Students ‘flabbergasted’ by lack of UPennAlert

THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

IT’S GETTING

Although shooting was outside of patrol zone, students wanted alert CARL EMMANUEL FULGHIERI & NICOLE RUBIN Staff Reporters

As police cruisers zipped across campus on Friday night, many students living off campus asked the same question: What was going on and why hadn’t a UPennAlert been sent? Around 11 p.m., a shooting rampage by a local police identified as Nicholas Glenn, 25, left a female bystander dead, and five other people injured, including Philadelphia Police Sergeant Sylvia Young and Penn Police officer Ed Miller. The shootings, which began on 52nd and Sansom streets, ended before midnight with Glenn moving east on Sansom before he was shot dead near 48th Street. Penn Police officers’ patrol zone extends from 30th to 43rd streets between Baltimore and Market streets, though whenever an officer SEE DPS PAGE 2

Making friends, writing longer papers and navigating a new city are some of the things a typical Penn freshman expects to deal with in their first few months of college. Coping with heat rashes and leaving hot rooms for air conditioned study spaces in the middle of the night are not. Engineering freshman Luke Yeagley was concerned even when moving into his room on the third floor of Kings Court English College House, one of the college houses at Penn that doesn’t have air conditioning. “It was so hot, my grandpa had to

stop a couple times because he was getting so overheated,” he said. It got worse from there. Increases in temperatures, coupled with the fact that Kings Court windows only open a few inches outward from the base, made Yeagley’s room into a place where he was unable to study. “You just can’t function when you’re dripping sweat like that,” he said. “I understand that there are libraries around that we can go to and study, but why shouldn’t I be able to study in my own room?” Eight hundred out of the 6,500 students who live in on-campus housing live without air conditioning. Hill College House’s renovations will make Gregory College House, Dubois College House, and Kings Court the last buildings still subject to the summer

swelter. It’s not helpful that Kings Court is just yards away from the recently opened New College House, where students pay the same amount in rent, adding to the feeling for Yeagley that he got the severely short end of the stick. “When it comes to the point where you can’t do anything in your room it really sucks, because you look down at the New College House with people chilling in their rooms with their smart TVs, and we’re paying the same as them,” he said. The TVs seem to be a special source of contention. Another College freshman in Kings Court, Beatrize Stephen-Pons, said they added insult to injury when she couldn’t even sleep the SEE HEAT PAGE 3

Penn Police Officer Ed Miller, who has spent 35 years as an officer, talked to media on Monday about the shooting that occurred this past Friday.

FOLLOW US @DAILYPENN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES

On Friday night, when a gunman opened fire on a Philadelphia Police sergent’s cruiser, Penn Police Officer Ed Miller jumped into action. Miller was the first officer to enter the alley where police killed the 25-yearold shooter Nicholas Glenn. Police reported that Glenn had shot five people, including a policewoman, earlier in the night, and Miller was also shot in the confrontation.

Talking to reporters on Monday night at an event hosted in his honor by the Fraternal Order of Police, Miller recalled the shooting, which left four others injured and one killed. “Your training kicks in and you do what you have to do,” Miller said. “I didn’t even think about it too much until afterwards. At the time it was just about subduing the threat and protecting the public.” Miller sped to 52nd and Sansom streets, where he sustained gunshot wounds to his ankle and hip as well SEE MILLER PAGE 5

Course fees can add up for art, science students

Science and fine arts courses often have fees ALLY JOHNSON Staff Reporter

For students who attend elite private schools like Penn and Columbia University, tuition and other expenses can be over $60,000 a year. But when course fees for individual classes — like laboratory or fine arts classes — are factored in, costs can climb even higher. But beginning this academic year, Columbia waived laboratory and other course fees for all Columbia College and School of Engineering and Applied Science students receiving any financial aid — approximately half of its undergraduate population. For the 47 percent of Penn students who receive financial aid, the policy is more complicated. Mandatory course fees can be added to a student’s cost of attendance , and aid packages are reassessed on a case by case

basis. The cost of attendance is used to determine the amount of financial need — the difference between a student’s expected family contribution and the cost of attendance — and thus to determine the size of a student’s financial aid package. University Director of Financial Aid Elaine Varas said the process is two-pronged. “One is the schools identifying what those fees are and when those fees are, as early as possible. And the second is to clearly identify whether these fees are required. So if they’re not required, they just happen to be something that they feel would be helpful for you to have, that’s also different,” she said. “We have to know if it’s required, and then when we review the student’s package, we will review the student’s package for eligibility, based on those two criteria. And there’s no guarantee that that will be funded by grants, but it can be funded. If it’s a requirement, it gets added to the cost of attendance.”

LIZZY MACHIELSE | ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

Columbia University recently decided to waive course fees for students on financial aid. Regarding Penn’s course fees, the University decides whether or not to waive fees on a case-by-case basis.

Columbia students receiving any aid will be exempt from laboratory and other course fees, regardless of whether a course fee is required for their majors and no matter the size of their aid packages. Columbia College Dean James Valentini told the Columbia

Daily Spectator that the change is expected to lift a burden that course fees previously placed on students. “They’re not facing an uncertainty anymore about, ‘What’s the cost of my curriculum going to be?’ We will now be waiving those fees,” Valentini told

the Spectator. “That reduces an uncertainty, and I think reduces stress and allows students to engage more effectively with their academic lives.” For students who major in fine arts or a natural science at Penn, several classes with additional fees are required.

