THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
CAPS now open weekday evenings Students can also now visit CAPS on Saturdays GENEVIEVE GLATSKY Staff Reporter
On Friday, Counseling and Psychological Services announced that it will extend its hours to weekday evenings and Saturdays.
The announcement came from Meeta Kumar, the CAPS director of outreach and prevention, at the CAPS Wellness Reception, which brought together student leaders and administrators to share ideas and collaborate on mental health initiatives. Kumar said that it would take several months to work through the
hiring process for new staff before CAPS can offer the extended hours. “We’re really excited because this has been much talked about and we just received the go ahead,” she said at the event. “So that’s really great news.” The announcement came among several other new initiatives and programming that CAPS will be

Horses meet community development at this stable CARL-EMMANUEL FULGHIERI Staff Reporter
Malik Divers is no stranger to horsing around. Divers, a Southwest Philadelphia native and the subject of the viral video “The Concrete Cowboys of Philadelphia,” heads an urban stable near the west bank of the Schuylkill River. And while hisnot is work is playful and competitive, his main motivation, he says, is to better the lives of community members in and around his stable. For the past 15 years, Divers,
57, has been part of a unique Philadelphia tradition of inner-city horsemanship. Divers’ stable, which contains three horses, teaches equestrian skills to kids from around Philadelphia. After the rent rose on the empty lot he used as his last stable on 56th and Paschall streets, Bartram’s Garden reached out to provide space for his horses and support the stable’s vision. While Divers teaches local children at no cost, other stables charge for lessons. Chamounix, a large stable in Fairmount Park, has a work-to-ride program for disadvantaged urban youth that fields a SEE STABLE PAGE 3

Course text access codes limit ability for students to share
Pricey codes must sometimes be bought in bundles ALLY JOHNSON Staff Reporter
Resourceful students find plenty of ways to cut down on textbook costs. But when professors require textbooks with single-use digital access codes, no level of creativity can save them from paying high prices. These serial numbers allow students to register for accounts with various online learning platforms, which may be required in order to complete online quizzes or homework assignments for a class. Once a code is used, it cannot be reused by another student. In Sept. 2016, the Student Public Interest Research Groups
(PIRGs) — independent statewide student organizations that work on issues like environmental protection, consumer protection and homelessness — published a report called “Access Denied” that called these access codes the “new, dangerous face of the textbook monopoly.” The report found that 20 percent of classes at private, fouryear colleges require these codes and only 28 percent of access codes are offered at bookstores in an unbundled form. If codes are only offered in bundles, students must buy the code with other materials. The Student PIRGs found that the average cost of an unbundled access code was $100.24 when purchased at institutional bookstores. Since these codes cannot be

reused, all traditional cost-saving measures are eliminated. The Penn Bookstore advertises its rental option as an alternative that can save students up to
75 percent of the cost of a new textbook. The bookstore also offers more than 80 percent of textbooks for rent as well as used books.
While the bookstore offers unbundled codes, the unbundled codes are not always significantly less expensive — the access code required for Intro to American
Politics costs $80 when bought separately from the bundled loose-leaf textbook and access code, which costs $107. Access codes also eliminate the option for students to buy used books online through the Penn Book Bazaar or various Facebook groups. On the University of Pennsylvania Facebook network, groups such as “Textbook Exchange” and “Free and For Sale” have hundreds of listings. Wharton and Engineering freshman Alejandro Rodriguez has been assigned online textbooks accessible through these codes, but he hasn’t bought them because they aren’t required to complete graded assignments. “They’re required but I don’t buy them,” he said. “I’ve been able to find online PDFs.”

championship polo team. One of Divers’ stablehands, 21-year old Chris Coger, left the Chamounix program to work with Divers. “When he got of age, his mother had to pay. She couldn’t pay, so he found this urban stable and ever since has been with me,” Divers said. Divers’ goal is to provide an outlet for at-risk youth to focus on riding. “You can’t have one foot in the street and the other with the horses. Gotta put all your mind into this,” he said. His efforts to improve the welfare of the city around him thus far have come face-to-face with the realities of neglected and impoverished urban communities.
Many of his students come from significantly disadvantaged backgrounds, and he provides them with a stipend and structured activity in exchange for their caring for the horses and selling horse rides. “Ten years old, they wake up with nothing to eat, no dinner … One of them used to make money and feed his family off those horses. They take care of [the horses] and they take care of them. One hand washes the other,” Divers said. Divers’ stable makes some money by selling horse rides to locals, Coger said, adding that he has given rides to people as young as toddlers and once to a 68 year old. Many amateur cowboys find the stable to be a source of stability. For Eli Mount, 22, who

