Meet the three-month-old puppies training to become working dogs for Penn SKYLER PALATNICK | Staff Reporter

A

t just under three months old, a new batch of puppies have started training to become working dogs for Penn.

Socks, the five-year-old Labrador retriever who was the first recruit to the Division of Public Safety’s Canine Unit, gave birth to a litter of puppies earlier this year. Four of her new pup-

pies — Elvis, Jenner, Moxie and Willow — are in training at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center to fulfill a variety of professional roles.

PVWDC, which opened in September 2012, is devoted to caring for and training dogs to become police dogs, bomb sniffers, search-andrescue dogs and cancer detection canines.

Penn Police head explains the increase in party shutdowns 47 parties have been shut down since Aug. 24 HALEY SUH Deputy News Editor

In the midst of student petitions and frustration over the recent surge in social event closures, the Division of Public Safety says they still strongly believe that the higher level of security enforced upon social events benefits all students.

Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush is one of the three administrators chairing the Task Force on a Safe and Responsible Campus Community. Rush said in an interview that noise complaints and unregistered social events are the two biggest reasons that parties or gatherings are being shut down.

She also said the calls that the Penn Police Department receive are largely coming from members of the Penn community, such as students trying to study or faculty and staff members with children.

If the social event, whether it is a party or a small gathering with friends, was just cited for a noise complaint, police are not likely to shut it down, Rush said.

Of the 83 disorderly houses

reported so far since August 24, only 47 have been shut down.

“If you happen to be playing loud music with friends, that doesn’t mean you get shut down,” she said. “[It] just means the police comes and tells you to turn down the music. If there was a shutdown, that means that it was more than just loud music going on. The place was overflowing with students and [was] not registered as a party.”

On Sept. 16, the sorority Alpha Phi had their annual philanthropic event, “Mac N’ Phis,” shut down. Rush said that was an error on the part of the Penn Police. A police officer who had thought that the event was unregistered had shut down the event, but upon investigation in the following days, found that event was indeed registered.

“This is new,” Rush said.

“This is new for the police, new for the event observers who were hired, and we’re gonna get things right and get things wrong.”

College senior and President of Alpha Phi Caitlin Rubin said, “[The event] was going pretty well and then got shut down by the police for a noise complaint, We’re working with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life to hopefully prevent this kind of thing in the future.”

Rush added that the driving force behind the creation of the task force was not to rid campus of fun, social events, but to ensure students’ safety.

“In the past, we’ve had students who put themselves in very grave danger,” she said. “It wasn’t one solo incident. The task force is trying to tell students that you can have a lot of fun while doing it safely.”

The Task Force, which was created in February at the request of Penn President Amy Gutmann and former Provost Vincent Price, is led by the Vice Provost for University Life Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum, Vice Provost of Education Beth Winkelstein and Rush. The Task Force also inclides Faculty members and student leaders such as College senior and Undergraduate Assembly President Michelle Xu, who has said that the Task Force is not directly responsible for the uptick in social events being shut down.

A week before the start of school, McCoullum and Rush sent out a mass email to the undergraduate community informing students about the recommendations of the task force and its implications. Among the changes were the initiative SEE TASK FORCE PAGE 8

Students fight to sustain AsianAmerican Studies Program Their demands include more faculty members GIANNA FERRARIN Staff Reporter

Penn students and faculty have been working for months to ensure the future of the Asian American Studies Program, but they are growing frustrated with what seems to be a lack of commitment from administrators.

Despite a student-led protest and petition last spring calling for more resources to be directed to the ASAM program, no professors have been hired to replace former professor and ASAM Director Grace Kao. Kao, who was a key founding member of the ASAM program, announced her departure to Yale University last spring.

Students held a protest calling for Penn to hire a standing senior Asian-American sociology professor to replace Kao, and to provide a physical space to house the program as well as to increase funding for the permanent ASAM professors ASAM’s Undergraduate Advisory Board met with administrators twice in the spring, but members said that they have seen little response to their concerns this semester.

HALEY SUH | DEPUTY NEWS EDITOR

Since last spring, students and faculty members have called on the University to hire a new Asian-American sociology professor.

Some ASAM UAB members also noted that despite the verbal commitments from the administration, there has been almost no progress since Kao announced her departure. College senior and UAB member Daniel Chung said administrators have given off the impression that they’re already been doing enough to help the ASAM program.

The UAB members sent a followup email in May to the Dean of Arts and Sciences Steven Fluharty, former Interim Dean Andrew Binns and Asso-

ciate Dean Jeffrey Kallberg to summarize their conversations and set up future meetings — but they received no response.

Students worry that the delayed responses from administrators places ASAM’s existence in jeopardy. The program has only finalized interim directors for the next two years, and if a permanent replacement is not found for Kao within this time, students worry that ASAM courses will no longer be available at the university.

Study abroad costs vary greatly among different foreign campuses Some schools require students to pay for visas KELLY HEINZERLING Deputy News Editor

This year, Penn Abroad Director Nigel Cossar anticipates almost 500 Penn undergraduate students will study abroad for a semester.

The interest in studying abroad has become more common among students, but many find that financing a semester away from Penn can be more complicated than expected.

All students at Penn — whether studying on Penn’s campus in Philadelphia or at a university abroad — pay the same flat fee of $23,708 each semester for tuition. For students studying abroad, however, there are often additional expenses that vary on location.

Some students must pay for a student visa, which can cost hundreds of dollars depending on the country, but other students, like those studying at King’s College London, do not have to pay any fee for a student visa. Other variable fees include local transportation, books and supplies, housing and round-trip flights. Some countries also have mandatory health insurance attached to their semester abroad.

All these fees are typically categorized by the Study Abroad office as non-billable, additional costs, meaning, costs that are beyond the standard cost of tuition. Students on financial aid at Penn are likely able to receive aid for these costs — and

maybe even receive a refund of their aid if these ancillary costs are cheaper in their destination campus than at Penn — but those not on aid will have to bear these variable costs on their own.

Of the top 10 fall study abroad locations, Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid, Spain had the highest non-billable, additional cost of $11,710. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology had the lowest non-billable, additional cost of $6,058.

Cossar said he has never encountered a student who approached the Penn Abroad office and found that these additional costs served as a barrier to their prospective abroad plans.

“A large part of that is connected to the fact that Penn does take the semester abroad experience very seriously,” Cossar said. “Unlike many other schools in the [United States], we give Penn credits, not transfer credits, and we give grades towards cumulative GPA.” In practice, Penn treats its study abroad students no differently from Penn students on campus. Students studying abroad still have access to services such as Counseling and Psychological Services or the Student Health Service, pay tuition to Penn and continue to receive the financial aid packages that they previously received.

Elaine Papas Varas, the University director of financial aid, said Penn works hard to make sure they cover the additional costs listed on

the budget sheet for students on financial aid. She added that she has never witnessed a financial aid student unable to study abroad for a semester due to these additional costs.

However, students who have studied abroad on financial aid said the budget sheet provided on the Penn Abroad website can sometimes fail to take into account the ancillary costs that come with living abroad such as maintaining a housing lease in Philadelphia or arranging storage for the semester that they are away.

College senior Sabrina Zatarain, who studied in Spain last semester, said the budget sheet does not account for the costs associated with traveling to other countries, which is common for students studying abroad.

Varas also said that students who do not qualify for financial aid, but

cannot afford the additional costs of study abroad, do not suddenly become eligible to receive aid.

