At Philadelphia’s “March for Our Lives” event on March 24, thousands of students, teachers, and other Philadelphia residents packed the march route, carrying painted signs and chanting slogans against gun violence.

Saturday’s march — with the strongest showing in Washington D.C. — was a part of the “March

for Our Lives” movement, which started on Feb. 14 following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.

Across the world, there were 800 marches planned for this one day. Along with two high school students, College senior Jana Korn organized Philadelphia’s march.

“We have a gun violence problem here — it’s not just about mass shootings — it’s about the kids in North Philly that experience it here,” Korn told The Daily Pennsylvanian. “Philly needs to stand up and have a voice on its own as well.”

This May will mark 50 years since President Donald Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania — a credential he rarely fails to mention. However, as fellow alumni book airplanes and hotels in preparation for the 50th-year reunion, it’s unclear if their most famous classmate will join them back on campus.

Recent presidents have a proud tradition of attending and hosting their school reunions while in office. In 1982, Ronald Reagan delivered the commencement speech at his alma mater, Eureka College, to commemorate his 50th reunion. In 1994, Bill Clinton attended his high school’s 30th reunion celebration in Arkansas. And in 2003, George W. Bush invited his fellow members of the Yale Class of 1968 to celebrate their 35th reunion at the White House SEE TRUMP PAGE 8

outside Independence Hall before marching through Old City to Columbus Boulevard, where politicians and students gave speeches.

The march ended around 11 a.m. but protestors stayed, continuing to chant slogans such as, “Hey Hey Ho Ho NRA has got to go,” and, “No justice, no peace, no guns in our streets.”

Wharton freshman Robbie Tromberg — who graduated last year from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, where the Parkland shooting took place — was among the thousands of marchers, wearing one of his old high school hoodies.

Tromberg said he knows of only one other Stoneman Douglas graduate currently attending Penn. He added he knows many former high school classmates who flew to the march in D.C. and many family and friends marching in Parkland.

“It was definitely a much bigger crowd than I expected,” Tromberg said. “I’m sure it’s nothing compared to the march in D.C., but just seeing everybody with all of their signs, everybody shouting and walking together, it really felt like a strong community.”

One of the Philadelphia marchers was Philadelphia resident Shakira

Fagan, who walked behind the lifesized painting she carried of her late son, Irell Williams. Fagan said that her son was 17 years old when he was killed last summer because of “senseless gun violence.”

The back of the canvas was covered with messages for Williams from family and friends. A picture of her son as a young child holding a football, basketball, and baseball glove was taped over some of the condolences.

Few protestors chanted about political parties or figures. However, many of the signs and slogans called out the National Rifle Asso-

ciation.

Clad in a purple winter jacket and a Finding Nemo hat, a young girl, who appeared to be about 7 years old, stood behind her sister in a stroller and hoisted up a sign depicting that children need lightsabers not guns.

Another elementary-school-aged girl was perched upon a relative’s shoulders, carrying a neon yellow sign that said “Choose me over a gun!”

Amid the marchers, volunteers in neon green shirts waved clipboards SEE MARCH PAGE 3

U. bans faculty from dating undergrads All sexual relations will be prohibited after March 27 REBECCA TAN Executive Editor

Penn is taking a more stringent stance against consensual sexual relations between faculty and students in a significant policy change that will go into effect March 27.

The new policy states that all sexual relations between a faculty member and an undergraduate student will be prohibited. This marks a considerable shift from the University’s previous policy, which stated that sexual relations between teachers and students were only prohibited “during the period of the teacher-student relationship.”

This update in policy does not extend to graduate students. While the University still “strongly discourages” sexual relations between graduate students and faculty members, it is not “categorically prohibited.” Rather, in keeping with the previous policy, sexual relations will only be prohibited “during the period of the faculty-student relationship.”

Provost Wendell Pritchett laid out the changes to this policy in a presentation delivered to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee earlier this month.

His announcement marked the first time since 1995 that this SEE POLICY PAGE 2

Annual QPenn week honors LGBTQ lineage The celebration kicked off with the Pride Walk GIOVANNA PAZ Deputy News Editor

Students, faculty, and staff have immersed themselves in LGBTQ culture and history throughout the week in celebration of this year’s annual QPenn.

During the annual QPenn, a cultural week organized entirely by Penn students, people attended events such as the Pride Walk, a discussion by Penn Non-Cis, and an overview of health coverage for LGBTQ individuals by the graduate student organization PennSNUGS. On Friday, people attended a Drag Show organized by QSA. The theme for the week is “Lineage,” in honor of LGBTQ history, according to College sophomore and co-chair of QPenn Gianna Ferrarin. The other co-chair of the event declined to comment because they do not yet publicly identify as LGBTQ. The celebration kicked off with the Pride Walk on Monday. Attendees gathered in front of the LGBT Center and walked to College Green as the Penn Band played various pop songs. Students and staff gathered on College Green, ordered

policy has been updated.

While this policy pertains to consensual sexual relations, Pritchett explained in an emailed statement to The Daily Pennsylvanian, that the changes are a part of the University’s efforts to update its policies around sexual harassment and sexual assault. In a schoolwide email sent on March 13, Pritchett called on all students to submit suggestions on how

pizza, and hosted an informal student mixer.

Throughout the week, many different campus organizations affiliated with the LGBTQ community hosted events.

The Lambda Alliance, QPenn, QSA, as well as groups such as J-Bagel and Wharton Alliance all hosted events.

Last week’s snowstorm postponed three events for QPenn — two of which originally scheduled for March 21 have now been set for March 28. The other — the keynote speech from Amir Ashour, an openly gay Iraqi activist — was postponed from March 20 due to travel concerns. The date for the keynote speaker event is still undecided, according to members of the QPenn board.

Ferrarin, also a reporter for The Daily Pennsylvanian, noted that the QPenn board, which began planning the events during the fall semester, had planned to have Roxane Gay as a keynote speaker but the connection fell through during planning. She mentioned the high price of more popular speakers and the growing interest in bringing in more local speakers.

This year, the QPenn board received funding from on-campus groups as well as nonprofit organizations like the Social Planning and Events Commit-

tee, Greenfield Intercultural Center, and Philadelphia Fight Community Health Centers. It also received money from the LGBT Center.

For the first time ever, QPenn posted its annual art supplement online, which is curated by students and for individuals in the LGBTQ community.

In previous years, it has been included in issues of the DP. Ferrarin said the board was inspired by other online publications that have gained visibility like the “Disorientation Guide” written by students.

College freshman Brooke Price, who is involved in Queer People of Color, attended a free tour of the LGBTQ exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art. She said she appreciated the “breadth of organizations across ethnicities, majors, and schools” that collaborated on the 14 events.

A College sophomore — who helped organize QPenn this year but requested not to include his name since he has not yet publicly identified as a member of the LGBTQ community — said this year was different in that the board placed more emphasis on accessibility, from the events to the online supplement. He noted that the board even plans to record the rescheduled keynote speech for interested people

Penn can improve its procedures around sexual harassment so that they are “more effective and equitable.”

