Protesters shut down CIA event

The talk was cut short after repeated interruptions ALLY JOHNSON Contributing Reporter

Less than 15 minutes after CIA Director John Brennan was introduced, protesters interrupted the event, chanting “drones kill kids” and “U.S. out of the Middle East.”

Friday’s moderated discussion with Brennan at the Penn Museum was shut down early following repeated interruptions by protesters inside the building — at least one of whom was Penn affiliated — who spoke out against the United States government’s use of drones. Several were escorted out of the building. After the first instance of protest, Penn Law Dean Theodore Ruger

returned to the stage to explain Penn’s freedom of expression policy. However, his voice was quickly drowned out as protesters continued to yell over him. Ruger and Penn professor and moderator Marjorie Margolies both asked if the protesters would like to hear the director’s response to their chanting. “Are you trying to silence him?” Ruger asked.

Margolies asked her question again with no response, and members of the audience began to boo at the protesters. One protester yelled “drones kill kids” and “black lives matter.” Another protester chanted “murderers.” They continued to chant as they were escorted out of the auditorium. One woman yelled at security officials SEE CIA PAGE 3

Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar on 40th and Walnut streets was asked to cease operations due to serious health violations after an inspection on March 18. “We take health inspections and cleanliness very seriously,” Restaurant Manager David Montague said. “Everything listed there we did address and will continue to address moving forward and always.” The restaurant received 22 violations, eight of which were labeled serious by the Philadelphia Health Department, including evidence of pest activity and sewage backup. Montague attributes the violations to a drainage issue. “It was a freak incident that really

can happen to any restaurant,” Montague said. “We did work to fix the issue immediately even before the health inspector was involved.” The duration of the restaurant’s closure is unclear. Although the health inspection report says that the restaurant management agreed to close voluntarily until the violations were corrected, Montague was vague about how long the restaurant would stop serving food. “The health inspector came through and we addressed the issues and we were open on that day,” Montague said. When asked for clarification on whether or not the restaurant had to close, Montague responded, “We did not close that day, no.” In the past, restaurants that have failed inspections have been able to remain open with few consequences.

Phila. first pay-what-you-can restaurant will open EAT Café will provide meals for the food insecure CHARLOTTE LARACY Staff Reporter

West Philadelphia will host the city’s first pay-what-you-can community restaurant this summer. The EAT (Everyone At the Table) Café will be a nonprofit restaurant that aims to provide a community space where people can share a two or three-course meal, regardless of their ability to pay. The restaurant is scheduled to open in June and will be located at 3820 Lancaster Ave. The restaurant is a creation by the collaboration with the Center for Hunger-Free Communities, the Center for Hospitality and Sport Management at Drexel University, Vetri Community Partnership and the greater West Philadelphia community. The pay-what-you-can model’s success relies on an intentional customer mix where some individuals may overpay, while others may underpay or not pay at all for the same meal. The cafe will also receive funds by fundraising and grant making. Jeff Benjamin, the co-founder of the Vetri Community Partnership

that empowers children and families to lead healthier lives through fresh food, hopes the EAT Café will bring about communal living as well as communal eating. The dining room will be constructed to allow people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, different age demographics and different walks of life to sit together and share a meal. “I hope it becomes a dialogue starter,” Benjamin said. “Food itself doesn’t discriminate. Anyone, at any given time, can come through the doors, whether it’s a student, a professor, a lawyer or someone from trade, it doesn’t really matter because everyone will be eating the same thing. At that moment, you have something in common with the person you are sitting next to.” Twenty-two percent of Philadelphians are food insecure, meaning they lack access to enough food for a healthy, active life, a 2013 Technical.ly Philly article reported. That is the highest rate of food insecurity across the whole state. The EAT Café addresses food insecurity by providing families and individuals experiencing hunger with a safe place to have a healthy meal. Food insecurity is also

correlated with poor health. According to a Philadelphia Inquirer article from December 2015, hungry people are at a higher risk for chronic illness, 30 percent more likely to be hospitalized and twice as likely to need mental health services. Donnell Jones-Craven, the general manager and chef of the EAT Café, ardently embraces the notion of community. Jones, who came to Philadelphia from Atlanta, is a culinary and hospitality professional with more than 25 years of experience in the food industry. Donnell has previously worked at Emory Healthcare, Darden Restaurants, Compass Group USA and Dennis Dean Catering. “I have a sense of obligation to help where I can and whenever I can,” he said. “This is a great opportunity, with my background, my passion and my love for people to facilitate some change in the community that definitely deserves it.” The EAT Café will have a changing daily menu consisting of a three-course meal, which includes a soup or salad, a main course and a dessert. There will also be vegetarian and glutenfree options. The restaurant will receive donations from Giant

EAT Café hopes to provide healthy, three-course meals to those with lower incomes, as well as spurring dialogue between people in different socioeconomic and lifestyle situations.