Divers has witnessed the effects of crime on his community and stable-family. One of his students was murdered in what seemed to be a random act of violence, he said. “He was one of my good kids. It was a senseless killing. He was a good rider, loved to clean the stable, liked to ride,” Divers said. “And somebody just took his life.” The dynamics of his work

with the community are complex. One student worked with Divers for six years as his father finished a prison sentence, he
said. Divers taught him exhaustively about the horses and made him the stable manager. After returning from prison, his father
pulled him from the program, Divers said. “A lot of kids’ fathers and mothers, some of them was appreciative and a lot of them [weren’t] in one way or another. I guess they was glad their kid was coming home with money,” he said. “None of them ever walked up to me and shook my hand and said thanks for what you did.” Another of his participants was paid a couple dollars a day selling water bottles on a street corner before he came to the stable, Divers said. When Divers saw a hole in Jabriel’s sneakers, he took him to get new shoes and clothes. “He didn’t have to worry no more,” he said. “He was making money with the horses, taking care of his family.”
Mothers of the Movement want you know they’re ‘with her’ The group campaigned for Clinton in West Phila. HALEY SUH Contributing Reporter
When Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reached out to Maria Hamilton in March, along with 20 other mothers who lost their children in a police shooting, Hamilton thought that she was going to be talking to just another politician, she said at a Philadelphia event this weekend. But when Hamilton arrived in Chicago to meet with Clinton, she realized that the presidential candidate was just like her, a mother. Hamilton and others spoke in support of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in West Philadelphia Sunday on behalf of the group Mothers of the Movement, which represents mothers who have lost sons and daughters to fatal encounters with law enforcement.
“When Hillary got there, the staffers left the room, there was no media, and we all told our stories … I cried on her shoulder and told her that 20 months after my son died, I was still fighting to clear his name because he did nothing wrong,” Hamilton said. Hamilton’s son, Dontre Hamilton, was killed in April 2014, when a police officer named Christopher Manney shot the 31-year-old man 14 times in a public park. Dontre Hamilton, who had a history of mental illness, was sleeping in the park when he was shot down. “We saw the compassion in her face … She was genuinely hurt listening to our stories, and she told us that she couldn’t imagine if she could’ve withstood it if something like that happened to her daughter or to one of her grandchildren,” Hamilton said of Clinton. Beside Hamilton at Sunday’s campaign event was Geneva ReedVeal, mother of Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old woman who was
arrested by a police officer for a minor traffic violation and was later found dead in a jail cell. “She didn’t come to us asking for our vote, she didn’t come to us asking us to get on the campaign trail. She came to us and said, ‘I’m tired of this and I know you are too,’” Reed-Veal said. Speaking to a small room filled with Clinton supporters, both women expressed the need for voter turnout. They also emphasized that this year’s election was not simply about race. “This isn’t a color thing. This isn’t about race for me. It’s about people in power that are being paid to make laws that govern everybody, because the United States isn’t doing that anymore,” Hamilton said. Sharing a similar sentiment, Reed-Veal said, “This isn’t about black and white. This is about right or wrong. [Clinton] is more than qualified, and she’s proven that.”

OPINION The Nobel Prize in “Literature” THE CONVERSATION | In defense of the written word

“Sara Danius, a literary scholar and the permanent secretary of the 18-member Swedish Academy, which awards the prize, called Mr. Dylan ‘a great poet in the English-speaking tradition’ and compared him to Homer and Sappho, whose work was delivered orally. Asked if the decision to award the prize to a musician signaled a broadening in the definition of literature, Ms. Danius jokingly responded, ‘The times they are a changing, perhaps,’ referencing one of Mr. Dylan’s songs.” — The New York Times Homer, and Sappho. Serenity now. Deep breaths. Last week, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for having “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” I start out with this, because my fifth grade English teacher taught me that starting an expositional essay with humor is a popular technique, and this is the biggest joke I have encountered
in a long time. To me, the debate over whether Mr. Dylan is a poet or whether his work can be counted as literature is frankly irrelevant in determining whether he deserved this prize. Whether his lyrics could have been successful without his music, I don’t claim to know. What I do know, and what should matter, is that they ultimately were not treated or meant to be treated primarily as a form of literary expression. Giving a literary award to a musician for the potential interpretation of his music as literature is absurd. The same logic would lead us to award a Grammy for Best Rap Song to John Ashberry because his poems could potentially have had great success as rap were they considered in the context of a certain beat. Yes, of course, as is true with any music lyrics, it is possible to interpret Mr. Dylan’s words as literature. There are literary elements in music, as there also exist inherently musical elements to
poetry and prose. These two are forever linked — song was used to refer to poems long before musical pieces, and even the word “lyric” stems from the instrument “lyre.” However, it is unfair
my position to be conservative or elitist. In fact, my criticism is not that awarding a literary prize to a musician is too progressive. Rather, it’s completely regressive and backwards. The magic of
Giving a literary award to a musician for the potential interpretation of his music as literature is absurd.” to both writers and musicians to equate the two art forms. The way we engage with Mr. Dylan’s art is completely different than with traditional literature — it would be a disservice to both Mr. Dylan and to the art form of music for us to treat it as merely words on a page. The experience of listening to one of his songs is created by his music as a whole. I hope people will not take
written literature is that the music contained in it can be heard even without the backdrop of melody, without the pluck of a string or pressing of a key. We are capable of discussing rhythm, pace and flow in a literary work without a score or metronome. For me, this is part of the allure of the written word — that sound and sense can be expressed through ink and paper.
To me, perhaps the most disturbing thing about this year’s awarding is that it perpetuates the notion that art needs to be accessible to everyone to be meaningful. Why do we need “a broadening in the definition of literature?” This concern does not extend to the other Nobel Prizes. I assure you that I would understand very little about the nature of research done for the chemistry or physics prizes, and that’s fine. Let me say, however, that I do not accept the seemingly ubiquitous argument that Mr. Dylan’s commercial success in comparison to writers is a reason he should not have won. Yes, it is true that the Nobel can be a financial boon for struggling artists whose forms of expression are not financially lucrative. However, as is true with any award, the winner should be decided on merits. My criticism of the awarding rests purely on theoretical grounds, not practical ones. The Nobel Prize matters. It is a recognition of an indi-

