Congressional gridlock halts Penn’s legislative goals Penn’s lobbying for funding and patent reform were affected by gridlock JONATHAN BAER Staff Writer

While gridlock in Washington continues to cripple countless legislative efforts from across the political spectrum, Penn’s legislative agenda has been left to suffer. One recent Penn-sponsored bill halted by partisan bickering is the Manufacturing Universities Act of 2014, which would give Penn $5 million per year for the next four years. The University quickly endorsed the bill after it was introduced by U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Aug. 11. The bill would also allocate additional funding to manufacturing engineering programs at 25 research universities across the country. Although the bill has bipartisan backing and the active support of major research universities, including Penn, the prospects of the bill passing Congress have grown increasingly bleak. “It is possible that something could happen during the lame duck session, but I kind of doubt that,” said Associate Vice President of Penn’s MANUFACTURING Oﬃce of Federal RelaUNIVERSITIES tions Bill Andresen, who ACT OF 2014 is Penn’s chief lobbyist in Congress. “I think the The bipartisan bill odds of any significant was introduced on legislation passing this Aug. 11. year are pretty small.” For Penn, this could It would give $5 be problematic for promillion to Penn, as fessors who want to dewell as to 24 other velop their research into universities, each a marketable product. year for the next “One of the things four years. that this manufacturing initiative would do is … U. officials aren’t provide funds to help optimistic the bill translate the research gowill pass this year. ing on in universities into SEE LOBBYING PAGE 7

College soph. Benjamin Fogel spoke on Europe’s last dictatorship CLAIRE COHEN Staff Writer

Convened for the United Nations Human Rights Council, dozens of world leaders took their seats as College sophomore Benjamin Fogel took the ﬂoor. “It’s exciting to know that at this moment what you have to say is just as important as what anyone else has to say in that body,” Fogel said. “I put all my energy into making sure I did the best job possible.” Fogel spent his summer in Geneva as an intern for United Nations Watch, a non-govern-

mental organization that monitors the UN’s performance. During his two-month stay, Fogel had the opportunity to track debates, take notes while the council was in session and attend side meetings where organizations and countries began tackling world issues. Despite the global nature of the council, Fogel spent much of his time researching the country on which he presented — Belarus. “[Belarus] doesn’t get a lot of media attention even though it’s the last dictatorship in Europe,” Fogel said. “Oftentimes the president of Belarus is quite open about his brutality and suppressing the political opposition, but it is rarely discussed.” While in Geneva, Fogel also

conducted research funded by the Hassenfeld Foundation’s Social Research Grant through the Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships. The piece, titled “Measured by It’s Own Yardstick: A Critical Look at the Human Rights Council” compares the work of the council to the preceding Commission on Human Rights and analyzes whether the council lived up to the principles of its charter. It will be on display at the CURF research expo on Sept. 9. “Something that really excited me was performing actual research and being able to experience what went on firsthand,” he said.

NEW APPS AROUND TOWN

Humin

An app that syncs your phone, Facebook and LinkedIn contacts with your calendar, email and voicemail to give context to your contacts. It aims to help you ﬁnd your contacts even if you can’t remember their names. Contacts can be searched for based on where they live, work or with whom they are friends. Cofounded by 2011 Wharton graduate Ankur Jain, Humin has had high ratings in the Apple app store over the past few weeks and has been featured by Business Insider, Businessweek and the Hufﬁngton Post.

Hangify Created with Penn students in mind, Hangify allows users to interactively keep track of events, meetings and social networking. College junior and co-founder Mervyn Arnold-Lyons believes that Hangify will be a good platform to coordinate really anything that people do in with other people. "We all live busy lives," he says. "We have student group events, we’re scheduling meetings, and within those groups maybe even rehearsals or getting some people together for a project, or trying to decide what to do on Friday night." Arnold-Lyons says he sees Hangify as a daily use app for discovering, organizing and sharing schedules.