Grocery, Metropolitan Bakery and La Colombe. Jones will focus on using more vegetables in the dishes similarly to how most countries around the world eat, where people consume one or two proteins a week. “I knew from my previous work experiences, how to take a little something and if you add some produce and good seasoning, you can make a lot of high quality

meals out of the scarcity of available resources,” he said. By using volunteers, creating relationships with local organizations and allowing community members to pay it forward for their fellow neighbors, the cafe‘s managers hope to build a community. Running a nonprofit pay-whatyou-can restaurant provides the challenge of bringing in enough guests who can pay full price, which offsets the costs of the reduced-price meals. Jones expects the cafe to create a space where people with more resources can participate in a meaningful community experience by giving healthy food to their neighbors with lower incomes. Jessica Chen, co-founder of the Healthy Food Truck Initiative, said EAT Café is a great idea and is looking forward to supporting a restaurant that improves healthy

food options in Philadelphia. “I think it is great how they are using food as a mechanism for bringing a community together,” she said. “EAT Café also serves as a signal that there is a demand for healthy food and it addresses the food swamps that have been historically in West Philadelphia.” There are 40 pay-what-youcan restaurants across the United States and Europe, including Jon Bon Jovi’s restaurant JBJ Soul Kitchen, where the menu items have no prices and patrons can pay what they can or volunteer in the restaurant in order to pay for their meals. “We look forward to changing the tide,” Jones said. “It is going to be slow at first, but after a couple months or a year we hope to see people start to embrace not just the cafe but to also embrace the community by way of food.”

Women’s Week speaker addresses transgender power Janet Mock’s event rounded off the week NADIA KIM Contributing Reporter

“My biggest moral tenet is leave people the f*** alone.” This mantra may sound extreme to some, but it’s part of writer, TV host and transgender rights activist Janet Mock’s belief that empowerment means having your autonomy respected. On Saturday, Mock came to

to take their hands off of her as she was pushed towards the door. Brennan addressed the use of drones, explaining “this administration has made the criteria very rigorous as far as what are the conditions where such actions would be taken.” He said the effect of drone strikes on civilians is often exaggerated. “I know there are a lot of reports about hundreds upon thousands of innocents who have been killed as a result of these strikes,” he said. “I can tell you with great confidence that those are exceptionally exaggerated reports... the number of civilians killed relative to the number of terrorists killed is a very small portion.” Soon after, two more protesters — including Engineering junior and member of Students for a Democratic Society Lucas Lipatti — stood up to chant. They were quickly escorted out of the auditorium. The event was organized by the Fels Institute of Government in partnership with Penn Law, The Christopher Browne Center for International Politics, Perry World House and Fox Leadership. Attendees were required to register in advance and show identification at the door.

Penn as the keynote speaker for Women’s Week 2016. A trans woman of African-American and Hawaiian descent, Mock is a strong advocate for intersectional discourse and is one of the most influential trans women in the media. The moderated discussion was hosted by Penn Association for Gender Equity and was the culminating event of the week, centered on the theme of “empowerment.” She described this as, “Knowing, deep down, that you have control of your circumstances.

Knowing you have the power to do whatever you want to do and not be judged or punished for the things you do in your life.” Mock also addressed the nuances and complexities of her experience and identity as a trans woman. She recognized her own “pretty privilege” — her ability to “pass” as a cisgender woman and thus gain access into certain spaces — that not all trans people have. “But you can’t strip that away from the racialized and gendered dynamics of who I am,” she said.

“Even if I’m passing in the world as this fly ass black girl with big hair and boobs ... I’m still existing as a black girl in the world — and I don’t know how much we can say that black people’s bodies are safe, period.” Mock’s words were welcomed by snaps of agreement from the audience. “I have privilege, but it’s also been complicated by other intersections,” she said. Mock also addressed criticism of her book, “Redefining Realness,” which some have

In between the interruptions, Brennan shared his views on Edward Snowden, cultural changes in the Middle East and how the media distorts the efforts of the CIA. He also cracked jokes. “What do you say when you go to a cocktail party?” Margolies asked at one point. “Well, usually by the time I’m at the party, they know me — or I know them,” Brannan said as the audience laughed. Brennan was interrupted for a third time during the question and answer session when two more protesters began chanting, “the CIA is a terrorist group; human torture is a crime.” “We’ve heard your views, we respect your views,” Ruger responded. “What you’re doing now is silencing speech.” After the third interruption, the moderator decided to end the event. Members of the audience gave Brennan a standing ovation at Margolies’ request. Although the protesters inside the building were not all Penn-affiliated, several Penn students and members of SDS protested outside on the Museum’s steps. Members of the group handed out flyers, reading: “This event is being disrupted because John Brennan is the head of the most destructive terrorist organization in the world today, the CIA.” Lipatti said the protesters

referenced the Black Lives Matter movement because “we connect the struggle against imperialism and neocolonialism at home and abroad.” College freshman and SDS member Daniel Pitt responded to the accusation that the protesters were silencing speech, saying, “I don’t think there’s any reason to allow speech that supports apartheid, that supports literal genocide...” The Statesman, a conservative-leaning publication at Penn, created an online petition following the event, urging SDS to apologize for disrupting Brennan’s talk. “We definitely recognize that people have different opinions, but the way they went about displaying their concerns wasn’t the right approach,” Editor-in-Chief of the Statesman Maria Biery told the Daily Pennsylvanian on Sunday. “By shutting down the

conversation, nobody learned anything from that.” Penn SDS posted a response on their Facebook page, criticizing what they said were inaccuracies in The Statesman’s account of the event and refusing to apologize. “We encourage dialogue about the role of campus activism in shaping intellectual discourse” they wrote. College sophomore Jed Dale, who attended the event, expressed criticism of the protesters’ actions. “Even if they just stood up once, said it, and then left, that would have been enough,” he said. “It went on far too long and was not nearly articulate enough to really do much of anything.” Wharton freshman Midhun Salim also expressed criticism. “It was quite disappointing,” he said. “I assumed that if they had a valid point of view they would engage them intellectually.”

