AirPennNet is watching: what Penn sees
One former ITA spills what info Penn looks at (and what they don’t) LUIS FERRE SADURNI Staff Reporter
From the quiet study lounges in Huntsman Hall to the closet-like bathrooms in Van Pelt Library to
the air conditioner-less rooms of Hill College House, AirPennNet is a constant presence on Penn’s campus. Students connect their computers and mobile devices to the University’s far-reaching Wi-Fi network for academic, personal and sometimes questionable purposes. It is rather easy to configure AirPennNet for personal electronic devices and
have them connect by default every time they turn on. With AirPenn Net’s prevalence, it is easy for students to overlook the University’s policies they are adhering to by using Penn’s online network. Penn’s Information Systems & Computing staff operates AirPennNet. Last month, the network’s infrastructure consists of 4,000
wireless access points that supported over 34,000 distinct users transfer 406 terabytes of data in a recent peak month, according to ISC leadership in an email. ISC keeps operational logs when systems connect to Penn networks, including the device’s IP address and PennKey username if available, SEE AIRPENNNET PAGE 6

Greek students reflect on unfolding economic deliberations LUIS A. FERRE SADURNI Staff Reporter
In what is shaping up to be the most important week in Greece’s odyssey of debt and economic dysfunction, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras — the country’s leader— is expected to submit serious reform proposals to European leaders today. The Balkan country’s future will continue to be on the line this week and with it, the futures of its citizens — including those of Penn students from Greece. History was made on Sunday when the Greek government held a referendum asking voters whether or not they wanted to accept creditors’ latest deal, which would have imposed greater austerity measures. An overwhelming 61 percent of Greeks voted “no,” a sweeping victory for Tsipras and his left-wing Syriza Party. “While the ballots were being counted, and we were waiting for the final count, you could almost see the country holding its breath. People would either fight — among family or even strangers in public spaces — or be eerily silent and anxious,” said Irene Katopodis, a 2015 Penn graduate who voted “yes” in Sunday’s referendum. Contrary to the country’s referendum results, Penn students from Greece that The Daily Pennsylvanian interviewed overwhelmingly supported accepting the

NAACP Convention to be held in Phila. this week Convention’s theme reflects movements at Penn this year YASMEEN KABOUD Staff Reporter
Philadelphia has once again been chosen to hold an organization’s biggest event of the year — and its theme reflects some of the most prominent movements on Penn’s campus this year. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its 106th annual convention this week at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Events began on July 8 and run until July 15. The NAACP is a civil rights organization whose mission is to “ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.” The purpose of the annual convention is to establish the actions and policies for the NAACP for the upcoming year. The theme of this year’s convention is “pursuing liberty in the face of injustice.” Penn student groups have followed a similar theme this past year, holding SEE NAACP PAGE 6

Penn Wharton China Center opens “First 100 Days” celebrations incorporate programs from all of Penn’s schools BRYN FERGUSON Staff Reporter
Even though the Penn Wharton China Center is named for Penn’s business school, it is a place for all types of learning — and a place where students can learn about everything from urbanization to robotics to food science. In the first 100 days since its opening on March 10, each of Penn’s schools held its own event at the Center, and invited researchers and faculty from institutions around China. The events have been attended by alumni, admitted and prospective students, and even Chinese high school students.
Managing Director of the PWCC Jeffrey Bernstein said that one goal of the Center has been to feature all of the schools because it aims to promote interdisciplinary research. “What we found out from our local stakeholders was that none of our other peer schools, when they opened their China centers, had so many of their schools’ top leaders come at one time,” he said. “And so we thought it was a great way to show how focused we are in interdisciplinary work.” Bernstein added that “each of the schools have found their own niche and drawn a really interesting and eclectic crowd of people from China, like university, government and media.” Professor John Zhang, the executive facility director of the PWCC, emphasized the importance of Penn’s

presence in China and noted the success of the events so far. “Ultimately, we want to make sure that Penn and Wharton are perceived as the training ground for global leaders,” Zhang said. “And to do that we need to be in China — one of the most important economies in the world. All the events we do, we are hoping will be noticed so Penn and Wharton will be talked about. We are absolutely achieving that.” Since the initial opening of the PWCC, the Center has seen approximately 1000 people pass through — either for events or just as drop-ins, Zhang said.

