The position for Director of Student Sexual Violence Prevention and Education was proposed in the Commission on Student Safety, Alcohol and Campus Life. Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price accepted the proposal in February of this year.

Mertz said that she is frequently asked if there is a

great need for Penn to allocate resources towards sexual violence prevention and allocation. Her answer is that “sexual violence is not any more of an issue at Penn than in higher education in general.”

Influence of advisory board to SFS uncertain HUIZHONG WU Staff Writer

A proposed student financial aid advisory board, set to be formed next semester after a delay, is supposed to ensure student voices will be heard at Student Financial Services.

While details about the board’s role — such as whether students will have direct input on SFS’ financial aid policies or not — are still under review, some think that having a formal structure can improve the status quo in increasing communication with administrators.

“The benefits are ... you will have some official representation and some daily contact with administrators,” said former United Minorities Council political chair Jesus Fuentes, a College senior. “You’ll have physical bodies that they’ll have to meet with.”

But, as with other advisory boards at Penn, it’s not clear how much influence the board

While the decriminalization of marijuana takes effect in Philadelphia on Oct. 20 , the issue of medical marijuana in Pennsylvania has been making its way to the forefront of the gubernatorial election.

Remarks in Pennsylvania’s last gubernatorial debate indicate that the outcome of the governor’s race could decide whether medical marijuana becomes legal in the state in the near future.

“I do not support the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes,” Republican Governor Tom Corbett said in the Oct. 8 debate, largely avoiding the issue of medical marijuana. “It is a gateway drug that creates all of the drug problems that we are seeing in Pennsylvania and the United States.”

“We need to legalize medical marijuana immediately,” Democratic candidate Tom Wolf responded. However, he stopped short of supporting completely legalizing

marijuana. “I think we ought to see what happens in places like Colorado and Washington before we decide to go any further with the legalization of recreational marijuana, however.”

Medical marijuana was debated on Oct. 8 — the first time the issue was ever raised in a Pennsylvania gubernatorial debate — in response to the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act, which passed the state Senate 43-7 on Sept. 24 . The bill would legalize medical marijuana in the form of oils, edibles and ointments , but would not legalize smoking marijuana for medical

purposes .

“Medical cannabis is absolutely crucial to a countless number of people in Pennsylvania — veterans that have PTSD, kids that have seizure disorders, cancer patients, HIV/ AIDS patients,” said Steven Hoenstine , director of communications and deputy director of legislative affairs for state Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery) , a cosponsor of the senate bill.

“People continue to see that this is something that is necessary and needed immediately, and that every day, YOLANDA CHEN/NEWS PHOTO EDITOR

we wait more people suffer,” Hoenstine added. “Whether or not the trend has an effect on the election, I’ll leave that up to the pundits.”

The bill faces a tougher challenge in the Republican-controlled state House of Representatives. The House Judiciary and Health committees have indicated that they will be holding hearings on the proposed legislation before the bill goes to a vote, but House leadership has not set up any specific timetable for those hearings.

“The members need to know what’s in the legislation, and frankly I think the public needs to know what’s in the legislation,” said Stephen Miskin , spokesman for House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R-Allegh-

eny), who controls the agenda of the House. “The committees wants to learn exactly what is in the legislation — is it good legislation or not? From a first blush, it’s highly questionable legislation.”

“Tom Wolf — talk about a liberal’s liberal,” Miskin added.

“He is basically for opening up medical marijuana like California, and that’s what this legislation does.”

While medical marijuana hasn’t been a central issue in the gubernatorial election thus far, Pennsylvanians have increasingly favored medical marijuana. According to a poll

by Quinnipiac University taken in March 2014, 85 percent of Pennsylvania voters support some form of medical marijuana.

Beyond issues regarding drug policy, Pennsylvania voters re-

main dissatisfied with Corbett heading into the final month of the campaign.

In a Mercyhurst Center for Applied Politics poll from Sept.

24, 31 percent of Pennsylvanians said they approve of his job performance, while 51 percent disapprove . According to a New York Times/CBS News/ YouGov poll earlier this month, Wolf leads Corbett by 9 percentage points .

As changes to state and local marijuana laws are being considered and enacted around the country, Penn’s Code of Student Conduct will continue to prohibit the use of any illegal drugs on campus. Since the use of marijuana remains a federal crime, it is unlikely that Penn will allow usage on campus, regardless of whether Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana bill becomes law.

Deus ex metro

THE FAITHLESS QUAKER | What is it that makes people so defensive about their religious views?

I

was on my morning commute to work two summers ago when my Metro car experienced technical difficulties. We were temporarily stuck underground.

I noticed a lady across from me looking upward, almost as if through the ceiling. Stuck motionless in the dark, she fixed her eyes on the heavens.

I wondered what was going through her mind. Did she think a humongous hand would reach down and scoop her out of the car? Was she hoping that god would command the brakes magically back to working order?

Then the brutal honesty of her situation hit me. Whatever promises she was preparing to make to the Prayer Receptacle, she probably knew that they wouldn’t last. Neither did she likely know or care about the mechanics of the Metro. It wasn’t about the details; those were all just the furnishings of a simple, honest calling out.

I had all but forgotten

that morning until earlier this week, when I watched Ben Affleck duke it out with philosopher Sam Harris on Bill Maher’s show. Harris argued that we shouldn’t let fear of offend-

they might technically be the most faithful observers of their sacred texts). Apparently, to be troubled by the fundamentalist implications of a religious sect is tantamount to bigotry.

Trusting in a supernatural guardian shields people from uncertainty and death.

It offers simple and palatable answers to complicated questions. It paints the universe in personal shades.” ing religious people prevent us from speaking out against the dangers of organized religion, especially when they call for the return of political and religious totalitarianism.

