CAPS branch opens at Vet School CAPS clinician to be stationed at school starting mid-October

BY CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

This year’s burst of mental health activism at Penn has not been limited to undergraduates — students at Penn’s graduate schools have been

working to bring about change as well. At the School of Veterinary Medicine, plans to more seriously address mental health will soon be brought to fruition. Starting in mid-October, a Counseling and Psychological Services clinician will be stationed in the Veterinary hospital on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to perform

initial triage assessments, accommodating the tight clinical schedules of veterinary students. 2016 Veterinary student Ashley Klein first led efforts to bring counseling services to the Vet School through a student survey and a proposal to administrators. She explained that veterinary students face a unique form of stress — they must cope with the

task of euthanizing animals, which conflicts with the compassion that drew them to the profession in the first place. “The reason I think it’s so important is not only because the schedule is really rigorous and the expectations are really high,” she said. “Veterinary SEE CAPS PAGE 10

FEVER V Fiorina headlining the Keystone Conference BY JOYCE VARMA Design Editor

Carly Fiorina will be making waves at Donald Trump’s alma mater. Fiorina, a Republican presidential nominee and former Hewlett-Packard CEO, will speak at the Keystone Conference on Business and Policy, to be held in Irvine Auditorium on Nov. 19 and 20. The conference is hosted by Keystone Business Magazine, and tickets will be sold for $99.

The conference will feature panels that explore issues relevant to Pennsylvania’s economy, especially those that combine business and policy to drive growth. Afterwards, guests will attend breakout sessions led by panelists of business and government backgrounds in Houston Hall throughout the day. “[The conference] is geared towards executives, but I believe students that are in your MBA program and some of your business programs should be a part of these conversations,” Keystone SEE FIORINA PAGE 2

Lessons through mentorship Penn students share Big Brothers Big Sisters stories ELLIE SCHROEDER Deputy News Editor

Classes, clubs, football and friends — the sheer amount of commitments that College junior Tyrone Quarterman juggles in a week is enough to make anyone’s head spin. Yet his busy schedule isn’t far from typical for a Penn student. But one of his responsibilities actually takes away from his stress: his role as a mentor in Big Brothers Big Sisters at Penn. For Quarterman, meeting with his little brother — a fifth grader named Samir with whom he was matched last fall

— for one hour a week, is a time of escape, even of refuge, from the pressures on Penn’s Ivy League campus. “If you go here, day in and day out, you’ve got this on your plate, you’ve got that on your plate — sometimes you get stressed out, or focus on what other people have,” he said. “But you go there and see someone who’s just so happy to see you for one hour a week — they may or may not come from the best background, but that little thing is enough to make them happy.” According to national statistics, the positive effects of having a big brother or big sister on an at-risk child’s life are astounding SEE MENTORSHIP PAGE 11

WORTH THE WAIT BACK PAGE

Though Greek life has seen two organizations go off campus within the past year, the administration will not get in the way of their formation. As of now, there are a total of seven Greek organizations that function without the recognition of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, most recently including the former Alpha Chi Omega and Pi Kappa Phi. The administration deems these organizations as “nuisances” on the OFSL website in part because their unaffiliated status supersedes OFSL’s authority to regulate their activities. OFSL is concerned that without this supervision, the students of these organizations will engage in precarious situations that may violate Penn’s code of conduct and put its members in harm’s way. “It’s an unaffiliated organization, so you can get students that are not as self-actualized as they should be, creating traditions out of risk,” OFSL Director Eddie Banks-Crosson said. In addition to gaining administrative backing, being a part of an affiliated organization grants each member legal protection. If members of an affiliated organization were to violate Penn’s code of conduct, the entire chapter would be investigated. Whereas if an unaffiliated organization commits a comparable offense, each member is investigated separately — increasing the likelihood that each SEE OFF-CAMPUS PAGE 3

MERT specially trained for pope weekend Team worked with DPS and Phila. Fire Department HANNAH NOYES Staff Reporter

Over the weekend, the Medical Emergency Response Team responded to a volume of calls comparable to that of Spring Fling. But MERT wasn’t responding to drunken college students this time — instead, they were working off campus, monitoring the Pope festivities. Philadelphia relied on volunteers to staff the World Meeting of Families, and when it came to emergency personnel, the plan was no different. During the summer, the Pennsylvania Regional EMS councils sent an email to all certified EMTs in the state of Pennsylvania, requesting help in staffing the Pope’s visit. Unfortunately, the MERT team didn’t have enough bikes to staff the event. In late August, a meeting was held with members of the Division of Public Safety

and other medical and public safety officials. MERT received a grant of 22 extra bikes and equipment in order to adequately provide their members with the tools they needed to help out with the event. MERT Medical Director Alvin Wang facilitated internal training for all MERT members leading up to the weekend, and DPS Chief of Fire and Emergency Services Eugene Janda assisted with communication with the Philadelphia Fire Department. The next problem that MERT encountered was the liability issue, since Penn is held liable for any MERT activities. “We were all registered COURTESY OF SARA JONES under the Philadelphia Medi- Members of Penn’s Medical Emergency Response Team rode into Center City to provide medical cal Reserve Corps so that the support for the papal visit. medical and personal liability was shifted from Penn to proper procedure and common “We encountered seizures, also from the whole field of the city,” College senior and medical conditions that are re- allergic reactions, fainting,” emergency response planning MERT Chief Sara Jones said. corded in sizable crowds, the Jones said about the event.

