THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

TAKING NO CHANCES Behind the scenes, SPEC makes sure every detail is in place before the concert

It ’s sunny and beautiful when I arrive at Franklin Field on April 15. While other Penn students are finishing up class and heading to daytime parties by the time I arrive at about 4 p.m., the members of the Social Planning and Events Committee Concerts started their day at 7:30 a.m. I walk over to the Franklin Field ticket office to pick up my yellow press pass. Other SPEC members also wear their credentials around their necks and sport a uniform of white staff shirts. As I enter the stadium, the field looks just like it would on any other day. Members of the track team are running their sprints and testing their jumps in the long jump sand pit.

MARCHING AGAINST GENTRIFICATION PAGE 2

But there is a large stage facing the bleachers — one that will host 3LAU and Chance the Rapper tonight. Other students are running around lifting bike racks into long lines in order to “section off areas and direct traffic” SPEC Concerts Director and Engineering junior Kelsey Simet says. I head back inside and enter a room dubbed the “Committee Room,” a gathering area for SPEC members who are part of the planning process. As the directors pace around, bags of chips are strewn on the tables and empty boxes of Jimmy John’s. The room itself is large with wood panels, a carpeted floor and portraits of Penn Athletics alumni. Just across the hall, I can see a room blocked off by black curtains — 3LAU’s dressing room, a committee member tells me. “Now is a good time to charge your phone,” Simet announces. Members scramble to find open outlets along the wall, while the lucky ones have portable chargers. The front door of the SEE FLING PAGE 2

Despite meticulous planning, SPEC faces last second hurdles when Chance almost cancels This year’s Fling concert marked another success for the members of the Social Planning and Events Committee Concerts — but it was a show that almost didn’t go on. This past Friday, concert headliner Chance the Rapper almost cancelled his performance due to illness. SPEC Concerts directors received a call from Chance’s management partway through opener 3LAU’s set, detailing his reasons for cancellation. Later on stage, after he appeared over an hour after the end of 3LAU’s performance, Chance also directly referenced the situation and said that “[he] actually almost cancelled the show tonight.” During the concert, he also referenced his health. “It’s really f**king cold… I might just get pneumonia,” he said. But, he continued on with his performance. SPEC Concerts Director and College senior Spencer Jaffe affirmed Chance’s statements on stage.

“The situation was very much like what he said in the concert,” Jaffe said. “He almost cancelled because he was very sick, and we got a call pretty late in the game, which was obviously a little bit stressful.” Luckily for SPEC Concerts, however, Chance did not call off his show. After reassessing his health, he decided that he was feeling well enough to perform. Jaffe said that before he arrived at Penn, Chance was in his hotel room in Philadelphia. Jaffe also added that the call that they received from Chance was a discussion rather than an official cancellation. “What really caused the delay was him understanding how he was feeling so that he could come to a decision,” Jaffe said. At the time of this discussion, the SPEC Concerts directors had not fully formulated a backup plan, but planned to remain transparent about the situation. “We hadn’t fully thought about another plan,” Jaffe said. “We were SEE CHANCE PAGE 2

Prof. apologizes after suicide comment Arthur Dunham said his statement was ‘insensitive’

We must recognize and discuss the intersection of mental health with other issues.”

VIBHA KANNAN Deputy News Editor

Penn, like many Ivy League schools, has grappled with the impact of academic pressure on students’ mental health. The difficulty and complexity of the issue resurfaced last week when Penn professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Biology Arthur Dunham made a comment in his lecture that several students found to be insensitive, especially given the recent death of Wharton junior Ao “Olivia” Kong by suicide. In his April 13 lecture, when Dunham was explaining grading policies and whether students should decide to take a particular exam, he made this comment to the class, which was included in the professor’s recording of the lecture, which he posted to Canvas: “Some people are delirious if they’re getting a B or a B+. Some people want to go out and jump off a bridge if they’re getting a B or a B+, I can’t judge that,” he said. “So you’ve got to decide what you can settle for and all of that. I take no personal responsibility for any suicides that happen as a result of my grading.”

A few days after Dunham had made this comment, he posted an apology letter onto Canvas, which he also shared with The Daily Pennsylvanian. “I would like to profoundly apologize for what was a flippant and ill-considered comment concerning choices about whether to take the last exam. I regret having said what I did, especially at this particular time given recent events,” he wrote. “My comment was insensitive and, normally, I would never have said anything like that. It just came out.” He added, “It was a frivolous comment comparing two hypothetical students who got a B in a course. I was simply not thinking of recent events or of the context in which they were heard. I am truly sorry for the pain I caused.” One student, who asked to remain anonymous since she is currently enrolled in Dunham’s class, felt that he’d trivialized the sensitive campus discussion about mental health. “It seemed like he was being very condescending and implying that all of us are making a big deal out of nothing when he doesn’t know what kind of hardships she was going through,” the student said. “I felt offended because [Kong] was my friend and it felt like he trivialized her experiences to something like she couldn’t handle getting a B.” Dunham elaborated in his apology on the meaning of his comment. “It was [in response to]a query about whether

Off-campus dwellers struggle to find subletters Most try to break even for the summer, not profit JENNA WANG Staff Reporter

