SEPTA workers vote to authorize strike

THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

HILLADELPHIA

Service could be suspended on Election Day if strike occurs BOWMAN COOPER Staff Reporter

With only a week until the contract expires between the Transportation Workers Union and SEPTA, it looks increasingly likely that the public transportation organization will suspend service. The union voted to authorize a strike last week, which could occur in November if the union cannot reach an agreement with SEPTA on a new contract by Halloween. TWU President Willie Brown told Philadelphia Magazine that the union and SEPTA are in conflict over pension and health care issues. “TWU Local 234’s recent vote to authorize a strike is not an unusual step in the course of negotiations,” SEPTA said in a statement. “SEPTA is committed to bargaining in good faith with TWU Local 234 on a new contract that is fair to customers, employees and the taxpayers.” Jeff Kessler,SEPTA Youth Advisory Council executive chairman and a graduate student in both the Engineering and Law Schools, also said strike authorizations are not uncommon, and typically stem from negotiations over healthcare benefits and wage increases. Kessler said that authorizing a strike ahead of time is a commonly used strategyby the union during negotiations as a way of increasing their leverage over SEPTA. “It’s not uncommon for the union to hold a strike authorization vote in advance of when they’re legally permitted to strike because there are rules that govern when they’re able to strike,” he said. “In this case the first day that they could strike would be when the contract expires, which would be Nov. 1st.” Kessler said that he hopes the strike does SEE SEPTA PAGE 3

‘Friends don’t let friends vote for Trump,’ Clinton said JENNA WANG Staff Reporter

As temperatures dropped to the low fifties, Hillary Clinton campaigned in front of a crowd of over 7,000 people at Penn Park Saturday

night. Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, and running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) arrived around 8:30 p.m. from Pittsburgh to speak in Philadelphia. With the city skyline glittering behind her, Clinton criticized key traits in her opponent, Republican nominee and 1968 Wharton graduate Donald

Trump, and urged the crowd to vote on Nov. 8. “Friends don’t let friends vote for Trump,” she said. Early in her speech, Clinton thanked The Daily Pennsylvanian and the Wellesley College student papers for their recent editorial endorsements. “I said, wow, they’re really smart

at those two places, and I need to get there as soon as possible to thank them,” she said. Clinton referred to the DP as “The Pennsylvanian.” Pennsylvania Democratic senatorial candidate Katie McGinty, current senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.), SEE HILLARY PAGE 2

SOUL raises money for Haiti following hurricane

Why swing state Pennsylvania does not have early voting

Campaign aims to raise awareness of Hurricane Matthew’s Haiti impact

More than 37 states have some form of early voting

ROBERTA NIN FELIZ Contributing Repoter

CHARLOTTE LARACY Deputy News Editor

A clown, Insomnia cookies and the #jujuchallenge came together on Locust Walk last week as part of Students Organizing for Liberation’s Ferguson Friday demonstration. The demonstration was a part of SOUL’s larger campaign to raise money for Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. In addition to soliciting donations at Ferguson Fridays, the group is using a social media campaign to raise awareness and encourage donations. College senior and SOUL co-chair Julius Olalusi said the group wanted to highlight how students, and Americans in general, are largely unaware of how Hurricane Matthew has devastated Haiti. By the end of their month-long crowdfunding campaign, SOUL hopes to have raised $4,000 to help alleviate the damage Hurricane Matthew has done. Some estimates say that over 1,000 people have died and over 800 have been injured. “The motivation behind it was the lack of coverage of Hurricane Matthew in relation to Haiti,” said SOUL co-chair and College senior

The Democratic nominee touched on topics such as college debt, un iversa l pre-k inderga r ten education, systemic racism and cyber security during her speech. She also tore down Trump on a long list of topics, including his last presidential debate performance, where he refused to say he would accept the outcome of the election. “I’ve lost elections,” Clinton said. “You don’t feel good the next day. But we’ve always had a peaceful transfer of power. That’s the difference a democracy and a dictatorship.” Held at Dunning-Cohen Championship Field, the rally drew spectators from throughout Philadelphia and Penn’s campus. With the presidential election less than three weeks away, the line to the rally snaked around the field past Franklin Field and

Sicat and Ficerai-Garland said they both voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic primary, but were now supporting Clinton for the upcoming election. “We’re voting for Hillary,” Sicat said. “She’s the best choice right now.” Penn students also played a part in organizing the rally.

Dem Con connects College Democrats from across the nation

Activist Michael Smith keynoted Friday NATALIE KAHN Contributing Reporter

Ten universities worth of College Democrats gathered at Penn over the weekend for Dem Con — two days of social events, canvassing, phone banking, speakers and panels sponsored by the Penn Democrats, launching a final push for votes three weeks before election day. Michelle Peng, a Yale University sophomore and the Elections Coordinator of Yale Democrats, said what most excited her about Dem Con was meeting Democrats from other colleges and learning about activism around the Democratic Party at other schools. She noted how other schools seem to have a more substantial conservative presence on campus. She commented on what she called Penn’s “surprising amount” of conservatives and Bryn Mawr College’s “totally underground” Republican community.

Students gathered for Dem Con this weekend, a two-day event comprised of social events, canvassing, panels, and more.