Business Magazine representative James McDonald said. McDonald expects 1,200 to 1,600 people to attend, most of them being policy makers, business executives and academics, but he encourages undergraduate students to attend as well. “They’re more than welcome. One of the reasons we’re having it at the University of Pennsylvania is because there’s just so many intellectual people,” McDonald said. “They should be part of this conversation to drive economic growth in Pennsylvania.” Keystone Business Magazine has been planning this conference since last fall and chose Fiorina as a the keynote speaker because of her background in business and policymaking. “Obviously [Fiorina]’s very popular right now,” McDonald said. “But there is a host of people who will be at this conference who are very smart and very influential that I think will add a lot of value.” Videos from all of the panels will be posted online on the event website, and will be accessible to the public. In McDonald’s view , those who buy tickets are paying for the opportunity to network, ask questions and be involved in the conversation. After this inaugural event, McDonald said the publication hopes to continually host it after this year. The magazine expects to begin brainstorming for the next conference in around six months, in an effort to choose the most relevant and timely topics. Though not made known on the conference website, students may receive a 25 percent discount for the ticket price by sending an email to McDonald. He expects that the price could possibly decrease in future years. “We’re excited for a great event, and we think that bringing all the right people in the room together to talk about these things might actually turn into action,” McDonald said.

person will be individually sanctioned. “If something happens in one of these off-campus organizations ... there’s a much higher likelihood of each one of them having individual records with our office,” Office of Student Conduct Director Julie Lyzinski Nettleton said. Some students may join unaffiliated organizations to separate themselves from the images of hazing and partying that the media commonly associates with Greek life. However, Banks-Crosson denies that joining an underground organization frees individuals from that stigma. “These frameworks are based around Greek organizations, and as much as we want to or we think in some ways that they are different, the framework is the same,” he said. Banks-Crosson added that affiliated organizations — with their emphasis on philanthropy and connection — foster durable friendships and enable access to a national network of Greek alumni.

He believes that without this accountability to OFSL and their national organization, unaffiliated organizations do not prioritize these principles. “The publicity that I think these groups get is that their activities are saturated in alcohol, and while that may be a fast, uninhibited connection to people, it’s not an authentic connection to people,” Banks-Crosson said. He also worries that these organizations will detract from the on-campus Greek community. “The challenge is that they take impressionable students away from the Greek system,” he said. A majority of these unofficial organizations were instituted to evade sanctions placed on their original fraternities and sororities by OFSL. These organizations claim to continue to maintain the values that were ingrained in their former Greek organizations in their off-campus ones. Their philanthropic efforts are even likely to be more effective because they are not obligated to give a portion of their proceeds to their national organization — all proceeds can go directly

to the causes that they support. Despite OSC’s and OFSL’s disapproval of these organizations, neither office has the authority to abolish them or inhibit students from joining. Instead, representatives from OSC have sought out and confronted students living in these houses. “We’ve gone out knocking on the doors of off-campus houses to talk about their responsibility in our community,” Nettleton said. “We have been proactively trying to engage students in conversations about their behavior.” Similarly, OFSL does not have the authority to officially identify and regulate these organizations. For this reason, OFSL does not have any strategy to become involved in their activities. “I don’t have oversight of those groups. I don’t have that connection. I don’t have that familiarity,” Banks-Crosson said. Instead, OFSL plans to focus on the affiliated organizations that are within its mandates. “My responsibility is for the 51 [Greek organizations] that are recognized,” Banks-Crosson said.

he incredibly strong social media support for Ahmed Mohamed may seem like an indication of a changing tide in United States attitudes toward Muslims, but the handcuffing itself is evident of an entrenched Islamophobia that will take many decades to heal. Amber Haque, an associate professor of psychology in the United Arab Emirates, wrote in 2004 that Islamophobia is based on “the main misconception … that [Islam] is a religion of violence, including the belief that Muslims are terrorists and that Islam is anti-American … that Islam is a religion of the Arabs, although many immigrants from Eastern Europe, Russia and China are also Muslims.” James Taranto, an opinion columnist for The Wall Street Journal, wrote in response to the hashtag #IStandwithAhmed on social media that the idea of Islamophobia is a “pernicious myth” and uses as evidence the effects of the “zero tolerance” policy for weapons, in which