According to sample schedules from each department’s website, students pay $1,050 in fees for the biology major, $1,125 in fees for the biological basis of behavior major, $1,200 in fees for the chemistry major and $600 in fees for the fine arts major. Individual course fees range from $75 for many fine arts classes to $300 for the more expensive chemistry laboratory classes. “Typically people who major in the sciences have to take more than one — they have to take bio lab, chem lab — so it starts to add up,” College sophomore and biological basis of behavior major Cole Purdy said. Varas emphasized the option for students to come to Student Financial Services if they are concerned about the additional cost of course fees. “Students need to know that if this is a required fee, and it has not already been added to their cost of attendance,” she said, “we absolutely can add it to their cost of attendance.”

Wharton Council changes Wharton club recruitment rules

The new rules make the process more personal JINAH KIM Staff Reporter

On-campus recruiting might be stressful, but the Wharton School is trying to make club recruiting less so. Starting this year, the Wharton Council — the student body that supports Wharton clubs — is implementing new policies that restrict the ways in which clubs can recruit new members. The requirements, which only apply to clubs officially recognized by Wharton, came in response to consistent feedback from freshmen and transfer

students that the club recruitment process was unexpectedly — and unnecessarily — stressful. The Wharton Council’s club liaisons tried to balance club needs with the Council’s goals, as clubs were concerned that the new guidelines could restrict their ability to select members. “This is a balancing act,” Wharton and Engineering senior Connor Swords said. Swords and fellow Wharton and College senior Erina Shan helped devise the new rules as the Council’s co-chairs. “In order to make this completely un-stressful for freshmen, we would have to disadvantage the clubs — we can’t allow every freshman to get into

every club.” The earliest application deadline for any Wharton club is Wednesday, Sept. 14 — two weeks after the beginning of term, allowing students to adjust to the academic year. The deadline was moved up after clubs complained that the three-week delay implemented last year caused some students to lose interest, decreasing applications. The new policies also include measures designed to make the recruiting process more transparent and casual, often by banning requirements that older students may have carried over from their own interviewing experiences. “The students who were

doing the recruitment … were students that had gone through on-campus recruitment, and so they knew certain questions that they were asked or what they were told to look for in a resume,” Wharton’s Director of Student Life Lee Kramer said. “I think they were setting the bar a little too high and expecting … a freshman to be as polished as them.” In designing the guidelines, the Council tried to focus on areas that added “low value” but “high stress,” such as requirements for a formal resume or brainteasers. They also tried to make the recruitment process seem less impersonal, following complaints that rejected students

often received letters with vague phrases like “Dear Applicant.” While initial feedback from clubs has been mostly positive, the co-chairs said, some have expressed concerns that the Council’s guidelines may make them less competitive. “All of the clubs that are Wharton-recognized have to follow the [policy], while other clubs don’t have to,” Shan said. “So when it comes to clubs that are often very competitive, that really care about the numbers and the talent that they get, [they] find themselves

competing against clubs that have earlier deadlines … they feel like if they had access to those candidates earlier, they might get more talent.” The Council is hoping to conduct more focus groups to get feedback on the new rules. “There were some clubs that people thought were pretty straightforward,” said Wharton freshman Dylan Milligan. “But other kids that I talked to who applied to some more competitive clubs … said that it was really stressful. And yeah, rejection stings.”

she said. Living on Sansom Street, Sandoval said she felt uncomfortable going home and searched the internet for any sort of information on the shooting. “One would think that an Ivy League school like Penn, an institution of ‘higher education,’ would take greater pride in keeping its students and staff informed,” she said. Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said in a statement that safety alerts, while a “valuable tool,” were not necessary in this case. “As always, our utmost concern is to alert the community to an on-going threat, weighing many factors, including the proximity to campus, and the undue stress such an alert can cause, especially for an incident occurring well-off campus and outside of the Penn Patrol Zone, as was the case on Friday night in that the incident occurred approximately 1 mile from our patrol zone,” she said. Sandoval’s outrage over the lack of an alert led her to send an email to Penn President Amy Gutmann, along with 21 members of the staff at the Division of Public Safety. “I am flabbergasted that there are not certain exceptions for majorly dangerous situations, such as the shootings that occurred on September 16th, 2016 on 52nd and Sansom. This is Penn’s backyard, and a major warning should be sent out to all Penn Students when a situation involving multiple deaths occurs, especially on a Friday night when most students are out and about near the Western-most part of campus,” the email stated.

is injured like Young was, an immediate “assist officer” call is put out to all officers in the vicinity. But as no alert was sent out to warn them, some Penn students came within a block of the active shooting as they tried to return to their residences. Wharton and Engineering junior Chris Painter was driving LPS student Lynette Bye to her home at 47th and Sansom streets after 11 p.m. Although the large police presence suggested that something was awry, they had no idea what had really happened until Bye’s roommate texted her at 11:40 p.m. that a police officer had been shot. “My roommate heard what sounded like firecrackers. She had no idea something was up until the police sirens started,” Bye said. “I didn’t get any other details until I got home and checked the news.” Bye’s room mates were commuting on foot in the area between 11:20 and 11:45 p.m, during the central part of the shooting. “When there’s any crime in West Philadelphia, I have come to expect a notification from the University warning to avoid a particular area,” Engineering sophomore Jordan Rosen said. “The lack of such notice on this occasion was a big misstep by the school, and they are lucky no Penn students ended up in the crossfire.” Wharton sophomore Jess Sandoval said she was walking home from a night out with three friends when she saw police helicopters and heard sirens. “We were completely oblivious to the situation and were unsure if it was safe to even walk home,”

What’s the difference between a B.S. and a B.A.? Economics majors differ in the College, Wharton CHASEN SHAO Staff Reporter

