THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Free speech: More than a policy Despite Penn’s efforts, many find it hard to speak up

CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

When Wharton junior Luis De Castro arrived at Penn, his freshman hall developed into a tight-knit group

of friends. But when a handful of his hallmates found out that he was prolife, their relationship took a “very distinct 180,” he said.

Like all Penn students, De Castro’s free speech is protected by the First Amendment, as well as Penn’s open expression guidelines. Universities like Penn are regarded as

havens of intellectual debate with a welcoming attitude toward diverse viewpoints. But students like De Castro — whose political or religious views are in the minority compared to those of Penn’s predominantly liberal student body — sometimes feel that free speech is limited by an unwillingness of their peers to hear and

consider the views of others.

Penn’s administration has taken several steps to address informal student censorship of this kind. It has revised Penn’s guidelines on open expressioninstead of “Open Expression guidelines” to prevent the disinvitation of speakers and accommodate SEE FREE SPEECH PAGE 2

THREE YEARS SINCE SANDY COURTESY OFWIKIMEDIA COMMONS

ELYAS TECLE

Three years prior to last Thursday, Penn was preparing for the worst

Oct. 28, 2012 was a gloomy Sunday on campus. Emergency relief teams drove by on ambulances, students piled into Fresh Grocer to stock up on food and the administration had already notified everyone that two days of classes were called off.

Hurricane Sandy was by far one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the Eastern seaboard in recorded history.

With its three-year anniversary having

passed on Thursday, it’s only appropriate to look back and understand how significant this event was.

That Sunday, as Hurricane Sandy barreled up the coast at around 15 mph with maximum sustained winds of around 90 mph, forecasters like myself knew that this storm was not to be taken lightly.

Though Penn’s campus managed to make it through the next few days with only a few overturned trees, the rest of

the coast wouldn’t be quite as lucky.

Evacuations had already started in many parts of our area, including the Jersey Shore and low-lying areas of New York City. As much of the area prepared for the worst, I’ll never forget sitting on my patio outside and feeling the small droplets of rain hit my face as the wind gusted to a calm 10 to 15 mph.

But just 10 hours later, Hurricane Sandy propelled towards the East Coast

Starbucks under 1920 Commons cuts night hours

Senior captain Tony Hicks plans to graduate in May STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Reporter

Study lounge remains open with new security JEFFREY CAREYVA Deputy News Editor

It’s not uncommon to study and then sleep the night away in Huntsman Hall, but finding coffee and food past midnight is the real problem.

If you don’t like Wawa coffee, you’re out of luck. The Starbucks under 1920 Commons, affectionately known as “Stommons,” recently reduced its hours to close at midnight, displeasing many of the students who would study there until the old 2 a.m. closing time.

The reduced hours were due to a “sharp drop in usage” of the Starbucks after 10 p.m., with almost no coffees being sold after 12 a.m., Business Services said. However, Business Services recognized that students value the study space so near to the high rises in Hamilton Village, so they invested in new gates and security to keep the lounge area open until 2 a.m. as usual.

The late closing time for the Starbucks under Commons was irregular compared to other locations in University City. The Starbucks at 34th and Walnut Streets closes at 12 a.m., while the one at 34th and Chestnut Streets regularly closes by 11 p.m. Capogiro,

Tony Hicks, Penn basketball’s leading scorer in each of the last two seasons, has decided to leave the program.

Despite being named a captain for the 2015-16 season, Hicks chose to walk away from the team after conversations with new coach Steve Donahue, according to a press release. Hicks is the first and only member of the program to leave since Donahue took over for Jerome Allen in March.

“After speaking with Coach

It is our duty to stand up and participate.”

Donahue about the best situation for Penn basketball and myself, I have decided the best decision for me will be to take a break from basketball,” Hicks said in the release. “I plan to graduate from Penn in May, and then take my next step as a basketball player next year.

“This is a personal decision, and I wrestled long and hard with it because I have thoroughly enjoyed playing for Penn the last three years and wearing the Red and the Blue. I want to wish the guys on the team and the coaches all the best for this season and future seasons, and I will definitely be backing them in the Palestra during these next several months.”

looked like a scene out of an apocalyptic movie. Facades flew off of houses, 8 million people were left without power, school and businesses were shut down or destroyed and 15,000 flights were delayed. Hurricane Sandy had been a worst case scenario for the Philadelphia area.