TALL, SKINNY, MOCHA | Why Islamophobia at Penn still exists a number of incidents similar to Ahmed Mohamed occurred with white American middleschool students both before and after 9/11. Taranto also claims that the “myth of Islamophobia” is based off of “ignorant stereotypes,” since it discards the idea that Muslims in the U.S. can be white. The Muslim-American population is extraordinarily diverse, but by no means should we entertain Taranto’s problem-

happened to Ahmed was a genuine outrage even apart from the dubious claims of ‘Islamophobia’ or racism. But is it too much to ask that journalists report the facts and refrain from spinning baseless narratives?” Unfortunately, the narratives of Islamophobia and racism can hardly be considered baseless. For instance, tolerance at Penn — for any minority — is extremely superficial, because being Ivy League students does

… [B]eing Ivy League students does not insulate us from prejudices that grip the entire country.” atic idea that Islamophobia is a media-invented myth designed to sensationalize the experiences both of racial minorities and people of color and also of Muslim Americans. Taranto goes on to pose the following question he deems rhetorical: “ … [W]hat

flicts between whites and minorities, yet they exist due to structural and societal understandings of how minorities relate to each other and how they may differ. Alex*, a Muslim-American student who identifies as South Asian, vehemently replied “yes” when I asked him if Islamophobia exists at Penn and whether he had been a victim of it. While he didn’t elaborate on the experience, he claimed that “Islamaphobia is a blood relative of xenophobia. It’s a xenophobia of the mind and philosophy. But it is also deeply tied to xenophobia in general, although [Islam] is the most racially diverse religion in the U.S. and world.” He also seemed unsurprised by the idea that the Ahmed Mohamed arrest was a reality in 2015 when many Americans claim the country to be in a post-racial state. Jake*, another MuslimAmerican student, claims that 100 students, faculty and staff show up for Muslim Students Association Friday services each week. The actual number of Muslims on campus may be

larger, but the community is relatively small compared to the Penn student population and thus is close-knit and self-reliant for support. My understanding of Islamophobia and the discrimination it engenders is that it is almost solely based on visible markers of “Muslimness,” which mostly include apparel, skin color and personal grooming. Additionally, most of the South Asians and Muslim Americans I interviewed who declined to be quoted in this article claimed that current events in the West Bank inevitably serve as a backdrop for the perception of Muslims in the U.S. and especially at Penn, where many Muslims lead a politically charged existence. While I would love to have been offered an internship at Twitter and invited to the White House by the president himself, I would not want to have gone through Ahmed Mohamed’s experience of having been handcuffed and suspended from school for three days. The fact remains that most victims of Is-

RAVI JAIN lamophobia are not afforded the attention of the founder of Facebook or the president of the United States. For every Ahmed who is vindicated, there are many others who are not and will continue to be unfairly treated until stereotyping of Muslim Americans ceases to exist. *Individual’s name was changed upon request for privacy.

ow do you tell someone that you are a rape survivor? Why is the burden of telling placed on the victim of the crime? And how do you acknowledge a now-inseparable piece of your history, one that society has tried to silence through shame? For some reason, the majority of judgment is placed on the victims of sexual assault — not the perpetrators. We need to work harder to reject this norm that discredits and minimizes the experiences of survivors. In March, I became a statistic. One of those rape statistics that people are so quick to question, as if disputing it makes the immensity of the problem evaporate. One in four, one in six — whichever statistic you have arbitrarily decided seems correct, I am a part of it. I was a victim of aggravated sexual assault while on

This proved to be impossible, particularly because I was living in a country where my gender and nationality defined my

That’s how common and casual rape is: At least two females, in a pro-

To me, the Association of American Universities’ estimate that “30.7 percent of female undergraduates [at Penn] reported experiencing nonconsensual penetration or sexual touching” is be-

rate. To an extent, I get it: It is hard to believe that rape is so prevalent when it doesn’t appear to affect anyone you know. But for many victims of sexual assault, the pain that would result from not being believed — by administrators, the police or friends — is so great that they choose silence instead.