Even though students who study Economics in Wharton and the College technically earn degrees in the same subject, their experiences are far different. Students enrolled in Wharton can obtain a Bachelor of Science in Economics, focusing on the application of economic principles. On the other hand, students in the College of Arts and Sciences can graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, taking classes about mathematical models and concepts. Wharton’s B.S. degree promotes “the application of economics and business knowledge,” according to its website. A B.S. in Economics from Wharton gives students more flexibility and allows students to explore other disciplines through the school’s

night before an important interview because of the intense heat. “I tried to sleep in the library, I tried to sleep in the blue lounge, I tried to sleep in any of the air conditioned areas I could find that was still close enough to my things in the morning for me to be able to get ready quickly,” she said. But she couldn’t ever get comfortable, and went into her interview sleepdeprived. “Especially when you look down the street where there’s the New College House, where not only do they have A/C but they have flat screen TVs, it seems they’re living in extravagance, and I can’t sleep at night.” Now, she has a system. She takes a cold shower and soaks her clothes in cold water before she goes to bed. But she’s still quick to caveat her discomfort. “Having no A/C is not the biggest issue in the world, it’s ok, it’s

concentrations. “What is distinctive about Penn is that [Wharton] is more applied and less mathematical,” said Kent Peterman, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. After taking an introductory economics class, Economics 010, which is actually is taught by professors in the College, Wharton students will go on to take two statistics courses, Stat 101 and 102, as well as a business policy course, BEPP 250. Following the completion of these courses, students have the ability to choose from the school’s more than 21 possible concentrations as a supplement to their economics major. Essentially, the B.S. in Economics from Wharton encompasses a mere four courses relating to Economics, while the B.A. in Economics requires six economics courses in addition to four economics elective requirements. Two additional calculus

courses are required as prerequisites to the major. Students who graduate with a B.A. in Economics have a greater background in economic theory and the mathematical concepts behind those theories that students who graduate with a B.S. in Economics from Wharton often lack.

Interestingly, Peterman noted that the B.S. and B.A. in economics are the exact reverse of what they are in other schools. At other universities, even those within the Delaware Valley, the system that is currently in place at Penn is nowhere to be found. According to Temple University’s website, the B.A. in Econom-

ics “helps a student understand the economic aspect of current events” and is “good preparation for careers in law and business,” similar to Wharton’s explanation of its B.S. program. At Penn, the two majors in the two schools are not completely segregated. “There is a decent amount

of overlap in course load,” said Wharton and College junior Julianne Goodman, who is also pursuing a B.A. in Economics from the College. Goodman also described Wharton’s approach to economics as “mile wide”, as one that doesn’t really go in depth with a lot of disciplines that the College degree concentrates on, while the College economics major is more theoretical. In terms of long-term prospects, the paths of students who earn B.S. degrees can be different, Peterman said, but often result in similar salaries several years after graduation. Peterman added that Wharton alumni may go directly into full-time business positions after doing internships during their undergraduate years. College graduates’ degrees in Economics have more varied trajectories, some going abroad to take more courses or independently search for internships.

doable,” she said. “But for me personally, I grew up in Chicago, I slept in the basement. I’m used to being able to fall asleep when it’s extremely cold and to essentially go through what felt like a heat wave in my first few weeks on campus was really difficult, and I felt like I started off the academic year poorly because of it.” And she probably had an easier time than her friend, who she says started getting heat rashes. Director of Business Services John Eckman said the reason the college houses without air conditioning are the same prices as those with air conditioning is because of the compression of room rates from six categories to two that happened in October 2015. Now, all dorms are the same price except for high-rise apartments with a kitchen, living room and private rooms. “The point of the switch was to get as many rooms as possible to the university’s cost of attendance,

which is where financial aid is determined,” Eckman said. “So what we did, we lowered a lot of rents and we adjusted a lot of rents to get as many rooms as we could to that same price.” Director of Communications and External Relations for Business Services Barbara Lea-Kruger emphasized the new rates were based on “access, not amenities.” But for students like Yeagley, this seems like a poor excuse. “I know the whole freshman experience is that you’re supposed to tough it out, but I’ve been over there [to New College House], I have friends over there,” he said. “It’s just like, why? I don’t get it. I think they should give us a room and board break.” Wharton freshman Jordan Meachum thought she could handle the heat. “I’m from Georgia, you know, ‘Hotlanta,’” she said. But the the temperature of her room in Kings Court still caught

her off guard. “I woke up one time really sticky and it’s disgustingly hot, my friend could tell the temperature in her room and it was like 92, 93 degrees in there,” she said. “I have to sleep with a fan on my face every night.” And just within her building, she said it gets worse as you go up in the floors. “I went up to the fifth floor and it was completely unbearable,” she said. She’s also seen students, like Stephen-Pons, sleeping in the library and public spaces in the building. Even the public spaces didn’t used to be air conditioned. Eckman said that the University has been slowly adding air conditioning to college houses, first to the entire Quadrangle fifteen years ago, then to the public spaces in Kings Court, Dubois and Gregory during their renovations a few years ago, and now to

Hill. All of the rooms in Hill will have air conditioning next year. “The reason it’s difficult is because the buildings were not originally designed with air conditioning in mind,” he said. “Their electrical systems and the HVAC aren’t sized to do it, so when you go in and do it it’s a major, significant renovation.” Part of the reason they weren’t designed with air conditioning in mind is that this August is the hottest since 1880. Penn classes also used to start later than August. “We didn’t know that [the academic calendar would change] when these earlier renovations were done, school was starting sometimes a week into September,” he said. Eckman said Business Services realizes it’s hot. They were responsible for giving $5 per person to go toward ice cream in all the dorms without air conditioning on one of the hottest days last week. “Gregory wiped out Ben &

Jerry’s,” he said. The students at Kings Court saw this as a nice gesture, though not one that really helped their situations at all. “Honestly, we need some A/C,” Meachum said. “It’s not comfortable for all of us.” “Comfort” is a word that keeps coming back in these conversations. How comfortable is too comfortable? All of these students talked about how the lack of air conditioning in Kings Court has actually caused the house to bond in the common, air-conditioned spaces. “The ideal dorm room should not be this place that you’re so comfortable that you’re not social and just want to stay in there,” Stephen-Pons said. She said she knows some people who spend all their time in their suite at New College House, for instance. But she adds, “It should be comfortable enough so you can study, eat, sleep.”