The magnitude of this storm was historic. Thousands are still rebuilding, but most have fully recovered from the damage.

Sandy cost the government over $60 billion in damages and over 200 deaths in seven countries.

This would become the second

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2015 costliest hurricane in the U.S. behind Hurricane Katrina.

This horror story started on Oct. 22, 2012 when Sandy became a tropical depression, simply a nuisance to those in Jamaica who have seen much worse. Late that night, low wind shear and warm waters allowed for this tropical depression to become Tropical Storm Sandy.

Trekking northward as a weak Category 1 Hurricane, Sandy barreled through Cuba. This is when forecasters started to worry about what Sandy would do.

On Oct. 24, 2012, an eye of the storm formed, though it was still considered Category 1 status.

A few days later while tracking north east, Sandy strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane off the coast of the southern U.S. Now was the time for federal officials and Penn President Amy Gutmann to hover the hand over the panic button.

What made Hurricane Sandy a disaster waiting to happen?

Well, for starters, it was not just a hurricane. It was a hurricane wrapped around a strong nor’easter. In meteorological terms, this is known as a hybrid storm. The wind field stretched over 1,000 miles in diameter, covering a third of the U.S. Plus, the barometric pressure — which indicates a stronger

storm the lower it is — was the lowest-ever pressure recorded in the Eastern U.S. at 940mb or 27.76inHg. But why did Hurricane Sandy make a sudden sharp left turn instead of just heading up the coast like a normal storm? The answer lies out in the midwest. An upper level disturbance dragged Hurricane Sandy westward quite rapidly. The first global computer model to pick up on the shift in track was the European model. Its superior algorithms allowed it to understand the “big picture” and see that Sandy was not just going to go up the coast.

The most horrific story I heard coming out of New York

City was of a hospital that had no backup generator lost power, leading to the evacuation of 200 people Monday night.

There were other stories of nurses running down flights of stairs with babies in their arms and firefighters who could not enter houses down the Jersey Shore, leaving the community devastated. The pictures I saw of friends’ houses and of areas with fallen trees and power lines made me feel like I had gone through nothing. I had stayed up all of Monday night after losing power around 8:15 p.m. and emptying water from a failing sump pump in my basement.

of the discussion you fall on,” he said, adding that people have assumed that he is anti-contraception and anti-woman because of his beliefs.

At Penn, De Castro said, those with dominant viewpoints can easily avoid perspectives with which they disagree. And when they do encounter such beliefs, he added, it is often in a way that gives those perspectives a bad reputation.

“I think the biggest problem is that people aren’t exposed to points of view that disagree with them — the only times you see those points of views is when it’s the really extreme people yelling it,” he said.

For people like De Castro, whose beliefs are in the minority, such a culture can be toxic to learning. “If you have the impression that everyone at your school thinks you’re an evil person, you will not be comfortable,” he said.

College junior and Daily Pennsylvanian columnist Jeremiah Keenan provides a voice

for students with certain conservative beliefs. He said he has often received pushback for expressing his views, such as an incident in which a girl refused to shake his hand.

“There are a lot of conservatives, more or less, who will stay underground at Penn,” Keenan said. “Because they’re not ready to pay that cost.”

Keenan explained that some career paths are already closed to him. Because of the opinion articles he has published online, he may not be able to get a tenured faculty position in a humanities or social science discipline. Already, students he does not know treat him differently because of his column.

“Sometimes they do, you know, take the time to give me a dirty look,” he said. “Of course it’s emotionally difficult.”

Bridging the gap Students and professors agree that a culture of increased tolerance needs to stem from the student body itself.

7/11 and the Fresh Grocer, but not everyone needs a hot coffee or focused environment to get work done.

For example, College sophomore Gabriela Goitia says she is not impacted by the loss of late hours at Starbucks under Commons.

“If I’m in dire need of caffeine, I just go to Wawa, so it’s not a huge problem,” Goitia said. “I’ll have some coffee

at like 11 p.m. or 12 a.m., but I’ve tried to cut back because it really doesn’t help me be productive.”

For another group of students, going out to study is overrated in the first place.

“I just feel most comfortable at home, and it would be like pretty depressing to be out at 3 a.m. in the engineering building,” Engineer ing senior Klyde Breitton said.