Having barely given Harris the chance to speak, Affleck seemed to consider himself qualified to call Harris “racist.” He argued that we shouldn’t judge an entire religion based on a couple of crazies (despite the fact that

Affleck missed his opponent’s point, though. Harris wasn’t saying that all practitioners of Islam are evil. He was saying that their religious ideology is conducive to radical interpretation and therefore dangerous.

It’s a little baffling that debates such as these are so controversial. If I were to criticize college football or even a political party, it would seem odd to scold me for being

“bigoted” against athletes or Republicans. There’s something deeply personal about religious belief that sets it apart from other kinds of views. For better or worse, it’s a response to the deepest anxieties of the human condition.

As I watched Affleck bare his teeth, I saw glimmers of the lady on the Metro so many months back. In that moment, her faith didn’t rest on justification. It wasn’t about reasons.

She just wanted comfort. She was scared.

People believe in god in spite of the evidence, not because of it. They don’t care if it’s sensible or not; it’s a matter of what reassures them. Trusting in a supernatural guardian shields people from uncertainty and death. It offers simple and palatable answers to complicated questions. It paints the universe in personal shades.

When the faithful are told that their beliefs are frivolous, they believe that their sincerest needs and fears are being undermined. Fear of death and

the desire for meaning are raw, human instincts and we should recognize and approach them with compassion as best we can.

That said, the personal nature of religious belief doesn’t excuse it from the hot seat of free expression and intellectual discourse. To witch-hunt people who criticize religion is to say that an opinion is more valuable than the freedom to express one’s discontent — and no idea should ever be put before a human being.

To be a bigot means to give less moral consideration to one or several people based on demographics. Criticizing someone’s beliefs doesn’t mean I consider them morally inferior. If anything, the fact that I expect them to listen to my reasons and debate with me reflects a certain respect for them as an individual.

Supernatural attempts at finding a solution aren’t themselves sacred. We must instead drop the barriers, acknowledge our collective struggle and

JONATHAN IWRY commit to finding answers as honestly as possible.

I still think about that lady from time to time. Beneath her silent prayer was something true and relatable. I didn’t have to pray with her, and I don’t have to admire her piety. But perhaps I should have offered her my hand.

YOUR VOICE An open letter to Penn’s international community

A

s representatives of the International Student Advisory Board , we want to reach out to the Penn community in response to two guest columns, namely those authored by Ghinwa Moujaes (Sept.

28, 2014) and Sean Massa (Oct. 4, 2014), published by The Daily Pennsylvanian over the last few weeks. In both columns, students describe how they have been let down as members of Penn’s internationally minded community, whether as an international student or as a student interested in international opportunities.

We are pleased that students have chosen to share their perspectives via the DP, and we encourage all students to make their voices heard in whichever way makes them feel most comfortable.

We want all members of Penn’s internationally minded community to know that ISAB is another venue for you to share your thoughts.

ISAB is a University-wide organization representing all members of Penn’s internationally minded community, whether undergraduate or graduate, from all 12 schools. We have been active for the last eight years under the stewardship of International Student and Scholar Services Director Rudie Altamirano, working with administrators to shape policy and enhance international student welfare here at Penn. We are generously supported by Penn Global and Vice Provost for Global Initiatives Zeke Emanuel. We would like to thank both Penn Global and ISSS for their contributions to our work and continuous efforts to improve the international student experience.

We are here to serve all members of the internationally minded community by working to improve international student policy. We are dedicated to taking on the commitment of working to make the international student experience the best it can be. Furthermore, as we work closely with offices across campus, we are strongly equipped with the connections to enact change for students. We always want to hear from Penn’s internationally minded community to shape our focus, direct our efforts and ensure we work toward what is truly important.

In order to gather feedback from this community, we will be holding a Town Hall meeting in November. Details of the event will be publicized soon. You will all be welcome to share your thoughts and tell us what is important to you so that we can work to improve your experience at Penn.

What is important to you is important to all of us, and the important things should not wait. That’s why you should feel free to email us — penn.isab@gmail. com — and ISSS Director Rudie Altamirano — rudiea@upenn.edu — at any time.

Let’s engage in dialog and make sure that every student’s voice is heard.

An undocumented history

YESSI CAN | The plight of undocumented citizens is the plight of a nation coming to terms

O

ne phrase that gets used often in discussions about immigration today is that the United States is a nation of immigrants. Advocates for immigrants rights — and especially undocumented immigrant rights — use this phrase often to remind the vast majority of people of their non-native origins and put all forms of immigration, whether documented or not, on equal footing.

However, what this phrase leaves out is that undocumented immigration does not exist in a void — often it stems from deliberate foreign policies pursued by the United States.

My family comes from Guatemala, a small Central American country many Penn students might know from their international public health summer internships.

The United States has had a long standing tradition of intervention in Guatemala. In 1954, the U.S. government aided the overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan President, Jacobo Arbenz. Arbenz had confiscated a large portion of land belonging to the United Fruit Company that was not being cultivated, offering the company the amount they had declared on their taxes. The company, with support from the U.S. State Department, countered with a figure more than 13 times that amount.

When Arbenz remained steadfast in his offer, the U.S. government, which had officials with ties to the United Fruit Company, de-

with its own mistakes

cided to aid the overthrow of the Arbenz government, providing training, financing and CIA support for the coup.

The governments that followed implemented repressive policies, and the country suffered under the longest civil war in the region, lasting 36 years.

the U.S. was obsessed with eradicating any sign of Communism, especially so close to home.

Of course, this analysis was extremely limited, since rebels against the Guatemalan government were largely reacting to years of economic exploitation and rampant independently veri-

YESSENIA GUTIERREZ

Undocumented immigrants are a part of U.S. history because U.S. policy has directly affected conditions necessitating the immigration of millions of people to a country with a large role in their own dislocation.”

