Drexel’s planned expansion Drexel’s current campus Penn’s current campus

Drexel expands its campus toward Penn’s CHARLOTTE LARACY Staff Reporter

In a landmark move, Drexel University President John Fry announced a 14-acre, $3.5 billion planned expansion that will make

Drexel’s campus extend farther along the border of the Schuylkill River. This massive expansion will be called Schuylkill Yards and plans to be a market-oriented district with goals of equity and inclusion within the West Philadelphia community. Schuylk ill Ya rds will

transform a group of parking lots and industrial buildings between Drexel’s campus and 30th Street Station into a dense new addition to University City. Planners aim to have offices make up around 55 percent of the project’s new real estate, with the rest going to housing, hotels, shops, laboratories and other uses.

As of now, the plan aims to break ground before the end of 2016 on a park outside of 30th Street Station. Work on the first new construction project — a tower of labs and offices at the northeast corner of 31st Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard — could start by early 2018. The expansion is estimated to be

completed in 20 years. Despite a growing music and culture scene, Philadelphia has been plagued by poverty. It has the highest poverty rate among America’s 10 biggest cities, according to an October 2015 article from The Philadelphia Inquirer. John Puckett, professor in the Graduate School of Education

and co-author of the new history book “Becoming Penn,” said University City has become a boomtown — which benefits Penn and neighboring businesses — but the future of continued partnerships between the community and its major universities is unclear. SEE DREXEL PAGE 8

Trump, Clinton big winners on March 15 as Rubio drops out

Flyering on Locust requires courage and persistence

The Florida senator fell victim to Trump’s political momentum

Handing out fliers makes clubs’ marketing personal

LUIS FERRE SADURNI & NICOLE RUBIN Staff Reporters

REBECCA TAN Contributing Reporter

On Tuesday night, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) suspended his presidential campaign, 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump edged closer to the Republican nomination despite a loss in Ohio and Hillary Clinton beat back challenger Bernie Sanders. In other words, another crazy day in the 2016 presidential campaign. The Daily Pennsylvanian caught up with campus political groups to Kasich and Rubio supporters rejoice at Penn: By 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Trump won three out of the five states and one territory in what many political pundits have called the second most important night of the primary season after Super Tuesday. The New York real estate mogul took home the majority of delegates in the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida, Illinois and North Carolina, placing him closer to the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination. Across the country, 358 delegates were at stake on the Republican side. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) had not won any states by press time, but was nearly tied with Trump in Missouri and in second place in Illinois and North

Most Penn students know what it is like to pass through Locust Walk and have flyers pushed in their direction. Fewer know what it is like to be on the other side, keeping up a big smile despite one rejection after another. For many performing arts clubs at Penn, flyering is a standard, though challenging feature of their marketing efforts. Wharton junior Brendan

McManus, who is a member of Penn Masala, says that flyering can be frustrating for his club because people on Locust are not generally interested in the Hindi-English fusion a capella that they perform. “It’s difficult because we are trying to get random people interested in what is quite a niche show,” he said.

Penn fire chief wins national award MERT founder chosen from over 100 advisors

JAMIE BRENSILBER Staff Reporter

When Eugene Janda , Penn Chief of Fire and Emergency Services, first arrived at Penn 16 years ago, he did not realize what a difference he would make in the community or expect that he would help found the University’s first Medical Emergency Response Team. On Feb. 27, he received the Collegiate EMS Advisor of the Year Award at the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation’s annual conference. MERT nominated Chief Janda for the award this year. Hannah Peifer, a College junior and the Chief of MERT, has known Chief Janda since she joined MERT in October of 2013. “He’s very hands-on,” Peifer said. “He sits there alongside us.” Peifer explained that Janda was instrumental in the founding of MERT. The group was originally proposed in 2003 but faced pushback from administration at the time, Peifer said. Janda worked with some of the founding members for the next three years, and the administration agreed to a nine-month pilot program starting in 2006. Ten years later, MERT is preparing to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. “He’s been with MERT from

the beginning, before it even started,” Peifer said. On Feb. 27, Janda accepted the award on behalf of all of the Division of Public Safety. “My name might be on the award, but the people at DPS were instrumental in actually making MERT start to operate,” Janda said. Janda cited Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush, the late Dr. Evelyn Wiener, former executive director of Student Health Services and Joseph Tierney at the Robert A. Fox Leadership Program as instrumental in working with the upper administration at Penn to get MERT approved 10 years ago. This September, when the Pope visited Philadelphia, MERT helped cover the event on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Janda himself served as an EMS alongside MERT at the event, even riding a bike. “MERT helped me out a lot in refreshing my memory in the correct ways to help patients,” Janda said, noting that MERT