The search is on for students trying to find subletters for their residences over the summer. Students advertise sublet options ranging from small one-bedroom units to entire Domus apartments, and are often posted on the Penn Facebook groups Housing or Free & For Sale. Prices vary as well, as renters attempt to find equilibrium amongst their peers and offer the most competitive deal. But most students looking to sublet do not

to take an exam in a course in which a grade is dropped,” he wrote. “The decision to drop an exam is meant to be a stress reduction device that provides students with more options and flexibility. It’s not a decision worthy of great anxiety.” Dunham encouraged students to talk to him about issues with his comment “publicly or privately,” writing, ”We have an open door policy in this course as reflected by the extensive office hours (12 hours in the 3 days before the last exam) and the range of topics discussed topics during those office hours.” Chair of the Department of Biology Brenda Casper issued a statement about Dunham’s comment after being contacted by the DP, stating, “While we recognize that Prof. Dunham was within his rights in the conduct of his class, we acknowledge that his remarks are inconsistent with our equally important commitment to our students’ well-being.” The February 2015 report from the Task Force on Student Psychological Health and Welfare acknowledged that academic life at Penn can be very stressful. The report cited the “drive for academic excellence along with the perception that to be successful one needs to hold leadership roles in multiple realms” as contributing to the “amount of stress and distress experienced by Penn students.” SEE PROFESSOR PAGE 3

make money on their summer housing — rather, they are trying to minimize the gap between the rent they pay to the landlord and what they receive from the subletter. “[I] definitely won’t be breaking even, but [I’m] just trying basically to get as much as I can,” Wharton sophomore Dave Mathews said. Mathews, who is looking to rent out a bedroom in his off-campus fraternity house, said that he priced his room based on what he saw other people were listing similar rooms for online. Engineering freshman Alex Evelson, who was looking to sublet his bedroom on the second story of a house at 41st and Locust streets, set an initial subletting price of $600 per month for his residence. However, he

While many undergraduates were attending parties and sunbathing in the Quad, a handful of students experienced a different kind of “lit,” perusing through literature in Van Pelt Library.

Committee Room also has a schedule taped to the front of it. Tasks are divided into 30-minute segments, showing the regimented scheduling and planning that has gone into the concert. “We’ve mostly been arranging the bike racks since morning,” SPEC member and College freshman Elizabeth Goran says. It is a long and tedious job but essential to streamlining the process. Some members and all three directors have walkie-talkies clipped to their hips, also essential to make sure the concert runs smoothly. Just past 4:30 p.m., I file outside with other committee members to see Chance’s sound check. The field is mostly empty now except for SPEC members, and I can hear music blaring from the speakers onstage as The Social Experiment practices. It’s been a long day for members, so some lie down on the turf under the afternoon sun and take a quick power nap. Others start a spontaneous game of football. “Some of them have been complaining about how tired they are

all day — but I guess now they have enough energy to run around catching a football,” Simet jokes, laughing. Even the directors take a short break, enjoying the clear skies and sunny weather. “It’s perfect weather for the concert,” SPEC Concerts Director and College senior Spencer Jaffe says. “Last year we were really worried that it was going to rain — luckily it only did for five minutes.” As everyone enjoys the lighthearted atmosphere, I sit around and chat with a few SPEC members. They describe the artists’ dressing rooms that they helped set up in the morning, and we laugh about the variety of snacks that their hospitality riders demanded. It’s here that I can really see that the close-knit community of the approximately 30 SPEC members is essential to planning the concert. In the brief moment of respite, the committee members tell stories and reminisce about their year, even bringing up the nicknames they have given each other. Jaffe explains that SPEC members refer to him as “Unicorn.” Simet, Jaffe continues, is known as

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM with GA tickets — anyone with floor passes should go to 33rd and Spruce,” one member announces periodically. Despite the instruction, many students confusedly approach the general admissions line with floor tickets. A group of students attempt to enter the stadium through the left side of the stairs until Jaffe directs them towards the correct line. “Can we jump this fence,” one person asks jokingly. “It’s a ledge,” Jaffe answers. As I watch their exchange, it is clear that they already know each other. “It’s already bad enough seeing people confused about the lines,” Jaffe says. “It’s even worse when it’s someone you know.” Soon after, I head to the other entrance of the field, where people with floor passes to the concert are entering. As I chat with some SPEC members, one couple approaches the entrance. “PennCards and floor passes,” a member says automatically. The couple admits that only one of them has a PennCard. “But I’m an admitted student,” the girl says. “I can even pull up my acceptance letter.” The SPEC members look at each other nervously as they discuss the situation. “Do you want to break up true love?” one member asks, jokingly. But in the end, the SPEC members direct the couple to the ticket office, since they are not allowed on the floor without PennCards. Over at general admissions, Jaffe turns away a student and his younger brother because he was not 18. A few minutes later, the student returns, having left his brother at home. After that, ticketing goes relatively smoothly as a rush of Penn students arrive just before the concert begins at 8:00 p.m. The committee finally begins to relax as the pieces start to come together, and soon, 3LAU walks on stage to applause from the audience. Some SPEC committee members wander around behind or on the side of the stage during his performance, while others choose to enter the floor with their friends.

The show goes smoothly, with SPEC members occasionally communicating through their walkie-talkies. For committee members, this is their opportunity to finally relax with their friends during the concert. Just before 9:10 p.m., 3LAU finishes up his show and exits the stage to cheers. As the weather starts to get chilly, the audience starts to leave to take their bathroom breaks and warm up in between sets. As I walk around, I see MERT escorting a student out of the concert. Another student is sprawled out over a stretcher as MERT members assist him. Otherwise, though, things look calm in between the two sets. However, at 9:45 p.m., the audience starts to get impatient. It has been more than 30 minutes since 3LAU’s set, and the temperature has sharply dropped. I look up to see most students seated on the bleachers as SPEC committee members on the floor confusedly look at their phones. “Chance was supposed to be on stage by now,” one member says. Finally, Chance comes on stage at around 10:20 p.m. to ecstatic cheers from the excited audience. For those on the floor, it seemed that Chance had just arrived a little late. However, for the SPEC directors, the gap between the two artists’ sets posed potentially the biggest challenge in their concert planning process. As Chance announced about an hour later during his set, he had almost cancelled his performance. During the break, as SPEC members headed towards the Committee Room, they found the doors locked. Through the glass pane, committee members saw a group of administrators and the three SPEC directors. As the committee members lined up along the hallway, SPEC Vice President and liaison to SPEC Concerts and College junior Spencer Winson came out of the room to direct committee members into 3LAU’s vacated dressing room. Ten minutes later, members described Simet coming out of the committee room to address the confusion among the members. “Obviously there are some delays,” Simet said. “Chance is not currently on site — we’re working our asses off.” After her announcement, Simet sharply turned and headed back into the Committee Room, leaving the rest of the members confused. For another ten minutes, members speculated on the reasons for Chance’s delay. Some members worried that he cancelled his show, while others hopefully suggested that he could just be stuck in traffic. Meanwhile, SPEC members received messages from students in the audience questioning the delay. The committee anxiously sat outside the room, waiting for more news from the directors. At 10:20 p.m., Simet brought good news about the delay. “The eagle has landed,” she said. “Please, everyone go enjoy the f**k out of this show. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this.” As Chance takes the stage to wild cheers, I glance over to the side of the stage and see the three SPEC Concerts directors embrace, relief and pride obvious in their expressions. They had pulled it off. Enterprise Editor Jessica McDowell contributed reporting.