I dread waiting for the elevator in Penn’s high rise buildings almost as much as I dread the actual elevator ride itself. I dread standing in the awkwardly clustered group of people waiting for the elevators, all of whom make sure to maintain a certain distance from everyone around them and constantly look downward, faces buried in their phones. I dread that moment when the elevator doors open and everyone streams inside, pushes their respective buttons, and then immediately pulls out their phones, pretending to be absolutely riveted to their screens. Yet most phones don’t even get service in the elevator. Haven’t we all entered an elevator with someone talking on the phone, who, as the elevator ascends, starts saying, “Hello? Can you hear me?” Haven’t we all rushed into incredibly full elevators at 9:50 a.m. in order to make our 10 a.m. class, and found

ourselves watching the person in front of us desperately try to refresh their Facebook feed or send a text, but to no avail? Why don’t we talk to each other? Why can’t we seem to find it within ourselves to say “Hi” or “How are you” or “Have a good night” to the people around us, even if we don’t know them? Why can’t we put our phones away, for approximately the two minutes and 20 seconds it takes to wait for the elevator to get to our floor, and lift our heads up? Why do we go to such great lengths to avoid eye contact with those around us? Because, you may say, I’m not getting on the elevator to make friends. Nor do I want to talk to anyone. I’m tired, I’m in a hurry, I’m not in the mood, I just want to get from Point A to Point B. And I can put this 20 seconds in the elevator to good use. I can read that book I downloaded onto my phone. What’s the point of making small talk with, or

making eye contact with, the other people on the elevator? It’s too faked. Too forced. Not meaningful. Not normal. It’s more uncomfortable to acknowledge the other people on the elevator than it is

This sort of “elevator culture” is not particular to Penn, nor even to college campuses, but it helps illuminate why it can be easy to feel lost in the shuffle at Penn. It is easy to feel like you are just another person being swept along on the tide, on the pilgrimage each morning down Locust to Huntsman or Williams. Just

chines, of information — it is so refreshing to suddenly be halted in your tracks, to be stopped and reminded of your existence, to be acknowledged by another person. There’s no inherent problem with being anonymous, but there is a problem if we go out of the way to avoid interacting with others. I cannot count the number of times I have been sweat-

ing profusely in the elevator trying to balance bags and boxes and no one noticed because no one getting on the elevator actually deigned to look at each other. But the other day, when I walked into the elevator carrying a giant Ikea box, the girl who got on with me asked, “Do you need any help with that?” And a couple of weeks ago, when I got on the elevator, I smiled at the girl inside. When I got off, she said, “Have a good night.” “Thank you,” I said, and meant it sincerely. “You too.” What would happen if we embraced the 20 seconds of limbo in the elevator, if we were able, for 20 seconds, to reconcile our constantly busy selves to the idea of doing nothing, of giving up our intuitive, infinite thumbing of phone screens? What if we were able, for 20 seconds, no matter how uncomfortable it feels, to just be? And in so being, recognize the other beings around us with a “Hi,” or a smile, or simply

Last Thursday, the two worst preachers in America showed up on Penn’s campus. As far as I could tell, they failed to convert a single student to the word of the Lord. In fact, the vast majority of students in the gathering crowd preferred to openly make fun of them and heckle from the sidelines. Guys draped in pride flags and girls armed with Bible verses got massive rounds of applause from the crowd, while the preachers were repeatedly jeered at and booed. The supposed “men of God” never really changed their strategy beyond switching from homophobia to racism to sexism and back, spouting the same bigoted slogans about women in kitchens and Sodom and Gomorrah, while failing to garner a single sympathetic ear. The only thing more embarrassing than their repeated failure was their lack of self awareness. They grinned and chuckled as their attempts repeatedly failed. They almost seemed to enjoy it. By now you probably re-

alize that Brother “Ross” Jackson and his partner-incrime Brother Aiden weren’t really missionaries at all. Their “mission,” if they had one, probably had more to do with the prominent donation button on their website than anything related to getting a student to pick up a Bible. But where these men failed to spread their faith, Penn’s coalition of the marginalized succeeded. We cheered in support at the queer, Muslim and POC students that stood up to Jackson, and we treated the counter-protestors and dissenters like heroes. The impulse to turn the crowd away from Jackson and starve him of attention was well-intentioned, but misguided. What our community did that day was a great, powerful thing, and any shame we feel about it is undeserved. In fact, we should beam with pride. The counter-protesters had the recurring message that onlookers should stop paying attention to Jackson’s entourage and move on with their day. It was classic play-

ground philosophy: If you ignore a bully, they’ll probably go away. Their thinking was reasonable, but I argue it was misguided — even though their very presence at the protest was what turned it posi-

vulnerable student’s shoes. Imagine you’re, say, a naïve freshman like myself, and you run into a protester like Jackson spitting homophobic vitriol. If he’s the loudest voice in the room, that’s the