non-cisgender women. Mock revealed that she is currently working on her next book, which will be out next year. She is also producing “The Trans List,” an HBO documentary and portrait project that shares the stories of trans people. She expressed her desire to see more and more platforms like these for trans people to talk about their experiences, and to “realize that we don’t exist in these vacuums and silos, but that we have people that we love and that love us.”

CIA Director John Brennan was interrupted by protesters during his talk at Penn on Friday.

College freshman Justin Bean noted the lack of dialogue between the protesters and the moderators and speaker. “The moderator offered them an opportunity to hear their concerns voiced and answered by the

Director of the CIA, and she did it very respectfully and was patient — and waited — when she didn’t really have to be,” he said. “And yet instead of trying to open up a dialogue, they tried to shut it down,” he added.

Politics are finding their home online nowadays. Facebook groups, Tumblr communities and Reddit threads provide virtually unlimited space for people to be immersed in supposed political utopias from Bernie Bro-ism to revolutionary anarchy to white supremacy. “Social justice” is one particularly strong platform which has grown infamous online and in real life. The core tenets of this ideology are usually rooted in American academia and civil rightsera discourse. At its most basic, the ideology holds that society is based on a historical structure of institutionalized privilege and oppression that exacerbate each other. Terms like privilege, people of color and institutionalized racism all stem from this understanding. Overall, the principles of the ideology are fairly clear and are accepted by many young liberals, and in particular, the typical East Coast college kid who, say, is interested in combating institutionalized oppression and firmly espouses the beliefs of Bernie Sanders. With online activism now coming into focus, the social

justice movement is by no means constrained to American shores. And that may have its pros and cons. A pertinent aspect of the social justice movement is its commitment to paying equal attention to — and calling out — gross injustices overseas that are connected to the same issues that young people here feel strongly about. For example, a recently circulated boycott list enumerated beauty companies that sell skin-brightening products in Asia, lamenting the pervasiveness of Eurocentric beauty ideals. Only a Westerner could find such a boycott feasible, because really, every beauty company — at least in Singapore — seems to offer these kinds of products. For me, moving here meant meeting the kinds of people whose discourse I read online, whose ideas I had seen transposed to concepts in the country I was living in. For example, I saw the term “Chinese privilege” being used online to discuss the systematic privilege Chinese citizens enjoy in Singapore’s multiracial society. The discrimination has been pointed out before — Man-

darin is often required in jobs and pale and delicate Chinese features are more advertised than darker, broader Malay and Indian ones. Malays and Indians are also stereotyped as lazy and dirty. Using an American social justice framework in this context makes sense. It helps to make visible a phenomenon that people have observed without naming or synthesiz-

end there. Because at its core, the American social justice movement relies on an understanding of oppression as institutionalized — in an American context. Despite the global nature of things like colonialism and capitalism, a country’s history is inexorable from its present. An issue I grappled with before I had adequate under-

The most appealing part of the social justice framework is that it allows for an understanding of radical politics to seep beyond academic texts and into mainstream online conversation. But the benefits seem to

standing of either side of the issue was that of “affirmative action” in Malaysia, which has a similar multiracial appearance to Singapore. To a Western liberal, the policy is appealing in name, especially when coupled with statistics of Chinese economic superi-

ority over Malays in the country. But of course the situation isn’t that simple. In the United States, white privilege is clearly embedded in a history of oppression through slavery and discrimination. But Malaysia’s history is colonial in nature. Until recent urban migration, Malays lived in rural villages while Chinese were typically involved in business. To make up for this today, Malays are favored in the Malay constitution and hold extensive political power. To explain the situation in all the nuance it deserves would require going into historical detail that can’t be as easily established as by simply drawing a parallel to some story in the West. The political and racial situation in Malaysia is not analogous to the one in the United States, and the same solutions do not apply. We shouldn’t be so bold as to think that social justice operates the same way worldwide. Like all models, its ability to be used the same way across all cases is limited. Rather, it should be used as a lens through which we can effectively explore and seek to explain more about

