Protestors attack Trump tapes Students who protested OZ tied Trump to rape culture DAN SPINELLI City News Editor

The student collective known as “We Are Watching” protested on campus early Tuesday morning with messages calling

Republican presidential nominee and 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump “an active advocate of rape culture” and urging Penn students to register to vote. Close to 20 students decorated College Green with eight-feet-tall artwork and posters with the slogan, “Your body, your vote.” Group members drew and painted

the posters, which portrayed naked women with “vote” written across their foreheads, in the living room of Pi Lambda Phi’s chapter house near 39th and Spruce streets. In interviews on Monday night, members said the idea for their demonstration formed after The Washington Post uncovered a video from 2005 of Trump telling

then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush of his ability to grope and kiss women without their consent due to his fame. “Penn as a community often prides itself on being diverse in a variety of different ways,” said We Are Watching co-founder and College junior SEE PROTEST PAGE 7

Every year, Locust Walk buzzes with excitement during the SAC Activities Fair, as students shout and wave flyers to attract eager freshmen to their organizations. But some Penn students are never told about the SAC Activities Fair. They might not even know what Locust Walk is. These students, numbering between 25 and 50 each year, are part of the Bachelor of Fine Arts program — a coordinated degree between Penn’s College of Liberal and Professional Studies and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the oldest art museum and art school in the country. The program somehow still remains a “well-kept secret,” said Anne Stassen, the dean of Student Affairs at PAFA.

Penn will implement campus firewall to prevent cyberattacks The firewall is the most comprehensive security measure ever LILY ZANDI Staff Reporter

In an effort to protect PennNet users from cyberattacks, Penn’s Office of Information Security is implementing a campus-wide firewall service. “Computer attacks are increasing in number and sophistication every year, and one common vector for attack is through the network,” said Joshua Beeman, Penn’s information security officer. The firewall was tested over the past month and a half in the IT departments of

various centers and schools across campus. If it passes its validation phase, it will be implemented soon. Universities are prone to targeting by hackers — in 2015, Harvard University suffered a cyberattack on its Faculty of Arts and Sciences and central administration information technology networks, forcing thousands of students and employees to change their passwords. Hacking has also been highlighted in the national news following cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. This is the the most comprehensive form of cyber protection Penn has ever

implemented, Beeman said. In the past, firewalls have been initiated on local and individual scales, but this is the first campuswide protective measure. IT staff have been working across all of the schools, since this firewall is intended to be as far-reaching as possible — protecting all users and devices connected to PennNet, AirPennNet and AirPennNet Guest. Although this measure is comprehensive, Beeman said it is not invasive to the students, and doesn’t violate Penn’s electronic privacy or open expression policies. “[The University Firewall] gives us the ability to respond faster, more broadly and more proactively to network-based attacks,” he said.

Penn students prepare for upcoming Phila. marathon

Experience is both rewarding and challenging OLIVIA SYLVESTER Contributing Reporter

Every morning at 6:45 a.m., while most students are dead asleep, Engineering sophomore Johnny Forde is preparing for his daily run before class. On Nov. 20, he and other Penn students will be participating in the Philadelphia Marathon. Between training, schoolwork, nutrition and friends, these students have a lot on their plates. According to Forde and others, however, the experience is as rewarding as it is challenging. Forde’s motivation for running the marathon is simple: to lead a healthier lifestyle. Both he and College senior Charlotte Rodgers share this goal in training for their first marathon. Rodgers, like Forde, began running to improve her overall fitness and health when she was a senior in high school. She had completed three half-marathons before deciding to train for the Philadelphia marathon. “In the back of my mind I always wanted to check [running a

full-marathon] off the bucket-list,” Rodgers said. Forde and Rodgers both emphasized the impact training has had on their overall nutrition. Rodgers dispelled the idea that regular exercise allows people to eat “whatever they want.” She discussed how crucial it is to be conscious of what she eats, especially the day before a long run. “I stopped viewing food as just something I eat because it’s tasty, and I view it as what is actually going to get me through a run,” Rodgers said. She cooks most of her own food to keep more careful track of what exactly she is eating. Marathon training has pushed her to become more conscious about things like macro-nutrients and carbohydrate-intake. As a bioengineering major, Forde admits that training every day is difficult with his homework and the demands of his major. He believes that daily running, however, boosts his energy. “I don’t need to drink coffee or Red Bull or anything. I think exercise really is the best natural source of energy,” Forde said. Between training and attending class, Forde noted the importance of maximizing productivity during

breaks. “Doing little bits of homework here and there really adds up and reduces stress along the way,” Forde said. He added that by sticking to a schedule and remaining focused, his diligent work usually leads to free time later. Sleep is another important element to marathon training. Each receive at least seven hours of sleep a night on average. Rodgers said running regularly allows her to sleep more soundly at night. On the downside, however, she said that sometimes her need for rest inhibits her social life. “Come Saturday night, all my friends want to go out at eleven o’clock, and I think ‘All I can do right now is sleep,’” Rodgers said. Unlike Rodgers who sometimes views training as an impediment to her social life, Josh Franklin, a fourth-year graduate student running the Philadelphia Marathon for the third time, feels his social life has improved with marathonrunning. “I have met a lot of cool people through running, who I probably wouldn’t be close with otherwise … You can run with somebody and get to know them really well,” Franklin

that being enrolled full-time presents its own set of challenges. “I’m behind the freshman class that I came in with, so now I’m behind [at PAFA], and also at an odd spot [at Penn] as well. In a sense I’m kind of just a different type of student at both schools — I’m not the normal junior, senior, sophomore at any point in my undergraduate [career],” she said. Some BFA students found it hard to meet other Penn students

said. Forde also believes running has expanded his social circle. Like Franklin, he is a part of Penn Running Club. He attends club cross country meets and enjoys competing and engaging with others interested in running. Although Franklin and Forde emphasize the social aspects of running, all three agree that their training is a solitary endeavor. They each run alone, engaging in their own individualized training plans. He, as well as Forde and

