College House cafes close over possible regulation issues Sales tax concerns contributed to the decision to close the cafes
The College House cafes in Rodin, Harnwell, Harrison, Riepe and Kings Court English were closed because of possible sales tax and licensing issues. The cafes will not be reopened until licensing issues are resolved.
JESSICA WASHINGTON Staff Writer
Nearly all college house cafes will be closed this semester after an internal audit found the cafes may not have been in compliance with sales tax regulations. While the exact details of all potential sales tax violations are not clear, Executive Director of College Houses and Academic Services Martin Redman cited as an example that sales tax should have been applied to 84 percent of all products sold in the Rodin College

As students return to campus looking to get involved with extracurriculars, Penn Democrats, one of the most active political organizations on campus, has a prominent recruiting tool: Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. Mayor Nutter spoke to a room of over 80 students at Penn Dems’ first meeting of the year at Huntsman Hall on Tuesday night. “I think he is a really interesting politician, and his seat is almost up, so I am hoping he will be a little bit more loose-lipped,” Penn Dems President and Wharton Senior Amiyr Jackson said before Nutter spoke to the room. “But I think it will be nice for people coming from West Philadelphia to ask him questions about issues and things going on here.” Before Nutter spoke off-the-record to the large group for almost an hour, he expressed his admiration and appreciation for Penn Dems. “It’s really exciting to be back on campus — and certainly to be with the Penn Dems,” said Nutter, who graduated from Wharton

This week in higher education
By Jennifer Wright
Columbia University Freshmen at Columbia participated in a new workshop addressing sexual violence and other issues as a part of their new student orientation program. The new sexual violence workshop had a more serious tone and became a mandatory session for freshmen after students proposed revisions following last year's program. Sexual assault has recently been a major issue on Columbia's campus, with the university canceling the fall concert in part because of sexual harassment concerns. Penn’s NSO sexual assault programming also saw changes this year, with a longer mandatory session for new students.
Mills College Mills College, a women's college in California, has announced it has changed its admissions policy and will now admit anyone who self-identifies as a woman. Mills is the first single-sex higher education institution in the United States to create an admissions policy to admit transgender students. USA Today reported that the college says even though it has already admitted many transgender students, it wanted an official policy.
Florida Polytechnic University The new library at the Florida Polytechnic University contains over 135,000 titles, but none of them can be taken off the shelves. As a recently opened institution, the university chose to go totally digital and provide only electronic books to its students. Convenience and a 21st century vibe are appealing to students, but an added perk is the user-driven model where the university will automatically purchase a book for its collection after just two students have used the title.
Western University Western University’s student newspaper The Gazette received pushback on a feature in their “Frosh Issue” illustrating how to seduce your TA. Administrators, alumni and others criticized the content of the article for working against efforts to make the university a safe space for students and faculty. The editorial board of the paper initially defended the piece saying they had published much more risqué material in the past, but eventually issued an apology.

House cafe. A separate inquiry by a consultant raised concerns about whether sanitation standards were being optimized at the cafes. Since the cafes were not licensed businesses, they were not inspected to ensure they had met regulatory requirements. Redman said the decision to close the cafes in Rodin, Harnwell, Harrison, Riepe and Kings Court college houses was based on both
of these findings. “My concern was we were functioning as a business instead of a program,” Redman said. “Once we start selling, we cross a higher code threshold to care for the people we are selling to.” Redman admitted that he was “99 percent sure the cafes are not in compliance” with regulations. This could have spelled serious trouble for the University. “If in our cafe environment the code compliance folks came by and found we were
out of compliance, they would shut down those cafes not in compliance and we would face fines,” he said in a follow up email. Redman said that the decision to close the cafes was “very difficult,” but as soon as he knew something was potentially wrong, he “did something about it.” Even though the cafes weren’t found to be actively violating health codes, he felt that ensuring student safety was paramount. “God forbid a student got ill because we weren’t doing what we

were supposed to,” Redman said. The decision to not reopen the cafes was made at the end of June after the audit — which was started to investigate the profits of college house cafes. The only college house to keep its cafe will be Gregory College House, which will no longer sell food there, instead giving out food for free on a less frequent basis. The college house cafes will not be reopened until the licensing issue has been resolved, which could take anywhere from three months to
a year, Redman said. Students were generally unaware of why the cafes closed, and some raised concerns when they found out about their closure. College junior Ivy Johnson, a former cafe manager in Harnwell, created a petition to reopen the cafe, which has currently received over 150 signatures. After learning that the cafes were closed because of possible regulation issues, Johnson said it was a problem that students were not
given enough notice to adjust. “Several work-study students relied on the cafe as a job to cover not only books for coursework, but also food and other necessary materials,” Johnson said. As a manager, she had no idea the cafes were closing, she later added. “Without this job, several students have been forced to carry an extra burden of stress as they engage in a last-minute job search while trying to balance academics,” Johnson said.

