The University’s endowment delivered a “phenomenal return” this year of 12.9 percent, Penn Vice President for Finance and Treasurer MaryFrances McCourt told Penn President Amy Gutmann and the rest of Board of Trustees at its meeting Thursday. This high return, McCourt said, is unique among peer institutions that have not experienced such growth.

FISCAL YEAR

The total value of the endowment rose to $13.8 billion, according to data supplied by Bloomberg. This increase came after Penn’s 14.3 percent return from the previous fiscal year. “Especially in this stressed environment for higher education, they’re not seeing that across the industry,” McCourt said. “So we really stick out.” The Board of Trustees meeting revealed the endowment’s distribution: instruction represented 54 percent, financial aid was 22 percent, health care was

16 percent, other academic support was 4 percent, research was 3 percent, and libraries was 1 percent. McCourt said Penn’s undergraduate endowment topped $1 billion this year, which she greeted as “a really great story.” Penn’s returns surpassed the 9.2 percent median return of university endowments larger than $1 billion, according to statistics the Wall Street Journal reported Sept. 28. For comparison, Harvard University gained 10 percent in returns and Dartmouth College gained

12.2 percent. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, however, outcompetes Penn with a 13.5 percent endowment return. Wharton professor Robert Stambaugh said even though Penn’s returns dropped from 14.3 percent last year to 12.9 percent this fiscal year, the difference is not significant since there are often year-to-year variaSEE ENDOWMENT PAGE 9

NEC clears two candidates of campaign violation charges

Prof. Amy Wax weighs in on Kavanaugh allegations

Both were subsequently elected to their positions

She described the claims as “stale” and “unfair”

JULIA KLAYMAN Staff Reporter

Following a nine-hour hearing, the Nominations and Elections Committee cleared two candidates of all charges relating to alleged campaign violations and were elected to their respective posts. The NEC charged Wharton freshmen Sarah Zhou and Sameer Khan with violating Penn’s Fair Practices Code on Wednesday. After being cleared, the two were announced by the NEC to have won their respective races. Zhou will serve as the Vice President of Finance for Class Board 2022 and Khan will serve as the Wharton Chair. NEC Grievance Officer and College junior Lucas Weiner, also a Daily Pennsylvanian staffer, charged the two candidates with looking at a voter’s ballot and with persuading students to vote a certain way during an election. Both candidates faced identical charges. Zhou and Khan campaigned together for Class Board 2022. Chair of the NEC and College senior Stephen Imburgia, former Daily Pennsylvanian staffer, said most of the trial evidence against the two were the same. The trial was slated to take place in Huntsman Hall with results announced by 5 p.m. Deliberations, however, lasted longer than ex-

pected, and the NEC moved to the Penn Women’s Center at around 6 p.m. to continue its discussion for another hour. In 2016, the NEC held a a Fair Practice Code hearing for candidates running for Class Board President. While that lasted about seven hours, today’s trial lasted nine hours. “I’m really, really proud of how professional the NEC was throughout our deliberations process,” Imburgia said. “I think that it was really important to stress that the people that we are considering are our peers and that at the end of the day, we’re all Penn students.” The trial included witnesses for the prosecution and the defense, and it largely centered on a video recorded by NEC member and Wharton freshman Connor Gibson. The footage shows Zhou and Khan knocking on a freshman’s dorm door. The two told the room resident that they were running together and Khan instructed the resident on how to vote for Zhou. The video depicts this interaction and continues, showing Zhou

crossing the hall to be on the other side of the laptop while the student votes. The prosecution argued that Khan, acting as a surrogate for Zhou, illegally looked at the voter’s ballot. Witnesses said during the trial that, after recording the video, Gibson spoke with the resident of that room and College freshman Anthony Rovito — both of whom lived on that same hall — and allegedly asked them if the candidates had looked at their ballots while voting. Both students said yes. Rotivo also said that when Zhou and Khan knocked on his door, they gave him a cookie, asked him to vote, and set up the ballot for him. Weiner argued that Zhou used the cookie to persuade Rovito to vote for her, a move which is not allowed under the FPC. He also noted that if either candidate looked at the ballot, it would be an automatic disqualification under FPC guidelines. Six witnesses spoke on Zhou’s SEE FAIR PRACTICES PAGE 8

Penn Law professor Amy Wax, notorious for making controversial comments that have attracted national attention, has weighed in on the sexual assault allegations levied against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In an online video entitled “Affirmative Action, Kavanaugh, and #MeToo,” Wax characterized Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations of sexual assault against the conservative judge as “stale” and “not fair.” “I think it violates principles of basic fair play for her to be bringing this up. I think she should have held her tongue — if I were her, I would have. I think basic dignity and fairness dictates that, you know, it’s too late, Ms. Ford, even if there would have been consequences to bitching about it at the time. So there’s that,” Wax said in a virtual discussion published Thursday on Youtube. That same day Ford and Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in a contentious hearing. Ford, a Palo Alto University professor who earned her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, reiterated her claims that

Wax explained her perspective to Brown University Professor Glenn Loury as a part of his online discussion series “The Glenn Show.”

Kavanaugh attempted to rape her at a high school party in the 1980s. Kavanaugh maintained his unequivocal denial of the allegations. President Donald Trump nominated Kavanuagh after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement in June. In the past two weeks, three women have come forward levying allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against Kavanaugh. Wax explained her perspective in an digital talk with Brown University professor Glenn Loury as a part of his online discussion series, “The Glenn Show.” Wax also questioned punishing Kavanaugh for a “momentary act of recklessness” that allegedly occurred when he was a teenager and suggested Ford was exaggerating her traumatic

responses in order to disrupt his nomination process. “But even if he did it, 17 years old, we now are saying that a man is going to pay for the rest of his life for a momentary act of, you know, recklessness, which … didn’t create any permanent harm, except through this manufactured idea that this is such a horrible, traumatic thing,” Wax said, adding,”His whole life now is ruined.” “There is no perfect justice,” she continued. Wax criticized the second woman to allege misconduct of any sort, Deborah Ramirez, for coming forward with sexual misconduct accusations against Kavanaugh.

