on a rainy afternoon. With standout performances from Belodeau, senior captain Alex Condon, and sophomore Erin Barry, the Quakers (2-0) had their all-stars in and ready for action.

But the whole way, Johns Hopkins pushed back against the Quakers defensively, never quitting in a game that fea-

tured five lead changes.

“Johns Hopkins is a very scrappy team,” Belodeau said.

“They’re really aggressive on ground balls, on backing up shots. They drive really hard to goal.”

With seven minutes left in the game, it was Condon who scored her second goal of the day to break the tie and give the Quakers a 10-9 lead. The match was far from over, however, as Johns Hopkins’ Nicole DeMace scored to tie it up just two minutes later.

Tensions on both sides were rising in the later minutes, with everyone in the stands SEE W. LACROSSE PAGE 11

This weekend was a tale of two teams.

One night after losing a heartbreaker to Harvard, Penn women’s basketball recovered to end its weekend in New England on a high note, lighting up the floor against Dartmouth and cruising to a comfortable 79-50 win Saturday night in Hanover, N.H. The win punched the Quakers’ ticket to the Ivy League Tournament and provided a stark contrast to Friday night’s 55-52 loss to the Crimson (169, 8-4 Ivy), as Penn (18-7, 9-3) played like a completely different squad against the Big Green (14-11, 6-6).

Saturday’s game was the total team effort that Penn was lacking on Friday, as 11 players made it onto the scoresheet against Dartmouth compared to just seven the night before.

On Friday night, Harvard ruled the first half. The Crimson stretched their lead to as many as 15 points in the first half before Penn got going on offense. A dominant 16-0 run which lasted over nine minutes on both sides

of the halftime break rocketed the Quakers into a 32-31 lead with 6:10 remaining in the third quarter.

It was back and forth for much of the second half, with the teams deadlocked at 41 entering the fourth quarter. However, the Red and Blue were held scoreless for six of the game’s final eight minutes, allowing Harvard to pull away down the stretch.

In the final two minutes, Penn was able to pull within three points twice, but it could not find the baskets to eke out the win.

Saturday night, however, was a different story.

From the start, it was all Penn.

The Quakers raced out to a 20-2 advantage over Dartmouth in the game’s first eight minutes and never looked back, steadily increasing their lead over the course of four quarters.

Strong play on both sides of the ball allowed the Quakers to sail into the halftime break up 45-20, nearly matching its point total on Friday with the second half still to play.