Friendsy A social networking app that allows you to browse for potential friends or "more-than-friends" around campus. “We wanted to give people an easier way to branch out of their social circles without feeling any kind of pressure or discomfort," Princeton senior and co-founder Michael Pinsky explained. "So the idea we had back in 2012 was that you use your .edu address which immediately places you in a community — a network of people only from your school." Those who download the app indicate on other students' proﬁles whether they're looking for friends, hook-ups or dates. A new feature called Murmur allows users to anonymously compliment a classmate. Everything in the Murmur feed is ﬁltered through for positivity. Pinsky and Princeton senior and co-founder Viadhy Murti plan to launch to a total of a quarter of a million students this fall, including at Penn.

Notice A social networking app geared toward promoting positivity on campus. Cofounded by 2014 Wharton graduate Edward Lando and Engineering sophomore Yagil Burowski, Notice allows students to anonymously post compliments and thoughts. “Since a lot of college students are under stress and have a lot of stuff going on in their lives … we wanted to create a place where people could share how they’re doing, how they’re feeling, what’s happening and they could do that anonymously and wouldn’t have to be worried about their name," Lando explained. "The conversation wouldn’t be about their names but rather about what’s actually happening.”

Seratis Seratis is messaging application that "enables doctors, nurses and other health care providers to communicate with each other via text, images and videos,” according to its website. Seratis is a startup cofounded by Wharton senior Divya Dhar and Wharton MBA student Lane Rettig. The app aggregates each patient's health care providers for easy reference by other health care professionals who interact with the patient. Reporting by Esther Yoon Graphic by Laine Higgins

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 Vice Provost for Education Andrew Binns will end his tenure at the end of the academic year. Binns, pictured here in September 2012 at the official launch of Penn’s reaccreditation process, is in his eight year as vice provost for education.

Vice provost for education to step down in spring KRISTEN GRABARZ Deputy News Editor

Vice Provost for Education Andrew Binns will step down from his position after this year, Provost Vincent Price said on Thursday at a meeting with Daily Pennsylvanian staff. Price said he plans to assemble a search committee to identify a replacement for Binns later this year. This search will join those for two new deans — for the Law School and the School of Engineering and Applied Science — on the provost’s agenda. “I’m confident we’ll have a great replacement there — for the same reasons that I’m confident we’ll do well with the dean searches,” Price said. “Andy’s been so effective that I think people will be keenly interested in stepping forward to occupy that role.” Now in his eighth year as vice provost for education, Binns oversaw Penn’s reaccreditation process last year. “He had no intention of serving for eight years, but he’s been so good at his job that for the last couple years I’ve been pleading with him to stay on,” Price said. The vice provost for education is responsible for overseeing educational programs and University-wide educational

policies that govern teachers and students at Penn, according to the Provost’s website. Price added that the position is significant, as the vice provost for education works closely with the graduate and undergraduate deans as well as the vice provost for university life. Binns was out of the oﬃce

and not immediately available for comment on Thursday. Correction: A previous version of this article erroneously stated that Binns oversaw the search for new school deans. In fact, the vice provost for education does not oversee dean searches. The DP regrets the error.

f you’re like me, you’ve heard your not-poor friends use the phrase “I’m poor” a lot. I’m guilty of it too. I’ve explained to my friends that I have to take SEPTA rather than a cab because I’m “poor” or that I can’t go to a concert because it’s $45 and “I’m poor.” Somehow, the glib use of this phrase has slipped into the Penn vernacular, and it’s a bad habit that we all need to stop. The truth is, as a population, Penn students are not poor at all. A glance at our financial aid statistics shows that 55 percent of students at Penn come from families who are deemed capable of paying sticker price for this university, about $60,000 per year. This majority of Penn families earns over $175,000 a year, putting them somewhere in the top 5 percent of earners in the United States. For comparison, the median household income in Penn’s ZIP code is about $22,000 a year. Most West Philadelphians would merit full financial aid at Penn (awarded to most students whose families earn an annual income of less than $40,000). According to Penn stats, the Class of 2015 has 165 students who have been awarded full financial aid. This means only one percent of the class falls within the economic range of our West Philadelphia neighbors.