obviously planning to make an announcement so that people would know what was going on and not feel left out of the loop.” Jaffe also added that in the case that Chance the Rapper had cancelled, the SPEC Concerts Committee would have tried to make it as “fair as possible” to everyone who paid for a ticket. “It’s a tough situation because we did have one act go on, but he’s not the headliner,” he said. However, SPEC is grateful that everything worked out in the end for the Fling performance. “In music, there are a lot of things that are out of our control,” Jaffe said. “We lucked out in that we were able to keep our artist — others schools and venues have not been as lucky, and we’re really glad everything worked out.” Enterprise Editor Jessica McDowell contributed reporting.

SOUL marches against Temple stadium The protesters oppose gentrification in N. Phila. ELIZABETH WINSTON Staff Reporter

On April 14, protesters gathered at College Green to show their support and solidarity with the “Stadium Stompers” — a gathering of West Philadelphia community members and Temple University students united against the construction of the new stadium. The Penn protesters were brought together by leaders in Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation. Penn students walked with other protesters to Broad Street where they stopped rush hour traffic to voice their concerns.

acknowledged that he would have to drop this price if demand was not high enough. “I’m open to negotiation, so if people reach out to me, maybe towards the end I’d be more willing to discuss,” Evelson said. “But I’m not going to straight up lower [the prices] to begin with.”

Many protesters held up signs against the new stadium. They also brought attention to other causes, including the fight for a $15/hour minimum wage. Activists said the planned $100 million dollar, 35,0000-seat stadium is going to hurt the North Philadelphia community while improving the life of more affluent residents. They hope to bring an end to gentrification, which is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents.” The communities that will be most affected by the construction of the stadium are predominantly populated by people of color,

Pricing is not the only struggle students run into when attempting to find subletters.

The crux of Dunham’s comment — that students often are not content with slightly lesser grades — was also highlighted in the report. “We found that students often have trouble coping when they receive anything other than a perfect grade,” the task force wrote. “We also heard accounts of the negative impact of seeking to join and not being accepted by groups or organizations that have selection criteria.” Casper added that the Department of Biology will educate faculty and staff about mental health. “We will continue working with all members of our community to encourage and empower them to help make students aware of the many resources available when support is needed,” she said.

racism: “SOUL agrees with Stadium Stompers that it’s beyond time to value and protect the black communities supporting and surrounding Philadelphia universities. At the very least, this means not destroying their homes, recreation centers and neighborhoods for another football stadium, more campus buildings or subsidized housing for faculty and students.” Temple addressed community concerns in “Temple Now,” saying that they are listening to community concerns and “Every aspect of the stadium experience, from the construction to its day-to-day operations, will be planned and executed with the priorities and well-being of Temple’s neighbors in mind.”

wilting demand for “housing near campus” over the summer, she decided she was losing too much money in the process and went to lease a place elsewhere. “We ultimately found it was easier for us to find a completely different place [under University City Housing],” Yang said. Yang also faced issues with putting up a listing on PennLets, a website run by Penn students

where those looking to sublet can find renters. After she posted her initial listing for the Hamilton Court residence, Yang said, she received around ten “spam” emails that proclaimed to be interested in renting her residence, but never followed up. Though most sublet exchanges occur between Penn students, Mathews said he was looking beyond the campus bubble to

find potential subletters for a bedroom in his off-campus fraternity house. “I reached out to a couple of companies that have interns that are going to come stay in Philly, [and found] a couple leads there,” Mathews said. “I used a friend of mine to put my name on a list for Boeing, [which] has a bunch of interns who are subletting in Philly.”

OPINION Maintaining painful legacies You speak English? | A real conversation on mental health starts by remembering the cases that have affected our community

CXXXII, NO. 48 132nd Year of Publication COLIN HENDERSON President LAUREN FEINER Editor-in-Chief ANDREW FISCHER Director of Online Projects BRIELLA MEGLIO Director of Internal Consulting ISABEL KIM Opinion Editor JESSICA MCDOWELL Enterprise Editor DAN SPINELLI City News Editor CAROLINE SIMON Campus News Editor ELLIE SCHROEDER Assignments Editor LUCIEN WANG Copy Editor SUNNY CHEN Copy Editor NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor LAINE HIGGINS Sports Editor TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor JOYCE VARMA Creative Director