Students who were already recipients of financial aid or scholarships receive “refund checks” if the costs of their study abroad were less than the money they would have paid to attend Penn.

“I’m a financial aid kid so studying abroad at the Universidad de Sevilla was actually cheaper than a semester at Penn,” said Zatarain, who recalled being refunded money.

College senior DaLia Hughes, who studied in Spain last semester, also said she had extra money in her scholarship due to cheaper housing and food. Penn sent Hughes the money in a check while she was abroad.

“Penn wants to make sure that our programs are right academically for our students,” Cossar said.

“Cost is a secondary thing.”

“It’s a lot of them pushing it off and not wanting to deal with it and hoping it fades over summer,” College senior and UAB member Lindsey Lui said.

Students aren’t the only ones frustrated with administrators.

ASAM Interim Director Eiichiro Azuma said the College deans took months to respond to requests he had sent in April regarding the program. These requests included a tenure or tenuretrack faculty member to replace Kao, a physical space for ASAM talks and events to be held, administrative help for ASAM Associate Director Fariha Khan and a full time lecturer.

Azuma received his answer to these requests on Sept. 19, though he added that the deans’ retreat in June should have given ample time for a response to be given.

Out of these four requests, the Dean’s Office only explicitly agreed to one. The Dean’s Office has put out an ad for “Lecturer A”: a full time lecturer who can teach two courses for a maximum of three years. ASAM will be allowed to conduct this search and interview candidates in the spring.

The other requests, however, have been left pending or unaddressed.

Despite student and faculty requests, Penn administrators are not looking to find a new ASAM director. However, the deans have permitted the Sociology Department’s re-

quest to search for a faculty member with expertise in Asian-American studies.

But after talking to members of the Sociology Department, Azuma said this search is not specifically for someone with experience in Asian-American studies, but a search for a sociologist who looks at education, race and ethnicity. There is no guarantee that this faculty member would teach ASAM classes, and ASAM faculty members have not been enlisted to be part of the search committee.

Azuma said this incoming sociologist might not be able to fill the vacuum left by Kao, and existing ASAM faculty members do not have the capacity to do so either.

Khan agreed. “It’s not that she left and we’ve taken on some of her duties, because we can’t,” she said. “I’m trained as a folklorist, Dr. Azuma is trained as a historian. So we can’t actually — there’s just a gap there.”

Despite these complaints, Fluharty said the College remains “firmly committed” to ASAM. “The Asian American Studies Program is a very important one and we look forward to working together with the program and the appropriate departments to strengthen it,” he wrote in an emailed statement.

“I do wonder what would the program be like if there were full time Asian American Studies professors in a vibrant — vibrant as in institutionally funded and supported — program,” College senior Miru Osuga said.

“What could that be like?”

Student groups raise money for disaster victims Mex@Penn has collected $45,000 on GoFundMe MANLU LIU Staff Reporter

Over four days, an online fundraiser launched by members of Penn’s Mexican student association, Mex@Penn, has raised more than $45,000 to aid relief efforts for a recent earthquake in Mexico.

Students launched the fundraiser on GoFundMe in the wake of a series of strong earthquakes that have struck Central Mexico, killing more than 305 people in Mexico City and surrounding states. Proceeds from the collection will be donated to the Mexican Red Cross to provide relief across Mexico.

Mex@Penn President and College senior Sagid Manriquez, who launched the fundraiser, said he and other members of the group decided that they needed to do something after seeing images of the earthquake on social media.

“Most international students from Mexico here at Penn are actually from Mexico City,” Manriquez said. “Fortunately, nothing happened to their families but there was a lot of material damage.”

They decided that the best way to help with relief efforts would be

to fundraise by asking for donations from Penn students.

“When we started the campaign, we thought we would only reach Penn students and the Philly area,” Mex@Penn Social Chair and Wharton junior Santiago Gomez said.

But the campaign quickly spread beyond the Penn community. As of Sept. 24, the GoFundMe has raised more than $45,000 of their $50,000 goal.

Manriquez said the success of the campaign is largely due to publicity efforts by public figures in Mexico like the singer and actress Belinda Peregrin and the former Mexican presidential candidate Gabriel Quadri de la Torre, who retweeted a post on the fundraising campaign. “[Quadri] actually retweeted me like three times,” Manriquez said.

“He has thousands and thousands of followers, so it started becoming viral.”

Gomez said that while the description on the GoFundMe page described the group and the goals of the campaign, many donors said they wanted more details in order to feel comfortable donating funds.

To assuage these concerns, Mex@ Penn began shooting videos that better explain what its campaign is meant to do. They hope to post these

videos on the GoFundMe page.

“We got a lot of emails [saying] ‘Who are you guys and what are you guys going to do with the money? We need to see a receipt,’” Gomez said. “We thought a good way to respond would be for them to see our faces and us to explain who we were and what we’re doing.”

Mex@Penn Vice President of External Affairs and College and Wharton junior Antia Vazquez is from Mexico City. She said she wasn’t initially too worried about the earthquake because there had been one with magnitude of eight [on the Richter scale] just two weeks before that did not cause as much damage.

She realized the scale of the disaster after speaking with her family and seeing images of the destruction on social media.

Vasquez added that she experienced minor earthquakes almost daily while growing up in Mexico City, but earthquakes of this scale are rare.

The Mex@Penn campaign is focused on raising donations for the Red Cross right now, but they hope to expand the campaign to collect donations for organizations involved with urban reconstruction in the coming weeks, Gomez said.

“Even though the first impact of the catastrophe is now, we have to

College gets 60 percent of tuition revenue

Many required courses are taught in the College KELLY HEINZERLING Deputy News Editor

It is not uncommon while sitting in a College course to see students from Engineering, Nursing or Wharton sitting next to you.

This is largely because of Penn’s well-advertised “interdisciplinary” aspect of the undergraduate education. Undergraduates are often encouraged — and sometimes required — to take classes in one of the four undergraduate schools outside of their “home school.”

When they take classes offered in different schools at Penn, however, part of their tuition gets re-allocated to the school that the class is being offered.

This in turn, means that each undergraduate school does not make its tuition revenue exclusively based on the number of students enrolled each respective school, but rather, on the number of undergraduate students across all four schools actually taking the courses offered by the school.

In 2016, 53 percent of the undergraduate student body was enrolled in the College of Arts and Science, but approximately 60 percent of the total undergraduate tuition revenue was allocated to the College, said the Vice President of Budget and Management Analysis Trevor Lewis.

At other undergraduate schools, the figures were reversed.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science makes up 18 percent of the student body, but it only received 13 percent of tuition revenue; the School of Nursing makes up 7 percent of the student body, but only received 4 percent of the revenue; the Wharton School makes up 23 percent of the student body, but only received 20 percent of the

revenue.

Lewis explained that each Penn class has the same “value” attached to it, so no course is worth more tuition than another, regardless of the school in which it is offered. Lewis was not immediately able to provide a quantitative number for this “value.”

“A proportion of our tuition is directed towards the school that teaches the course,” Lewis said.

“The value of Engineering teaching a College student is equal to the value of the College teaching an Engineering student or Wharton [student]. It’s the same for all undergrads.”

The College is the largest of the four undergraduate schools, but also attracts many outside students looking to fulfill humanities requirements of their respective schools.

“The College has the most students, and they do the most teaching in terms of courses taught,” Lewis said. “They have the most revenue by far.”