Talking about the huge jump in the number of Central American immigrants to the U.S. in “Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America,” journalist Juan Gonzalez wrote, “This sudden exodus did not originate with some newfound collective desire for the material benefits of U.S. society; rather, vicious civil wars and the social chaos those wars engendered forced the region’s people to flee, and in each case, the origins and spiraling intensity of those wars were a direct result of military and economic intervention by our own [U.S.] government.”

The United States’ role in the region was politically biased; the Guatemalan civil war was denied as sufficient grounds to grant political asylum because the rebels in the country were believed to be Communists during a time when

fied human rights abuses.

I come from a family who lost family members as a result of this war, whose family members’ lands were confiscated by the government and who were displaced from their homes, both within the country and to other countries, including Belize and the United States.

The history of Guatemala is not entirely unique — U.S.backed instability in the country is characteristic of U.S. government policy in the region.

Owing to this history, it is incredibly naive of the U.S. to think their heavy-handed policies in the past will have no effect on the present.

The U.S. is not just dealing with an estimated 12 million people who are undocumented and over 16 million who are in mixed-

status families. It is dealing with its own past and culpability. As citizens of this country, we need to push the country to face up to its mistakes and its economic and military role in the deaths of people across the region at the hands of dictatorial governments.

Undocumented immigrants are a part of U.S. history not simply because immigrants as a whole are a part of U.S. history.

Undocumented immigrants are a part of U.S. history because U.S. policy has directly affected conditions necessitating the migration of millions of people to a country with a large role in their own dislocation.

This isn’t about the U.S. being benevolent by adopting immigration reform — this is about it understanding that with its level of power and influence, there will always come consequences and obligations.

DPS investigates cyclist incident A woman claimed the Penn Police officer who stopped her used excessive force HARRY COOPERMAN & JILL CASTELLANO City News Editor & Senior Writer

The Division of Public Safety is investigating an incident of a Penn Police officer allegedly using excessive force against a woman riding her bicycle on campus.

After the bicyclist, Sarah Rodriguez, ran a red light as she was riding through the 36th and

Spruce intersection, a Penn Police officer who had been waving for her to pull over collided with her and caused her to fall sideways near the intersection of 38th Street and Woodland Walk.

According to Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush, Rodriguez was “barreling” through the intersection and nearly hit multiple pedestrians when the Penn Police officer got on his bicycle and followed her.

The situation escalated soon after Rodriguez and the police officer began talking. According to a video of the incident on CBS’s website, Rodriguez saw

a can of pepper spray in the officer’s hand and asked, “You’re going to pepper spray me?

Holy (expletive).” The officer responded, “Yeah, holy (expletive).”

Rodriguez eventually called 911 and the officer called for backup. When a second officer arrived at the scene, he used gay slurs while demanding that Larry, the person recording the incident, stop, Rodriguez told CBS. DPS is currently enforcing its Share the Road campaign, which the division institutes every so often to encourage pedestrian, bicyclist and driver safety.

The campaign includes stopping bicyclists who violate the law, educating them and handing out tickets.

“It is not easy for officers receiving abuse from bicyclists who decide they’re not going to stop at a red light or not going to stop at a crosswalk,” Rush said.

DPS is investigating both the alleged excessive force and the alleged use of gay slurs.

At the end of her encounter with Penn Police, Rodriguez received a ticket for running the red light, but she still felt that the officer’s actions were unnecessary and utilized “excessive force,” she told CBS.

are at a greater risk for sexual violence,” Mertz said.

In her new role, Mertz will use this academic year to plan.

She has created a student advisory board and will work closely with student groups that want to be involved with peer education, including One in Four and ASAP: Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention.

Mertz will also be collaborating with the Undergraduate Assembly, graduate students and international students to ensure that the breadth of Penn’s community is reached.

Mertz will also continue collaborating with various administrative departments at Penn.

“I will probably meet with her at least weekly, with all the different, various departments around campus. And if it’s not in person, then it’ll be on the phone,” Brennan said. “I don’t think there will be any changes [to our relationship], but better collaboration,” Brennan added. “It’ll be seamless, enhanced collaboration.”

According to Penn’s crime report, eight incidences of rape, five incidences of domestic violence and three incidences of dating violence were reported on campus in 2013.

Sexual violence comprises a range of behaviors, including different forms of unwanted contact, such as groping and lewd, unwanted sexual contact. “Tools most often used are coercion, manipulation and taking advantage of incapacitation,” Mertz said.

“Anybody who knows me or who has worked with me knows that these are the issues that I’m very passionate about,” Mertz said.

When Mertz graduated from Saint Joseph’s University in 2005, a classmate of hers was killed by her classmate’s boyfriend. That event “kicked off a career.”

“This has always been a path for me,” Mertz said.

Mertz’s new role was created at the same time the national conversation on sexual violence began. Director of Special Services in the Division of Public Safety Patricia Brennan said that Mertz’s position is timely with the White House’s renewed focus and resurgence of Title IX and the Clery Act, which requires universities to disclose crime data. Despite national attention, both Mertz and Brennan said that Penn is ahead of the trend. Even without pressure from the White House, Penn was set to create the new position for Director of Student Sexual Violence Prevention and Education.

“The new position allows me to spend all of my time focused on [issues of sexual violence prevention and education] to make a strategic plan and build upon what I think are already successful efforts,” Mertz said.

Mertz said that the Women’s Center has been doing a lot of work to address these issues already, but she wants to expand the media campaign, make resources and counseling accessible online, as well as build a comprehensive bystander program. Mertz said that sexual violence is a community problem, not an individual problem. Mertz wants “the bigger picture, the bigger strategic plan” to engage the community to recognize their responsibility.