Students compare Penn’s two presidential professors Jeb Bush and Joe Biden both hold the position AVNI KATARIA Staff Reporter

In February 2017, Penn appointed former Vice President and seasoned Democrat Joe Biden as the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Professor of Practice. The University followed this up a year later in September 2018 with the appointment of former Florida Gov. and prominent Republican Jeb Bush as the 2018-19 academic year Presidential Professor of Practice. Hailing from two diverse ends of the political spectrum, both Presidential Professor of Practice appointments were said to have come as attempts to further debate and civil discourse on campus. Yet, the responsibilities of, timeline for, and student reactions to both political leaders have been notably varied. At the time of Bush’s appointment, Provost Wendell Pritchett, in an interview with Penn Today, cited the move as complementary to the University’s previous liberal employments.

Political Science professor Dan Hopkins agreed that the opposing political viewpoints of both Bush and Biden would promote bipartisan conversation on campus. “Jeb Bush and Joe Biden have built significant political support for their viewpoints and they’re both exemplars of their party’s views,” Hopkins said. “One of the really important things we can do as a University is to make sure that we’re facilitating conversations on campus among well meaning people. I think having both Jeb Bush and Biden will help us do that.” The roles of the two presidential professors have several similarities — both professors have the same title, will not be teaching any classes, and will spend most of their time off campus. But there are some logistical discrepancies between the two posts. Bush was appointed to be at Penn for one year while Biden was appointed indefinitely; Bush is affiliated with one school while Biden is affiliated with three; finally, Bush is currently only affiliated with Penn while Biden also holds a leadership title at the

University of Delaware. Biden also opened the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. in coordination with the University. Biden holds joint appointments in the Annenberg School for Communication and the School of Arts and Sciences, and a secondary affiliation in the Wharton School. Bush, however, is expected to only have one affiliation with the Andrea Mitchell Center

for the Study of Democracy in the School of Arts and Sciences located in the new Perelman Center for Political Science on 36th and Walnut streets. In addition to their different relationships with Penn, students have also had varied reactions to the announcements of the two political figures. “I definitely don’t think Bush is as popular as Biden,” College sophomore, Penn Democrats

member, and Government and Politics Association member Rachel Steinig said. “I definitely think some students are excited about Bush coming, but most people in my political circles don’t think there was really any hype around it compared to Biden.” She added that this is probably due to the fact that the majority of Penn students align themselves with Democrats rather than Re-

publicans. Yet, for College sophomore James Nycz, the lack of hype on campus around Bush may also be due to the former 2016 presidential hopeful’s political hiatus. Bush served as governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007 and did not run for public office again until 2016. “I think that the reaction to him was very different,” Nycz, who currently serves as marketing chair for the Penn Political Union branch of GPA, said. “I think that he’s also a very different person, he’s been out of the political game for much longer than Biden has, he didn’t have as large of a standing.” For Nycz, though, Bush’s apparent lack of popularity on campus is not reflective of the value of his contributions to the University. “As long as someone meets those criteria of looking forward and looking for shared truth and understanding the ideas that our University stands for, I think that it’s valuable to have that perspective,” Nycz said. “A lot of students recognize that as well and are excited for [Bush and Biden] to come here.”

Fels Institute of Gov. moves forward with high-profile hire The hire did not ease alumni concerns over transparency COURTNEY DAUB Staff Reporter

Penn announced on Sept. 24 that Michael DiBerardinis, the managing director of Philadelphia, will join the Fels Institute of Government faculty in January 2019 as a professor of practice. This comes amid ongoing alumni efforts for Fels to be more transparent about the drastic administrative turnover within Fels and include input from the larger Fels community, including alumni, students, and other stakeholders. Since December 2017, the University has implemented a number of changes to Fels, including ousting the executive director from his role, on-boarding two new faculty directors, and shortening of the full-time Master of Public Administration program. In March, the program also made the controversial decision to pause admissions for the 2018-19 school year. Fels Faculty Director John Lapinski said the new hire demonstrates the Institute’s contin-

himself and pushed his penis in front of her face at a college party. “Her story was so flimsy — it’s beneath attention,” Wax said. “But no, they’re blowing it up into something as if it’s actually happened and it’s true.” Wax previously garnered negative attention the last time she appeared on Loury’s show last fall when she claimed she had never seen a black law student graduate at the top of their class. Following widespread backlash, Penn Law Dean Ted Ruger stated that her claims were false and barred her from teaching manda-

ued dedication to the practical education that defines the Institute. “I think this hire gives [alumni] concrete proof of the direction that we want to take the program,” Lapinski said. He added that the decision to hire DiBeradinis was made internally and independently from alumni concerns. Yet for Fels alumni, who have previously expressed concern over the lack of communication and abrupt announcements, this recent hire does not ease all concerns that the Institute is emphasizing communication with its larger alumni network. On Sept. 19, alumni sent a second letter issuing their complaints, this time to School of Arts and Sciences Dean Steven Fluharty. The first letter was sent to Associate Dean of Social Sciences Rogers Smith in February this year, and it addressed basic concerns alumni had regarding their own lack of involvement in the administrative decisions, as well as that of students and other stakeholders. It called for the creation of a formal line of communication with alumni, the implementa-

tory first-year courses. The controversial professor first rose to national prominence in August 2017 when she co-authored an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer arguing for the return to 1950s American cultural norms. In a subsequent interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian, she praised white bourgeois values as superior. Since then, she has given a number of speeches and published op-eds including one which bashed the lack of “civil discourse” on campus and claimed that Ruger asked her to resign. On Friday, the Senate confirmation vote was delayed after a key swing voter, Sen. Jeff Flake

tion of alumni seats on “steering committees,” and the conduction of surveys to measure alumni opinion. The most recent letter, which alumni say acts as a followup, is more broad. “At the time [of the first letter], I think they met with a couple students,” 2017 graduate Scott Detrow said. “Then they went ahead and axed the entire staff, changed the program, and again there was no communication beforehand.” The decision to pause admissions for the program was made a month after the first letter was sent. The Fels Institute offers a number of programs including a full-time MPA program, which