Rodgers, recommend Penn Running Club and other running networks as a way to motivate yourself and meet others with similar interests. “Socializing makes anything a lot more fun. When you have people to hold you accountable … it’s good,” Rodgers said. Franklin, however, advises having individual goals when training as well. He believes one of the most rewarding parts of training is the feeling of personal achievement.

“One of the great parts of [training for a marathon] is being present to your own experience and what the challenge of it means to you,” he said. All three agree that the biggest challenge in training for a marathon is the psychological factor. They said motivation and determination are crucial to obtaining their endgoal — completing the marathon. “A big part of the psychological battle is dealing with how you wish you could run farther, you could run faster, you could feel better when you’re running,” Franklin said. What ultimately motivates each individual, he added, is their own personal goals. Despite the challenges that come with training for a marathon, Forde, Rodgers and Franklin reiterated how rewarding it is. Each of them expressed pride in their accomplishments and the positive effects this goal has had on their lives. “I could achieve many things with setting this marathon as my goal because it helps you get into an overall healthy lifestyle: requiring a strict diet, encouraging good sleep, and basically helping to organize your life... It changes your lifestyle for the better,” Forde said.

starting classes at Penn, students don’t know how much they will have to pay overall until they have already started the program. Lewis acknowledged the unique circumstances of the BFA students, and says that LPS is working to communicate better with SFS. “One of the things we’ve talked about is better sharing of data, from LPS to SFS and back, so that we can better understand our population in this way and better serve them,” Lewis said. “They have different needs, they have different eligibility, and so I think SFS has worked really hard to try and get advisors who kind of understand the programs, who have direction connections to our advising staff.” The small size of the BFA program means that not all University staff or administrators are familiar with the program, or even know that it exists, which can leave students feeling overlooked. “They’re screwing us over,” Roncace said. “We’re so small that even if we make a lot of noise, in the whole perspective of what’s going on at Penn, it’s nothing that is going to really cause any ripples.”

Several weeks later she was hospitalized for major depressive disorder. CAPS does offer services to part-time LPS students, which is why Stassen, Lewis and Koller hypothesized that whoever spoke to her on the phone was simply not familiar with the program. “Because we say it’s a well-kept secret, I’m not sure everybody always knows who they are,” Stassen said. “My understanding is that they may have misunderstood her and thought that she was a student at PAFA and not a student at Penn.” Lewis agreed, speculating that various offices on campus may not understand that some students from PAFA are also Penn students. She maintained that a Penn office would never turn away a student in need. “That’s not to say that it doesn’t ever happen by mistake, but I think it would be the exception to the rule,” she said. Bill Alexander, the director of CAPS, affirmed in an email statement that all students, including part-time LPS students, can access CAPS. “We have no record of the individual LPS student you referenced calling CAPS, but it’s possible that she did not leave her name,” he said in the email. “We are very sorry if the student called and received incorrect information from whomever answered the phone. We urge any Penn student in need to reach out to CAPS by phone, online, or in person by walking into our office.” The contrast between the small size of PAFA and the much larger student population of Penn can also leave students overwhelmed. “They’re going from a small

school where they come into our office and literally we know the names of every single student who walks in here,” Stassen said. “And then they go to a big university and it’s not a knock on the university, it’s just you can’t have that same relationship with an institution that’s that big.” Jen Kollar, an academic advisor for undergraduate programs at LPS who advises BFA students, is herself a graduate of the BFA program. She admitted that it can be frustrating and confusing transitioning from an institution like PAFA with a total of 300 undergraduate and graduate students to one with over 24,000. “Penn is a big place, you get overwhelmed with information,” Kollar said. “I beg students to come in before classes start, let’s look at your schedule … It works best if every semester students review with me.” Despite the challenges, students were still grateful for the academic opportunities at Penn that they wouldn’t have otherwise had access to without the joint degree. “If I hadn’t taken Penn … I would just want to be in my studio painting. And that’s a good goal, but I feel like it’s not really related to what’s happening right now in the world,” Kowalewski said. “I think that because of this program, I really want to do more than that.” Even despite the social and financial challenges that students face, most maintain enthusiasm for their chosen path. “Some people think that studying art is a privilege,” Stassen said. “But we sort of see it, as something that those who are driven to pursue it, it’s a passion of theirs, and so they can’t not do it.”

Despite the intense amount of preparation that goes into running a marathon, many Penn students derive great joy out of the challenge.

Personal challenges

Unfamiliarity with the program can occasionally result in other consequences too. In Sept. 2015 while she was taking classes at LPS part-time, Roncace recalls calling Counseling and Psychological Services to set up an appointment, and told them she was struggling with depression. “I was expressing that this is not safe for me to not be talking to someone, this is a serious issue, and … they just turned me away,” Roncace said.

