THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
Anti-LGBTQ preachers return, drowned out by Kanye songs One preacher spoke on campus on Sept. 15, prompting student protest DAN SPINELLI City News Editor
The group of Christian preachers who riled campus on Sept. 15 returned again for another hours-long demonstration Monday afternoon on College Green. Chanting barbs against the “homos” as well as Catholics and Jews, four preachers assembled next to the Benjamin Franklin Statue in front of College Hall around noon. Within an hour, they met a fierce, organized resistance from a group of LGBTQ-identifying students, who displayed signs and played songs from Kanye West’s album, “The Life of Pablo.” One preacher, Pastor Aden, had previously spoken on College Green on Sept. 15. He was joined by “JK” and his wife, “Evangelista,” who were new to campus. “We use the shocking parts of the Bible to draw them in. And it works every time,” said JK, who wore a green shirt emblazoned with “Hell is SEE PREACHERS PAGE 2

Arts classes are an escape from Penn pre-professionalism CHERRY ZHI Deputy News Editor

THE CASE FOR AN IVY LEAGUE POSTSEASON
Attending an Ivy League school isn’t often associated with studying fine arts. But at Penn, the Undergraduate Fine Arts program offers students an experience that is both rewarding in itself and can complement
other areas of study. The fine arts program consists of a combination of seminars, art history classes and studio courses that range from ceramics to photography to drawing and painting. The major is a 16-credit program available to students in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the College of Arts and Sciences and the minor is open to students in all schools. Students view these courses as a
means to think in a different, creative way — and many see them as both an escape from the pre-professionalism at Penn as well as a way to enhance other disciplines. The time commitment of the studio classes isn’t to be taken lightly. Each class requires six hours of studio time per week as well as time outside of class to complete projects. College senior Sydney Goldberger is majoring in psychology
and minoring in fine arts and said that “my Fine Arts classes require a larger time commitment than any other course I have taken at Penn … most professors expect six to eight hours of work outside of the classroom.” In order to declare the major, students must take five core studio classes including “Drawing I,” “Sculpture Practices,” SEE FINE ARTS PAGE 3

NextGen Climate encourages Pennsylvania college voters to support candidates for public office with environmental policies.
FOLLOW US @DAILYPENN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES
On Sept. 8, Penn’s chapter of Pi Lambda Phi teamed up with Pennsylvania organization NextGen Climate to educate and encourage students to vote for candidates who support the fight against climate change. According to its website, NextGen Climate is an organization that “acts politically to prevent climate disaster and promote prosperity for every American.” The organization works to encourage young people to vote, in an effort to prevent Donald Trump from winning the election. According to NextGen’s webite, “Younger voters have the power to stop Trump. But only when we vote.” “NextGen Climate is on over 90
campuses in Pennsylvania, registering and educating voters on the importance of voting for candidates who support combating climate change and transitioning to a clean energy economy,” according to an email statement from NextGen. In conjunction with NextGen, Pi Lam organized a DIY rock show featuring several local musicians. The event served as a venue for NextGen to educate young voters about the importance of climate policy. “What Pi Lam helped NextGen do was create a space where they could bring this environmental rhetoric to the young people that are interested,” College sophomore and fraternity member Anton Relin said. “It was all in all a very beneficial event because lots of people got to enjoy their time SEE CLIMATE PAGE 3

Mohammed, Aden chastised another student for dressing like she came from a “prostitution house.” Mohammed said Aden told her that “Your prophet is a pedophile for having married a young woman.” Mohammed didn’t take personal offense to it, though, because “he’s spewing hate on every religion, so it doesn’t really matter.” “He isn’t really looking to have a conversation, an educated conversation,” she said. “He’s just looking to scream and shout.”

“God is a diverse God and welcomes all people regardless of sexual orientation [or] gender identity,” he said. “I’m sorry to see that there are people proclaiming anything less than [a] God who is loving.” The preachers left just before 4 p.m. As they collected their signs and walked away, Aden said, “We’ll be back!” Staff Reporter Jacob Winick and Sports Editor Will Snow contributed reporting.

