GETTING HIRED AT WHARTON A look at the practices Wharton uses to hire new professors and staff
For African international and first generation students at Penn, Ebola is more than just a news topic. Many of these students are frustrated with how the media covers the virus and the overall lack of discussion on campus about Ebola-

Dean Geoffrey Garrett called work-life balance females’ biggest obstacle JESSICA MCDOWELL Staff Writer
According to Wharton’s new dean, the biggest challenge facing women in the business world is ensuring that they “can have a balance between their families and their professional lives, with their husbands and partners.”

What is Wharton doing for women? In an Oct. 17 article in the Wall Street Journal, Geoffrey Garrett said that helping women create that balance is a challenge with economic implications. “If we lose a lot of productivity at times of highest talent and potentially highest contribution, that’s a cost that society can’t bear,” he said. Clarifying his comment in an email from abroad last week, Garrett added that “there is simply no justification for paying women any less than men to do the same jobs. Equal pay for equal work

should be a core principle for all societies.” But with full-time female employees making 78 cents to every dollar earned by males in the same jobs, and females still comprising only 40 percent of each the newest undergraduate and MBA classes, the new Wharton leadership team may not be focused on the right issues. Wharton sophomore Graciela Arana thinks Garrett’s Wall Street Journal comment represents a “typical” mentality. “The
world is changing, and couples are becoming different. There is more shared responsibility in the household,” she said. “But I wouldn’t say it’s the biggest challenge women face in business today.” That, she said, is “the narrow mindset” men still seem to have about what women can and cannot do. “A lot of men, even though they seem to be really openminded, still have in the back of their minds that women are not meant to be in high positions —
that they’re too emotional or that they’re meant to be home with their families,” she said. Arana grew up in Puerto Rico and attended an all-girls high school. After a clubbing night she attended during her freshman year, Arana joined the undergraduate student group Wharton Women, designed to bring women in business and pre-business tracks together to overcome common challenges women face today. “Wharton Women has definitely given me a lot of opportu-
nities,” she said. In general, Arana described her experience in Wharton as positive. “To be honest, I haven’t really felt like I’ve had to overcome a lot of challenges in Wharton that men don’t,” she said. “I haven’t met a single woman in Wharton who thinks of herself as less capable or as less of a competitor than men.” Wharton senior Anna Reighart, a vice president of Wharton SEE WOMEN PAGE 7

PennWorld to ‘Mix It Up’ The group will bring students from different cultures together BY VIVIAN ZHENG Contributing Writer
This week, PennWorld is “mixing up” students on campus. On Oct. 28 this year, PennWorld is hosting its Mix It Up event to encourage intercultural conversations, as well as identifying and questioning social boundaries. Students will be assigned seats in dining halls so they can eat and talk with someone they don’t normally interact with. The dining hall location creates a symbol for change in a place where, normally, segregation is common. Club founder and College junior Joy Zhang said
that last semester around 30 people attended Mix It Up at 1920 Commons. Based on a sign-up sheet, each student was seated with someone from a different cultural background. The stimulating conversations students had prevented the need for the previously planned icebreakers. “A lot of people said they met someone they would not have met, and it was an interesting experience,” Zhang said. Mix It Up at Lunch Day is a nationwide campaign developed by Teaching Tolerance over a decade ago. Zhang said that her inspiration to bring Mix It Up to Penn is to promote interactions between different groups of people. “I deeply believe that diversity is not a number but measured by experience,” she said.

They have helped the social media operations of Republicans Charles Djou, a Penn alum who is running for Congress in Hawaii’s 1st District, and Carlos Curbelo, who is running in Florida’s 26th District. In addition, they plan on phone banking for former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who is running for a Senate seat in New Hampshire. The College Republican Na-