Last week was April Fool’s Day, the one day a year where terrible pranks and general mean-spirited jokes are both acceptable and expected. Reddit, a popular online forum site, has once again created a social experiment to celebrate the occasion. Last year, Reddit created what would become known simply as “The Button.” This experiment was extremely simple: Reddit placed a 60-second timer along with a button on its home page. Every time a user clicks the button the timer returns to the full 60 seconds. Everyone had only one allotted button click. This simple concept led to weeks of online conspiracies, faction forming and even pseudo-religions based on a simple click of the mouse. This year, Reddit has created a more nuanced and more interesting experiment called “Robin,” a random user chat similar to Omegle. You enter the chat and are immediately paired

with another random user, and have two minutes to chat during the first round. The interesting part is the voting. During each round all members of the chat have a chance to vote on the outcome of the chat. The options are as follows: ABANDON — if you vote this you will leave the chat at the end of the allotted time; STAY — if the majority of chatters vote this option, then a permanent space will be created for all the users to chat; and GROW — if a majority of users vote this option then at the end of the allotted time, the group will merge with a similarly-sized group and therefore grow in number of users. I played out this experiment several times, each one unique in unexpected ways. I had a pairing with a man from Kentucky who wrote lyrics to Willie Nelson songs the whole time. I joined a group of 20-ish Redditors who attempted to turn our small group into a democratic autoc-

racy. I even became part of a group of more than 60 chatters divided into all-out war over a newly created religion worshipping the supermarket chain Costco. Out of the dozen or so “interactions,” I found one to be exceptionally meaningful. I found myself a

chat and discuss life with the strangers who were now friends. After the success of this interaction I began to wonder: Could I have such a meaningful experience with 16 strangers face-toface? Probably not. Something changes in a face-toface encounter. Even in a

group of strangers, when talking face-to-face, you bring with you your insecurities, your fears, your self-consciousness and your desire to quickly fit in. It changes an interaction from something possibly meaningful to a chess match: figuring out the

words to say and the way to act in order to quickly fit in and assimilate into the group. Earlier this year I wrote a piece on the necessity of an anonymous internet; Robin is the perfect defense of this. Reddit has, possibly unknowingly, created a space for strangers to come together regardless of background, race, religion, age, country, insecurities, failures, status or baggage to have bizarre, interesting, unforgettable and once in awhile extremely meaningful and rewarding conversations. I do not need to explain that the internet is an amazing place — you all know this — but maybe I do need to persuade you to use it differently.

Philo hosts foreign policy speaker Amtrak derails, leaves two dead

John Mearsheimer discussed Middle East policy CARL-EMMANUEL FULGHIERI Contributing Reporter

Renowned political scientist John Mearsheimer thinks the current state of United States foreign policy is a disaster. Students and faculty packed into Harrison Auditorium Thursday night to hear Mearsheimer deliver a lecture titled “U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East Since 9/11: One Disaster after Another.” He gave an overview of U.S. involvement in the Middle East, touching on the Iran deal and ISIS and providing his thoughts on which presidential candidate is most qualified in foreign policy. The Philomathean Society, with the support of 13 co-sponsors, invited Mearsheimer as their Annual Orator, maintaining

a history of holding free public events to intellectually engage Penn’s campus. Mearsheimer presented a critical review of U.S. Middle East strategy since 9/11 and reproached the “regime change” approach of former president Bush and President Obama, stating, “There is not much difference between George W. Bush and Barack Obama … they look like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.” He described a pessimistic future for an IsraeliPalestinian resolution and the “stunning failures” of U.S. action in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Egypt. Despite his criticism, he expressed support for the Iranian nuclear deal, describing it as “a plus on an otherwise abysmal wreck.” However, he stated the critical importance that the United States “go to great lengths to have

a rapprochement with the Iranians over the next 15 years so they don’t want nuclear weapons.” Mearsheimer expressed concern over the stances of the current U.S. presidential candidates. He quoted several Republican-frontrunners who all pledged to reverse the Iran Deal and criticized Hillary Clinton, whom he described as hawkish, while expressing support for Bernie Sanders. “Hillary is not the best in this regard; Bernie Sanders is,” he said. “I don’t think we’re gonna have good relations with Iran if she gets elected.” Interested students and faculty met with Mearsheimer at a tea prior to the Oration, where they enjoyed casual conversation with the political scientist, as well as in a reception following the talk. College sophomore and Philomathean Society member Leo Page-Blau, who organized

Thursday’s programming, said he wanted to facilitate as much interaction between Penn students and the visiting scholar as possible. “While having big name speakers and prominent academics on campus is nothing new, it is unique in that this event seeks to provide maximum access to everyone on Penn’s campus … our goal is to promote intellectual discussion and thought for everyone,” he said. College freshman John Odera, a prospective philosophy and political science major, said he wished the lecture was more specialized, but was happy that he got to interact with him at the reception. “I wish the talk provided more specific information than what one could get from reading The Economist, but I understand that he was presenting to a general audience,” he said. “I am grateful he came and that I could speak with him freely.”

Train derailed in Chester, Pa. after hitting backhoe REMI LEDERMAN Staff Reporter

An Amtrak train was derailed Sunday morning, leaving two dead and 35 injured a mere 15 miles outside Philadelphia in Chester, Pa., the Chester Fire Department told CNN. The train crashed into a backhoe with two construction workers in it and derailed. There were seven crew members and 341 passengers on the train. According to CNN, passengers could tell that something was wrong, and some speculated that they might have been passing through a construction site after feeling gravel and debris on the tracks.