Until recently, I was also one of those people. Survivors rarely fit the stereotype of a “victim.” Whether you are aware or not, you have a friend that has survived rape. You probably have a conversation with a rape survivor every day. Rape survivors are normal, functional people that have gone through a bad experience — we may be invisible, but we are here. We hear you when you make date rape jokes, and we may not even flinch. It seems that our culture is so desensitized to sexual assault that we often don’t notice how pervasive it is, or how complicit we are in accepting it as fact. We are so desensitized that rape victims often feel that their assault is not important enough to report, and even their friends may not grasp the amount of support they need. This is especially true at Penn, where the fast-paced culture does

not lend itself to a healing process that can take years. Rape victims are trauma victims. What happens to sexual assault victims isn’t normal, but our culture normalizes — and thereby trivializes — their experiences. For all of those who will be raped at Penn, I am willing to guess that not all of them will call it “rape.” I don’t care how you feel about the statistics. Here is what you should care about instead: building a campus environment where sexual assault is no longer normalized. We must refuse to give up on our friends who have been victimized by sexual violence. We need to be better supporters and better interveners. But above all, we need to be better believers.

Recitations are balancing act for students and professors One professor changed recitations to Mondays SYDNEY SCHAEDEL Staff Reporter

There is no typical recitation — they come in all sizes and subjects, with each professor choosing to structure them differently. But in certain classes, traditional models of recitations are in flux. Communication professor Amy Jordan switched her recitation for Communication 125 to Mondays this year, instead of the more traditional Friday morning time frame. “It’s been very good for helping students to be awake, because for many students at Penn, Thursday night is the beginning of the weekend,” Jordan said. But she said that Mondays also provide an issue because students generally have more classes on those days, which makes it more difficult to find times that work. “It’s a dance really — it’s a kind of balance that we’re looking for,” she said. College sophomore Lindsey Chambers finds balancing recitations with classes to be a dance as well — and sometimes not a graceful one. “My math recitation is at 8:30 a.m., and all my other classes start at 10 or later. And it’s kind of annoying to have the flow of your week disrupted because I have to go to this one class at 8:30,” Chambers said. “Most people have schedules that work with early mornings, but no one wants to be there.” Chambers has a weekly quizbased math recitation, a physics one that closely resembles office hours and an art history recitation that sometimes involves traveling to Center City to look at examples of architecture. But she said that they all share some universal aspects. “People who need it for their grade are going to go. People

For some professors, the role of the recitation at Penn is in flux.

who need help are going to go. But people who don’t care aren’t going to go, and I don’t think you can change that,” she said. Economics professor Rebecca Stein’s recitations are also changing, but not to cater to students’ party schedules. “I try to minimize babysitting,” Stein said. Instead, she’s had to adapt her recitations to the new flipped classroom model that’s being implemented in certain subjects. Students watch videos at home and then work through problems in class, which means that the traditional role that the recitation provided — working through homework problems — isn’t really applicable anymore. Instead, Stein now sees recitations as a way to delve into more difficult material, as in the kinds of things that students would more likely see on midterms. “I’m not sure this is the ideal,” she said. “I’m still trying to mold where that recitation piece is going.” Religious Studies professor Justin McDaniel has perhaps

slightly more radical ideas about recitations than most. “I would ideally want a recitation once a month for a marathon four-hour recitation that students really prepared for, where there could be reading discussions and paper writing workshops,” he said. But for now he’s sticking to the once-a-week model. And as for catering to students’ inability to wake up early on Fridays, he sides more with Stein. “If students can’t make it to a 9 a.m. recitation on Friday, then how are they going to eventually have a job?” he asked. “We have to provide all the resources to help them excel, but they also need to be adults.” McDaniel said he sees a deeper underlying issue with apathy toward recitations, which stems from Penn students’ priorities. “Penn students primarily are concerned about grades and not about the learning,” he said. “Class is secondary to clubs and activities and launching new apps and startups.”

Interracial couples feel pressure from within JESSICA WASHINGTON Staff Reporter

Outside the normal pressures of relationships, students in interracial couples perceive additional challenges. Between now and the mid90s, support for interracial couples has increased over 40 percent according to a 2013 Gallup poll. At Penn, some interracial couples say that others seem not to notice their mixed relationships. “I think people are generally understanding of my relationship,” College sophomore Sydney Morris said. “I’m seeing more and more interracial couples at Penn. It’s pretty

normal now.” Even so, Wharton junior Taylor Brown feels she still gets judged from time to time for being a Latina and black woman dating an Asian and white man. “I think there is less of a stigma now than there was some years ago, but you still get those stares on the street,” Brown said. Morris, who is black and whose boyfriend is white, feels societal pressure to date others within her own race, but has not felt this pressure from those close to her. Students in interracial relationships interviewed said that much of the pressure comes from within their relationships themselves.

Due to their differing experiences, she said, her boyfriend can’t always understand the issues she has faced as a black woman, though he tries. This can be true for non-heterosexual relationships as well. One black freshman, who preferred to remain anonymous as she has not made her sexuality public, found that sometimes race could be a frustrating issue in her relationship with her girlfriend who is Middle Eastern and light-skinned. “I think it bothered me sometimes that she didn’t have to deal with race if she didn’t want to,” she said.

each other’s backgrounds. “She wanted to understand, and there was always that knowledge that it was a choice for her to be an ally,” the freshman added. Both she and Morris feel that their partners’ attempts to understand what they go through are important to making the relationships work. For the most part, these students wish there was even less focus on the race of the person they are with. “I’m not dating this guy to make a point. I don’t get why there has to be approval from people,” Brown said. “I date him because he’s him,” Morris said.