U. City initiative finds success fighting unemployment
West Philadelphia Skills Initiative helps find jobs for local residents SOPHIA WITTE Staff Writer
West Philadelphians have greatly benefited from collaboration with University City institutions, a report issued last week by the University City District found. The report, which detailed the activities of UCD’s West Philadelphia Skills Initiative, found that WPSI placed 124 West Philadelphia residents in professional positions in University City in the four years since the program was founded — an accomplishment in an area with a poverty rate above the Philadelphia average. West Philadelphia anchor institutions, including Penn and the Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia, comprise over 10 percent of the city’s total employment, with over 72,000 jobs across educational, scientific and service sectors. Despite this density of opportunity, 31 percent of West Philadelphians live below the poverty level with an unemployment rate of 15 percent, according to the report. In order to alleviate unemployment in the community, WPSI has created a strategic system of transforming employer needs into opportunities for job-seeking participants. The programs are designed to respond directly to the distinct hiring challenges of each employer institution. Penn Medicine is one of the many anchor institutions that has benefitted from the WPSI model. In response to the inefficient use of highly trained analysts, WPSI customized a six-month program in which

years ago in search of a career. He said, “The program was very conducive to understanding my strengths and weaknesses, and
from there I could push boundaries on my weaknesses and turn them into strengths for the position.” After completing the training program, WPSI continued to support Benson by advising him on any professional questions he encountered in the field. Since starting at the Medical School, Benson has taken on more responsibility in various projects. “The key takeaway from the program was to always seize opportunities and to never be complacent,” Benson said. “Once I got a chance to show what I’ve learned and how I’ve grown, the training came to fruition.” As a result of the WPSI partnership with Penn Med, 98 percent of participants completed the program, 80 percent are steadily73092 employed and 30 percent have risen to higher-paying positions.

KEEN ON THE TRUTH | At West Philadelphia High, the funds are
H
plentiful but friends are needed
e was a senior by the looks of him — tall and skinny with three weeks of want-abeard scruff — all anxious about college and how to get there. He walked up to me in the West Philadelphia High School cafeteria and, looking somewhere off to the side, started asking me nervous, jerky questions. Where was I studying? What year? What major? How old was I? Did I know how to do fractions? I said I knew how to do fractions. Like how to subtract onefourth from two-fourths? Well, let me see. I thought about it, and worked the problem out on a piece of paper. What about this one? He hit me with two different denominators. Well, yes, I could add those fractions too. He concentrated and tried to follow my steps. “You’re really good at this stuff, huh? It’s not hard for you?” I wished so badly that I’d been able to wiggle out of telling him my age. He never met my eye, but I easily guessed that he was 18, too, and the fact was eating him. So I did my best. I emphasized that math was really “my thing.” I was a bit advanced for my age. Might even major in the subject. It didn’t really work. I spent my last hour at West watching a senior fight back tears as he tried to learn fractions and then tackle the baffling quadratic equations in his homework. CSSP’s after-school tutoring at West Philadelphia High school was carried out in the cafeteria — spacious, well-lit and clean. As I packed up to leave for the last time, I might have taken a little walk around this brand-new, $50 million high school where students do not know how to add fractions. I might have peeped into the
classrooms with fancy electronic whiteboards. I might have slipped into a lab full of equipment that I’d never even hoped to handle during high school. But even if I thought of doing so, I wouldn’t have wasted my time. West students (who were paid an hourly rate to attend afterschool tutoring with me) had already settled that score. They gave a disgusted little shrug when my coworker tried to ask about how much nicer it must be at the “New West.” It’s not really any different from the old place. New building, yeah, but the people are all the same.
The school needed discipline, not tax dollars. Students needed to learn that ‘getting somewhere’ correlates to hard work in the face of difficulty, not just having a privileged environment.” And by “the people,” they mostly meant their fellow students. The students I interacted with at West almost never complained about their teachers. The fact is, they had very little to complain about. The math teacher I worked with, a great boulder of a man with a time-worn face, was the most gentle, persistent teacher I’d ever met. In a classroom where approximately half the students were chatting, fighting or dazed — where students threatened to use their TI84’s as projectiles — he kept right on doing his best to quiet the class and teach algebra. I keenly felt the dissonance between the media hubbub last year about un-