This year, two of the least favorable candidates in American history are in line to be the next President. Both are candidates with questionable records and the public has not been particularly supportive of either. In other words, voters are faced with candidates they don’t really want. One thing seems clear — the idea of an inspirational candidate is now extinguished, and the voter is told they have no other choice; pick your poison. In an article published by The Onion from March 2016 entitled, “Precious Little Voter Needs To Feel Inspired By Candidate,” the unhappy voter is portrayed as a petulant child. The need to feel inspired by a candidate appears ludicrous, naive even (the fact that Hillary Clinton’s top financial supporter has bought The Onion is no surprise). During the DNC, masses of “Bernie or Bust” supporters tried to stage protests but were either met with Sarah Silverman’s dismissive “you’re being ridiculous” comment, or physically barricaded from protesting by what came to be known as a

“Free Speech Cage.” People dissatisfied with the system are being mocked. This year, a victory for either party will not be a moral victory. The establishment and mainstream media sideline third party candidates by excluding them from presidential debates. Then, they sideline voices of support for these candidates by creating narratives that belittle them. By portraying third party voters as immature, coddled and privileged, this narrative negates minority voices that deserve to speak. Negating the voices of people like Cornel West or Kshama Sawant, who are outspoken in their support for third party candidates, prevents dialogue. However, anti-establishment movements have already been gaining momentum. Sanders’ (and Trump’s) rallies drew massive crowds, packing stadiums, while Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush struggled to attract enough people to fill up a high school gym; the people’s desperation to overthrow the current system is evident. It has come to this — alternative options to Hillary have

been dismissed and ridiculed, whilst those supporting Clinton have begun inflating the progressiveness of her campaign. The problem is not whether or not a third party can win

This does not necessarily mean it is time to vote third party this election, but we must consider the ideas of Jill Stein and Gary Johnson regardless of whether or not they can win. The only time alternative options are mentioned is when election season rolls by, and as it does, the chances of other candidates are swept away. It comes straight out of the Simpsons skit where Kang

tive is fear. The voter, afraid of a Trump presidency, is forced into voting for fear of calamity. And fear holds back change. One of the main goals of the Democratic and Republican establishments is to maintain the status quo, and by doing so, they require a fearful populace. By virtue of this fear, we can easily excuse and foster corruption. How can we believe, for instance, that Clinton will fight for environmental sustainability when she has yet to sever financial ties with

Wall Street, oil companies and promoters of fracking? But fear is understandable because it is human. Targeted minorities and women will fear an administration that could threaten their civil rights and erase their voices. This is valid, but the public reaction should not be to shame or denounce alternative options. Instead, this shame should be redirected to those in power, enough so to force them to take alternative ideas seriously. Instead of making demands of voters, people should be making demands for their candidates to change. No candidate is entitled to your vote; he or she must earn your vote. I do not deny the damage that a Trump presidency will likely cause to the lives of people of color and the terrifying implications of his control of nuclear weapons. But I also do not deny the power the people have in changing the status quo. I cannot offer a solution on how to vote, because this is about more than a single election.

The Monk class has started introducing heavy restrictions these past two weeks: first, a Jain diet. Second, no more than 100 words used per day. Mercifully, these did not overlap. So when the first week ended, I promptly stuffed my face with ten cannoli. Jains can’t eat ANYTHING DELICIOUS. The diet is completely vegan and excludes all root vegetables, in order to cause the least harm to living organisms. I clearly prioritize eating garlic over kindness to living things. Then the second week began. I said farewell to my Facebook friends with useful instructions on how to send a letter, and promptly logged out of my social media accounts. What’s killing me is not the #FOMO, but the procrastinative force that’s been ripped from my hands. I’ve had to find other means — procrastination is such a vital part of the creative process, after all — like meticulously combing my hair, excavating my toenails from overgrown cuticles and examining my skin in the mirror. I discov-

When the security guard in my building asks how my roommate’s doing or when my next article’s coming out, I just feel like an ass for reminding her I can’t speak. Or when people try to converse with me in the elevator and apologize for forgetting. I then feel like more of an ass for resenting that my precious 100 words are mostly squandered on “Monk. Can’t talk.” My spectacle of being silent in public causes others to feel bad. I don’t like this. At least I can still acknowledge people through a nod or a wave — in a week’s time, I won’t even be able to make eye contact. I feel rude. It’s nice that people are being accommodating, but I hate having to ask for and assuming compliance. It’s not quite that, in the day-to-day, anyone’s necessarily going out of their way for me — but flouting the so-

cial order, causing any sort of disorientation and subsequent re-grounding for another person feels remarkably inconsiderate. A co-worker musing aloud the other day made me feel a bit better — said the experience of trying to interact

Whether it’s something as mundane as structuring conversation in yes-or-no questions, or evaluating the relative importance of thoughts when you can only speak 100 words. How do you choose? These are fine questions to ask if you’ve signed up for a journey of contemplation. But those who I run into dayto-day didn’t. Who has time

Not responding to a cue creates a tension and an awkwardness. My immediate instinct is to reassure, but I just don’t have Chaplin-level miming skills. There’s a tangible guilt on both sides — but why should the other person feel bad at all? For reminding me that I’ve undertaken precepts? For breaching some sort of agreement we’d never explicitly made? Frankly, I’m surprised no

one has expressed annoyance — and maybe that’s because it’s still new. Dual eye-rolling would put us back on the same comfortable, disdainful plane. Or maybe this goes back to the same strange respect I’ve gotten from taking this class. Opting out is somehow admirable. “I wouldn’t be able to do that,” is a response I often get. “Why the hell would you do that to yourself,” only comes up with questions of my employability — there’s no obvious utility to this class, and I’m missing out on skill-building time. Which, I think, is really just a version of the first response. I’m performing otherness and it’s going to cause reactions. Guilt is ultimately not the point of all of this, but awareness. If awareness and analysis require distance, then is ripping yourself from your own social fabric always a painful process?