Y-Prize competition prompts students to challenge technology Participants propose commercials applications ISUN JAE LEE Contributing Reporter

The fourth-annual Y-Prize — a competition in which teams propose innovative commercial applications for technology invented by Penn researchers — will hold its kick-off event on Monday. The Y-Prize is a competition in which students examine the intersection of engineering and business, find applications for cutting-edge technologies and step into the shoes of budding entrepreneurs. Instead of coming up with innovative solutions for problems, participants need to identify problems for the technology to solve.

“more strictly just engineering” in the past, they’ve branched into the field of biomedical engineering this year “using technologies that were developed in a medical context, but really can have applications that go far beyond that field,” as Michelle Eckert, marketing and communications coordinator of the Mack Institute for Innovation Management, put it. The competition has two phases: In the first phase, each team submits a video pitch and slide deck online illustrating an idea for an application of YPrize technology. Finalists, who are announced on Nov. 20, enter the second phase, in which they present their ideas to a panel of industry leaders who decide the winning team that will receive a prize of $10,000. Many of the ideas generated during past years have been developed into innovative and successful companies. The winners of the 2012-13 Y-Prize were 2015 Engineering graduate Dick Zhang and 2016 Wharton Ph.D. student Andy Wuof Identified Technologies. Their idea was to use self-piloting aerial survey drones for land surveying and aerial mapping. “Today, we’re a fully operational company,” Zhang said. He largely attributed his company’s success to the Y-Prize, saying that if it weren’t for this competition, he “most certainly would not have pursued this kind of entrepreneurial work.” The winners of the 2014-15 competition were 2015 Wharton and Engineering graduates Ashwin Amurthur and Teddy Guenin of Graphene Field Effect Transistor-Track Technologies. They utilized graphene, a patented nanotechnology developed by Penn Engineering professor A. T. Charlie Johnson, to invent the graphene field effect transistor, which detects leaks during fracking. Previous winners offered words of wisdom for future competitors. Zhang reflected that storytelling was one skill he realized was important during the competition . “Effectively telling a story in the 10 minutes for your pitch and keeping compelling aspects in your story is probably the most important of skills that you could work on,” Zhang said. Guenin added that competitors should “think outside the box on whatever the technology could be used for because the ideas the judges are really going to like are going to be the nonobvious ones.”

Penn ranked No. 10 best university for student loan borrowers

Owner of HipCityVeg brings vegan issues to Penn

Ranking due to high income rather than low debt

Speaker series focused on Penn environmentalism

GAJAAN SITTAMBALAM Contributing Reporter

Despite student criticisms of Penn’s financial aid system, Penn has been ranked the No. 10 best university for student loan borrowers by MagnifyMoney. The ranking conducted by MagnifyMoney is based on two major aspects: the average income of working students 10 years after beginning their college career and the amount of student loan debt they have at that time. MagnifyMoney founder Brian Karimzad said that “the Penn story is driven more by high income rather than low debt.” Enrollment at Penn comes

with a large sticker price, and about 33 percent of students in the Class of 2015 used loans to finance their education, according to Director of Communications for Student Financial Services Marlene Bruno. The median debt of Penn students 10 years after starting college is approximately $20,0 0 0. However, data from the Internal Revenue Service states that the median income of students around the same time is about $80,000. Compared to schools in the “Bottom 20,” on average, Penn student loan borrowers are in a good position to repay their student loans in a reasonable amount of time. For “Bottom 20” graduates, median income is as low as around $15,000, and median loan balances are as high as about $43,000 10

years after starting college. MagnifyMoney attributes these statistics to Penn’s large endowment, prestigious reputation and strong alumni network, all of which bring higher earning potential to students. Penn’s resources also allow for a need-blind admissions process that gives talented students the opportunity to study regardless of their socioeconomic background. Founded by Brian Karimzad and Nick Clements one year ago, Magn if yMoney is a company that seeks to offer comparisons between products and other investments for clients, helping to bring transparency to decisions which are not necessarily intuitive due to the large abundance of products that are available in the marketplace.