REAL TALK | Trump’s words aren’t an issue became men don’t say them, they’re an issue because they do Before Donald Trump’s Access Hollywood tape fades from the news cycle and becomes just another scandal in an election season that’s seen many, I’d like to make one thing clear: Trump’s words are locker room talk. They aren’t just that though. They’re also dorm room talk and chapter house talk. Hell, for some men that’s what gets said over Sunday brunch. There’s no denying that Trump’s words are dangerous, that they threaten and dehumanize women. But what’s worse is perpetuating the idea that he’s the only one who says them. The idea that men never talk like that — or that, at the very least, they don’t say something similar — completely disregards how prevalent of an issue this is. I for one will admit that I’m guilty of saying and perpetuating language that objectifies women. I hate to think of what someone would find if my most shameful moments were put on tape. I know
I can’t defend everything I’ve said about women, nor do I want to. And even if my comments aren’t as aggressive as Trump’s, that doesn’t mean my words are excusable, that they don’t feed into the same misogynistic culture that fuels him. It also doesn’t mean, as many Trump surrogates have argued, that these kinds of comments should get a pass because “all men say them.” Trump’s words aren’t heinous because they’re uncommon; they’re heinous because they are. Trump’s particular brand of consent, his claim that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” isn’t something we can write off as a problem that doesn’t include us. The idea that women will “let you do” things by virtue of your status, that consent can be assumed before it’s actually given, isn’t unique to Trump. That kind of thinking permeates our college campuses. It’s why the OZ email was deemed acceptable to send. But college campuses
don’t just experience this problem, they also lead the movement towards ending it. Groups like We Are Watching who have chosen to protest Trump’s Access Hollywood tape and the OZ
but also the women who are victimized by them. Jessica Leeds is one of the growing number of women who are coming forward with allegations of sexual assault against
Creating a culture of accountability — in which men’s words and actions are challenged rather than taken for granted — is the first step towards ending sexual assaults.” email are directly combating rape culture by publicizing the issue. By doing so, they help shift the framework of values that we as a society adhere to and make women’s rights a prominent issue. This can have a powerful effect not just on the perspective of men who might commit acts of sexual violence,
Donald Trump. The New York Times reported that Leeds “did not complain ... at the time … because such unwanted advances from men occurred throughout her time in business in the 1970s and early 1980s.” “We accepted it for years,” Leeds said of the conduct. “We were taught it was our fault.”
Hopefully, thanks to the actions taken by groups like We Are Watching, women on college campuses won’t feel like sexual assault is normal or that they should accept it. There are of course those who will critique this method, who say that protest, and the outrage that ensues, does more to shame, and thereby bury, an underlying culture of misogyny than it does to actually alleviate it. I don’t deny the possibility that some men might be more motivated to hide their words or actions rather than to actually change them. But the shame that those men feel is a small price to pay for alleviating the shame that is felt by so many victims of sexual assault. That being said, we should also take into account that real change can’t occur with outrage alone. Large scale protests can bring women’s voices to the forefront and help to change the conversation, but those calls go unanswered when
CAMERON DICHTER we simply pay lip service to the movement. The hard part isn’t denouncing rape, or even supporting consent in an abstract sense. What’s hard is seizing on those moments when the culture is more nuanced and the phrasing is less pronounced than Trump’s. This is something I’ve struggled to do with my own language and certainly when I’ve heard it from others. CAMERON DICHTER is a College junior from Philadelphia, studying English.

Why Penn left rare Roman columns out in the open in the Engineering Quad
YOSEF ROBLE | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
King Hussein of Jordan gifted two columns and a pillar head to the City of Philadelphia in 1976 to commemorate the United State’s bicentennial.
Columns were a gift from the Jordanian government CARL-EMMANUEL FULGHIERI Staff Reporter
Three 2,000-year-old pieces of history currently sit in the middle of the Engineering Quad. And hardly anyone even knows they exist. “I can’t believe I’ve never noticed them!” said Engineering sophomore Caroline Atkinson when asked about the columns. These items, two columns and an elaborate pillar head, were given to the City of Philadelphia by King Hussein of Jordan to mark America’s 1976 bicentennial. The pieces came from a column from the ancient city of Philadelphia, which was located in present-day Amman, Jordan. Despite the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology’s promise to
look after the artifacts for Philadelphia, these items have been left exposed to the elements for around 40 years, currently serving as a makeshift bench for mid-day diners and furniture for squirrels. Why is Penn treating these pieces of history as such? After Julian Siggers, the current Williams Director of the Penn Museum, arrived in 2012, he said the conservators there suggested moving the columns inside the museum. “In Jordan they would be outside but their climate is less brutal than ours,” he said. I don’t want Philadelphia winters to do any more damage than they already have.” The columns have remained outside without a sign even denoting what they are. “People remove a lot of signs on campus … it’s sort of a game. It’s possible that sign
was removed at some point in the past,” Siggers said. An additional problem is the lack of clarity as to who owns the columns — Penn or Philadelphia. “[The city] may not even know about it,” Siggers said. “Somebody at Penn is looking into it, tracking down the records they may have about the actual transaction.” The museum plans to renovate most of its galleries and, as it moves the exhibits into storage beforehand, will also try to bring the columns inside, Siggers said. “The only delay we have in that is that the museum has launched a renovation of 70 percent of our public galleries … it is a giant 3-dimensional chess game,” he said. “In the short term we will store them off-site until we can move them into the museum.”