IVY LEAGUE
SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICIES
Changes are coming for Penn’s sexual assault policy. In the last year, Ivy League schools have made significant changes to their sexual assault policies in order to support victims and promote consistency in handling cases, and Penn is now starting to catch up to its Ivy counterparts.
Reporting by Zahra Husain, Staff Writer
BROWN
HARVARD
CORNELL
As of summer 2014, Brown is formally using new resources offered to universities through Title IX to education its student body in addition to its sexual assault investigators, who have the power to sanction guilty parties.
Harvard trains staff to be able to properly investigate claims of sexual assault. They report to a Title IX officer, a position that was created in 2013. Per federal guidelines, Harvard has adopted the preponderance of evidence standard, meaning anyone accused of assault will be found guilty if more than 50 percent of evidence indicates their guilt.
In response to the White House task force, Cornell brought in Title IX investigators to take charge of the sexual assault response program. Cornell will provide increased training, and the new Title IX headed prevention and response program is designed to promote equality and inclusivity in the process handling student complaints.
As of Sept. 16, Princeton also abides by the preponderance of evidence standard, but students are no longer part of a committee that investigates and handles sexual assault complaints. The complainant and respondent are given the chance to have outside lawyers or other legal counsel present at any meeting during the disciplinary process.
PRINCETON
COLUMBIA
YALE
DARTMOUTH
In September, a Columbia student made headlines for carrying around a mattress to raise awareness for her experience with sexual assault and the school's lack of response, despite apparent changes enacted by Columbia. Columbia’s Gender-Based Misconduct Office handles issues of sexual assault. A new committee handling cases will not have students serving on the panel. Specially trained investigators will look into every complaint, and panel members undergo specific training for the adjudication process as well as for sensitivity on these issues annually.
In Sept. 2013, Yale issued a new policy stating that consent to one sexual act does not constitute consent to all acts and that consent can be negated.
The Department of Education is investigating Dartmouth, and the school has received a push from the students to work harder to improve the sexual assault policy. Dartmouth will employ independent investigators for on-campus sexual assault cases and has deemed certain circumstances eligible for mandatory expulsion. In mid-July, Dartmouth hosted a summit on sexual assault to educate community members on sexual assault prevention and response.
Yale's University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct is made up of faculty, staff and students who undergo serious training before their one- to three-year terms. The University does acknowledge that the committee is not a replacement for law enforcement and suggests seeking assistance the police. Individual schools within Yale can also handle disciplinary matters relating to sexual assault.
As of last week, students will no longer serve on disciplinary committees dealing with sexual assault cases, following the example of several other Ivy institutions. While some schools continue to involve students in the disciplinary process, Penn is one school moving away from this model. Title IX investigators will oversee cases and head a new office specifically created to handle sexual misconduct cases. Title IX investigators look into and handle reports of sexual misconduct following principles outlined by Title IX, such as gender equality.

A
KEEN ON THE TRUTH | An apology for incendiary style and an appeal for more constructive conversation
t the beginning of their careers, doctors must bury a few mistakes in the morgue, lawyers wave goodbye to a few mistakes outside jail and journalists publish a few on the front page of a newspaper. Each type of error may be painful, but the last — however embarrassing — has some chance of partial remedy. I’d like to hazard that chance with regard to last week’s column. I am sorry for the way in which I wrote. It was ill-advised to write a column as casually as I did about such a sensitive topic. The column was labeled in strong terms by many. Evidently — leaving aside my actual point — my mode of expression was foolish and highly ineffective. Let me clarify first what I did not mean. Many assumed I was employing a strictly literal writing style. Some readers thought that I believe black people must be either criminals, pan-handlers, dumb students or wealthy immigrants.
This is, as I said, a stereotype that I see and hear at Penn. It is no more my personal belief than the stereotype that white people are all racists. Other readers assumed that I claimed a “sour sense of unfair treatment and smug feelings of superiority” for my own. On the contrary, it is my observation that affirmative action leads to sour and smug feelings on the part of white people, but in my belief, such feelings are not justified.
ence at Penn, I am stereotyped on a racial basis. This labeling includes socially acceptable elements like wealth, as well as some negative connotations like snobbery and racism. I have observed this stereotype applied frequently in conversations in which whites are arbitrarily labeled as “probably racist.” When arguing over topics unrelated to race, white males are often labeled as such in an effort to invalidate their views.
Thankfully, a number of people from the black community reached out to me personally about the column, and we had open, friendly conversations. Honestly addressing stereotypes on both sides helped to bring them down.” I could go on listing phrases that were misunderstood, but the article was so unclear that it is easier to simply state what I believe. In my experi-
At the same time, I find at Penn that black people are negatively stereotyped — more severely than white people. Little offhand comments made
in casual (“all white”) conversation, a refrigerator magnet I saw: “UPenn safety alert: black male seen on campus. Avoid everything” and many other things might be brought up to confirm this impression. What particularly upset me about these stereotypes is when I caught myself starting to play along with them. When a white friend was arbitrarily labeled a potential racist, I joined in the joke saying, “Well, I don’t know ... he is from the South.” After a semester or two at Penn, I also thought the refrigerator magnet funny, when formerly I would have found it strange — if not offensive. Thinking about this problem, I realized that there seemed to be very little honest discussion between the “black” and “white” communities on the issue. In last week’s column, I stated that the heavy emphasis on reparations, programs earmarked for racial minorities and affirmative action is unproductive. For this, I
apologize. The arguments surrounding these sensitive ideas are too complex to address lightly and largely separate from what I am trying to say. Unfortunately, many people took my attack on racial stereotyping as a form of racism. Thankfully, a number of people from the black community reached out to me personally about the column, and we had open, friendly conversations. Honestly addressing stereotypes on both sides helped to bring them down. One student shared her experience as a black person in America with me — how racial stereotyping forces her to be self-conscious about everything from her posture to how she styles her hair, how her parents grew up under systematic discrimination and even today would tell her to “trust her black friends.” And I shared parts of my story with her, as a “color-blind” financial aid student learning to be stereotyped as rich and racist. It would seem strange that a
JEREMIAH KEENAN column as ill-fated as the one I wrote last week could lead to productive conversations. But I hope that others will also be willing to forgive my poor articulation and see something valuable in an open and honest discussion — coming from all different perspectives — of the destructive racial stereotyping that so many of us face and perpetrate at Penn.