Students needed to learn that “getting somewhere” correlates to hard work in the face of difficulty, not just having a privileged environment. The kids could succeed if they tried, but they’d have to fight an uphill battle against the culture established by their own classmates — the culture of not trying. Now, it’s true that more funding never hurts. More professional counselors could be hired to try to turn around the culture. But first off, the School District of Philadelphia is about $3 billion in debt, and secondly, few kids trust someone that they know is drawing a salary to preach morality at them. Kids are doing poorly because their real relationships — the ones that extend beyond the metal detectors at the front gates of West — do not encourage them to stick it out and swim upstream. I wonder sometimes, what might have happened if I had given that senior my friendship instead of summed up fractions. It would have taken a lot more effort. But maybe — as so many of Penn’s Big Brothers and Big Sisters might testify — it would have been worth it.

our experiences and ignite political action
n April 15, 1993, close to 14,000 copies of The Daily Pennsylvanian were removed from campus distribution sites. In the absence of nearly the entire circulation of the paper, members of Penn’s black student population declared that they would no longer tolerate “the blatant and voluntary perpetuation of institutional racism against the Black Community by the DP” and by virtue of the paper’s symbolism, the University at large. This was just two decades ago. But add this history to an algorithm of unrest that comes from the demonization of black and brown bodies in local, national and international news outlets and here’s what you get: The media cannot always tell our stories. And so we beseech the same prayer: “What does it mean to be black in this space and time?” It is one carried in the hearts of students of color on this campus, oftentimes in the wake of brutal circumstances. The systems of respectability politics and ushered silence which operate in our nation and on our campus still reign. Although we are beginning to breach into a land of promising race talk, we are very much afraid to deeply indulge in dialogue about racial mistreatment and misrepresentation here at home. It is imperative to put our historical context at Penn in perspective. This year marked the 133rd anniversary of the graduation of Penn’s first black student, James Brister, 141 years after Penn’s founding. Fast forward to Penn admissions in 2013, black students constitute a total of 7.1 percent of the under-
graduate pool on campus. This means out of an undergraduate class of 10,319 students, 732 Universitydefined black students can claim Penn as their home. Let this number float in your mind. And while it’s floating, let’s put it beside another: 665,471. This was the 2013 census count which reported the total number of black residents living in Philadelphia. And so the question permeates: What does it mean to be black in this space and time? Especially when, 133 years after Brister’s graduation, the access, opportunity and civic membership here fall far from definitions of equality for all. The purpose for this column is to strengthen black voices in order to add dimension to our continued activism on this campus and progress our politics. Our history is one we have not forgotten. The Vision, founded in October 1989 by three Penn undergraduate students — 1992 College graduates Harold Ford, Jr. and Altoine Scarborough and 1991 Wharton graduate Gabrielle Glore — was one of Penn’s first independent student publications that catered to those with African diasporic backgrounds. As one of the founders remarked, “[W]e were encouraged by the realization that all students would benefit by hearing these other voices. We learned from the experience that frustration — and even dissent — when processed thoughtfully and channeled wisely can be a powerful force for change.” Twenty-five years later, the direction for The Vision has come full circle in collaboration with the DP. We hope to give voice to the intersectionality of black identity and the plight of blacks in this country by
VICTORIA FORD & NIKKI HARDISON articulating the social, political, educational and economic disparities we face in 21st century America. The way we plan to encourage this is to curate a column with a rotation of writers, from different schools within the University, along with a variety of class years, geographic spaces, sexual/religious/class orientations, etc. We believe this volume of diverse voices will begin a much-needed conversation with the DP’s far-reaching audience around the country, and this column can be a space from which readers engage, incite deeper understanding of our communities, learn and perhaps, above all, will want to change the conditions of our nation. What we hope to build is more than a pastiche of numbers, facts and figures. Rather, these articles and stories will serve as a staircase that we build in celebration of the past and the present, one way for us to begin a dialogue that will ignite the work we have been called to do in this space right now.