Student suicides feel strangely distinctive on campus. Associated Press journalism guidelines state that generally, suicides are not newsworthy “unless the person involved is a well-known figure or the circumstances are particularly unusual or publicly disruptive.” In this university bubble, however, each suicide resonates. This fact is connected, inevitably, to the institution of Penn itself, and with its complicity in the affair. The response we have witnessed to Olivia Kong’s death — anger, profound sadness and a steely resolution to change things — seems sadly short-lived. My impression of the oft-cited “conversation” on mental health is that it is shaped more by shortterm sensationalism than by organized student action and consciousness. To me, this is most apparent in the way that we have somehow let previous suicides turn into a mere statistic. When discussing mental health on-campus, we have stopped talking about suicide victims who, in many cases, were failed by this school. To me, one of the most

prominent examples of Penn’s institutional failures is the suicide of Arya Singh. She took her life in February 2013, which feels far off. A Google search reveals more recent developments in September 2015, when Singh’s mother filed a lawsuit against Amazon and Penn. She is suing Amazon for allowing the sale of cyanide, and Penn for failing to support her daughter. Her lawsuit against Penn claims that the university and its employees failed to provide adequate support for Arya and were “unsympathetic, hostile, and at times vindictive” toward her. She was going through severe emotional and mental problems after reporting sexual assault, but like so many of her peers, found it difficult to schedule a proper appointment at CAPS. The alleged assaulter was not prosecuted or punished by the school, although he was eventually made to move out of her dormitory and cease contact with her. Beyond this, according to the lawsuit, Arya found little support for her declining academic situation. As she

failed classes and was put on disciplinary hold, the only administrative response she received was an expulsion from her residence. The day she was scheduled to move out was the same day she killed herself. In this case, it seems clear to me that there was a shocking connection between Penn’s unsupportive environment and a student’s sui-

am struck by the lack of discussion of this case in which Penn’s irresponsibility was clearly to blame. Tragically, as we call out Penn for calling a ruled suicide an accident and being unresponsive to these events, we have allowed our university to push Arya Singh out of our activism. And hers is only one case — I am afraid that we are forgetting the oth-

We must recognize and discuss the intersection of mental health with other issues like sexual assault, racism, and financial instability.” cide. But I rarely hear Arya’s name mentioned. This may partly be because many of my friends were not here in 2013. Even so, with such a renewed vigor in the movement for better mental health resources at Penn after Olivia Kong’s recent suicide, I

er victims even as we seem to push for better resources. I am afraid that our conversation is affected only by shortterm emotion, rather than a real awareness of this deeprooted problem. Arya Singh, Timothy Hamlett, Elvis Hatcher,

Madison Holleran, Stephen Wilshusen, Alice Wiley, Wendy Shung, Theodric Reed, Amanda Hu and most recently, Olivia Kong are all names we should remember. As a student body we have the power to reclaim the narrative of these individuals, rather than allow the Penn administration to dictate our memory of them. The fact that so many articles and posts about mental health at Penn have failed to mention Arya’s name as a poignant example only shows that, frustratingly, administrative attempts to push this under the rug have to an extent succeeded. In contrast, Madison Holleran’s name is more recognizable. The track athlete’s suicide was widely covered by the media, leading to criticism that one student’s death was being glamorized and valued over others. It has certainly affected perspectives on campus — Holleran’s name is the one I have heard the most in discussions of student suicide. But I do not want the media, much less the Penn administration, to dictate our memories of our previous

MEERabelle JESUTHASAN fellow students. We may not have the power to force administrators into pouring more money into CAPS, but we are still important actors. It is imperative that we remember the cases that have affected our community.

We should remember the victims through more than statistics — we cannot afford to forget them. Meerabelle Jesuthasan is a College freshman from Singapore, studying English and cognitive science.

Since deleting the Facebook app on my phone — something I suggest all of you do as well because it will add literally hours to your battery life — I rarely get the pleasure, well displeasure, of scrolling through my Facebook feed. In the rare occasions in which I do scroll through the feed, I have increasingly found a number of links to an online publication called “Odyssey.” In recent weeks, links from this website have literally overwhelmed my feed. For those of you unfamiliar with this publication, Odyssey is the equivalent of an online newspaper full of blog posts. It touts itself as “a social content platform that discovers and shares a chorus of millennial voices,” and describes that it “is revolutionizing content creation and discovery, enabling compelling, high-quality content to be created and discovered at speed and scale.” To summarize, it’s a pseudopublication where anyone — mostly millennials — can write about anything and have it published with little to no

scrutiny. Before I move forward with criticizing the site, I first must commend it for its excellent business model. The publication receives a never-ending stream of free content from users and then receives an unending stream of free PR and social media attention. After all, the same people who write these pieces take it upon themselves to make sure people read them and by the same token go to Odyssey’s site. The question then becomes, why do people create content for the site without compensation rather than create a blog for themselves in which they could produce the exact same content under possibly leaner constraints? The answer: validation. Millennials, as the website calls its users, prefer to write for Odyssey rather than their own blog because they like the idea they are writing for a “legitimate” publication. These writers and content creators enjoy having the cerebral sounding name “Odyssey” hanging above the title of their

piece about “15 Gilmore Girl gifs that describe my life right now” — a fake title, but similar to many on the site. These creators want to feel like real writers and Odyssey is more than happy to supply them with this experience by providing them with a platform, a format and even an

power to those who want to. The issue arises when practices like these become so ubiquitous. I am aware Facebook is not the center of unbiased or even factual information, but at least in the past I would come across a few news articles based on fact, rather than just

The question then becomes why do people create content for the site without compensation rather than create a blog for themselves ...” intern to proofread their work in return for the free labor and production. In short, there is nothing inherently wrong about this. There is nothing wrong with people indulging their desire for validation and an audience by writing blog posts under the guise of journalism. More

opinion pieces and BuzzFeedesque lists. However, now these pieces — particularly those from Odyssey — seem to dominate social media. The problem with this move toward absorption of fluff media and strictly opinion content is twofold. First, the publications, and

more specifically the ubiquitous nature of these posts online, create a problem of the questionably informed leading the ill informed. Sadly, there exists a subset of the population who solely receive their news and information from social media such as Facebook. The overtaking of regular news by links to sites like Odyssey create a situation in which the sole sources of a person’s news, information, life experiences and ideals come from articles written by Facebook friends. Secondly, the nature of the site as one in which anyone or anything can be published perpetuates and advances stereotypes about millennials. In particular, the idea that millennials want instant gratification and want to succeed without putting in the effort. Odyssey allows anyone to become a “journalist,” which at face value sounds nice and welcoming; this concept, however, allows “writers” to publish without skill or competition, allowing them to go on writing as “journalists” without

BEN FACEY ever needing to improve their work due to rejection or actual failure. Odyssey is an interesting successful online content platform that utilizes millennials desire to make their voices heard, and at times even has some well-thought-out and well-written pieces. However, the website creates a situation of the blind leading the blind and perpetuates a situation in which millennials can succeed without putting in real effort.