So why do we think we’re poor when we’re not? The archetype of the poor college student remains influential, and it’s one we should be embarrassed to maintain. College students are, on the whole, the group least likely to experience — or to have experienced — real poverty in their lifetimes. In general, we are much more likely to be rich people temporarily occupying the slightly-lesscomfortable space between being the total financial responsibility of our parents and being recipients of our own personal salaries.

hardship. Last summer I worked at an organization called LIFT in Philadelphia, and every day I spoke to people struggling to pay their rent or to find a second minimum-wage job just to make ends meet. Firstly, calling ourselves poor as Penn students is distasteful because it’s insulting to the struggle of real people who live just a few blocks away in West Philadelphia, a poor neighborhood in a city with a huge poverty problem. Secondly, it’s insidious be-

The state of being a college student might better be described as the poorest a person who has never been poor will ever feel.” The state of being a college student might better be described as the poorest a person who has never been poor will ever feel. But that’s not quite as catchy a phrase as “poor college student.” Though this habit of hyperbolizing our own lack of cash may seem innocent enough, it runs the very serious risk of enabling the delusion that we are living at the bottom of the economic ladder. It entertains the idea that college is somehow the floor in terms of poverty and

cause many of us will go on to take up influential positions in the world, and it is not only important for our clarity of thinking to be able to distinguish temporary discomfort from poverty, but it is also morally imperative that we see this distinction so that we can work to improve the real problem of poverty in America. This is not to say that every college student, even every Penn student, has never tasted economic hardship. A small percentage of Penn students really do

SOPHIA WUSHANLEY struggle financially, and that’s all the more reason for us to start taking the word “poor” a little more seriously. To start with, I think we need to clarify a few things. Poor is not taking SEPTA. Poor is not going to Chipotle because Sweetgreen charges $12 for a salad. Poor is not having to use your parent’s credit card when your debit card overdraws. And going to an institution where 55 percent of the students pay $60,000 a year for a bachelor’s degree is certainly not an experience of poverty. So let’s all stop calling ourselves poor, because there’s a difference between “poor” and “college student,” and it’s an important one to recognize.

Forgiving the Facebook (in)famous THE DANALYST | There’s more to our class than regrettable six-month-old posts

wo weeks before we stepped on campus, Under the Button introduced the Class of 2018 to the rest of Penn. Or rather, they introduced the most vocal members of our Facebook group via an article called “The Top 10 Most Unforgivable Penn ’18 Posts.” The article itself was hilarious, mainly because the posts were downright obnoxious. In the group’s short life span, there have been a lot of unfortunate moments, from the guy who posted a photo of a girl’s chest with the caption “Penn :D” to the fights that broke out over everything from women’s rights to the 4.5 credit limit for first semester College students (to everyone who wanted to petition the College to let us take more courses: Please, slow down). Even the Accepted! Class of 2018 Tumblr, a blog chronicling the most heinous posts in accepted student Facebook groups, gave us a special shoutout, saying, “Penn’s definitely got the weirdest class.” While the UTB article’s gotten a lot of campus-wide attention — a sophomore friend

quickly texted me after the article went up, “You don’t post on the Facebook page, right?” — in the group itself, many people have expressed regret. A few commented that they were just “over-eager and excited” when they posted, something all of us can relate to. As the article said, “What you write on the internet lives on forever.” A lot of people in my class are realizing the truth in those words. As fun as it is to call people out for being jerks online, it’s time to put an end to this — not just ridiculing the Facebook group, but relying on it at all. Just like everyone knows that one girl who looks nothing like her profile picture, it’s difficult to gauge someone’s true personality online. We told each other stories, we made each other laugh and cry, but the Facebook message you sent that guy three months ago is not a proper introduction. I learned more about my roommate in the first five minutes of meeting with her than I did from weeks of emailing her. When it’s time for face-to-face contact, all social media preconceptions are off. Let’s not act on judgments

formed before we even met each other. What’s more, many of us have changed since we were accepted. I’m not the same person I was in December; hell, I’m not even the same person I was in April. We shouldn’t hold each other accountable for the mistakes we made in high school. For some of us, that includes Facebook posts. That kid who posted a baby photo of himself in a Penn onesie? Maybe he’ll be your best friend. The girl with the Pretty Little Liars obsession? She could be your lifeline in Math 104 (and hey, don’t be hating on PLL). While I rarely posted on the Facebook group, I empathize with those who did. We’ve all acted stupidly before, and it’s difficult to confront our own digital word vomit. I’m grateful to the Facebook group for the connections it gave me. I bonded with a girl from Texas over our mutual love for puns and inspirational quotes. I cultivated enough inside jokes with a guy from Virginia to fill a book. But as fun as it was to message these people, I