“At Yale, we don’t have a lot of Republicans,” she said. “Seeing that spectrum and how we interact with the conservatives on campus — whether or not we interact — is interesting.” Peng said the Yale Democrats had wanted to travel to Philadelphia since last semester to canvass for this election. Coincidentally, the Penn Democrats started planning Dem Con last March, when College junior and Conference chair Sarah Hinstorff had the

idea to bring other universities’ chapters to Philadelphia for some last-minute activism before the vote. “We knew we’d be having very competitive elections,” Hinstorff said. Hinstorff recruited the keynote speakers over the summer. Her main concern, she said, was finding speakers who could connect to students’ interests. She’d also been emailing with the Clinton campaign about her event since

the spring, in hopes of bringing a surrogate. In a stroke of luck for the Penn Democrats, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her running mate Tim Kaine announced just days before the conference that they would speak at Penn Park that weekend. “We like to think we had something to do with it, but I don’t think we did,” College junior and Penn Democrats President Jana Korn joked. Minority rights and education activist Michael Smith was Friday’s keynote speaker. He was excited to impart “a great big thank you” to everyone at the conference for their work for the Democratic Party. He hoped to share his story and why he found this election so critical, in addition to leaving everyone “a little inspired.” “We’ve had once in a lifetime progress over the past eight years, and we have the ability to change the trajectory of our nation,” Smith told The Daily Pennsylvanian. “It’s in the balance of this election.”

Korn commented on why she believed Smith was a wise choice for the keynote speaker. “The election makes people very skeptical about politics,” she said. As Smith has spent his life working in the government, she found it fitting to listen to someone who “can tell us what public solutions to problems look like.” Saturday’s keynote speeches followed a discussion format — students sat in a circle with Rick Fromberg, the regional director of the Clinton campaign for Pa., Ohio and Va., as well as the National Millennial Director of the Clinton campaign, Sarah Audelo. They discussed this election’s importance to young people. The event’s panel discussions included public figures such as The Los Angeles Times Washington columnist Doyle McManus and Director for Community Schools at the Mayor’s Office of Education Susan Gobreski. Each focused on specific issues: the media, feminism and the integration of American schools. Hinstorff said she hoped this

weekend would mix “political advocacy and issue-based engagement.” In addition to hearing the speakers, the Dem Con participants canvassed in Philadelphia for three hours on Saturday morning for Hillary Clinton and Katie McGinty. Korn added that some of the universities in attendance, such as Harvard University, Georgetown University and Howard University, came from “non-competitive states,” so these students were “really looking to knock on some doors” and make a difference. Dem Con Media Coordinator and College sophomore Becca Taichman relayed the event’s greater significance: “This demonstration of young voter involvement and empowerment is really important for the broader world to see.” Keynote speaker Michael Smith agreed. “You guys are the catalyst for action,” he told the DP. “You know, one person that leaves this conference can probably affect thousands, if not tens of thousands,

Wharton grad leads polls in Utah, may upend presidential race

Utah last voted non-Republican in 1964 NICOLE RUBIN Staff Reporter

This election has seen many firsts, such as the nomination of a woman to lead a major party presidential ticket, the Harvard Republican Club’s refusal to endorse their party’s nominee and the refusal of a presidential candidate to release tax returns. Yet it still seems that the greatest first may be the unlikely success of independent candidate 2011 Wharton graduate Evan McMullin. McMullin has led recent polls in his home state of Utah, including one released by Emerson College on Oct. 19. If he were to win the state, it would be the first time Utah has elected a non-Republican presidential candidate since 1964, when its four electoral votes went in support of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Now, Utah has the opportunity to be pivotal in an election in which no one had pegged it for

NewsElections Unit John Lapinski said. “Often you see neighboring states making similar decisions. If you look at Pennsylvania, the state looks a lot like some of its neighbors. There is not a lot of early voting in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut or Virginia. For the most part, the northeast is not a place where there [is] early voting going on.” In Pennsylvania, it is not particularly easy to obtain absentee ballots, Lapinski said. He added, “For changes to happen in policy, there is usually some form of grassroots movement to push for it. If Pennsylvania is going to implement early voting, groups are going to have to get behind it in a pretty

a swing state. If McMullin snags Utah, he willbecome the first independent to win electoral votes in a general election since 1968, when Alabama Gov. George Wallace took Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana. Unlike the other two prominent candidates, McMullin’s historyis not public knowledge. The 40-year-old independent candidate is a Mormon from Provo, Utah. He attended Brigham Young University and earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Wharton in 2011. According to his website, McMullin worked in the CIA for about a decade and spent some time in investment banking. He later joined the House Committee on Foreign Affairs as a senior advisor and eventually became the Chief Policy Director of the House Republican Conference. “In a year where Americans have lost faith in the candidates of both major parties, it’s time for a generation of new leadership to step up,” McMullin said to ABC News after announcing his bid for the presidency.