helped prepare him with the most up-to-date technology. Because of his dedication to the organization, MERT nominated Chief Janda for the award. Rush said that MERT surprised Janda with the award. “One of the main reasons Chief Janda stands out ... [is that] he is enthusiastically by their side and a major supporter,” Rush said. Every year, the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation holds a conference where different student emergency medical services groups attend lectures and interact. At the end, an awards ceremony is held. This past year, over 100 Collegiate EMS advisors attended the event, and Chief Janda was chosen from all of these as the Collegiate EMS Advisor of the Year. Peifer described Janda as the advisor most of the 53 active members of MERT would know, recognize and feel comfortable approaching. “He’s a proud father figure,” she said.

Carolina. While Rubio’s final attempt to maintain his bid for the nomination was unsuccessful, Ohio Gov. John Kasich — the GOP’s now last remaining establishment candidate — managed to sneak a win past Trump in the competitive Ohio primary. Kasich’s victory gave the governor his first state in the primaries thus far and its 66 delegates. “At one level [Rubio dropping out] is good because the non-Trump vote will be more concentrated now, which gives Kasich and Cruz more of a chance to win states,” Penn College Republicans President and Wharton and College junior Jennifer Knesbach said. “Kasich’s win is obviously huge to keeping him in the race and I think that at the current rate it is going to be at least a brokered convention.” The Ohio moderate — who won the Penn Caucuses held by the Government and Politics Association on Feb. 2 and was officially endorsed by The Daily Pennsylvanian’s Opinion Board on Monday — had his Penn supporters ecstatic yesterday. “Now that Rubio has suspended his campaign and Kasich has won a major state, people are starting to realign and to look at Kasich as a candidate that has a platform,” Chair of Penn for Kasich and College junior Joe Kiernan said. “He is willing to work across the aisle, he can do well among Republicans, Democrats and Independents after the primaries, and he also ended up winning by 13 points. I think people are starting to realize that Kasich is a great option,” Kiernan added. Kasich and Trump both will campaign in Pennsylvania tomorrow. Trump will be in Lower

Bucks County in the evening and Kasich will appear at a town hall at Villanova University. It is unclear whether Rubio dropping out will affect the status of College sophomore Nathaniel Rome’s petition to remove Kasich from the Pennsylvania ballot. Rome, the Chair of Pennsylvania Students for Rubio, filed a challenge on Feb. 23 that accused Kasich of failing to meet the required 2,000 signatures threshold. Numerous signatures were invalid, Rome claimed. “We’ll have to wait and see,” Kasich’s attorney Lawrence Otter said when contacted on Wednesday night about the status of the lawsuit. Rome’s attorney John G. Bravacos, who did not respond to a phone call on Tuesday, must submit his response brief on Wednesday. While the Rubio camp at Penn was disappointed to see the Florida senator suspend his campaign, Penn for Rubio expressed its support for Kasich and didn’t rule out the possibility of seeing Rubio again in a brokered Republican convention. “I think that it’s good, politically, for Rubio to drop out,” Penn for Rubio member and College sophomore Makayla Reynolds said. “It’s definitely a little sad to see coming from where he began and where it is ending. I think that as a member of the Republican party I am hoping for Kasich to step up and take some lead and get more delegates.” Hillary Clinton Soars on Democratic Side: In one of the most decisive primary days of this election, Hillary Clinton came out on top in the Democratic primaries, winning at least four states to Bernie Sanders’ zero at press time. Clinton won Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio and had a lead in Missouri at press time.

“I do think she’ll be the nominee [but] I don’t think it’s any kind of inevitable,” Penn Democrats President and College junior Max Levy said. “I think it’s going to be a long fight regardless of what happens tonight, but I think that when we hit the convention in July we’re going to be nominating Hillary Clinton as our candidate.” Clinton was recently endorsed by Penn Dems and, along with Kasich, was given the nod by the DP’s Opinion Board on Monday. March 15 was originally seen as the final push forward for Clinton, but after Sanders’ surprising upset in Michigan where she was highly favored, he received a jolt of momentum. That made the results from the Midwestern states even more pressing. Clinton’s win in the Midwestern states could show crossover support from the younger, white voters who tend to be Sanders’ strongest supporters. Clinton tends to gain support mainly from older voters. That doesn’t mean that Bernie Sanders is down for the count. “He absolutely has funding to stand this race and that he is passionate enough that he’s not about to get out of this race just as he gets behind in the delegate count,” Levy said. With a seemingly inevitable Trump nomination, the looming question is which candidate can beat him on the national level. Levy was confident the Democrats can pull out a win. “I think both candidates honestly would be able to just pummel Trump with the offensive things he’s said over the course of this campaign and that at this point Trump has just said such horrendous things that Democrats should be in a pretty good place come November,” he said.