100 Days” celebrations. The School invited deans and chairs of departments from about 22 different design universities for a round table discussion about the problems of urbanization faced by the United States and China. Dean of the School of Design Marilyn Jordan Taylor was one of the faculty members in attendance. Taylor said that China is a very important country for research in the design field because of its rapid urbanization. “China has faced for decades in increasing measure the challenge of rapid urbanization,” she said. “New cities are rising from very small manufacturing communities to cities of multi-million people … Beijing is booming but has terrible air quality.” SEE WHARTON PAGE 8

Two men shot near campus, students not alerted Two men are in critical condition on Saturday after a shooting near Penn’s campus. Despite the shootings occurring close to Kings Court English College House, various students reported not receiving a UPenn Alert. Around 1:37 a.m. on Saturday, two men left a bar near 36th and Sansom streets after an argument, according to NBC10. While walking down Sansom Street, the victims were shot by a group of men in a car with a Maryland license plate. One victim, 29, was struck by two gunshots, including one to his stomach. Another victim, 32, was wounded in his knee and

carrying guns of their own, and one victim fired back at the car. Police did not know if anyone in the car had been wounded, according to NBC10. Both victims are in critical condition at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center as of Saturday afternoon. One suspect was described as a 21- to 30-year-old black male, 5’6” with “scruffy” facial hair, a medium build and a fair complexion. He wore a white T-shirt, a bucket hat and potentially cargo shorts, per NBC10. Another suspect was described as taller and thinner as the first suspect, without additional details. Saturday’s shooting occurred during a bloody Fourth of July weekend in Philadelphia, which left at least four people dead as of Sunday morning, according to Philly.com.

thigh, per NBC10’s report. In an email to The Daily Pennsylvanian on Sunday, the Division of Public Safety reported sending a UPenn Alert at 1:52 a.m. and an “all clear” message at 2:17 a.m. Many students did not receive this alert and were unaware of the shootings nearby. “Most students do not receive alerts in the summer, as most are not on campus,” DPS’s Director of Operations & External Affairs Kathleen Shields Anderson said in an email. Anderson added that faculty and staff members — like graduate associates in College Houses — continue receiving alerts. At least one faculty member confirmed to the DP that she received Saturday’s alert, despite not being on campus at the time. Bot h victims had been

Made in America music festival releases 2015 lineup Beyonce will headline for the second time, students react positively YASMEEN KABOUD Staff Reporter
Even though the start of Penn’s fall semester is weeks away, students are already gearing up for the popular Made in America music festival, whose lineup has just been released. Made in America was founded in 2012 by Jay-Z and his business partner Steve Stoute. This year, Made in America will be held on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 5-6, at Benjamin Franklin Parkway. This year’s festival headliners include pop diva Beyoncé, JayZ’s wife. This will be the second
time Beyoncé has performed at Made in America; she headlined the 2013 festival as well. Many students are excited about this year’s lineup, which also includes Canadian PBR&B singers The Weeknd, Nick Jonas and alternative rock band Death Cab for Cutie. “I am most excited to see Beyoncé,” said Sara Cerreta, a rising sophomore in Nursing. “She is absolutely amazing live. When I heard that she was going to Made in America, I just bought the ticket, no question about the cost or anything.” However, some students have some reservations about the ticket price, which tops out at $171.50 after fees. “I’ve heard of half the lineup
and maybe a quarter of those I know of,” said Sam Warrick, a rising sophomore in the College. “The tickets are too expensive to risk not liking a lot of the music.” Made in America brings in music lovers from around the country and the festival website is working to organize traffic. The website has directions for people traveling to Philadelphia by plane, train, car, SEPTA or bike. The festival also has strict rules about what can be brought into the festival site. No outside food or drinks will be allowed, however, there will be food vendors and free filtered water stations inside. In addition to the performers,
the festival will also host food trucks, a merchandise tent and beer gardens. The festival will also be live-streamed. “I’m really excited to just be in the entire environment,” Cerreta said. “I didn’t get to go last year, but a lot of my friends did and they really enjoyed it.” Last year, Jay-Z announced a second Made in America festival that would take place in Los Angeles at the same time as one in Philadelphia. The goal was to give both coasts access to the multi-genre music festival. However, the west coast festival was not picked up for a second year. The full lineup and a list of frequently asked questions can be found at the Made in America website.

A celebration of self-evident truth
“L
GIRL, INTERRUPTING | An annual reminder to keep fighting for morality and equality eges sine moribus vanae.” Laws without morals are
useless. A Penn provost selected something very near this, our current school motto, in 1756. Twenty years later, on July 4, 1776, a similar message was inscribed in the Declaration of Independence. While the Penn motto asserts only that immoral laws are useless, however, the Declaration goes a step further, insisting that a rule that is unjust should be fought rather than followed. The document enumerates as self-evident truth not only every man’s equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but also that governments exist to secure that right, and “that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” The men who wrote those words were far from perfect, as we
well know. Many of them owned slaves, and voted for that right. Most, if not all, of them believed that citizenship should be a privilege reserved to a select few. They routinely voted, argued and wrote against the extension of rights to the poor, the non-white and the female people that constituted the majority of the nation’s residents. The country they founded is far from perfect, too. Two hundred and thirty-nine years after the Founding Fathers issued the Declaration of Independence, we are still fighting to correct the glaring imperfections of the system they erected. As Americans we inherit a legacy of injustice, oppression and inequality that cannot be overlooked. But we also inherit a founding idea that is more perfect than the men or the moment that gave it a voice. The idea that we can and should change the laws we find unjust, unequal or immoral. That we have the right to question powerful people and institutions, and long-
standing traditions and systems. That we must keep fighting to be happy and equal and free. I am still hurting, as so many of us are, over the violence, the terror and the tragedy of recent weeks — and, still, of recent and not-so-recent years. I am often discouraged by the hills that we have left to climb, the battles that we have yet to fight. But I am also proud. Two weeks ago the Supreme Court struck down laws prohibiting same-sex marriage all around the country, delivering a victory for an LGBTQ community that has long fought — and is still fighting — to be recognized and treated as fully human. Then, last weekend, the women’s national soccer team won the World Cup for a record third time, validating the struggle for equality in athletic opportunity that American women waged and won in the passage of Title IX. Because after 239 years, we are still fighting. We are still breaking down the walls that would hold us back. We
are still free to fight. It is our ability to remake ourselves in the face of our great errors and injustices that makes us who we are, and that makes me most proud to be here. To be young. To be a Penn student. And to be an American.