It was exactly the attention we gave Jackson that allowed us to reclaim the event for ourselves. On the surface, ignoring Jackson’s misogynist clown act makes perfect sense. He’s an ugly bigot doing ugly and bigoted things, and what he wants is attention. It seems obvious not to give him what he wants. But take a moment and step in a younger, more

message you’re going to get about the Penn community: Everyone here might not be hateful, but hateful messages will go unopposed. “Failing to give him attention” isn’t very different than being a silent bystander. What I saw last Thursday was a different thing entirely. Jackson’s voice might have been the central one, but it was not the loudest one. He

was drowned out by counterprotesters holding signs that said “LOVE” in bold letters and brave feminists bouncing inflated condoms right in front of his face. The message was clear: Penn’s community is stronger than his bigotry. Of course, not everyone in the crowd was so loving. There were definitely people in the audience who enjoyed the verbal scuffle more than the politics of anti-oppressive love. More troublingly, there were definitely students who secretly agreed with Jackson’s hateful message. This speaks to some deeply problematic veins of Penn’s culture, and they’re challenges that we have to actively assault every single day. But notably, those voices were mostly silent that day. If those who agreed with Jackson learned any lesson on College Green that day, it was this: Even if politics of oppression were tolerated before, they won’t be for long. At Penn, the space for the reactionary is large and deadly, but it grows smaller every day. Our voices during times like these make this clear.

Kelly Writers House holds annual Media Day Alumni in media mingled with students, professors REBECCA LIEBERMAN Contributing Reporter

Students, professors and alumni filled the Kelly Writers House on Monday for a day dedicated to careers in media, giving students the chance to mingle with alumni from Entertainment Weekly, the Philadelphia Inquirer and other major publications. This year’s Media Day brought together experts in the fields of journalism and publishing to speak about their experiences and to give advice to listeners. Open to students, staff, faculty and the local community, the event was held for those interested in learning more about media careers and opportunities. The first part of Media Day took place at noon in the Kelly Writers

House. It included a roundtable discussion moderated by Dick Polman, a national political columnist at NewsWorks and full-time “writer in residence” at the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing at Penn. The discussion covered topics such as Penn’s journalism minor, strategies for exploring nonfiction courses, independent studies, grants and prizes. The lunchtime panel, hosted by the Creative Writing Program, included Polman as well as Avery Rome, a longtime journalist, teacher and editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Students in the journalism minor — including College seniors Taylor Hosking, former 34th Street Ego Editor Casey Quackenbush and former Daily Pennsylvanian Sports Editor Laine Higgins — also joined in the discussion. Later in the evening, the Kelly Writers House held an alumni

panel on Careers in Media, co-sponsored by the Daily Pennsylvanian and the Nora Magid Mentorship Prize. The panel fielded questions on how students can prepare for careers in print, broadcast and online media, publishing and related fields, as well

as how to make decisions about extracurriculars, internships and graduate school in these areas. This year’s panel included Washingtonian magazine food editor and 2008 College graduate Jessica Sidman, 2007 College graduate and founder of Brainpickings.com Maria

Popova, 2012 College graduate and Digital News Editor of Entertainment Weekly Jessica Goodman and 1990 College graduate and author David Borgenicht. The panel was moderated by 1979 College graduate Stephen Fried, who is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author and professor at Penn and the Columbia School of Journalism, where he mentors longform nonfiction writers. One opportunity the panelists discussed was the RealArts program at Penn, which Fried described as a way to fund internships at places that cannot otherwise afford to pay interns. Goodman also spoke about her experiences as a RealArts intern at Rolling Stone Magazine. Fried commented on the growing skill set young journalists may need. “Is it nice to be able to shoot video? Is it nice to be able to take pictures?

Is it nice to be more computer literate than me?” he asked. “Yes, of course it is. But we don’t want you to ever hear those things and find them to be exclusionary or reasons to be scared and not do the work.” Popova agreed that doing what you love is extremely important. “Ideally, you will get good at the thing you’re interested in, but there’s absolutely no value in investing time and skill and resources in getting good at something you’re not interested in,” she said. “Then you just become an employee and not someone with a career.” Goodman spoke about the importance of working on projects you care about while still at Penn. “When you get into a full time job, you’re not going to have that much time to jump into that many passion projects,” she said. “When I was at Penn, I felt like I really could follow any lead to any story.”

Wharton sophomore Mawi Fasil pursues rapping career

Mawi looks to broaden his audience with new music ROBERTA NIN FELIZ Contributing Reporter

When Wharton sophomore Mawi Fasil started at Penn last Fall, he had no plans of continuing his high school hobby of rapping. An Ethiopian immigrant from East Oakland, Califor nia, Fasil — whose stage name is just “Mawi” — had been rapping since his sophomore year of high school, but intended to fade into the background after releasing a mixtape his freshman fall. Little did he know, the concepts for songs would just keep coming to him. Before he knew it, he had written 30 songs in one summer.