The train remained upright and only the lead engine of the train was derailed. The brunt of the impact was felt by the first car, which had its roof torn open and some windows broken. The accident comes less than a year after another Amtrak train derailed outside Philadelphia on its route from Washington D.C. to New York. The crash, which happened on May 12, killed eight and left more than 200 injured. The incident is also reminiscent of another Amtrak train derailment that happened last month in Kansas when the train fell over, injuring 32 passengers. It is unknown if “Positive Train Control,” a system that automatically stops or slows a speeding train, had been installed in this train.

Undeterred, the violently ill Quaker continued the match and watched his opponent double fault, tying the game up at five. “All I said was ‘I am not going

to lose this match,’” Pompan said. “I was cramping and not feeling well but Coach [David] Geatz and Coach Ward just kept telling me to pull through. I was ready to pass out at any time but I kept thinking to myself to just take it one point at a time, one shot at a time and do what

we practiced. It was great.” It was over after that. Pompan, with all the momentum and confidence, held to go up 6-5 and then broke again to win, 6-7, 6-4, 7-5. His teammates piled on top of him. Penn had won, 4-3. Penn head coach David Geatz

couldn’t help but marvel at Pompan’s resolve as well as his team’s undefeated opening weekend in Ancient Eight play. “We’re 2-0 and on top of the Ivy League right now, so it feels great,” Geatz said. “We just won [one] of the most exciting matches I’ve ever seen

in college tennis. “I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a match with more drama and you couldn’t have scripted it any better for us. Josh won six games in a row in a pressure situation with everyone screaming and yelling against a good opponent. That’s not easy to

do and it’s a great accomplishment.” From a straightforward win against Yale to Pompan’s heroics against Brown, the Quakers sit at the top of the Ivy League standings after a fantastic weekend topped off with possibly the most thrilling match in Penn tennis history.

Quakers hit highs, lows in pair of home splits SOFTBALL | Dramatic

walk off in series finale TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor

The following things happened to Penn softball this weekend: They went to extra innings. They got run-ruled. They enjoyed a walk-off win. And star pitcher Alexis Sargent looked very, very human. But once the dust settled, the result was anything but dramatic. The Red and Blue split a pair of doubleheaders versus Brown and Yale to get off to a blase .500

start to Ivy play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stuck at in that second game after getting our butts spanked in the first one,â&#x20AC;? Penn coach Leslie King said following the Saturday contests versus the Bulldogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this sport, you have to be resilient and persevere.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers (13-11, 2-2 Ivy) kicked off play versus Brown (13-10, 2-2) on Friday. Sargent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing a miniscule 0.93 earned run average into the weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pitched well for the first seven innings, sending the game into extras locked in a 1-1 tie. However, things fell apart in the top of the eighth, as Brown third baseman Christina Andrews

launched a three-run homer to break the game open in an eventual 5-1 win. In the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second contest, Lauren Li and Mason Spichiger combined on a five-hit shutout, April fooling the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats while the offense managed to scrape together a pair of runs batted in from Li and sophomore catcher Jurie Joyner. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game was undoubtedly the low point of the weekend for the Quakers, as Yale (9-17, 2-2) scored early and often in a 9-0 fiveinning, mercy-rule victory. In a strange twist of fate, Penn lost both games started by Sargent, the three-time defending Ivy pitcher of the week. Though her season ERA managed to nearly double during the weekend, the junior still leads the conference with a 1.68 mark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to maintain the kind of form that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had a little bit of a rough weekend, but I expect her to bounce back.â&#x20AC;? If Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game was rock bottom for Penn, then the nightcap was just the opposite. After a seven-hit, five-run third for the Quakers, the game went to the bottom of the seventh tied,

5-5. After freshman infielder Sam Pederson and senior outfielder Kanani Datan led off the frame with singles, a sacrifice bunt from Li moved them into scoring position. Junior standout Leah Allen then knocked a sharp grounder to second baseman Laina Do, who threw wildly to the plate while Pederson slid in with the winning run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a play where if we have runners on second and third, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going on contact,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it hard to make that play at the plate. Sam made a good hard slide, and we got a break for a change.â&#x20AC;? After going the distance in the victory, Spichiger picked up her second win of the weekend. Though the weekend split was not the ideal outcome for the Quakers, not many Ivy teams, especially those in the South Division, have managed to distance themselves from the pack in the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parity in the league is very high right now,â&#x20AC;? King said, noting that both Brown and Yale have improved dramatically from poor showings in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [series] splits all over the place ... to get a split is almost expected

Freshman infielder Sam Pederson fueled a winning rally in the final game of the weekend, singling and scoring the winning run in the 7th.

right now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy with it.â&#x20AC;? The Red and Blue will next be in action on Tuesday, as they will head to Villanova â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a campus which will possibly be reveling in a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball championship. As this weekend showed, the Quakers seem to enjoy winning

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and losing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in dramatic fashion. And assuming that this weekend was merely an aberration for the typically stellar Sargent, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reason to believe that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing far more of the former.

Mattisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;fixed possessive pedigree, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncharacteristic for throwers to hold back during the first half of the season. While they may have traveled to Texas in hopes of warmer weather, the Quakers were met with unseasonably cold temperatures. This would seem to help explain Mattisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10th-place finish in the field. The alarms shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be going off because of his performance, though. Throwing coach Tony Tenisci has explained in the past that throwers often face disadvantages in colder temperatures. As if his performance at last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final meet wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to indicate a promising senior campaign for Mattis, he is coming off of two straight USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week awards and is looking as strong as ever. Mattis has recorded the top ten throws thus far in the NCAA season and set the American

collegiate record with a 67.45m heave in March. The women also enjoyed a good deal of success, racing to impressive times in all three locales. Junior Ashley Montgomery provided the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest highlight, notching a 16:08.64 mark in the 5K â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the best time in the Ivy League this season by 11 seconds. The Whiting sisters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; juniors Cleo and Clarissa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also impressed in the event, each registering a top-five all-time Penn time. Me a nwh i le, sophomor e sprinter Taylor McCorkle raced to an impressive time of 24.05 seconds in the 200m, a career best. Junior Ella Wurth also posted a lifetime best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of four Quaker women to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as she posted a 2:11.39 in the 800m. Next weekend the team will head to just one place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charlottesvilles, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in hopes of better weather and continued success.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew that if we could win those draws I felt pretty confident that we could score because we had been shooting really well and really taking advantage of their defense,â&#x20AC;? Corbett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our attack took it to them, and I was really proud of our team in how we really just owned those ground balls today.â&#x20AC;? But at the end of the day, a win is a win, and Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Northwestern on Sunday was certainly a big victory. The last time the Quakers walked away from their annual contest with the Wildcats on top was in 2008, a year when Penn held the top ranking in the country for multiple weeks and advanced all the way to the championship game in the NCAA Tournament. The win on Sunday was key in re-establishing momentum for the Quakers, who recently sputtered through two losses to No. 1 Maryland on March 23 and a

heartbreaking 10-9 overtime upset loss to Dartmouth on March 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter who you play. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play up for certain teams and just show up for other teams. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work that way,â&#x20AC;? said Corbett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were beat by Dartmouth so now people think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beatable.â&#x20AC;? Although the Ivy loss to the Big Green does not help Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest to finish back on top of the Ivy League after failing to take home its ninth consecutive Ivy title in 2015, the season is far from over. Wins in each of the final five conference games of the season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including tilts against Cornell and Princeton, the Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only two undefeated squads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could secure Penn a share of the Ivy crown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The destiny of the season is still in our hands,â&#x20AC;? said Corbett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is on the line with every Ivy game.â&#x20AC;?

His 11th-place finish of 20.95 seconds was the third-fastest time run in Penn history and shattered his previous best sprint of 21.52 seconds. Rogers wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only member of the Red and Blue who made his way into the top five of the Penn record book this weekend. Junior steeplechaser Nick Tuck, junior distance runner Brendan Shearn and sophomore high jumper Mike Monroe also penned their names into Penn history in their respective events. Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump of 2.15 meters was not only the third highest mark in program history, but it was also good enough to earn him fourth-place honors in Gainesville. Two other Quakers, junior Chris Hatler and sophomore Jeff Wiseman also set personal bests in their 800-meter races with times of 1:50.80 and 1:51.65, respectively. Senior distance runner Thomas Awad led another group of Quakers out west to the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif. On the other end of the country, the All-American from East Norwich, N.Y., was phenomenal as usual in his 5,000-meter run. He finished fourth in the top heat, a group that included adult non-collegiate runners, with an incredible time of 13:41.77. Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other star male track and field athlete, senior Sam Mattis, was bound for the Texas Relays in Austin. The defending NCAA champion in the discus throw was joined by fellow thrower Noah Kennedy-White. Mattis threw for 53.76m while Kennedy-White was just behind his teammate with a throw of 53.32m. Their numbers may not have been all too impressive, especially considering

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a kid thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be shut down and really works her butt off to be the catalyst for this team,â&#x20AC;? Corbett said of the attack. Although Corbett was thrilled that her team was able to pull out a win, the game should not have had to come down to a heroic goal from Corcoran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was 12-5 with a lot of time left on the clock,â&#x20AC;? Corbett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the ball and they kept winning draw after draw after draw.â&#x20AC;? While the Wildcats may have dominated possessions in the second half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; scoring six unanswered goals at one point â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn was able to fend off its opponent with masterful efficiency on offense.

want to be. Even though we kept telling our guys to attack and keep doing the things that got us to that point, I think in the back of their heads they were just trying to hold on, and that’s not the way we want to finish the game.” The schedule doesn’t get easier for the Red and Blue anytime soon, as their next game is at home against a No. 3 Brown team with a lot of firepower. The Quakers have three Ivy games remaining this season, and they will likely have to be on their best performance for each and every

one. They must secure a top-four position in the conference to get a bid to the Ivy tournament, a difficult feat in a season where the Ivy League has a number of the top teams in the nation. “You feel sick losing that game. It could cost us a lot of things — an Ivy Tournament berth, an NCAA Tournament berth — this loss could come back to haunt us,” Murphy said. “But at the same time, we’re going to grow a lot from this. We made a lot of improvements from last week to this week, so if we can do that again, we’ll be better and hopefully that will show against Brown.”