(R-Ariz.), called on the FBI to investigate the allegations. Now, Kavanaugh’s confirmation hangs in the balance as several key Republican and Democratic senators alike are holding off announcing their votes. Wax said she is unsure if Kavanaugh will be confirmed, but she hopes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will tell senators “we need to balance off the pros and the cons, and on balance, this man is good for us and he’s good for America, and we need to vote for him.” “Here’s my view as a Republican,” Wax said. “I am looking to McConnell to save the day and just say ‘Enough of this. Let’s hold the vote.’”

prepares about 30 students each year for careers in public policy and public service, and an Executive MPA program, which is geared toward professionals with full-time jobs. “Someone with city and state government experience fits the exact kind of mold for Fels,” Detrow said. “But there still hasn’t been interest in having communications with the alumni community. Every step along the way could have been handled better.” Detrow is one of the alumni who signed what is at least the second mass-signed letter sent to the administration calling for greater communication with alumni as the Institute continues to undergo changes. Detrow said while Fluharty responded, he still failed to address specific calls for alumni and community input. Fluharty did not respond to request for comment. “The University experiences I had were practical and grounded in real life,” said 2013 Fels graduate Kristen Frobriger and signee of the second letter. “We felt this might get lost in the transition.”

Lapinksi said these letters to administration represent only a small portion of larger alumni opinion. “It’s always the people that write the letter to the dean that probably get the most attention,” Lapinski said, distinguishing between listening to alumni and giving them an active role in decision-making. “We’ve gotten positive remarks from alumni.” Detrow said that most alumni simply want to feel heard and have their input acknowledged. “We don’t ask them to undo the decisions they just made,”

Detrow said. “If you just set a day where you had an open forum with alumni who wanted to come in and ask questions, I think that would make a lot of people feel better.” Lapinski said he hopes the recent appointment of DiBerardini will improve alumni engagment through the establishment of a mentorship program alongside the new professor. “The reason why [alumni] feel so passionately about the program is because they love Fels,” Lapinski said. “They love the students that come out of Fels.”

s wages stagnate, more and more people are struggling to make ends meet. They are parents, siblings, and friends, and they are living lives increasingly characterized by discontent and fear — fear over whether they can provide their children with food and a future to look forward to. As the largest private employer in Philadelphia, Penn is responsible for the wages of some 31,000 people. While the solutions to solve this problem on a nationwide scale are complex, there is plenty that major institutions such as companies and colleges can do to help. Among educational institutions, Harvard University is leading the way in addressing this problem in its own backyard. In an attempt to bypass its own

wage floors, Harvard outsourced a large percentage of its service labor to outside contractors. This policy stood in place until 2001, when a three-week long protest by students from the Harvard Living Wage Campaign prompted then-Harvard President Neil Rudenstine to ask a committee for recommendations on how to

benefits they would get as direct university employees.” The resulting policy has affected some thousand workers at Harvard, catapulting into the middle class employees from the lowest economic rungs who previously earned the Cambridge, Mass. minimum wage. Martha Bonilla, who was

profiled in the Times, is one of them. She works in a kitchen for Restaurant Associates in Cambridge, a food-service company that is contracted by Harvard Business School. She earns more than $25 an hour, enabling her family and her to live in the middle-class neighborhood of West Roxbury, Mass., vacation in Florida, and pay for her daughter’s college tuition and fees. The federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is an abomination. Many states and cities have responded by adopting their own minimum wage standards, usually ranging from $10 an hour to about $15 an hour. But we should not be under the illusion that anyone can raise a family

on a $10 hourly wage. Even an unmarried adult with no dependents would be hard pressed to live a comfortable life on, say, $12 an hour. Add children to the equation and a grim reality emerges. Even though it would be prudent economics to provide significant wage hikes — increased wages lead to increased tax revenues and higher consumer spending, which in turn boost economic growth — those are hardly the strongest reasons to implement such a policy at Penn. Rather, we ought to do this for a different reason: It is the morally right thing to do. If economic trends and models are any indication, the economic growth that started almost a decade ago will continue, yet real wages for hard-working Americans will barely budge. That is because the economic growth is mostly reaching the wealthiest segments of American society, not the bottom 50 percent of Americans who need it the most. Martha Bonilla is, thanks to Harvard’s wage policies, living the American dream, free from the fears that plague millions of hard-working Americans today. Penn ought to show that it, too, is ready to lead on this front. Adopting a similar policy for the thousands of Penn workers — both direct employees as well as those contracted from outside companies — would empower

MICHAEL A. KESHMIRI our community. Would this cost Penn millions of dollars each year? Absolutely. But, it would be disgraceful for an Ivy League university with a multi-billion-dollar operating budget not to take the moral reins and pay all Penn employees a minimum wage between $20-$25 an hour. This might prompt more educational institutions to follow suit and adopt similar policies. What better way to start a nationwide trend among wealthy institutions and companies than to show that you care about your employees, and to take a moral stand against the shameful inequality we see in this country? Everyone on this campus — from dining hall workers, to professors and administrators — contributes to our university’s success in their own way. It’s time for Penn to recognize that. MICHAEL A.

ary that is an Instagram post or a Snapchat story, where comparing your uploads to other people’s is a natural and expected action, a journal is for your eyes only. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good Instagram post, but when it comes to coping with both the good and the bad aspects of my life, my diary is a better keeper for both. Instagram can harvest some of your favorite moments, but it also disseminates the seeds of other people’s best and happiest times. It doesn’t contain the moments where you feel like you need to cry or scream or just breathe for a little while. If you’re dealing with something extreme in the sense of anxiety or depression, keeping a diary can help catalogue your feelings and emotions in a more coherent way, expelling some of the pressure that accompanies the isolation of mental illness. It’s something easy to control, when you feel out of control.