student groups and lead to inclusion of students who might not be aware of the wellness initiatives. “There’s still people who are not in the loop. So we are not just doing it within our own siloed communities but we keep expanding our reach so it touches more and more,” Kumar said. For the first time, CAPS will be offering an international student peer support group conducted in Mandarin, as well as a support group for students to talk about their experiences of discrimination and marginalization. The CAPS International Specialist Dr. Yuhong He said she hoped the Mandarin-language group would offer additional support to some of the 2,000 Chinese international students at Penn. “Because English is not their first language many of them have reported feeling like because of the language barrier they even have difficulties
accessing some of the services, including CAPS,” she said. Dr. He said the group would be a space for students “to speak to someone in their language and to be more able to express themselves and maybe talk about other issues that may be related to language or culture.” The new programming goes along with existing efforts by CAPS to expand their capacity and outreach. Last spring they hired Dr. Alaina Silverman for the new position of coordinator of prevention programs. They also hired Ben Bolnick, the former student leader of Penn Wellness as the student wellness communications coordinator. Last year, CAPS piloted a new ‘embedded’ model at Penn Vet School in which a CAPS clinician worked in-house several days a week, providing initial consultations and acting as a conduit to CAPS. The model was successful, and they plan to expand and launch it at Penn Dental this year. CAPS is also working to

Bolnick felt the announcement came as a culmination of ongoing efforts and partnerships among students and administrators to improve the mental health climate on campus. “That’s really the efforts of everybody working together,” Bolnick said. “So that it’s not just these students who are involved in mental health activities but it’s really everybody being on board with this cultural change.”

Columbia slammed Trump at halftime of their football match against Penn this past Saturday.
God, WHY? Just last week in fact,/We all heard the tape/Where a certain nominee/Bragged about… getting away with sexually assaulting unconsenting women. Unfortunately, Penn,/You’re not in the clear,/‘cause locker room talk,/Also happens here! An email went out,/From a frat called OZ,/Demanding girls in tight dresses/Who won’t be a tease. Come on, Penn boys!/You
can’t be this thick!/Women aren’t toys/And will cut off your… scholarship. But before we leave you today/We’ll play you a song/ In honor of Penn Men/We now form a dong Just kidding. The band now forms a 1950’s mentality and plays Time Warp.” Penn won the game, 35-10. Sports editor Tommy Rothman contributed reporting on this story.

Quakers’ Lane emcees as Penn competes at US Squash Open SQUASH | Drexel played
host to national tourney COREY HENRY Sports Reporter
Before US Open champions Mohammed El Shorbaghy for the men and Camille Serme for the women are presented with their trophies, they will wait for the head coach of the Penn men’s squash team to call their name. For the past four years, Gilly Lane has made the trek next door to Drexel University to serve as an
emcee for the yearly US Open of Squash tournament. Before every match, the emcee is responsible for introducing each of the players and giving a quick bio before getting the crowd pumped up for the game. In between games, Lane also kept the crowd enthused with t-shirt giveaways along with other freebies. After each match ends, the emcee is also tasked with interviewing the winner and keeping the crowd ready before the next round of matches begin. “You get to hear the ins and outs of what’s going on on the tour
and you get a different perspective as a player and a host,” Lane said. “I feel that I appreciate the game more.” In 2012, US Squash found themselves in the market to hire someone new to serve as host for the US Open. Looking to choose someone with local ties, former Penn squash player and director of doubles and professional squash for US Squash Graham Bassett recommended his former teammate for the job. “I said sure I thought it would be fun,” Lane added. “One year turned into more... and now I’m
four years in and it’s been a great experience.” The Philadelphia native has also added his own personal touch to the gig. Each new day brings a new bowtie strapped around the collar of Lane’s suit. The fashion statement has actually become so well-renowned around the squash community that the emcee actually has heard complaints on days that he eschewed the accessory. “It started last year since my brother loves bowties,” Lane said. “It’s something fun, and I like to
have a good time.” The job wasn’t solely confined to the emceeing. Lane also split time coaching three different players early on in the tournament’s qualifying rounds. Sophomore Reeham Sedky and junior Hayes Murphy of Penn squash were coached by Lane in the tournament’s qualifying rounds. With just two points separating Sedky from qualifying for the main draw, an injury forced the Washington native to concede the fifth game and the match to her
opponent Nele Gillis of Belgium. Murphy also found himself close to securing a victory before losing his game ball advantage. “It shows how hard they worked and their progression,” Lane said. “I think they represented themselves and this university in an unbelievable way.” With another successful stint at this year’s tournament, the bowtie-clad host will be looking forward to what new challenges await at the 2017 edition of the tournament.