Lack of meal plan encourages healthy eating
Upperclassmen often do not have meal plans KATHLEEN HARWOOD Staff Reporter
Whether you loved it or you hated it, meal plans during freshman year were convenient, offering constant access to hot, ready meals with just a swipe. And for upperclassmen — many of whom leave the meal plan behind — relying on groceries, cooking and restaurants can cause a real change in lifestyle. “I feel like I eat a lot healthier now that I’m no longer on a meal plan,” said College sophomore Natalie Breuel. “I like to go to

the farmer’s market and the grocery store on the weekends, and then I’ll cook a big batch of something that I can freeze and eat for the rest of the week. It means I don’t have to really think about it throughout the weekday.” The Fresh Grocer and Trader Joe’s are generally priced low. Items like granola bars and produce are much cheaper when bought in bulk at these stores when compared to individual item pricing at on campus stops like Gourmet Grocer and Houston Hall. “I definitely find it so much easier to eat more fruits and vegetables this year,” said Engineering sophomore Kerry
Hollis. “Being vegan while eating at the dining halls is so difficult because the options are so limited. And buying things with dining dollars at overpriced places on campus was frustrating.” Not paying for a dining plan means that much more money in a student’s budget can be devoted to meals eaten out. A meal bought at Sweetgreen, Honeygrow or another popular locale comes out cheaper than the true cost of a meal swipe. Food trucks are inexpensive and fast when there’s little time between classes. “I make my own breakfast and dinner but for lunch I usually go to a food truck,” said Wharton
junior Joe Egan. “Bui’s on 38th and Walnut is my go-to.” Freshmen adjusting to dining dollars and meal swipes have months to decide whether or not to sign up in their next year. Penn students are lucky enough to have access to grocery stores, markets and take-and-go options that make a lifestyle out of dining halls possible. “I got off the meal plan as soon as I could and I recommend it,” said College senior Caroline Garth. “I like to cook for myself, so typically I’ll have grilled chicken, pasta, or salad. And when I really need it there’s always microwave mac n’ cheese. That meal will always be a keeper.”
Many upperclassmen have left meal plans behind, relying instead on groceries, cooking and restaurants.
in your painting,” said Wharton senior and fine arts minor Mindy Zou. For College junior Amy Chen, who is majoring in fine arts, she doesn’t mind the time requirement, saying that “my work is play, so it’s like getting to play six plus hours per week.” Others also view the classes as a cathartic release and enjoy the balance it provides to their curriculum. Wharton sophomore April Huang is taking a digital media design class and says that it “relieves me from the constant stress and tension I get from my business classes.” Zou added that, “Innately, I don’t like that some people at Wharton tend to do things they’re not necessarily passionate about. I find refuge in my
art classes because everyone is passionate. Why else would you be there?” Engineering junior Alison Weiss feels that studios can be an escape from the competitive academic atmosphere of her other classes. For her, art complements her major in mechanical engineering nicely. “There’s a big emphasis on design in many fields a mechanical engineer can pursue, [like] product design and robotics … and having experience with art can definitely be advantageous,” she said. Students also find that the fine arts program naturally enhances other areas of study like marketing and art history, and that studying art at a non-art school like Penn provides more of a multidisciplinary approach. “ T he goa l of t he a r t
department is to produce a well-rounded artist,” said College senior Joyce Hu. “They want an artist who’s studied global economy, music theory … it’s really helpful because art doesn’t exist on its own.” However, while some students hope to leverage art as a competitive edge in the workforce, others have a difficult time reconciling it with the preprofessional culture at Penn. College junior Linda Lin is majoring in art history and minoring in fine arts. This combination allows her to study and research art all while directly experiencing the thought processes and technical procedures behind making art. Lin hopes that her path of study will allow her to develop a future career in promoting other artists through art galleries and
the auction business. “When people choose to study art, it isn’t because they don’t want a job,” Lin said. “Penn can definitely do something to expand the definition of preprofessionalism.” For Chen, she sees her preferred medium tying directly into many practical uses in the professional world and believes that “the great thing about being a designer is that you can really work in any industry since everyone needs design, especially now, as brand identities become more and more important to the success of any business.” However, working in a purely creative context is difficult, Chen feels. “I feel all kinds of pressure to use design as an agent for commercialism rather than
design as a fine art form,” she said, recounting career fairs full of corporate companies and consulting firms as opposed to opportunities in design agencies and ad agencies. But for Engineering and Wharton senior Stephanie Zhu, the experience of studying the fine arts at Penn challenges conventional perspectives and adds to her technical and business studies rather than putting her at odds with the prevailing culture at Penn. “It’s been difficult to actively choose a path in art when I feel like I’m being drawn into more ‘preprofessional’ areas of study or activities due to the school and my classmates,” she said. “But I’ve said this in all my interviews and I will stick adamantly to it — the arts are as essential.”
they said. “Not only have PA Senator Pat Toomey and Donald Trump vowed to serve the interest of corporate polluters over their own constituents, they’ve also stood for a racist, anti-woman, and xenophobic agenda,” NextGen’s email statement read. “NextGen was proud to
host an event with Pi Lam at UPenn, who has a long history of promoting inclusion and acceptance, to talk about the importance of building a future and economy that works for everyone.” Part of NextGen’s advocacy at Pi Lam included handing out anti-Trump material. For-
tunately, according to Relin, there was no backlash in response to these handouts. “I don’t think we attract
those sorts of people,” he said. Relin was also glad that his fraternity was welcoming to an organization like NextGen cli-
mate. “I’m glad that our space allows for these sorts of events to happen,” he said.