PECO explains cause of recent power outages Company plans new subsequent construction project REMI LEDERMAN Staff Reporter

After several power outages and an underground explosion prompted two UPennAlerts last month, Philadelphia Electric Company has undertaken a construction project to replace some of the electrical lines on campus. “If we weren’t able to provide service to our customers, we need to look at the system performance and make sure it is operating efficiently and effectively,” PECO’s Senior Communications Specialist Greg Smore said. On March 29, a slew of buildings on the eastern part of campus — including the Law School, Van Pelt Library and Kings Court English House — lost power around 11:30 a.m. Five days before, an electrical explosion on Walnut Street near 34th

in the library during Spring Fling because she had to finish her thesis on the voting patterns at the United Nations Security Council. But she was not overly concerned about missing out on Fling. “I feel like I was never that good at Fling,” she said. “I never understood the binge drinking. I’ve always enjoyed Fling, it’s just that work is my priority right now.” College senior Ankit Dahal had a similar predicament; he had to prioritize future goals over attending the “Fling of the Future.” Dahal is set to take the MCAT next week but said he hoped he would have time to enjoy some of his last Fling weekend at Penn. Students interviewed in the library said their professors didn’t lighten their workload this weekend even with Fling festivities going on.

left a worker injured. The power outages and the underground explosion were unrelated incidents, but there may be a connection between the two incidents. “[The two power outages] happened in different areas at different times.” Smore said, “We were able to provide service again, but then looking at the overall system performance we were able to say ‘it is time of us to take another look at this and make a more holistic repair to this. ’” Facilities and Real Estate Services was also involved in investigating the outages. “Penn has been working with PECO to investigate the source of the recent power outages around campus,” acting Executive Director of Operations & Maintenance at FRES Betsy Robinson said. It is unclear what exactly happened to these cables, but there are a few possibilities. “Multiple things can happen with underground lines. They are more susceptible to moisture or there

Despite being a Chance the Rapper fan, Engineering freshman Natalia Baykova sought refuge in Van Pelt to study for her upcoming chemistry exam. “I think some of the professors are completely oblivious,” she said. College freshman Liz Kraeutler agreed. “If anything the professors went harder,” she said. Despite the blaring music and groups of rowdy undergraduates in tanks, there were even a few students that did not know this was the infamous Fling weekend. Firstyear Engineering graduate student Anupama Kumar, for example, was surprised at how empty Van Pelt was on Friday. “Had I known and had I not had many assignments due, I would have gone. But this is too close to the end of the semester,” Kumar said after finding out that it was in fact Fling weekend.

might be some damage from excavation or construction. The line could be impacted but might not cause an outage until later on,” Smore said. The construction work started on April 13 and will last until early May. PECO will be replacing 3,400 feet of underground cable on Spruce Street between 34th and 37th streets, 34th Street between Spruce and Chestnut, Chestnut between 34th and 36th streets, 36th between Chestnut and Ludlow and Ludlow between 36th and 37th. All of the construction will take place overnight to avoid interfering with daytime traffic. This project is also included in PECO’s 20/20 plan which will take place over the next five years. “We will be investing an additional $274 million during the next five years to install advanced equipment and reinforce the future electric system to make it more weather resistant and less vulnerable to storm damage,” Smore said. “This is in addition to $300 million of ongoing system work each year.”

College senior Jamie Vaught expressed similar concerns about the timing of Fling being so close to the end of classes and exams, adding that she does not regret missing out on her last Fling. “I feel like I’ve already done the Fling thing and I’ve moved past it,” she said. “I didn’t want to put myself through that party bootcamp.” While many of the students at Van Pelt had piles of work to finish, some still had time to offer words of advice. “Just have fun and be safe even though you’ll probably read that after it’s done,” said Victoria Aguilar, a first-year graduate student in the School of Social Policy & Practice. Ehsan stressed the importance of making Fling what you want it to be. “If Fling for you means going to Van Pelt, you do you,” Eshan said.

New Yorker cartoon editor speaks at Penn Bob Mankoff shared his experiences in humor CHASEN SHAO Contributing Reporter

“Only amateurs love their jobs,” Bob Mankoff said as he began his talk as a part of the Positive Psychology Center Colloquia Series at Penn. Recounting his experience as the cartoon editor of the New Yorker since 1997, Mankoff created a humorous setting

throughout his presentation while sharing his experiences as a cartoonist. Penn’s Positive Psychology Center Colloquia Series has primarily focused on bringing a wide range of expertise to a local community that includes researchers and graduate students. Speakers are invited from all over the nation to bring the most advanced research and ideas about, among other things, brain activity, the stimulation of emotion and

advances in plasticity research in relation to addiction. Mankoff found his true passions in college, he said. He told the story — intertwined with his descriptions of the cartooning business — of how he found that he enjoyed the audience his humor catered to in college, but didn’t want to fully abandon his academia. After abandoning his Ph.D. work, Mankoff decided to capitalize on his talents in humor and cartooning and

began subm itting work to various magazines and newspapers around his beloved New York. Despite facing rejection, Mankoff eventually found a haven at the New Yorker and within weeks of first accepting his work, the magazine made Mankoff a regular contributor. He said felt a great calling to his work as a cartoonist despite having to sacrifice academia. In the midst of recounting his past experiences, Mankoff shared his views on humor and

the architecture of a cartoon by digging into the philosophy of laughter. “Laughter is rather peculiar,” began Mankoff. He added that most view laughter as the result of a joke, but that he disagreed with this belief. “Laughter ends the comedic event,” he said. He added that the audience is the nod of approval for any comedian — for him, without this response, there is no joke. After opening a general discussion following his talk, Mankoff shared tips on working in humor, especially how he maintains his stoic expression while reviewing comics, which brought out much laughter from the audience. When asked about standup comedy, Mankoff said,