Penn alumni successfully hold Horizons coding bootcamp

The 12-week program enrolled 44 students BEN FUNG Contributing Reporter

Horizons School of Technology, a startup founded by Penn alumni, ran its first coding bootcamp course this summer right next to Penn’s campus. 2014 W ha r ton g raduate Edward Lando and 2015 College and Wharton graduate Abhi Ramesh, along with cofounder Darwish Gani, ran the 12-week program. After an involved admissions process that whittled down roughly 2,000 prospective students online, it enrolled 44 students, including 14 from Penn. “O ver a l l, t he p r og r a m exceeded our wildest expectations,” Ramesh said. “It’s a very intense program. We had

a lot of very good outcomes.” Students learned web and app development, aiming for high levels of proficiency in a variety of languages and frameworks. “They’re not necessa rily the best engineers they could be yet, that takes time, but the really important thing that came out of it was these students now have real perspective around what it means to be a technically-minded entrepreneur,” Ramesh said. One of the main features of the course was a speaker series, which, either in person or via Skype, brought people like Fred Ehrsam, CEO of Coinbase, Jesse Beyroutey, partner at IA Ventures, and Ken Baylor, Head of Compliance at Uber, to speak to the students. “We had them give their perspective on what it means to be

someone entering the world of technology in 2016 and how our students can become leaders in tomorrow’s world,” Ramesh said. Wharton sophomore Will Yoo said that he met Lando and became enamored with Horizon’s ambitious long-term vision, and decided to enroll in the summer course. “I would describe it as just excitement in the air all the time, whether it is 8:00 p.m. or 2:00 a.m. in the morning, there is someone doing something really cool,” Yoo said. Yoo emphasized the value of what he gained from Horizons: namely, the coding skills and the connections with instructors, teaching assistants and other students, all of whom he is still in touch with. “If you put the most ambitious, creative, kind-hearted

people in a room together and give them the foundation of being able to develop software, coupled with this perspective of

what it means to be an entrepreneur and what it means to work in the technology industry, that insight combined with the hard

skills — it’s invaluable,” Yoo said. Next up for Horizons is a more in-depth, semester-long course in San Francisco starting in January. After that, next summer, Horizons will expand to have three concurrent programs in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Boston. Horizons is targeted at college students who are interested in getting into the technology industry, even if they are not computer science students or even engineers, Ramesh said. “At schools like Penn, where entrepreneurship is budding, there’s people with a lot of great ideas, but they don’t have the tools to implement them,” he said. “If you’re thinking about doing something in technology, learning how to code can only help you. That’s where Horizons can really provide value.”

PROTEST >> PAGE 1

The student collective known as “We Are Watching” protested on campus early Tuesday morning with messages calling Republican presidential nominee and 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump “an active advocate of rape culture” and urging Penn students to register to vote. Close to 20 students decorated College Green with eight-feettall artwork and posters with the slogan, “Your body, your vote.”

NEWS 7

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2016

Group members drew and painted the posters, which portrayed naked women with “vote” written across their foreheads, in the living room of Pi Lambda Phi’s chapter house near 39th and Spruce streets. In interviews on Monday night, members said the idea for their demonstration formed after The Washington Post uncovered a video from 2005 of Trump telling then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush of his ability to grope and kiss women without their consent due to his fame. “Penn as a community often

prides itself on being diverse in a variety of different ways,” said We Are Watching co-founder and College junior Amanda Silberling. “Trump’s behavior, actions and words don’t honor the fact that there are infinitely many different types of people at Penn.” In the flyer posted around campus on Tuesday, group members wrote, “Trump’s language and malice is not normal, and his excuse rings false. We reject his apology.” The protest occurred weeks after members of We Are Watching

plastered campus with copies of a suggestive email from the off-campus organization OZ that they said was indicative of rape culture. By timing their latest protest on the last day of the voter registration period in Pennsylvania, the group aimed to “show that as students at Trump’s alma mater, we don’t support his hateful rhetoric,” Silberling said. This condemnation of Trump is the latest in a string of denouncements from the Penn community toward one of their most famous

alumni. In July, members of the Wharton community told Trump “you do not represent us” in an open letter signed by 3,937 people. A separate open letter in September authored by Penn alumni and faculty urged Penn President Amy Gutmann to denounce the Republican nominee. While close to 40 percent of College Republican members said they supported Trump in an internal poll of the group’s members, the group itself did not formally endorse him and it is unclear if support for him

has declined after the release of the 2005 tape. The protest is also a pivot for We Are Watching from criticism of rape culture at Penn to a political condemnation of Trump. “Trump’s rhetoric has been a threat to many, many communities,” said We Are Watching co-founder and College senior Syra Ortiz-Blanes. “It’s not a question anymore of if Donald Trump has decency. It’s a question of if we have the decency to not vote for him.”