Lady-killer, loverboy: Just let me sleep
T
here’s a common misconception floating around about me. Young rheumy-eyed men wobble up to me at bars, lean on my shoulder and belch in my ear. “Womanizer,” they call me, as they nurse their beer, nodding at some sprite young woman across the room. Sometimes, they invite me to charming little basements, where they and their good lady friend promise to give me a French lesson. “Say it with me, Little Casanova, menage a trois.” But, as it so happens, I’ve only ever had sex with two women, both longtime girlfriends. And I can’t help but feel that the term “sex” might not fully apply to what happened between these women and me. Calling it sex feels dishonest, halfcocked, as though an apologetic asterisk might be necessary. Little Casanova, I am not. In the wake of a devastating breakup, however, I began to wonder whether I could be. College is presented so often as a venue for carefree hook-ups.

buffer lethargically in a minimized window discreetly on our laptops. The message is clear: In college everyone is having casual, nigh-anonymous sex, and it is so very good. Newly single, I found the evidence of this overwhelming — the sweaty G-string abandoned in a King’s Court bathroom, the used condom in a Quadrangle lounge, the rumblings of bro-talk emanating from every single laundry room on campus. Suddenly, it

antithesis — the sexy, mysterious mongoose to their juvenile cobra. The women flocked to me. There was Tanya*, who could name the first 150 Pokémon in alphabetical order. Eileen*, who vowed she could eat an entire meat lover’s pizza in under 15 minutes. Ayana*, who just didn’t see the point in using condoms. I became addicted to the chase. I was in cold sweats coming down from the kiss emoji high. Then it was over. My flirtation reserves exhausted, I’d had my fill of the chase. I sobered up, and saw it all as a disingenuous waste of time. Part of the allure I perceived in engaging in hook-up culture was the breeziness of it. In the 2013 article “Sex on Campus: She Can Play That Game, Too,” Kate Taylor takes on the rhetoric of an anonymous Penn woman. Hook-ups provide a low-risk, low-investment route to sexual satisfaction. Problematic as some aspects of the article may be, I believe these sentiments capture
the common conception of casual sexual encounters. In my experience, however, I have found that the true emotional tolls of hookup culture are understated. So often the committed relationship is portrayed as too draining on the psyche, yet “playing the game” requires an emotional investment just the same. It requires maintaining open networks of potential partners, dealing with the emotional stagnation that results of constantly opening the gate to new people, and the self-grooming necessary to even attract anyone. It exhausted me. I am proud to live in a time in which the entire spectrum of sexual customs, philosophy and morals is becoming more accepted, but I think touting one as the more emotionally efficient option is to discount the emotional diversity prevalent in our society. I have been dumped, and dumped hard, only to be advised by my peers to cut myself a break and hook up. But this, too, has been taxing and altogether not in line with my own
DAVID MARCHINO feelings. I take solace in being me as I do in others being them. Regarding my own sexual desires, for now, I take solace and pleasure in knowing that out there people are making love, and it is consensual, intimate, honest and, probably, very hot. *Individuals’ names have been changed to respect their privacy.

protests and demonstrations on campus. Groups like Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation, with the help of campus resources like MAKKU, organized protests following the Ferguson riots last August as well as after other alleged acts of police brutality throughout the year. They have also participated in city-wide civil rights protests. The first event starts on Thursday, July 9 with the A f r o -Aca dem ic, C u lt u r a l, Technological, and Scientific Olympics opening ceremony. Sponsored by the NAACP since 1978, ACT-SO is a program designed to recognize African American youth accomplishment in academics, technology and art. Advanced registration for the convention closed in May and included full and one-day event registration for $25-$315. However, on-site registration will take place in the Philadelphia Convention Center starting Friday, July 10. This is the sixth time Philadelphia has held the NAACP convention since 1910. Recent host cities include Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada. Next year the convention will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio. Notable speakers scheduled at the convention include Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf. To learn more about the convention or to see a full event schedule, students can visit the convention’s website.