Friends can help you navigate the emotional rollercoaster that is simply getting through a day. But, at least for me, I know I don’t always want to dump my emotions onto their plates, full already with their personal issues and obstacles. A diary can be a dumping ground for all this toxic waste. It feels inexplicably good to be able to say whatever you want, to curse as much as your sailor’s heart desires, to complain about your teachers, your friends, your mom, yourself even, knowing that it will never even have the opportunity to escape and get back to these people. Unlike a post that can be shared and seen by hundreds, your words are powerfully your own. All you have to do is start. Buy a journal that looks to you a good representation of yourself — be that a bejeweled and sparkly cover, a simple composition book, or a Google Drive document — and just start one day. The entries don’t have to

be long, and they don’t even have to be coherent. I promise you’ll start to see some benefits even beyond feeling a little less stressed. Studies have suggested that keeping a journal can reap all kinds of benefits, from strengthening your emotional intelligence to fortifying your memory and recall ability. Once you get into the habit of plopping down on your bed with your diary in hand instead of your phone, you’ll feel like the day isn’t over until you’ve at least written something down. Unlike other forms of writing, keeping a diary isn’t an obligation, and there’s no punishment for not doing an entry for the day. How many times a day to you get to do something that’s entirely for your own benefit with no risk of personal detriment? Probably never.

Stanford is withholding its admissions rate. The Ivy League shouldn’t do the same. SIMONETTI SAYS | Keeping prospective students in the dark won’t alleviate their anxiety

ollege admissions is a monstrous process. In high school, I spent far too many late nights stalking admissions sites, poring over the statistics my top choice universities published: acceptance rates, SAT/ACT ranges, and the aesthetically pleasing map of how many students from each state were admitted. Then, I’d concoct some convoluted plan to make my life sound more interesting than it actually was in my Common Application. That time would’ve been better spent working on my history essays. Odds are, if you’re reading this, you’ve engaged in the same kind of behavior. On Aug. 30, Stanford University announced that it would be withholding undergraduate application numbers. That means no published acceptance rate, no diversity profile, and no geographic information, as well as other important statistics. After I read about Stanford’s

decision, I tried to put myself in the shoes of my 17-year-old self. Would stripping away all that data from those websites have alleviated my anxiety about college admissions? Absolutely not. It might have even had the opposite effect. Last week, Dean of Penn Admissions Eric Furda said that Penn will not adopt Stanford’s new policy. Harvard University announced that it will not be following in Stanford’s footsteps either. Usually, I’m a critic of the University’s administration, but in this case, Penn and Harvard are making the right choice. The college admissions process is fundamentally flawed. The process is impersonal and anxiety inducing, and also caters to the elite. There’s a reason that New York and California are among the most represented states in Penn’s Class of 2022. Most of the time, the students whose parents can afford tutors and college coaches and don’t have to worry about paying

upwards of $70,000 a year for school are the ones who succeed in the process. That’s not to say that the University isn’t trying. Penn President Amy Gutmann has made a concerted effort to accept more first-generation college students, and the Admissions Office maintains that it is devoted to increasing the University’s diversity. The solution to the many problems that plague the admissions process is not keeping prospective students in the dark. Applicants deserve to know what they’re getting themselves into when they apply to certain colleges. It’s hard to get into an Ivy League school. And statistically speak-

ing, it’s harder to get into Stanford. Students who are applying to these schools know that. So why hide the truth from them?

to apply to Stanford, it’s not because we wish to be known as a most competitive university with a low admit rate,” said

It’s hard to get into an Ivy League school. And statistically speaking, it’s harder to get into Stanford. Students who are applying to these schools know that. So why hide the truth from them? ” “We want students to know that when we encourage them

Stanford Provost Persis Drell. “It is because we want promis-

ing students of all backgrounds to seriously consider the educational opportunities and possibilities at Stanford.” Although Stanford’s objective to promote a focus on the educational opportunities available, rather than its selectivity, is admirable, it is unrealistic. A lot of people applying to schools like Stanford are, in fact, hunting for prestige. Studies show that numerous students rely on U.S. News and World Report rankings to guide their college choices. In other words, removing one indicator of a University’s status will not take away the weight of others. It’s no surprise that students applying to elite universities are status-conscious. But there are more important problems that exist within the realm of college admissions: its stressinducing nature, classism, and lack of diversity to name a few. Instead of drawing attention to acceptance rates, it’s time for prestigious institutions like Stanford to address the bigger issues.

Penn adopts new online financial aid cost calculator It aims to accurately predict aid packages for students SETH SCHUSTER Staff Reporter

Penn joined a wave of U.S. colleges and universities to adopt MyinTuition, an easy-to-use financial aid cost-calculator aimed to accurately predict financial aid packages for prospective students, using a simple three-minute questionnaire. Penn had been eyeing the application for over a year, when University Director of Financial Aid Elaine Papas Varas said that she was interested in bringing MyinTuition to Penn. Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to adopt the calculator marks the recent of several steps to use technology to make the financial aid experience easier for students.