“standup extracts parts of personality via exaggeration,” and further expanded on the mutual respect he holds for standup comedians. For the past thirty years, Mankoff said he has created an office that welcomes new a nd upcom ing ca r toon ists while maintaining the constant supply of incoming cartoons, and has opened up his office to welcome their authentic ideas. In 2005, Mankoff began a now-famous captioning contest for the New Yorker, in which contestants submitted potential captions for a given cartoon. Mankoff also is a regular lecturer on humor, and seeks not to inspire others but continue to make them laugh, too.

Quakers close out season with win over Columbia W. TENNIS | Finish year

had a really strong season.” On Friday against Cornell, the Big Red took an early lead, claiming the first four points. Junior Kana Daniel picked up her 11th win of the season and the Red and Blue’s first point of the day with a 6-3, 7-6 triumph over Marika Cusick, and sophomore Ria Vaidya came back from a 5-1 deficit in the first set to defeat Lizzie Stewart, 7-6, 6-3. The loss eliminated the Quakers from contention for the conference title. While the team’s final match against Columbia did not have title implications for the Red and Blue, it did for the Lions. If Columbia had won, they would have shared the Ivy League title with Princeton, who successfully defended its title. However, the Quakers played spoiler. Junior Luba Vazhenina and sophomore Lina Qostal led off the day with a doubles victory, and the duo of Daniel and senior Sonya Latycheva won as well to clinch the doubles

and Blue’s three wins came from Latycheva, Kowalska and Vazhenina. Latycheva, as the team’s only senior, was honored on Friday on Senior Day at the Hamlin

Courts. She earned first team All-Ivy honors in her freshman season and second team in her junior, both alongside former partner Sol Eskenazi. She went 14-3 with Daniel this season to

improve to 78-31 in her collegiate doubles career, adding 48 singles victories. “She played unbelievably well today and was really the point we needed in both singles and doubles,” Kunovac said of the graduating star. “She really left the team in much better shape in both the level of tennis and standing in the Ivy League, and that says a lot.” While Penn did not win the Ancient Eight, the team’s share of second place is its best standing since 2008, when the Quakers had followed up their 2007 conference title with a second-place finish. Second place is even more impressive given the Ivy League was the only Division I conference to have all of its teams ranked in the most recent ITA rankings. Penn, for its part, defeated five ranked teams this season, with the final one being perhaps the most impressive, as the Lions were the highestranked of Penn’s victories.

just under 15 minutes into the second half and, controlling possession for much of the next eight minutes, had repeated chances to tie the contest up. Thanks to a defensive stand led by junior Britt Brown between the pipes, the Red and Blue were able to hold off the Harvard attack until a turnover translated into a goal at the other end by none other than Condon — her third score of the half. “Harvard did a good job defending my cuts, so in the second half I looked to drive more,” Condon noted after scoring her 22nd goal of the year, ninth best in the Ivy League. Up two goals with six minutes to go, the Quakers were able to stave off a Crimson run, ceding a goal with 33 seconds left that Harvard couldn’t build on before time expired. “Our defense has struggled a little bit in the last couple games and I thought that — this is a high-powered attack — and I thought that we did a nice job of really holding them when we needed to do that and so I was

two finishing times, as senior Amy Darlington claimed victory with a 4:29.66 and junior Clarissa Whiting earned silver with a 4:33.52 run. The women’s 4x100m relay team also took home gold, decisively beating second-place West Chester with a time of 46.65. “We had some different personnel on some of our relay squads today, but I was very happy with the way that those events turned out.” Dolan said. “I thought that Rachel Hlatky stepped up really well in the 4x100 and ran a great second leg of that race for us, and I thought her contributions to the team today were great.” Hlatky also claimed an individual victory to go with her relay performance, as the senior won the 200m sprint with a strong time of 25.08 seconds. The 800m also provided Penn with another pair of champions, as sophomore Jeff Wiseman claimed victory on the men’s side with a 1:51.79 finish, and fellow sophomore Gina Alm won the women’s event in 2:13.71. Senior Taylor

Hennig also finished second on the women’s side, a mere fourhundredths of a second behind Alm. Sophomore Taylor McCorkle would also claim yet another important victory for the Quakers, with the top finish time of 11.81 in the 100m. Penn’s final track victory of the day came in the uncontested women’s 5K, where each of the top four finishers wore the Red and Blue, and sophomore Kylene Cochrane beat out three of her teammates to win the event with a final time of 16:39.08. The day’s field events were highlighted by another pair of victories for the Quakers. Junior Billy Bishop earned gold in the men’s shot put with a winning throw of 16.25 meters,

and freshman Nicole Macco had a dominant victory in the pole vault with a final height of 3.81m, 0.45m ahead of second place Samantha Lowery of West Chester. “I think overall we had a pretty awesome day across the team,” Dolan said. “I thought we did an excellent job today of just getting after it and taking advantage of the great conditions to put in some really strong performances. I think there are a lot of people who are really starting to hit their stride and that exciting to see.” Both programs will stay close to home next weekend, making the short trip to Princeton for the Larry Ellis Invitational, the team’s last meet before the Penn Relays start on April 28.