September crime sees moderate increase from last year Overall year-to-date crime is up 7.4 percent as compared to 2013 JILL GOLUB Staff Writer

Crime this September saw a marginal increase from the past year of only 3.4 percent.

However, there was a larger increase in crimes against property — such as thefts and burglaries — due to a spike in burglaries and an increase in thefts from cars.

This September there was a sevenfold increase in burglaries, from only one in September 2013 to seven last month. The burglaries occurred mainly in the western part of the Penn Patrol Zone.

Last week, the Division of

Public Safety issued a safety advisory that DPS was investigating several burglaries in houses from 38th to 40th streets between Baltimore Avenue and Pine Street.

Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said that DPS thinks that the burglaries are all related, but that Penn Police is not sure how many suspects have been perpetrating them.

There was an 85.7 percent increase in thefts from automobiles from last September to last month, which DPS is currently investigating.

Crimes against people — such as robberies and assaults — are also down this September, with 37.5 percent fewer than last year at this time. Robberies saw a moderate decrease from last September: only one

was reported in September 2014, while three were reported in September 2013.

Bike thefts still continue to be a problem on campus: 25 were reported this September, an increase of 8.6 percent from the 23 reported last September. However, Rush said DPS has a very good lead on arresting a man who police believe is responsible for some of these thefts.

DPS recommends that bike owners register their bikes on the Campus Express website so that if their bike is stolen and then found by DPS, they can call them and the complainant can be arrested.

Overall crime since the start of the year is also slightly up by 7.4 percent, as compared to the year-to-date crime in 2013.

will have on creating change. For example, students on the Dining Advisory Board weighed in on who they thought should replace Einstein Bros Bagels in Houston Hall. However, when the board was approached, it had no power to decide whether Einstein Bros was leaving — that decision had already been made.

In the case of the financial aid advisory board, this entity could help students by creating a space focused on their general concerns regarding financial aid — something which currently does not exist at Penn.

“As staff, we usually think we know all the concerns, but it does help to know what issues the students are facing that we may be overlooking,” said former Director of Financial Aid William Schilling, who spoke generally about how SFS communicates with the student body.

In the past, Schilling said, there were attempts to bring together focus groups of students, but “it was very hard to get that going on a continual basis for a very long time” because of scheduling difficulties. The proposed board offers wider structure to what’s currently in place: a system of SFS liaisons with minority groups on campus.

For some in Penn’s minority communities — which has led the charge to create the advisory

board — this step has been a long time coming, marking an attempt by administrators to listen to what students have to say about their financial aid.

The creation of the ninemember board follows two years of discussions about financial aid problems in student minority communities. The advocacy started for Undergraduate Assembly President and College senior Joyce Kim, a former chair of UMC, when she heard about how one student could not register for classes because he was waiting for his financial aid package.

Simultaneously, other 5B groups — Penn’s main cultural umbrella organizations — like the Lambda Alliance were also hearing concerns about financial aid problems from their communities.

These student leaders then came together and brought the idea of a formal advisory board to current Director of Financial Aid Joel Carstens in 2013.

The creation of the board, though, has not been as quick as students had wanted. In original discussions last year, the idea was to launch the board in early fall 2014, but when students came back to campus this fall the board was not ready to be launched — which was met with criticism.

“I was speaking with people from our past board and they heard the same rhetoric, like, ‘It’ll be developed in a semester.’ Hearing the same thing a year later is

NEWS 9

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2014 really frustrating,” UMC Chair and College senior Reggie Stewart said in a previous interview.

After bringing up their concerns with communication with SFS to other administrators, Kim said they were able to get a response.

“Although our experience with SFS has admittedly not been the best, I think they’re now more open to engaging with us,” Kim, a College senior, said, noting that students were able to make suggestions for edits for the proposed board’s constitution.

Kim feels that this board will make a difference. “Although their work may not really be publicized, and they may not be noticed, I think the work [advisory boards] do makes a lot of impact,” she said.

Carstens said in an email statement that it was “premature” to comment on what role the advisory board will play, though he added that “all comments and suggestions of the Student Financial Services Advisory Board will be fully considered by the University of Pennsylvania.”

However, some students say the advisory board does not go far enough.

The long term goal, Fuentes said, “spans beyond SFS” and goes further than the advisory board. “[We] should be taking a hard look at its policies, its infrastructure and its staff, and [be] able to honestly evaluate it.”

16 women share their stories

Their book seeks to influence gifted black women on campus

BY JILL MOELY Contributing Writer

PATRICK GOODRIDGE/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

EGG DONOR NEEDED

A team of black undergraduate women and alumnae are out to fill a need on campus — one story at a time.

In order to influence and lead talented black undergraduate women through their first years of college, 17 female students and alumnae collaborated to share their experiences through a collection of short stories.

The book, “Climbing Vines,” is composed of 17 separate narratives. They are rich and relatable pieces, and each aims to generate a dialogue about

the experience of black undergraduate females on campus in a time when it is sorely needed.

“Climbing Vines” is as much of a commemoration as it is a call to action, however.

“I think ‘Climbing Vines’ is a great way to celebrate the black female presence on Penn’s campus,” Managing Editor of “Climbing Vines” and 2012 College graduate Courtney Paul said. ”It can be comforting, rallying, entertaining and surprising to discover the experiences of other people who share a common reality: We are all black women who went or are currently going to the University of Pennsylvania.”

The book has an audience beyond the black community as well.

“It’s not only meant for

black undergraduate women,” Executive Editor of “Climbing Vines” and 2012 College graduate Janay Sylvester said.