Using data about the debates and subsequent TV news reports collected by Internet Archive, the APPC will develop research surveys to “better understand how television covers the debates and what voters learn from the coverage of issues such as the economy, healthcare, immigration, and education,” according to an Annenberg statement. “In joining forces, the Internet Archive brings technical expertise in archiving and computerassisted analysis of TV news content,” the statement added, “while the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania brings decades of experience in public-opinion surveys and communication scholarship on presidential debates.” Nancy Watzman, managing editor of the television section of Internet Archive, said voters do learn about election issues from the debates, and her organization and the APPC are both interested in learning more about how they get that information. "[The APPC] are actually the experts, frankly, on that end of it, how people interpret debates,” she said. “What we bring to the equation is we’ve got the technology to provide the data that they haven’t been able to get at before.” Along with the pre-existing library of information, Internet Archive also has a new technology called Duplitron which assists in the collaboration with the APPC. Duplitron “is an audio fingerprinting tool where we can identify identical segments of video,” Watzman explained. “What we can do is take the debate, we can make a fingerprint of it and then we can see which parts of the fingerprint are repeated by TV news stations and turn that into data.” This tool allows researchers to determine which aspects of the debates are covered by news reports. “News reports on debates affect how voters learn about issues,” Watzman added. “It’s not just what they report about, it’s what they leave out.” Already, media outlets are utilizing data collected by Television Archive about the presidential debates. The New York Times recently used their data to create a visualization showing that trade, ISIS, Donald Trump’s tax returns, Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, cyberattacks and women’s issues were the topics most reported on by CNN, FOX and MSNBC following the first presidential debate. Annenberg has also released results from a research survey following the first debate. According to an Oct. 7 press release, “The Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) online sample of more than 2,500 debate viewers before and after the first presidential debate on Sept. 26 found that a significantly greater number knew post-debate that Clinton supports increasing the minimum wage.”

week out,” Priore said. “The more things you do, the more things they have to prepare for. We have three talented tailbacks, so our ability to get all three of them on the field at the same time causes defenses problems.” Torgersen echoed his coach’s thoughts about the new formation.

“That formation is tricky for defenses to cover. They don’t know which one of those three are gonna get the ball.” As for Solomon, who stands perhaps to benefit the most from the three-back formation, he happily remarked on how fun it was being able to receive direct snaps on the field. “It’s a lot of fun for me,” he commented. “I was really nervous at first, because I hadn’t taken a snap

since I was in high school. But this has been a lot of fun — calling the cadence is really cool, I get to use my really deep voice to command the offensive line. Any time we get more than one running back on the field, it’s a lot of fun for us. We like to have a party in the backfield.” Another thing has been interesting to watch unfold in the Red and Blue’s offense — Solomon leads the team in rush yards by far, but the second-placed rusher might be surprising. Torgersen has gained 248 yards for the Quakers and has the team’s longest run of the season so far at 25 yards. How, you might wonder? Let the quarterback himself explain. “Tre’s been doing a great job. [Defenders are] keying him a lot, so it opens up run lanes for myself,” he said. “It’s been a lot different for me, I’m used to just sitting back and passing, maybe rushing a little bit, but I’m having a lot of fun doing it. It’s a lot different. I’m a little more beat up after every game, taking so many hits, but I’m obviously enjoying it, since it’s been so successful.” But when it comes down to it, the team needs Solomon to keep pounding away on the ground in order to open up avenues for Watson to exploit on the outside. The more effectively Solomon is running the ball, the more often Penn’s talisman wideout will find himself in

one-on-one coverage, an irresistible prospect for Torgersen and his favorite target. “Last year, I just don’t think I was as focused as I am this year,” Solomon said. “This year, I’ve been

success. If Solomon can keep on putting in reps and improving little by little, then the newfound balance on the Red and Blue’s offense could serve them well in the final six weeks of the season.

HOOVER

Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play last year. She broke the school record for goals in a game with five, points in a game with 10, and finished second in the nation in goals per game. She earned a shout-out in Sports Illustrated for her play and was even featured on local radio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a freshman, being a standout, it is easy to settle,â&#x20AC;? Corcoran said of Hoover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But she never settled with that role and was always

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said of Corcoran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emily really opened the doors to give Alexa that welcoming feeling right off the bat.â&#x20AC;? Of course, Hoover also had to put in astonishing levels of work to earn a starting spot on a team that finished second in the Ivy League race the year before. But hard work is something that Hoover has always taken head on. In fact, Fink recalls that Hoover was poised to prove a difference from the get-go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She came in freshman year with really high expectations of herself,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. In true Hoover-like fashion, she not only surpassed expectations: she crushed them. As a freshman, Hoover scored 14 times, the fourth most in Penn - Katelyn Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, assistant coach field hockey history.

class, and Alexa and I became good friends,â&#x20AC;? Guccione said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years our friendship has really grown, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped us on the field especially now with us going into bigger roles both starting as forwards. Our friendship helps us know each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of play and helps us when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the field together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely fun to play with her.â&#x20AC;? The two share a relationship on the field like no other duo, according to Fink and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a really great duo and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really fun to be around and really enjoyable to coach,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have that special bond. They want the best for each other and the best out of each other.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the dynamic between Alexa and [Guccione] is exactly what Alexa needed to be successful,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alexa can take a really serious approach to hockey and she has all these expectations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; internal, external â&#x20AC;&#x201D; really high standards â&#x20AC;Ś [Guccione] is clearly serious about it but she takes a much more lighthearted and spirited approach towards the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see that in their pre-game handshake. You see that in the way they celebrate together. Because [Guccione] is here, it makes it a lot more fun for Alexa. Without the fun, Alexa might not have the same results that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been having.â&#x20AC;?