emocrats, locally and nationally, assert that Republicans are waging a war on women, often citing Republican candidates who’ve said stupid things and then claiming all Republicans are equally stupid. The second prong of Democrats’ argument is traditional fights over abortion. Finally, Democrats bring up court cases where Republicans have traditionally sided with religious liberty. Some of these arguments are easy to answer. First, we’re clearly not all Todd Akin. Republicans on campus don’t make the ridiculous anti-science arguments that some on the right have made. The second two arguments require more explanation. For the first, reasonable people can have different thoughts about abortion. Within our organization, we have people who are staunchly pro-choice. We also have members who have deep, heartfelt issues of conscience
GUEST COLUMN BY COLLEGE REPUBLICANS EXECUTIVE BOARD about abortion. Finally, there are legal questions about the nature of rights and how legal obligations intersect with personal beliefs. Stepping back, what does having a right to something really mean? There are negative rights and positive rights. Negative rights require inaction. Freedom of speech, for example, is a negative right. Within certain constraints, no one can forbid you from saying what you want to say. Positive rights require action — basic subsistence is a positive right. Rights to contraception, health clinic access and other reproductive services are positive rights. Legally, what generates this positive obligation to provide these things? Even if we grant that such an obligation exists, why is a closely held corporation obligated to provide 20 different types of contraceptives to their employees? Hobby Lobby already provides 16 types of contraceptives to their employees. For religious
reasons, they object to four other types, which are abortifacient.
Buzzwords such as ‘war on women’ are rhetorically effective and convenient narratives. And sometimes they’re true. The problem, howeve r, is that as the narratives develop and grow, they can stray far from the truth.” The two competing interests are religious freedom of expression and the right to a very specific type of contraceptive. On the one hand, we have a clear negative right. On the other, we have a dubious
positive right, which would require people to violate their own belief systems. Clearly, this isn’t a simple issue of mean-spirited people trying to subjugate women. These are people struggling with trying to do the best for their employees and neighbors, while not violating their conscience. Quite frankly, sometimes these arguments are purposely deceptive. Planned Parenthood’s 3 percent statistic, for example. Planned Parenthood has unbundled every particular “service” rendered in order to reduce the percentage that abortions make up. A routine visit, for instance, could rack up many “services,” depending on what exams you get or pills you receive. This convenient tallying is designed to distract from the other, more significant statistics — namely, the staggering number of abortions they perform. Clearly, the 3 percent statistic is working, as the government still generously funds this
group. The fact that Planned Parenthood tries to play down the number of abortions they perform is telling. This isn’t to say that people can’t be prochoice, but this is a hard ethical decision for many people and shouldn’t be trivialized. In a similar vein, the Women’s Right to Know Act has taken a lot of flak from pro-choicers. This is not the pro-choice movement in its best light. Even the most diehard prochoice activist does not wish to increase the total number of abortions performed or to have women request abortions without knowing what the procedure entails. The attempts to ensure that women who are thinking about abortion make an informed decision. Surely, we can all agree that this is a good thing. Ascribing malice is not the way to move forward, and it’s not the way to make policy. There’s always a danger in politics when buzzwords become a substitute for analysis.
Buzzwords such as “war on women” are rhetorically effective and convenient narratives. And sometimes they’re true. The problem, however, is that as the narratives develop and grow, they can stray far from the truth while the “statistics” cited aren’t always very accurate. The war on women narrative has been repeated so often that it’s become gospel. That’s not fair to people struggling with issues of conscience. While we should all work to make sure people have access to health care and for gender equity in all areas of life, it’s never constructive to namecall and ignore facts to serve a narrative.