Penn students travel the world The offered courses feature Galapagos and Thailand ERIC LEI Contributing Reporter

Penn Global is providing the opportunity to live as a monk next semester. Penn Global recently announced the launch of the Global Seminars Program, in which students study a subject in a seminar and then travel abroad. The aim of this initiative is to further the understanding of concepts taught in the classroom through direct experience. This coming fall, two seminars will be offered — one on evolutionary biology and the other on monastic living. Philosophy professor Michael Weisberg will lead a course on the history and significance of evolution in the Galapagos. Students can expect to learn about the history of evolutionary theory, starting from Aristotle, going through Darwin and up to the present. A primary focus of the course

will be how the conceptual challenges and theoretical debates within evolutionary biology relate to the Galapagos. Over winter brea k, students will spend a week with Weisberg on a boat surveying the Galapagos, making observations on the wildlife and contextualizing the ideas learned in class. “From sunrise to sunset, we are going to be hiking on the water looking at things... with two naturalists guiding and teaching us the whole time,” Weisberg said. “In class if we study adaptation then eight or nine times during the trip we will see and talk about it. It is basically going to be 24 hours of class for a week.” The other seminar, led by Religious Studies professor Justin McDaniel, will have students take part in an ascetic lifestyle. Each participant will have to commit fully to monastic rules, including restrictions on dress, technology, food and verbal communication. As the course progresses, these restrictions will increase, ranging

from writing in a journal every half hour to a month of silence, McDaniel said. The idea is that students will experience the same struggles as nuns, monks and other monastic figures in order to increase self-awareness about the monastic life, McDaniel added . “One of the things this experience helps with is increasing attention to how much time you spend in idle communication or self-serving conversation,” McDaniel said. “For instance, students often say that they learn from others, but most of the time they speak for others.”

At the end of the course, students will travel with the professor to Thailand to meet with renowned monastics and experience monastic life firsthand. For Wharton junior Pierson Devers , the seminar provides an invaluable opportunity to experiment with new lifestyle choices. “ T here won’t be ma ny chances to try completely disassociating from technology and talking,” Devers said. “To be able to have an excuse to do that would be life changing.”

Prof. explores the psychology of creativity

Penn students thrive after taking gap year

‘Wired to Create’ explores creativity in a new way

Resources are offered to help ease the transition

SHOBA BABU Staff Reporter

The mental clockwork allowing the Picassos, Mozarts and Einsteins of the world to create, imagine and dream has long been shrouded in mystery — until now. Positive Psychology professor Scott Barry Kaufman recently released a book called “Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind.” The book explores the cognitive psychology of creativity and the practices of creative people — topics that are intrinsically connected to Kaufman. Apart from teaching psychology and directing Penn’s Positive Psychology Center’s Science of Imagination Project, he is a gifted cellist, opera singer and hip-hop dancer. In his book, he mentions that society has a habit — although sometimes unintentional — of penalizing creative people and looking at them as trouble-makers because of their nonconformist nature. He emphasizes the importance of creating a fostering environment where creativity can grow — especially in schools. He said that one of the book’s most profound ideas that the public may not have thought about before is that creativity is multifaceted. “A lot of people think in terms of dichotomies — like you’re either extraverted or introverted, or you’re either sensitive or tough or you’re mindful or a

Students who take time off between high school and college are less likely to graduate on time, according to a recent Drexel study. The study, which followed the paths of more than 9,000 Philadelphia high school students over 12 years, found that delayed enrollment after graduation dropped the graduation rate from 46 to 15 percent. Although the success rate was higher at private, four-year institutions like Penn, students in the study with delayed enrollment still struggled compared to their peers. Many students at Penn take voluntary gap years to travel or participate in an alternative program, but some may find themselves delaying entrance to college unwillingly. While the return to an academic lifestyle may be difficult, jobs or volunteer work done during their time away from school can help students once they reach college. “I think it would depend on what was going on during [a gap] year,” said Myrna Cohen, Executive Director of the Weingarten Learning Resources Center. “Time management could be a challenge, but if the student was working during that year they would have to have an alarm clock and fit to a schedule, and that actually might have been a learning experience that would

Holleran bill passes in N.J. senate The suicide prevention act is in honor of former student SYDNEY SCHAEDEL Deputy News Editor