Engineering Dean Vijay Kumar estimated that an average Engineering student will take half of his or her credits outside of Engineering.

Most of these credits will be taken in the College, where Engineering requirements such as chemistry and math are offered.

Wharton Dean Geoffrey Garrett added a single degree at Wharton requires a student to take 40 percent of his or her classes outside of Wharton.

Multiple administrators contacted by The Daily Pennsylvanian said they did not know which courses are most popular among students from outside schools. They also could not give the breakdown of what percentage of a school’s classes were taken by students from different schools. Additionally, none could identify an office at Penn that precisely tracked this information.

The Office of Budget and Man-

agement Analysis suggested the Provost’s Office might have this information. The Provost’s Office directed the DP to the Office of the University Registrar, which pointed to the Office of Communications.

The Office did not have this data.

The person who answered a phone call to the Wharton School Office of Undergraduate Admissions said Wharton did not have this information and suggested contacting the Office of the University Registrar. This time, the Office of the University Registrar suggested contacting the Provost’s Office.

At the College office, Associate Dean of the College Kent Peterson wrote in an email that he had “no idea what [College] courses are most popular” with students outside the College.

He continued, “Why is that important to anyone but sheep? It’s of no interest to me.”

Moxie and Willow have succeeded in various training tasks including walking over a peanut shaped medicine ball and locating someone hiding in a barrel.

“You start them with something simple, and they pick up quickly,” Training Director for PVWDC, Major Annemarie DeAngelo, said.

“We do a lot of things with a little distraction in the beginning because they are so young.”

DeAngelo said that she was satisfied with the puppies’ progress so far, but added that there are certain challenges that come with training puppies. In addition to their tendency to be easily distracted, some of the puppies have been reluctant to participate in certain tasks.

trainer Donna Magness said.

Magness, who is one of three trainers designated to Socks’ puppies, is in charge of training Elvis and Moxie.

PVWDC trainers Bridget Stewart and Danielle Berger are assigned to Jenner and Willow respectively.

DeAngelo and the trainers said it is important for the dogs to have fun while training.

“We don’t want to force them. We want them to do it because it’s fun. So if it’s just two feet [on the ball] that’s okay. When he goes and gets on himself, that’s called offering the behavior,” DeAngelo said.

She added that many of the tasks that people view as lifesaving skills are approached by the dogs as games.

Since the puppies are so young, their future careers haven’t been determined yet.

The trainers will choose their roles based on the dogs’ preferences and skills.

“For search and rescue, you need to be really, really good at hunting. Police dogs

are more visual based. It’s what the dog is good at and what they enjoy,” Stewart said about their future assignments.

For her second litter of puppies, Socks was bred with Pete, a dog from the Puppies Behind Bars program, which enlists prison inmates to care for and train service and bomb-sniffing dogs for wounded veterans and law enforcement officers.

Socks’ caretaker, Penn Police Officer Julie Wesley, has been patrolling campus with Socks since 2014.

“I’ve been with her about four years,” she said. “She has a built-in light switch where she knows work versus home.”

Their duties can include sniffing unattended packages and checking the sites of large-scale events for explosives.

Volunteers of all skill levels are able to work with the PVWDC. Interested persons can donate time by fostering a puppy or collaborating on research at PVWDC.

Inspired by Mex@Penn, several students from Puerto Rico created their own GoFundMe page to collect donations for victims of Hurricane Maria, which caused widespread damage to the island on Sept. 20, killing at least 10 and leaving millions without power or cell service. The mayor of Puerto Rico capital San Juan Carmen Yulín Cruz said it might take months for electricity to be restored in the city.

The “Students with Puerto Rico” campaign seeks to raise funds for Unidos Por Puerto Rico, a publicprivate charitable initiative created by the office of Puerto Rican first lady Beatriz Isabel Rossello to provide aid for those affected by the storm. It has raised more than $20,000 towards its goal of $50,000.

“From the beginning, we were talking and calling people from other schools. We really want to be a united effort as a way to consolidate funds and make our impact bigger,” said College junior Andrea Barreras, one of the three Penn organizers of the campaign.

OPINION

Wasn’t this supposed to be about preventing sexual assault?

REAL TALK | Penn’s new event guidelines, and the responding outrage, are obfuscating the real issue

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2017 VOL. CXXXIII, NO. 73 133rd Year of Publication CARTER COUDRIET President DAN SPINELLI Executive Editor LUCIEN WANG Print Director ALEX GRAVES Digital Director ALESSANDRO VAN DEN BRINK Opinion Editor REBECCA TAN Senior News Editor WILL SNOW Senior Sports Editor CHRIS MURACCA Design Editor CAMILLE RAPAY Design Editor JULIA SCHORR Design Editor LUCY FERRY Design Editor VIBHA KANNAN Enterprise Editor SARAH FORTINSKY News Editor MADELEINE LAMON News Editor ALLY JOHNSON Assignments Editor

There’s been no shortage of outrage, from petitions to public statements, over the recent policy changes regarding social events at Penn. Clearly the implementation of event monitors and new social event guidelines has not sat well with a very vocal section of our undergraduate population. In fact, so much focus has been placed on the changes to Penn’s policies, it’s easy to forget what set those changes in motion in the first place — the now infamous OZ email.

For those new students who aren’t familiar, the OZ email was a message sent last year from an offcampus fraternity, OZ, to freshmen girls at Penn. It included some sexist language and became a symbol of “rape culture” on campus. After the email gained traction, a task force was formed to “foster a campus climate and culture that is free of sexual harassment and sexual violence, alcohol and other substance abuse.” And now, only one semester after the task force released its recommendations, Penn has made serious changes to its event policies.

I apologize if you’re already familiar with that history, but I think it’s important to realize how significantly the conversation has shifted in less than a year. The new policy changes represent one of the most aggressive attempts by the admin-

istration to shape social life at Penn in recent memory. And yet, the majority of what Penn is implementing doesn’t seem to address the very issue that students themselves originally chose to rally around — Penn’s pervasive culture of sexual violence.

Of course, this change in focus is by no means new. Even though the task force was charged with fostering a culture free of sexual harassment and violence, those issues were not once mentioned in its list of recommendations.

Instead the recommendations — much like the recent social event policy changes — seem focused on regulating Greek life and Penn’s drinking culture. Even as someone who deplores Penn’s fraternity scene, I can’t help but think that this paternalistic approach is misguided and worse, it obfuscates the bigger issue of sexual violence.

If, however, the administration believes that its new policy changes will actually alleviate the culture of sexual violence that the task force was originally assigned to address, then there may be even more reason

to criticize their approach.

To get a better sense of how Penn’s social event policy changes will actually address this issue, I spoke with the chair of Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention and the Panhellenic Council President, College senior Caroline Ohlson.

“I think it’s really important to recognize that party culture and

sexual violence. And to its credit, Penn has recently made an effort to improve its educational resources.

The creation of the Anti-Violence Engagement Network — a program to help student groups create a safer campus culture — is a positive step in that direction and the administration should be commended for it.

However, the creation of AVEN seems far less impressive when put into the greater context of Penn’s recent policy changes. When compared to the implementation of event monitors and restrictive alcohol policies, this initiative is clearly the less aggressive of the bunch, which shows the unfortunate state of Penn’s priorities. And given that only five out of Penn’s 27 fraternities completed all IFC mandated education programs, an increased focus on the importance of educational initiatives is undoubtedly needed.