College sophomore and firstgeneration Guinean Oumourumana Jalloh said that the constant media coverage has another negative consequence: “When Ebola breaks out in third world countries, it defines that country. Now, there is a negative connotation to someone who identifies as a Guinean or Liberian. If I travel or go somewhere, do I really want to say I’m Guinean? The media makes it seem like all Guineans have Ebola.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, not all of Guinea is even affected — only areas of Southeast Guinea bordering Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ivory coast, as well as three smaller areas in the western part of the countries near the coast. Jalloh has grandparents and relatives back in Guinea, one of three West African countries affected by Ebola. “I am thankful none of my relatives are dying from Ebola,” Jalloh said. “But just 3736 SPRUCE STREET knowing that family is there, it is 3736 SPRUCE OPEN 7 DAYS 6:30AM - 8PM STREET on my mind a lot.

nities in other parts of the world.” Muraina, whose entire extended family lives in Nigeria, recalls her experience being in the country this past summer when a couple of Ebola cases broke out. “It caused a mild hysteria. Everyone was distributing hand sanitizer and warning each other to drink or bathe with salt water. Two people actually died from drinking too much salt water. However, all of the Ebola cases have been handled since, and there are no more cases in Nigeria,” she said.
Penn Muslim minister Kameelah Rashad has counseled many African students who worry about the crisis in West Africa and agrees that the lack of discussion is troubling. “Is a student supposed to assume that because there’s no discussion, it’s not important?” Rashad asked. “It is difficult for students who must tend to two worlds, the one back in Africa and the Penn world, where they are expected to do well in all of their classes and extracurriculars.”
Going forward, the Penn African Student Association plans to address this need. Recently, the African student group at Brown University reached out to PASA, and the two groups are working to spread information on campuses and to send support to Ebola-affected countries. “African students here represent the continent. We don’t want to just sit here idle when there are things we can do to support relief efforts,” Rugamba said. “It’s the least we can do.”

Getting hired at Wharton Wharton’s departments go to lengths to woo the faculty they want most COREY STERN Staff Writer
Like prospective undergraduates and MBAs, prospective Wharton professors have to stand out in a pool of candidates to score a spot on the faculty roster. Of the 10 new professors at Wharton this semester, four were hired directly out of doctoral programs for their first teaching positions. In an admissions-like process, these newly-minted Ph.D.s face off for the limited number of open faculty positions at universities. And experienced professors are usually in the mix, too. Wharton departments actively

Women, generally agreed with Garrett, though, that work-life balance is one of the biggest issues for women in the workforce. “Coming out of Wharton, there’s a lot of pressure to have a really big career, and the focus on family life is not as important,” she said. “I can’t speak for all women, but I think in general, that’s probably the thing that I wonder about the most.” As the job market only gets more competitive, Arana acknowledged that gender discrimination is something that has