A college suicide prevention bill in memory of College student Madison Holleran has unanimously passed in the New Jersey state Senate. Holleran, a Bergen County, New Jersey native, was a freshman and a runner on the track team when she committed suicide in Center City on Jan. 17, 2014. Her death received national media attention. The Madison Holleran Suicide Prevention Act requires mental health professionals to be available

seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to assist students in crisis at colleges and universities in New Jersey. The bill also includes provisions for informing students about these resources at least 15 days before each semester. N.J. Senator Kevin O’Toole (District 40), who sponsored the bill, announced that it had passed on Monday. According to a press release from his office, 72 percent of youth suicides in New Jersey were committed by college-age young adults. Nationwide, it is the second most common cause of death for college students, according to the American Psychological Association. Even though the New Jersey bill won’t affect Penn, the death of

Holleran and nine other students at Penn in the last three years have prompted Penn’s administration to take action. A mental health task force was formed to improve mental health resources and student accessibility. So far, a 24/7

help line has been established, and the “Thrive at Penn” module, which covers wellness, alcohol, drugs and sexual violence, has been made mandatory for all freshmen and upperclassmen.

play into better time management skills.” The Weingarten Center offers several resources for students entering Penn — including students who have taken gap years — such as group workshops and meetings with individual learning instructors. And some students find that after they take gap years, they are better equipped for some aspects of college life. “To an extent, I think I had a leg up; I had already grown accustomed to living on my own during my gap year,” College junior Talia Beck said. Beck deferred enrollment for a year to study and volunteer in Israel through the Jewish college leadership program Nativ. “In high school … I had a lot of both academic and extracurricular work to handle, and I just kind of wanted to do something different,” she said.

Engineering junior Rachel Shaw, who also took a gap year in Israel to study and do volunteer work, had similarly positive thoughts on her year away from school. “It let me have the first-yearaway-from-home experience … in a lower-stress, more-freedom environment, I think,” she said. “Yes, I had classes, I had responsibilities, but it was also — I had a ton of time to sit and talk with these people that were very, very different than I was.” Both Beck and Shaw said that they experienced some difficulty upon entering Penn and returning to the academic lifestyle, but not more than their peers. “I’m not sure that, academically, the shock was anything more than it would have been otherwise,” Shaw said. “I think I still would have been slammed the first semester.”

I go to Penn, so obviously I am freaking out about what I am going to do this summer. It is already midMarch and I do not have clear plans for June, so obviously I am already behind where I am supposed to be. I have applied to several internships and jobs, carefully tweaking and perfecting my embarrassingly short resume weekly to make myself look as hireable as possible. I mean, God forbid I don’t get an internship and have to go home this summer ... right? I feel like everywhere I go now, all I hear is people talking about summer plans. Wharton students complaining about the struggles of OCR, kids in class discussing all the places they have applied for this summer, girls at Starbucks discussing plans to backpack across Europe and my own friends freaking out about not know-

ing what they will be doing in three months’ time. This discussion of summer plans seems ubiquitous and omnipresent on our Penn campus at the moment, and honestly it is not surprising. At this point, I feel we are all aware of the culture that our school supports — and actually creates — amongst the student body. A culture of uber-competitiveness, a culture of nonstop drive, with the sole purpose of succeeding in a competitive environment. A culture telling us we must take every possible opportunity available to us now, or we will be left behind when push comes to shove a few years down the line. This overpowering success-based culture creates this need to use summer vacation as a way to gain experiences that will keep us on track to succeed in the future, but in all honesty I kind of just want to

Furthermore, everyone is different, has different pasts and different goals for the future that affect how they decide to do everything, including how they spend their summers. Penn students as a whole are held to extremely high and taxing expectations. Going to one of the best schools in the world comes with expectations of success and greatness, but these expectations overwhelm its students and create a culture of non-stop self marketing, networking, working and anxiety. Penn’s culture holds students to an expectation of using all available time to become a more marketable employee in the future. It turns a summer break into allotted work time. It forces students like myself who want — and honestly need