In the Utah primary caucuses in March, Donald Trump garnered only 14 percent of the vote and landed in third place. While it is nearly impossible for a third-party candidate to

win the election directly, it is not entirely impossible for them to change the course of the election and deadlock the Electoral College. Though Utah’s current six electoral votes may not seem

significant way.” Both Democrats and Republicans are supportive of early voting, but tend to favor different forms. Registered Republicans vote by mail in larger numbers than Democrats, and Democrats use early in-person voting more often. Lapinski said one of the main benefits of early voting is that it makes voting easier to hopefully get more people to participate. And contrary to points made by Republican nominee Donald Trump, Lapinski said there is no evidence that early voting contributes to voter fraud. Besides a few instances on the margin, there is no evidence of large scale voter fraud in the United States. Critics of early voting have said that voters can cast their vote as early as two months

before the election, and in that time, voters can learn a lot about the campaigns or there could be an unexpected national or international news event , known as an “October surprise.” And once you cast your vote, you cannot take it back. Nevertheless, a bipartisan election commission convened by President Barack Obama concluded in January 2014 that states across the country should increase their use of early voting. Obama created the commission after a number of Americans waited hours in line to vote in the 2012 presidential election. The Brennan Center for Justice found that in the three states with the longest lines in 2012, precincts in minority neighborhoods were systematically deprived of the resources they

needed to make voting operate smoothly, including things such as voting machines and poll workers. According to CNN, many problems were also reported around Philadelphia in 2012. The nonpartisan election monitors from the independent Committee of Seventy said that two voting machines broke at one precinct on the city’s north side, forcing poll workers to issue provisional ballots. That slowed down an already long line, and at least 30 voters left. The number of early votes cast in the 2012 election was more than double those cast in 2000. Based on his calculations, Lapinski said that the patterns suggest that even more people will choose to vote early in the 2016 presidential election — just not in Pennsylvania.

COURTESY OF WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Independent candidate and 2011 Wharton graduate Evan McMullin has been rising in Utah polls, threatening Trump and Clinton.

like enough to tie up the 538 electors, experts say it may be possible. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to claim victory. Taking six electoral votes out of the race could leave either candidate hanging without a majority, in which case the election would be sent to Congress under the Twelfth Amendment. For Trump, this would only serve to narrow his already extremely tight path to the presidency. Though McMullin qualified to have his name on the ballot in only 11 states, winning even one of these states could upset the traditional electoral math. Unlike former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate who is drawing relatively equal levels of support away from Clinton and Trump, McMullin is largely drawing his support from Republicans who cannot stomach a Trump presidency. Trump has not been popular with Mormons, and a strong disavowal from 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who won

Utah by about 50 points, has not helped him either. In June 2016, two months before McMullin entered the race, The New York Times ran an op-ed entitled “Donald Trump’s Mormon Problem.” The article detailed how Trump’s qualities and values clash with Mormons’, who place a high value on chastity and hold “merciful views” on immigration. The Emerson College poll showed McMullin is polling strongest among younger voters. He has 36 percent of voters under 35 years old compared to Trump and Clinton’s equal 22 percent. The Emerson study also showed a decline in Republican support for Trump in Utah. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) won the Utah caucus with an impressive 69 percent of the vote. Of those Cruz supporters, 51 percent are backing McMullin and only 29 percent plan to vote for Trump. The same discontent that fueled Trump’s rise may now be creating blowback for him in a state that was never thought to be up in the air for Republicans.

not actually occur, adding that it seems as if all parties are trying to avoid that situation. “It really just depends on what SEPTA and the union are able to agree upon,” he said. Kessler added that SEPTA regularly deals with multiple unions, and that the company even has a labor

relations department that deals specifically with union contract negotiations. “Their entire staff is focusing on discussing this contract with the head of the TWU, Willie Brown, and their staff to effectively consider what are our options, what is or isn’t on the table and whether or not they’re able to come to terms before the end of their contract,” he said. The main concern about this

potential strike is the fact that it would take place so close to Election Day, Kessler said. “If there were to be a strike, it’s not so much that it would affect people’s ability to get to their polling place via SEPTA, but for those that don’t have other means of travel to get to their jobs,” he said. “They would have to leave their homes earlier and probably arrive at home later which could prevent them from getting to the polls with enough time to vote before the polls close.” Additionally, a strike by the TWU would have a substantial impact on transportation options

in the city due to the union’s large size. “The TWU is the largest of all of SEPTA’s unions,” Kessler said. “If that union were to go on strike, the Market-Frankford Line, all of the trolleys, the Broad Street Line and all of the buses that operate within the city of Philadelphia would be suspended.” Kessler did not predict that a strike would interfere with voter turnout on Election Day, as the strike would have to last at least seven days for that to be an issue. He said the most recent strike in Philadelphia only lasted for one day and had minimal impact.

I wasn’t going to make my friend accommodate my restrictions when his life was in danger. Well, speaking to my sick friend could be my requisite “act of kindness” for the day.