EMILY YU Contributing Reporter

HipCityVeg founder Nicole Marquis and Penn Environmental Sustainability Director Dan Garofalo were featured in IMPACT magazine’s sustainability speaker series cohosted by the Penn Vegan Society and the Puerto Rican Undergraduate Student Association on Sept. 27. A Temple University graduate born and raised by a Puerto Rican family in Philadelphia, Marquis founded the first HipCityVeg location in 2012. Since then, she has added three more stores in Philadelphia and Washington D.C., including one on 40th and

Locust streets. Marquis first became interested in nutrition in 2001 when she began reading about healthy diets. She became a vegan in 2008 and realized the significance of a green diet after witnessing her parent’s improved health when they refrained from eating meat. Marquis later discovered that a green diet was also tremendously important in preserving the environment, due to the sheer amount of food humans collectively consume. However, she said she noticed it was very challenging to integrate “the organic concept” into her restaurant business. Marquis expounded on “the triple bottom line” she experienced running HipCityVeg to balance the

tension between profit, planet and people. She said she built HipCityVeg as a sustainable brand by providing organic, eco-friendly ingredients for a clientele with the same mission: preserving the environment and their health. “Let today be a day of opening minds and strengthening commitments,” Marquis said. Garofalo also showcased Penn’s sustainability efforts as specified in the Penn Climate Action Plan 2.0. He emphasized that energy conservation is present on Penn’s campus through campus construction, sustainable low-carb diets in dining halls as well as student curriculum. “Environmentalism is a value system like religion,” Garofalo said. “It impacts everything we do.”

medicine involves ending lives on purpose.” 2018 Veterinary student Molly Klores, who also worked to put the program into place, noted that specifically addressing mental health through CAPS services will help facilitate conversation about an issue that often goes without attention. “I think that mental health and wellness is important for everyone,” she said. “The veterinary school and the veterinary profession could really, really benefit from opening the dialogue about mental health and wellness.” However, efforts were not limited to students — faculty and staff at the Vet school have had mental health on their minds since a 2013 symposium at Ohio State’s College of Veterinary Medicine that focused on student mental wellness. Realizing the need to address the issue, administrators began looking at university resources to see what could be done.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM “The students and the administrators were actually working parallel towards the same goal,” said Mary Bryant, executive director of the Office of Students at the Vet School. “This is becoming an an increasing concern about the wellness of our students on a national basis.” Ultimately, the Vet School reached out to CAPS and arranged for a clinician to provide services for a few hours each week in the Veterinary Hospital. If the program is successful, CAPS hopes to expand services in the Vet School and enact similar programs in other graduate schools. “If we notice that this is really popular and that students do take advantage of it, certainly, I’m hoping to expand it,” CAPS Director Bill Alexander said. “If it worked out ... this would be a precursor to a satellite office.” Alexander explained that the greatest demand for these kinds of services come from schools whose students have busy clinical schedules, such as veterinary, dental and medical students in their later

years of study. The counselor — located directly in the hospital — will make it easier for students to get the help that they need. “We’ve already had other schools express interest,” Alexander said. “It’s kind of a great opening for a new model to bring professionals to the students.” Once the program begins, Bryant hopes that CAPS will be able to better identify specific mental health issues among veterinary students and address them. “The way I envision it is that perhaps [the clinician] will see patterns in some of the things that are troubling our veterinary students, and maybe we can even start having group sessions and really start having this person become an integrated part of our community here at Penn Vet,” Bryant said. For now, the services are intended for veterinary students — though Alexander said that he can’t imagine a clinician turning a non-veterinary student away. However, in the future, students may be able to choose between many options when in search of help.

MENTORSHIP >> PAGE 1

— compared to children not in the program, participants are 52 percent less likely to skip school, 46 percent less likely to start using illegal drugs and are overall more confident in their academic performance. For Penn students who volunteer as big siblings, these relationships have had powerful effects on their lives as well. Quarterman and other students in the program say that the hour each week that they spend with their “littles” provides them with more than just fun and games — it brings some much-needed perspective to their lives as college students, where juggling studying and sleep with pregames and parties can start to feel like an impossible balancing act. In addition to playing basketball and Jenga, Quarterman spends some of his time with Samir practicing reading and doing homework. But the learning that takes place in their relationship is far from onesided. “I come back [to campus] and think, ‘Wow maybe I could be more like that.’ Maybe I could look at the positives instead of the negatives,” Quarterman said. Since the pair was matched up last September, they’ve gotten more and more in-sync, he said, getting comfortable with each other and even assimilating to each other’s sense of humor. Quarterman said that one of the defining moments of his experience was when their match coordinator, the person who creates and supervises relationships between bigs and their littles, told him that Samir really looked forward to seeing him every week. That’s when he knew that he was having just as positive of an impact on Samir as Samir was having on him. “It’s one hour a week where I’m not going to class, I’m not in practice, I’m not studying — it’s such a relief to just hang out and see someone else just smile and enjoy life,” he said. For College senior Addie Maguire, who also volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters, most of her relationships with friends have changed from her freshman to her senior year, but one has stayed the same: her relationship with her little sister, Makayla, with whom she was matched only a month into her first semester at Penn. Three years later, Makayla is now a fifth-grader, and though their pastimes have evolved from Candy Land to shooting hoops, the one hour a week they spend together has remained constant. The pair has stayed close through periods of separation, including Maguire’s semester abroad junior year, as well as over the summers, during which they exchanged frequent, often emojifilled, text messages. “It’s been amazing to watch her grow and watch our relationship grow and just have that time in my week — it’s really easy and simple, and she actually feels like my little sister,” Maguire said. Like Quarterman, Maguire said that her relationship with her little has had an unexpected impact on her own life as a student, reminding her to take a step back and reflect in a fast-paced campus environment that doesn’t often lend itself to introspection. “It puts ever ything in