Last week, The Harvard Crimson published an article by student Ian Mullane titled “The Privileged Liberal.” The piece is a quite vicious attack against students of wealthy or “privileged” backgrounds who happen to identify as liberal, a stance which Mullane believes is hypocritical. He sums up his argument best when he asks, “Why is it, however, that the children of the nation’s elite seem to have such disdain for the very system [capitalism] that, whether or not they’d like to admit, grants them many of the luxuries they enjoy?” Mullane certainly makes an interesting case, but from the beginning it becomes obvious that much of his disdain for the so-called “privileged liberals” comes from the fact that they, he claims, think they know how to alleviate poverty in America without ever having been subject to this poverty. By arguing this, Mullane seems to insinuate that people should only be allowed to have political beliefs according to their economic status. If you’re poor, you can be a lib-

eral; if you’re rich, you can’t. First, Mullane should be reminded that, believe it or not, the United States is not a completely capitalist country. It sounds pretty insane, I know, but the United States does not have what an economist would deem “full economic freedom.” A purely capitalist society would have almost no regulation and taxes, no subsidies and bailouts and a government that pumps almost no money into its economic system. Yet, local, state and federal government expenditures amounted to 39 percent of gross domestic product in the United States last year, and taxes, subsidies and regulations have been a mainstay in America since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. Considering that America has not been fully capitalist for well over a hundred years, Mullane’s assertion that liberal students have disdain for the system that gave them their wealth in the first place is absolutely absurd. Despite the surging popularity of Ber-

nie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, not all liberals at Harvard or Penn or any other college in America are Marx-worshipping communists. Most liberals in this country want a capitalist system with some socialist policies, such as government regulations on business, that have been implemented many

benefited from capitalism ought to defend it, then those who have suffered at the hands of capitalism ought to attack it, simply based on Mullane’s logic. Yet, in this country, many citizens who earn less than $50,000 a year tend to vote conservative. Of the 10 states with the lowest median income in 2008, nine of them

On top of that, if wealthy liberals are hypocritical according to Mullane, poor conservatives must surely be as well, right? If those who have

supported John McCain. Mullane probably could have written a similar article focusing on why poor people tend to vote for conservatives, but that probably wouldn’t have fit his agenda. Finally, Mullane doesn’t seem to understand that people don’t choose their politics

simply for themselves. Based on the assumption that all human beings are greedy and only care about themselves, then maybe those who are already in the 1 Percent should support policies to make themselves even richer, such as tax breaks and a trickledown economic platform. It is, however, indeed possible for people to be extremely wealthy and want others who are less fortunate in this country to succeed. Just because someone supports a policy that would theoretically benefit those in a different economic class, such as increased welfare, it doesn’t mean that the person is committing treason on their own party. We don’t owe our own economic classes anything; in fact, it might even be better to care for those different than ourselves. We know that there are Penn students who are the children of millionaires and billionaires, and we know that there are students who rely on financial aid to be here. But we are intelligent enough to

ALESSANDRO VAN DEN BRINK formulate our own personal opinions on which politics to subscribe to, be it liberal, conservative or somewhere in the middle. We are not obligated to support systems just based on the color of our skin, our sexuality and our financial well-being, and don’t let someone like Ian Mullane tell you so in the first place. ALESSANDRO VAN DEN BRINK is a College sophomore from New York, studying economics. His email address is alevan@sas.upenn.edu. “Small Talk” usually appears every other Wednesday.

a neighborhood. Currently, it is mainly a parking lot and some Drexel office buildings. Drexel has also worked with Brandywine Realty Trust to ensure the local communities partake in the development’s economic opportunities. Puckett said Drexel’s expansion bears many similarities to Penn’s previous projects, such as improving retail development, providing upscale student housing and making commitments to school development. “John Fry cut his teeth at Penn. This is where he learned the game,” Puckett said. With new businesses in the area, apartments and housing in areas such as Powelton Village could become more expensive. This could result in a more racially, ethnically and economically homogenous neighborhood. Hillier said this could be beneficial if jobs were given to locals and if a public school is built there that serves a broad range of kids from diverse economic backgrounds. “The opportunities that Penn missed that I hope Drexel will not, are to make sure to help create permanent affordable housing for low and middle income families,” she said. “There needs to be an opportunity for families to stay in these communities that have sometimes been there for generations, especially as they gentrify.”

innings in a 3-2 nailbiter over North Florida. “I think maybe the first couple of games out, some of those freshmen were a little nervous or jittery, but as the week wore on they settled in a little bit more,” Yurkow said. “They seemed to play as if they belonged on the field.” While Penn’s 2-6 record from its trip to Florida might seem like a cause for unrest, the team’s vast youth combined with its recent history should give Yurkow and his staff a bit of relief. In 2014 and 2015, the Quakers’ records

were 0-6 and 1-7, respectively, at the end of those years’ spring breaks, and Penn went on to post a combined 31-9 regular season conference record in those two campaigns. “I don’t see it [as us having to take a step back] — I made a joke to some of the older guys like ‘Well, I guess it’s time to flip the switch,’ because that’s what we’ve done these last two years,” Yurkow said. “Now, we did that with older teams, so we’ll have to see if our younger guys can follow suit, but I’m okay with where we’re at right now. I’m not the type of person who’s going to hit the panic button just because we struggled early. ... I like our talent level, so it’ll be interesting to see where things to over these next few weeks heading into league play.” As for once league play begins, the objective for the Red and Blue is quite clear. “The goal is to beat Columbia,” Nelson said. “We don’t want to need that one-game playoff again.”