Com i ng i n hot havi ng won three straight conference matches and with the Ivy League title on the line, it made for a competitive weekend for Penn women’s tennis. After jumping up 22 spots in the ITA rankings from 74 to 52 following wins over Harvard and Dartmouth last weekend, the Quakers split their final Ivy doubleheader, falling to No. 63 Cornell on Friday, 5-2 at home before rebounding the season finale in New York against No. 34 Columbia, 4-3. “what we really wanted from the coaching perspective was just for the team to play up to its capabilities because Columbia was the highest-ranked team in the Ivies,” Penn coach Sanela Kunovac said. “they’ve

Quakers will need to make it four on Wednesday if they want to move back into first. The game will mark the first leg of a three-game road trip that will close out regular season play for the Red and Blue as they look to claim their ninth Ivy title in the last ten years.

pitches well in lone win

TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor

When it comes to Ivy League baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lou Gehrig division, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new sheriff in town. Princeton, after finishing just 4-16 in conference play a season ago, extended its division lead this weekend, taking down Penn baseball in three out of four games. With the losses, the Quakers (14-18, 6-6 Ivy) drop to .500 in conference play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three games behind the Tigers (17-14, 9-3) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with eight Ivy contests remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to play one game at a time. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much room for error,â&#x20AC;? Penn coach John Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a bit of a lead on us now, unfortunately.â&#x20AC;? Princeton swept Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubleheader by scores of 7-2 and 3-1.

The Tigers struck with two runs in the first inning of each contest, bringing Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of first-inning runs surrendered this season to 24, their most of any frame. The Red and Blue largely struggled on offense in both games, especially in the second contest, as Princeton starter Chad Powers allowed just one unearned run over eight innings. Penn hurler Billy Lescher was uncharacteristically ineffective in the first game, allowing seven runs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all earned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on seven hits over five innings. Princeton continued its winning ways in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game, using a Joseph Flynn two-run double and a pair of sacrifice flies to fuel a 5-1 victory in the seven-inning game. The Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offensive woes continued, as they were only able to scratch across the one run via a Gary Tesch RBI double. One offensive bright spot for the Red and Blue was the play of freshman catcher Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill. The

New Jersey native hit a home run in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game and scored Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone run in the nightcap; he concluded Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play hitting .330 with three home runs on the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think of [the freshmen] as young guys anymore; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing for us all year,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt has done a great job for us behind the plate.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers finally got into the win column in the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final game, riding seven innings of two-run ball from junior righthander Jake Cousins to pick up a 5-2 victory. Freshman closer Jake Nelson shut the Tigers down in the ninth, putting the side down in order, notching his fifth save of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really needed to have that game; their effort today was really big,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said of his pitching staff. Tim Graul sparked the offense

in the victory, nailing a two-run homer in the third to put Penn up 2-1, their first lead of the entire series. After senior shortstop Ryan Mincher added a two-run bomb of his own to break a 2-2 tie in the eighth, Graul added his third RBI of the day with a single in the ninth. With perennial powerhouse Columbia suffering a down year, Princeton has capitalized on the lack of a clear No. 1 team in the division, winning on the arm of Powers and the bat of junior infielder Zack Belski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Princeton] had some kids hurt last year and their senior class has done really well,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do a good job on the mound. They mix it up a lot; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a ton of overpowering arms, but they really know how to pitch.â&#x20AC;? So, with the halfway point of Ivy play having passed, the Red and Blue are going to need to be nearly perfect if they are to catch their neighbors to the north. After a

Jahelka. Harvardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot streak did not last for long. Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshmen, whose offensive contributions have carried the team all season, delivered again. Dunn and Simon Mathias scored two crucial goals at the end of the third quarter to set up a closely contested fourth quarter. Two Harvard penalties presented Penn with man-up opportunities, and the Quakers readily converted. A brilliant pass by Doktor found Hupfeldt mere inches away from the net, and the sophomore faked out Robert Shaw before calmly depositing the ball into the bottom of the goal. Driven by their newfound momentum, the Quakers built a 12-9 lead off scores by freshman Alex Roesner, senior Pat Berkery and Hupfeldt, who completed his

midweek showdown with La Salle on Tuesday, they will get back to conference play when they host Cornell for four games over the weekend.

hat trick off another probing feed from Doktor. Harvard came back again, tying the game with five minutes to play. Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long-stick midfield Connor Keating quickly broke the deadlock with a sublime individual effort after a face-off victory. The long-legged sophomore scampered down the field and let loose a running, lefthanded shot that bounced its way into the goal. Despite Keatingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroics, however, his crucial turnover allowed Dwyer to easily overcome the outstretched stick of Penn freshman goalie Reed Junkin. In notching his fourth goal of the game on this transition opportunity, Dwyer tied the match for the fifth time and it seemed as if the game was destined for overtime. The Quakers, however, had other plans. Sophomore Chris Santangelo, who won 19 faceoffs in

27 opportunities on Saturday, gained possession for Penn after Dwyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal. After several searching passes, Mathias penetrated the Harvard defense with a dodging run from the left wing. With just 15 seconds to go, a quick pass found Hupfeldt with room to shoot about 15 yards out and, the attackman ripped a sidehanded shot into the upper right corner of the net for his fourth and most important goal of the game. Harvard won the ensuing faceoff and scrambled to reach the goal, but a few hard checks from some Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defensemen sealed a memorable and vital victory for Penn. The Red and Blue, flush with the satisfaction of their gritty triumph, will take on UMBC in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday. And, if they can show the same resolve and poise that they demonstrated on Saturday, dreams of postseason success could definitely become reality.