“I think that there are so many things that are enlightening and thought-provoking in the educational context for undergraduate women on campus, period.”

And this is indeed true: In a book that discusses everything from sex to identity to the sophomore slump, there’s something for everyone.

“Any undergraduate student can find something to latch onto in the book,” Sylvester added.

“Climbing Vines” was released in September and the book is free and available at Makuu — Penn’s black cultural center — in Penn’s ARCH building.

This Week in Penn History: Hip City Veg opens The eatery’s plant-based menu has fared well with Penn students Hip City Veg’s campus location celebrated its first birthday over fall break.

The store on 40th and Walnut streets is Hip City’s second location, after a smaller storefront on 18th Street near Rittenhouse Square. The Rittenhouse location opened in the spring of 2012.

Plans for the University City location were first announced in summer 2013.

The eatery has an all vegetarian and vegan-friendly menu, and is perhaps best known for its “groothies,” or green smoothies. It replaced Won Oriental Restaurant, which occupied the location until winter 2012. The storefront was unoccupied for several months before Facilities and Real Estate Services announced that Hip City Veg would be the new tenant.

Quakers split Dig Pink! weekend VOLLEYBALL | Penn loses to Elis, beats Bears while raising money

BY TITUS ADKINS Staff Writer In a weekend filled with Ivy League volleyball, pink reigned supreme.

With pink jerseys across the board to support Dig Pink!, Penn split its weekend matches against Yale and Brown.

For the team and coach Kerry Carr — a breast cancer survivor — the weekend was about much more than just volleyball.

“Personally, it means everything,” Carr said of the event.

“It is a unique foundation, and it isn’t like … a huge conglomeration. It is a really small charity that is based on doing research for curing breast cancer at the late stages, stage IV, and

VS. YALE giving help to those ladies who are diagnosed late.

“It obviously very much ties in with the volleyball world with all the volleyball teams and the charities that they give to.”

The Quakers (5-11, 2-3 Ivy), who were hoping to build off of their win against Cornell last weekend, were met on Friday by the three-time defending Ivy League champion Bulldogs, who were able to defeat the Red and Blue in three sets (25-16, 27-25, 25-17).

As one sided as the first set was, Penn found a way to rally in the second. Yale (8-6, 4-1) found itself tied with the Quakers 15 times in the set, and the lead changed hands on five oc-

VS. BROWN casions.

The Red and Blue had Yale on the ropes in the second set, going up, 24-23. However the Bulldogs gathered themselves and were able to squeeze out a 27-25 victory.

After a set that depleted the Quakers physically and mentally, Penn appeared drained as it entered what would be the third and final set. The Elis, as they did in the first, built a solid lead that they would not let go of.

Saturday went differently for Penn as it faced Brown (6-11, 1-4), which has struggled in its Ivy League slate so far.

This match saw the Red and Blue go up two sets on their visitors. However, it wouldn’t be until the fifth that Penn would

be able to claim victory (26-24, 25-22, 24-26, 16-25, 15-11).

Junior captain Alexis Genske led the Red and Blue’s attack, tallying 14 kills while also compiling 20 digs. Senior Kendall Turner finished the night hitting .435 with 12 kills, while junior Michellie McDonaldO’Brien tallied 11 kills and a .417 hitting percentage.

After coming off of a career night in which she set her personal record for digs, freshman Emmy Friedler did not appear satisfied as she racked up a new individual match record with 34 digs.

The win capped off an exciting weekend for the Quakers as the team supported breast cancer research as part of its Dig Pink! weekend.

Penn will find itself on the road for its next five games as it travels up and down the coast facing Ivy League foes.

Senior captain Duke Lacroix put Penn men’s soccer ahead in Saturday’s Ivy match, but Columbia’s second-half surge ultimately doomed the Red and Blue.

M. SOCCER

>> PAGE 16 “[That] made it a game of matchups, and we need to be better at dealing with those changes. We never were able to get control of the game again, and it got away from us.”

Revitalized by the changes, Columbia scored twice in the second half on goals by Rhys Williams and Frederick Elliot in the 61st and 69th minutes, respectively. The scores mark Williams’ third and Elliott’s second goals this season.

The Quakers failed to keep up with the Lions, though they had plenty of opportunities, taking 10 shots in the second half, including Neumann’s two near misses.

After saying during the week that he felt the team needed to work on finishing games stronger, Lacroix still feels the same way.

“We need to do a better job of closing out the game.

Every Ivy League game is going to be tough,” Lacroix said.

“Whether you’re ahead or be-

hind, both teams are going to battle for the full 90 [minutes]. “[It is] just a point of emphasis for every game we go into but especially conference play.”

The loss bumps Penn to 6-3-1 in its last 10 meetings versus Columbia. Last year’s matchup in New York City ended in a 0-0 draw.

Fuller is thankful for the “quick turnaround,” as the Quakers get back in action on Tuesday for a match against Rutgers. The team will then have the opportunity to move back above .500 in both total and Ivy League records in next Saturday’s key matchup against Dartmouth in Hanover.

Although close losses can sometimes be tough on teams, Fuller is confident in his team’s leadership. Lacroix, one of the team veterans, spoke of the importance of staying focused on the task at hand.

“Rutgers is our next game, and that’s where our head is at right now.”

Penn falls in pair of nonconference contests

FIELD HOCKEY | No. 2 Maryland too much for the Quakers to handle

BY TOM NOWLAN Contributing Writer

Luckily for Penn field hockey, this weekend’s games won’t impact the Ivy League standings.

The Quakers dropped two games against Monmouth and Maryland — two tough nonconference opponents — dropping their overall record on the year to 4-6.

The Red and Blue kicked off the weekend on Thursday when they hosted Monmouth (7-6).