THE EDGE OF GLORY

Heading into her junior year, Hoover decided it was time to make some changes to her playing style to become an even bigger threat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; harness her playmaking ability to set up the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other goal-scorers while transitioning up the field. It is no small feat for a natural scorer to alter her playing style so drastically, but if anybody could do it, it was Hoover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a playmaker. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always praised her defensively, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been able to create offensive opportunities through her defensive play,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is trying to contribute more significantly transitionally on offense.â&#x20AC;? Of course, part of her ability to transition was from learning from great playmaking talents like Corcoran and Hitti, both of

whom are featured prominently in the Penn record books for their assisting contributions. Hitti, the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time assists leader, helped to develop Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transitional game and that has proven to be a huge difference this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to rise to the occasion and set her teammates up and that makes her a well-rounded player,â&#x20AC;? Hitti said. Coming into the season, the pressure was firmly on Hoover. She was just three goals and four points away from the all-time Quakers records. Undoubtedly she would break it, but it was unclear how quickly she would accomplish it. Hoover went without a goal or an assist for the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two games before she picked up one of each against LIU-Brooklyn. That performance left her two goals and one point away from the top of the record books. The next game, an intense overtime thriller against Saint Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Hoover had a game for the ages: two goals and two assists. With that, she broke the points record and tied the goals record. With just one more goal, the two most monumental accolades in Penn field hockey would belong to the junior. Of course, the last goal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 45th one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be the most difficult. Whether she wanted it or not, Hoover was going to be dealing with immense pressure to score once more. Her teammates fed her the ball, hoping that she would get the record-breaker. But the opponents were ready and they knew what was at stake. And, in the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth game, Hoover went scoreless. And then in the sixth. And then in the seventh. And then in the eighth. After the eighth game, it was Guccione who heaped praise on her teammate and wanted her to know that she had the full support of her teammates. At the end of our conversation, Guccione guaranteed that the goal would come in the next game. She was right.

RECORD BROKEN

On October 2, 2016, Harvard came to Ellen Vagelos Field for the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second Ivy League contest. The Crimson tallied the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal, then added another before halftime. The Quakers were trailing by two at halftime and needed a spark.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM Nine minutes into the second half, one of Harvardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backs was looking to take the ball out of the circle, but Hoover pressed and deflected the pass. The errant ball went to Guccione, who passed to Hoover in the circle. Hoover hit Harvardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie Libby Manela with a shot that was deflected back to her. The next shot would find its target and would leave Hoover the leader in goal-scoring with 45 (one higher than Lisa Romigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous mark). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely an unbelievable feeling to have finally done it and have my name up there and represent Penn that way,â&#x20AC;? Hoover said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome.â&#x20AC;? Based on the resulting reactions from the team, it is pretty safe to say that the team was just as excited as Hoover was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all very excited for her. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it coming and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad it finally happened,â&#x20AC;? senior captain Elise Tilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing for her because she worked so hard and the whole teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked so hard too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have it happen while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all on the team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all very happy.â&#x20AC;? She was met with hugs on the field and thunderous cheers from her teammates on the sidelines. The record, which went from a possibility heading into her freshman year to a probability heading into her sophomore year to a near-certainty heading into her junior year, was finally broken. Hoover would go on to score again that day, with the goal curse finally subsided. This time, a fast break and reverse chip would do the trick. In a testament to her onfield effort, Hoover was running on empty at the start of the play, yet burst forward and followed through with a goal. After the play, however, she needed a substitution. At that point, Fink turned to look at Hoover, still exhausted from play, and saw her take that deep and freeing breath that, in one fell swoop, removed from her the pressure to score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was freeing,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot for her to handle. I was smiling ear to ear.â&#x20AC;? For Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, who has worked with Hoover extensively since she was just 10 years old, the goal itself does not compare to the meaning of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best part of the job:

to see something like that develop through the years and for somebody who youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for so long achieve the goals they wanted to achieve.â&#x20AC;? The result was bittersweet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hoover scored two goals for Penn, but it was ultimately in a heartbreaking 3-2 double overtime loss to Harvard. Nevertheless, the team was still cheerful and the crowd was still proud of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort and for Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishment. Corcoran even attended the game to cheer on and congratulate her old friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited for her. She has worked so hard,â&#x20AC;? Corcoran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She really deserves this and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud of all of her accomplishments.â&#x20AC;? You would be hard-pressed to find anybody more cheerful of her friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success than Guccione. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing. I was so happy when she finally scored. I gave her a big hug and before the game I knew she was going to score. I told her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the day you score,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Guccione said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The goal was] something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget.â&#x20AC;? Breaking the goals record is a huge burden lifted off Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back, but there is still work to be done. Team success trumps individual success, and an Ivy League title has always been more important to Hoover than any individual accolades. Hitti, who broke a Penn scoring record en route to an Ivy League title-less campaign in 2015, is quick to offer that advice to her former teammate: the team always comes first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given all my assists back if we won the Ivy League championship.â&#x20AC;? For Hoover, this is undoubtedly a memorable feat in a collection of many. An Ivy League championship would be nice, too. But, at the end of it all, Hoover has earned the praise of her teammates and coaches and will likely be remembered as the best Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attacker ever, according to Fink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think she is very deserving of it. I never got to see [Lisa Romig, the former record-holder] or all of these other people play, but I have to believe wholeheartedly that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best offensive player thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been a part of this program. I have to believe that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that now the records indicate it.â&#x20AC;?