Others can only go ha rd in their studies in the right envi ron ment.

“It’s still really busy late at night — some people even sleep there — though most of the crowd clears out by 3 a.m. or so,” Chan said.

Free speech: Timely and timeless Penn’s administration does not lack in its commitment to free speech. Penn President Amy Gutmann, whose research focuses on political science, explained that open expression is “both timely and timeless,” and that it is a fundamental aspect of democracy, applying to students, faculty and staff.

“The university campus is incredibly important because freedom of expression is not only a reflection of individual rights but also productive of greater understanding across differences,” she said. “Penn has been recognized as a model of affording and encouraging and protecting freedom of expression.”

Unlike many universities, Penn has never withdrawn a commencement speaker’s invitation.

It remains the only Ivy League school to have earned a “green light” rating from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Education, an award given to universities whose policies do not impede students’ right to free speech.

However, over the last few years, issues like race, sexual assault and mental health have shaken Penn’s campus, causing tension and creating the potential for students to dismiss others’

beliefs.

“I am reassured about the general condition about free speech and the support by the administration of the University at this time,” said History professor Alan Charles Kors, who has been vocal in his support of free speech for decades. “What I do find occasionally ominous is when students themselves call for censorship on their own campus.”

Kors cited the “apparently growing belief that everyone has a right not to be offended” as a possible reason for student censorship. Penn Law professor Stephanos Bibas, who chaired the 2014-2015 Committee on Open Expression, agreed.

This generation of college students, Bibas said, has grown up in an increasingly polarized world — prior to Penn, most have not encountered many perspectives that differ from their own.

Media outlets have grown closer and closer to one side or the other.

And when students arrive at college, some expect to avoid issues that make them uncomfortable.

However, Bibas believes that college is an opportunity to be exposed to diverse viewpoints.

“Part of your education here is getting used to dealing with positions you view as offensive,” he said. “We have to learn to disagree civilly because that’s what tolerance is about — tolerance is not about shutting down the people we disagree with.”

A cultural issue However, the shutting down of beliefs is precisely what students often have to deal with, especially those who come from conservative political or religious backgrounds. De Castro, who identifies as a “moderate conservative” and is a member of the pro-life activist group Penn for Life, said that in his experience, students care more about what his views are than the reasoning behind them.

“People here at Penn, and people on most college campuses in general, they don’t really care about what you’re saying, the specifics of it — just what side

“Students really need to bear witness to their desire to be treated as free adults who have the right to hear whoever they wish to hear on a college campus,” Kors said. “We cannot be a major university without free speech.”

Kors added that he would love to see an increase in the number of debates and discussions on campus that address contentious issues. “I would just encourage, as strongly as I could, that students who are in any way frightened about speaking their minds on campus to speak their minds, knowing that the institutions of the University and that the administration itself will stand in support of their freedoms.”

College junior Will Shirey, who described himself as “engaged with the conservative canon,” urged students to understand viewpoints that are different from their own, saying that “individual students should make it a point to really engage with the thoughts they disagree with.” Meanwhile, De Castro suggested that Penn force students of different ideological backgrounds to engage with each other through groups or classes.

Bibas said that Penn students should prepare themselves for the real world, which he said will be “tougher and ruder” than college.

In order to do so, he suggested they more actively engage with students who hold different beliefs.

“As long as we can stay within civility — no threats, no force — all the other viewpoints need to be on the table and not suppressed,” Bibas said. “Because Penn would be a lot worse off if it were a monoculture.”

The bridging of gaps, Bibas added, can be accomplished through openmindedness and friendship.

“Host debates with people you vehemently disagree with,” he said. “Have dinner with them.”

the increasingly digital landscape of communication. The Campaign for Community, launched last spring, aims to foster conversations among students that will help them understand and respect others’ perspectives.

But students and professors agree that the problem is cultural — administrators can plan events or amend regulations, but only students determine how open they are to others’ ideas.

Wharton fashionista is a social media star Morgan Brown has over 140,000 YouTube subscribers ELIZABETH WINSTON Staff Reporter

Wharton sophomore Morgan Brown has styled her own path at Penn. While her peers seek coveted consulting and banking jobs, Brown is using social media and creativity to get to the top.

“I’m not taking the typical Wharton route,” Brown said. “I can capitalize on what I’ve learned here and carry it onto my own personal business.”