“I just forced myself to wr ite,” he sa id. “I rea lly wanted to fine tune this craft and to prove myself as an artist.” He added, “This process allowed me to really learn myself as an artist — I learned that I like singing on my hooks and that’s something I look forward to doing more.” Fa si l’s song “ Frat Boy Party,” coming out this Tuesday, is one of the 30 songs he penned this summer. It’s a party song that describes what it’s like being in a fraternity, based on his experience as a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Wharton sophomore Matthew Moore, Fasil’s manager, is also a Sig Ep member, which has helped the two form a close bond. A hip-hop enthusiast

himself, Moore served as an advisor for Fasil, giving him feedback on his verses before he became his manager. “What’s special about Mawi is his work ethic and his ability to adapt and evolve,” Moore said. “Mawi is really good at hitting a bunch of different angles and just being himself.” Fasil has put on three shows since the two teamed up, including a performance at last year’s Spring Fling. Moore also helped Fasil secure a place to record his music in North Philly called Repercussion Studios. Col lege sophomore Ben G o o d m a n, Fa si l’s for mer roommate, described witnessing Fasil’s growth as a rapper. “It seems like he’s been work ing on t h is non-stop

since he got to campus. As his room mate, I think the biggest difference since freshman year is that the quality of songs has gotten significantly better,” Goodman said. “I find myself singing his new songs to myself.” “You can definitely tell he’s trying to be his own rapper and have his own voice,” added W ha r ton sophomore Osaze Newton, one of Fasil’s producers.

Fasil doesn’t let critics stop him from being himself. “I’ve heard stories of people just playing my songs just to laugh at them but it doesn’t faze me,” he said. “As an artist I have to be able to take whatever comes at me. I just put out what I put out.” Fasil’s goal is to graduate with a record deal — and perhaps even a Grammy. Until then, he is working on becoming more relatable to his

audience by creating a wider range of music, encompassing pop, rap, trap music and R&B. He also hopes to put out an EP later this fall in November. “He’s very hard-work ing, especially in the face of adversity” said Wharton sophomore Jamison Joseph “JJ” Volupa, one of Fasil’s close friends. “He’s one of the most humble people I know. He deserves every ounce of success that comes to him.”

as a graze wound to the elbow. It was the ultimate sacrifice — running into harm’s way to defend his fellow officers and protect innocent bystanders. “This is something that you don’t really expect to run into, but you hope you’re prepared for,” said Miller. “I hope I lived up to the standards of both Philadelphia and Penn and did what I was supposed to do.” Regarding the recent surge of violence targeting police officers, Miller, who has spent 35

years in the police force between his time with Philadelphia and Penn Police, said this type of violence was nothing new, but that officers should always be alert and aware of their surroundings. “The threat’s always been there, it’s just a little more right now,” Miller said. “It’s no different for me than it is for the public.” Miller expressed great concern for what he perceived as a rise in crime. “After my incident, I’m in the hospital and I see about the bombing up in New York. What’s the difference between what

I went through and what the people there walking down the street on a Saturday night, thinking they’re going to have a night out on the town [went through]?” Miller became a police officer when he was 21-years-old, following in the footsteps of other family members. He served 33 years as an officer for the Philadelphia Police Department before coming to Penn two years ago. Miller is expected to make a full recovery and hopes to return to work as soon as possible. “It’s in my blood, so I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

Copela nd has bounced around between teams since joining the league back in 2013, and it took him until last year to actually play in his first game. The Sykesville, Md. native made 12 tackles over the course of the 201516 season, but on Sunday, he added four more to that haul in just 60 minutes, and forced the first fumble of his NFL career. Fun n ily enough, t hose plays came against the Tennessee Titans, the first team to actually sign Copeland in the NFL back in 2013, if you don’t count the four days that he spent with the Baltimore Ravens. And now, with 16 tackles and a fumble for the Lions, Copeland’s NFL career looks to be firmly underway.

“So they could be upset and not really play well in the other position. But they just said, ‘No, this can work together, this can be the best defensive team in the league,’ rather than, ‘I have to be the best player on the court.’ “They’ve decided that it’s not about who’s playing over who, it’s about our team beating the team across the net.”

FINK

>> PAGE 10

I was not a superstar. I always wanted to be the fittest and the fastest because that was in my control.� Fink’s college playing career ended without any silverware and the despair that came with that is something that she has tried to avoid at every one of her coaching stops to date. “I’ve always shared with [my players] my college experience and how it really didn’t live up to my expectations,� Fink said. “I came in thinking I was going to win an A-10 championship.� Instead, she won 29 contests and lost 49. Fink’s field hockey days appeared to be over when she graduated from Saint Joe’s in 1999 with a marketing degree. She was not entirely sure what she wanted to do, with several options on the table. But one thing was clear: her future would not involve coaching field hockey. “I never wanted to be a coach.� That sentiment may have seemed rather natural given the circumstances that Fink grew up in. As a child, she saw the demands of coaching when her father had to be away from home. From college recruitment to commencement, she had to deal with three sets of coaching staffs. Any faint dispositions towards

becoming a coach were overshadowed by bad memories. Someday, Fink wanted to be a business owner. Cathy Rush, the former West Chester grad who revolutionized women’s basketball, particularly inspired her. Fink did not want to be a coach like Rush — whose victory in the 1972 Women’s AIAW Division I basketball championship led to a movie being made about her — but rather the business owner. In 1971, Rush formed a basketball summer camp with her husband. The camp still stands 45 years later. After graduating, Fink took a corporate sponsorship position with Villanova. While there, she received a call from the athletic director at Archbishop John Carroll High School about coaching the field hockey team. She politely declined. Upon seeing that the team was desperate for a coach, Fink later took the offer and agreed to coach the team for a year with her former Saint Joe’s teammate Mary Kate Brislin. Fink, at age 23, was already back in the field hockey world as a coach. She remembers going to her father and asking for advice on coaching, hoping for any guidance during this new venture. Her father offered up two pieces of wisdom: “‘Don’t smile until Christmas and align yourself with the captains.’� The captains of that team were