The online calculator had already been adopted by 31 institutions, but last week 16 new schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Penn, Harvard, Vanderbilt, and University of Chicago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; followed suit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things we were hearing from most of our applicant pool was that what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to do in the past was very complicated, very lengthy,â&#x20AC;? Papas Varas said. She added that students have said their estimated financial aid package was not â&#x20AC;&#x153;very close to what they experienced when they got here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, we said to ourselves we need something that is going to get them closer,â&#x20AC;? she said. The accuracy to which MyinTuition predicts the amount of financial aid a student would receive may help increase the accessibility of applying to college,

Papas Varas added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives them a pretty darn close estimate of what the cost of school is going to be,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is definitely going to increase accessibility for students and the opportunity to fill something out.â&#x20AC;? Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption of MyIntuition signals an ongoing modernization of the financial aid application process. In July, Federal Student Aid announced the release of a new mobile app â&#x20AC;&#x201C; called myStudentAid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is intended to make filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form easier. Designed to improve the experience of completing the FAFSA form on mobile devices, FSA said that along with an updated website, students and families would have an easier time applying for

financial aid on whichever device they prefer. In the past, FAFSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion rates have been notoriously low. Only 60 percent of high school seniors complete the application, and one out of seven college students eligible for financial aid do not complete the application. Wharton sophomore Cyrus Shanehsaz, who filled out his FAFSA form on his own, recalls looking at various numbers and financial figures without knowing what they meant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I called my dad, and luckily he knew, but I can imagine for a lot of people completion rates are super low because they start and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is way too long and way to complicated, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing this,â&#x20AC;? Shanehsaz said. He added that the length and complexity of FAFSA was not the only obstacle in applying for financial aid, citing the various other supplements needed to apply to Penn.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think by the end of my financial aid application, I had filled out like seven different forms on seven different websites,â&#x20AC;? Shanehsaz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FAFSA was particularly annoying, but I just sat down and cranked it out over a couple of days.â&#x20AC;? Papas Varas said she believes that myStudentAid will open doors previously closed to various groups of students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your phone it becomes more friendly, it becomes less threatening, and it becomes easier to follow,â&#x20AC;? Papas Varas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, I do believe it is going to significantly increase the number of students who are filling out the form.â&#x20AC;? The new app may help to increase diversity on college campuses as well. Penn Dean of Admission Eric Furda said that he believes increased completion rate will correlate with increased diversity on college campuses. Papas Varas said she agreed. Although the interface is

changing, the roughly 130-question length of the FAFSA form is destined to remain the same. The trend doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop with the government-created app. 2014 Wharton graduate Charlie Javice founded the app Frank in 2016, and since then, the startup has helped approximately 300,000 students who use the app collect a total of $7 billion in financial aid. A student-designed, customerfriendly interface, Frank helps students complete the dense FAFSA forms. Beyond that, Frank can also help families estimate the cost of college after grant and aid awards, as well as help them determine post-aid costs and benefits of attending a certain school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something like 90% of all college students are eligible [for financial aid,]â&#x20AC;? Javice told Forbes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But almost half of all students, about 47%, never even complete the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so complicated. With Frank, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple, free and it only takes four minutes.â&#x20AC;?

College sophomore Valentina Losada, who is the chair of Latin American Affairs in Wharton Latino, said the event aimed to raise awareness of issues that otherwise have little relevance in the Penn community. The club President AntĂa Vazquez, who is a College and Wharton senior, said she agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By having these conversations you not only better inform people about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in these regions but you also build awareness of and solidarity with those who are suffering,â&#x20AC;? Vazquez said. The Venezuelan students overviewed the history and current political unrest in the country, detailing the rise to power of Hugo ChĂĄvez and current state of conflict stemming from policies of President NicolĂĄs Maduro. Nestares described her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement with RCTV International, a subsidiary of Radio Caracas Television, which she said resulted in her family members â&#x20AC;&#x153;being persecuted for telling the truth.â&#x20AC;? She recounted her cousin was kidnapped by the armed forces during a protest, and after negotiating for his release, he came home with two broken ribs. Nestares also described an incident when she and her brother were stopped at a police checkpoint and the police beat her brother, even after paying the bribe for a safe release. Herdan, too, described his family fleeing the country in six days

Five Penn students shared accounts at the Perry World House of their familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggles living as victims of political repression in Venezuela and Nicaragua. Many of the students had families who played roles in resisting the government, and the students spoke about the repercussions their families face to this day. The event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Testimonios: Voices in Solidarity Against State Repression,â&#x20AC;? was co-sponsored by the Latin American and Latino Studies program and by Wharton Latino and took place at the Perry World House Friday. Among the speakers were Engineering senior Andre Rappaccioli, Wharton junior Eugenia Carmona Aristeguieta, College sophomore Jimena Nestares, and College sophomore Leon Herdan. Rappaccioli, born and raised in Managua, Nicaragua, discussed the crisis in Nicaragua, while the remaining speakers, all born and raised in Venezuela, spoke about the Venezuelan unrest. The eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speakers shared similar sentiments of hoping the event raised awareness of government repression and political unrest in Nicaragua and Venezuela. Herdan explained that the event aimed to personalize the stories seen on the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more impactful to connect

MITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dropped from 14.3 percent last year to 13.5 percent this year, and Dartmouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to 12.2 percent from 14.6 percent returns last fiscal year. Wharton professor Chris Geczy noted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as straightforward as it might seem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to distinguish 10 percent from 12.9 percent,â&#x20AC;? statistically, he said. Stambaugh said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to determine how Penn compares to its peer institutions because not all institutions have yet released information on their endowments for the fiscal year 2018. Still, however, he added that he believes Penn is among the universities at the top of the crosssectional distribution of endowment returns. Geczy said that universitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

As the discussion turned to Nicaragua, Rappaccioli summarized the history of the Nicaraguan government. The unrest began in April 2018 as the government amended the Institute for Social Security to provide less funds to those who once benefitted from the policy due to a budget deficit. He additionally cited the 512 killed and 4000 injured during the rise in protest between April and September.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play against Dartmouth raised more questions than answers

FOOTBALL | Quakers bested at the line of scrimmage JONATHAN POLLACK Senior Sports Editor