By shifting its focus from sexual assault to alcohol abuse and hazing, the administration has unfortunately redirected our attention away from the issue that matters most.

Now, instead of writing open letters critiquing fraternity culture and

By shifting its focus from sexual assault to alcohol abuse and hazing, the administration has unfortunately redirected our attention away from the issue that matters most.” rape culture are two separate issues and that it’s important not to present it as if cutting back on drinking is going to cut back on sexual assault,” Ohlson said. “I think that we have to be very careful not to promote a victim-blaming culture.”

Rather than focusing on regulating Penn’s party culture, Ohlson stressed the importance of educational initiatives for combating

CAMERON DICHTER demanding that we hold each other accountable, students are crafting petitions that inanely correlate event closures with suicide. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see that Penn students are voicing their concerns over changes in event policy and, on the whole, I think they’re right to do so. But the fact that what started as a movement to end rape culture, especially among fraternities, has now been replaced by a movement to protect frat parties, shows how far afield this debate has gotten.

If the administration, and we as Penn students, are truly determined to make this community safer for all of its members, then the first step is to recenter the conversation around the issue of sexual violence.

MERICAN IN AMERICA | Words are not cheap How often do you mean what you say?

When you say “I’ll be there,” how many times do you turn up? When you say, “Let’s grab a meal together soon,” how many times do you actually send a message, arrange a time and place and eat together?

Are we too polite to say no?

Are we too meek to say no?

Since when has “I’ll be there” become a polite way to turn someone down, to wiggle out of circumstances where we are too afraid to say “No?” Since when has “let’s grab a meal together soon” become a convenient conversation ender?

I am sometimes shocked at how my speech has been altered by the culture at Penn after just over a year. Another tendency of this place is to launch into a barrage of praise and superlatives about almost everything.

We say our friends are “the most amazing, smart, beautiful, gorgeous” people ever, that our dinner was “literally the most awesome thing we ate” and when someone — merely — does something right, we tell them that they are “doing amazing.” When someone mentions

a friend we know, we exclaim, “Oh my gosh, Annie? I love her!” Suddenly, an acquaintance is a friend, a friend is a good friend and a good friend is a “best friend.”

I have learned to calibrate the scales in my head, to figure out what people actually mean.

When someone says that you are “literally amazing,” most of the time they mean, “You are a decent human being.” When someone says, “I think the idea’s amazing,” most of the time they mean, “Hmm, we should consider that.” We are not all surrounded by “literal geniuses,” “brilliant ideas” and “literally the most amazing people” all the time here at Penn, and that’s (perfectly) OK. Superlatives, in excess, dilute the meaning of words, warp the reality of the relationship and simply leaves in its wake, either a group of confused people with raised expectations, or a group of cynical people second guessing and “dumbing down” all

that is said. Superlatives are not cheap — they are meant to highlight and speak of something in its highest degree and quality, so let’s not throw them around so carelessly.

Old habits die hard and we also often parrot the way other people talk, but I think it will make a bit of difference if we all tried to “say what we mean, and mean what we say.” This cam-

I truly will be there, and not falling on a convenient phrase to wiggle out of something.

When I say, “You are amazing,” I don’t want you to have to second guess me. I want you to know I think you are different, set apart from the rest and that you inspire me.

When I say, “You are the kindest,” I want you to know that your thoughtfulness gives me hope, your compassion carries me through bad days and that the world feels a little brighter and lighter with your presence.

When I say, “That was an amazing idea,” I want you to know that what you said truly had me thinking, and I want to hear more.

When I say, “Let’s grab a meal together,” I want you to know that I am genuinely interested in knowing you, and that we will find a place to meet and talk.

When I say, “I’m sorry,” I want you to know that I truly tried my very best, made every effort, but fell short.

I refuse to dress my words up anymore, or play mind games with words. I want my words to be true.” pus would be a bit happier if we were all a little more genuine and a little more sincere.

So this is my resolution for the year: When I say “I’m going” — either in person or on Facebook (most likely the latter because that’s just the way things are now) — I want you to know that

SARA MERICAN When I say, “I missed you,” I want you to know that I truly felt your absence when I saw the empty chair at the meeting, saw something on TV that reminded me of you and that I feel a little bit more complete now that I’m reunited with you.

When I say “love,” I say it in full knowledge that “love” is not “like.” “Love” carries more weight, more fervor, perhaps more expectation.

I refuse to dress my words up anymore, or play mind games with words. I want my words to be true.

Should Penn end its event monitoring policies?

GROUP THINK GROUP THINK is The Daily Pennsylvanian’s round table section, where we throw a question at the columnists and see what answers stick. Read your favorite columnist, or read them all.

This past weekend a petition calling for Penn to roll back its event monitor policies gained a lot of traction.

Do you believe that the task force efforts to combat sexual violence and substance abuse are currently misguided with regard to events monitoring?

If so, what policies should the administration consider as an alternative?

Spencer Swanson | Spencer’s Space I wholeheartedly agree with the call for Penn to roll back its policies that intensify the University’s monitoring of events.

I’m not sure I agree with all of the statements in the recent change.org petition, specifically its assertion that our best Penn memories will come via our off-campus antics. I do, however, stand firmly in the

camp that objects to Penn’s paternalistic approach. Life outside the classroom and away from our club and job search obligations is indeed integral to our intellectual growth and emotional wellbeing. Significantly, this extracurricular, off-campus life must let Penn students feel free and unencumbered. Just as importantly, we should feel safe from sexual harassment and the dangers associated with our own and our peers’ excessive substance abuse. I just don’t think that task force patrols in bulletproof vests standing guard outside an off-campus frat party is the best approach.

Cameron Dichter | Real Talk It’s entirely fair for students to question Penn’s policies, especially when they encroach on off-campus life. But to try and claim, as the author of the petition did, that cracking down on frat parties is somehow a mental health issue is insulting to those on campus who actually suffer from mental illness.

James Lee | The Conversation “When Prohibition was introduced, I hoped that it would be widely supported by public opinion and the day would soon come when the evil effects of alcohol would be recognized.

I have slowly and reluctantly come to believe that this has not been the result. Instead, drinking has generally increased.” — John D. Rockefeller.

Isabella Simonetti | Simonetti Says So As a freshman, it’s difficult for me to take a stance on whether or not the task force’s efforts to combat sexual violence and substance abuse are misguided. I’ve received minimal reliable information on the policies of the task force, and have had no personal experience dealing with them. However, I have closely read the petition by College senior Cami Potter that has garnered the attention of thousands of Penn students, demanding less rigorous enforcement of current rules with regards to Greek life and parties.

In the petition, Potter failed to cite particular aspects of the task force’s policies that require change, and instead, inappropriately used Penn’s mental health crisis as rationale for her vague argument. “Rather than spend money and time on creating a task force to combat skyrocketing depression rates from academic and financial pressures, Penn has decided to create a task force that debilitates one of the very things that keeps its students sane: their lives outside of school,” she wrote.

Anxiety and depression are not excuses to sanction parties where illegal activity is taking place, particularly in today’s rape culture. According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, “Among undergraduate students, 23.1% of females and 5.4% of males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation.”

These statistics may warrant strict regulation of on- and offcampus parties.

But perhaps shutting down events is not the most effective way to target issues of substance abuse and sexual violence. Penn might want to consider providing students with more of an education on these topics as opposed to blindly closing down parties.