The Hawks were led by senior forward Amanda Schoenfeld , who scored two goals in the 4-2 victory for Monmouth. Midfielder Trish O’Dwyer and defender Casey Hanna each added a goal apiece.

Monmouth scored three of its goals in the game’s first 16 minutes, jumping to a quick 3-0 lead.

However, Penn quickly countered with goals from attacks Elise Tilton and Alexa Hoover.

Hoover’s tally came on a breakaway feed from Elizabeth Hitti just before the end of the first half, temporarily cutting the deficit to 3-2.

Hoover’s goal was her teamleading ninth of the season.

Those nine goals are good for second-best in the Ivy League, tying Hoover with Columbia’s Katie Ruesterholz . The freshman has enjoyed a breakout season and has undoubtedly become a key cog in the team’s offensive engine.

Freshman Christen Piersanti was solid in goal for Monmouth, turning away 8 shots on the afternoon. Her counterpart, freshman Elizabeth Mata, was

VS. MONMOUTH

NO. 2 MARYLAND

not as successful in her first college start, allowing all four goals while making only three saves. Regular goalkeeper Allison Weisenfels came on for the final 18 minutes of the game and added an impressive four saves.

Things were not nearly as close on Sunday as the Quakers headed south to take on No. 2 Maryland (11-2). The Terrapins scored early and often in a 9-0 victory, receiving goals from eight different players. Junior Sarah Sprink scored twice, helping Maryland to its sixth straight win.

Penn goalkeeper Allison Weisenfels, in her return to starting duty, made 10 saves against a constant stream of Maryland shots. Hoover, who played all 70 minutes in the blowout, recorded three of Penn’s five shots on goal.

Sunday’s loss was the first in which the Quakers were defeated by more than two goals.

However, it is hard to draw many meaningful conclusions from a game in which the Red and Blue were clearly overmatched. Unlike Maryland, the Red and Blue aren’t looking to be the best team in the nation — they’re just trying to win the Ivy League.

Luckily, Penn will get an opportunity to work on just that when they jump back into Ancient Eight play in its next game on Saturday. The Quakers will look to improve on their 1-2 Ivy League record when they host Columbia (6-4, 2-1 Ivy) at Ellen Vagelos field at noon.

While it’s easy to get discouraged with nonconference losses, Penn will get a much-needed week to regroup and get back to the real work at hand.

Against two tough opponents, sophomore midfielder Elise Tilton found ways to come up big once again. The sophomore scored one of Penn’s goals against Monmouth to help the Quakers keep things competitive. The goal was Tilton’s second of the season.

Red and Blue bounce back, eke out win SPRINT FB | The Quakers register third win of season

BY STEVEN JACOBSON Contributing Writer

MARCUS KATZ/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Senior running back Mike Beamish supplied both of Penn’s touchdowns on Saturday, increasing his season total to a healthy six rushing scores.

Sometimes, a little can go a long way.

While it might have tied for the lowest amount the Quakers scored all season, 14 points was enough for the Penn sprint football team to defeat Franklin Pierce, 14-7, on Friday evening.

Playing at the Ravens’ Sodexo Field in Rindge, N.H., the Red and Blue (3-1) needed only two rushing touchdowns from senior team captain and running back Mike Beamish to finish off their opponents.

Another strong effort from the Penn defense held Franklin Pierce (1-3) to only one touchdown — a 21-yard rush by senior quarterback Derek Reddy in the fourth quarter.

VS. Franklin Pierce “I had thoughts of Franklin Pierce coming back and tying the game as they did a year ago and forcing an overtime football game,� coach Bill Wagner said, referencing the Quakers’ 33-27 overtime loss against the Ravens last October. However, Wagner’s fears were quelled when his defense held Franklin Pierce scoreless over the final 11:18 of the game.

The defining stand came in the final minute, as the Red and Blue’s defense held firm in the shadow of its own end zone, preventing the tying score.

Leading the defensive effort was junior linebacker/ defensive back Stu Hegelson, who tallied seven tackles and an interception. Hegelson wasn’t the only standout performer as sophomore defensive back Chris Colavita had seven tackles of his own and senior defensive back Keith Braccia racked up six as well.

Sophomore defensive lineman Patrick Boyle and freshman linebacker Hunter Heflin each sacked Reddy once.

Sophomore wide receiver Mario del Cueto once again led the team with 39 receiving yards, helping Penn on two first down plays. However, the versatile del Cueto, who entered the season as a de-

W. SOCCER >> PAGE 16

fensive back, may have made his biggest contribution as the team’s kicker for the night.

Regular sophomore kicker Aron Morgan — who also plays for Penn varsity football — did not make the trip up to N.H. with the team. Del Cueto filled in admirably, averaging 45.7 yards on his kickoffs and knocking extra points through the goalposts after both of Penn’s touchdowns. “He’s very athletic. He’s helped us on offense, he’s a real good receiver and he’s helped our punt return as a returner,� Wagner said of the Quakers’ jack-of-all-trades. “He’s got a lot of ability. His kicking is also very good.�

In fact, it could be argued that the two men handling the team’s kicking and punting duties — as Beamish doubles as the team’s punter — were two of the team’s top three offensive contributors as well — with the third being sophomore quarterback Mike McCurdy, who went 8-for-16 with 116 passing yards.

Wagner did say, however, that Morgan is still the team’s kicker. While pleased with del Cueto’s versatility, Wagner is cautious to spread him too thin and will continue to work him primarily as a receiver and returner.

The Quakers will look to continue their winning ways against Post (1-2) on Friday.

The matchup will take place at 7 p.m. on their home turf of Franklin Field.

bia to make two saves in the first 45 minutes alone.

Defensively, the Quakers looked as sharp as ever, preventing the Lions from creating any real threat on goal.