The student was not comfortable discussing the internal activities of ITAs for attribution. He added, “I believe that only the metadata [is recorded], like which address it was connected to, and which computer made the request is logged, but not the content of the website itself.” Although ISC does not

routinely monitor the content of Penn’s Internet traffic, it can do so under certain conditions. “We do not examine the content of Penn’s Internet traffic unless it is in the specific context of investigating an active incident — such as may affect the integrity of the campus network or a suspected violation of law — responding to a valid legal request, or to an emergency,” ISC leadership said. These exceptions are stipulated in Penn’s Policy on Privacy in the Electronic Environment. According to ISC, “such events are infrequent.” If the University does have justifiable grounds to check a student’s Internet activity, e-mails can be scrutinized. According to the former ITA, content sent under Penn-provided e-mail accounts would be readily available for investigators. Content sent from personal e-mail accounts would
be more inaccessible. “For non-affiliated emails, these services usually use “https,” so the content of the messages isn’t going to be visible to anyone at ISC even if they tried,” said the former ITA. One of ISC’s roles is to intervene when a student on Penn’s network is downloading or sharing copyrighted material, such as movies or music, in an illegal manner. Under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, ISC is required to notify a user about suspected copyright infringement if it receives a takedown notice from a copyright holder, such as a movie studio or record label. “It’s not like you go to download a movie and ISC is immediately alerted because they’re running some monitoring software,” said the former ITA. “No, ISC doesn’t do that from what I understand. It would only be if they’re notified
by someone else.” A student is subject to disciplinary action by the Office of Student Conduct if multiple takedown notices are received. As reported by The Daily Pennsylvanian in May 2012, sanctions against students have included paying fines, performing certain hours of community service and the threat of a notation in their academic records. “The allegations and the enforcement are being driven by the copyright holders, and not by Penn,” said ISC leadership. “The number of takedown notices and/ or subpoenas we receive is considered confidential.” A common misconception among students is that torrenting or peer-to-peer file-sharing is illegal and prohibited by Penn. “Torrenting by itself is just a technology to speed up the downloading of large files. It’s when you torrent content that
is copyrighted that you run into issues,” said the source. The former ITA also noted that when it comes to streaming copyrighted material through websites, students do not face much of a risk. “So I know there are some websites, for example, that offer TV shows for free through various means that are not necessarily legal. The chances of that affecting someone who has viewed them are very slim. Typically the copyright holder is more concerned with the website itself than people who have watched the content,” said the former ITA. The former ITA denied any notion that ISC has any malicious intent in handling students’ data and expressed confidence in AirPennNet’s security. According to ISC leadership, user activity in the network is encrypted using industry-standard practice.
“It means that if someone is sitting next to you or in the room across and they’re trying to wirelessly look through your data, they won’t be successful. It’s the strongest type of security that’s offered currently,” said the source. In fact, one of ISC’s main objectives is to maintain the network security by proactively monitoring for viruses and malicious activity on the network’s devices. When disruptive activity is detected by ISC, it follows a protocol in which ITAs and other Penn staff sit down with students to assess and clear any damaging software from their devices. “Their motivation behind it is not to get anyone in trouble,” said the ITA. “They do it all to protect the student and protect their own network, specially in cases of malware that could spread across the network and infect a lot of machines.”

If the tables were turned, who would you nominate? I'd for sure nominate Jurie Joyner, my whip partner, and probably Alex Weber.

I just barely grabbed the rim, but it was enough where I lost my balance and landed on my back. A bunch of people freaked out that I may be seriously hurt, but I tried to play the macho man card and pretended like it didn't hurt ... I felt like I couldn't walk. Self conscious feature: I have a male resting bitch face.

We hear this pitcher can really put some heat on his fastball. On the hottest team at Penn: Without nominating my own team, I would have to say girls lax. We definitely have the best mixers with them. On getting nominated: Definitely pretty cool. [It’s a] good opportunity for everyone to see what else Penn Athletics has to offer, especially since no one comes out to our games. On the dating: Too many people succumb to “the scene” and miss out on some really cool and good looking people, who happen to be athletes, that aren't in frats.

Most embarrassing moment: When I was younger, I was running late to a basketball game. I was so concerned about getting on the court that I ripped off my sweatpants (those cool ones with the buttons that rip in half) and ran onto the court, only to see that everyone was laughing at me.