“It is one of our highest priorities at Penn to sustain a campus free of sexual violence, sexual harassment, and all other forms of sexual misconduct,” Pritchett wrote in his email. “In this light, we have updated the University’s policy on Consensual Sexual Relations Between Faculty and Students, which was originally published in 1995.”

The updated policy does not include changes to procedures governing sexual relations between graduate students and faculty members. However, research has shown that graduate students at Penn are more likely than undergraduate students to identify faculty members as sexual harassment offenders.

The 2015 Association of American Universities Campus Climate Survey found that 23 percent of female graduate respondents identified a faculty member as the offender of

who can not attend.

The student also talked about the importance of discovering QPenn.

“Last year I didn’t enter the

LGBT Center almost at all,” he said. “In the spring semester, when QPenn came around, and those events were advertised all the way on my side of cam-

pus it was like – it was really an invitation. After that, I kept going back to the center, even though there weren’t events drawing me through the door.”

harassment, as opposed to the only 5 percent of female undergraduate respondents who did.

Earlier this year, five anonymous respondents of a public survey reported alleged incidents of sexual assault and harassment by Penn professors.

Four out of those five anonymous respondents identified themselves as graduate students.

On top of changing the rules governing students and faculty, the updated policy on the Faculty Handbook site is also more

explicit about the repercussions that faculty members face for violating this policy.

Until this month, the 23-year-old policy that Penn implemented stated that the Provost and other administrators ought to respond to reports of prohibited sexual relations by “inquiring further” and if necessary, “initiating appropriate disciplinary action” against the teacher involved.

In the updated policy, the University added another line, stating explicitly that, “Viola-

tors of this policy will be subject to sanctions ranging from written reprimand to tenure revocation and/or termination of employment or expulsion.”

While it’s not immediately clear when the discussion for this update to the policy began or why, Pritchett wrote in his email that the changes had been approved by multiple administrative departments as well as student leaders from the Undergraduate Assembly and the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly.

asking the protestors to register to vote. The crowd folded around the voter registration tables lining the route.

Philadelphia resident Cassie Levine is a volunteer with HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that aims to increase Democratic participation. She was among the 50 HeadCount volunteers registering people to vote during the march.

“Voting gives people a voice. I think that this is an important event to register voters because it’s a call to action by the youth,” Levine said. “It’s a great way to get young people involved in politics and empower them to use their voice[s] to promote change.”

Legal Studies and Business Ethics professor Kevin Werbach attended the march with his son, who is a sophomore in high school.

Werbach said that he believed it was important to advocate for gun control to “create a safe world for our children.”

“I think it’s tremendously impressive that the kids in Parkland have catalyzed this movement and that there’s so many young people and students that are involved in this activity,” he added. “It’s impressive and it makes people like me really want to participate.”

ing, and drumming. Marchers packed the pavement and even spilled into the grassy areas on the sides of the streets. One of the speakers, Mark Timpone, is the father of a Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school student who ran into the shooter on a stairwell during the attack.

Timpone said the shooter was luckily re-loading at the the time, and Timpone’s son was able to take shelter in a nearby classroom.

Timpone explained that he was the former owner of an AR-15 style rifle, which he turned in after the Parkland shooting. “[An AR-15] is not made for

hunting, it’s made for killing,” he said.

The crowd fell silent as Timpone said he was able to purchase the gun easily and without a background check, until one woman yelled, “Thank you for your honesty!”

Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) told the crowd he found the march significant “because young people are leading on this issue all across the country.”

“I don’t think in any time in American history has a group of young Americans had as much impact in a short time frame as you’ve already had,” he said.

“Why does it always have to be mass shootings for people to start advocating for it and mobilizing for it?”

Why the Asian-Pacific Islander label is inaccurate FRESH TAKE | Aggregating Pacific Islanders within ‘API’ overlooks their unique identity

MONDAY MARCH 26, 2018 VOL. CXXXIV, NO. 20 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 ALANA SHUKOVSKY Design Editor BEN ZHAO Design Editor KELLY HEINZERLING News Editor MADELEINE LAMON News Editor HALEY SUH News Editor MICHEL LIU Assignments Editor COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor THEODOROS PAPAZEKOS Sports Editor YOSEF WEITZMAN Sports Editor

I grew up surrounded by “Pasifika” culture. Soaking up the languages, celebrating Samoan dance at festivals, eating delicious Tongan food, and even watching satirical “brown TV.” The shows, food, and culture weren’t spectacles — they were simply a part of New Zealand life.

But, by living in a country whose Samoan population nearly equals that of Samoa itself, I became well-aware of specific issues that the Pasifika community faces.

This population disproportionately confronts housing issues, health issues, and barriers to higher education.

Asians, as a separate minority group, do not face these exact issues.

So, imagine my shock coming to Penn hearing the term “API issues” tossed around, seeing there’s an Asian Pacific Student Coalition, and discovering that in the United States, Asian-Pacific is a common population aggregation.

Of course, the United States is not New Zealand. But here are the cold, hard, American facts.

Less than 20 percent of Pacific Islanders who took the ACT met the scoring benchmarks in all four subject areas, and 40 percent met none at all.

Only 18 percent of Pacific Islander adults hold a bachelor’s degree. Beyond educational

young men exhibit downward social mobility.

I sat down with College freshman Cerinn Hwang, who is from Saipan, the largest of the Northern Mariana Islands.

“The state of the education system on Saipan,” she said, “it’s just not that encouraging

to the students and a lot of them don’t even consider taking the SATs or the ACT.” She explained that some of the cultures common to the Pacific Islands “don’t instill into people that it’s a great opportunity [to go to college].”

“If we group API together and only focus on Asian-American issues, that’s not a good thing,” Shin explained to me.

“We need to fix that.”

The issue, though, is that it’s near impossible to group API together without focusing solely on Asian-American issues.

Out of APSC’s 24 constituents, only one, Penn Hawaii Club, is exclusively related to Pacific interests.

When Hwang joined APSC, she “noticed that the ones that are actively giving presentations [were] Asian groups.”

With the severe imbalance in numbers, this aggregation drowns out Pacific Islander concerns and even their presence.

“That’s what has been happening,” admits Shin. “It’s almost a numbers thing.”

It’s time for Asian Americans to stop talking about their struggles in the “API community,” without actually knowing anything about the PI community.

Reflections on my interview with Amy Wax GUEST COLUMN BY BROWN UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR GLENN LOURY Ed Note: When conducting research for his column, “What Amy Wax’s critics get wrong,” Opinion Columnist Mateen Tabatabaei reached out to Brown University professor Glenn Loury. It was in an interview with Loury during an episode of his online talk show, “The Glenn Show,” that Wax made a series of controversial remarks on black Penn Law students, leading eventually to backlash from the University. The following guest column is the emailed response Loury sent to The Daily Pennsylvanian.

Since it was at my video blog where Prof. Wax made the offending remarks last fall, I’d like to offer my reactions to the fallout for the benefit of your readers.