on the board. “We’re not gonna hit home runs the way we have in the last couple years, that’s just not gonna happen, that’s not how our roster is made up,” Penn coach John Yurkow said. “So we’re gong to have to be more creative, have to walk a little more, take some pitches.” “We’re going to have to manufacture runs a bit differently,” senior Gary Tesch agreed. “Before, it only took one swing of the bat to put a run on the table, whereas now we need multiple hits to string together.” Who, aside from Tesch, will step up to keep the offense functional? Freshman Matt Tola has had a solid start to the season, but when asked if he’s ready to fill the shoes of Montaldo, Bossart and Betbeze, he kept things in perspective. “I hear those are some huge shoes to fill,” Tola said. “I know [the Class of 2015] played a huge

role on the team and had great seasons. But I think all of us have the desire to fill those shoes and we’ve been working hard to do so. ” Penn also lost major contributors on the mound. In 2015, Ronnie Glenn led the league in wins, strikeouts and complete games, and Connor Cuff went 3-0 in his Ivy starts. But Yurkow is optimistic about his team’s chances on the mound. “I truly think by the end of this year, our pitching staff will be deeper and have better numbers than last year’s staff. I do. The talent’s there, you can see it,” Yurkow said. “We have a lot more left-handed pitching. Adam [Bleday]‘s an experienced kid, with Mike [Reitcheck] and Jake [Cousins]. Gabe Kleiman, he couldn’t pitch last year because he transferred in, but Gabe’s throwing rather well for us early. We have some experience in the bullpen, which is nice. We have two hard throwers with [Jake] Nelson and [Billy] Lescher, we really haven’t had that in the

past.” Reticheck led the Ivy League last season with a 1.23 ERA, and Cousins wasn’t far behind with a 1.83 mark, so Yurkow certainly has reason to believe the two juniors can shoulder the load as the aces of the staff. As for the offense, it might be a bit of a struggle, at least at the beginning. “It’s a lot easier when you have position players who have done it for three years, and they come back in the fall, they know the system,” Yurkow said. “Whereas now you’re doing a lot of initial, first step, really trying to take it down and build a strong foundation.” But Yurkow doesn’t have many of those fourth-year veterans, and he knows it. To avenge two seasons’ worth of heartbreak at the hands of Columbia, Penn will need production from several players with fewer than two seasons’ worth of experience. “We’re gonna have to win with our younger players this year. It’s just how the roster’s made up.”

In 2015, Quakers fell a game short of division title Red and Blue lost onegame playoff to Lions NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

Opening play in 2015, the Quakers headed south — in more ways than one. Playing eight games in Florida and Virginia, coach John Yurkow’s squad got things started with a 1-7 record, and it briefly didn’t look like things would be getting any better. Back home, the Red and Blue fell in the first contest they hosted, 9-4, to Villanova. And then things started to change. They wouldn’t lose much more after that, taking 11 of the next 12 and eventually storming to a 12-2 start to Ivy League play. It soon became apparent where things were heading. With a pair of four-game series left against Princeton and Columbia, it seemed inevitable that the road to the Ivy League Championship Series would again lead to a direct collision with the Lions. And inevitable it was. After sweeping the Tigers at home by an average of four runs per contest, all eyes turned to the Gehrig Division’s top two teams. Both entered the four-game set with a 16-2 conference record. In

YURKOW >> PAGE 12

Nothing, of course, gets young players — especially hitters — adjusted to the college game quite like real, in-game action. Thus, Yurkow has been satisfied with the youngsters’ production this season despite the team’s quiet start to 2016. “There’s just a lack of experience. They just haven’t seen it,� Yurkow said. “These are kids that are 18 years old, it’s their first time seeing Division I pitching. ... You just have to throw ‘em out there and let ‘em go, man.� That is not to say that the team’s youngsters haven’t been productive in the early going — freshman second baseman Matt Tola has started all eight of the

Catcher Austin Bossart led Penn baseball through the 2015 campaign — starting every game for his squad — and capped off his senior year when he was taken in the 14th round of the MLB draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, making him the program’s highest draft pick since 2007.

order to win the division, someone was going to have to take three of the four games. The first two took place in New York, and they were both close affairs. Penn snagged the first one,