Restaurant Week moved to August, Penn students disappointed New dates will not conflict with Papal visit at the end of September TIFFANY YAU Staff Reporter
Penn’s large community of food lovers is in for a disappointment this fall. From Aug. 2 to Aug. 14, Philadelphia’s Center City District will be hosting its biannual Restaurant Week — an event that usually occurs at the end of September. Popular among students from Penn and other Philadelphia universities, Restaurant Week promotes the flourishing food culture that Philadelphia has to offer through discounted menus, and is now in its 12th year. Restaurant week is always a highlight for college students; however, Penn’s first day of classes is Aug. 26, approximately two weeks after Restaurant Week ends. This is a disappointment to

creditors’ offer. 13 of the 14 Greek students interviewed by the DP favored a “yes” vote. “I voted and I voted for ‘yes’, because saying ‘no’ to me has no logic behind it,” said Vasiliki Papanikolopoulos, a rising Engineering senior studying chemical engineering at Penn. The “no” vote “is driven by pride and the desire to not be told what to do by others. But for Greece to do what it has needed to do for all these years, there needs to be a government that believes it and wants it desperately.” Out of the 14 Penn students polled, eight were not able to vote because they were not in the country at the time. Most students believe that the reason behind Greek Penn students’ differing opinion is mostly due to demographics, socioeconomic standing and degree of education. “The background of the people that actually come to study at Penn from Greece is extremely different than the majority of the population. Families that can actually afford an education like the one Penn provides are not even a statistically significant figure amongst the Greek population at this point,” said Leonidas Lampropoulos, a third year Computer Science Ph.D candidate from Athens. “And if you look at statistics, high-middle to upper class Greeks were vastly in favor of ‘yes.’” The referendum’s results triggered the possibility of Greece defaulting, collapsing financially, removing the euro as its currency and leaving the European Union. With Greek banks running out of cash, citizens were imposed with a withdrawal limit
many college students in Philadelphia — including those from Drexel, who begin school in midSeptember — since most will not have moved in. Even though Restaurant Week is typically hosted in mid-September, CCD decided to move it to August so that it does not conflict with the Papal visit at the end of September. Since the Pope will be giving speeches in different parts of the city for the first time in the United States, CCD wants to give people the opportunity to experience Restaurant Week during a less hectic time. Vice President of Marketing Michelle Shannon is part of the team that introduced Restaurant Week in CCD. “Given the very busy fall this year with the Papal visit, Labor Day and the Jewish holidays, the majority of the restaurants wanted to give the summer timing a try and we agreed,” she said. Although many students are excited about the Papal visit,
of 60 euros per account daily on June 29, according to an AlJazeera article from Tuesday. One Greek student from Penn — who preferred to be kept anonymous — told the DP that he had to withdraw money in the United States for his family before returning to Greece due to the capital controls. For some Penn students, these recent government measures have caused financial uncertainty. “My own daily life has been affected in the sense that everything around me is uncertain,” said Papanikolopoulos. “My internship is affected as the future of the business is uncertain, so operations have been impacted. The people around me are worried about their futures in the country. Stores don’t have change when you give them a large bill due to the capital controls.” The Greek financial crisis is on target to reach what seems like — since 2010 — a never-ending culmination for European leaders and lenders. The country was temporarily saved from financial calamity five years ago when the the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission issued Greece a multibillion euro bailout package subject to strict austerity measures. Greece’s situation has worsened since. Unemployment is above 25 percent and its economy has shrunk by a quarter in the last five years, per a CNN report. With a $3.9 billion payment due to the ECB on July 20, all 28 members of the European Union will meet on Sunday to decide Greece’s fate. The BBC reported three possible scenarios as likely to occur: The negotiations between Greece and its creditors
some are disappointed to miss out on Restaurant Week and its good deals for multi-course meals at high-end restaurants. Rising Wharton senior Vera Kirillov, the culinary director of Penn Appetit, believes that this year’s Restaurant Week will be less successful than in years past. “I feel like this year’s restaurant week will definitely decline in sales since Penn students will not be able to attend due to their vigorous studies, especially with an undergrad population of 10,000 and even more grad students,” she said. “They will not just be losing a little bit of business, but a lot.” Rising College and Wharton junior Chase Matecun, the co-blog editor of Penn Appetit, agreed. “It’s a bummer that students will not be able to take advantage of it. I know at least a lot of my friends get really excited for restaurant week and make multiple reservations just to get a good
could fall apart, forcing Greece to exit the eurozone; the Greek banks could collapse, forcing a “Grexit” or a eurozone rescue deal; or, the flailing country could reach a revised deal with European leaders in order to ease Greece’s financial burden. “No one wants a Grexit. If [Tsipras] goes in that direction on purpose, then he is just as bad as every corrupt, selfserving politician we have had so far, if not much, much worse,” said Katopodis. “We need to stay in the eurozone and find a deal that pleases the European Commission, but is also feasible for us as a country.” With a referendum mandate, Tsipras is expected to announce Greece’s latest proposals to European leaders today. The Balkan country’s future will continue to be on the line this week and with it, the futures of its citizens — including those of Penn students. “Right now, there is no chance I’ll return right away, and probably not for a few years, since I doubt things will stop going downhill,” said Lampropoulos. “Eventually, I see myself going back, but that is very contingent on being able to find something to actually do there.” Others are more willing to face the sacrifices associated with bringing a country back to its feet. “I just moved here despite the warnings that I should not and I do not regret it. Perhaps it is because I am young and naive, but perhaps my positive energy is exactly what this country needs. I am looking to become more involved in the international relations of Greece and do my part in bringing this country back to where is rightfully its place,” said Katopodis.