Perhaps she ought to have been more circumspect during our interview, so as to avoid speaking publicly and in loose terms about the relative academic performance of her students by race. Doing so was not very politic, I acknowledge; not very wise either, it would appear; and perhaps, even a bit unprofessional — though I’m not so sure about this last …

Nonetheless, I’m aware of no ethical mandate barring such talk as the following: “My Asian students, over the years and on the whole, have been really terrific! They’re hard workers, quick on their feet, and invariably cluster near the top of the class … “ The foregoing happens to be an expression of my genuine sentiments — based upon my experience over more than four decades as a college professor. It is the equivalent, formally, of what Prof. Wax said about her black students. Hypothetically speaking, it well may be unwise, impolite and impolitic for me to say this in certain venues. But my doing so would NOT — so far as I can see — be a violation of any ethical norm or rule of professional conduct warranting that I be reprimanded. (Am I really supposed not to notice such performance patterns — if they, in fact, exist — in my classrooms? Or, am I only meant not to speak of them?)

Moreover, even were I to openly

say something of this sort, doing so ought NOT to result in my teaching responsibilities being amended in response to a public outcry. It is prejudicial in the extreme to presume that teachers (like me) who think such thoughts as expressed above, and who speak openly about those observations, cannot be trusted to deal fairly and on an individual basis with any non-Asian students who might take one of our classes.

Wouldn’t the person who charges me with pro-Asian bias for simply noticing such a pattern be, indirectly, admitting to a kind of anti-Asian bias by insisting that I remain mute about it …? (Likewise, isn’t someone who charges Amy Wax with anti-black bias indirectly admitting to a certain kind of pro-black bias by insisting that she be silent in public about her classroom experiences?)

So, here’s my bottom line: I believe that Dean Ruger’s actions against Amy Wax at Penn Law — responding to public pressure no less — were reprehensible, and deserve to be condemned.

Note well: there is an Orwellian aspect to this whole brouhaha — namely, that Wax’s generalizations are said not only to be offensive, but to be dead wrong, slanderous and ignorant. Yet, by Dean Ruger’s own backhanded admission (“this response is restrained out of respect for student privacy … “, or words to that effect) the data (e.g., administrative records of the classroom performances at Penn Law broken down by race) are said either to be impossible to obtain, or to be unavailable for public review due to privacy concerns. “Trust us: she’s dead wrong. Unfortunately, we can’t show you just how wrong …”

This is completely unconvincing! For, Penn Law surely knows the race of its applicants at the time of admission — otherwise they would not be able to maintain the numbers of black students at current levels since — given what we do, in fact, know about the racial dis-

parities in LSAT scores and college GPA’s among applicants to elite law schools — a race-blind admissions policy could never produce such numbers. So, Penn Law knows its students’ racial identities at the point of admission, but somehow quickly “forgets” this information

violate the personal privacy rights of any individual student? Since when, for that matter, is a professor’s willingness to speak publicly, and in general terms, about her classroom experiences with varied groups of students, as i just did above — however imprudent — the equivalent,

unpopular opinions. Period.

Moreover, this punishment has been enacted before all of the world in direct response to vocal and insistent demands from students and alumni. It therefore amounts to a great institution of legal education formally acquiescing in a “mob”-inspired act of thought-policing. That is not hyperbole; it is a statement of fact. “We shouldn’t be required to study with someone who thinks like Amy Wax, because anyone who has those opinions is, ipso facto, a ‘racist’, a ‘white supremacist’, a ‘segregationist’ — someone who cannot be trusted to treat us fairly or to view us objectively … “ This is what has been said, almost literally, by those who’ve been insisting that Wax be removed from teaching required classes. And, his earnest as Dean Ruger alleges concerning protestations to the contrary notProf. Wax, of inappropriately using withstanding, this line of reasoning her students for her research purpos- is precisely what Dean Ruger has es without their approval? now formally endorsed!

Finally, for my money, here’s the most tragic part of it, and mark my words: those, like the Penn chapter of the National Lawyers Guild — who have demanded Wax’s removal on the grounds that what she said was a racist slander — are going to lose this argument over the longer run. They’re playing an incredibly weak hand, it seems to me. No one who is concerned about the well-being of black students, in the legal academy or elsewhere, should welcome public scrutiny of the relative academic performance of those black students who are benefiting from the practice of affirmative action at elite universities! And yet, this is what the pillorying of Amy Wax will surely lead to. I promise you, as someone who knows a thing or two about what’s going on at the most selective academic institutions in this country, no good can come of that.

In other words, I think that, in the end, the folk demanding Amy Wax’s head on a platter are bluffing!

We are the ones that shape our college experience ROAD JESS TRAVELED | On the power of the decisions we make As this academic year ends, I am confronted by a scary realization: My sophomore year is coming to a close. Nearly two years of my college experience is over, and only two years remain. Where did the time go?

And more importantly, what did I do in that time?

A part of me is grateful for the decisions I made in what to get involved with and how I spent my time, but a small, nagging part of me also regrets not doing something completely new, or expanding beyond my comfort zone. What if I tried out for the women’s rugby team, even though I had never been an athlete? What if I tried out one more time for that dance group?

It’s scary to think that even these small decisions to try random things have the potential to make an impact on the next few years of my life, and even the people I still keep in con-

tact with after college. But it’s true: For better or worse, you never know where one decision can lead.

As college students, we are often not cognizant of the true impact of our decisions, and how they affect our daily lives.

Choosing to go out instead of studying, hanging out with certain people, applying for one club instead of another — the culmination of these small, seemingly minute choices ultimately determines our college careers. At the end of the day, college is completely what we make of it — and what that means is college is completely our choices. We never know the true impact of our decisions until later when we look back and reminisce.

When we are unhappy with our college experiences, the easy route is to blame Penn.

Pushing the blame on a singular institution is often easier

than coming to terms with our own agency, the role we play in our unhappiness. However, as I sit on the cusp of the scary realm of being an upperclassman, I’ve found some truth in

People that are involved with a million things, have leadership positions in a million clubs, and are satiated with their professional and social lives. But underneath the perfect facade

of the superstar student, there are always doubts, and even regrets, about the choices they have made. There are infinite paths we can all go. How do we know we’re on the right path?

How do we know that we’ve shaped our college career in the

right way for us?

As a constantly doubting college student myself, I don’t claim to know the absolutely correct, straightforward answer. However, I do know one thing: There are passions within all of us that we can’t deny, no matter how small. When we act upon these urges, these things we cannot imagine ourselves not doing, that’s when we make the right decisions for ourselves. When we choose to dedicate ourselves to the things we truly care about, that’s when we feel fulfilled. That’s when we know we’re living our best college lives.

At the end of the day, we are the only ones that can control our fates — how we choose to spend our time, who we spend our time with, how we change our situations. It’s scary, but in many ways, college is our first experiment in autonomy — how we deal with unhappiness,

JESSICA LI and how to make ourselves fulfilled and happy. However, as intimidating as this experiment is, I challenge all of us to embrace it and attempt to shape our time at Penn as best as we can, because everything – and I mean everything – is truly what we make of it.