Wharton study: Negotiators lie to women more than to men Study shows that both men and women lie to women more often BOOKYUNG JO Staff Writer
Café Renata
CAFE | RESTAURANT | BYOB
Future career women at Penn, the world of business might be more deceptive than you think. Jessica Kennedy, a former legal studies and business ethics researcher at Wharton, found in a study with two researchers from UC Berkeley that people lie to women in negotiations more often than they lie to men. The study — in a forthcoming issue of the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes — was based on simulated negotiations among students in MBA classes at another university, where all the students had an incentive to perform well and boost their reputations. The simulated negotiations were mostly distributor or real estate negotiations
where “buyer’s gain was the seller’s loss,” Kennedy said. This competitive negotiation setting was designed to be similar to real-world situations in which it is costly for negotiators to lie if their partners discover the deception. To Kennedy’s surprise, the negotiators lied 17 percent more when their counterparts were women. “There wasn’t any evidence that women are easier to deceive,” Kennedy said. “People just have stereotypes about how easily misled women are.” The quality of lies was also noticeably different. Agents tended to say lies that are based on true facts to men, whereas they gave blatant lies to women. However, the study indicated that it was not just men who hold the stereotype. “It’s kind of unusual that women lie more to women as well,” Kennedy said. She explained that in cases where
women are acting as seller’s agents, they think they are representing someone else’s interest and assume the same stereotypes the seller has. Kennedy’s study is not the only one that articulates why and in what ways women encounter additional hurdles in pursuing their careers. Research by Hannah Bowles of Harvard Business School , whose focus is on “gender in negotiation and the attainment of leadership positions,” confirms that both men and women are less interested in working with women who negotiate for a higher salary. The two studies both demonstrate that in the world of business, women often tend to collaborate in creating a biased environment. “Both men and women have to undergo a paradigm shift in treating men and women equally,” said Meaghan Casey, a second-year MBA student and the
president of Wharton Women in Business. Casey explained that Wharton has been progressing toward creating an equal environment for both male and female business people. Forty-two percent of MBA students last year were women, and WWIB has been supporting women to become better negotiators. “In my personal experience, it can be beneficial to build your credibility and not to do so in a way that is arrogant but just to allow others to understand that you are going into a conversation already knowledgeable about the subject,” she said. Another possible way is to bring additional staff to back you up. “I want Wharton [female] students to know and be aware that they are the target of negotiations,” Kennedy said. “It definitely creates an additional barrier for women to perform well.”

City — not students — according to Manuel Smith, public information manager at SEPTA. College sophomore Kat McKay, committee chair of the dining, sustainability and facilities committee of the UA, is heading the project because she felt that Penn students were not using the service because of the lack of some important stops and a lack of marketing. “It’s about making this something that appeals to the student body and the places they want to get to, as opposed to the places it stops already,” McKay said. After spending a week in the summer on Yale University’s campus and seeing how much the shuttle service there was utilized, McKay thought that changing the shuttle service would be an “opportunity to make student life here better in a tangible way.” UA representatives are meeting with Penn Transit to discuss the implementation of the plan, McKay said. The project is still in its early stages, so McKay is getting feedback and ideas from students on campus. She hopes students providing feedback will also utilize Penn Transit in the future. When deciding where to add stops, 30th Street Station seemed like a good choice because it provides access to Washington, D.C., and New York City, locations that students travel to frequently, especially during on-campus recruiting, McKay added.
Although the transportation services stop frequently on campus and take all Penn Card holders with up to two guests to their destinations for free, not many
Penn students use the service, McKay said. The UA plans to use social media and word of mouth to increase the number of students using Penn Transit.

from her fiscal year 2012 package of $2,091,764. Although this increase does not quite match the 43 percent jump between fiscal years 2011 and 2012, it remains consistent with the upward trend in Gutmann’s salary since her arrival at Penn a decade ago.
Due to the timing of the Internal Revenue Service’s reporting requirements, fiscal year 2013 is the most recent year for which compensation totals are available. Gutmann’s most recent package comprises a nearly 270-percent increase from the $767,030 package she received her first year at the University in the