Quakers’ identity unclear as Ivies loom NICK BUCHTA

enn football looks good right now. After the Quakers started off 0-2, the Dartmouth game was over before halftime, and Central Connecticut State proved to be the non-conference softie we suspected they might be. There are just six Ivy games left in the season, and it’s hard to imagine feeling as though the Quakers could realistically be in a much better spot than they currently are. But it still feels like we don’t know who this Penn team really is. Justin Watson was on every preseason watch list imaginable. He leads the team with 29 catches, but that’s only translated into two touchdowns, and senior quarterback Alek Torgersen is only averaging 188 passing yards per game. The Quakers’ vaunted air raid has given way to a more effective ground game than we’ve seen in recent years. It may be that teams simply haven’t been ready for it, but Torgersen has been remarkably effective on the ground — especially in the red zone. Of Penn’s 15 total touchdowns, six have been scored on Torgersen rushes. That’s one more score than he’s logged through the air and the same number he logged in all 2015. Penn is scoring, but it hasn’t been in the ways we thought it would be. They’re winning games despite being outgained by opponents, 440-370 yards per game. Thanks to a bend, don’t break defense and some timely turnovers, that deficit doesn’t seem to matter. We also haven’t seen the Quakers grind a game out just yet. In its wins, Penn went up 28-3 and 21-10 by halftime. In its losses, the scores have been close at the half Just 23 of the Quakers’ 110 points have come in the second half. Sure, there are reasons behind a lot of this. Against Dartmouth, for example, most of the starters were gone from the game as time wound down. But if Ray Priore’s squad is going to win an Ivy title, it is going to require some tough contests. Harvard is not going to be a blowout. Maybe Columbia will offer a surprise. It’s just not possible to breeze through the

conference. These next couple weeks will serve to really define the Red and Blue. Going into this season, it was clear Penn could be good. The last two weeks, the squad

has lived up to that — albeit in ways not necessarily foreseen. To this point, the Quakers have shown an ability to win. Last year, opponents knew what Penn would throw at them. The

Penn — other than, obviously, the world class education, cheesesteak, taking pictures with the Rocky statues, and writing DP columns with overused Philly jokes. This space enables them to learn about leadership from peers in a collaborative, but structured environment for teams to develop diverse leadership styles for different situations. There is not only value in the quality of leadership, but value in adapting those leadership skills to different situations and needs. So how do we learn to be adaptable? Look around you. Not just in athletics, but all over the school, from top to bottom, there are leaders everywhere who have grown into their style based on their experiences. Once you’ve looked, do the

Quakers beat them anyway. This time around, it doesn’t really feel as though Penn has a solid identity. So far, Priore’s been able to go with the hot hand. Sometimes it’s Solomon. Sometimes it’s sophomore wideout Christian Pearson. Consistently it’s been sophomore defensive back Mason Williams. Perhaps Penn can ride this scheme to another Ivy title. Offensive coordinator John Regan relishes mystery and keeping opposing teams — and reporters — in the dark. He likely loves this more than anyone else. Last year, the Quakers rallied around the mantra, “one more.” On its face, it meant that Priore wanted his squad to take the year one win at a time. This year, “one more” could mean just as much. But here, it’s about one more guy stepping up, one more impact play, one more big down. Priore preaches the little things, and this team might be able to win just on that basis.

You don’t need to ask these questions explicitly either — how they treat others, how they communicate their ideas and how adversity changes their attitude can give plenty of insights to these traits if you’re looking and listening. I have been incredibly fortunate in my time here to have tremendous captains, coaches, and teammates that have taught me how to deal with different situations and different groups, but most of all, they’ve taught me that leadership is hardly ever one-sizefits-all.

According to Zack DiGregorio, leadership matters in college athletics more than almost anything else, regardless of a player’s role on a team.

LEGEND IN THE MAKING by WILL AGATHIS

n most team sports, there’s no individual accolade as prestigious as the goal-scoring record. Penn field hockey’s Alexa Hoover, the Quakers’ star attack from Collegeville, Pa., knows quite a bit about that, having broken the record halfway through her junior season. Years of hard work have launched Hoover into the conversation for Penn’s all-time greatest in field hockey and, according to her coaches and teammates, she has earned every bit of that praise over the years. Hoover’s development into a star was certainly no surprise. She started playing the sport at just four years old and by age 10 was already playing for a club field hockey team less than an hour outside of Philadelphia. Hoover was playing on the Viper Sports Club’s under-14 team when she had her first opportunity to play for Penn field hockey assistant coach Katelyn O’Brien. “I was at practice and I am watching this kid play and I go, ‘Oh my God this kid is well beyond her years, even at that age.’ It seems crazy to call a 10 year old crazy athletic but, just she like is today, that kid knows one speed, and it’s 100 miles per hour, and that’s something innately I saw in her,” O’Brien said. “At that young age she would go all out as long as she could until she literally couldn’t. “Not much has changed in that aspect.” In club field hockey, for someone to be playing above her age group is an impressive feat on its own; to be playing on a team four years above her age group is a rather telltale sign of future stardom. There was certainly plenty of talent throughout the club, but that did not stop the coaches from relying on a 10 year old to dominate on a team with significantly older and more experienced players. Hoover’s ability to find success, even at that young age, not only caught O’Brien’s eye, but also that of Penn field hockey head coach Colleen Fink. At the time, Fink was coaching the U-16 team at Vipers and was also the head coach at Haverford. Always with an eye looking to recruit, as Fink says, it should come as no surprise that she was able to see a star in the making in Hoover. “She stood out from the beginning,” Fink said. “The one thing that always set her apart was that spark that she plays with. She has that electric way about her and