4-3, thanks to a complete game from then-senior pitcher Ronnie Glenn. For the second end of the doubleheader, however, the Quakers couldn’t plate a run, falling, 1-0.

team’s contests and leads the team with a .429 average and a .571 slugging percentage. Meanwhile, Matt O’Neill has emerged as the squad’s primary catcher, a position that junior Tim Graul was originally supposed to occupy. As Yurkow leads the program though its evolution, though, he acknowledges that he can’t simply rely on the new blood to fill the shoes of the graduated stars; the team must shift its fundamental approach in order to fit its new talents. And at the forefront of that change will be the pitching staff. “I truly think that by the end of this year, our pitching staff will be deeper and have better numbers than our staff last year,� Yurkow said, citing juniors Adam Bleday and Gabe Kleiman as possible

breakout players. “The talent is there, you can see it.� So, though this squad is unlikely to win the 16 conference games it did a year ago, there is certainly plenty of evidence that the team is reloaded for another season in contention. And if the Quakers are to succeed in 2016, they will do so with a team that led by young, breakout stars willing to shift their approach to match their talents. As for Yurkow, he has shown that he can win when fueled by the leadership of established veterans. Now, he will get to compete with a squad that is undeniably covered in his fingerprints. In other words, if and when Yurkow eventually captures that elusive Ivy title, he will do it with a roster that is distinctly his.

All they needed now was to win the season’s final contest to move on to the Ivy League Championship Series, to be played against Rolfe Division-winning Dartmouth. It was not to be. After falling behind, 3-0, in the first inning, Penn tied things up at 4-all and eventually forced extra innings with the game knotted at 6-6. In the top of the 10th, however, sophomore Mitchell Hammonds surrendered a pair of runs and the Quakers couldn’t respond. For the second year in a row, Penn and Columbia would meet for a onegame playoff to determine the fate of the Gehrig Division. Much like 2014, the Lions got the last laugh. Playing again in New York, the Red and Blue tied the game at 2-2 before solo shots in the seventh and eighth innings secured a 4-2 win and a division title for Columbia. With that loss, the careers of 10 of the Quakers’ leaders on and off the field drew to a close. Austin Bossart, the catcher whose .358 batting average led the team, was drafted in the 14th of the MLB draft by the Philadelphia Phillies.

Penn baseball kicked off its season with a trip to Florida over Spring Break, going 2-6 over the eight-game stretch. The season got off to an ugly start with a 17-5 loss to North Florida in Jacksonville. Jake Cousins gave up 10 runs (three earned) as a two-out error in the first inning opened the door for a monster frame punctuated by a grand slam. “We definitely didn’t perform up to the standards of what we all wanted to do,” Cousins said. “We were all confident going down there, and the first game didn’t go well, not hitting the ball, making a couple defensive mistakes, I wasn’t making pitches, it was a combination of things.” The Quakers kept it close in the second game, but fell to UNF once again, this time by a score of 5-3. Mike Reitcheck gave up four runs (two earned). Senior Gary Tesch and junior Tim Graul each had three hits. “We have a couple things we need to figure out, but I am confident because there were a lot of glimpses of us potentially being really good,” Tesch said. “The past few years we’ve struggled in spring break and we’ve come back and turned it around, so I’m confident in us doing that again.” Penn got in the win column in their third game, finally getting the best of UNF with a 3-2 win. Gabe Kleiman pitched six strong innings, allowing two

runs, before freshman Jake Nelson tossed three scoreless frames. The team was down 2-1 in the eighth when Ryan Mincher’s two-run single gave the Quakers a lead they would not relinquish. “I think maybe first couple games out, some of those freshmen were a little nervous, a little jittery,” Penn coach John Yurkow said. “As the week wore on, they settled in a bit more.” The Red and Blue made it two in a row with a 4-3 victory over Holy Cross. Freshmen Matt O’Neill and Matt Tola each had three hits, and senior Jonah Campbell provided the end-ofgame heroics with a walkoff single in the 10th. Adam Bleday allowed two runs (one earned) in six innings, and sophomore Billy Lescher pitched 2 1/3 perfect innings in relief. “I felt good. I got some decent innings. I give it to my defense for always playing defense behind me and putting up runs while I’m pitching,” Bleday said. Holy Cross struck back in the next game, beating Penn 5-3. Graul had another three-hit game, but the Quakers left 12 men on base. Andrew Burnick allowed three runs in three innings, before the Quakers got another strong relief outing with 2 2/3 hitless frames from Jack Hartman. Penn fell once again in their sixth game, dropping the opener of their series with Georgetown, 4 -2. Cousins bounced back with a stable outing, allowing three runs in 5 1/3 frames, before Nelson posted another solid line with 2