Ultimately, Cami Potter’s petition should not be the argument we use to demand the revision the task force’s current policies. However, it seems that there may be room for reform in how Penn addresses the pressing issues of rape and substance abuse.

Lucy Hu | Fresh Take In an email to the student body, the vice provost for university life essentially declared that Penn would spend precious resources on having officers roam up and down Pine Street on Friday nights.

In this whole mess, Penn seems to be missing the obvious. Underage students like to drink alcohol, and they will not be stopped by event monitors.

Mandating the registration of

events that serve alcohol does not limit illegal consumption — it doesn’t even promote safe consumption. Rather, it pushes the illegal drinking beyond the peripheries of the event monitors.

No matter the scope of the officials, and no matter the amount of resources Penn wants to senselessly devote to becoming a spy agency, students will always find a way to consume their desired amount of alcohol if they have an intent to do so.

Instead of disastrously trying to prohibit minors from drinking, Penn should wholeheartedly accept that many students choose to drink. Resources should be diverted to education and support. The earlier that a student knows how to drink responsibly, the less chances there are for dangerous substance abuse. Coming into Penn, students should be taught ways to mitigate alcohol risk, not intimidated with the proposition that monitors will be checking on them. When did prohibition ever work?

College Republicans’ new University Council representative voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Ngowu hopes to represent more ‘moderate’ views JAMES MCFADDEN Staff Reporter

Penn’s chapter of College Republicans has chosen a new representative to advance their interests to administrators — one who voted for Hillary Clinton in last year’s election.

Wharton junior Nile Nwogu will serve as the University Council representative for College Republicans this academic year. Nwogu said he was chosen in part because he is a more moderate conservative.

“Moving forward, the board chose a more moderate representative — that’s me,” Nwogu said.

“I’ve been on the DP quoted before, I voted for Hillary Clinton, but I identify as conservative.”

The University Council brings together administrators and students to discuss issues on campus. Nwogu was nominated to represent the College Republicans at the council after former Council representative and College and Wharton sophomore Michael Moroz criticized administrators’ statements condemning President Donald Trump’s travel ban on seven Muslim countries.

At the meeting in February, Moroz said the College Republicans were “dismayed” by the repeated emails from the administration, and added that he thinks “this kind of political debate is not within the purview of public positions the Uni-

versity ought to take.”

Moroz also said that if anything, the travel ban was “too narrow.”

Leaders of College Republicans soon clarified that his statements did not reflect the official views of

the club, and emphasized that a Jan. 30 Facebook statement on the travel ban was the group’s official stance.

While Moroz has remained a member of College Republicans, the group did decide to nominate a

new representative for the University Council.

“There wasn’t too much drama going around [Moroz’s statements],” Wharton senior and College Republicans President Sean Egan said. “But the board made the choice that they felt that someone else might better represent the views of the entire club, not just parts of it, and they chose to ask the [Council] to consider making that switch.”

Moroz painted a different image of the organization.

“It’s fairly well known that there are divisions within both major parties in the country and the Republicans on campus are no exception, so there was always a more moderate faction,” he said. “There are Republican [students] who were probably campaigning for Hillary last year and they made themselves known.

It’s an ongoing battle.”

The Nominations and Elections Committee, which oversees student participation in the Council, has a policy that Council representatives

cannot be replaced in the middle of the semester, so Moroz continued to represent College Republicans until the end of last semester.

Nwogu said that in this new role, he hopes to advocate not just for members of College Republicans, but also other conservative students on campus.

“There’s a broader constituency of conservatives on campus that may not identify as College Republicans,” he said. He said he sees his job as “making sure that people that identify as conservative feel comfortable enough to share their ideas on campus.”

Nwogu is optimistic about College Republicans’ future in the Council.

“There’s a mutual understanding between the University Council and us on what our goals are,” Nwogu said. “The administrators seem to want to hear our voice and have something to say. We’re grateful for our seat and I think it’s going to be beneficial in the future.”

Students evaluate CAPS’ relocation to Market Street CAPS moved to its current spot two years ago KATIE BONTJE Staff Reporter

Counseling and Psychological Services moved to its current location at 3624 Market St. in January 2015, after the University announced the Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics would take its place adjacent to the Penn Bookstore.

Since the move two years ago, students have debated whether CAPS’ new location has made mental health resources more or less accessible.

“So initially, there was definitely vocal concern that this was too far away … When we actually opened up and students began to come here they reported to us something different,” Director of CAPS Bill Alexander said. ”[Students] said, ‘Well, actually it is another couple of minutes walk, but we like the privacy because once we get over to Market Street there is a certain anonymity.’”

Alexander added that some students felt self-conscious walking into the old CAPS building because of its highly visible location.

College freshman Tise Ben-Eka said she thinks the new CAPS location is not very accessible, adding that she believes students value accessibility over privacy when visiting CAPS. College freshman Summer Kapanka said that she thought the move does not provide students with more privacy.

“That’s not a great argument because it’s a lot more obvious if you’re walking all by yourself to Market Street because not many people go there anyways,” Kapanka said.

“They’re either going to [Student Health Service] or CAPS, which I think doesn’t protect your privacy at all. I think the accessibility should totally outweigh the proposed privacy of it.”

But some students disagree.

College senior Will Saunders, who has visited CAPS on and off since his freshman year, said he much prefers the new location because of its pristine facilities, larger space and privacy.

Alexander said the primary motivation for choosing the moving to the current location was the space.

He said it was nearly impossible to find a space that could accommodate

the proposed expansion of CAPS in 2015. The space now is 25 percent bigger than it was before and has 300 percent more space for groups and workshops.

Alexander said at the previous location, the one room available for groups and workshops also served as the staff meeting room and break room. It was “tight,” he said.

The current group room is larger and can be divided into four smaller rooms using soundproof partitions that drop down from the ceiling.

This new room has allowed CAPS to add mindfulness programs, meditation sessions, the Career Anxiety Workshop and a larger Anxiety Management Workshop.

Alexander also said he doesn’t see CAPS moving in the near future, but added that there has been “conceptual” talk about a wellness center.

“I know there has been, conceptually, people talking about a wellness center which would house CAPS and Student Health and maybe some other things, all in one big building.

That building doesn’t exist,” Alexander said. “They would have to find donors and then find space and then build a building. That’s a long way off.”

Legal expert weighs in on Disability Services’ student email address leak Penn unlikely to receive serious repercussions OLIVIA SYLVESTER Deputy News Editor

After an email from Student Disability Services on Sept.

6 accidentally revealed the email addresses of 299 students who receive accommodations, Drexel University Law professor Robert Field said that Penn will likely receive a “slap on the wrist.”

Field, who specializes in health management and policy, said that this mistake falls under the jurisdiction of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which is a federal law that

ensures the protection of private student records. According to the FERPA website, the law applies to any schools that receive federal funding from the Department of Education.

Field said that he is more familiar with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act than FERPA but that from his experiences an “isolated, inadvertent release [of private information] results in a slap on the wrist.”

He specified that a pattern of release of, or intentional release of, information could result in “serious penalties.”

“If this is an isolated incident and they try to remedy it as quickly as possible, they proba-

bly have covered their legal bases [when it comes to FERPA],” Field said.

As far as civil suits are concerned, Field said that any students looking to pursue legal action as a result of this mistake would have to show there had been “some kind of harm.”

“They would have to show that this information was more widely available and caused them some kind of harm,” Field said, “either directly costing them a job or a grade or something or indirectly caused them embarrassment.”