DANI BLUM didn’t actually know them until we sat together on a Hill patio during NSO. Online conversations are easier to strike up and less awkward than in-person ones, but they’re no substitute for the real thing. Class of 2018, let’s stop assuming we know someone based on a post they spent 30 seconds writing. After all, we’re college kids now. As for the rest of Penn, give us a break. You too were young and foolish once. Now stop trying to mooch off our meal swipes.

et us introduce ourselves: We are the Penn Democrats, the most active political group on campus. Each semester, we host a variety of Democratic speakers, campaign for candidates and hold issue advocacy events — all promoting our beliefs and our political party. Because it’s such an important year politically, we’re making our voices heard across campus. Each week this semester, the Penn Dems will publish a column sharing our views about various issues, candidates, campaigns and more. As you may know, we are currently in an election year, so incumbents and challengers across the country are working to be elected as congresspeople, senators and, as in our great state of Pennsylvania, governors.

We feel that immigration reform is necessary because the United States has always been and must continue to be the land of opportunity. We want our planet to be clean, for us and for our children. And we want to be able to pay for college without having crippling debt that we carry for the rest of our lives. These issues don’t only affect those of us who read The New York Times every day. They affect us all. Believe us, we’ve seen our friends’ eyes roll as soon as we bring up politics. We know you’re tired of our political Facebook statuses, and we’re aware that talking about the Affordable Care Act is nowhere near as interesting as talking about the Chancellor day party. But these things matter. Political issues affect us as students and as future members of the workforce; they affect our

Personally, we’re hoping that Democrat Tom Wolf unseats the incumbent, Tom Corbett — but more on that later. We’ll get into the political nitty gritty in later weeks, but for now we’ll explain why we’re Democrats and why you should care. To put it simply, as we’ve grown up, we’ve decided that the beliefs and values of the Democratic Party are the ones with which we most strongly identify. As millennial college students, we feel responsible for helping to put the United States on a strong, progressive path. To us, this includes a government that fulfills certain responsibilities to all its citizens. We believe that every citizen of this country should have access to comprehensive health care coverage. We maintain that no child should go without a meal, nor any veteran without a home. We think that people should be free to marry whom they love, regardless of their sexual orientation. We want women to be treated equally. They should see equal pay for equal work and should have freedom to control their own bodies.

parents, particularly as they get closer and closer to the age of Social Security; and they will affect our children in the future. We all share the responsibility to care, and to vote for the people who will represent our values. Our members did not all have the exact same upbringing. We’re from across the country, across religions, across races and across socioeconomic backgrounds. We weren’t all raised as Democrats, and we don’t have identical political views. But we all know one thing: The way of the future is progressive — moving forward, not back. If you agree with us, come join us at an event. If you think we’re wrong, leave a comment on here or at penndems.org. All we ask is that, as we enter into these crucial months, you stay interested and informed. We can’t wait to continue this discussion with you. Sincerely, The Penn Democrats

SAS appoints 22 new faculty members for the academic year CASSIDY LIZ Staff Writer

A crop of new professors will join the School of Arts and Sciences for the academic year. The school has appointed 22 new members to its faculty across several departments. Gareth Roberts and Meredith Tamminga join the Linguistics Department as assistant professors. Roberts examines the evolution of languages within societies and was sought out by the Penn Evolution Cluster, who were interested in an assistant professor who studied “evolution, broadly interpreted.” Roberts has several aspirations while at Penn concerning his research. “My biggest aspiration is to develop a real experimental science of language change,” Roberts said. When asked about his hopes for the upcoming school year, Roberts was enthused by the at-

mosphere Penn provides. “Having spent close to a decade in other people’s labs, I think I’m most excited by the opportunity to establish my own lab,” Roberts said. “[But] I’m [also] very excited by the opportunity Penn gives me for encounters with other thinkers, across a broad range of disciplines, and the potential for these encounters to take my research in directions I had not imagined.” New professors in the Earth and Environmental Science Department include associate David Goldsby, assistant Lauren Sallan and Reto Gieré, who joins Penn from AlbertLudwigs-Universität Freiburg in Germany. Gieré has a Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and focuses on research concerning the use of mineralogy to combat the deterioration of the environment.