2/3 scoreless innings. Tola had three hits to lead the offense. T he Q ua ker s st r uggle d mightily in their next game, losing 9-1 against Georgetown. Reitcheck allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings and the offense mustered just four hits. Penn finished its trip with an 11-6 loss to Georgetown as Kleiman, Bleday and Lescher all struggled on the mound. Tesch was a bright spot with three hits and three runs scored. Yurkow was ejected from the game for arguing with the umpires. “It’s funny, that’s my first time I’ve gotten thrown out of a game as head coach. I was thrown out a few times as an assistant,” Yurkow said. “You never wanna get thrown out of a game, maybe my emotions got the best of me a bit, it’s part of the game. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again. It’s one of those things where I was hoping maybe the guys would get fired up after I did it, we put a rally together but then we gave it back. So hopefully it won’t happen again. I don’t wanna make a habit of it.” Penn played the final five games of its trip at the New York Mets’ spring training complex at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie. “It was awesome,” Yurkow said of the experience. “What a tremendous opportunity for our guys, just to be in that setting.” “It was unbelievable,” Tola added. “We were really lucky to be able to do that. It was quite an experience. The field was beautiful. We got to see a lot of big league players around. It was something special.”

BASEBALL ISSUE THIRD TIME’S THE

CHARM Quakers look to take Gehrig Division title from Columbia TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor

Penn baseball is looking to change the story after falling just short at Columbia’s feet in each of the last two seasons. But

after their roster was pillaged by the University’s 2015 Commencement Ceremony, the Quakers will have to fight to avoid having their fate change for the worse. In each of the last two seasons, the Red and Blue lost in a one-game playoff to the Lions, who walked away with the Gehrig Division title and a chance to play for an Ivy League title against an inferior Rolfe Division opponent.

The Quakers took heavy losses at the plate after last season, losing several star hitters. Last year, senior Connor Betbeze led the Ivy League in hits and on-base percentage while finishing second in batting average, third in steals and walks and eighth in total bases. Mitch Montaldo led the Ancient Eight in home runs, extrabase hits and slugging percentage while

finishing second in total bases, third in doubles and RBI, and seventh in OBP. Austin Bossart finished second in doubles, third in extra-base hits, sixth in RBI and ninth in runs. But those players are all gone, and Penn will have to be resourceful to replace the runs the departed seniors had been putting SEE IVY TITLE PAGE 9 ILANA WURMAN | DESIGN EDITOR

New recruits ready to Yurkow a steady hand make up for lost seniors at the helm for Quakers

Eleven rookies look to make early impact COLE JACOBSON Associate Sports Editor

For each of Penn baseball coach John Yurkow’s first two seasons, the narrative has been eerily similar; a school record in regular season Ivy League wins, a school record in players earning All-Ivy recognition and a one-game playoff loss to eventual champion Columbia to eliminate the Quakers from conference championship contention. Consequently, with six of the team’s ten 2015 All-Ivy players having left University City, it’d be reasonable to expect Penn — which hadn’t finished above .500 in conference play since 2007 until Yurkow took over — to return to the levels of mediocrity the program experienced prior to his promotion to the head position. But Yurkow and his Quakers don’t rebuild; they reload. With a recruiting class of a staggering 11 freshmen making their Meiklejohn Stadium debuts, the Red and Blue have no plans for any drop-off, hoping that an influx of fresh talent can quickly integrate with the squad’s returning stars to carry Penn to its first conference championship since

1995. “Once Ivy league play hits, we’re going in to try to win every game,” said freshman pitcher Jake Nelson, who hasn’t given up a run yet in his brief collegiate career. “Columbia has kind of been our ‘rival’ for the last two years, and we’re going in with that in mind.” Fortunately for Yurkow’s squad, Penn’s freshman class quantity has been matched by its quality. According to Perfect Game, the group is ranked as the 84th best freshman class in NCAA Division I baseball — Penn is the only Ivy League school to crack the Top 100. Furthermore, these rankings don’t even account for a pair of transfers who have joined the starstudded rookie class. Sophomore outfielder Daniel Halevy has arrived from Houston and made an impact off the bench, hitting 3-for10 thus far in 2016. On the other side of the ball, junior pitcher Adam Bleday Jr. — who played at national finalist Virginia in 2014 before spending his sophomore year at Gulf Coast College — has seized a role in the rotation, leading the team with 11.1 innings pitched and ranking eighth in the Ivy League with 10 strikeouts. “A lot of it just had to do with replacing ten seniors,” Yurkow said. “We had a couple of kids that