When I learned that I had received a scholarship to study at the University of Cambridge this past summer, and consequently would be going to Europe for the first time in my life, I was so excited I couldn’t sit still. Over the remainder of the semester, I made a Google Doc with multiple different headings: “Things to do in Cambridge:” “Things to do in London.” I wrote down all the obvious things to see: Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament. I did endless “best restaurants” and “most fun museums” Google searches. By the time summer rolled around, I was ready and armed with a long list of things to do, eat and see. Technology has transformed traveling. I can sit down at my computer and instantaneously find the opening hours of restaurants in France. I can look at pictures of random streets in Japan on Google Street View. I can find testimonies of all types of travelers relating which restaurants are best, which places have unfriendly staff, which hotels have the
most comfortable beds. In a word, technology has made the world more accessible. Everything it has to offer is right there on your screen. There were many times this summer when technology saved me. If my family and I had not had Siri while driving a stick shift through tiny back roads in France’s countryside, we’d probably still be there, trying to figure out which roundabout to take. But there were also many times when I felt that technology inhibited me: that its very presence was changing — and limiting — the way in which I was interacting with the world. Because it’s all well and good to use Yelp to figure out which restaurants are good in a particular place and which ought to be avoided, but what about the fact that it often leads to standing on the sidewalk for 20 minutes, bemoaning the inconsistency of reviews and trying to figure out which place is really the best? And it’s all well and good to Google “cool nontouristy things to do in London” (which I did on multiple
occasions) but doesn’t that, to some extent, defeat the whole purpose? Cool non-touristy things are, for the most part, found through wandering, through trying out different restaurants and bars and events

They are found through being open — through being willing to have both good experiences and not-so-good ones. What all this Googling and Yelping of “Best Restaurants,” “Coolest Things to Do,” “Top 10 Museums,” really boils down to is our quest to make our experiences as perfect as possible. We want every meal to be the best. Every monument to be the biggest, most
place’s superlatives and set our sights on those. And it is only natural that we should want the best experience possible, whether we’re traveling in a different country or trying to pick a restaurant to go to in Center City on a Friday night. But we also have to remind ourselves that we cannot ensure the perfectness of all of our experiences and that, in fact, so much of the fun in
traveling — and in life — comes from the unexpected, comes from happening across a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves amazing food, comes from going to a random event that leads you to meet someone you wouldn’t have ordinarily, comes from taking walks with no particular destination in mind as opposed to always taking the shortest path between destinations A and B. The thing about the Internet is that it has essentially made the concept of the unexpected an outdated one. It has made most things expected by making them known quantities. We know what we’re going to get before we go. And that’s helpful — it’s reassuring — but it’s also boring. As students in the 21st century, we’re taught to be efficient. And in many ways, our efficiency is made possible by the internet’s instantly accessible resources — which is good, because if there’s anything Penn students need more of, it’s time. We don’t, after all, have time to take walks without purpose; nor can we
EMILY HOEVEN afford to waste time searching city blocks for a restaurant that looks appealing. But then again, how much time did we spend online finding that perfect restaurant in the first place?