Additions to the Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Department are assistants Isabel Cranz and Huda Fakhreddine. Cranz has a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and her focus is in biblical studies. Fakhreddine acquired a doctorate from Indiana University and studies Arabic poetry and literature. Rahul Mukherjee joins the English Department as the Dick Wolf Assistant Professor of Television and Media Studies. His focus is interdisciplinary and focuses on technologies in media. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Heather Williams is the Presidential Professor of Africana Studies. Williams last taught at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She has a Ph.D. from Yale University and focuses on the history of slavery in the American South, re-

unification of enslaved families across time and patterns of immigration in her home country of Jamaica. Steven Weitzman has been appointed as the Abraham M. Ellis Professor of Hebrew and Semitic Languages and Literature in the Department of Religious Studies. Weitzman comes from a teaching position at Stanford University and has a

Ph.D. from Harvard University. He studies the history of Jewish culture and scripture. Errol Lord and Quayshawn Spencer are new hires for the Philosophy Department as assistant professors. Lord has a Ph.D. from Princeton University and studies reasoning and the philosophy of the mind. Spencer, who joins the faculty in the spring semester, focuses

on philosophies of race. Spencer received his doctorate at Princeton University. Other additions to the school faculty include Jessica Anna, Johannes Burge, Hsiao-wen Chang, Megan Kassabaum, Eleni Katifori , B. Harun Küçük, Michele Margolis, Greta Panova, Gregory Ridgeway and Jorge Téllez. All are assistant professors.

In keeping with Penn’s Year of Health theme, the Penn Undergraduate Health Coalition hosted the University’s first Health and Wellness Fair Friday night. The Houston Hall fair, sponsored by a $1,000 donation to PUHC from Penn’s Year of Health initiative, brought together a variety of health groups, including the Urban Nutrition Initiative, Minorities in Nursing Organization and the Health Food Truck Initiative, a relatively new student organization, to present to new students about opportunities on campus. The goal of the fair, PUHC Chair and College junior Julie Bittar said, was to “increase [the] visibility” of health groups on campus. The fair was “a showcase of information you get in different ways, like information on what to eat, on how to eat healthily and on what groups you can join to continue your

health education,” Bittar explained. The Penn Vegan Society, Penn in Medical Missions and the Wharton Undergraduate Health Club were among the clubs present at the fair, which doubled as a food showcase — there were falafel, hummus and

grilled cheese stations, as well as a Schmear It bagel station. Schmear It provided bagels and cream cheese for the event on behalf of the Healthy Food Trucks Initiative, a student organization founded only a year ago by College

and Wharton senior Robert Hsu and Wharton junior Jessica Chen. “Our goal is to work with food trucks to create a healthier food truck eating environment. We help the three trucks we’ve partnered with create healthy promotional material and help them host interactive events like this one to showcase their food to customers,” Hsu explained. Penn’s chapter of Active Minds, a mental health awareness group, as well as representatives of Counseling and Psychological Services were also in attendance. “We just want students to know that they are not alone and that’s the message we’re pushing for at this fair,” Amanda Martinez, a Wharton sophomore working the Active Minds booth, said. “We hope that they learn more about how serious mental health issues are and that it could happen to anyone, especially at an environment like Penn.” 73092 Bittar hopes that last night’s fair will become an annual event at Penn.

commercial products,” Penn’s Director of Research Initiatives Marc Rigas said. Federal funding initiatives, like this bill, he explained, “help our faculty members identify companies or entrepreneurs to work with to help them take their research or to do more pilot testing to develop prototype devices.” “Universities like Penn are the places that generate all of the really new knowledge and cutting edge technologies,” Rigas said. Federal funding “is huge for Penn,” he added. Congressional inactivity has become the norm in recent years. The current Congress is passing laws at almost half the rate of the previous Congress, which ended up passing the least amount of laws since World War II. Penn has also actively lobbied for issues such as patent reform and immigration reform, which have both been halted by Congressional gridlock. Penn isn’t alone in its frustration with Capitol Hill. According to a Gallup Poll taken in early August, a dismal 13 percent of Amer-

icans approve of Congress. With the 2014-midterm elections approaching, voters have the ability to shake up the congressional landscape, evidenced by the real possibility that Republicans could gain control of the Senate. Regardless, Penn isn’t anticipating

any surge in bipartisanship after November. “My expectation is that the House stays Republican and the Senate can sort of go either way,” said Andresen, who remains pessimistic about Penn’s legislative agenda even after the election.