Penn footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37-14 loss to Dartmouth was not the opening to Ivy play the team was looking for. The Quakers were dominated on both sides of the ball, as the game got out of hand quickly in the third quarter. Here are three takeaways from the game. The defensive back depth is suddenly a problem One of the strengths of the defense coming in to the season

was that the entire secondary was returning. Led by senior safety and captain Sam Philippi, the Quakers had plenty of experience and familiarity with each other. But Philippi is out indefinitely after suffering a hip injury in the season opener, and senior cornerback Jyron Walker did not return against Dartmouth after getting helped off the field in the first quarter. Those injuries have forced the rest of the group to step up, which they have done to mixed results. Junior free safety Jacob Martin is second on the team with 30 tackles and first with two interceptions, freshman corner-

back Mohammed Diatke leads the team with two pass breakups, and six other players have recorded a breakup. But the secondary got torched for 224 passing yards and three touchdowns against Dartmouth. If the Quakers have any chance at rebounding in Ivy play, they need more consistent play from their defensive backs. The lines might not be as good as we thought Through the first two weeks, both Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive and defensive lines had played nearly perfect football. Buoyed by a formidable front three, the defense had racked up 17 sacks, while the offense had yet to give one up.

The defense was providing constant pressure, while the offense was giving sophomore quarterback Ryan Glover time to throw and junior running back Karekin Brooks room to run. But that all changed this week. Dartmouth bullied the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lines on both sides of the ball. Brooks struggled to find space, rushing just 11 times for 41 yards. Penn also allowed its first sack, and Glover was frequently forced to scramble out of the pocket. On the other side of the ball, Dartmouth punished the Quakers early on in the run game, and sophomore quarterback Derek Kyler was only hit

once all day. Part of it might have been Dartmouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lines playing well, but part of it might be the Quakers built up unrealistic expectations while feasting on lesser competition earlier in the year. We still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about this team I wrote a column before the season began about how this year was going to be full of discovery for Penn football. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now three weeks into the season, and I still feel like I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything for certain about this team. They have a quarterback in Glover who has shown flashes of brilliance, but also is wildly inconsistent and has been care-

less with the ball. They have a running back in Brooks who has proven to be a dynamic threat, but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the same level of success against Ivy teams as he has against non-conference opponents. And no one has emerged yet at wide receiver as an option for Glover to consistently trust. The defense has even more question marks. Are they the team that recorded 17 sacks and let up just 27 points in two weeks? Or the one that let Dartmouth put up 37 points and accumulate over 400 yards of offense? I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a few more weeks until we find out.

Offensive struggles continue as Quakers fall to Cornell in double OT M. SOCCER | Penn has not scored in four straight games KRISSY KOWALSKI Contributing Reporter

Over 230 miles separate Penn and Cornell, but in a conference clash in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer on Saturday, the two schools felt way closer. The Quakers came into the game not allowing an opponent to

score in their last two games. They hoped to keep this streak alive, but sometimes the game doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as planned. The Red and Blue lost their second game this season and first in

Senior goalkeeper Scott Forbes made a career-high 11 saves and kept Cornell scoreless for 102 minutes before the Big Red scored the winner.

career best. One of his many saves of the day came in the 38th minute of the game when he dove out of the cage to make three back-to-back-to-back saves to keep the game scoreless. The defensive unit as a whole played well, as they forced many Cornell players to shoot wide or to not be able to get a shot off. In the 94th minute Cornell was awarded a corner but Penn was able to clear the ball away with a

header from Momoh. In the 103rd minute, the Big Red had a corner kick, and the ball banged around near the goal until it reached Eneli at the top of the box. He then fired a low shot at the right corner of the goal to put it past Forbes and give Cornell the win. The Quakers will hope to rebound from this loss when they play in conference opponent Columbia on Oct. 6th at home on Rhodes Field.

who bunkers and has a lot of numbers behind the ball, you should be pretty happy,â&#x20AC;? Van Dyke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough conference and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only seven games, so every game is just as important as the last.â&#x20AC;? This Penn team has good reason to be proud about its away victory, and its 7-1-1 start to the year is

the best in program history. While Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence on the scoresheet and stingy defense are certainly reassuring, a lot of soccer remains. The Quakers will look to add to their winning ways next week when they return home to face a Columbia team that is undefeated in Ivy League play.

and it probably could have happened,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were splitting reps all week at practice, and the coaches did a great job having us both ready,â&#x20AC;? Trybus added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like when I came in I could handle the offense pretty well, and just keep the team going in the right direction.â&#x20AC;? Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special teams unit made a crucial play in the fourth quarter with a blocked punt which led to a safety and swung the momentum in Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction. The safety gave Penn a chance with the score at 1924 and six minutes left on the clock. With the ball back in the offenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands, the Quakers were not able to get anything going, and were forced to punt. The Griffins (2-1, 2-0) would then complete a 51-yard touch-

down pass, putting the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chance for a comeback away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could have won the game at the end, but we had so many different times in the game to win,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. The combination of missed opportunities, drive-killing penalties, and another mid-game quarterback change was too much for Penn to overcome, as it was handed its first loss of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still alive, I mean, the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not over,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The season is there in front, we have to learn from all our mistakes and correct the things that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do well in this game.â&#x20AC;? With a bye week next week, the Quakers will hope Jenkins returns and look forward to capitalizing on big opportunities at Army (2-0) after the bye.