seniors Katelyn O’Brien and Jennifer Rauscher. If those names appear familiar, it’s because they are two of Penn’s assistant field hockey coaches and have been on board since Fink arrived at Penn in 2010. “Anytime you get a new coach you never really know what to expect,� O’Brien said. “It was exciting being a high school senior. I think having a young person come in is always something exciting. She had a ton of energy. She always pushed us.� The team was successful, winning districts in two of Fink’s three seasons at the helm. That 2001 class, the seniors during Fink’s first year with the school, stands out above the others. “They just had so much fun. That team was so fun to coach. They had a blast,� Fink said. “They didn’t take themselves too seriously but they were really successful and they really wanted to win.� “Some of my favorite memories are of that high school experience,� O’Brien said of the opportunity to play at Archbishop Carroll under Fink. It was during her stint with Archbishop Carroll that Fink decided to pursue coaching on a more permanent basis. She called Finegan, who had returned to Saint Joe’s shortly after Fink graduated, and asked to be considered when filling assistant

coach vacancies. Less than two years later, Fink was back at Saint Joe’s. Just 26 years old at this point, Fink was an assistant coach at her alma mater and was learning from the program’s all-time wins leader in Finegan. Also on that team was O’Brien, who was a junior at the time. “It was great,� O’Brien said. “I respect Colleen in a ton of ways and although I may not have always liked it, being a college athlete, she always pushed you. In the moment it may not have been something you always liked, but she got you to be a better player.� “I was the typical young assistant coach. [I thought] I knew how hard it was to be a head coach,� Fink said. “That’s why I took a head coaching job when I was really young. And I don’t know what the hell I was thinking.� As Fink mentions, the next step was becoming a head coach. The former Hawk was called by Haverford about taking on their head coaching position. At the time, Haverford was a struggling program. They had grass fields, scarce recruiting resources, and a program that had not seen success in years. O’Brien was once again reunited with Fink, this time as her assistant coach. After graduating from Saint Joe’s, she accepted an offer to assist in rebuilding Haverford’s field hockey program. Together, the two were able to produce results. Fink went 32-39 in her four years, accumulating more wins than the team mustered up in the previous six seasons. Then Fink got the call from Penn, in a similar situation. The team had not been successful in a handful of years and needed a confident, motivated coach to orchestrate their resurgence. By all indications, Fink was the right woman for the job. At the time she came over to Penn — of course, with O’Brien and now also with Rauscher — the field hockey team was still playing at Franklin Field. “The day they gave us the keys to Franklin Field was one of the coolest days of my life,� said Fink, who later reminisced about what an honor it was given that her father was a track and field

yet led to an Ivy League championship, there is still a great deal of pride felt in coaching for the Red and Blue. “When people ask me what I do and I say I’m a field hockey coach at Penn, there’s definitely a lot of pride behind that because of everything that Penn represents,� Fink said. The coaching staff shares one belief about field hockey in general: it needs to continue to grow around the country. Fink and O’Brien have made great strides to increase field hockey’s reach in the Philadelphia area and to try to make the sport fun for all ages. Fink’s College Quest field hockey is a program that brings together high schoolers from the area to play the sport and have fun with it. “We love high school sports because that’s where [O’Brien and I] found each other. That’s what forged our relationships,� Fink said. One day, Fink wants her sons to be high school athletes and have the same enjoyment that she tried to create for Rauscher and O’Brien at Archbishop Carroll. Most importantly, she wants them to grow up rabid Quaker fans just as she was for the Hawks. “I want my kids to grow up in Weightman Hall. I want my kids to be here,� Fink said. “If you ask my kids ‘who’s their team’ they say Penn.� And for her two kids, who get to grow up watching one of the nation’s premier field hockey teams, that’s the way it should be.�

coach. In the six years since Fink arrived in Philadelphia, Penn field hockey has changed for the better. Her first two seasons featured growing pains. In both 2012 and 2013 the team had four All-Ivy honorees. The 2013 season featured a Quakers team that was one game away from an Ivy League championship. The next season was a down year, but 2015 featured the Red and Blue making another run for the Ivy League title, again falling to Princeton in the season’s final contest. Fink is now in her seventh year and is still being assisted by the two who helped her at Archbishop Carroll. “Our staff is phenomenal,� Fink said. “We’re all on the same page and that’s where the trust and loyalty comes in. We’re always on the same page, we’re always fighting for the same things. We’ll hash things out if need be but we always are pushing each other for more.� For O’Brien, her relationship with Fink has lasted 15 years with only a brief two-year intermission. “It’s kind of wild to have been through the process with her. I feel really lucky and privileged to work with her. She has taught me a lot but has also allowed me to find myself in terms of how I want to be as a coach,� O’Brien said. “She’s phenomenal at letting her coaches take ownership for what they believe in.� Even though their work has not

FIELD HOCKEY | Coach

boasts long Philly history WILL AGATHIS Associate Sports Editor

There is a major misconception when it comes to coaching: few are born thinking that they want to lead a team and some never expected themselves to go into the profession. That false belief mostly comes from coaches’ seemingly innate ability to lead and manage on and off the field. For Penn field hockey’s Colleen Fink, spending her time at the Saint Joe’s field house

— where her father, Kevin Quinn, coached track and field — left her disenchanted with the idea of enrolling at the school and ever becoming a coach. Little did she know at that time, however, she would wind up doing both. Fink was a die-hard Hawks fan when she was younger, even admitting that she would cry when Saint Joe’s basketball lost games. But in a family of six kids and with three older siblings, all having attended Saint. Joe’s, Fink did not want to follow in their footsteps. She wanted to forge her own path, looking for a school that would allow her to keep the various benefits of having a coach

for a father. But at some point in the process, things changed. “Something just dawned on me, that I was fighting it just for fighting it.” At the time, Hawks coach Michelle Finegan was achieving great heights with the field hockey program. Finegan led Saint Joe’s to their first ever Atlantic 10 conference championship that season. They went to the NCAA tournament and won their first game. There was a belief that the Hawks were on their way up. “So I told [Finegan] I was going to go to Saint Joe’s and I didn’t discuss it with my parents at all,” Fink said, later adding