deal,” he said. Kirillov and Matecun said they enjoy trying new foods and go out during Restaurant Week — like many Penn students, who consider themselves foodies — and will make multiple reservations throughout the week just to explore the food culture of Philadelphia. Kirillov added that “it’s a little bit sad because it’s definitely something that I look forward to after coming back to Penn; going out with friends and using Restaurant Week as a way to reconnect with people I haven’t seen. It’s unfortunate that they’ve moved it to August, but we’ll see if it lasts if they’ve seen the downturn in business this year.” On the other hand, Matecun believes that the lack of Restaurant Week should not deter students from trying new restaurants in Center City. “It’s kind of a trade-off,” he said. “You may not be getting the
usual experience as you would normally get. I would encourage people to go out and eat anyways. There’re still plenty of great deals in the city. If you’re willing to spend $40-50, the $35 you’re going to spend is in addition to the price of a Sweetgreen salad, and it’s definitely one of the best dining experiences you’ll have in the city.” Rising College and Wharton senior Asher Sendyk, the managing editor of Penn Appetit, said, “It’s a shame because cash-strapped students would get decent deals. At the same time, however, there are other great events to look forward to once we return such as the Kennet Square Mushroom Festival and the Baltimore Ave. Dollar Stroll.” Some restaurants are even willing to compensate for their lost customers during Restaurant Week. “We appreciate that Penn students travel across the city to dine with us. We see an

Taylor emphasized that the research coming out of the Design School at Penn can add value to the work taking place in China. “Design groups in various Chinese academies are doing research into the techniques and strategies that can be put into place to measure performance of cities. These are things we are working on at Penn and things we want to share [with the Chinese],” she said. “A dialogue between what’s going on in China can be really helpful and wonderful for both sides.” School of Social Policy and Practice Professor Irene Wong and Professor Jerri Bourjolly, both professors at the School of Social Policy and Practice, were part of the events organized by SP2 during the “First 100 Days” celebrations. SP2 held workshops on its Master of Social Work Program and non-profit organization capacity building. In attendance were leaders of non-profits in China, alumni, admitted students and prospective students. “China is interested in growing their social work labor force, particularly in the area of health and mental health,” Bourjolly said. “A number of the academics and professionals that attended the workshop on social work were very interested in learning about our curriculum, which is particularly focused on health.” Wong added that the development of the field of social work in China is in great demand. “For the national government in China, I think the goal is to have half a million social workers between 2015 to 2016, so it’s really a very important training and development for the profession there because they need a lot of social workers in terms of meeting the needs of the people … they have such a spectacularly transitioning economy and they have quite a few social issues that they need to address and that’s why that’s an important policy.” Wong said that the school has submitted a proposal for the Penn China Research & Engagement Fund, a five year funding program that will

provide researchers up to 1 million dollars from Penn, matched by up to 1 million dollars from the researchers’ School. “We are proposing an interdisciplina r y resea rch on reducing the stigma of mental illness in china in the rural community of Sichuan province with faculty from the University of Hong Kong,” Wong said The proposal from SP2 is focused on interdisciplinary research that involves the Department of Psychiatry at Penn and the Annenberg Public Policy Center. School of Engineering On June 18 and 19, the School of Engineering held its event at the PWCC on General Robotics Automation, Sensing and Perception, or GRASP. The first day was focused on high school education research, attended by between 30 and 40 Chinese high school students. The second day consisted of research presentations with between 60 and 70 faculty from Chinese institutions. Engineering Professor Jianbo Shi was one of the six faculty members from the School of Engineering who attended, and hosted a talk on social vision. Shi said that he was particularly moved by the high school students’ interest. “The high school students were very impressive,” he said. “These were students who are very interested in robotics and participated in a robotics competition in China. They were extremely well-spoken and asked lots of interesting questions.” Given the nature of the education system and culture in China, Shi said that the students’ interest in robotics was notable.

intelligent group of kids and we appreciate that they are loyal and love to come,” said Hadar Spector, the public relations representative at Cook N Solo. “We are definitely going to see a difference in restaurant week with students out of town, but we want to give our Penn students the opportunity to still join us. Cook N Solo will allow students with Penn IDs to dine for the restaurant week price if they order from a certain menu between Aug. 24 and Aug. 30. Other Center City restaurants will also make efforts to serve Penn students, even though most will not be back for Restaurant Week this year. Corie Moscow, the public relations representative at Garces Group, a community of Philadelphia restaurants, said that “it’s a shame that not all students are back yet, but Rittenhouse Row is always willing to work with Penn, and some restaurants may be extending restaurant week.”