“The reality is that however it turns out, the Senate will be more closely divided after the election then it is today, so we’ll just have to wait and see how it plays out and how we best engage to advance the issues that we are concerned about.”

As a high school student, he discovered internship opportunities with United Nations Watch, knowing it would provide a less traditional summer experience, but he had to wait until he was a rising sophomore in college to apply. “I really wanted to do more than make photocopies and run from office to oﬃce making phone calls,” Fogel said.

one else for the simple reason that it doesn’t see itself like everyone else. And that would be fine if it didn’t, you know, play everyone else. Most of Penn or any Ivy team’s schedule consists of the seven games it plays within the conference. That surely won’t be changing any time soon. But three games per season, a solid 30 percent of each school’s schedule, is played against teams that begin their season in the surprisingly football-friendly month of August instead of late September. So in a few weeks when the Ivy teams actually take the field, the opponents on the other side will be battle-tested, having gone through 2-3 games and ironed out the kinks in their respective systems. The Ivy teams tend to hold their own in those week one games — the conference went 6-2 to open last season. But facing teams with more game experience provides more injury risk. Furthermore, playing teams like Villanova that are at a higher level can present more than a reasonable challenge

There was a pesky upset try from Navy that fell short against national powerhouse Ohio State. Heck, even locally, FCS (formerly I-AA) darling Villanova took on Syracuse and nearly beat the ACC program, losing in double overtime after missing a 25-yard field goal at the end of regulation. But Penn didn’t play. Neither did any of the other seven schools that make up the Ivy League. Don’t expect to see Ancient Eight football next week either. Or even the week after that. The issue at hand isn’t the fact that Penn — or the Ivy League for that matter — doesn’t have a nationally revered football program: the conference gave up on that the minute it formed 58 years ago. The problem is that the Ivies have completely walled themselves from the rest of college football, including the rest of the FCS — of which it is a member. The Ivy League begins its regular season three weeks after every-

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 and simply not give you usable experience moving forward. So how can this be fixed? Well, other than Penn finally taking Villanova off its schedule (a debate for another day), it’s time for the Ivy League to come back to the college football universe and begin play earlier. Even if the conference was considering such a change, it is doubtful that it would move all the way up to the end of August like other schools, but moving the schedule up a week or two would make a difference. It would allow for Ivy schools to have more ﬂexibility in their schedules, either by adding a game or — the more likely possibility — creating a bye week. While there would continue to be the issue of Ivy schools not playing in the postseason, it would be a step forward to making Ivy League football more relevant in the FCS.

match is Sept. 5 against Mount St Mary’s — Cooper is already thinking about her legacy with the program. “I want to leave the program in a better place than when I came in whatever way I can,” she said. “If that means mentality wise, or anything I can do day-to-day in practice to help improve the team.” According to her teammates and coaches, a big part of this legacy is Cooper’s role as team jokester. “I like to provide some comic relief,” she said with a laugh. This humor helps keep her teammates sane during practices that can become quite intense. “Our coach is fairly serious

and practice can be pretty high intensity,” junior back Shannon Hennessy said. “But when Cooper cracks a joke or does something outrageous, Darren can’t help but smile and laugh.” Despite Cooper’s lighter side, she is serious about embracing her role as one of the team’s three captains. “Seeing my role grow from freshman year goofing around all the time to becoming more of a leadership type position has been really cool to see how I can impact the younger kids,” she said. “That is really important to me.” She draws much of her inspiration as captain from the players in the Class of 2012. “When I was a freshman I had a lot of people go out of their way and talk to me, which

was really huge,” Cooper said. “Something that’s really unique about it is that we’re all pretty much on the same page from freshman to senior year.” In the two weeks that the team has been practicing together on campus this year, Cooper has already gone out of her way to welcome the team’s eight freshmen to their new team and incorporate them into the Red and Blue’s dynamic. “It’s kind of like everything comes full circle,” she said. But Cooper hasn’t just stopped with the freshmen. She’s admired by Penn’s returnees for far more than just her quick wit. “She’s an amazing leader on and off the field,” Hennessy said. “I trust her completely in soccer and in life.”