The slide continues. After opening up Ivy play with two key wins over Yale and Brown at the beginning of the month, Penn men’s tennis has failed to find similar success in four conference matches. This weekend’s losses to the Ivy League’s New York residents, No. 55 Cornell and No. 25 Columbia, continued the unfavorable streak set a week earlier after Penn (7-15, 2-4 Ivy) fell to No. 48 Harvard and No. 36 Dartmouth. The first of the two losses came on Friday up in Ithaca, where the Red and Blue were greeted by a strong Big Red side (12-10, 5-2), who currently sit in third place in the Ancient Eight. Two 6-2 losses from the Quakers’ first and second doubles pairings did not set a good tone as the two sides headed into singles play. The lone win for Penn came at the fourth seed from junior Matt Nardella, who clinched his match in a three-set contest. After Cornell grabbed its fourth point of the day, the match was called in favor of the hosts and decided with a final score of 4-1. A very similar story played out on Sunday when the Lions (17-5, 7-0) came rolling through Philadelphia. Fantastic weather did not work in the Quakers’ favor as the visitors wrestled away an extremely close doubles point to start off the match. The team of Nardella and senior Blaine Willenborg was able to grab a 7-6 win over Columbia’s pairing of its top two singles players, but a 7-6 and a 7-5 loss in the other matches gave the Lions the

In Saturday’s loss to Cornell, junior Matt Nardella’s victory at the fourth singles spot gave the Quakers their only point of the match.

point. On the singles side of the match, Penn’s only victory was won by a familiar face as Willenborg fought his way to a three-set decider with scores of 6-2, 1-6, 4-3 (8-6). At the top of the ladder, Mautner came close to defeating his No. 77-ranked opponent Shawn Hadavi. After splitting the first two matches with scores of 7-5 and 3-6, the two titans went into a super-tiebreaker, which was decided 10-2 for the visitor. Columbia would end up clinching the match with a 5-1 result. In addition to the win, the Lions wrapped up their undefeated Ivy season and clinched the conference title as the lone winners. Thinking about the weekend and taking a look at the conference as a whole, the two results — in addition to Princeton, Yale and Brown’s losses — only confirmed

that this season’s Ancient Eight has largely been divided into two main blocks. Although Columbia’s undefeated record might point to a lack of competition, the league leaders faced tough opponents in the rest of the top four: Dartmouth, Cornell and Harvard, whose standings also come in that order. Then comes the rest of the pack. Penn and rival No. 46 Princeton (14-10, 2-4) sit tied for fifth with two conference wins apiece but do not have that much on Yale and Brown, who are both tied for seventh. With one last match to play for the Quakers, they have one final chance to get as close to that top four as possible. Next Saturday, the Red and Blue will play host to the Tigers in a hotly contested match, the winner of which will have an outright claim to fifth place.

Less than a day after hundreds of students f locked to Franklin Field to experience the musical stylings of Chance the Rapper, Penn men’s lacrosse put on a show of its own. On Saturday, a crowd which included a number of former players who returned to celebrate the team’s Alumni Day — took in an exciting, back-and-forth game. The Quakers faced Harvard in a crucial Ivy matchup that would secure the postseason fate of one team and leave the other’s hanging in the balance. With a 14-13 win over the Crimson, Penn (6-5, 3-2 Ivy) clinched a berth to the Ivy League tournament, which could possibly in turn ensure the team’s inclusion in the NCAA Championships. Harvard (6-6, 2-2), meanwhile, dropped to fourth in the conference and will hope to regain its early-season form that catapulted them to a high of No. 7 in the national rankings. The Crimson started the tilt off strong, taking a quick two-goal lead with points by Ian Ardrey and Joe Lang. But, in a run reflective of the contest’s vacillating nature, the Red and Blue responded with four straight scores, including Reilly Hupfeldt’s first in what would be a spectacular day for the sophomore. Harvard cut the deficit to one by the end of the first period, but Penn senior Nick Doktor and freshman Tyler Dunn put their team soundly on top,

The weather this weekend started to heat up, and so too did the Penn men’s and women’s track and field teams. On Saturday, amid perfect conditions, Penn’s two track programs combined for 11 event victories and several personal best times at the Chester Quarry Classic, hosted by Widener University. Senior sprinter Ben Bowers made his return to the track on Saturday after being sidelined with injury for much of the winter and early spring season. Bowers looked strong in his first event back, winning the 110-meter hurdles in 14.60 seconds, as he has on many occasions for Penn throughout his career. In the men’s 1500m event, the Quakers claimed four of the top five finishing times, with junior Chris Hatler leading the way with a personal

Stout defensive play late in the weekend contest kept the Red and Blue rolling before they take on first-place Princeton on Wednesday. “I feel like we needed this win,” Penn coach Karin Corbett

said. “Does it propel us into [Princeton]? I just think it’s Princeton, and a loss today, a win today, it’s Princeton.” After a scoreless 10 minutes to open the game, junior Emily Rodgers-Healion got Penn on the board first — and the Crimson (7-4, 3-2) quickly responded as Alexis Nicolia tied things up less than a minute later. The Quakers fell behind midway through the first half as Harvard found the net for a second time, creating a one-goal deficit that finally lit a fire under a Red and Blue offense that had struggled to get much going in the game’s first 15 minutes. Less than a minute after the Crimson took the lead, senior Lely DeSimone tied the score at two — but Penn wasn’t done there. Rodgers-Healion found the net again a minute later, followed by goals from junior Sarah Barcia and senior Catherine Dickinson. The four-goal run put the Quakers up 5-2, and they wouldn’t look back from there.

“I think we came out excited for the game,” sophomore attack Alex Condon said, “but to actually come out and get four goals and to get our rhythm and calm down, settle down and get rid of those first-half jitters was good. Although Harvard managed to score twice before the end of the half, they would never tie things up, thanks to Condon’s decision to take the game over in the second half. Following the break, it was Condon that resumed scoring for the Quakers, finding the net just over five minutes into the second half to make it 6-4. When Harvard scored a few minutes later, Condon netted a goal to open back up the two-goal lead. “[Condon]’s just really come into her own and is someone we can count on,” Corbett said. “She’s a great finisher and she’s gaining confidence every game, so I’m really excited about her.” From there, things got a little tight.