Weber and Goldblum based the documentary on a scene in the novel where the protagonist encounters a magician’s ghetto — a slum inhabited by circus performers, magicians and puppeteers. Rushdie created the ghetto as an allegory for the reallife tinsel slum of the Kathputli colony on the western edge of New Delhi. “It really got to me,” Goldblum said. “I realized that Rushdie had based the scene on a real place, and I thought it would make an incredible documentary.” Tomorrow We Disappear presents its viewers with the compromise that the New Delhi govern-
recruit professors from other universities in an effort to build the strongest faculty. New Dean Geoffrey Garrett, who is also the Reliance Professor of Management and Private Enterprise, was wooed from his old post as dean at the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales. Other new professors this semester agreed to come to Wharton from the Stanford Business School, the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago Law School. Wharton management professor Minyuan Zhao, who was recruited this year from Ross, explained that the business education community is a very small one in which everybody knows the research that others are doing. In her case, she explained
that the department she joined at Wharton was very interested in the work that she was doing and made her an offer to come join the Wharton faculty. “There are a number of people that we do bring in who have already established themselves at other institutions,” said Lori Rosenkopf, vice dean and director of the Wharton Undergraduate Division. “That’s a wonderful plus for us when you have somebody who is already a renowned expert to be joining your faculty.” Rosenkopf said that hiring at Wharton is done on the departmental level, allowing faculty to look at who is doing the most intriguing research in their field. She said that hiring always begins, though, with empty faculty positions being openly advertised in forums like the Chroni-
cle of Higher Education. Gerard Cachon, chair of the Operations and Information Management Department, said that after identifying the best candidates, departments also try to determine who would be most willing to actually join Wharton’s faculty. Departments work hard on pitching themselves to prospective professors, he noted. “You make an offer and try to sell the person on the value of coming to Wharton,” Cachon said. ”Fortunately, there are lots of great things about Wharton from the perspective of an academic, so we surely have something to offer.” “Many times the sales pitch works,” Cachon said. Though she believes that the methods across departments are reasonably similar, Rosenkopf
cautioned that she could only definitively speak from her experience as a member of Wharton’s management department. The management team always starts out by simply seeking candidates who are publishing in academic journals, leading the professional societies and who have a great reputation in their field. Making the final decision about adding someone to Wharton’s faculty is not simple, though. In the case of Garrett, a consultative committee chaired by Dean of the Perelman School of Medicine J. Larry Jameson vetted around a dozen semifinalists before recommending four finalists to Penn President Amy Gutmann. The committee additionally consulted with headhunting firm Spencer Stuart, whose representatives declined to comment for this article.
crossed her mind when she thinks about her future career. “I am worried about it,” she said. “I went to a Goldman Sachs program this summer, and we spoke to a lot of men and women. But when you really look at these companies, their top management is almost entirely men, and women tend to work in marketing or communications. That’s something that’s yet to be overcome.” Research suggests that women are at a disadvantage in the hiring process because they only apply to jobs they feel completely qualified to fill, while men will apply to a job even if they meet only 60 percent of its qualifications.
For its part, Wharton does acknowledge the role it plays in its female students’ futures. “Creating the supply of capable young people who will become future business leaders — that’s important to [Wharton’s] role, and we continually ensure that we are training as many qualified women as we can,” Vice Dean of the Wharton Undergraduate Division Lori Rosenkopf said in an interview earlier this semester. “I think Wharton does a really great job. I don’t get the impression at all that women are disadvantaged or in any way less valued than men,” Reighart said. “Especially in the MBA class,
it’s a great place to be a woman. We consistently have the highest percentage of women out of any MBA class anywhere,” said 2015 MBA candidate and co-President of Wharton Women in Business Valerie Liu. Liu acknowledged that Wharton Women in Business had seen and discussed Garrett’s comment to the Wall Street Journal but refused to comment on its possible implications for women at Wharton. And while Garrett’s comment might call into question how much a priority gender equity is for the administration, not all students feel it should be one. “The
administration can’t realistically get involved with every minority problem on campus because then there would be too many problems for them to possibly address,” Arana said.
ment is making in bulldozing the Kathputli Colony, forcing its residents to relocate, and building a strip mall in its place. “You can’t build something new without losing something old,” Goldblum said. The documentary has been received with critical commendation. The feature was described as “one of the best documentaries of 2014” by Indiewire and was featured at the Tribeca Film Festival. After graduation, Weber worked as an apprentice editor for Inglorious Basterds and Goldblum won an Emmy for a project at the Pulitzer Center in the “new approaches to documentary” category. Their path to Tomorrow We Disappear began when Goldblum and Weber took Paul Hen-
drickson’s class in documentary writing as English majors. “A lot of the ideas that led to it
[Tomorrow We Disappear] were born out of our education there,” Goldblum said.

Liu agreed. “Administrators don’t need to be at the forefront of this initiative. Students are a lot more open to change coming from within their class as opposed to from the top levels.” she said.

match. But alas, Penn was unable to find the back of the net with Yale senior goalkeeper Heather Schlesier making seven saves, and both teams went into halftime in a scoreless draw. Things changed quickly in the second half as freshman Kiwi Comizio beat Penn goalkeeper Allison Weisenfels for the first goal of the match. But it wouldn’t be the only one. With Penn down a goal, the Quakers’ top scorers kicked it into another gear. Just eight minutes after the Yale score, freshman attack Alexa Hoover got a goal of her own. The game-tying score was Hoover’s team-leading 12th of the year. Senior attack Emily Corcoran followed Hoover’s goal with the
BY STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Editor A change of scenery can do wonders. Getting away for the weekend, Penn field hockey traveled to New Haven and overcame an early deficit to beat Yale, 2-1. The win over the last-place Bulldogs moves Penn to 2-3 in Ivy play, good for a fifth place tie with Harvard. In the first half, the Quakers (6-7, 2-3) dictated play, possessing the ball and creating offensive chances. Senior midfielder Alex Iqbal and junior attack Elizabeth Hitti helped the Red and Blue produce multiple scoring chances, as the squad registered seven shots on goal in the first half — more than Yale (2-13, 0-5) had in the entire
go-ahead tally, coming off an assist from Iqbal. Corcoran now has nine goals this season after she tallied 13 last season. From there, the Quakers held on despite a yellow card given to Hoover with just six minutes to go, leaving Penn short-handed. While Hoover and Corcoran were the goal scorers for Penn, Iqbal and Hitti had just as strong a role in the offense, putting up eight of the Quakers’ 11 shots on goal. The win ends a two-game losing streak in Ivy play for the Red and Blue and marks Penn’s second come-from-behind win of the season. It also gives the Quakers their second two-game win streak of the year, something the squad will obviously look to top in the coming week. The Quakers play another road match on Tuesday, heading a short way to Villanova, before a Homecoming tilt with Brown — Penn’s final home match of the season.