Red and Blue endure torrid trip to Hanover, lose by 3 M. SOCCER | Team falls
to 6th in Ivy League
SANJAY DURESETI Sports Reporter
Dr. Seuss, a Dartmouth alum, often extolled the virtues of leaving one’s comfort zone, of engaging wholeheartedly in the journey that is life. However, if you ask members of Penn men’s soccer about the places they’ll go, Hanover, N.H., is no longer included on their lists. The Quakers couldn’t stop the Big Green machine from mowing them over on Saturday, as Penn lost a crucial Ivy matchup, 4-1. Although the match was closer than the final tally suggests, the Red and Blue will find no solace in the scoreboard or in the newly updated Ivy League table, which leaves Penn (3-3-5, 1-2 Ivy) sixth out of eight teams, ahead of winless Cornell and Yale. Dartmouth (4-2-5, 2-0-1), after its victory, moves into a tie for first with Columbia and Harvard. Penn began fighting uphill from the match’s onset. A Quaker clearance off of an aggressive Dartmouth throw-in found its way to Dartmouth junior Tyler Dowse, who launched a beautiful lob into the Quakers’ penalty box. Big Green leading goalscorer Noah Paravicini chested it away from his defender and ripped a half-volley past sophomore goalie Etan Mabourakh’s outstretched mitts to put Dartmouth on top just seven minutes into the match This rapid, miss-it-if-you-blink style of offense was a sign of things to come for the Quakers. Dartmouth had its way with the Penn defense on the counterattack. Slowfooted retreats after Penn offensive surges led to a plethora of opportunities for the Big Green and, unlike the Quakers, they made sure to convert.

Senior midfielder Matt Poplawski was the sole bright spot for Penn men’s soccer on Saturday as the Quakers fell, 4-1, to Dartmouth.
Coach Rudy Fuller lamented his team’s inability to get back on defense, which he pointed to as the main reason for the loss. “On transition they punished us,” Fuller said. “It’s a little bit of [both a lack of communication and getting back quickly]. When you look at a goal that happens in transition, it certainly starts with not having proper pressure on the ball in the midfield. And then it comes down to our guys not recognizing that they’re trying to drop the ball off early.” This was the difference in a match that was, Fuller claimed, statistically even. Despite Dartmouth’s clear advantage in shots taken, Penn was constantly aggressive on the offensive end and was rewarded often in the form of set piece opportunities. The day ended with the Quakers holding a two-toone advantage in corner kicks, but due to poor deliveries and errant shots, Penn was held scoreless until it was far too late. “The number of corners gives you an idea of where the game was played. We had possession of the ball, we were on their end quite a bit,” Fuller commented. “The service has got to be better. We have a few guys that are capable of serving a really good ball but we
missed those opportunities.” A good deal of credit, however, must go to Dartmouth’s conference-best defense. The Big Green sport a tall, physical back line led by first team All Ivy defender Wyatt Omsberg that has only allowed an impressive average of .83 goals per game this season. They did much to bottle up Penn’s main offensive threats like senior and Ivy-leading goalscorer Alec Neumann, whose goal streak was halted after three straight matches of finding the net. Dartmouth’s one defensive error came as the sun set on a picturesque New Hampshire afternoon, granting the Quakers one last ray of hope. A short cross by sophomore defender Erumuse Momoh found the head of senior captain Matt Poplawski, who calmly deposited his third goal of the season to bring the score to 3-1. But any hope of a comeback was snuffed out as Penn ceded a penalty to Dartmouth just minutes later. Though not a fatal blow to their Ivy title chances, Penn’s loss to the Big Green makes their margin of error for the rest of the season very slim. With four matchups remaining, the Quakers will likely have to run the table to have any shot at winning the conference crown.

Priore said of the Lions. “At halftime, it was really good how our kids looked each other in the eye and said ‘let’s go out there and play this second half with a little bit of energy.’ We made some nice adjustments on offense. You gotta give Columbia credit. They had us guessing in the first half, then we opened things up a bit.” But after halftime, the contest took a quick turn as the Penn offense started to click. Two minutes into the second half, senior quarterback Alek Torgersen found star junior wideout Justin Watson for a 46yard score to make it 14-0. The Lions clawed back, scoring a rare touchdown on a one-yard score from backup quarterback Hunter Petlansky after a good punt return had given Columbia excellent field position. But Penn answered immediately with a pair of big plays, first a 29-yard rush by Solomon and then a 50-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wideout Christian Pearson to put the Quakers up 21-7. “It’s a great thing to be able to contribute to your team,” Pea rson said. “Obviously [Watson] is our star receiver so most teams are going to try to double-team him, so me being able to step up and really