2005 fiscal year. Gutmann — who came to the helm in 2004 — received about 286 percent of the $986,915 that her predecessor Judith Rodin made during her tenth and final year as Penn president. “We believe this compensation structure has given us the most effective university leadership team in the country,” said David Cohen, chair of Penn’s Board of Trustees, in an email. “We have people here who are smart and competitive; people who want to succeed and are willing to be judged by the outcome of their work. That is a formula that breeds success.” Gutmann and other senior administrators’ salaries are designated by a committee of the Board of Trustees, which takes into account compensation at peer institutions, the input of a third-party consultant and assessment of performance by the individual, said Cohen, who chairs the Trustees’ Compensation Committee. However, Gutmann’s salary is unlikely to continue to rise at such a high rate, compensation consultants said. “You can’t keep escalating at that level forever,” said Tom LaWer, a 1988 Wharton graduate and principal at Compensia, Inc. “[Gutmann] is getting
to the top end of the market range.” Compensation consultants agree that performance is vital in determining compensation among university presidents. “It is a huge job running a university — there are many tentacles,” said Paul Dorf, chairman of consulting firm Compensation Resources. “The individuals are well-compensated for what they do.” Penn also has to keep pace with pay at peer institutions to retain talent, said Mark Borges, another principal at Compensia, Inc. “The fact that she’s been there for a significant period of time probably reflects the quality of her performance,” Borges said of Gutmann, whose current term will last through 2019. “She’s probably getting steady increases because the board is happy with her performance.” Although the 2013 tax filings of peer institutions are not yet available, Gutmann has claimed an unwavering spot among the top-paid private university presidents. In last year’s tax filings, Gutmann was the secondhighest-paid Ivy League president, behind only Columbia University’s Lee Bollinger. In previous years, she ranked
third among the Ivy presidents, behind Bollinger and Yale’s Richard Levin, who has since stepped down. A report by the Chronicle of Higher Education ranked Gutmann as the sixth-highest compensated private university president in 2011 — and the highest-paid woman on the list — with Robert Zimmer of the University of Chicago claiming a hefty $3,358,723 compensation package and the top spot. Only six private university presidents, including Gutmann, received compensation packages greater than $2 million, according to the report. The report also listed each president’s compensation per $1 million in total expenditures. Gutmann ranked the lowest among the top 20 highest-paid presidents, with $376 of compensation per million dollars of total expenditures. Gutmann’s base pay comprised 51.5 percent of her total compensation in 2011, according to the Chronicle’s report — the highest among the top eight. In fiscal year 2013, her base pay fell to 39.8 percent of her total salary. Gutmann’s base salary grew 4.2 percent from $1,078,016 in 2011 to $1,123,376 in 2012, a much smaller increase from the

17.9 percent jump in base salary between 2010 and 2011 — from $914,724 to $1,078,016. This shift aligns with the conclusion of the Making History fundraising campaign, which concluded at the end of 2012 and raised $4.3 billion — $800 million more than the original campaign goal of $3.5 billion. In 2012, Gutmann received $942,500 in bonus and incentive compensation. “As I have said in the past, the Trustees feel strongly that we have the best university president in the country in Amy Gutmann, and we believe her compensation should reflect that,” Cohen said. The third highest-paid employee, after Gutmann and Muller, was Larry Jameson, dean of the Perelman School of Medicine and executive vice president of UPHS. Also among the top earners were several surgeons affiliated with Penn Medicine. It is not unusual for the head of a health system to make more than a university president, largely due to the complexity of a hospital system. The high demand in running a health system is not unlike running a university, Borges said. “These are some of the most difficult jobs in the country because you have to play so many roles simultaneously,” he said. “If you’ve got someone there for an extended period of time it generally means they’re good at their job.”

The top five moments for field hockey in 2013
The Quakers had plenty to be proud of after falling short of the Ivy title BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor Though the season didn’t end as many hoped, 2013 was a season of tremendous growth for Penn field hockey. Here are the top five moments from a campaign that ended with the team falling to Princeton in a do-or-die match for the Ivy title. 1. Super stop, Carly Sokach! The junior goalie was at her absolute best against Yale on Oct. 26, stopping all 15 shots she faced — plus an additional four in penalties — in a 1-0 shootout win. “Once you get your confidence and you get your footing, no matter what the offense is doing, the defense can stand strong,” she said. 2. Grand Opening Years in the making, Ellen Va-
gelos Field received the perfect introduction when the Quakers took on Cornell on Sept. 21. Penn’s play matched the speed of the top-of-the-line artificial turf playing surface, as then-junior attack Emily Corcoran scored after just 33 seconds in a 4-3 Red and Blue victory. One day later, the Quakers offense continued to hum, scoring five goals in the first half en route to a 7-0 pasting of Pacific. 3. The perfect setup Though Penn fell in its finale to Princeton, 5-1, it couldn’t erase the memory of the squad’s brilliant performance against Brown a week earlier. Then-freshman Jasmine Cole scored two goals just 2:49 apart, as the Quakers manhandled the Bears, 4-0. “I think our offense needed that kind of game to regain its confidence and to go into [the Princeton] matchup feeling hot,” coach Colleen Fink said. 4. Nonconference domination
Opponents outside of the Ivy League proved to be no match for the Quakers in 2013. Overall, the Red and Blue went 8-2 against their nonconference foes. Some of the highlights: a 7-1 pasting of Appalachian State that featured two goals and an assist from then-senior attack Sunny Stirewalt, a 4-3 overtime win over Rider that ended on a Corcoran strike and a 5-4 season-opening win over Lehigh that then-sophomore attack Elizabeth Hitti finished off with a penalty corner. 5. Heads held high in defeat Win or lose, the homecoming finale against Princeton proved to be a turning point for Penn field hockey. The stands at Vagelos Field were packed to the brim, while dozens of alumni from far and wide took part in a powerful pregame ceremony. Penn may have fallen short, but that afternoon over 600 people became privy to the potential that surrounded the field hockey program. “I would say it was a special season, but that may imply a tem-