A cycle of mediocrity GOOD LUCK | Big wheel keep on turning As we all know, the presidential debates mark the tail end of the two-year-long campaign for president of the United States. With the cicada-esque lifespan of the campaign coming to an end, television networks across the country reap record ratings by broadcasting these debates. Some of you may still remember the debate from this past week, which drew 71 million viewers, and which represents the conclusion of the most-watched series of presidential debates in history. But does “most-watched” mean “best?” Based on the leading nature of that question, I think many of you would disagree. What is good for network ratings is not necessarily good for the democratic process. In fact, networks and viewers are mostly interested in seeing the candidates make public gaffes, which can be used to drive ratings through the coming weeks. While it is interesting to consider which one is the puppet (I’ll keep you in suspense), it is clear

that the “most-watched” metric is misleading in terms of quality. The above analysis is far from novel in popular political discourse. However, I contend that a similar thing could be said about our own community. Our president is quick to establish the waxing excellence of her subjects. With monotonically increasing GPAs and SAT scores in each successive class, one might think this would be the case. Yet one has to do little more than take a look around campus to see the failure of this narrative. The reality is that, more often than not, students fail to reach this supposed standard of excellence, by which I mean producing something of which one can be proud. Audit any given seminar and I am sure you will find a large number of students who have not done the assigned reading. In-class discussion is so stilted that some professors choose to eliminate the exchange entirely. Students throughout the room use their open lap-

tops to message each other, surf the web and, in some egregious cases, play Minecraft. And when it comes to term papers, few professors receive work that has not

their own volition, and have to prove their commitment to their seniors. So why is it that the standard of their striving is usually uninspiring? For example, when I saw

been hastily completed the night before. You might say, sure, some classes are more senseless than others. Maybe this behavior is sensible given that sector requirements sequester students into such seminars. Yet, if this was true, you would expect that excellence abounds among the student groups on campus. Students join these groups of

the Mask and Wig show I thought, “This is fine for student comedy.” Of course, a lot of work goes into producing the show and I think the group does a decent job overall, but I don’t think I can name a single professional performance that it surpasses. The same can be said for smaller endeavors that require little to no work behind the scenes. When I

tune in to any given WQHS radio show, I don’t find myself thinking, “You did your best.” So why is it that we find ourselves caught up in a socalled cycle of mediocrity? I would contend that it has to do with the demands of being a student at this University. It is transparent that there is no reward for excelling beyond what it takes to get an ‘A’ in any given course or senior position in any student group. In fact, the competent student optimizes the distribution of his or her effort. She knows not to exert herself when there will not be a corresponding impact in GPA. So why do the assigned readings or devote time to an extracurricular when you will not see a return on your investment? You would not be worse off if you spent that time playing Minecraft. In short, it is clear that allround excellence is hardly something the University should expect from its students considering the educational format that actively dissuades it. Furthermore,

HARRISON GLICKLICH I think it is a case of false advertising when Amy Gutmann claims, “You are an exceptional class, and you do nothing by half measures,” as she did in a recent commencement speech. That being said, I believe we are all more or less competent by merit of being admitted to this University. If you want to escape the cycle of mediocrity, you might want to try a little harder.

Last year’s crime records have been released by DPS Offenses varied from sexual assault to hate crimes CARL-EMMANUEL FULGHIERI Staff Reporter

Each year, the Division of Public Safety releases the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, as required by the Clery Act of 1990. This year’s report, which includes crimes that occurred in 2015, covers offenses as varied as sexual assault, drug referrals and hate crimes, and includes crimes committed to students who are abroad and to students on the Wharton School’s San Francisco campus. Disciplinary referrals for drug violations went down 48 percent in 2015, to 175 referrals. Drug

referrals were still much higher than in 2013, 2012 and 2011, which all had an average of 17 referrals. Disciplinary referrals for alcohol-related violations totaled 558, slightly more than the 550 referrals in 2014 and significantly more than the average of 218 referrals in 2013, 2012 and 2011. Penn uses the annual Clery report to announce policy changes and new programs related to student safety, discipline, alcohol and other drugs, At awareness and various other services. In accordance with the thE At Clery Act and the Department thE of Education’s oversight, it also informs prospective students and Penn parents about student safety. This year, Penn removed

sexual assault from the Office of Student Conduct’s oversight and expanded the Penn Violence Prevention office. A combination of many different organizations at Penn work with the Department of Public Safety to collect data on specific crimes as detailed by the Clery Act. “We are fortunate to have Penn Clery Compliance team to work with,” Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said. “We always want to ensure the accuracy of the report, which the team accomplishes.” However, not all the crime that occurs in the Penn Patrol Zone is reported as a result of the specific categories of crime that the Clery Act designates.

Two Penn student groups prepare to celebrate Diwali The holiday will be preceded by a week of events LAUREN SORANTINO Staff Reporter

With Diwali taking place this year on Saturday, Oct. 30, Penn students are planning a weeklong series of events in advance of the holiday. Two Penn student organizations, Penn Hindu and Jain Association and its graduate school counterpart, Penn Rangoliare, are collaborating to host the only Diwali event in Philadelphia that is open to the public. Diwali is a large yearly celebration for the South Asian community, which many people consider India’s most important holiday of the year. It is known as the Hindu festival of lights because many candles are lit

during Diwali celebrations to signify the victory of good over evil. This celebration has been historically linked to Hinduism, but has since grown in popularity so that Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and other religious groups all participate in the festivities. The two student organizations will host a pre-Diwali event on Tuesday, Oct. 25 in Huntsman Hall 350 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.. The event will feature Diwali-themed Jeopardy and other activities. Later that night, those in attendance will place small electric candles on the 38th Street Bridge near Huntsman Hall. The main event will occur on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the Hall of Flags in Houston Hall. The event will

include prayer, food, dancing and sparklers to celebrate the holiday. The Penn Hindu and Jain Association will also present information on why Diwali is celebrated. College and Wharton junior Shreya Jaggi expressed her excitement about the event. “Diwali represents a time for Hindus, Jains [and] Sikhs among other religious and culture communities to get together and celebrate!” she said in an email. “It is about new beginnings and ref lecting on the past.” She added, “At Penn’s annual celebration we have the opportunity to pray, learn about the significance of the festival of lights, dance and have a wonderful time with our university ‘family.’”