always lost and last year’s [game] was in double overtime and it was really tough for everyone,” Palacios said. “Getting that win and not going to overtime is such a relief.” Coach Colleen Fink was particularly impressed with her team’s resilience. “We’ve been talking about being present and having that mentality of a 0-0 game, whatever the score reflects,” Fink said. “We’ve done that really
change the course of the game and contribute to the team is a really great thing.” Columbia put together a nice drive early in the fourth quarter, but a good pass breakup from sophomore defensive back helped the Red and Blue hold the Lions to just a field goal, and Columbia would not score again. On the next drive, another long run from Solomon and two more catches by Pearson, one for his second score of the game, gave Penn a commanding 28-10 lead. With 2:01 left, the Quakers put the icing on the cake, with Solomon, playing the role of quarterback in the Wildcat formation, adding a passing touchdown to his impressive statline by finding senior receiver Cam Countryman for a 23-yard score and create the final 35-10 scoreline. “It was one of those games where maybe the final score wasn’t totally indicative of how we played, and I think we just ran out of gas,” Bagnoli, who coached Penn for 23 years, said. “They’re a really highpowered offense and they can make explosive plays.” Priore and Bagnoli both ack nowledged the unique nature of Saturday’s game, with Bagnoli making his return to Penn’s campus after having “retired” in 2014. But both coaches downplayed the importance of the sideline storyline:
“Before the game, it was nice to see people and catch up... Once the whistle blew, it didn’t matter who was on the other side,” Bagnoli said. “We talked all week about it, making sure [the team] understood the narrative shouldn’t be me. I stopped taking interviews on Thursday, I was tired of answering, ‘what’s it feel like?’ I’d had it by Wednesday night, so I called it quits on Thursday. The focus should never be on us, the focus should be on the kids.” Priore admitted to having done some thinking about the reunion himself: “How could you not, right? You work with somebody, a close, dear friend. Our houses are probably a half a mile apart. His wife and family are outstanding people, great friends.” But the current Penn coach made it clear that the battle with his mentor had no bearing on his preparation for the game. “Whether we’re playing Al, or playing my brother [Chuck, who coaches Stony Brook], that week [leading] up to it, it’s gametime, and you try to separate it. We don’t want it to be a distraction for the kids... it’s about the kids, not us.” Focusing on the “kids” who took the field in Saturday’s romp, it’s hard not to wonder if Bagnoli might wish he had his old job back.
well the last two matches.” The weekend did not end there for the Quakers. On Sunday, the team traveled to Newark, Del. to face the Blue Hens (13-2, 3-0 CAA). A win would bolster the Quakers’ chances of qualifying for the NCAA tournament. It was not meant to be. At one point facing a two-point deficit, Huang delivered a lategame equalizer to send the game into overtime. But in the first minute of double overtime, Delaware sophomore Greta Nauck scored her second goal
of the game to secure the 3-2 win. Fink spoke about how her team can further improve. “It’s been an ongoing theme about our baseline defense,” the seventh-year coach said. “There’s got to be a better mentality that the ball is not coming across.” The Quakers will look to carry these two strong games into their matchup against Yale. And with the way that the Quakers performed this week, consider the rest of the Ivy League on notice.

Though the match’s final result was disappointing for the Quakers, the team was eager to turn things around the following night against Brown (4-13, 2-5). Penn set the tone early on against the Bears, jumping out to a 4-1 lead in the first set. From there, Brown fought back to keep things close, but the Quakers were ultimately able to hold on for a 25-22 win.

In a sport like volleyball, so much depends on being able to move on from tough points. But often times, it can be just as important to move on from tough matches. And that’s exactly what Penn did this weekend, as the Quakers rebounded from a difficult 3-0 loss to Yale to defeat Brown in straight sets just a day later. Against Yale (12-4, 5-2 Ivy), the Red and Blue (8-11, 3-4) were able to keep each set close early on. Down the stretch however, the Bulldogs proved why they entered the game at second place in the Ivy League. Behind the power of outside hitters Kelly Wirth and Brittani Steinberg, who combined for 18 kills, Yale pulled away in
other people.� In the second set, the two teams traded leads throughout. The Bears actually built a 20-18 lead, but the Red and Blue showed their resilience in coming back for a narrow 25-23 victory. The Quakers picked up right where they left off in the third set. Though Penn lost the set’s first two points, the team trailed only once more en route to a 25-21 win to close out the match. Much of Penn’s dominant performance had to do with the strong play of junior setter Sydney Morton. Despite battling through illness, Morton was able to finish the match with 29 assists, including 14 in the second set. It was also a special weekend inside the Palestra, as the Quakers were hosting their annual Dig Pink! fundraising event during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “To me, everybody wins if we’re raising money for breast
cancer research,� coach Kerry Carr said. “So to me, it’s not about the scoreboard.� On the scoreboard, however, things won’t be getting any easier for the Quakers this week, as Red and Blue will face off against league-leading Princeton for the second time this season. In the first match-up, the Tigers (13-3, 7-0) just edged out Penn in a fivesetter, and Penn is hungry for revenge. “We want them bad,� said Carr. Quinn expressed a similar attitude. “I could not think of a team that we want to beat more than Princeton.� With Penn representing the only Ivy League team to have even taken a set from Princeton this season, all hands on deck will be needed to orchestrate an upset and introduce the Tigers to the loss column for the first time in conference play. The longtime rivals will face off on Friday night in New Jersey.

Penn makes a splash in first race at Navy Day Regatta ROWING | Men, women
an impressive time for the lengthy 5,000-meter race. Navy trailed them by nearly 30 seconds and Drexel finished third, only seven seconds ahead of Penn’s 2V hull. The men’s lightweight 1V hull, meanwhile, was the only eightsweep to break 13 minutes with a time of 12:55.73. Hot on their tail in splits, but not in physical proximity (a race this long and large requires staggered starts) was Penn’s 2V hull, which edged out third place Navy by four seconds. Farrell described that this first race of the year is always meaningful for the team. “There’s a lot of pride that goes into racing,� he explained. “When you put on the uni, put on that Penn ‘P’... for the freshmen, it’s their first race ever as a Penn athlete, and that’s a special moment.� Penn rowing has plenty of new blood to work with this year.