Huntsman director’s exit leaves students confused

Students were notified of her retirement on Nov. 1 CHAE HAHN Staff Reporter

The abrupt exit of the longtime leader of the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business, Inge Herman, has left students confused and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding her departure.

Inge Herman, who has been executive director of the dual-degree program since 2003, left Penn in the fall. Around mid-October, students noticed that she had not been in her office and rumors began circulating around the program about

the reasons for her exit.

On Nov. 1, the faculty directors of the Huntsman Program emailed students to say Herman retired in a two-sentence email that praised "her hard work in helping us build Huntsman in to the strong and thriving program that it is today."

Peter Winicov, the director of Media Relations at the Wharton School, passed along The Daily Pennsylvanian's request to comment to Ron Ozio, the director of Penn Media Relations, who later declined to comment.

Herman, who was reached by phone this week, said she made an agreement with the University to not discuss the program or the

reasons for her exit. She declined to speak further.

The Huntsman Program, a joint program in international studies and business, which grants students degrees both from the College of Arts and Sciences and Wharton, was first established in 1994 to “prepare its students to become leaders in today’s increasingly interconnected world.”

Herman had been the Huntsman Program’s executive director since 2003, guiding the program for over a decade. As a leader who played an integral role in building the program, she worked closely with the Office of Admissions, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Wharton Undergraduate

Division.

Aside from her work with many offices within Penn, she was also closely involved in student life.

She served as the primary academic advisor for the fewer than 200 students in the program.

In a 2014 DP article, Wharton senior Jara Krys, a former Huntsman student who took a leave of absence from Penn and later went into sex work, revealed that during her time as a student, Herman had disclosed personal information about Krys to her peers on many instances, alienating her from the rest of her class.

Many students declined to discuss Herman, but the few who went on the record said she has been very helpful in answering questions about academic coursework.

Alex Bendix, chair of the Huntsman Student Advisory Board and a College and Wharton senior, said Herman was the “figurehead” of the program.

“Everyone referred to her by her first name. When you meet Huntsman alumni from a decade ago, they would always ask about Inge and how she’s doing,” Bendix said. “She was, in many ways, representative of the program.”

In addition to advising students, Herman was a “constant presence in the life of a Huntsman student,” Bendix said.

“Whenever I walk[ed] into the Huntsman lounge, she was always there. I really enjoyed talking to her, and a lot of other students did

The forrmer director, Inge Herman, said that she made an agreement with the University to not discuss the program or the reasons for her exit.

too,” College and Wharton sophomore Aiden Reiter said.

College and Wharton freshman Ben Lu said students were told they would be getting a new director at the start of the spring, but Herman's position is still vacant.

In her absence, Associate Director Marco Alves has been running the program.

“It’s very confusing, we’re definitely being kept in the dark about the whole thing," Lu said.

Students interviewed for this piece praised Alves, but noted that the workload required for the role has left him at times overwhelmed.

As the only full-time Huntsman administrator, his portfolio of responsibilities has vastly expanded since Herman left.

“Marco has been great, but it definitely felt like a loss in a way because [Herman] was someone who looked out specifically for my academic interest,” Reiter said. “Marco is dealing with almost 200 students by himself, it’s a lot more, and harder, for him to do.”

The official Huntsman website currently lists professor Robert Jenson and professor Rudra Sil as the co-directors of the program, along with Alves and Flora Cornfield, an administrative staffer who oversees students’ study abroad programs. Sil and Cornfield both declined to comment on her departure, and Jenson and Alves could not be reached via email.

Asian American Studies program hosts ethnic studies conference It was held to “re-contextualize” American history CHAE HAHN Staff Reporter

The Asian American Studies program has struggled to keep alive since longtime Director Grace Kao left for Yale University, but active in the fight for ASAM's survival have now expanded their reach to include other ethnic studies programs.

“As we struggled to push the administration for more hires and resources, we came to realize this wasn't just our fight," said College senior Lindsey Lui, chair of the ASAM Undergraduate Advisory Board. "It was a fight for all ethnic studies programs.”

Liu and other ASAM students held an ethnic studies conference on campus to “re-contextualize” American history on Friday.

The conference, entitled “No Program No Peace: On the Importance of Ethnic Studies and Inter-Ethnic Solidarity," was organized by the ASAM undergraduate advisory board to “bridge different ethnic studies programs and build interracial solidarity.”

For over a year, ASAM faculty and students have been fighting against the lack of administrative support. Through protests and petitions, they urged that the program could not sustain itself in the future without a new director, sufficient funding, or physical space.

It featured a panel on ethnic studies with students studying Africana Studies, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, Latin American and Latina Studies, as well as visiting students from Swarthmore College.

It also involved a film screening, performance, and a workshop on multi-racial identities led by Blasian Narratives.

Student panelists discussed their experiences as ethnic minority students and how their ethnic group’s history is typically misrepresented or excluded in textbooks.

They also suggested ways to continue developing ethnic studies programs in universities.

College senior Kassidy Jones, who was a panelist representing Africana Studies, reflected on how taking classes in Africana Studies made her feel more understood than in other classes.

“These classes provided me

with the tools to articulate the experiences I’ve had as a black woman all my life,” Jones said.

Reflecting on the importance of ethnic studies programs, the panelists emphasized the need for solidarity and understanding between minority groups.

“All ethnic studies programs are born out of the same movement that said ‘if we can’t see ourselves represented in our academia, we will not rest until that happens,” College junior Luke Kertcher, ASAM UAB member and one of the main organizers of the conference, said.

Sonya Chen, a senior at Swarthmore who was one of the panelists for the conference, said at Swarthmore, conversations about Asian American history had to occur mainly outside of the classroom because the college doesn’t offer an institutionalized Asian American Studies program.

“I think it’s really amazing to have people from different ethnic studies programs and across schools speak,” Chen said.

“Ethnic studies itself is interdisciplinary, so in order for each subfield to grow, ethnic studies as

a whole has to grow.”

In the afternoon, Blasian Narratives, an off-campus multimedia African Asian group, screened their documentary and performed some of their pieces. A Q&A session about multiracial identities followed their performance.

“There isn’t much talk about multiracial identity even within those involved in ethnic studies.

It’s definitely an underdeveloped field of study with little literature out there.” Lui explained.

Faculty and students from various ethnic studies programs at Penn, as well as those who are interested in learning more about them, attended the conference.

“As a freshman, I haven’t been really exposed to the ethnic studies programs Penn offers, so it was really interesting to hear the panelists talk about their programs and how they impacted their lives,” College freshman Sarah Kim said.

“There is so much that we don’t know about what has happened to

Professors say the call to arm teachers is misguided, ‘ill-informed’

gram Director Elaine Simon said social media movements like #ArmMeWith can be effective in raising attention to important issues by providing a shorthand way of making a statement and reaching a national audience.

Simon also said that Trump’s call for arming teachers is completely misguided. “It reflects

someone that has no idea what it means to be in a classroom,” she said.