perspective,” Maguire said. “I feel like it’s really easy to be [on campus] and be wrapped up in the Penn bubble and only think about yourself ... It’s nice to get out of that at least once a week and remember that Penn isn’t all there is.” Additionally, giving Makayla advice on how to deal with friend or sibling drama, as well as supporting her in transitioning to a new school, have helped Maguire take a critical look at her own life and reflect on how she has handled similar situations in the past. “It’s a really valuable tool for self-reflection,” she said of being a mentor. College senior Eric Shiuey joined the program for a different reason — after his family moved from New Jersey, where he could see his little sister every other weekend, to California, where he

could only visit once or twice a semester, he wanted to step into the role of being a big brother that he was missing out on. He said that his relationship with his little, Jayvon, who is the same age has his sister, has given him a new perspective on how to be an older brother, and it helped to fill the gap of time he used to spend with his sister at home. “It really became just seeing a friend once a week — he’s a little brother to me,” Shiuey said. College senior and President of Penn Big Brothers Big Sisters at Penn Laura Ruiz-Colon has been matched with her little, Destiny, for three years, a relationship that ultimately inspired her to help foster more big-little pairs. Painting their nails in glittered hues, swooning over Justin Bieber and trying to imitate Beyonce’s dance moves with her

little became more than just an hour of volunteering — for RuizColon, their time together soon became a comforting refuge from the tumultuous and sometimes overwhelming experience of freshman year. In the midst of a fast-paced life on campus, she found herself looking forward all week to the hour that she could spend laughing and having fun with Destiny. “I knew that there were bigger problems than not doing so well on an assignment or feeling a little bit tired — there were things beyond what the priorities are here. It just put things in perspective for me while I was here and made me more appreciative.” Ruiz-Colon agreed with her fellow mentors that the program provides an opportunity for Penn students to learn from their littles.

Will the residual holiness of the papal visit bless Penn men’s soccer with its first win of the season? On Tuesday, two days after Pope Francis’ departure, the Quakers will make the short trip to Saint Joseph’s to take on the Hawks. The teams share a long, storied rivalry, and Tuesday marks the 28th edition of this Philadelphia Soccer Six matchup. Penn (0-5-1) has historically dominated the series, with an all-time record of 24-4-0 against Saint Joe’s (2-6-1), including a thrilling overtime win against the Hawks a year ago. In that matchup, the Quakers put two in the back of the net, which is double their total from this year so far. The Red and Blue enter Tuesday’s match after suffering a 2-0 defeat to No. 21 Penn State, a loss that proved both disappointing and encouraging for the winless (and nearly scoreless) Quakers. Penn, falling victim to a converted penalty kick in the first half, improved drastically as the match wore on, generating many scoring chances after the break. “I thought in the game against Penn State, quite honestly, our guys deserved more out of it,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “I felt like we deserved a result. I think we put in a complete game.” Freshman Jerel Blades was particularly impressive, as he

Senior defender James Rushton and the rest of the Quakers’ back line will likely need to be strong against Saint For Fast Delivery Call 215-386-1941 092315_Penne 1 9/23/15 11:54 AM Joseph’s, especially given the struggles of the Penn offense, which has registered only one goal thus Daily_Pennsylvanian_PRINT.pdf far. 4004 Chestnut Street or Order Online @ newdelhiweb.com

used his speed to slice through the left wing of the Penn State defense. His brilliance on the ball resulted in many offensive opportunities for the Quakers, including a near-penalty late in the second half. Fuller sees Blades’ showing as a sign of things to come for the rookie. “If that’s his baseline performance going forward, it really bodes well for his future,” he said. “It was a good confidence boost for him and for this team.” Saint Joe’s, however, possesses a dynamic and explosive threat of its own. Senior forward Emmanuel Temeh, the reigning Atlantic 10 Player of the Week, has been a force for the Hawks, racking up four goals and nine points in the early stages of the season. Pen n, however, is not daunted by Temeh’s offensive prowess. “We have a lot of confidence in our back line and our keepers,” senior back James Rushton said. “We’re not going to throw anything too special at [Temeh]. We’re just going to try to play our game, and I’m sure