GRIFF FITZSIMMONS Sports Reporter
“It’s game on at this point.� Colin Farrell, head coach of the men’s lightweight crew program, was optimistic about the coming season after Penn rowing made a statement Saturday morning at its first regatta of the year. Ideal conditions on the mighty Schuylkill River found both the women’s and lightweight men’s 1V (or “A-team�) hulls finishing first at the annual Navy Day Regatta in a field that included Delaware, Temple, Drexel and Navy. The women’s team’s fastest eight-sweep (one coxswain and eight rowers, one oar apiece) crossed the finish line in 14:21.77,
11 walk-on rowers. “There’s still room to learn how to row in college,� Farrell noted. “Our sport is unique in that way.� “What we coach here is a team culture,� added Julian Mazaira, the assistant coach in charge of training the lightweight walk-ons. “When we have people that follow that culture, it makes it easy to have people assimilate into that team; they want to feel like they’re part of something bigger.� All healthy rowers, from the novices to the veterans, had the chance to race this Navy Day. The regatta’s name comes not from the Annapolis service academy but from the Schuylkill Navy, a rowing club association chartered in 1858 with a goal of promoting amateur rowing on the river. Currently, there are 12 members, including Penn Athletic Club Rowing Association which has been known to attract elite
national team hopefuls. The regatta itself was first held in 1986, when two Navy League members, retired Captain John Mulhern and Richard Stewart, came up with the idea to support awareness of the Navy and the Marine Corps on the US Navy’s birthday. After initially spanning the 200 meters from Girard Avenue to the lighthouse, the race was moved to the Columbia Avenue Bridge the next year, and over time grew to the 50-event, 2,000-athlete event that it is today. The fall season marks the start of a unique segment of the crew year. Unlike the spring season, which is marked by short, 2,000meter races of which rowers usually only take on one per regatta, the coming months are all about building a long-distance training base. Rowers regularly race two 5K’s each regatta,
gaining both experience and endurance for when the spring season rolls around. Though the Quakers are clearly competent long-distance rowers, the real focus is on the long-term, culminating with the Eastern Sprints rowing championship this May. “I think we’re really about the 2K, that’s really the championship season and the distance that we really truly prepare for�, Farrell said. With shorter races comes head-to-head racing, and it’s “that drag race style� that makes things all the more exciting. The Quakers that raced today will be joined by the men’s heavyweight team as the season continues next Sunday in Boston at the Head of the Charles Regatta.

Quakers take frustrating draw against Big Green W. SOCCER | Team stuck
in 4-way tie for 4th in Ivy
MARC MARGOLIS Contributing Reporter
On Saturday, the Penn women’s soccer team travelled to Dartmouth for a must-win matchup after falling in overtime 1-0 to current Ivy League frontrunner Columbia just one week ago. Dartmouth sat at the bottom of the league standings heading into the game, so not only was a win needed, but also expected. However, both sides came out ready to play as both the Quakers (7-3-2, 1-2-1 Ivy) and Big Green (65-1, 0-3-1) created scoring chances within the first ten minutes of the game. Penn continued to attack Dartmouth with good pressure from the midfield. By the end of the first half the Red and Blue had outshot their rivals from the north five to three with freshman midfielder Emily Sands pelting three shots by herself. Still, looking back on the first half and the game as a whole,
Quakers coach Van Dyke expressed regret that her team could have done better. “There were probably a couple moments where we could have kept going, draw players out of spots, get behind [the defense] via either the dribble or a penetrating pass. We did a really good job of bringing pressure.” To compound the struggles on the final third, the Quakers did not catch any breaks from the referees. After scoring a goal towards the end of the first half, the lineman made a questionable decision to call offsides. Van Dyke was not too pleased. “Looking at the replay it was clearly not offsides,” she said. Despite outplaying Dartmouth on the road, it was the Big Green who struck first, scoring a penalty kick in the 61st minute to take a 1-0 lead. However, Penn was not fazed as they continued to stay on the attack. Only four brief minutes later, Sands found senior defender Paige Lombard off a corner kick for her third goal of the season. Van Dyke was pleased with her team’s resilience.
“We could have easily crumpled on the road, but we responded with a great goal off a corner, so I think we showed a lot of character there.” In fact, Penn continued to outwork their opponent, outshooting them five to two after giving up the goal off the penalty. Sands continued attacking and creating offense for the Quakers as she pelted two more shots at Dartmouth goalkeeper Casey Cousineau. In addition to Sands, sophomore forward Sasha Stephens boosted the offense with two more shots on goal, forcing Cousineau to make tough saves. Still, the minutes dwindled down and despite outplaying Dartmouth, the Quakers were headed to overtime. Both overtime periods were more of the same. Dartmouth was on the attack in the early part of overtime, but it was all Penn for the rest of the half with shots on goal from Sands, Stephens, sophomore Allie Trzaska and senior Tahirih Nesmith. Dartmouth goalie Casey Cousineau excelled, repelling nine shots on goal over the course of the game. Penn freshman goalkeeper Kitty
Qu made one save, only letting in the single goal from the penalty kick. All in all, the Quakers ended up outshooting Dartmouth 16 to seven in total shots and ten to two in shots on goal. Despite tying an inferior opponent, there were several bright spots. Sands and Stephens combined for 11 shots and six shots on goal. Van Dyke called Sands one of their key “offensive playmakers.” “Obviously no matter what, the team always wants to win, and so we’re disappointed with that, but as a coach I’d be disappointed if we didn’t put everything out there and they did that tonight,” Van Dyke said. “We did some really good moments of soccer and we got to continue to keep playing our style. Also our offense has improved tremendously from this year to last year.” Sitting with a record of 1-2-1 in the Ivy League and in a three-way tie for 4th with Princeton and Yale, the Quakers must take advantage of their upcoming games against Yale on Saturday and Princeton on Nov. 5.