Olalusi said they wanted to make sure the money was going to the right place after word got out that the Red Cross only managed to build only 6 houses with a half billion dollars in donations. “We’re hoping this money can go straight towards youth and anyone directly affected by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti,” said Olalusi. SOUL is also concerned with re-imagining the story of Haiti, the first black Republic. “This campaign means a lot to us because of how much Haiti has been mistreated throughout

history. There have been so many ways Haiti has been screwed over by countries like France and the United States,” College sophomore and Ferguson Friday chair Mariama Diallo said. “It’s really disheartening to see.” SOUL is hoping to reach and educate many people through social media about how they can donate to relief efforts in Haiti, as well as the country’s history. “I just want people to know Haiti is more than just poverty and disaster,” College sophomore and SOUL public relations chair Kenja Farquharson said. “But right now, they do need our help and we should help them.”

CAPS groups made simple

Services are confidential, free, require no insurance

Students to teach new seminars Wharton classes discuss coding and Photoshop

CATHERINE DE LUNA Contributing Reporter

JINAH KIM Staff Reporter

College can be stressful, but Penn’s Counseling and Psychological Services is here to help. CAPS’ services are confidential, free and do not require Penn insurance. Here are some CAPS groups being offered this semester:

Penn likes to talk about what percentage of its classes are taught by teachers, but some Wharton students are seeking out classes taught by their own undergraduate peers. This semester, the Wharton Dean’s Undergraduate Advisory Board (WAB) is offering seminars in three areas: introduction to coding, financial modeling and design and Photoshop. The seminars last for five to eight weeks, and consist of hour-and-a-half-long classes every weekend. The class does not require homework, as it is meant to be a low-stress commitment, and does not give credit. While the seminars are not officially reserved solely for Wharton undergraduates, signup information was sent out only to the Wharton undergraduate listservs. “Our mission is improving academic undergraduate life for Wharton students, as part of the [WAB], but we didn’t specifically limit it,” Wharton senior Alex Sands said. “This semester, probably most of the people are in the classes are Wharton

It focuses on self-expressive therapy through art, prompting self acceptance and discussion. Mindfulness Skills Group Meets: Thursdays 12 p.m. 1:30 p.m., starting Oct. 27 and ending Nov. 17. This four week program guides students through various mindfulness practices. These mindfulness strategies are a great way to de-stress and cope with any personal issues. International Peer Support Group

IRINA BIT BABIK | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

Counseling and Psychological Services at Penn offer a variety of confidential, free support groups for Penn students.

Meets: Fridays 1 p.m. - 2 p.m. This support group is aimed at helping Mandarin-speaking students adjust to Penn life. The International Peer Support Group provides a space for students to discuss their experiences and gain skills to help them become accustomed to life in America.

Tell Us Your Story Meets: Oct. 27 (Other), Nov. 3 (Courage), Nov. 10 (Displaced), Nov. 17 (Hero) and Dec. 1 (Survivor). This group discusses issues of marginalization and discrimination at Penn through collaboration and storytelling. Each week is based on a different theme and is led by a trained CAPS employee.

students — but that’s not to say that in the future it will always be like that.” Sands, a member of the WAB, spearheaded the creation of the seminars last semester, as well as the expansion of the programs this year. He also teaches a seminar on learning to code. “[There were] a lot of times [when] ... students would want to learn something that’s maybe more applied than something you’d usually learn in your classes right now,” Sands said. “I figured, why not leverage Penn’s really amazing students that are able to teach these things ... and have students teach the other students?” Last year, the board only offered one seminar, on coding. This year, following positive feedback from participants, the board decided to expand the number of classes. The financial modeling class is taught by Wharton junior Aimun Malik, while the design class is taught by College senior Cody Min. The two classes were offered due to both high interest from students and the availability of other students to teach them. “We wanted to try this model at the undergrad level, and we knew that we had a great [WAB member] like Alex, who is a strong coder, [so] we knew that we could use his talents to teach

this,” Wharton senior and WAB member Justin Hash said. “And after that, once that class was a great success, we knew that there were other students who had great knowledge about Photoshop and design, and we could connect them with students who had interest in those skills.” Interest in the courses has been high, with 548 students signing up this semester. Because of the limited amount of space, enrollment is capped at 78 for the coding and modeling classes, which are taught as lectures, and 28 for the class on design. “All the students that sign up are interested in learning for the sake of learning,” WAB member and Wharton freshman Nicholas Amore said. “It’s like stress relief, almost, because [students] can ... learn a new skill that’s going to be helpful to them, but they don’t have the pressure of that entire semesterlong course and they don’t have to worry about midterms or anything like that.” The board expects to use feedback from this semester’s classes to determine what steps to take in the future. If the semester’s courses go well, the WAB is hoping to expand, possibly partnering with groups in other schools.