six times, intercepting him twice and blocking a punt in the Quakers’ end zone that went for a safety. Penn’s lone score came in the fourth quarter when McCurdy connected with junior wide receiver Henry Mason for a 32-yard touchdown pass. By contrast, Army’s offense fired on all cylinders, gashing the Quakers for big plays throughout the game. Penn will graduate a strong class of seniors, led by Beamish and senior defensive back Keith Braccia. Beamish has rushed for over 2,500 yards and punted for nearly 5,000 yards during his sprint football career. Braccia earned all-CSFL honors as a receiver and defensive back last year. “Braccia, Beamish, [senior offensive lineman Alex] Smith and those guys, they’ll be tough to replace,� Wagner said. “They’re real leaders.�
Seniors such as Braccia have played essential roles for younger players on the team, like freshman linebacker Quinn Karam, who has been a prime figure on the Penn defense this season. “Honestly, I don’t even know where we’d be without the seniors on this team,� Karam said. “They give us so much help and inspiration. Tight games, games like [the 14-7 Penn victory against] Franklin Pierce, I don’t think we would’ve won without the seniors firing us up and leading us.� The gratitude goes both ways. “I couldn’t be more thankful to sprint football,� Braccia said. “Above the game, [the team is] a family.� Braccia, Beamish and their five fellow seniors will finish out their sprint football careers next Friday against winless Princeton.

While it may not have been the on-field performance the team was looking for, Penn sprint football had a night to remember as it honored its senior players in their final home game. Penn was handed a 47-7 loss by a powerful Army squad that has not lost a game in three years. It was a disappointing loss for the Quakers (3-3) but even Penn’s coach acknowledged Army’s strengths. “Army plays to a different beat,� coach Bill Wagner said. “They play with a major mission, to win a battle, because they’re getting ready to win real battles. They bring that to the field. They’re hard to beat, they’re well coached, and they’ve got a lot of talent. They have that one mission — to win at all costs.� The loss also cost the Quakers junior wide receiver and tight end Brendan Dale, who injured his knee and is not expected to play in next week’s season finale. Dale had to be helped off the field by medical staff. However, returning from a concussion suffered last week was senior captain running back Mike Beamish, who returned for the final home game of his career. It was remarkable that Beamish was able to play at all given his truncated week of practice. Beamish, however, struggled to find holes against the powerful Army defense, as he tallied little more than one yard per carry on the night. The Black Knights (6-0) smothered the Red and Blue offense all night, sacking sophomore quarterback Mike McCurdy

Freshman forward Juliana Provini was Penn’s lone scorer against Yale, as the Quakers came close multiple times but were unable to tally a winning goal.
Two corner kicks in the last minute of regulation seemed promising, but the Quakers were unable to capitalize on their set pieces. With a 1-1 tie after 90 minutes, the game at Reese Stadium headed to overtime, which consisted of two sudden-death 10-minute periods. As tiredness and weary legs began to set in, the play became sloppier than either team would have liked. Back and forth kicks around the midfield made the game more akin to pinball than to soccer. However, the intensity and heart for both teams was evident
until the very last second. Both the Quakers and Bulldogs came painfully close to victory in the closing minutes of the game, with Mikolai launching a shot off the crossbar and Provini also missing a shot high for Penn. The Bulldogs too almost won the game in the final five seconds, but Terilli beautifully blocked a shot as time expired. Although they did not claim the victory, Penn has still not lost a game at Reese Stadium since 2004. The Quakers will lace up again on Tuesday night at Lehigh with the hopes of winning their final non-conference game.

Varga set the tone for the game right after Penn went three-andout to begin the game. Like he has done all year for Yale, the senior running back rushed into the second and third level, reeling off some solid runs to begin the game. And like it has done all year, Penn’s defense had a propensity to give up the big play. On fourth and one at the 22, Varga broke free and easily got into the endzone for a touchdown.