PENN 19 3 YALE

Penn baseball started Ivy League play with a loss, but quickly worked to erase any memory of it this weekend. After falling in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader to Brown, 8-5, the Quakers won a 3-1 pitchers duel to split the day. Less than 24 hours later, the Red and Blue were back at Meiklejohn Stadium, working their way to a sweep over Yale with 3-2 and 19-3 decisions. In the weekend’s opening contest, Penn (10-12, 3-1 Ivy) found itself down early after the Bears (7-13, 1-3) tacked on three second-inning runs. The deficit would have been sizable on its own, but Brown wasn’t done yet. An RBI double from Bears’ sophomore Sam Grigo was followed by a single from junior Josh Huntley to plate another in the third — quickly making it 5-0. Heading into the bottom of the fourth down 6-0, the young Quakers’ squad could have taken a loss in hand and begun focusing on the latter contest of the day. They didn’t. Freshman Sean Phelan started the inning off with a solo home run, followed by an RBI triple from freshman Matt O’Neill a few batters later. Freshman Matt Tola plated O’Neill to make it 6-3 and the Red and Blue were right back in the ballgame. An RBI single from Phelan made it 6-4 in the fifth, but that was the closest Penn would get.

made it 8-4 and, though O’Neill hit home another run in the seventh, there wasn’t enough time to make it all the way back. “The way the league’s set up, you have to get over it pretty quickly because you’re going to play four on the weekend,” Penn coach John Yurkow said. The Quakers did just that. Following the 8-5 defeat, the Red and Blue pitching took over. Working six scoreless innings, junior pitcher Gabe Kleiman allowed just four hits. But he would need some offense for the win. Although the game entered the bottom of the sixth scoreless, O’Neill provided the offensive spark Penn needed, breaking the tie with an RBI double. Two more runs followed that inning, and the Red and Blue eventually took the 3-0 lead into the ninth. Freshman Jake Nelson entered to close

things out. Although he found himself in some early trouble — allowing one run to score and the tying run to make its way to second — a game-ending double play sealed the deal — and the Quakers’ first Ivy win. “If you’re going to win a championship, you’re going to have to win close games,” Yurkow said. “That’s what it comes down to. And we did that.” Yet the weekend was not done, as the Bulldogs (6-17-1, 2-2) took their turn visiting University City. The Elis took an early lead on Sunday, as sophomore Billy Lescher conceded two runs in the second inning. From there, Lescher was in total control. Working a complete game — albeit seven innings because of the doubleheader — Yale couldn’t score another run, striking out 10 times in the process.

Thanks to Lescher’s lockdown performance, Penn needed just three runs to log its second straight win. That’s exactly what they got. A solo shot from senior Ryan Mincher got the Quakers on the board in the second before Tola’s two-run single with two strikes on him in the fourth made it 3-2. And that’s where things stood three innings later as the Red and Blue took home the win. Not ready to rest on their laurels, the Quakers came out firing in the weekend’s final contest. Back-to-back home runs from senior Gary Tesch and junior Tim Graul started things off, followed a few innings later by a two-run homer from Mincher and a three-run blast from senior Matt Greskoff. It was quickly 8-0, and the Red and Blue didn’t look back. “We were more consistent today,” Yurkow noted. “We cut down on the strikeouts, did a good job with two strikes. Their arms got some balls up in the strike zone and we made them pay.” When junior pitcher Mike Reitcheck left the mound in the seventh, his squad held a 12-1 advantage, and the game had long been all but over. A few more insurance runs in the eighth were capped off by a grand slam from Tesch to make it 19-3 before Penn mercifully and quickly closed out the ninth. “One of the things we preach to our team is that you’ve got to win every series,” Yurkow said. “If you can get three out of four every weekend then, at the end of the year, you’re going to be in great shape.”

John L. Anderson, PhD Former President Illinois Institute of Technology

Since 1952, the Faculty Senate at Penn has served as the representative voice for full-time teaching faculty. As an institution, Penn embraces a vision of shared governance in which the faculty is regularly consulted on academic issues and in which faculty views can influence university policies.

Nancy Cantor, PhD Chancellor Rutgers University - Newark

Hall of Flags | Houston Hall

Much attention has been paid in recent years to shifts in academic governance responsibilities. A 2013 issue of Peer Review (published by the Association of American Colleges and Universities) examines faculty roles within the university. David Paris writes that the “traditional faculty situation” is “disappearing;” instead “many of the things faculty members used to do—course design, selection of materials, creation of assignments, and assessment—are increasingly being organized by administrators and specialists and then turned over to often peripatetic adjuncts. ” Roger Benjamin cites the increasing fragmentation of the faculty within universities (and their isolation within their various schools and departments) as having weakened shared governance ideals on which the university systems were formed. Further, Trusteeship magazine recommends that effective shared governance requires periodic assessment of its current state and creation of action plans for improvement. The Symposium will foster a discussion about the novel stresses that leading American universities currently face with respect to their traditional missions. The panelists will share their perspectives both as leaders of major research universities and as esteemed academicians.