Late rally for Penn negated by another overtime loss

FIELD HOCKEY | Quakers rally from down two, lose ANDREW ZHENG Associate Sports Editor

Deja vu. Something the Quakers have become quite familiar with. Few feelings are quite as stinging as an overtime loss, a misfortune that Penn field hockey has experienced more times than it would have liked this season. For the second straight game, the Quakers overcame a 2-0 deficit to take the game past regulation — only to fall to an overtime winner and be sent home with a loss. This Saturday, Penn traveled to New Haven for its fifth Ancient Eight contest of the season. The match finished 3-2 when the Bulldogs found the net in the 84th minute. Going into the match, things looked to be on the side of the Red and Blue (9-5, 3-2 Ivy), who had won all of their previous Ivy League matchups except for one this season. That loss was also a 3-2 overtime affair, coming at the hands of Harvard at the beginning of the month. Yale (6-8, 2-3), on the other

on his way to 138 yards while junior receiver Marcus Jones added 95 yards and two touchdowns of his own. “We have a bunch of great receivers on the team,” Kelly said. “I think we’ve had the best receivers in recent memory, and I think just being able to have so many guys get open keeps the defense honest. They can’t put attention on any one player, and you know that in any situation, someone is going to be able to step up and make a play.” But despite the game’s score and all of the impressive individual statistics, the Red and Blue still thought they could have played better. “We had some mistakes, and

hand, only carried one conference win under its belt, a 7-4 thriller over Dartmouth. Fifteen minutes into the game with the Bulldogs, however, the Quakers realized that it would be no easy affair. It was a slow start to the game for coach Colleen Fink’s side, which was beaten by a penalty corner early in the game. With a little more than two minutes remaining the half, that deficit doubled when Yale found another goal to go up 2-0. Going into halftime, it’s hard to imagine that recollections of the Harvard contest were not going through the Penn players’ minds. “Unfortunately we’ve already had a handful of games like this in the season and had not learned from those experiences, and we did it again today,” Fink said. Going into the game, Fink says the game plan was to take a more conservative approach to defense that would allow the team to prevent one-on-ones, absorb pressure and release dangerous counters. A flat start to the game, however, had cost the team dearly. Three weeks ago against the Crimson, the Quakers were in a similar position going into halftime down 2-0. Fortunately, just like the Harvard match, the Red

and Blue were able to climb back in the second half. Sophomore attack Sofia Palacios opened the scoring for the Red and Blue just five minutes after coming out of the break. Eighty-one seconds later, junior Elise Tilton completed the comeback, tying the game at 2-2. Both goals came off attacking penalty corners — of which Penn ended the game with eight compared to Yale’s two. The second half brought out a reborn Red and Blue side, which outshot the Bulldogs, 11-2, contributing to an ending tally of 21-13 shots in favor of the visitors. “It was just taking a breath and reminding ourselves how bad we wanted it,” senior back Claire Kneizys said. “We came out with ‘it doesn’t matter what the score is, we’re going to fight our hardest.’” It was a dominant showing for the Quakers in the second half, but the team failed to find that third goal to clinch in it regulation, despite having numerous opportunities to do so. A great game from Yale goalie Emilie Katz and her defense certainly made it harder for the Red and Blue, but that did little to console what was undoubtedly a disappointing loss.

we had some things that we need to work on, and we know that we have to get ready for Cornell,” coach Bill Wagner said. “Honestly I think this was one of our weaker games offensively, just because the consistency wasn’t there,” McCurdy added. Though Penn might not be entirely pleased with their performance, fans in attendance would probably feel otherwise. The Quakers did not allow a single offensive touchdown with Chestnut Hill’s only score coming on a punt return, and, as a team, the Red and Blue outgained the Griffins, 491-131. Those who stayed for the entire game were also treated to the play of freshman quarterback Eddie Jenkins, who was subbed in for McCurdy in

the fourth quarter. Jenkins only got to run a couple of drives, but in his limited action, the rookie finished the game with two rushing touchdowns and 63 rushing yards on only four carries. While the Quakers look set at quarterback for the next three years with Jenkins at the helm, for now, Penn is entirely focused on finishing this season out undefeated to bring home its first CSFL championship since 2010. The Red and Blue’s next game comes again at home on Friday against Cornell, and the Quakers will conclude the season on the road against Post. So far, Cornell and Post have combined for just one win. And though the fear of a trap game is present, Penn will likely not be caught flat-footed.

Senior captain Elise Tilton scored the equalizer for Penn field hockey, tying the game after the Quakers went down 2-0, but it wasn’t enough as Yale managed to take away the winner with a sudden-death goal in overtime.

“I have utmost faith in our team in the overtime period, however, you don’t want to leave it to that,” Fink said. “We’ve done that far too many times this season. “We have to get it done in regulation and not leave it to fate, essentially. In my opinion, we

shouldn’t have been in that position today, but unfortunately we were.” Yale’s game winner came 14 minutes into overtime, closing that chapter of Ivy League play. “Obviously we’re really disappointed with the outcome,”

Kneizys said. There are still three games left on the docket for Penn — two of them Ivy matches — and the Quakers will have to strike a balance between learning from the loss and not letting it consume them.