As Simon further noted, teachers already have so much to deal with on a daily basis that adding responsibility over a firearm would be far too much to ask.

She added that a vast majority of educators are not qualified to op-

erate a firearm, let alone use one precisely in the event of an emergency.

Joel Fein, professor of pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine and co-director of the Violence Prevention Initiative of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, agreed with this sentiment, “I think its either illinformed to say that arming teachers would be able to prevent mass shootings on campuses, or it is based on absolutely no data that I know of.”

Fein further posited that an increase in funding for counseling in schools and more research into student health care and well-being could act as a real deterrent to mass shootings on campuses.

Trump has since clarified his suggestion, saying he had never called to arm all teachers. “What I said was to look at the possibility of giving concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience — only the best,” Trump said on Twitter.

Since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School,

Trump not to attend the reunion.

Nine people said they expected Trump to attend.

Many of Trump’s classmates say they do not expect him to follow in the footsteps of other United States presidents and attend the reunion, but others maintain the University should capitalize on this unique opportunity to bring him back to Penn’s campus.

This split in opinion is not new to discussions surrounding Trump and his complex relationship with the University.

While Trump is fond of citing his Penn credentials in speeches and public appearances, President Amy Gutmann and the rest of the University’s administration have never explicitly referred to Trump during his campaign or during his time in office. Gutmann came close to breaking her reticence only once in January 2017, when she described Trump’s executive

order banning immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries “injurious to our work and inimical to our values.”

During their 50th reunion last year, members of the class of 1967 called upon Penn to “denounce Trump.” 1968 Wharton graduate Howard Morrison said he wouldn’t be surprised if similar actions were taken by the Class of 1968.

“Having stayed in touch with a couple of my classmates, yeah, they’re probably still up for a good protest,” Morrison said, adding he has not yet heard of any such plans.

Morrison, who is a former executive editor of The Daily Pennsylvanian, said that during his time at Penn, Trump was neither very social nor exceptionally interested in retaining friendships.

“He had a life and it wasn’t in West Philadelphia, and I just as-

sume that’s true today, so I’d be very surprised if he showed up,” Morrison said.

This rings true of what many of Trump’s former classmates have reported to remember about Trump’s time at Penn. The DP contacted 269 people from the Class of 1968 for a story in 2017, and 68 of the 74 who responded said they had never encountered Trump at Penn.

1968 Wharton graduate Kenneth Kadish told the DP at the time that he knew everyone in his class except for Trump, adding that “it wasn’t that [Trump] was just not prominent. It was like he was non-existent.”

Should the president decide to attend the reunion, Morrison said he is likely to be faced with mixed reactions.

“He would be treated with the same respect we showed toward each other 50 years ago and the

Many advocate for better resources instead of guns ETHAN RANDAZZO Contributing Reporter

Amid discussions about gun violence at schools, proposals to arm American teachers have surfaced in public discourse. At Penn and across the country, educators are pushing back against proposals to arm teachers with weapons.

As CNN reported, Olivia Bertels, a middle school English teacher in Kansas, and Brittany Wheaton, an English teacher in Utah, first began the #ArmMeWith movement after President Trump suggested to train and arm teachers to deter mass shootings during a listening session with survivors of the Feb. 14 Parkland, Fla. mass shooting.

Teachers are responding to Trump’s suggestion with what they feel would actually benefit schools and students, like more guidance counselors, newer textbooks, and smaller class sizes.

But the plans of President Donald Trump, who celebrates his Penn 50th reunion in May, are still unknown. Trump, who graduated from Wharton in 1968, was invited to the 50th reunion alongside all other members of his graduating class in early February, according to Class of 1968 Vice President and 50th Reunion Liaison Elsie Sterling Howard.

Howard said the organizing committee has not heard back from Trump and “have no idea” whether he is planning to attend.

College senior Jana Korn worked with two high school students to organize Philadelphia’s “March For Our Lives” protest on Saturday.

there have been reports of at least three different instances of guns accidentally firing in schools, and another school shooting at Great Mills High School in Maryland, which left a sixteen-year-old student in critical condition.

Steven Berkowitz, professor of Clinical Psychiatry and director of the Center for Youth and Family Traumatic Stress Recovery at Penn, said that the entire approach to preventing mass shootings on campuses needs to be completely rethought.

As he explained, today’s competitive education system places tremendous pressure on students to achieve academically, with all other alternatives being regarded as failure. This can lead to troubled, isolated students.

“Part of the history of these school shootings is these very disaffected kids, many of whom clearly have emotional issues but do not feel as if they are a part of anything. They feel really removed and isolated, and we do not do anything about that in a school setting in any structural way,” Berkowitz said. “I think a lot of

the funding to do that and to rethink how and what we are teaching is really useful.”

Penn students also have thoughts on the movement.

College junior Elise Reynolds, who helped organize the student demonstration Penn Students Stand Against Gun Violence, said she thinks the #ArmMeWith movement is a wonderful idea.

“My mom is a high school teacher, and I think that it is really great to see teachers engaging in activism in this way, and I love the idea of ‘arm me with the resources that I need to do my job,’” she said.

College senior Jana Korn, who also helped plan PSSAGV, said, “I could definitely see this being an issue that riles up enough teachers,” but added that “there is only so much that a hashtag can do.”

Korn was also one of the three organizers of Philadelphia’s “March For Our Lives” protest on Saturday. She worked with two high school students to plan the event, and thousands of people — Philadelphia residents and Penn students and professors alike — marched in solidarity.

same contempt that members of the class must feel for him now,” Morrison said.

Showcasing the differing views on Trump’s potential presence, fellow classmate Clifford Alsberg said he hoped the president is welcome to attend the reunion.

“Whether you love the guy or hate the guy, he is still the President of the United States, and the University of Pennsylvania is never going to have an opportunity like this again, ever, ever, ever,” Alsberg said.

Alsberg has reached out to University administration via letters over the past year to bring this “opportunity of a lifetime” to honor a standing US president, but has received no response. He said he would be hesitant to attend the reunion if Penn does not consider honoring the President.

Other alumni, such as Bradford Block, said they did not

think Trump should be denied the chance to attend his reunion, but added that a celebration of Trump would make him uncomfortable.

“Just as I don’t think they should protest him, based on his current policies and investigations going on, it’s not the time to honor him,” Block said.

Regardless of Trump’s attendance, reunions will be celebrated during alumni week in the days leading up to commencement, with Penn alumni from many classes attending the festivities.

Those taking part in the Class of 1968’s 50th reunion will be invited to engage in Penn-themed activities like movie screenings, breakfasts, the dedication of the Class of 1968 Legacy Garden, and a Gala at the Barnes Foundation. The events begin on May 10 and conclude on May 14 with the Class of 1968 leading the Commencement parade.

FENCING | Penn finishes eighth for second year in row MOSES NSEREKO Sports Reporter

As expected, it was a strong finish to a strong season.