Meanwhile, thensophomore goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli maintained a clean sheet in her collegiate debut to give the Red and Blue a 4-0 victory. It would be a sign of things to come, as Terilli would go on to achieve first-team All-Ivy honors in 2013. 4. Taming the Dragons It was a defensive battle against neighborhood rival Drexel on Sept. 13.

Volleyball’s top five moments from the 2013 season

With seven five-set victories, the Quakers had a 2013 to remember BY STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Editor For the second straight year, Penn volleyball finished over .500 in the Ancient Eight during the 2013 season, turning in a solid performance but unable to top Ivy powerhouse Yale. Newcomers like Arielle Winfield and Rachel Baader mixed well with upperclassmen like Susan Stuecheli and Dani Shepherd, helping to produce our top five moments from last season. 1. Princeton payback After losing to Princeton in their first Ivy match, the Quakers were out for revenge. That revenge was served rather swiftly as Penn won in straight sets, going 25-19, 25-20, 25-22. It was one of Penn’s more well-rounded efforts, getting eight kills apiece from four different athletes. Shepherd led the squad in both service aces (five) and digs (16).

former goalkeeper who pays much more than lip service to the idea that defense requires a team-wide commitment to defending at every position. Perhaps, then, the fact that Ambrose’s team defies stereotypes when it comes to the offensivedefensive-stardom dichotomy should come as no surprise. And indeed, this season the Red and Blue will have a couple bona fide stars on the backline and in goal. To start, the Quakers return junior Caroline Dwyer, the defending (no pun intended) Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year. Her performance last season has earned her a spot on the watch list for the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy, which is annually awarded to the top male and female NCAA soccer players. Meanwhile, junior keeper Kalijah Terilli received some national recognition of her own this summer with an invitation to the U.S. U-23 National Team camp, an honor given to just four goalies in the country. If this weren’t enough star power for Penn’s defense, the squad has managed to add further talent to its backline with the transfer of junior Paige Lombard from Miama (Fla.). Lombard recorded nine starts in her sophomore campaign and her ACC experience makes her a welcome addition to the roster. If there is such a thing as a starstudded defense, the Quakers have one this season. Of course, the key to Ambrose’s system is that defense isn’t about stars, primarily because it isn’t about individuals — again, it’s a team-wide commitment at every position. Though a couple of Penn defenders have perhaps received more recognition than usual, the Red and Blue will ultimately play great defense because their talent is placed in the context of a defensive-minded, team-oriented culture that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts. The Quakers have ranked

2. A home sweep There is nothing better than sweeping conference rivals and Penn was able to do that against its Empire State foes, Cornell and Columbia. The Quakers were taken to the brink by the Big Red, pulling out a five-set win, before beating Columbia in straight sets. Senior Kristen Etterbeek put up big numbers on the weekend, leading Penn with 31 kills while also contributing 21 digs during the two matches. 3. A day of close calls Penn was still in the nonconference portion of its schedule when it hosted the Crowne Plaza Philadelphia West Penn Invitational at the Palestra. The Quakers fell in their only match on the first day of invitational — in straight sets to American — before facing Temple and Weber State on day two. What ensued were two straight matches that went the distance … and two Penn victories. In both matches, the squad lost two of the first three sets before winning the final two sets. Helping to fill in for Shepherd, who was in-