The Ivy League’s leading passer picked apart Penn’s secondary seemingly at will all game long, hitting wide receiver Deon Randall for one touchdown and backup running back Candler Rich for another. His favorite target, though, was Wallace, who abused Quakers cornerback Kevin Ijoma so badly in the first half that the senior was benched. Wallace caught 10 balls for 173 yards and added another touchdown in the second half.
“I knew [Roberts would] make the right reads,” Wallace said. “Our gameplan was really solid, so I was open based on what they were giving us and what the play calls were.” Ijoma — who would return to the field late in the third quarter — was not the only Penn defensive back to have a bad day at the office. Dan Wilk, Trevor Niemann and Dylan Muscat all gave up big plays as Penn coach Al Bagnoli shuffled the secondary to no avail. Even freshman Brandon Michel got burned on Wallace’s second score, which made it 43-14. “We’ve got to find some consistency back on the third level,”

And so we’re looking at some answers, we’ll go back, look at the film and see where we are. “We’ve just gotta be more in sync back there than what we are, and obviously that’s my fault.” Despite all of their defensive struggles, the Quakers still had a chance to make it a game late in the first half. After a big fourth down stop of Varga, Torgersen took over from his own 22 to engineer a nohuddle drive and pull the Quakers within eight points. Penn seemed to lose its momen-
ting on a sophomore quarterback.” Yes, this is Yale, a team that is bulldozing FCS (and FBS) defenses left and right. Varga and Roberts are early favorites for the Ivy League’s Offensive Player of the Year, and the team is a strong Ivy title contender. But there was time –— mostly before the season began — that Penn fancied itself an Ivy contender as well. Bagnoli said in the Ivy League’s preseason teleconference that the team’s front seven was going to be its strength. And it’s not like the defense didn’t have a plethora of upperclassmen returning. However, Yale, like Villanova, Dartmouth and two others before it, found Penn’s flaws and exploited them. It is clear by now that Penn has a problem with big plays. That they can’t effectively stop a good passing attack. That it struggles to stay balanced offensively. And with Brown and its improving offense coming to town for Homecoming, it is time for Penn to address these flaws in order to win.

tum, though, after the game was stopped for several minutes due to an apparent head injury to Yale cornerback Spencer Rymiszewski. The sophomore was stretchered off the field and had the face mask cut off of his helmet before being transported to a local hospital for concussion tests. Once play resumed, Scott slipped coming out of his break on what would have been a first down reception, dashing the Quakers’ hopes. By the end of the afternoon, Penn’s dream of seriously contending for the Ivy title had suffered a similar fate.

of the rest, scoring a few times and passingly adequately. As for the other four, those who played made little impact, and two did not touch the court at all. The loftiest expectations entering the game fell on junior shooting guard Tony Hicks, who will be counted on — as a leader and arguably the team’s best player — to erase the pains of yesteryear. He stood out defensively, applying great pressure beyond the three-point line to the Blue team’s guards. His ability to drive against bigger defenders shows that all his offseason work has been paying off. However, the scrimmage still exposed weaknesses in his game. Shifted to point guard for much of the game, Hicks was unable to get the Red team going in the
foes in Harvard and Princeton. Against an Elis team that has managed just one win on the season and ranks in the bottom 10 of all NCAA Division I teams in terms of RPI, a win was some-
what expected for the Quakers going into the match. Penn will take on West Virginia at Rhodes Field in its final nonconference match on Tuesday.

first half as they trailed by 10. Only when the coaches shifted senior guard Camryn Crocker — who was a strong playmaker in the game — from Blue to Red in the second half was Red able to pull within reach. Additionally, with over 10 seconds left each time, Hicks kept the rock for what should have been the closing shot of each half. Hicks not only missed on both attempts, he also gave the Blue team a few seconds to try — albeit unsuccessfully — to score. While there were bright spots in his game, Hicks will need to continue to improve in order to lead the Quakers throughout the season. Though play as a team shifted often from crisp to sloppy, the Quakers look ready to try and take back some control of the Ancient Eight. How much control will it be? That is yet to be answered.