it’ll work out fine.” Rushton and his teammates, despite their confidence, also understand the implications of Tuesday’s game. For both teams, this will be the second and final match for seeding within the Philadelphia Soccer Six, a collective that also includes La Salle, Drexel, Villanova and Temple. “Knowing that they are a Philly team always make it a rivalry,” Rushton said. “We want to be the best team in the city, so when we go up against a Philly team there’s always that extra motivation to win.” While the coaches and players insist on optimism going into the match, there are still question marks that loom large over the Red and Blue. It is still unknown whether defensive stalwart Matt Poplawski or starting goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne will be available for Tuesday’s contest. The Quakers may have to overcome their absences to claim their first victory of the season. Regardless, Penn’s offense will need to come to life if it has any hope of putting its first win on the board. C

going to medical school, Kozloff wound up swimming for the Quakers in addition to his basketball play. In the pool, Kozloff qualifed for nationals in four events in which he finished in the top 10 in the nation. He would go on to matriculate at Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perelman School of Medicine and be named Penn Med Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alumni board chairman. On top of that, he was inducted into the Penn Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000 and is one of the benefactors of the Kozloff/Anderson Scholarship for Penn studentathletes who matriculate to the medical school. One of PMHASâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; senior members, senior wrestler Brooks Martino, found Kozloffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story interesting because the former swimmer had to juggle the same commitments as current student-athletes, albeit in a different era. Hay, similarly, found the alumniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation to be insightful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For them to give us their first-hand account of [their

WEEKEND

WORTH THE

WAIT RILEY STEELE

It finally happened. No, this isn’t some elaborate joke. Penn football really did shock then-No. 4 Villanova on Thursday night with a 24-13 win, an effort so comprehensive that the final score doesn’t quite do it justice. Yet while this is the first time the Quakers have taken down their Big 5 rival in 15 tries and 104 years, the impact of the victory goes beyond coach Ray Priore’s squad. That’s because this was the weekend for which Penn Athletics as a whole has been waiting for a very long time. The past several years haven’t been incredibly kind to the Quakers, both on and off the field. By now, you know how the once mighty men’s basketball and football programs have fallen lately, failing to compete for Ivy League titles as they once did

with such voracity. But beyond those marquee teams, Penn’s athletic department at large has failed to find an effective solution to combat the problem of student apathy. Winning cures all ills, but it’s hard to market championships when people aren’t paying attention to the teams that are doing the winning. As a result, the Red and Blue’s upset over the Wildcats was the first signature on-field moment of Grace Calhoun’s tenure as athletic director. And that moment could not have come at a better time. Not to be redundant, but since taking over in July 2014, Calhoun’s tenure has largely been defined by sweeping staff changes. Heading into the fall season, after only two Ivy titles last year and another summer defined by turnover within the coaching ranks, it wasn’t hard to foresee the detrimental impact a — for lack of a better term — boring fall

For all of Penn’s student-athletes, there exists a never-ending struggle between athletic and academic commitments. The University’s new Pre-Med Health Athlete Society looks to help students handle that lifestyle and pursue their intended medical-based careers through internships and networking. Since its founding in November 2013 by thensophomores Alex Agathis, a field hockey midfielder, and Kelsey Hay, a javelin thrower, PMHAS has experienced steady growth, with over 75 active members and more

than 50 alumni in its database. The duo founded the society after agreeing that the medical community was not well represented at student-athletegeared alumni mentoring programs. Agathis and Hay set off to form their own group that concentrates specifically on fulfilling the requirements to pursue further education in health, be it through medical, nursing, veterinary, dental or other health-based programs. As they say in their mission statement, “we will promote awareness about the rigorous demands associated with fulfilling the role of a scholar athlete while pursuing a future in healthcare.” In order to go about this, the club offers several events each month.

Penn football’s stunning win over Villanova last Thursday earned its players some hardware this week. On Monday, sophomore wide receiver Justin Watson was named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. The Bridgeville, Pa., native reeled in five passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns, doing all his damage in the first half before exiting the Quakers’ upset due to an injury. Watson, the only player from

either team to find the end zone in the first half, helped spark the Red and Blue on their way to a wire-to-wire victory — their first win over the Wildcats in over 100 years. The underclassman’s performance came less than a week after his dominant showing in Penn’s season opener against Lehigh. In the Quakers’ 42-21 loss on Sept. 19, he totaled 10 catches for 143 yards, the first time in his career he crossed double digits in receptions and went over the century mark in yards. Watson will look to continue his hot start to the season in Saturday’s Ivy League opener against Dartmouth at Franklin Field. The SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 15