Junior attack Elizabeth Hitti had a hand in many of Penn field hockey’s 2013 highlights. The Ashland, Mass. native tallied six goals on 25 shots last year, including a game-winning penalty corner to topple Lehigh in the Quakers’ season opener.
porary status — instead, I view it as a step in the direction that Penn field hockey wants to continue,” Fink wrote in a postseason col-
umn for The Daily Pennsylvanian. “The women involved with Penn field hockey want to win. We want to work hard. We want to be re-
spected for a long time. The 2013 season was amazing for the staff and players; however, we all agree we are not done.”

Men’s soccer’s 2013 top five moments
An Ivy League title produced a season to remember
4. A solid beginning After struggling in 2012, Penn was in need of a strong start to the season. The Quakers got just that. Playing games in Penn Park against Stony Brook and Sacred Heart, Penn’s offense exploded for seven goals while senior keeper Tyler Kinn didn’t give up a goal in either match. Then-freshman Alec Neumann helped lead the onslaught with two goals against Sacred Heart.

views thus far are mixed at best. Whereas the Red and Blue took on two Big Ten squads a year ago — facing off with Penn State at the Palestra before heading to the Midwest to battle Fran McCaffery’s Hawkeyes — the Quakers will play only one team from a Power Five conference. Yet a game over winter break against a Vanderbilt team that finished with a sub-.500 record last year doesn’t exactly fill that void. Penn will continue to match up with its Big 5 rivals, a series of games highlighted by a home contest against last year’s Big East regular season champion
5. A better finish Penn’s Ivy title hopes looked to be slipping out of its fingers when Yale traveled to Rhodes Field. The Elis held a 2–1 advantage late in the match before a pair of senior GARRET NELSON/DP FILE PHOTO captains saved the day for Penn. Solid work behind the net by then-senior goalkeeper Tyler Kinn helped the Quakers In the 87th minute, Dolezal tied to two early season wins, a necessarily fast start after a poor season in 2012. the match off assists from Baker and Austin Kinn. The goal forced went all in for their Ivy matches, ished the match with seven saves overtime, where — in the 94th starting with a tight game against — and a goal from back Jonny minute — Stephen Baker ended a defending champion Cornell. Penn Dolezal gave the Red and Blue a six-match goalless streak with the once again got a clean sheet from 1–0 win. game-winning tally, moving Penn its goalkeeper — Polkinhorne finto 3–0–1 in Ivy play at the time.
Villanova. But other than seeing Jay Wright’s coaching brilliance in person and two matchups with perennial Ivy powerhouse Harvard, the Quakers’ schedule is anything but easy to get excited about. Unfortunately, this is the new normal for Penn basketball. Moving forward, Red and Blue fans should expect a less-than stellar schedule, at least until the Quakers show themselves worthy of sharing the court with top-notch opponents. Four seasons ago, Penn took on a Pitt team ranked in the top five. The following year, one in which the Quakers made astrides in Allen’s second full year at the helm, the Red and Blue hosted Pitt before playing
Duke in Durham. Those days are gone. No longer can Penn or its fans expect successful programs across the country to want to schedule the Quakers based on their history and pedigree. We’ve known for a long time that Matt Maloney and Jerome Allen of the 1990s — or players like them — aren’t coming out of the Palestra locker room. Now major powerhouses have taken note as well. There is no better way to understand Penn’s fall from grace than by looking around the Ivy League. After a second-place finish in 2013-14 and with sophomore forward Justin Sears returning, Yale has rewarded itself with road matchups with Connecticut, Florida and Vanderbilt.
Ball don’t lie. Up-and-comer Columbia also has a schedule laden with quality opponents. The Lions emerged as a legitimate threat to Harvard’s reign atop the conference last season and will take on both participants of last season’s national championship game — UConn and Kentucky. And of course, how could anyone forget everyone’s favorite Cinderella? The Crimson will face Boston College again while also playing Arizona State and last year’s ACC champion Virginia. To the victor go the spoils, right? But maybe for Penn basketball as a program, the right thing to do at this point is to keep the schedule weak. With a youthful team suffering from the departure of eight members of last year’s squad, a schedule lacking big-name nonconference opponents could be exactly what helps the Quakers. Therefore, this season,
one in which Allen needs wins to save his job and the program desperately requires a shot in the arm, perhaps small-time is better. Assuming Penn can capitalize against no-name teams like Niagara, Marist and Delaware State while improving its conference record, that could be the solution for the Red and Blue’s scheduling problem moving forward. The schedule does not look pretty and it certainly won’t generate a lot of enthusiasm among students. But this isn’t about student apathy. It’s about finding a way to generate wins for a program that hasn’t had many of those in a long time. For now — and hopefully only for now — worse could be better.