MATT FINE Associate Sports Editor

This was no country club tennis match. In a frenzied atmosphere at the Hecht Tennis Center on Sunday, Penn men’s tennis took on Brown to complete their opening weekend of Ivy League play. After beating Yale, 5-2 — in a match that saw the Quakers win the doubles point and four of the six singles matches over the Bulldogs (12-8, 0-2 Ivy) in relatively simple, straight-set fashion on Saturday — Sunday’s match was a whole different story, as the Red and Blue won, 4-3, with tremendous drama. From the outset, both teams were loud. In behavior unusual for tennis, each squad seemed to be taunting and screaming directly at the opposing players, even during points. After winning the doubles point, the rest of the day would be defined by several massive momentum swings in singles. Brown (8-14, 0-2) came out and won the No. 1 and 2 singles positions, as Penn freshman Kyle Mautner and senior Vim de Alwis lost in straight sets. At the Nos. 3 and 4 positions, with Penn (7-11, 2-0) leading 3-2 and needing to win only one of the two remaining singles marches, things got absolutely wild. Junior Matt Nardella split the opening two sets before finding himself down 5-3 in the third. He knotted the score up at five, and the entire crowd erupted, sensing a Red and Blue Victory. However, he dropped the next two games to lose 7-5 in the third. With the match tied 3-3, it all came down to sophomore Josh Pompan. Pompan, who had woken up Sunday morning with the stomach flu, lost the first set in a tiebreaker to Brown’s No. 3 singles player Mladen Mitak. As Nardella lost, the Quakers were hopeful Pompan could force and then win a third set. His opponent was confident, ripping flat groundstrokes as Pompan scrambled to stay in points. Not playing his best tennis, Pompan still managed to win the second. The match came down to one final set. With a packed Hecht Tennis Center and both teams lining the court, tensions were elevated. Despite long, hard-fought points, the match seemed to be over when Pompan went down 5-1. Looking exhausted from being sick and the grueling points he was playing, he put his head down and got to work. Slowly but surely, he fought his way back and suddenly he held serve to get the score to 5-4 and the home crowd erupted. It was time for his Michael Jordan “flu game” moment. As he changed sides, Pompan vomited on the court, causing a brief delay in the action.

No. 8 Northwestern with Corcoran goal LAINE HIGGINS Sports Editor

58 seconds was an auspicious number for Penn women’s lacrosse on Sunday. 58 seconds was all it took for senior Iris Williamson to net the Quakers’ first goal at Franklin Field against perennial powerhouse Northwestern, currently ranked eighth in the country. 58 seconds was also all it took for fellow senior Nina Corcoran to give No. 16 Penn the 14-13 win in overtime and defeat the eighth-ranked Wildcats (4-6, 0-1 Big Ten) for the first time since 2008. “The reason we won was really the attack,” Penn coach Karin Corbett said. “Iris Williamson set the tone from the get go. I think she was unstoppable.” Williamson exploded in the first frame, scoring four goals for the Quakers (7-3, 1-1 Ivy) and tallying one assist to help put Penn up 7-4 at the intermission. In the second half, Corcoran stole the show, joining Williamson with five points on the day with four secondhalf assists and the game-winner in overtime. “Last year [Nina] had a chance to win the game in overtime and it was a similar situation — it hit the pipe and they got it and then scored,” Corbett said of last year’s 9-8 overtime loss in Evanston, Ill. “It was really fitting that Nina was able to close the game out. A sign of Corcoran’s playmaking ability, the senior’s four assists on Sunday made her only the second player in Penn program history to record 100 assists. “She’s just a kid that’s not going to be shut down and SEE W.

Heartbreaking. That’s the only word needed to describe the Penn men’s lacrosse team’s 11-10 overtime loss to the top team in the nation, Ivy rival Yale. The Quakers (5-4, 2-1 Ivy) got off to a great start against the No. 1 Bulldogs (8-0, 3-0 Ivy), taking a 7-4 lead into halftime before scoring two more goals in the third quarter to bring the score to 9-4 with six minutes remaining in the third quarter. But the Bulldogs comeback began with a stroke of luck two minutes later, as a Quaker defenseman broke his stick, allowing Yale’s Michael Keasey to score

his second goal of the game. After conceding a goal off an odd-man rush a minute later to make the score 9-6, the Red and Blue relinquished momentum to the Bulldogs, allowing them to score three more goals in the fourth quarter to bring the score to a tie at 9-9. Penn would gain the lead one more time, however, as sophomore Reilly Hupfeldt put the Quakers up 10-9 for his 15th goal of the year off a feed from senior captain Nick Doktor. But the lead would not last, as Keasey would pick an opportune time to get his fourth goal of the day, scoring Yale’s first extra-man opportunity goal off of a pushing penalty with just 17 seconds left in the game. Three minutes into overtime, Yale’s Ben Reeves would score his 21st goal of the season and first of the day to send the

Quakers back to Philadelphia with a painful loss. Senior captain Nick Doktor finished with five points on the day (two goals, three assists) while freshman Simon Mathias finished the game with a hat trick. Penn dramatically improved its faceoff game from previous games in dominant fashion, winning 18 of 25 for its highest percentage of the season. Freshman goalie Reed Junkin finished with eight saves. “I think our issue today was that we were looking at the scoreboard too much,” Penn coach Mike Murphy said. “Going from 9-5 to 9-6 was an odd-man rush, and I feel like our guys felt that goal a little too much. We’re a young team, so I think we may not be as good at responding to these types of things yet as we SEE M. LAX PAGE 11