among the top two of Ivy League teams for goals allowed per game for four consecutive seasons. I expect this season to be no different. The Quakers have done virtually everything except win it all three of those four seasons, narrowly missing championships each year since their last title in 2010. Since Penn’s ambition is to take home an Ivy title, let’s compare the Red and Blue against previous championship winning teams. In the past four years, the Ivy League title-winning squad has yielded an average of 6.8 goals in conference play. Over that span, Penn has averaged just 5.8 goals against and never conceded more than seven goals in a single Ivy season. In other words, the Quakers have brought a championship quality defense to the table each of these seasons. However, the same title winning squads have also averaged 17 goals in Ivy League play, while the Red and Blue have recorded an average of just 10.5 scores over that span. The lowest offensive output among these title-winning squads was Penn’s 2010 campaign, which logged 12 goals on its way to a conference championship. By contrast, last year’s team scored nine times in Ivy play. The good news to be gleaned from this analysis for the Quakers is that they are very likely to be no more than three additional scores away from winning some Ivy hardware at this year’s end. The bad news is that a three-goal increase would represent a 33 percent improvement on last year’s offensive production in conference play, and the Red and Blue would need to do it having graduated last year’s leading scorer, Kerry Scalora. As strange as it sounds, this team needs a couple of garden variety, goal-scoring offensive powerhouses to reaffirm stereotypes and overshadow its defensive stars. I suspect the likes of Dwyer and Terilli won’t mind the lack of attention — especially when they’re hoisting an Ivy League championship trophy.

jured at the time, then-sophomore Alexis Genske put together two strong matches, adding 51 digs to Penn’s winning effort. 4. Coming back vs. Delaware In early September, the Red and Blue were still on the hunt for their first victory of the year when Delaware came to town. On a Tuesday evening at the Palestra, the Quakers fell down two sets to none before their game really got going. Penn won the third set somewhat comfortably, 25-19, before two nail biting sets barely went its way. The win was a catalyst for a squad that won a total of seven five-set matches.

With junior Caroline Dwyer — last year’s Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year — returning, the Quakers will feature a back line that figures to once again rank among the top defenses in the nation.

Becoming better than a box score KENNY KASPER

he notion of a starstudded defense is almost an oxymoron, especially in soccer.

Though coaches, players, sports writers and fans pay lip service to the notion that “defense wins championships,” reverence for stars is generally reserved for those whose outstanding individual performances are a bit more, well, quantifiable. At the end of the day, the box score has no statistic to demonstrate the brilliance of an individual

defender’s play, and what isn’t evident in a box score is rarely appreciated by fans — especially American fans, being the stat-hungry consumers they are, not to mention journalists and even some coaches. Of course, this has never been the case for Penn women’s soccer coach Darren Ambrose, a SEE KASPER PAGE 11

Winfield leaves volleyball for track The sophomore has elected to walk on to the track program as a jumper this season BY TITUS ADKINS Staff Writer Penn volleyball will look to start this season off strong after a 2013 performance that can be best described as “up-and-down.” Though the Quakers reeled off six straight wins in Ivy play, they still finished far beyond champion Yale, which looks as strong as ever. Stars like Dani Shepherd, the two-time Ivy Defensive Player of the Year, have graduated. Clearly, the road ahead is tough. The Quakers will also have to move forward in 2014 without one of their best players, sophomore Arielle Winfield, which makes the journey that much tougher. A revelation at middle blocker as a freshman, Winfield has opted to leave the team in pursuit of a career as a jumper on the track and field squad. “I really love both sports, but I definitely think that walking onto the track team is the better decision for me,” she said. “I can still be a high level student athlete but now I can do it in a more positive environment.”

When she first arrived on campus last season, Winfield was expected to be the centerpiece of a recruiting class assembled by coach Kerry Carr to dethrone the Bulldogs. Carr inserted Winfield into the team’s starting lineup immediately in 2013. While it was an honor, it came with a caveat. As competitive as the team is, veterans were not about to surrender their court time to Winfield without a fight. Despite the competition, Winfield showed plenty of potential in her initial campaign as she saw action in 61 sets over the course of 15 matches. In that time, Winfield accumulated 90 kills and 50 blocks. These numbers, though, were limited due to minor injuries Winfield sustained throughout the season. But injuries weren’t the only frustration that she had to deal with in 2013. “When I first arrived here there was a bit of tension with my being a freshman that started immediately,” Winfield said. “We were all very competitive and all wanted the leadership role on the team, and coach was especially hard on me because she wanted me to step up and lead right away.” After a certain point, Winfield had had