horse out on the field and she plays well on both sides of the ball,� Fink said. “Her teammates look to her for energy and passion in competitive situations.� Fink and Corcoran’s relationship goes back before either was at Penn. “I’ve known Emily a long time — I coached her when she was in high school,� Fink said. “She definitely hasn’t disappointed.� It’s early, but according to Corcoran, the same can be said for Penn’s crop of freshmen, with whom the captain has been able to work closely leading up to the season. “Our freshmen have been amazing so far, so they kind of make it easy [for me as a captain],� she said. The first-year class includes two attacks, Alexa Hoover and Rachel Huang, who will look to make an impact on the offensive end alongside Corcoran and fellow scoring threats Elise Tilton and Elizabeth Hitti. “Our team has been working as a cohesive unit in practice,� Corcoran said. “I’m really excited to see the combination of the returning players with the newcomers this season.� If the rest of the Quakers are indeed able to come together and follow Corcoran’s lead, the Red and Blue will have plenty to be excited about this fall.

ware State, a team that went 9-21 a year ago. The Quakers then will play two home games, against Rider and Lafayette, both teams they lost to last season. Penn will play eight of its next nine games on the road with games against Big 5 rival Temple, Wagner, Navy and Binghamton. The Red and Blue return home to face Marist on Dec. 9 before going on winter break. After a 13-day layoff, Penn travels to Nashville to play Vanderbilt and finishes out 2014 with a Dec. 30 trip to La Salle. The team’s first Ivy game will be at Princeton on Jan. 10 before closing out nonconference
play with a game at Niagara and matchups at the Palestra with Villanova, Monmouth and St. Joseph’s. As the schedule normally shakes out, Penn will play its final 13 games against Ivy opponents, culminating in a home matchup with Princeton on March 10. For the second straight season, the games against Princeton will occur during winter and spring breaks. Vanderbilt, Navy, Binghamton and Delaware State are the only opponents who were not also on Penn’s schedule last season. Vanderbilt, an SEC squad, is the only team from one of the Power Five conferences, a year after Penn played Iowa and Penn State from the Big Ten.

the past, he manages to maintain a constant high level of intensity. “All the personal accolades are a true honor,” he said. “But what really keeps me going are the team goals and the team accolades we achieve as a program. I think any team triumph we have is far more important to me than any personal award.” As if there wasn’t enough separating Lacroix from other athletes entering their senior year, there is the fact that this season may very well not be the last time we see or hear about him on the soccer field. “Anytime you get a guy like Duke, who has such passion for the game and such a great work ethic, combined with such a high degree of talent, you get a player who is only going to get better,” Fuller said. “I believe he has a great opportunity to go on and play professionally.” However, Lacroix isn’t quite ready to look that far into the future. “I really appreciate the confidence the coaches have in me, and when I get to that point I’m sure it would be great to have that opportunity, but that’s just not where my mind is right now,” he said. “Right now, all I can think about is getting that first ‘W’ against Drexel on Friday.” And if Lacroix plays up to the level his talent and resume suggests, it will go a long way toward keeping Penn soccer atop the Ivy League.