Quakers look good at Red and Blue Scrimmages

HOOPS | Fans take in annual intrasquad games NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always a bad thing if you play yourself. On Saturday, both Penn basketball programs offered a glimpse into their state of affairs with the annual Red and Blue Scrimmages at the Palestra. The pair of intrasquad scrimmages offered a tuneup with the start of the seasons just three weeks away. Beginning with the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, fans got a chance to see a squad returning all five starters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it was the starters who controlled the day. Junior guard Lauren Whitlatch and senior forward Sydney Stipanovich logged 12 points apiece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Whitlatch all from range. But it was a rookie who led the way as Phoebe Sterba scored a

game-high 13 points for the Blue squad, getting sharing a team with all of last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starters as the Blues walked away with a 63-42 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phoebe can spread the floor. â&#x20AC;Ś Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to shoot the ball, she can pull up and shoot it, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really progressed,â&#x20AC;? womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach Mike McLaughlin said. As the Quakers come in to 2016 the likely favorite when the Ivy League preseason media poll comes out, the integration of the squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newcomers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like Sterba and center Emily Anderson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could well be the difference in living up to those expectations with so many known quantities returning to the roster. Sophomore Ashley Russell led scoring for the Red squad, putting up 10 points in the second half as McLaughlin confirmed her spot among the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be in our

rotation,â&#x20AC;? McLaughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She finds her way to the ball, she looks really good and practices really well.â&#x20AC;? For the men, freshman Devon Goodman made an early impact with the Blue squad, scoring 11 of his squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 20 points. Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance coupled with junior transfer Caleb Wood to propel the Blues to an 87-85 win, scoring 19 points to go along with a game-high 30 from Wood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like the moment doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother [Wood] at all,â&#x20AC;? menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach Steve Donahue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just plays basketball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those kids that just enjoys it.â&#x20AC;? With Coach Steve Donahue splitting his returners between the two squads more than McLaughlin, play stayed relatively tight early until a long run by the Blues offered some separation before 19 second-half points for the Reds from sophomore Jake Silpe helped narrow

PENN 3

things again. Leading the way for the Red squad was sophomore Jackson Donahue with 25 points. Other than Silpe and Donahue, it was freshman Ryan Betley who produced the scoring for the Reds, putting up 16 points including a put-back that brought the game within two in the final 10 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think from starting two weeks ago until today, [Betley and Goodman] have made great progress,â&#x20AC;? Donahue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they both have great potential. â&#x20AC;Ś Honestly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing stuff a this point that I thought would take a couple months with how they both played.â&#x20AC;? In his first pseudo-game since transferring to Penn, junior Matt MacDonald added 16 points for the Blue, including 10 at the line. The women will open up the year on the road at Duke on Nov. 13, two days after the men kick things off on the road against Robert Morris.

Omitaomu, Mitrikin score first career goals as Penn shuts out Yale M. SOCCER | Quakers

erase tough recent losses

MATT FINE Associate Sports Editor

After conceding four goals to both Villanova and Dartmouth during a three-game losing skid, Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer righted the ship on Saturday against Yale. The Quakers blanked the Bulldogs by a score of 3-0 on goals from Dami Omitaomu, Gideon Metrikin and Alec Neumann. For Omitaomu and Metrikin, their goals were the first in their collegiate careers. Despite the Red and Blue being outshot, 11-6, Penn (44-5, 2-2 Ivy) was clinical with

their chances. Yale (2-7-2, 1-2-1) hit the crossbar on a header just two minutes, but instead of sitting back, the Quakers responded with an offensive attack of their own, culminating in Omitaomu deflecting in a Erumuse Momoh cross just over five minutes into the first half. Metrikin in the 29th minutes scored from 25 yards out thanks to a Joe Swenson cross, and captain Alec Nuemann scored in the 65th minute to put the game out of reach. Despite the offensive outburst, the team was proud of their clean sheet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the shutout was something the team was really focused on,â&#x20AC;? Penn coach Rudy Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were

disappointed with the goals we conceded in the prior two matches. And obviously to get the three goals in this game was nice too.â&#x20AC;? The Quakers had to get past a Yale team that came out hot from the opening whistle, peppering the Penn nets with early shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of Yale shots came really early, maybe in the first five to 10 minutes,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took us a little bit to find out feet and get into the game, but they settled in very well. Once we got that first goal, it really settled us down.â&#x20AC;? This late in the season, most teams know which players to rely on for the highest goal production. For the Quakers though, goals in this game came

from both first timers (Omitaomu and Metrikin) and the expected scoring veteran (Nuemann). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important for Gideon and Dami and guys like to commit to going forward. I said it all along, this is a process,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. This team is continuing to figure out who it is and how good it can be, and this past week has really tested that. To come out with a 3-0 on the road in a conference game

is a testament to the hard work theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in.â&#x20AC;? Maybe the best part of the night for the Red and Blue, other than the win of course, was the camaraderie of Penn Athletics on the road in New Haven. With football, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer and field hockey all at Yale over the weekend, the teams had a chance to support one another even though they were on the road.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really, really pleased to get around and fit in the football game last night, along with field hockey and have women soccer stick around to lend their support to our guys,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very special and I think it shows you what type of community we have in Penn athletics with athletes supporting athletes.â&#x20AC;? Between the scoring and the support, Saturday was a great night for Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer.

into safety. In discussing her increased workload in net, she emphasized the importance of not getting caught up thinking about any particular moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[That save] really gave me a lot of confidence, but at the same time I need to refocus and think about the next play,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example the next play was a corner, so I was trying to focus on organizing everyone so we could preserve the shutout.â&#x20AC;?