The Quakers (2-2-3, 0-1 Ivy) had opportunities throughout the match but were unable to convert. In the 28th minute, sophomore forward Jake Kohlbrenner crossed the ball to sophomore midfielder Joey Bhangdia for a well-placed shot. Cornellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie, Ryan Shellow, came up big and kept the game scoreless. Again in the 73rd minute, senior defender Erumuse Momoh had a chance as he sprinted down the left sideline with the intention of crossing the ball, but yet again Shellow came up big for the Big Red as he intercepted the cross. The Red and Blue were outshot 18-8 in the match but senior goalkeeper Scott Forbes was able to keep Cornell (7-2, 1-0) scoreless for most of the game. Cornell controlled the ball for most of the match, but Forbes proved he was up to the test as he was able to force the game into double overtime. Going into the game on Saturday, Forbes had a .587 goals against average, which ranked 17th in the nation. He was undoubtedly the star for Penn on Saturday, as he came away with 11 saves, a new

Forbes’ career day earns him Player of the Week M. SOCCER | Senior goalie recorded 11 saves in loss WILL DiGRANDE Associate Sports Editor

Having the most saves of your career is a moment to remember, even if the final result isn’t. During Penn men’s soccer’s game against Cornell on Saturday, senior goalkeeper Scott Forbes was forced into action for all 102 minutes of the contest and posted 11 saves, seven of which came in the first half. Despite Forbes’ historic performance, however, the Quakers could not find the net on offense and fell in double overtime 1-0 to the Big Red.

The golden goal from Cornell ended an incredible streak of 392 minutes — over six hours of game time — where Forbes had kept a clean sheet. This game also marks the third in a row in which Forbes has tied or broken his careerhigh number of saves, smashing his old record of seven set last weekend. The Chatham, N.J. native has been essential for the Red and Blue all season, allowing just five goals from seven games — a save percentage of 0.867 — and posting four shutouts, the most of any Ivy League goalie. Forbes also leads the league in saves, with 37, despite playing two fewer games than some of his Ancient Eight counterparts. Even more impressive is that

all but one of the team’s games, including the four shutouts, have gone to overtime, meaning Forbes has played far more than the typical 90 minutes per game between the pipes. One of the more impressive of Forbes’ many saves on Saturday came in the 67th minute, when he leapt to the top right corner of the net to parry a powerful Cornell shot from distance. Forbes also had backto-back saves twice during the game, with both times coming in the first half. Forbes’ consistent dominance on the field has earned him DP Sports Player of the Week, and even if the score might not reflect it, he remains one of Penn soccer’s most valuable players.

Cross country shows depth and improvement in two separate meets Younger runners impressed at Paul Short Invitational KAMRAN ELAHI Contributing Reporter

Penn cross country had itself a busy weekend. The Quakers went back to back this weekend, with some of the men’s team competing at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational in Madison, Wis. on Friday and the rest of the men and women’s team racing the next day at the Paul Short Run in Bethlehem Pa. Penn faced tougher competition this weekend than it has seen this season, with the men’s squad finishing 31st out of 33 teams in Madison. At Paul Short, the Quakers saw better luck, with the women placing 11th and the men placing 28th in the Gold Races. This was the first strong test the Quakers have faced in the season, after winning their first meet on both sides at the Bison

down drive. Junior running back Karekin Brooks punched it in with just a minute and a half left in the half, making it a one-possession game. “You knew it was going to be similar to last year, right?” Priore asked. “It was a big, physical pounding, and you just can’t give up field position the way we did and keep on thinking you’re going to survive.” Any hope of a comeback after halftime was quickly eliminated as the Big Green offense worked quickly to extend their lead on a 59-yard touchdown pass less than two minutes into the half. They continued to move the ball effectively, scoring 21 points in the third quarter. Dartmouth’s offensive line

Open and both teams taking second at the Main Line Invitational. The meets this weekend are much more representative of the competition Penn will face throughout its season. The Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational was a great opportunity for the Quakers’ more senior runners to measure themselves against tough competition — in fact, the Nuttycombe course will be the site of the NCAA Championship in November. Even with the low finish, the results show that the Red and Blue are improving. In particular, senior Sam Webb ran 29 seconds faster than last season, setting a new personal record of 24:39 for the 8K race. “It’s going to be a really big stretch-run to make the NCAA championships, but it was a chance to see for any individuals that could make it and, or if the team would have a really impressive stretch-run and make it, so it was valuable that way,” coach Steve Dolan said.

At Paul Short, many new runners gained experience at a large college meet for the first time. On the men’s side, freshman Ray Sellaro made a statement by finishing second for the Quakers in the Gold Race in 25:53. For the women, freshman Annie Zimmer was a strong asset, finishing third on the team in 22:08 for the 6K Gold Race. “It was an interesting weekend for us in the fact that I don’t think either team was really quite at full speed or full strength,” Dolan said. “We got a lot of good experience and had a number of very good individual performances”. Because of the two meets, the depth of both teams was on display, especially at Paul Short. This is especially impressive and important considering that the women’s team has several key members who are sidelined with injuries. On the men’s side, there was less than a minute between the first and last scoring runners in the Gold Race. For the wom-

dominated Penn’s strong defensive front, creating plenty of running room for ball carriers, including wildcat quarterback Jared Gerbino, who scored the game’s first touchdown. They also prevented Penn from recording a sack. The Big Green offensive line also scored two touchdowns. Aside from the fumble recovery in the first half, sophomore Jake Guidone lined up as an extra blocker at the goal line before flaring out and catching a wide-open touchdown pass as a tight end. Penn’s defensive backs were banged up entering the game, and the depth chart got even thinner after a first quarter injury to senior corner Jyron Walker. Dartmouth quarterback Derek Kyler took advantage in the second half with touchdown passes of 59, 19, and 4 yards. Kyler finished with the same number of incompletions as

touchdowns (three). A late Penn touchdown drive led by junior quarterback Nick Robinson, who played in relief of Glover, was a small consolation prize. The garbage time touchdown was, however, one of the only times the offense looked comfortable. “You can’t lose the faith. It’s a League loss, we all get it, understand it, and we [get] a nice long bus ride home just to make it feel a little worse,” Priore said. “It’ll be a good time to reflect on what we need to do to come back next week strong and regroup.” Penn will get another nonconference tune up against Sacred Heart before resuming Ivy play. The Sacred Heart game represents an opportunity for the Quakers to regroup, regain their confidence and bounce back before the Ivy season begins in earnest.

en’s squad, that gap was less than 30 seconds. The Open Races also showed Penn’s depth. Senior Elias Graca led the Quakers with a time of 26:09 and would have only been three seconds away from scoring in the Gold Race. On the women’s side, Melissa Tanaka was Penn’s top finisher, running 22:04, a time that would have made her Penn’s third runner in the Gold Race. “For some of our younger runners, it was a chance to run against a national caliber field and get a sense of what that level looks like,” Dolan said. “It’s very motivational for their training.” This weekend provided Penn with more opportunities to compete against top-tier programs than they’ve seen all season. There was plenty for the Quakers to learn from these races. But, if the improvements and overall depth the Red and Blue showed was any indication, the best is yet to come.