Monica Yant Kinney, a University spokesperson, declined to comment on behalf of Jesselson Director of Student Disabil-

to increase the number of Event Observers as well as the requirement for identified off-campus organizations to provide members’ contact information to the Office of Student Affairs.

There was also a slew of regulations for students who wanted to host and register a party on or off campus.

McCoullum wrote in a statement that some student groups have been required to register their social events for over 20 years. The administrative shift has been to expand this registration process to all student groups, including those based off campus, she added.

“All students and groups are expected to follow state and local laws, and relevant Penn policies,” McCoullum said. “Student organizations wishing to host and sponsor events are expected to register with the Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Program Initiatives.”

Per McCoullum’s statement, there have already been 49 applications for registered events, including many from

ity Services Susan Shapiro due to Rosh Hashana.

Field said that the biggest concern was what the Nursing senior who received accommodations told The Daily Pennsylvanian when the accident first happened: Students may feel deterred from pursuing accommodations from SDS in the future as a result of this mistake.

“I worry that this breach in our confidentiality will cause students to not register for the accommodations they need because they feel they cannot trust the institution,” the Nursing senior said.

Field said that by law, students are entitled to “reasonable accommodations” if needed, and not getting necessary accommodations could affect their academic careers.

“Students should feel comfortable accessing all of the protections that they are entitled to,” Field said.

registered Greek organizations, submitted this academic year. Of those, 16 were approved and took place in the first month of the semester and another 29 applications have been proposed for the coming weeks and are under AOD review.

While the administration holds that these new policies benefit the entire campus community, students have expressed confusion and frustration over the Task Force’s intentions and exact guidelines.

College junior Sherry Tseng, who is a member of Sigma Kappa sorority, said the stricter policies could also possibly lead to more danger.

“People are going to go off campus now, which can be more dangerous,” Tseng said.

“This can also lead to a greater socioeconomic gap. [The administration’s] intentions are good, but they’re just not doing it in a good way.”

In order to answer further questions that students may have regarding the new policies, DPS will be holding “office hours” every Friday at 11 a.m. until the end of the semester.

Career Services’ resources help LGBTQ students find that perfect job or internship

Both undergrad and grad students are eligible GIOVANNA PAZ Staff Reporter

The job search is a major concern for students at Penn, but for those who are LGBTQ, looking for the right workplace can be even more complicated.

Director of Career Services Patricia Rose said the department tries to ensure that students who identify as LGBTQ are connected to people and organizations that provide adequate help.

At Career Services, staff members are trained to be aware of the needs of different types of students, Rose said. LGBTQ students can expect to receive targeted help when it comes to finding jobs and internships that are specifically known for welcoming students of various sexualities and genders. Rose added that this also applies to students looking to apply to graduate schools that provide resources for LGBTQ students.

Engineering sophomore Jack Lanzi said he utilized the resources at Career Services this past summer to find and pursue a semester-long internship at

LGBT Center and works to promote the professional opportunities that LGBTQ student groups such as Wharton Alliance can offer for others, including those outside of Wharton.

College senior and President of Wharton Alliance Jackson Burke said the initiatives that the group runs can help students identify and connect to LGBTQ-friendly professionals.

“We have our corporate sponsors,” Burke said. “Part of the agreement with that is we’ll market for them, we’ll provide them with a resume book and

also that we’ll host joint events with them specifically for LGBT students.”

Burke said once businesses show interest in Penn students, the group works to invite them to small gatherings with students, where the ratio of professionals to students is around five to one. This allows students to meet the industry professionals in a more personal setting than they would usually be able to.

Burke added that Wharton Alliance offers information about businesses that have employee resource groups or

business resource groups that focus on gender and sexuality or serve as a space for LGBTQ employees. They also help connect students to businesses that have mentorship groups for their LGBTQ employees.

“For me it has provided a ton of personal and professional development from people who have shared similar identities and shared similar struggles,” Burke said about the group.

“To the point where they are that much more invested in my development and my success as a gay man and as an eventual young professional.”

Career Services suggests workplaces with high standards of “LGBT Equality,” per the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index.

the LGBTQ-friendly company Tesla.

Lanzi said his experience so far working at Tesla’s office in Fremont, Calif. has helped him change his own perception of what it could be like to work in the tech industry. “[This internship] definitely has shown me that I should never take an industry as a place that will be inherently homophobic, where people will inherently ignorant,” Lanzi said.

“That has been a really valuable

lens for me.”

The Career Services website provides other information on networking opportunities and employers that are known to be LGBTQ-friendly. The department encourages students to look into the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, which rates different workplaces based on their “LGBT Equality” standards.

ably. Even the defense, who gave up 47 points, managed to force three turnovers — and also score a defensive PAT for the first time since 2011.

However, the defense did struggle to make stops against a potent offense, led by a dangerous quarterback. They gave up a total of 552 yards, as Lehigh (0-4) piled up big gain after big gain. “Today the offense had

Philadelphia and of the 76ers organization.�

As two of the premier basketball institutions in Philadelphia, this will not be the first time that Sixers and the Palestra unite. The team has held other open practices at the stadium in the past, and in 2011, Wharton class of 1986 grad Josh Harris officially announced his purchase of the team in a press conference at the Palestra.

While the Sixers have suffered losing records for the last five

seasons, the team’s busy offseason has given many cause to be optimistic, including Harris. “We have conviction that our strategy is right,� Harris told The DP in June.

Fans seeking to attend the scrimmage will be able to acquire tickets through the 76ers’ social media platforms starting on Tuesday, September 26. Early access to the tickets will also be available through Club 76, the team’s membership and season-ticket waiting list.

Quakers fall to Drexel, 2-1, in a tough Battle for 33rd Street

said. “I think at different times in the last couple years we’ve hit that stride at different points... If we keep on making good decisions, and making good plays, we’ll just build momentum.�

The first two games of the season have seen fireworks fly from the Quakers, and the lively crowd of over five thousand saw something particularly special. If the trend continues, the fans at Franklin Field will be in for a fine showing on Friday.

A hard-fought match ended in defeat for Penn men’s soccer, who came into Saturday’s game against Drexel seeking their second win of the season. Although the 2-1 loss was disappointing, the game provided the youthful Quakers something more valuable: experience.

Penn (1-6) conceded two goals within two minutes of one another, both scored by Drexel’s Sebastien Cabral in the 16th and 18th minutes. “We’re getting punished in those little moments,� Penn Coach Rudy Fuller emphasized after the match. “We have to put a full 90 minutes together.�

After digging themselves a 2-0 hole early, the Quakers continued to fight to work their way out of it.

The Quakers only goal on the night came off the foot of senior captain Sam Wancowicz, who scored off a

over on downs. While there were many problems that the Quakers need to sort out, the defense came through when it counted.

Last week, my colleague argued that we still didn’t know much about this team. But after the game against Lehigh, we do know a few things: they can spread the ball around, they can score and they can force key turnovers.

And if they keep that up, they’ll be just fine in Ivy play.

Senior defender Sam Wancowicz’s goal from a corner kick wasn’t enough for the Quakers to beat Drexel in the Battle for 33rd Street.

corner kick by finishing a cross to the near post with a first-touch shot around the keeper early in the second half.