For quite some time, I’ve struggled with mental health. That battle has been a personal one, and I’m glad to be in the stable and generally happy position I am now. But as an incoming freshman, the mental health conversation at Penn surprised me. I didn’t even know what “Penn Face” was, but I was already told that I was struggling because of it. What seemed to me to be deeply personal experiences with anxiety and depression, self-image and self-esteem were apparently broad cultural ones that could be painted over with a brush 10,000 students wide. Apparently Penn was a pressure cooker, with a ubiquitous, inescapable culture. The conversation wasn’t about individual problems, it was about institutional problems, focusing on solutions that could be applied by every student ubiquitously. Apparently, our masks were not our own, they were shared by all, with the same Quaker mascot and university crest on each. I think this trend is a dangerous one for a couple of
reasons. First, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. University culture isn’t something that a shady council of elders distributes to students in black envelopes. All Penn culture consists of is what we do on a day-to-day basis. A lot of the choices we make, particularly under significant emotional duress, have less to do with rational self-improvement and more to do with following perceived expectations, the internalized list we form of acceptable actions we can take within our culture. This makes generalizations like Penn Face troubling, particularly when we impose them on new students who haven’t had the chance to live a Penn experience for themselves, and to a certain extent, craft their own culture. The problem runs deeper than that. The “Penn Face” epidemic takes hundreds of deeply personal problems and turns them into a single homogeneous, institutional one. Of course everyone has trouble opening up about mental health, trauma and tragedy. That’s called stigma,
and it’s such a common idea that it’s practically become a buzzword in the world of mental health and neurodiversity activism. But the actual problems that people face are unique and personal, and
part of it, but not the bulk of it. While my problems were surprisingly common, they weren’t an epidemic like the swine flu, a single virus with a single cause and a single vaccine. Like all mental
The ‘Penn Face’ epidemic takes hundreds of deeply personal problems and turns them into a single homogeneous, institutional one. ” their reservations about opening up and seeking help have more to do with the nature of those problems than the name that happens to be on their college hoodies. When I struggled in silence, it was due to a complex of shame that was related to my mental conditions and personal experiences, not because my high school was a little uptight. Culture was a
health struggles, they were my own. I believe this trend can be dangerous. When we use the phrase “Penn Face”, we implicitly tell struggling, vulnerable freshmen that their problems are institutional, which can cause them to feel like a face lost in a crowd. It strikes me as a surprisingly common fear that I’ve encountered in those that struggle with de-
pression and anxiety: that everyone has the same problems that they have, and when they fail, it’s because of personal weakness. Of course, we’re not saying that directly when we talk about Penn Face, but it’s a message that does come through when we fail to treat people like individuals. I understand that the proliferation of this idea comes from an altruistic place. When we see our friends and loved ones struggling in silence, we want to do everything we can to help. Before we can do that, we have to try to understand them. And mental health problems are pretty damn hard to understand when you haven’t experienced them yourself. How can you empathize with someone in a mental state that you’ve never experienced? How can you rationalize behavior that is, by definition, irrational? It’s challenging, and it’s attractive to look to the simplest available answers. But in the end, that’s not enough. I’m not advocating for some kind of ban on the phrase “Penn Face”, and I’m
AARON COOPER not even saying there isn’t some basic truth to it. But what I am saying is that we have to go deeper than that if we want to reach out and help our friends in this community. When someone struggles with mental health, we have to treat them like individuals, not institutional symptoms. These questions never have answers that are simple or easy. But they’re answers we have to try to find. The stakes are too high. AARON COOPER is a College freshman from Morristown, N J, s tu d y ing c o g ni t i ve science.

Students examine gentrification of West Phila.
The event was organized by PAGE and the Civic House MICHEL LIU Contributing Reporter
It is easy to settle in the comfort of Locust Walk, but some lessons are better learned off campus. The Penn Association for Gender Equity and the Civic House hosted a walking tour through West Philadelphia on Friday, as well as a follow-up discussion. Attendees ventured down Baltimore Avenue and Lancaster Avenue to witness gentrification in West Philadelphia first-hand. Gentrification is defined as the renovation of deteriorated urban neighborhoods by the inf lux of more aff luent residents. Communities’ property values increase as a result, but gentrification often displaces low-income families and small businesses. Gentrification explains the jarring juxtaposition between upscale stores catered
to college kids and hollowed local shops and closed schools throughout West Philadelphia. “There’s not a lot of understa nding on how West Philadelphia and Penn are in many ways interdependent. Actions taken by the University impact the West Philadelphia community,” PAGE Education Chair and College senior Julia Slater said. The walking tour sought to examine Philadelphia’s gentrification in a hands-on and direct experience. “With only discussion, we still don’t know West Philadelphia’s r ich histor y and community, and how it can take care of itself,” PAGE Constituent Affairs Chair and College sophomore Jamie Ye said. With this goal in mind, PAGE supplied guided questions during the walk — asking pa r ticipants to note green spaces, health services schools and more. The tour groups convened in the Paul Robeson House, the home of an
influential African-American figure who grew up in West Philadelphia. St udent s d iscusse d t he walk and organized a timeline, outlining the origins of West Philadelphia and Penn’s contribution to its gentrification. Subsequent discussion touched on how Penn students themselves often benefit from West Philadelphia’s gentrification, and members said staying informed about the issue and spreading it is critical. “You don’t have to go out on long walks really far off campus,” Ye said. “But you can attend events like this and do your own research about what is the history of how Penn got here, and how we obtained this land.” Professors and community experts — including a robust Urban Studies program — can help students educate themselves further, she added. PAGE also noted intersections between gender issues and gentrification issues. “I think gentrification is