Some may have expected Penn to park the bus towards the end and settle with a point on the road, but coach ensured fans that will not be the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think our mentality for the rest of the year is going to be that [taking a draw]. We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of being one of the top teams in the conference,â&#x20AC;? Van Dyke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a few changes in the second half when Yale was having some success, but ultimately the last thing this team will do is settle for a tie at this point in the year. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not gonna win conference, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

gonna finish as high as we can. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not gonna stop fighting till the end.â&#x20AC;? The end is coming near for the Red and Blue, who have only two Ivy league games left and a trip to Army on Monday for the rest of their 2016 campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undefeated on the road and it builds on itself,â&#x20AC;? Sands said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are gaining a lot of confidence now, going into Army, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really close as a team and we just wanna get back out there.â&#x20AC;? With the form theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in on the road, Penn may not want to get off the bus anytime soon.

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

With her score in the 80th minute of Penn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saturday contest, freshman Emily Sands was able to put the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone tally on the board as the Quakers edged out Yale, 1-0, to stay undefeated on the road.

MAN ON A MISSION PENN 42 7 YALE

WATSON LOGS CAREER-BEST 166 YARDS, 3 TDS IN ROUT

NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — It was a beautiful night for football, but it was not a beautiful game of football. In what could best be described as a total rout, Penn football extended its nine-game conference winning streak on Friday with a 42-7 win over Yale. A national TV audience got to see the first-ever true night game held at the Yale Bowl, but what they witnessed was an entirely one-sided affair. The Bulldogs (1-5, 1-2 Ivy) shouldn’t have needed to look at too much tape to know what the Quakers (4-2, 3-0 Ivy) were going to throw at them. Namely, that would be junior wide receiver Justin Watson.

Late goal powers Penn to win, stay undefeated on road

YOSEF WEITZMAN

Looking to play spoiler to Penn sprint football’s championship pursuit, Chestnut Hill came ready to throw everything they had at the Quakers. Unfortunately for the Griffins, the Quakers were simply better. Way better. Behind senior quarterback Mike McCurdy’s 339 total yards and five passing touchdowns, the Red and Blue jumped out to a 20-0 first quarter lead and never looked back, winning by a final score of 53-7. For Penn (5-0), it was a dominant performance in a game the Quakers needed to win to keep their undefeated championship hopes alive. But for the Griffins (2-3), who are in just their second season in the Collegiate Sprint Football League, the result was a grim reminder of just how far they still have to

It didn’t matter. In the first half alone, Watson torched Yale for 160 yards and three touchdowns on just nine receptions. He added one catch for six yards in the second half, but the damage was done. The Bulldogs had no answer, and the 35-0 halftime score reflected that fact. “Christian Pearson has been playing his butt off,” Watson said. “I think they kind of keyed in on him this week, which they should, because he’s a great player. He had two touchdowns last week. I think whoever has the best matchup, we’re gonna go to.” Junior running back Tre Solomon got the scoring started with a three-yard run after Penn linebacker Matt Henderson recovered a fumble

Forget about home-field advantage. On the road is where Penn women’s soccer thrives, as the Quakers extended their unbeaten stretch to 4-0-1 while traveling. The Quakers narrowly pulled off a 1-0 victory up at Yale in New Haven on Saturday afternoon. Out in the wind and rain, the teams battled back and forth, with the Bulldogs (5-6-3, 1-3-1 Ivy) forcing freshman goalkeeper Kitty Qu into action five times amidst their 11 shots. Penn (8-3-2, 2-2-1) weathered the storm, and the deadlock was finally broken in the 79th minute, courtesy of freshman Emily Sands’ precise finish on

a well-orchestrated corner from junior Erica Higa. With the clock ticking down, Yale’s freshman Aerial Chavarin appeared to have scored, but the goal was disallowed because of a foul, allowing Penn to wrap up all three points. A win is a win, and Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke was certainly impressed with how her team managed to find a way through the heavy opposition, especially considering their farfewer goals in the second half of matches this year. “The reality of it is we didn’t play our best possession of the year. It was wet and a bit sloppy, and Yale was a bit chippy and physical, which sometimes takes away the beauty of the game,” she said. “We made sure to match that and capitalize on any chances we had. There was no special formula, we just needed to do better with the ball.” The goal came off one of Penn’s four corner kicks, and the team took advantage of the dead ball to employ a little trickery to set the striker up for the shot. “We talked all week about

how any corner kick or set piece opportunity would be to our advantage, so we did something we’ve run a bunch of times, and Sands put it away,” Van Dyke said. Sands had plenty of training for that attack plan but credited the setup to give her the open look. “We practice that one a lot. It was a great pass by Higa, and I was just happy to finish it,” she said. This was the Quakers’ seventh shutout this season, an indication of the success of the back line and shot-stopper thus far, and the trip to Yale was no exception. “Kitty Qu made some exceptional saves tonight, keeping us in the game, and that’s what a good goalkeeper is supposed to do,” Van Dyke said. One particular heart-stopping moment came when Yale’s freshman midfielder Geneva Decker sent a rocker destined for the top shelf from 25 yards out, but Qu soared to get fingertips on the ball and send it over the bar and SEE W.