FOOTBALL | Quakers make
statement, drop Bagnoli & Lions TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor
Much like Al Bagnoli’s last time coaching at Franklin Field, things went poorly for Al Bagnoli on Saturday. But unlike the 2014 season, things went very well for Penn football in its former coach’s return to West Philly. The Quakers, under second-year head coach (and, previously, longtime defensive coordinator) Ray Priore, beat Bagnoli and his Columbia Lions by a score of 35-10. Penn (3-2, 2-0 Ivy) dominated the second half after a slow start to pick up its eighth straight Ivy League victory dating back to last season. The Lions (1-4, 0-2) struggled mightily on offense as they have all season, and their strong first-half defense was nowhere to be found after the (very eventful) halftime break.
Penn struck first early in the game when sophomore linebacker Nick Miller picked off Columbia quarterback Anders Hill deep in Lions’ territory to give the Red and Blue possession just 10 yards from the end zone. The Columbia defense held for three plays, forcing a 4th-and-2, but Priore played it aggressively, as he has all season, and his decision to go for it on 4th down paid off when junior running back Tre Solomon punched it in for the first score of the game. “That’s what we do,” Priore said of the risky decision.”[We have] a lot of confidence in our offense.” That touchdown would hold up until the intermission in a first half that saw combined eight punts, two combined interceptions and a missed Penn field goal. “As we [expected] all week, they played really good defense, they kept us at bay early on, they forced us to run the football, they played outstanding run defense,” SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 9

Red and Blue roll to Ivy win, nearly take down top 10 team
FIELD HOCKEY | Team
PAUL HARRYHILL
This past Friday, Penn cross country took on some of the nation’s best — and their men and women proved that they were up for the challenge. Out of 31 teams at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational, which included seven of the nation’s top 12 women’s teams and six of the top 12 ranked men’s teams, the Quakers finished 14th and 20th, respectively. On the women’s side, star senior Ashley Montgomery continued her string of stellar performances this season with a strong 20:28.6 time and a 13th place showing in the 6,000-meter race. She averaged a 5:30 mile pace over the course, and a strong kick at the end allowed her to edge out two other runners by margins of .2 seconds and 2.3 seconds each. After Montgomery, the scoring was done by senior Cleo Whiting, who finished in 49th

Down an early goal, it seemed as though Penn field hockey would suffer another heart-wrenching loss to Columbia. Instead, the Quakers made a statement Friday afternoon for the rest of the Ivy League to hear. The Red and Blue recorded an emphatic 4-1 win against the Lions over the weekend, before suffering a hard-fought loss Sunday to No. 8 Delaware in double overtime, 3-2. The weekend got off to a rough start for Penn (9-4, 3-1 Ivy), as Columbia junior Maeve Daugherty scored in the eighth minute of the game. While the Quakers started the game with chances to score early, it was the Lions (6-7, 1-3) who were able to convert on their first opportunity. “It definitely was against the run of play,” sophomore

forward Sofia Palacios said. “We weren’t necessarily playing bad, and they weren’t having a ton of shots, so we knew we had the whole game in front of us to keep on going.” Facing early adversity, the Quakers responded. Twelve minutes later, freshman forward Chelsea Duggan was able to sneak a pass from the end line to Palacios, who leveled the score of the game. From that point, the Red and Blue, who managed seven shots on goal in the first half, began to deliver on their scoring opportunities. Off a penalty corner in the 27th minute, junior Rachel Huang delivered a ball that allowed sophomore Paige Meily to set up freshman Alexa Schneck, who struck Penn’s second goal of the game. Senior Elise Tilton closed out the first half by scoring off another penalty corner, giving Penn a 3-1 lead. Palacios spoke about the Quaker’s conversion rate on penalty corners. “We definitely have been practicing shooting a lot,” she
said. “Taking as many shots as possible and making the defense pay if they allow us to shoot.” Besides the offensive display from the Quakers, an impressive defensive performance from Meily and junior back Jasmine Li limited the Lions to just three shots in the first half. The defensive carried on into the second half, as the Lions were unable to score for the rest of the game, despite managing eight shots on goal. The lone score of the second half went to junior forward Alexa Hoover. Hoover managed to reroute a shot fired from junior midfielder Gina Guccione into the top left corner of the goal, solidifying what became the final 4-1 scoreline. For Penn, this win redeemed a disappointing last four showings against Columbia – the Lions had secured overtime victories against the Red and Blue for four consecutive years. “Going into Columbia, everyone talked about how we SEE FIELD HOCKEY PAGE 9