“Most Ch i nese st udents are very focused on the exam culture because these extracurricular activities don’t count towards any of the entrance exams, so this is pure personal interest in this technology, which I find very touching.” The School of Engineering’s presence in China is valuable because of the growing need for advances in China’s technology sector. Though Shi said the middle tier of well-trained engineers is very large, the high level is “not at the level of international standards.” “Ch ina is interested in looking to catch up in terms of technology because their manufacturing capacity is oversaturated and they’re looking for ways of moving ahead, and robotics and technology like this is a major push for them,” he said. “There is a big gap between the general business climate and education in school. Education is still very traditional, while the industry sector has innovated.” The School of Engineer ing also i nv it e d representatives from the U.S. Embassy to its event to talk to the students about what it is like to study in the U.S. and how to apply to U.S. schools. School of Veterinary Medicine Professor Zhengxia Dou was one of the three faculty members from the Vet School to travel to China for the School’s event, a forum on food security. In attendance were approximately 100 researchers, mostly in the agricultural field, from all over China. “[The event] was a discussion about China’s food security, how China will feed a growing demand for food in the next decade or two and the implications of the global food security arena … how the China situation will affect the global situation,” Dou said. Yet Dou added that the research and education surrounding food secur ity in China is quite “siloed and fragmented.” The interdisciplinary work that the Vet School faculty can do in China through the PWCC will add value to the existing food security academia in China. “A lot of research going on but they are in their own field,” she said. “Crop scientists only go to conferences related to their own field and animal scientists only address their own field. What makes this conference different from the past is that it is interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary. We try to pull this together.”

Quakers’ second of the season, following their Sept. 19 matchup with Lehigh. The last time the Red and Blue played on a Thursday night was over a decade ago, when they faced off against the very same Wildcats on Oct. 10, 2002. The Quakers fell in that contest, 17-3.

The earlier gameday means that Penn will have extra time to get ready for their first Ivy opponent; The Red and Blue will now have a full 10 days to prepare for their Oct. 3 contest versus Dartmouth, a game that will also serve as the Quaker’s first home game of the season.
and allowed eight passed balls over those 14 contests. However, given the caliber of their pitching staff, the Quakers don’t need an incredible defensive catcher behind the plate to stay afloat. And besides, if Bossart was able to improve from good to great over the course of his college career, it stands to reason that Graul should be able to make a similar transition from solid role player to star. There is also the Quakers’ rising sophomore class, who barely saw playing time during their freshmen seasons amidst the depth of the squad. Now-sophomore Jakob Levison did manage to collect 31 at-bats on the season, and while it will be difficult for him to break into an outfield that includes Greskoff, Tesch and Campbell, he did hit a solid .258 as a freshman. The Quakers also have a slew of young pitching talent — such as sophomore John “JT� White — that could fill junior pitcher Mitchell Hammonds’ spot in the bullpen as he leaves to join the rotation. Perhaps some of these youthful arms could join the rotation themselves. There is also the possibility of a breakout

Mincher finished second in onbase percentage, as both were named to All-Ivy teams. Senior outfielder Gary Tesch, also a regular in the Quakers’ lineup, came through with many key hits, once hitting two walk-offs in a single weekend. Tesch also played error-free defense in the outfield. Aside from these entrenched starters, a few players seem primed to join the lineup, such as junior catcher Tim Graul. Graul started 14 games last season, hitting a respectable .245, but filling Bossart’s shoes in 2016 will undoubtedly be a difficult act to follow. It will be the first time since 2011 that the Quakers will regularly feature somebody other than the 14th-round draft pick behind the plate. However, Graul showed promise as just a sophomore last year, chalking up a .328 on-base percentage, .429 slugging percentage and 10 RBIs in just 49 at-bats. Graul will need to improve his receiving and throwing skills behind the plate, considering he only caught one would-be base stealer in six tries
player emerging, like graduated senior Connor Betbeze. The outfielder went from hitting .214 in limited playing time during his junior year to being named first team All-Ivy in 2015. There’s no telling who could make such a jump in 2016, but such a surprise would help solidify an alreadystrong Penn team. Although the Quakers have been one of the two best teams in the Ancient Eight for two years in a row, it will be difficult to overcome Columbia, who made it all the way to the NCAA regional finals against the powerful Miami Hurricanes last season. However, the Quakers barely missed beating out the Lions for the Lou Gehrig division title, as one more big hit in the nail-biting final regular season series could have given them the edge. Without a doubt, the Quakers will still have a difficult foe in Columbia going forward. But, from the bullpen to the rotation to the offense, the Red and Blue are restocked and ready for 2016. And thanks to this seemingly endless supply of talent, Penn baseball looks primed for plenty of successful years to come.