Penn pressured the Dragons (1-4-1) throughout the match, outshooting them six to four in the first half and ten to three in the second. “I think we had some chances for the second [goal], but unfortunately it didn’t fall in for us,� Fuller said. “This [performance] is certainly something to build on going into the Ivy opener against Cornell next weekend.�

The team displayed resilience on Saturday night as the Quakers fought to claw their way back, even if they ultimately came up short.

Fuller also commended the play of the freshmen in the match, citing how far they have come since the start of the season. “Guys like Wes Maki, Jake Kohlbrenner, and Alex Touche continue to grow and develop,� Fuller said. “I think they are still gaining experience, but they’re further along than they were game one.�

Despite falling to 1-6 on the season, the team will take away many positives from Saturday night’s loss.

Still, Fuller continues to preach the importance of putting together 90 minutes of quality soccer.

Penn will look to get back in the win column this Saturday against Ivy League rival Cornell.

Sprint football grinds out gritty win over Chestnut Hill to go to 2-0 Quakers’ defense shines while offense stutters MARC MARGOLIS Associate Sports Editor

Different opponent, same dominant defense.

Even though Penn sprint football’s offense did not score as much as it did against Caldwell, the defense turned in another strong performance, holding Chestnut Hill to seven points in a 20-7 win on Friday night.

From the very beginning, the Quakers came out strong. The defense forced a three-and-out, and the offense scored on its first play of the game: a 64-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Eddie Jenkins to junior wide receiver Aidan Kelly. Sophomore kicker Theodoros Papazekos missed the extra point to keep the score at 6-0.

After that drive, though, the offense stagnated through most of the first half, but Penn’s defense stepped up, blanking the Griffins (0-2) on the scoreboard. Penn (2-0) had particularly strong performances from freshmen defenders Matt Gorman and Connor Ashton, who each paced the Quakers with eight and six tackles, respectively.

As a team, Penn allowed a mere 53 yards on offense and three first downs in the first half.

Despite the solid first-half defensive performance, the offense’s struggles kept Chestnut Hill in the game by missing out on opportunities to put points on the board. In particular, Penn had two trips to the red zone where it failed to score any points.

The first failed trip occurred with 4:27 left in the second quarter when Papazekos pushed a 21-yard field goal wide right. On its next drive, junior running back Jake Klaus fumbled the ball at the nine-yard line.

Between the missed extra point, field goal and fumble, the Quakers left up to 11 points on the table. Instead of a commanding 17-0 lead, the defending Collegiate Sprint Football League champions were in a one possession game and in danger of an upset. “[The defense] had our backs all game,� Jenkins reflected. “It motivated us to play better because we wanted to return the favor for how well they had been playing to keep us in the game.�

Penn picked up its play at the start of the second half. On its first possession, Klaus redeemed himself by finding the end zone on a one-yard rush after a seven-play, 63-yard drive to give the Quakers a 13-0 lead.

Still, Chestnut Hill kept putting pressure on Penn after connecting on an 81-yard pass play to once again make it a one possession game.

Jenkins brought it back up to two possessions at the start of the fourth quarter by rushing for a 43-yard touchdown, pushing the score to 207. Even with a two possession lead, Penn still had to fend off a scrappy Chestnut Hill team that refused to go away.

After letting up the 81-yard touchdown, Penn’s defense got back on track and continued to give Chestnut Hill trouble. However, its signature play of the game came on fourth down with 2:52 left. Defensive coordinator John Amendt dialed up a blitz that sent Gorman off the edge. After initially missing the quarterback, junior defensive end Sam Smallzman, playing in his first game since tearing his ACL last year, pushed him back into the grasp of Gorman, who clinched the game with an 8-yard sack. “As a defensive player, you dream of moments like that,� Gorman said.

Despite being a freshman, Gorman leads the Quakers in tackles this season and has been a key cog

for a team that has yet to give up more than a touchdown in a single game.

Still, the big story of the game is the return of Smallzman. A 2015 second-team All-CSFL linebacker as a freshman, Smallzman tore his ACL against Cornell last year in the sixth game of the season. After working hard to rehab and get into game shape, Smallzman experienced a range of emotions in his first game back. “When [I tore my ACL] again last year, I was just in disbelief,�

Smallzman said. “I honestly wasn’t sure if I would be able to find the same motivation to bounce back this time. Ultimately, I have only two years left to play football and give everything I got before I can’t play anymore. To be honest being back last night for the first time last night, I barely thought about the injury. I was so excited to be back.�

After not starting the first half, Smallzman played most of the second half, replacing junior defensive end Cole Jacobson, who is also a senior sports reporter for the Daily Pennsylvanian. “If his return means fewer snaps for us but it benefits the defense as a unit, that’s a trade we’ll gladly take,�

Jacobson said speaking on behalf of the entire defensive line.

Jenkins led Penn up and down the field with relative ease but a red zone turnover, nine offensive penalties, and a missed field goal and extra point made it difficult for the Quakers to get out of their own way.

Still, coach Bill Wagner remains very upbeat about his offense’s performance. “Offensively, we are pretty pleased with what’s going on,�

Wagner said. “We just got too many penalties.�

The defense is playing at a high level but it needs the offense to look more like it did against Caldwell if it hopes repeat as CSFL champions.

Brooks’ (almost) record day wins Player of the Week

FOOTBALL | Soph. was 4

yds shy of rushing record

YOSEF WEITZMAN Sports Editor

This performance was one for the record B(r)ooks.

On Saturday against Lehigh, sophomore running back Karekin Brooks dominated with 268 rushing yards and four total touchdowns to carry Penn to its 65-47 victory. His 268 yards might have not been quite enough to break Penn’s all-time record of 272, but it was enough to earn him the honor of DP Sports’ Player of the Week.

As impressive as Brooks’ running was, his best play of the game, though, may have

come through the air when he hit freshman David Ryslik with a touchdown jump-pass in the third quarter.

And unfortunately for Brooks, he had an even more impressive play called back. With the clock winding down, Brooks exploded for a 61 yard touchdown run only to see it negated after one of his teammates was flagged for holding. Had the play stood, it would not only have been Brooks’ fifth touchdown of the night, but it also would’ve obliterated the rushing record he came oh so close to breaking.

If there were any doubts about how Penn would replace injured senior running back Tre Solomon, Brooks has assuaged all concerns. In the past two games, Brooks has ran for 410

yards — a program record for back-to-back games.

Brooks has been so dominant that one can only wonder what will happen once Solomon returns. After leading the Ivy League in rushing last year, many expected Solomon to be one of the best players in the conference. Solomon has done nothing to suggest he won’t be his usual self when he returns, so the coaching staff seems to have a good problem on their hands with how they’ll split snaps between the two.

With Ivy League play starting next week against Dartmouth, all eyes will be on Brooks. How he responds should say a lot about who Penn’s lead running back will be for the rest of the season.

dogs with Cornell (5-2, 0-1) and American (7-3) both getting off to impressive starts this season.

Playing against the Big Red in both teams’ Ivy League opener, the Red and Blue were aggressive from the very beginning, needing only ten minutes to take the lead off a goal from sophomore back Alexa Schneck. Even after the early goal, Penn continued to apply heavy pressure. At halftime, the Quakers had recorded eight total shots compared to only two for Cornell.

Penn’s second goal came midway through the second half when junior Rachel Mirkin was able to redirect a shot from senior Alexa Hoover. Even with the two-point cushion, Penn refused to take its foot off the gas, holding Cornell to only seven shots in the shutout.