that comes from her passion to compete. She just has a ton of heart.” Before Hoover was even 14 years old, she was playing U-16, a testament of her ability to play up multiple age groups. On that Fink-led team was Hoover but also Claire Kneizys, now a senior captain for the Quakers. Neither player had aspirations to play for Fink at the collegiate level. In the end, they both would. At the time, it seemed that Hoover would only play for O’Brien and Fink as a Viper. Hoover, who wanted to go to Penn since she was seven years old, would entertain offers from elite Division I field hockey programs. Likewise, neither Fink nor O’Brien was expecting to coach Hoover at a collegiate level, even though they both saw the makings of a future superstar.

FROM CLUB TO COLLEGE

As fate would have it, Fink left Haverford to take the opportunity to coach at Penn in 2010. Bringing over O’Brien in the process, Fink was tasked with leaving her mark on Penn’s field hockey program. Likewise, Hoover, who had the choice to play at several other schools, wound up following her childhood aspirations to play for the Red and Blue. And, while there, she was reunited with some familiar friends in Emily Corcoran (who graduated from Penn in 2015), Kneizys, Fink, and O’Brien. “Whether [Hoover and her parents] thought she was always going to end up at this school, I can’t say I felt that way from this side of the process,” Fink said. When Hoover arrived to campus in 2014, she already had a sense of familiarity with some teammates and her coaches. Corcoran, a former Viper, was a senior captain at the time and led an attack line that featured Hoover as a full-time starter. “[Hoover] was a standout from the beginning,” Corcoran said. “She showed from the first practice she’s a really confident player. She picked up on the speed really quickly.” Part of what eased Hoover’s transition into collegiate SEE HOOVER PAGE 10

Understanding the dynamic between sports and leadership ZACK DiGREGORIO

hen you see the word “leader,” what comes to mind? Perhaps it is a historical figure, maybe it is an innovator in the tech industry. It could be a family member that you look up to. Or it might be Tom Brady dressed as a gladiator riding a lion. More fascinating than which someone might come to mind for each individual person is how many someones might come to mind. Leadership takes countless different forms and everyone responds to a different type of leadership. Whatever form that leadership takes, though, it is something we as a culture value very highly. I don’t have statistics on the subject, but I would bet a vast majority of athletes at Penn were captains of their high school teams, the best

player on their high school team, or both. This presents a challenge to athletes at Penn, and similar institutions: How do you have a cohesive team when everyone on the team is used to being a leader? I don’t remember when it was exactly, but at some point in my life, I decided being a leader was going to be very important to me. I was the captain of my high school team and tried desperately to get my team motivated and excited about playing and winning, rather than just “being on the football team.” Stepping onto Franklin Field for the first time certainly made me nervous about whether or not I could play with the competition, but really made me panic about how I was going to distinguish myself as a leader on the team. My area of expertise — the motivation, the intensity, and the vocal leadership — had upperclassman in those roles already. In high school, I, as I would expect most athletes here were, was expected to constantly step up. Play has to be made? I have to make it.

Teammates are moping on the sidelines after a turnover? I have to get them fired back up. Teammates don’t want work in the weight room after school in the offseason? I have to get them in there. In my experience, however, even as an underclassman, I was able to grow as a leader. Specifically, I was able to develop the softer, more subtle side of leadership. An oft-referenced cliche says that leadership is essentially being able to strike the right balance between “stepping up” and “stepping back,” and not being the go-to guy allowed me to learn how to step back. Here, I have found that leadership that is so overt and forceful is often not needed. That is not to say there is never a place for the pregame speech, but everyone on the team is there for the same reason: because they love the game the play and because they want to win.

Penn’s run game flies under the radar as team’s X-factor

FOOTBALL | Solomon

healthy, hungry for more

WILL SNOW Sports Editor

If Penn football had two faces, they would be senior quarterback Alek Torgersen and junior wide receiver Justin Watson. But a third name has quietly been making a case for leader of the offense. While the Quakers’ highly-anticipated air attack has yet to really awe supporters this season, the team’s running game has made up for any slack left by Watson and his receiving core. Junior running back Tre Solomon has carried that load. In Penn’s two wins over the last two weekends, Solomon rushed for 221 yards. Solomon and Co. ran for 380 yards while Torgersen threw for 404. For an attack that most expected to be all-pass, it has been a welcome surprise to see such productivity on the ground. And coach Ray Priore saw it exactly as that — a surprise, though he might have had a hand in planning it.

Now in his junior year, Tre Solomon has settled into a full-time role in the backfield for Penn football after sharing time in 2014 and 2015.

Against Dartmouth two weekends ago, Priore’s offense was often seen lining up with three running backs behind the ball, sometimes without Torgersen even on the field. From that surprise formation, the team could then

execute a number of different plays which caused the Big Green problems all night. “We always want to try to give defenses different looks week in, SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 9