Junior goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli’s aggressive defensive stops off line and out of the box anchored the defense.

Ultimately, the pressure from the Quakers’ offense proved to be too much for Columbia. In the 38th minute, a right side cross from fellow freshman Jill Kennedy, a natural defender playing forward in the Penn’s two-striker system, connected with fellow striker Provini for a beautiful header over Columbia’s 6-foot-2 senior goalkeeper Grace Redmon.

The Penn-dominated first half was in the books with a 1-0 lead for the Quakers.

The second half showed a much more aggressive Lions squad. The half started with a back and forth for the ball around midfield again, but Columbia began to dominate possession. However, Penn’s suffocating defense allowed for no real threats on three Columbia shots 10 minutes into the half.

The Lions’ best attempt came in the 68th minute, as a string of headers and deflections off of a right side cross showcased Terilli’s reflexes in goal. That would basically be all from Columbia, as Terilli and the Red and Blue took down the Lions.

On Sunday, Penn once again got out in front early, this time against Navy.

In the 17th minute, a corner kick from junior midfielder Erin Mikolai was punched into the net by Navy sophomore goalkeeper Dayton Wetherby for an own goal.

But unlike Columbia, the Mids would answer.

Just two minutes later, Navy’s Caprice Kelty shot a ball between Terilli’s legs to tie the score. Neither squad could break the tie in the first half.

A cross from the left side was put in by Lily Kraemer in the sixth minute, giving Navy the lead and what became the game-winning goal.

The Quakers played evenly with the Mids, put up the same number of shots and only one fewer shot on goal.

However, it was ultimately not enough.

Penn will look to win its second Ivy match of the year when the Quakers travel to Dartmouth on Saturday. The Big Green have come away with three ties in three Ivy matches so far this year.

Penn’s secondary now a primary concern IAN WENIK

play drives,” coach Al Bagnoli said. “That happened two or three times on home runs and it’s really deflating.”

However, Penn answered with many big plays of its own. With Torgersen lining up in the shotgun for the majority of the snaps, he was given the chance to throw the ball downfield early and often. He threw for 316 yards on the day and most of that came from just a few large passes.

But after that first drive, the Quakers weren’t able to capitalize on their breakout gains.

“We did a lot of good things.

We did a nice job of moving the ball,” Bagnoli said. “But our issues are not in-between the twenties — our issues are red zone driven.”

The inability to capitalize in the red zone led to junior

kicker Jimmy Gammill kicking five field goals, a Penn record.

“It was a good personal accomplishment,” Gammill said. “But I’m never really go[ing] into a game hoping I kick five field goals.”

Poor decision making by Torgersen led to significant misfortunes for the Red and Blue. The worst came on a third down pass attempt to freshman running back Tre Solomon in the red zone halfway through the second quarter. Solomon got flattened by senior free safety Levon Williams.

Solomon was carried off the field and did not return after injuring his knee. Senior running back Kyle Wilcox also left the game with a mild concussion, devastating the Quakers’ running back depth chart.

Despite the lopsided scor-

ing total, Penn’s defense never hung its head.

“Morale never dropped at all,” Gammill said. “At Penn you’re never gonna find a guy who gives up.”

And the defense did have its moments, sacking Nebrich twice, picking him off once and largely containing star running back Chase Edmonds, “For young kids, our front seven did a nice job against the run and a pretty high powered attack,” Bagnoli said.

However, he was less pleased with the secondary.

“It’s not good enough what we are doing,” Bagnoli added.

“We have too much experience back there.”

That experience will be necessary as the Quakers host equally winless Columbia next week and shoot to end an eight-game losing streak that dates back to 2013.

Senior defensive back Dan Wilk and the rest of Penn football’s secondary will need to step up in a big way for the Quakers to turn things around.

ment.”

Running up the score aside, what might have been most disturbing about Penn’s defensive performance was that it came from a team that entered unafraid and played with anger and passion for all 60 minutes.

Defensive backs coach Dave Wood’s coverage schemes broke down far too many times.

Players got beaten man on man, as physical receivers like Sam Ajala were able to stiff arm and juke backs like Trevor Niemann time and time again.

“If you have breakdowns against a team like [Fordham], that’s when you get exploited,” senior cornerback Dan Wilk said. “Back to the drawing board, though. I think we’ll be fine. It’s all fixable stuff.”

In the short run, Penn’s defense probably will be fine.

Next week, the Quakers return home to face Columbia, a bye week in powder blue uniforms. The Lions

have averaged barely more than 200 passing yards per game through four contests this season — and even that number is inflated by four garbage time scores from Saturday’s 61-28 drubbing at the hands of Monmouth.

But the long run will likely tell a different story. One week after Columbia, the Red and Blue will go up to the Yale Bowl and face Morgan Roberts, the Ancient Eight’s leading passer. Oh, and that Quinn Epperly guy in Princeton is pretty good, too.

So unless Bagnoli, Wood, defensive coordinator Ray Priore and the veterans in the secondary figure something out soon, there might be a lot more crooked numbers on the opponent’s side of the scoreboard the rest of the way.

Penn rowing put together a strong performance at the Navy Day Regatta on Saturday, winning nine of 13 races and starting out its season in solid fashion. The Red and Blue have the Head of the Charles race to focus on in the near future.

Great Service!

28 beers on tap

rother, can you spare a dime package?

Because after No. 18 Fordham properly toasted Penn football’s secondary today, the Quakers are positively begging for something — anything — to help shore up the defense’s back four.

Rams quarterback Mike Nebrich threw for 566 passing yards against the Red and Blue — the most in program history.

All that yardage didn’t go between the twenties, though, unlike the disturbing plurality of Penn offensive possessions that ended in midrange Jimmy Gammill’s field goals.