Megan Yan, PAGE chair and College and Wharton senior who is also the former business manager of The Daily Pennsylvanian, emphasized that an event doesn’t have to be solely focused on women to be within the organization’s interests. “These movements don’t exist in isolation; they have to tie together,” she said. “Our mission and the work that we do can’t just be about only

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM was such a meaningful eight years at Penn and it really shaped me into the coach I am today.” No matter who deserves the credit, it is indisputable that at this very moment in D-I college
soccer (and Major League Soccer as well), there are a total of four former Penn assistants that worked under the tutelage of Rudy Fuller. It seems hard to imagine that he had nothing to do with that.

Now in his 19th year with Penn men’s soccer, Rudy Fuller has worked to cultivate a strong tree of assistants, and his work has borne fruit that includes the head coaches at La Salle and Florida Gulf Coast.

business, and I think having good relationships with people allows me to coach those three, build a great relationship and the trust factor. ... I think we built something special with the people there and I’d like to think that we’re translating good people to this program.” McLaughlin became the fastest coach in NCAA history to win 400 games in 2009, requiring only 459 contests to reach the milestone. In 170 conference games during his tenure, McLaughlin won 167 — never losing more than a single CACC contest in a season. While McLaughlin was at Holy Family, the Tigers made the transition from the NAIA to NCAA Division II. In seven of the eight years
Holy Family was an NAIA school under McLaughlin, the squad qualified for the postseason tournament. Following the move to D-II, the Tigers found themselves in the postseason all six seasons, including a regional final appearance in 2008. Fol lowi ng t he 20 08 - 0 9 season, McLaughlin made the crosstown move to University City and has since put together the most successful five-year stretch in program history — including two Ivy League titles, a WNIT appearance, an Ivy League Coach of the Year award, two Ivy League Players of the Year, three Ivy League Rookies of the Year and the program’s first-ever Big 5 title. The Quakers will begin their defense of the 2015-16 Ivy League title on Nov. 13 when they play Duke at Cameron
Indoor Stadium. They will open Ivy play on Jan. 7 at Princeton. Three other inductees will enter the CACC Hall of Fame throughout the school year, with individual schools holding their own ceremonies. “I think it’s really exciting to go back up there and share this with my former players that I’ve coached — it’s exciting, it really is,” McLaughlin said. “When I got the call that I was going to be recognized, it brought back some great memories of that university, my coaching career and the relationships that I’ve built. I think that it’s going to be good to get everyone back together again.” The date for McLaughlin’s induction has not yet been formally announced but has been tentatively slated for the Tigers’ matchup against West Chester on Dec. 18.