After rough second half, Penn must hit reset button

that her parents were confused by their daughter’s change of heart. The future appeared bright for the Big 5 field hockey program. That is, until Finegan jumped ship to Lehigh University after the 1995 season. The coach who recruited Fink to play for her had gone and in her place was one of her assistants, Christina Speer, just 25-years old at the time. “I was really disappointed, honestly,” Fink recalls. “That was a huge factor why I chose Saint Joe’s.” The 1996 Hawks’ campaign — Fink’s first — saw the team win half as many games as they had the prior year, finishing 8-12. The

You know how some days just suck? You oversleep your alarm. You’re late to your 9 a.m. lecture. Everyone seems to be in a grumpy mood. The dining hall is serving some unidentifiable mystery meat. Usually, the best option is just to go to bed early that night and pretend the day never happened — it’s pointless trying to salvage such a lost cause. Sometimes it can be healthy to just press the reset button and move on. That’s precisely what Penn football needs to do following a disastrous second half in Saturday’s 49-28 loss to Lehigh. After playing some very pretty football for the game’s first 30 minutes, the Quakers seemingly forgot how to move the ball on offense, never advancing past the 50 yard line in the entire second half. After having not punted during the entire first period, the Red and Blue did so five times after intermission.

ALEX FISHER | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Junior wideout Justin Watson had 8 catches for 133 yards and a pair of TDs against Lehigh. He shows no signs of letting up.

Symptoms of the Quakers’ Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day popped up all over the stat sheet. The 49 points allowed was the team’s most since a 60-22 loss to Fordham during the disappointing 2014 season. Lehigh’s star senior quarterback Nick Shafnisky — who shredded the team a season ago with five total touchdowns — actually managed to improve

in the rematch, accounting for six scores, three in the air and three on the ground. Only three different Penn players caught a pass. The Quakers failed to record a sack. But you know how much attention Penn should pay to those stat lines? Nada. Zilch. None. While the conventional wisdom says that teams should try to learn SEE NOWLAN PAGE 9

players go through,” Fink said. “[Playing for multiple head coaches] definitely messes with your head a little mentally.” Fink carried on despite that and even earned the role of captain in the 1999 season. The team showed more signs of life after gloomy campaigns in the prior two seasons, but it was a team that still struggled to make waves in the A10, a conference that they reigned over just four years before. “As a captain I tried to play as hard as I could. I knew what my shortcomings were as a player. SEE FINK PAGE 8

Two juniors battle for the Quakers’ starting libero spot

VOLLEYBALL | Team TOM NOWLAN

next year, the wheels came off and the Hawks sputtered out of control, winning three games and losing 17. With that, Speer left the program. The coaching carousel continued for Saint Joe’s. This time, the experienced and previously successful Joan Broderick joined the coaching staff. Nevertheless, the three coaches in three years did not leave Fink happy with the program. “It’s not good to get recruited by one coach and then get coached by two different coaches. I thought it was a major challenge and it’s definitely something I would love to avoid having my

A pair of third-year defensive specialists are coming together to put the team first, even though they’ll never wear the same uniform. Penn volleyball juniors Emmy Friedler and Michelle Pereira each have one year of experience as a starter at the libero position heading into their penultimate seasons. Friedler, a 5-foot-2 Illinois native who has played libero her whole career, wore the designated libero jersey as a freshman in 2014, finishing third in the Ivy League with 4.75 digs per set. Pereira, who at 5-foot-8 had been a hitter in high school, took a year to learn the position, but as a sophomore the California native finished second in the league with 5.26 digs per set while wearing the jersey in 2015. As Pereira transitioned into the role of starting libero,

Friedler had to transition into a role as a second-stringer. “It was definitely a transition for me,” Friedler admitted. “There were definitely some new skills I had to learn not being on the court, like how to scout for my teammates, how to call open shots, how to give Perry the best information when she’s playing that position.” But even when Pereira wasn’t playing the position, she was learning from Friedler. “Watching Emmy freshman year, she just commands the defense, and that was something I had never had to do before, because I was always just a hitter, defense always came second,” Pereira said. “Emmy does a really good job focusing and running the defense and communicating with the other passers, because when you are the libero, you have to be a leader out there.” This year, Friedler has her starting role back, but not at Pereira’s expense. Both defensive specialists have appeared in a team-high 38 sets this season. Pereira often wears the standout jersey, giving coach Kerry Carr

free reign to sub her in and out of the game, but the two are often on the court at the same time, giving the Quakers a pair of defensive stalwarts on the court. “It’s pretty awesome, playing together,” Friedler said. “It’s kind of underrated how well we work together, and now we’ve really gotten to see that in action. It’s so fun to have two defensive-minded people on each wing at the same time.” “It definitely takes a lot of pressure off the whole team,” Pereira agreed. At the end of the day, the two are still competing — if not with each other for the jersey, with themselves to be the best they can possibly be. “We’re always pushing each other to be better, but we also know that we are there if the other has a bad game, has a bad day,” Pereira said. “We push each other, but it’s also a support system at the same time.” “I think it’s good to have competition,” Carr said. “On the championship teams I’ve always had two liberos trying to SEE VOLLEYBALL PAGE 7