Sunday’s game at American was a much different story. This time, it was the Eagles who were the more aggressive team, and

it was also the Eagles who were able to get on the board first after just four minutes of play.

“I think the scheme that American had was just to force as many entry balls as possible, and just try to make things happen offensively, so stylistically that’s obviously difficult, but I think we handled it well,” coach Colleen Fink said.

It didn’t take long for the Red and Blue to respond, though. In the 13th minute, Hoover capitalized off a penalty corner to tie the game, and then just a few minutes later, senior midfielder Gina Guccione punched the ball in to break the tie. The score would stay 2-1 in Penn’s favor for the remainder of the half.

After intermission, American was quick to tie things up again when Noor Coenen scored her second goal of the game. Both teams had opportunities as regulation winded down, but neither

team was able to score.

Entering overtime, the Quakers looked to push the issue as they had a player-advantage for the first minute and a half of play.

At one point early on, it looked like Hoover might have been able to break away for a one on one with the goalie, but the referees whistled the play dead and American was able to hold on to get its suspended player back.

The Eagles weren’t able to hold on for much for longer than that, though.

With 13:22 still left in the first overtime period, Hoover secured the Red and Blue victory with her second goal of the game.

“Alexa Hoover, you know, she does what she does best,” Fink said. “She loves a bouncy ball and she loves an untraditional play, and she was able to possess, you know, get the shot off, and you know, put the game away for us.”

Penn football passed its first test of the season

A GOOD OL' FASHIONED SHOOTOUT FOOTBALL | Quakers topple Lehigh scoring most points since 1946 in game with most combined points ever for Penn football WILLIAM SNOW Senior Sports Editor

FOOTBALL

Midterm season is almost upon us, but Penn football had its first true exam on Saturday. And it appears they passed with room to spare.

Penn’s offense looked far more potent against Lehigh than it did in last week’s season opener. Right from the get-go, the Quakers came out with energy and aggression, taking just five plays to march down the field for a score on their first drive of the day.

Much of that ferocity came in the form of sophomore running back Karekin Brooks. In the wake of Tre Solomon’s injury, the second-year back has gotten ample opportunities to prove himself, and he has not wasted them.

In the first half alone, Brooks had runs of 61, 22, and 17 yards, and punched the ball in twice for the Red and Blue.

He was explosive, hitting whatever holes his O-Line gave him quickly and with plenty of speed, and the Mountain Hawks just couldn’t keep up.

He finished the day with a career-high 268 yards — just four yards shy of the program’s single game record — and 4 touchdowns, three rushing and one passing. With Solomon’s return on the horizon, the Quakers have found themselves a deadly two-headed monster in the backfield.

As for quarterback Will Fischer-Colbrie, the senior looked much more poised and confident behind center in his second career start. He stood his ground, stayed composed in the face of pressure, and delivered plenty of strikes throughout the day. He still had a few ugly throws, but he was vastly improved from his first start.

What was perhaps even more encouraging was just how much Fischer-Colbrie spread the ball around. While star wideout Justin Watson was his favorite target, he didn’t rely solely on him. He connected with six different targets, none more than five times (six times if you count Watson’s TD from a backwards pass), on a mix of short passes and long shots downfield. Fischer-Colbrie’s performance showed exactly what Ray Priore saw in him when he named him the starter and provided a lot of hope for the rest of the season.

While the offense might have passed with flying colors, the defense still has plenty of room to improve. They were very inconsistent, going from air-tight to porous on consecutive plays, and they were extremely susceptible to big plays, both on the ground and in the air.

They also didn’t do themselves any favors by committing several unnecessary penalties, and they couldn’t get off the field, as Lehigh had a 58.3% third down conversion rate. But one big area that the defense did not struggle with was winning the turnover battle.

The Quakers forced three turnovers, including a strip sack by junior Nick Miller on the opening possession of the game. And to the offense’s credit, all three ensuing drives resulted in touchdowns.

The defense was also able to get some key stops, highlighted by some crucial sacks. All three sacks derailed what could have been scoring drives for Lehigh, and they also had a goal-line stand that resulted in a turn-

PENN LEHIGH

BETHLEHEM, PA — Well, that was fun.

Penn football toppled Lehigh on Saturday afternoon in a thrilling shootout victory, scoring nine touchdowns en route to its second win of the season, 65-47 — the most the Quakers (2-0) have scored since 1946. The 112 total points scored were the most in a Penn game ever.

Sophomore running back Karekin Brooks stole the show from the onset at Goodman Stadium. In the first half alone, the starter — who filled in for the injured Tre Solomon — ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Brooks’ momentum carried through halftime, however, and he finished the game just four yards shy of the program record for rushing yards in a single game with 268.

However, he did smash the program record for rushing yards in back-toback games with 410.

He averaged an astonishing 9.2 yards per carry, ran for three touchdowns and even threw one himself with a deft jump-pass on the goalline to freshman David Ryslik in the third quarter. But despite his historic showing, Brooks felt he didn’t deserve all the credit.

“It feels good. The offensive line blocked really well for me, shoutout to Tommy Dennis,” Brooks said.

Behind the offensive trident of Brooks, senior quarterback Will Fischer-Colbrie and senior wideout Justin Watson, the Quakers were nothing short of dominant when they had the ball. They punted on just one possessions.

Fischer-Colbrie threw for 235 yards. His favorite target of the day, Watson, put up his usual solid numbers as well — five receptions for 47 yards, as well as a 54-yard rushing touchdown. The offense totaled 615 yards on the day.

Women’s soccer secures crucial 1-0 victory at Harvard to start Ivy play Quakers score early, hold on to lead late KARMAN CHEEMA Contributing Reporter

W. SOCCER PENN HARVARD

1 0

700 days. That was the last time that Harvard women’s soccer, the defending Ivy League champions, lost in league play — until Saturday.

In a game characterized by backand-forth action, the Quakers were able to secure a crucial 1-0 road win in Cambridge to start off their Ivy League campaign, handing Harvard its first loss since October 24, 2015.

Though both sides had their fair share of time in the opposition’s

final third, many chances were neutralized by stalwart defensive play from each team.

“It’s great to get that first win, especially on the road,” Penn coach Van Dyke said. “From a team standpoint, it was nice to validate all the hard work that our girls put in in that non-conference schedule.”

She praised the Quakers (2-5-2, 1-0 Ivy) for playing “fearlessly” and stressed the need to treat each game with the same attention and respect, in a campaign that is determined solely by league games and not by playoffs.

The Crimson (6-4, 0-1) controlled the tempo early on, but everything changed with fifteen minutes left in the first half. In a moment of brilliance, junior defender Camillia Nwokedi perfectly weighted a pass into the corner of the box onto sophomore forward

Emma Loving’s run. Loving fired the ball across the face of the goal and accomplished what no one had done for 365 consecutive minutes — score on Harvard’s keeper Danielle Etzel.

It was the culmination of an improvement in their play in the final third, after what was a frustrating few weeks for the Red and Blue, scoring just two goals in their previous four games.

As the game progressed, the Quakers’ defensive line was able to thwart all of Harvard’s opportunities, especially some dangerous runs from Harvard’s freshman forward Murphy Agnew. Penn’s sophomore goalkeeper Kitty Qu made some key saves off of Crimson set pieces to secure the clean sheet.

“The defensive effort was huge,” Loving said. “We really focused on winning our individual defensive

The squad finally has momentum — after two straight losses

heading into conference play — before Friday’s match at Rhodes Field against Cornell.