Quakers in strong position into the heart of Ivies FIELD HOCKEY | Penn
will need to fight for title WILL AGATHIS Associate Sports Editor
The season is only halfway done for Penn field hockey, but already we have seen records broken, overtime thrillers and major positional changes. The hype that built around the program last year is continuing to grow as the 2016 season wears on. That budding exposure is well-earned for a program that plays the NCAA’s top-ranked teams and features a nationally acclaimed goal-scorer. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for the Quakers (6-3, 1-1 Ivy), with a lineup that is replete with talent from top to bottom. Junior Liz Mata — the Red and Blue’s starting goalie for the past 25 games — has succeeded over the past two years behind a varying supporting cast on defense and continues to accumulate wins for the Red and
Blue, with a 19-6 record to boot. The defense, mostly young, has delivered and grown together quickly with two new starters this year. They have allowed just nine goals in their last five games and were able to hold two Ivy opponents to a combined three points. Sophomore Paige Meily is now leading at center back after splitting time between back and midfield in her freshman season. She traded her midfield spot with senior captain Claire Kneizys, the team’s former top defender. On each side of Meily are juniors and returning starters in Madison Hendry — who started in her freshman campaign before missing all of 2015 with injury — and Jasmine Li, who started in all 16 of the Quakers’ games last year. The midfield, despite missing two starters from last year, is improving and able to drive play on offense. One major development at that positional group has been the play of Rachel Huang. After stints in 2015 at
both attack and midfield, the junior has mostly stayed at the latter position this season with success. Her four goals and 10 points are second on the team and both totals are already an improvement over last season’s performance. Expectations are high for a midfield corps that features both of the team’s captains, with captain Elise Tilton on pace to cap off her Red and Blue career with her best goal-scoring season. Meanwhile, Kneizys, the team’s other captain, is new to the midfield but is already performing well. Positioned at the top of the field, the attack needs little introduction. The team’s offense has not had the same success as last year in goals per game — 2.44 in 2016 versus a robust 3.38 the prior season — but unlike previous years, this program is seeing goals scored from everyone. In fact, only once in coach Colleen Fink’s seven years with the team have there been at least four players with six or

more goals. This year, there are four players on pace for eight or more: juniors Alexa Hoover, Gina Guccione and Rachel Huang and sophomore Sofia Palacios. That type of production is unprecedented for this squad and has created matchup nightmares for opponents. But perhaps most noteworthy of this team compared to their Ivy League counterparts is their tenacity. In nine games this season, the Quakers have not once lost the lead and have erased two-goal deficits to force overtime on two different occasions, in a winning effort against St. Joe’s and more recently in a double-overtime heartbreaker against Harvard on Sunday. The team’s never-say-die attitude and mantra, “Our Way,” has carried the Red and Blue on the field through thick and thin. And as long as they can keep that tenacity and fight alive, they have the talent to unseat Princeton and all their Ancient Eight foes in the quest for an Ivy League title.

combined 21 rowing teams across the Ivy League and every single Ivy track and field program. And it’s not like these student-athletes are getting crushed academically. 22 members of Penn’s three rowing teams were Academic All-Americans in 2016, including Rhodes Scholar Jenna Hebert. Four Penn women’s lacrosse players made the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll, while 11 track and field Quakers earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors, including 2016 CoSIDA second team Academic All-American Sam Mattis. Additionally, it should actually be easier for football players to handle in-season exams based on scheduling; nearly every single game of the FCS bracket takes place on Saturday, when it’s highly unlikely for an exam to be scheduled. No other sport can make that claim. So if your primary argument against joining the playoff is the fact that the tournament interferes with final exams, then you literally cannot justify the Ancient Eight’s participation in postseason baseball, lacrosse, track and field and the other sports that directly contradict this philosophy. Yet another occasionally reoccurring argument against joining the playoff is that of player health – briefly, more games means more injury risk. But while conversations about the safety of the sport of football are generally justified, consider the Ivy League’s innovation in working to make the game safe. This season, the league became the first in NCAA history to institute a ban on full tackling during regular season practices, it moved kickoffs up to the 40 yard line in conference
play in order to increase touchbacks and subsequently reduce concussions, it is a part of the Ivy League-Big Ten Consortium looking into minimizing concussions and Penn itself has been a part of an ongoing Department of Defense study on the effects of concussions on athletes. The Ivy League can’t have it both ways. If the athletic directors believe they have taken steps to make the game safe for players, there is little reason to forsake an opportunity to promote that work on a national stage. And if a team did see itself as so banged up at the end of the regular season that it would be ill-advised to participate in the playoffs, it would reserve the right to withdraw from the bracket before it even starts. (Do I envision a group of Division I coaches and players willingly admitting that they wouldn’t be competitive in a postseason game? No, but they ultimately deserve that right.) What about the benefits to joining the tournament? The biggest one would simply be the opportunity to compete against the best. Winning championships is the ultimate goal for any athlete, and being the best out of 125 teams is a much more impressive claim than being the best out of eight. And coming up short of a national title doesn’t mean the ride can’t be memorable — try to tell Penn basketball coach Steve Donahue that his 2010 Sweet 16 run with Cornell was meaningless. But beyond the obvious excitement of the playoffs, the regular season would also change for the better. In 2015, Harvard and Dartmouth won