This past Sunday, Penn fencing closed out its season with an impressive showing at the NCAA National Championships, hosted at Penn State. The Quakers recorded an eighthplace finish, with Penn tallying 101 points from the 10 fencers sent to State College, Pa. “Overall, it was a pretty decent [showing],” coach Randall LeMaster said. “We got five All-American selections, four

honorable mention All-Americans, and one second team AllAmerican.”

10 fencers, 10 All-American distinctions.

The women competed on Thursday and Friday, while the men competed during the weekend. The national tournament consisted of five rounds of five-touch bouts, where the top four fencers in each weapon class moved into a 15-touch knockout bracket for individual titles. Notre Dame won its 10th title with a full team of 12 fencers. Penn finished behind two Ivy rivals: second-place finisher Columbia and fifth place finisher Harvard.

On the women’s side, the Quakers were led by a top-10

finish by sophomore foil Nicole Vaiani, who won 14 of her 23 bouts to finish ninth. MidAtlantic regional foil champion freshman Nicole Wong made it two top-15 finishes in foil, finishing 11th with only two less wins then her teammate. Senior epee Stephanie Wolf closed out her Penn career with a top-15 finish after qualifying for her first NCAAs. For the Ivy-champion men’s team, sophomore Willie Upbin recorded Penn’s highest result with a sixth-place finish in men’s foil. Freshman Michael Li finished ninth in the foil event. Junior Justin Yoo also recorded a top-10 finish, placing ninth in men’s epee.

LeMaster remarked on what

the experience of competing at nationals did for Upbin’s confidence.

“Willie came in with a real relaxed attitude; he was comfortable,” Penn’s director of fencing operations said.

“I think that’s really the best mindset to approach this type of pressure induced environment. Because of that, he went out and fenced well against extremely tough competition” While Penn also finished eighth in 2017, a season in which the Quakers also shared the men’s Ivy title with two teams, this year’s top-10 finish feels different.

For LeMaster, what is most encouraging about Penn’s finish to the season is the pros-

pect for even greater heights in future seasons. A majority of the Quakers that finished in the top 15 in their events are underclassmen, which means that Penn will continue to have strong fencers in future seasons. As Penn’s underclassmen gain experience, it will help future experiences at nationals.

Because, as LeMaster stressed, at nationals, the margin for error is minuscule at best.

“You’re talking about the best collegiate fencers in the United States all grouped together. If you’re just a little bit off it can affect [your result],” LeMaster said. “An example would be Justin Yoo, [who] finished second last year. Justin

didn’t get off to a great start; he finished strong, but he ended up ninth.”

At the nationals, the separation among the best fencers are just that thin.

Which is why LeMaster praised Penn’s consistent placers of fencers in the top 15. He pointed out that recruits will want to fence for the Red and Blue alongside teammates that compete well against the best in the collegiate fencing.

And as Penn looks back on a season where the stats from this season mirror the last one, what differentiates this season is the assurance that as the Quakers look forward, they can reach even more success.

On the biggest stage of the year, Penn gymnastics showed out with a title on the line.

Unfortunately, so did everyone else.

The No. 58 Red and Blue secured their fourth-highest score of the season at 193.200, but it wasn’t enough to compete with a recordsetting group of opponents at the ECAC Championships at the Palestra. No. 52 Yale won the meet with a school-record 195.325, and the Quakers took fourth place in the six-team competition.

Individually, senior Kyra Levi tied for first place in the bars competition, while also winning ECAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second straight season.

“Our goal going into today was really just focusing on doing our best; we can’t control what anyone else does,” said Levi, who averaged a stellar 9.742 points across her three events on Saturday. “We wanted to come in and hit 24 for 24 routines, and we got closer than we have this season, so I think we’re all really proud of that.”

After winning the Ivy League Tournament, coach Steve Donahue remarked that he’d never been around a team like this. This team did not win because we were incredibly talented, overly athletic, especially big, or even ultra skilled.

We won because of the strength of character and will of the individuals, which resulted in an unsurpassed level of selflessness and grit.

Penn professor Angela Duckworth has garnered acclaim and written a book about her concept of grit. She defines it as perseverance and passion for long-term goals.

This Quaker team has grit in spades. Darnell Foreman never gave up on himself and worked as hard as anyone in the country in any endeavor. Eight wins as a freshman; 24 as a senior and Ivy League regular season and tournament champion. I was on the staff under Jerome Allen when Darnell arrived as a freshman. Jerome and Ira Bowman, two of the all-time greatest Penn guards ever, became strong believers in Darnell through the recruiting process.

They watched him lead his high school team, where he was unquestionably the leader, and came to feel that Darnell could be a special leader at Penn. I remember often sitting in the office talking about our team’s struggles and Jerome was adamant that Darnell would grow to be a winner and leader. I cannot say I always believed, but

they were so right. Much has been said about coach Donahue coming to the same realization.

Darnell can be as stubborn as any person you could ever meet, but there is no question we came to embody the strength of his determination. My favorite moment after we won the Ivy Tournament was standing on the court and seeing Darnell and Ira embrace. I will keep the picture of that moment forever. It encapsulates what team, what coaching, what love amongst people committed to a common goal and something bigger than themselves, is all about.

Max Rothschild embodies our team grit as well. Max is clearly out of his mind, but it is in a way that drives him and his teammates to keep competing and fighting, to keep pushing the envelope of our personal capacity to achieve.

He is tough, relentless, and constantly vocal. Max, in large part due to his makeup, will often yell things to anyone at any time during competition. His diatribes span the spectrum from fun-loving exuberance for the game to frothing at the mouth competitiveness. Max is often in foul trouble, again due in large part to his makeup.

Once this season, when forced to take a seat on the bench in the first half after a flop against him by the other team’s star, Max proceeded to scream at the player from his seat. “You think that’s funny (player’s name)? Well I’m coming for you! I’m coming for you!”

At least that’s the ‘for-publication’ version. Max did get back in and

was instrumental in a key, and very close win.

Matt MacDonald was the first Penn recruit under coach Donahue.

Matt had started for two years and been a captain at Fairleigh Dickinson. We felt Matt would help us change our team culture to something representative of the five core values that coach Donahue implemented when hired. Matt’s playing time has gone from starter to role player. There have been games he has not played. In a time where so much is made of players not being happy, Matt MacDonald has been a leader for what became a championship team while seeing his role diminish. I cannot think of another example like this.

Matt’s father, Mike MacDonald, is a great coach. Parents often have a hard time staying quiet as a team evolves, as playing time fluctuates, as roles change. In the many conversations with coach MacDonald his message has been the same: Thank you for all you are doing; Matt loves Penn and loves the team. Matt’s brother, Pat, is about to graduate from Merchant Marine Academy where he played basketball. Pat will join the Navy and serve our country like many other MacDonald relatives who have served in the armed services. This is what Matt is, a servant leader. He is a servant to his teammates; he is a servant to the team.

Baseball avoids weekend sweep in first Ivy League series

Quakers erased a seven-run deficit against Brown DANNY CHIARODIT Associate Sports Editor

It wasn’t all bad for the Quakers this weekend.