The Rams’ drives ended in points. Sixty of them, in fact. The Red and Blue hadn’t allowed an opponent to hang more than 58 on it since it joined the Ivy League in 1956.

Coach Al Bagnoli was beside himself postgame, and rightly so after watching his team allow consecutive scoring drives that lasted all of 52 and 12 seconds, respectively, to turn a close 21-13 affair into a 3513 rout midway through the second quarter.

“It’s certainly an area that we have to go and really look at and just try to get some answers to,” Bagnoli said. “Because right now, I’m not happy [with] the way our back end is playing.”

Granted, the final stats don’t fully reflect how the game actually played out. Rams coach Joe Moorhead left Nebrich and his other key skill position players in the game to throw the football until more than half the fourth quarter had passed, a classless decision in a nonconference game that ultimately means nothing to either team’s hopes.

Bagnoli, for his part, took the high road.

“It’s our job to coach our kids, and it’s his job to coach his kids,” he said. “I’m not sure I would have done that, but that’s not my decision … certainly it’s not for me to com-

The women struggled in the junior varsity eight race, where they finished sixth.

Lane, much like Farrell, talked of the importance of the Navy Day races as training for upcoming events.

“We learned a couple of valuable lessons,” Lane said.

In the varsity eight race, the women’s top boat finished second.

“It was a hard-fought battle,” said sophomore Ciara Multari, who went on to explain how the results were promising considering how relatively little they had practiced for the event.

“We’ll get them next time.”

Penn rowing’s quest continues next week at the Head of the Charles Regatta, followed by the much-anticipated Princeton Chase event the following week.

Quakers suffer first Ivy defeat M. SOCCER | Two second-half goals lift Columbia over Penn

BY JACOB ADLER Contributing Writer

VS. COLUMBIA It was a tale of two halves for Penn men’s soccer.

Despite a 1-0 halftime lead at Rhodes Field, the Quakers fell to Columbia, 2-1, in a nailbiter.

In the first half, Penn (5-5, 1-1 Ivy) jumped out to a 1-0 advantage over the Lions (4-5, 1-1) thanks to senior forward Duke Lacroix’s sixth goal of the season in the 20th minute, assisted by sophomore Alec Neumann and junior Forrest Clancy. It was Penn’s first shot-on-goal, and the Quakers only attempted two more shots in the first half.

“We felt like we had the game completely under control in the first half, deserved to be up 1-0,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “[We] probably should have taken some chances and put it away in the first half, but we didn’t, and it came back to bite us.”

In a game Fuller admitted was a “must-win” for the Lions, he credited their comeback to halftime adjustments.

“They made an adjustment at the half and went from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2,” Fuller said.

VS. NAVY The weekend may not have ended how Penn women’s soccer wanted, but Friday went as well as it could have.

A late first-half goal was enough to seal the 1-0 win over Columbia for the Red and Blue on Friday, giving Penn its first Ivy win.

However, Sunday ended fall break on a somber note as Navy came back to beat Penn, 2-1.

Friday’s win came in large part thanks to a goal from freshman forward Jules Provini. The Quakers’ victory ended the Lion’s (5-2-4, 1-11) two-game win streak in conference play.

The first half of play against Columbia was characterized by battles for possession around midfield. The energetic contest found Penn (5-4-2) dominating possession and proving to be the more dangerous side of the first half, outshooting the Lions, 6-3, forcing ColumSEE W. SOCCER PAGE 14

Penn makes waves at regatta

ROWING | Quakers win nine of 13 races on Saturday

BY INES DIAZ Staff Writer

Payton Award candidate found senior wide receiver Tebucky Jones Jr. early and often. The son of the eponymous former NFL cornerback accounted for 203 of Nebrich’s 566 passing yards (the most Penn has ever surrendered to an opposing quarterback).

“We’ve just got to do a much better job of not giving up one-

Neither rain, fog nor the crews of the Naval Academy could stop Penn rowing from shining.

The Red and the Blue picked up nine victories in just 13 races, putting together a strong showing at Saturday’s Navy Day Regatta.

Unfavorable weather conditions and temperatures in the 50s did not stop parents and students from coming out to show their support at Boathouse Row, something they would not regret.

The Regatta, held at the Schuylkill River, saw a range of competing crews facing off in a series of head races, including Rutgers, Lehigh, Temple and Drexel. Penn rowing was represented by its men’s heavyweight, men’s lightweight and women’s crews.

According to tradition, it is the oarsmen and oarswomen of Navy that pose the biggest threat to Penn, often topping the Red and Blue.

This year would be different.

The heavyweights, coached

by Greg Myhr, led the way and managed to take home the top position in four out of five races.

“It’s about the best we’ve done in the last few years,”

Myhr said.

In the varsity eight race, Penn and Navy tied for first, continuing a fierce rivalry.

“We’ve had a very nice history with Navy the last few years,” he said.

Penn rowing is heading for the Head of the Charles and Princeton Chase races later this month, where they will have the opportunity to oar it out against Navy again.

“It’s a rivalry to be continued,” Myhr added.

The men’s lightweights, headed by new head coach Colin Farrell, finished first in the lightweight four and finished second behind Delaware in the lightweight eight race.

“We still have some work to do,” Farrell said, reemphasizing how these races have been an opportunity for training for the upcoming events later this month.

The women’s crew picked up victories in the coxless pair, coxed four and freshmen eight races.

Women’s head coach Mike Lane was especially upbeat over the performance of the freshmen.

“It was their first win as Division I athletes, and that’s going to be something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives,” he said.

Lane also was happy with the depth the women’s crew displayed on Saturday, which he said brings confidence going into the Princeton Chase races in two weeks.