their non-conference games by a combined score of 242 to 34 — why schedule strong teams when your resume doesn’t matter? Allow the Ivy League in the postseason, though, and you probably see more non-league games like Penn’s 2015 thriller against Fordham. Conference play easily would become more exciting too, considering the extra intensity of fighting for a playoff spot. The playoff would boost student interest — remember the vibe when Penn students piled into the Palestra to watch women’s basketball “Selection Monday� live on ESPN? Why not re-create that in the fall season when the opportunity is right in front of you? Recruitment would improve as well when adding the opportunity to compete for a national championship to the already existing perks to joining the Ivy League. It’s clear that the Ivy League respects its customs, but there’s a line between respectfully paying homage to tradition and stubbornly refusing beneficial change, and the presidents are firmly on the wrong side of that line. They know the euphoria that a successful football team can bring to a school. They saw Penn’s student section and football team dance together on the Franklin Field turf on that magical November afternoon when Penn clinched the league title last year. Now let us dance on the big stage.

THE CASE FOR AN IVY POSTSEASON
T
he preseason hype surrounding Penn football was unreal — 13 returning starters from a championship team will do that. I’m not guaranteeing a repeat title by any means, but considering last year’s success and this weekend’s domination at defending Ivy co-champion Dartmouth, the enthusiasm around the program is sky-high. But even if Penn repeats as league champs — even if Penn finishes unbeaten in conference play for the first time since 2010 — hell, even if Penn wins every league game by double digits — its season will come to an end when the clock strikes zero at Cornell on Nov. 19.
COLE JACOBSON
And that’s ridiculous. Football is the only one of the Ivy League’s 32 varsity sports to refrain from postseason play, and this is dead wrong — it’s time to end the double standard and give Ivy football teams the choice to compete in the FCS playoffs like everybody else. So why haven’t the Ivy League presidents pulled the trigger? Some might argue that the conference wouldn’t be competitive. But at the end of the 2015 season, the NCAA’s Simple Rating System had Dartmouth ranked 2nd in the FCS, Harvard at 4th and Penn at 15th. SEE JACOBSON PAGE 8

Fuller mentors more than just players as Penn’s coach M. SOCCER | Coach
works hard for assistants
MATT FINE Associate Sports Editor
Head coaching positions in Division I athletics don’t come easily. The road to these roles often involves numerous steps, many of which involve switching schools and moving across the country. Before ever even interviewing for a head coaching job at a school, one may work alongside and under many other coaches. In these assistant roles, coaches learn a tremendous amount about how to run a program, from in-game tactics to recruiting. Penn men’s soccer head coach Rudy Fuller has had dozens of assistant coaches during his 19-year tenure at the school. And out of that cast, in a true testament to Fuller’s leadership and coaching prowess, four of them have become head coaches — either at other D-I programs, or professionally. Rob Irvine (La Salle), Bob
Butehorn (Florida Gulf Coast), John Pascal (UC-San Diego) and Rob Vartughian (New York City FC) all were assistant coaches for the Quakers with Fuller at the helm. The success of these assistants does not surprise Fuller in any way. In fact, he wants his assistants to be ambitious when working with him. “Any head coach would tell you they want to hire coaches that aspire to coach at the highest level. I’ve been very fortunate to have great people work for me,” Fuller said. “Some were younger and just getting started in their coaching career, and a few, like Bob Butehorn, were very accomplished and successful head coaches in their own right when they joined my staff at Penn, and we were really excited to have someone of that caliber on our team.” Fuller believes that he has had little to do with the success of his assistants, but instead the experience and responsibilities of coaching in the Ivy League force young coaches to quickly learn on the job.
SEND STORY IDEAS TO DPSPORTS@THEDP.COM
“Coaching at a school like Penn, you’re given a lot of responsibility. We don’t have a staff of 10 people, so those guys are able to gain a lot of different experiences and it gives them exposure to a really high level.” It also appears that the experience and knowledge that is passed does not flow from head coach down. “For the more experienced coaches I have had on staff, guys like Bob Butehorn, I definitely learned more from them than they took from me. It was a very good experience on both sides. It’s always a two-way street, and the different philosophies and views of the game are beneficial. A place like Penn attracts the best candidates, and we’ve been fortunate to have them here.” While Fuller won’t take much credit for his assistants landing jobs at other programs, those coaches certainly will acknowledge the effect he had on their careers. “I don’t think there is a SEE M.