NOTHING DOING IN NEW HAVEN FOOTBALL | Same problems plague Quakers in Ivy loss BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor NEW HAVEN — Entering Saturday’s game against Yale, Penn football knew it couldn’t try to tackle running back Tyler Varga one-on-one or allow quarterback Morgan Roberts to make big plays if it wanted to pull off an upset. The Red and Blue couldn’t do either of those things, and a familiar result ensued. Varga steamrolled Penn for 140 yards and two touchdowns and Roberts completed 26 of 29 passes for 346 yards and four scores as the Bulldogs emphatically put an end to the Quakers’ aspirations of ascending the Ivy standings, 43-21. It only took three series until it became apparent that this would be a long afternoon for Penn (1-5, 1-2 Ivy). After a Penn three-and-out, the Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1) took advantage of good field position at the Quakers’ 46 and let Varga do what he does best: truck defenders. The senior took the ball off left tackle on a fourth and one and sprung free for a 23-yard touchdown,
easily fending off an attempted strip from Penn safety Evan Jackson. “He’s just a big, strong running back, runs hard, keeps his balance pretty well,” Jackson said. “[You] just have to wrap up and swarm to the ball if you’re trying to tackle that kid.” The Quakers promptly took the ball down inside the Yale 20 after a 41-yard hookup between quarterback Alek Torgersen and wide receiver Conner Scott, but disaster ensued. Kicker Jimmy Gammill’s 31-yard field goal attempt was blocked at the line, and the Penn field-goal unit stood around in a stunning lack of awareness. Bulldogs linebacker Matthew Oplinger alertly scooped up the live ball and rumbled to the Penn 49. Roberts later connected with wideout Grant Wallace on an 18-yard strike to give Yale a 15-0 lead. Penn’s offense was able to shake off the shock and rally — somewhat. Torgersen and Scott connected eight times for 156 yards in the first half, including a pair of touchdowns that drew the Quakers within margins of 15-7 and 29-14, respectively. But Roberts was more than

Penn had little chance trying to stop Yale senior running back Tyler Varga on Saturday, as he rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns. On this play, he put Yale ahead for good on its first drive, reeling off a 23-yard dash. Varga helped put up 43 points, which were the most Yale scored against the Quakers since 1967.

Keith Bond. The goal was the first of the season for Bond and just the sixth goal that Yale has scored all season. Junior Forrest Clancy responded for the Quakers (6-6-1, 2-1-1) with a goal of his own just four minutes later to tie the game. While Penn and Yale each found multiple opportunities to score throughout the remainder of the game, neither
was able to find the back of the net. Overall, Yale was able to put more pressure on the Quakers’ defense, taking 17 shots to Penn’s nine. Junior goalkeeper Max Polkinhorne came up with a few key stops to maintain the tie, but the Quakers struggled to convert offensive opportunities of their own. With the draw, the Quakers
no longer control their own destiny in the Ivy League. The team sits in a three-way tie for second place, with Dartmouth reclaiming its spot atop the Ivies. While this match doesn’t necessarily eliminate Penn from title contention, it does mean that the Quakers require a Dartmouth loss or tie to move back
BY CARTER COUDRIET Staff Writer And so it begins. Penn basketball gave the Quakers faithful its first glimpse of the 2014-15 program on Saturday in its Red and Blue scrimmage. Though the Blue team ultimately won 33-32, the scoreboard itself mattered little. What did matter was the way in which the players performed in a real game scenario, and a team with many questions surrounding it provided few answers. The biggest of these questions pertained to coach Je-
rome Allen’s newest crop of freshmen, as the freshmen got their first taste of college basketball. Perhaps the best player on the court was freshman forward Mike Auger, who used 6-foot-7 stature and excellent movement to be successful in the paint . Though unable to finish on many moves in the first half, the New Hampshire product lit up in the second. Although he struggled a bit defensively against players driving to the basket, Allen may have found the cornerstone to his rebuilding project in Auger. As for the remainder of the freshmen, little can be said thus far. Guard Darnell Foreman was the strongest SEE M. HOOPS PAGE 9

beatable. But Penn football wasn’t able to do what the Big Green did. In fact, the Bulldogs accentuated the Quakers’ flaws throughout the game, letting a national TV audience see what has plagued the Red and Blue all year. For the first four games of Penn’s season, the Quakers simply couldn’t stop anyone. Jacksonville dropped 34 points. Villanova one-upped them with 41. Fordham finished off nonconference play with a 60-spot that left Penn fans weary. But the Columbia game became a beacon of hope for the Quakers as Penn did everything right for the majority of the game. The offense clicked with a balanced attack while the defense made the Lions look like mincemeat. Needless to say, Penn’s confidence was up after finally getting its first win. But it all came crumbling down against Yale, play-byplay, Tyler Varga run after Tyler Varga run. SEE TYDINGS PAGE 9