Despite loss of key hitters, baseball on rise BASEBALL | Deep
squad helps ease senior losses STEVEN JACOBSON Staff Reporter
It’s an inconvenient truth: Penn baseball lost one of its best senior classes in history. Last year, the Quakers had three members of the Class of 2015 hit over .300. Shortstop Mitch Montaldo hit 10 home runs. Third baseman Jeff McGarry led the team in walks and held down the hot corner. Pitchers Ronnie Glenn and Connor Cuff led the pitching staff to a 3.38 ERA. Among this class were six players who had been named All-Ivy, one Ivy League Player of the Year, and two MLB draftees. Yet, even after the tough losses, the Quakers will still feature a team that counts among its ranks four All-Ivy players, an Ivy League

Pitcher of the Year and many more interesting young players. Although the Class of 2015 made up a heavy portion of the Quakers’ lineup and pitching staff, the Red and Blue received invaluable contributions from its sophomores and juniors. Rising junior pitcher Mike Reitcheck finished with a 1.72 ERA and took home league Pitcher of the Year honors. Fellow junior Jake Cousins — who has been named to All-Ivy teams in both of his years in University City — was the team’s second best pitcher, pitching to a 2.32 ERA. Cousins and Reitcheck are already two of the Ancient Eight’s best, and they still have two years more to go. At the plate, incoming seniors Matt Greskoff and Ryan Mincher helped power the Red and Blue offense, hitting .320 and .328 respectively. Greskoff finished second on the team in home runs and SEE BASEBALL PAGE 9
Pope’s visit incites schedule change for football team FOOTBALL | Quakers
to play Villanova two days earlier
TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor
This fall, Penn football will have to reschedule its plans to throw Hail Marys in order to make time for … Hail Marys. A s m a ny P h i l a d elphians are aware, the Pope is scheduled to visit the City of Brotherly Love over the weekend of Sept. 26-27. Consequently, the Quakers’ previously scheduled matchup with Villanova has been moved from the Saturday the 26th to Thursday the 24th. Pope Francis, the leader of the world’s Catholics, will
be making his first visit to the United Sates in Philadelphia over those two days to address the World Meeting of Families, an international Catholic conference held every three years. During his time in Philadelphia, the man formerly known as Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio will meet with religious leaders, visit with inmates at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility and hold a massive Sunday Mass on the Ben Franklin Parkway. The crowds for the Papal visit are expected to be enormous — city officials have said they expect up to two million visitors — and transportation in and around the city is expected to be clogged SEE PAPAL VISIT PAGE 9

junior a star at javelin
WILL AGATHIS Staff Reporter
Mondschein T h r ow i n g Complex is not a heralded place. Located far down by the Schuylkill River, the training ground for Penn’s field athletes is not exactly a location that is highlighted on campus tours. But it is there, a seeming light year from the heart of campus, that junior Kelsey Hay has mastered javelin throwing. As she enters senior year,
Hay already holds the women’s Ivy League record for javelin, a mark she set when she recorded a 51.17 meter throw at last year’s NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round. Unsurprisingly, her personal best came after three years exclusively throwing javelin in outdoor track and field. Despite citing her high school track and field stint as being a mere afterthought to her basketball career, Hay credits simple repetition as the greatest cause for her annual improvement. “The biggest thing for me at Penn was getting in those reps every day, focusing on jav every
day in the offseason and not having to worry about any other sport, any other event.” Hay said. “Pretty much, all those reps I got are what helped me have the muscle memory and be able to go in there and trust my body.” Track and Field, in its very nature, is not a sport that naturally encourages team unity. But, as one of the team’s captains, the onus is on Hay to gather a diverse array of athletes — from sprinters to long jumpers — and unify them as one cohesive unit. And Hay admits that the job is not easy. “It’s definitely tough but this
year more than any other year I’ve been on the team, we’ve come together more. We’ve done a lot more things at Franklin Field as a team.” Hay said, noting that team meetings, dinners and other get-togethers have built a great rapport among the field athletes and runners. “Having [senior sprinter] Taylor Hennig and [junior distance] runner Carrie Celata who will be the captains next year along with me, I know that they’re dedicated to that too and so we’re really trying to make an effort.

M. Hoops welcomes incoming freshman recruits to team Though Penn men’s basketball’s recruiting class of 2019 has been more or less clear for several months now, coach Steve Donahue made it official last week, when he announced the six freshman who will be arriving on campus this fall. Here’s a quick look at the newest Penn Quakers: TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor
Jackson Donahue
6’0” / 175 lbs. P a wc a t u c k , C o n n . / Northfield Mount Hermon Perhaps the most heralded member of the class of 2019, Donahue — who is of no relation to his new coach — turned down offers from Harvard and Yale in favor of a college career in University City. Donahue was a captain for three years in high school and will figure to be a major offensive decision maker and leader in the four years to come.
Mo Esformes
Tyler Hamilton
Collin McManus
An undersized, scappy guard out of Florida, Esformes was named MVP of his team three different seasons while in hig h sc hool. He will enroll in Wharton.
A tall shooting guard out of Georgia, Hamilton is blessed with impressive basketball genes: his father, Derrek, was a third-round draft pick of the New Jersey Nets and played in Europe for several years. Another of Hamilton’s relatives, Antonio Lang, won two NCAA titles while playing for Duke.
The tallest member of the incoming class, McManus was a high school teammate of Jackson Donahue. McManus’ impressive size down low will certainly help to replace Darien Nelson-Henry’s presence when the center graduates after this upcoming season.