Quakers start Ivy play 0-1 after deflating loss in Hanover, N.H. THEODOROS PAPAZEKOS Sports Editor

Dartmouth senior running back Rashaad Cooper took the handoff and lunged toward the goal line. Linebacker Nick Miller was there to force a fumble, but Dartmouth offensive line-

man Phil Berton fell on the football in the end zone. Touchdown Big Green. That play put Penn football down 14-0, and almost seemed like a metaphor for the game as a whole. Penn’s defense was there to make the play, but Dartmouth’s offensive line was too good. Behind its lineman on both sides of the ball, Dartmouth methodically dismantled Penn in both teams’ Ivy opener to the tune of 37-14. “The only stat needed to be seen was the stat on the scoreboard at the end of the game. It was a lot to a little, and I give Dartmouth credit — they came out and controlled the ball,” coach Ray Priore said.

Entering the game, statistics indicated the defenses of both teams were among the best in the FCS, let alone the Ivy League. Penn (2-1, 0-1 Ivy) had 17 sacks in just two games, tied for the FCS lead, while Dartmouth (3-0, 1-0) lead the nation in yards allowed. In the first half, the game’s billing as a defensive grind was secure — Dartmouth held Penn to just six first downs and the Quakers kept the Big Green to 13 points. After getting good field position for the first time, sophomore quarterback Ryan Glover led the Quakers on a five-play 48-yard touchSEE FOOTBALL PAGE 11

With its fourth consecutive shutout and seventh of the year, Penn women’s soccer is putting the rest of the Ivy League on notice. In its 2-0 victory, Penn held Cornell to just three shots on goal with the Big Red struggling to break down an organized Quakers’ defense that has now kept a clean sheet for more than 360 minutes. Led by junior goalie Kitty Qu, who earned her program-high 16th career solo shutout, the Red and Blue (7-1-1, 1-0-1 Ivy) stymied each attacking venture from Cornell (1-7-1, 0-2 Ivy), who dropped their seventh game in eight tries. Not only did the Quaker defense continue to play at a high level, but the offense also saw a return to form after last week’s scoreless draw with Harvard. Penn started strong and controlled the run of play throughout the game. Cornell’s senior goalie Meghan Kennedy, who had eight saves on the day, was forced into action multiple times in the first half, but managed to keep the ball out of her own goal for a 0-0 halftime score. “I think we could’ve scored a few in the first [half],” coach Nicole Van Dyke said. “We came

Penn sprint football had its chances. But the one big play Penn was waiting for never came. Instead, the Quakers just suffered penalties and gut-punching missed opportunities. Coming off a huge win against Cornell where the defense and rushing attack played a huge role, the Quakers looked to keep the good times going against divisional rivals in Chestnut Hill. How-

out with a ton of energy and tried to get in behind Cornell.” Nearly 15 minutes into the second period, however, junior midfielder Emily Sands broke the deadlock with a deft flick into Cornell’s net. Junior forward Emma Loving made a strong run down the right side before finding Sands with a low cross from the touchline. “I knew [Loving] was gonna beat her girl, so I just focused on getting there and getting a touch on it,” Sands said. After the opening score, Penn continued to maintain possession, forcing the Big Red to play kickball, launching long passes from their defensive third only to be corralled by the Quaker defenders. The Red and Blue’s consistent pressure and ball movement wore

Cornell down as the game progressed, and the effort came to fruition in the 82nd minute, when senior midfielder Allie Trzaska sealed the win with a strong header. Trzaska rose high above her defenders to meet the long, arcing pass from sophomore left back Jadyn Wilensky before firing the ball into the back of the net to put Penn up 2-0. Both of the Penn’s goals came off of crosses from wide areas, a region of the field the Quakers looked to attack from the beginning. “We really focused on getting in behind them and breaking them down,” Sands said. “[Getting the ball wide] was definitely a focus for today.” While the scoreline and possesSEE W.

ever, the Red and Blue would undergo quite the opposite story, falling to the Griffins 31-26. Throughout the game, Penn (2-1, 1-1 South) was forced to deal with a number of penalties and setbacks, such as in the first quarter, when a bad snap led to a 13-yard loss on third down — even though junior quarterback Reed Connor bounced back to connect with sophomore wide receiver Joshua Trybus for a 50-yard catch. On the next play, senior running back Jake Klaus ran the ball in for a touchdown, tying the game at seven. “When we came together, we had some good drives and we were able to score touchdowns when we were moving the ball,” Trybus said. The passing game was a huge part of the Quakers’ of-

fense, as they passed for a total of 331 yards. Towards the end of the second half, Connor connected with junior wide reciever Billy Murphy for a huge 62-yard gain, putting them in prime position to reach the end zone. However, the drive came to a halt and the Quakers were forced to settle for the field goal. “We just didn’t execute, and when we did make some big plays, we had the flag go … and it went right back,” coach Bill Wagner said. “When you got a penalty, you got to start over, first and 15 instead of first and 10 at midfield.” Penalties were in fact the story of the game, as the Quakers were called for 11 penalties for a total of 133 yards.