LOOKING BACK We look at the top five moments from last season for men’s soccer and field hockey >> SEE PAGE 9-10
Lacroix It’s Corcoran on the attack again to lead Penn soccer
FIELD HOCKEY | The senior attack will be an offensive focal point BY SEAMUS POWERS Staff Writer
M. SOCCER | Reigning offensive POY hopes to continue success BY SAM ALTLAND Staff Writer
No matter what school Penn men’s soccer is facing on any given week, you can bet there is one Quakers player that is at the top of everyone’s scouting report. Senior forward Duke Lacroix is an offensive force that can make even the soundest of defenses look woefully inadequate, and he will once again lead the Red and Blue in a campaign for a second consecutive Ivy League title. Lacroix enters his senior season not only as the reigning Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, but also as the number one player in the conference according to TopDrawerSoccer.com. Lacroix will likely do battle with Princeton senior forward Cameron Porter — the only player in the Ancient Eight to outscore Lacroix in 2013 — for the top spot on the Ivy League statistics sheet this year as well. “Duke is a really dynamic offensive player for us,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “He has certainly progressed very well over his three years here, and this year he is going to need to be even better because teams are going to be on the lookout for him, and they know how important he is to this program.” Ever since earning the honor of Ivy League Rookie of the Year his freshman year, Lacroix has moved up in the ranks of the collegiate soccer world, earning secondteam All-Ivy honors his sophomore campaign, before becoming a unanimous first-team selection last year as Penn stormed its way to an Ivy title. However, despite the accolades and triumphs Lacroix has had in SEE M. SOCCER PAGE 11

The top returning scorer for Penn field hockey in 2014, senior attack Emily Corcoran will be relied upon to spearhead the Quakers’ offensive effort. The accolades attached to Corcoran’s name are numerous: She was named second-team All-Ivy and second-team All-Region in a strong 2013 campaign.

t looks like there won’t be a return trip to Iowa City after all. Ten months ago, I flew out to Iowa to cover a game that turned out to be one of the most embarrassing contests in a season full of them for Penn basketball. Matched up against a Hawkeyes team that looked like it belonged in the nation’s top 10, the Red and Blue fell by 31, their largest margin of defeat all year. Perhaps luckily for my colleagues and me, there will not be a sequel to that nonconference matchup in 2014-15. In fact, at this point, it doesn’t seem like Penn has anything close to a heavyweight opponent on its schedule. With two months remaining before the Quakers take the court in November, Penn Athletics released the team’s full 28-game schedule as it prepares to kick off the fifth full season of coach Jerome Allen’s tenure. And the re-

Penn’s 2014-15 slate features Big 5 matchups BY STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Editor With fewer than 75 days until the season begins, Penn basketball released its 2014-15 schedule Tuesday. The Quakers will play 14 games outside of Ivy League play for the second straight year, facing many of the same opponents they matched up against in 2013-14. The team’s nonconference slate is highlighted by a trip to Vanderbilt in December as well as the Red and Blue’s normal Big 5 opponents.

Penn field hockey may have lost a lot of talent over the summer, but with senior attack Emily Corcoran returning, the Quakers still have hope to compete for an Ivy League championship. A Pennsylvania native, Corcoran is capable of taking on many important roles, ranging from goal scorer, setup man and midfield presence to serving as a strong-willed leader. The second-team All-Ivy attack proved she could be an offensive force in 2013 with a breakout campaign that featured 13 goals and nine assists, good for second and first on the Red and Blue, respectively. Not only did Corcoran score often last season — she scored when it mattered most. Her five game-winning goals led the Ivy League. The senior boasts a combination of size, strength and finesse that makes her one of the hardest offensive threats to defend in the Ancient Eight. Although her physique and skill set are difficult to replicate, her hustle and grit can be contagious. Now a captain, Corcoran has the opportunity to take her leadby-example style to the next level and help a team full of newcomers reach its full potential. After expressing how graduated senior Julie Tahan’s leadership would be missed, Corcoran said that it is “important and exciting for [her] to take on more of a leadership role as a captain.” Being a veteran, Corcoran has seen a paradigm shift in the Quakers’ attitude after last year’s impressive 13–4 campaign. “I think in the past we’ve kind of considered ourselves the underdog,” she said. “But after such a standout season last year, I think we’re going into this season with a lot more confidence. We definitely think we have a lot of skill and the ability to beat the top teams.” Coach Colleen Fink is more than happy to have the veteran Corcoran anchor her 2014 squad. “She’s resilient, she’s a work-