After dropping the first two games of its series against Brown, Penn baseball managed to pick up a gutsy 9-8 victory on Sunday afternoon. The Red and Blue did not fare well in Saturday’s doubleheader, losing 7-6 in the 10th inning in game one and coming up short in a 4-1 defensive battle in game two.

Both teams came out of the gates ready to hit, as Penn (5-13, 1-2 Ivy) led the first game 5-4 through three innings. Junior catcher Matt O’Neill blasted a three-run home run in the third inning, foreshadowing what would be a great weekend for him.

Brown (6-8, 2-1 Ivy) would not go away though, quickly trimming its 5-1 deficit to a 6-5 Penn lead through five innings.

The Quakers retained this 6-5 lead until the ninth frame but could not quite close the deal, as the Bears tied the score and sent the game to extra innings off of an RBI single by sophomore Cameron Deere. In the 10th inning, Brown was again able to capitalize on its opportunities.

This time, it was another sophomore, Calvin Farris, who singled to knock in the winning run, as the Bears walked off on Penn.

Errors were a major problem in the first game on Saturday, as the Red and Blue committed four of them. The sophomore pitching duo of Mitchell Holcomb and Christian Scafidi threw all 10 innings of this game, and because of the errors behind them, only three of Brown’s seven runs were earned.

In the second game, the Quakers’ defense was better but it was their offense that could not get going. Brown raced out to a 4-0 lead through five innings, and Penn was unable to answer. The team’s only score came in the seventh inning, when O’Neill hit a solo home run.

Unfortunately for the Quakers, they were unable to manufacture any more runs and dropped the second game 4-1.

“Obviously when you lose in a walk-off the first game of the series, it can be tough to bounce back,” coach John Yurkow said. “I think that hurt us a little bit in game two.

You know, our energy wasn’t great in game two yesterday.”

Despite the pair of losses, one bright spot for Penn was senior pitcher Gabe Kleiman. The ace tossed seven solid innings, giving up just one earned run in the game two loss.

While Penn came into Sunday’s matchup already having lost the series, the team did everything that it could to avoid the sweep. The early indication was that Brown would be getting another victory, as the Bears put up eight runs in the first inning.

But even going down 8-1 after one inning, the Quakers hung tough and chipped away at the deficit.

They put together a five-run third inning and also scored in the fifth,

sixth, and eighth innings. Brown on the other hand, failed to get a run across home plate after its offensive explosion in the first.

Freshman Brendan Bean knocked in the go-ahead run in the eighth, and Penn’s pitching and defense was able to secure the 9-8 victory, despite Brown having runners in scoring position in each of the final two frames. The bullpen committee of Robby Cerulle, Grant Guillory, Mulvihill, and Jacob Sandowitz did a tremendous job of shutting down the Brown offense that previously looked unstoppable.

“It says a ton about our team and what kind of guys we have in our dugout and in that bullpen the way we got off to a slow start, got down to a big deficit early, but we followed right back and made sure we got out of there with one win and really fought back,” O’Neill said. “I was really impressed with our team to be able to bounce back like that.”

On the weekend, O’Neill (.456 BA, seven runs batted in), junior first baseman Sean Phelan (.455

BA, two RBI), and junior third baseman Matt McGeagh (.357 BA, four RBI) led the way for Penn.

While Sunday’s win gives the Quakers some momentum going forward, the fact of the matter is that they will have to play more consistently than they did this weekend

if they want to compete for an Ivy League title, according to Yurkow.

The team’s focus will now shift to Tuesday’s home opener against St. Joseph’s, a game that the Red and Blue can use as preparation ahead of a vital series next weekend against Dartmouth.

They are like brothers: fighting, cursing one another, seemingly hating each other at every practice, only Exp. 4/11/12 Exp. to return to the house they share off2/23/12 campus. They are tough and competitive, insane in their own right.

They too have seen their time fluctuate. Jake as a freshman from nearby Cherry Hill, where he had such a stellar high school career they named a day in his honor, had his name chanted during games. Jackson had arguably the best in league season by a freshman that year. They are both all grit.

They would chew off your leg to get a loose ball and they will find any way to manipulate the rules to win, at anything, against anyone. Every practice since they arrived, whether starting and playing the whole game or not playing a second, they compete with a manic, highly vocal, energy and competitiveness. I have never seen anything like it. All the while, they have been the loudest on the bench: cheering, supporting, urging/demanding teammates to do better and play harder, calling out every minute detail from the scouting report. They are exceptional teammates, supportive, but hold everyone accountable, immediately with unwavering intensity.

They are also exceptional people.

My youngest son reveres Jackson, talks incessantly about him. For his fifth birthday, he desperately wanted Jackson at the party. I tried to brace him for the inevitable heartbreak.

No college male wants to go to a five-year-old’s birthday party on a Saturday. My son wore me down, so I asked Jackson to come, expecting what I thought was the certainty of him declining the invitation. Jackson came, stayed for hours, and bought my son a present.

The thing is, this team is full of remarkable people. Not remarkable because they are the most talented, skilled, or athletic. This group is remarkable for embodying our core values: selflessness, passion, competitiveness, unity, and gratitude; and because every day they demanded that each other would BYOG (Bring Your Own Grit).

Despite strong start, men’s lacrosse falls to Cornell Big Red upset Quakers with flood of second half goals BREVIN FLEISCHER Associate Sports Editor

M. LACROSSE CORNELL No. 15 PENN

20 13

Talk about a tale of two halves.

After exploding for 10 goals in the first half, Penn men’s lacrosse faltered in the second, losing to rival Cornell 20-13.

For the No. 16 Quakers (5-4, 1-1 Ivy), the loss comes on the heels of the team’s first winning streak of the season, as they defeated Princeton last weekend and Bucknell on Tuesday.

In the early going, it appeared as if the Quakers were picking up

where they had left off against the Tigers and the Bison, as juniors Tyler Dunn and Simon Mathias led an offensive barrage in the game’s first 30 minutes.

However, even with the offense clicking in such a manner, the Red and Blue were never able to distance themselves from Cornell (4-3, 1-1), as star attackman Jeff Teat and the Big Red offense nearly matched the Quakers goal for goal, scoring eight of their own in the first half.

Although it seemed as if the fans were going to be treated to a highscoring, back-and-forth affair in the second half, the Cornell defense had other ideas, holding the Quakers to just a single tally in the third quarter and two in the fourth quarter.

Keying the Big Red’s secondhalf dominance was their work on the ground, as they scooped up 17 ground balls to the Quakers’ nine.

Winning 10 of 16 second-half

NICOLE FRIDLING | ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

The Quakers got off to a hot start on offense led by junior attackman Simon Mathias, but the Quakers were upset by unranked Cornell.

face-offs contributed greatly to that ground ball disparity and further allowed Cornell to possess the ball for the majority of the game.

Given the plethora of scorers on the Big Red attack, those extra possessions proved costly for the Quakers. Teat, only a sophomore but al-

ready ubiquitously regarded as one of the best attackmen in the sport, facilitated an offense predicated on passing and cutting.

He scored six goals and recorded two assists, displaying crafty ballhandling and slick feeding throughout the contest. Rarely was Teat able

to fully evade Penn sophomore defenseman Mark Evanchick, but his handle and craftiness allowed him to find creases and cutters against Penn’s defense.

Penn’s defense had established itself as one of the top units in the country heading into this matchup, holding the opponent’s offense under 10 goals four games in a row, but against Cornell, weaknesses may have been exposed. While the Red and Blue’s defenders were rarely beaten by Cornell’s dodgers, they were largely unable to contend with the Big Red’s ball movement, and delivered a performance eerily reminiscent of last season’s loss to Princeton.

For the Quakers to right the ship and continue on their trajectory towards Ivy League contention, they’ll need to address those issues and focus on their slide packages.

With a matchup against Ben Reeves

and defending Ivy League champion No. 6 Yale (6-1, 2-0) looming next weekend, the Red and Blue will not have much time to adjust.

However, even with this loss, the Quakers remain in an overall strong position. With a win over Princeton under its belt and with Princeton, Brown, and Dartmouth still winless in Ivy League play, Penn sits in the upper echelon of the conference.

Throw in wins over Duke and Michigan, and the Quakers could find themselves in the at-large discussion as well come tournament time.

Of course, the NCAA tournament is a long ways off, and Penn must focus on the task immediately ahead.

If the offense extends its first-half performance for a full 60 minutes and if the defense returns to earlyseason form, perhaps this is the year the Quakers finally dethrone the Bulldogs in New Haven.

Penn women’s lacrosse proved that on Saturday afternoon after finding itself behind the eight ball early, taking down Brown, 16-10, in a come-from-behind victory.

The adjustments proved successful as the second half belonged solely to the Quakers, who outscored Brown 11-3 in the period. “It was a good gut check for us because we had to adjust to something different, and we worked really hard as a team to get out of that early hole,�

Rosenzweig said.

Rosenzweig played a large role in the victory, scoring four goals and assisting on five scores. Her game-high ninepoint line is also the most in the program since 2012.

However, the Quakers will work to fine-tune their abilities and improve on their consistency as they will not be able to survive such early deficits later in the season. “I always want our team to play each game at a champion-

three goals through the first 12 minutes of action. “We wanted to start strong today, so it was disappointing that we couldn’t take control right off the bat,� sophomore Gabby Rosenzweig said.

The Quakers rallied following a timeout, scoring two quick goals from the sticks of Rosenzweig and senior Alex Condon.

The momentum did not hold for very long, however, as Brown (5-4, 0-3) quickly responded with four unanswered goals, giving the Bears a 7-2 advantage.

Penn wasn’t finished though, and put together another run of their own, scoring three unanswered before the break, pulling within two of Brown.

Halftime provided the perfect opportunity for the Red and Blue to adjust to Brown’s stingy defense and correct their offensive miscues.

Red and Blue begin outdoor season with stellar showings TRACK | Women finished first, men finished second WILL DiGRANDE Associate Sports Editor

There might have been snow last week, but Penn track and field was anything but cold on Saturday.

Strong performances from both the men and women got the outdoor season started on a bright note for the Quakers, as the Red and Blue hosted eight other teams in the Penn Challenge.

The women’s team finished in first place, crushing the field with 146.66 team points, over 50 points ahead of second-place Columbia.

The men finished in second place with 111.5 team points, behind only Army with an unbeatable score of 196.5.

Both squads earned their share of individual title victories for the

Red and Blue, together making many first-place finishes on the day.

Sophomore Maura Kimmel powered the way for the women with new program records in both the discus and the shot put, finishing first and second in the two events, respectively. Her distance of 50.80 meters in the discus was nearly two meters farther than her nearest opponent.

Freshman Ashley Anumba also performed well in the discus, throwing 44.96m for a third-place finish on Saturday, Penn’s sixthhighest mark of all time. With a few years left to compete, both Kimmel and Anumba will look to extend these records even more.

The Quakers won two track events, behind dominating showings all around. First, sophomore Breanne Bygrave narrowly edged Army’s Lynne Mooradian by 0.03 seconds in the 400m hurdles, fol-

lowed by two more Penn runners in third and fourth.

Later, the Red and Blue easily captured the 4x100-meter relay, as Penn’s “A” and “B” groupings claimed the top two finishes, ahead of teams from Army and Columbia.

Women from Penn swept first through fourth places in two events, led by senior Molly Minnig and junior Nicole Macco both clearing the 3.75m mark in pole vault, and senior Barbara Biney outperforming the field with a 5.78 long jump.

The men had similar success, thanks to a consistent showing from both newcomers and veterans, leading to more than a few event victories for the Quakers.

The only high jumper to clear 2.11m on Saturday, senior Mike Monroe had a great start to his outdoor season, leading a trio of Quakers to a 1-3-4 finish in the event.

Three jumpers cleared 2.07m, but

Nine-point day earns Rosenzweig DP Sports Player of the Week W. LAX | Sophomore keys second-half comeback BREVIN FLEISCHER Associate Sports Editor

Down 7-2 against unranked Brown, things were not looking good for No. 7 Penn women’s lacrosse to say the least.

That is until the Quakers went on a massive run to down the Bears by a score of 16-10.

Leading the charge for the Red and Blue (8-1, 2-0 Ivy) was sophomore attacker Gabby Rosenzweig, who demonstrated once again why she’s the most dangerous option on a potent Penn offense.

The star sophomore, who leads the team with 30 goals and 18 assists on the year, absolutely blitzed the Brown defense to the tune of four goals and five helpers.

With nine points, Rosenzweig set a new career-high for a single game, which is saying something considering that her career production is nearly unmatched throughout Penn women’s lacrosse history.

Her 48 points this season already place her 19th on the Quakers all-time single-season scoring list, and she still has at least six games (probably more when factoring in tournament play) left to add to that total.

Considering that she’s pro-

duced an average of 5.33 points-per-game so far this year, Rosenzweig is well on her way to dethroning Nina Corcoran to become the new Penn record holder for points in a single season.

Of course, all individual records are secondary to team success, but the Penn offense goes as Rosenzweig goes, so her chance at the record books and the team’s chances at an Ivy League championship and beyond might be intertwined.

For the above aspirations to become reality, expect Rosenzweig to win a few more DP Sports Player of the Week awards before the season ends.

Monroe’s success on his last attempt at 2.11m sealed the win.

Sophomore pole vaulter Sean Clarke nabbed another title with a 5.15m jump, tying Army’s Lee Bares but finishing above him because Bares missed a jump and Clarke did not.

Penn had a top-two finish in the hammer, with senior Sean Ryan throwing over 60m to win and multi-event freshman Jake Kubiatowicz finishing second. Kubiatowicz also finished third in the discus and fourth in the shot put.

On the track, sophomore Anthony Okolo was the only runner from the Red and Blue in the 400m hurdles, but his time of 55.06 seconds was good enough to beat the field. The 1500m race came down to the wire, but in the end senior Patrick Hally slid past Columbia’s Lucky Schreiner for first with a time of 3:50.80.

Both teams will have little time