Brown first became a wellknown personality on YouTube and Instagram, which then allowed her to work on larger creative projects.

Brown’s YouTube career began because of her love of social media and expressing herself creatively.

After seeing YouTube channels that focused on beauty and fashion, Brown decided to create her own channel.

Since starting her channel “ItsHeyMorgan” in January 2014, she has attracted over 140,000 subscribers, and some videos have had more than 1 million views.

For Brown, how she presents herself online is one of the most important parts of her channel.

“I’m very expressive, theatrical and I’m very personal with my audience because if you put yourself on YouTube you have to be open,” said Brown. “You want to be as transparent as possible.”

It is also important to Brown that her content is original and that it represents who she is. When asked about her own style, Brown said, “I think it depends on how I wake up that morning.”

Her closet is based on simplicity, and features a lot of black, white and grey. Her hat is her must-have accessory on a daily basis.

You can most likely identify Brown on campus rocking her big black hats. “Every time she wears it, it’s been something different and she always brings a new look to the hat,”

Wharton sophomore Morgan Brown recently created an app and clothing line to promote her personal brand.

College junior Chaz Smith, a friend and collaborator said.

Aside from promoting her own take on fashion, this fashionista has used her online fame to create a potential career path. Brown has continued to use her social media presence to create and promote her

own brand, which now includes an app and clothing line.

The app, which allows her viewers to see behind the scenes of her videos and also offers exclusive tips, is currently available on the app store for free. Brown said she had the opportunity to charge money for

the app, but she would rather have it be available to as many people as possible.

Just last week, Brown rocked an outfit with the first shirt from her very own clothing line. The shirt says “Not Today” in black print on a white background. It costs $22 and is currently the only item available in the clothing line so far. Brown hopes to expand the line and keep prices relatively low in comparison to other small brands.

Currently, Brown is working on a collaboration with Smith, who is also known on campus for his social media presence.

The idea to collaborate began when a mutual friend suggested the two should work together. “I looked her up and I was like ‘Woah, how does she have like 100,000 subscribers on YouTube?’” Smith said.

“That’s pretty cool.”

As one of their collaborations, Smith and Brown have joined forces to make videos for a new media site, FlockU. Smith was originally picked up by the creators of FlockU

because of his popularity on Vine.

Smith describes FlockU as a cross between “Sparknotes and Groupon except with videos and articles for college students.”

The website launched Sunday Nov. 1, and college students can sign up for an account to gain access to their entertainment content. FlockU will be partnering with various businesses, enabling it to give discounts to those college students who subscribe.

The first video made by Smith and Brown for the site is entitled “20 things you should know about college”, which is intended to be a funny video about what they would’ve liked to know before coming to college.

On working with Brown, Smith said, “she’s hilarious, really creative, fun to be around and really down to earth.”

For other students interested in creating a social media presence, Brown advises, “Stop worrying about how others are going to perceive it, don’t be shy, just do it.”

Gutmann’s $3.5 million salary due to fundraising success Making History Campaign raised $800k over its goal CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

During the 2014 fiscal year, Penn President Amy Gutmann’s total compensation increased to nearly $3.5 million, a 21 percent jump from the 2013 fiscal year. This sharp increase in her pay can be attributed to a number of factors, but perhaps the single most important one is Gutmann’s success in fundraising for the University.

According to Penn Board of Trustees Chair David L. Cohen, “a significant portion of the President’s compensation is in her performance bonus,” reflecting the success of the Making History Campaign, where Penn raised $4.3 billion — $800,000 more

than its target of $3.5 billion.

Cohen added that “the Trustees feel strongly that we have the best university president in the country in Amy Gutmann and we believe her compensation should reflect that reality.”

One reason for the immense success of the Making History Campaign, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations John Zeller said, was the “broad base of involvement” among all groups of donors. Of the total money raised during the campaign, 23 percent came from donations ranging between $1 and $999,999 — a statistic Zeller deemed “pretty astounding.”

Zeller also traced the campaign’s success to its focus on three pillars — expanding student aid, recruiting and retaining top faculty and engaging with alumni — themes that have

characterized Gutmann’s presidential goals as well.

“It’s also the consistency of [the] message that Amy has had since the day she arrived here,” Zeller said.

“Those very specific objectives tend to resonate with our alumni.”

Future fundraising will continue to build upon the success of the campaign while refining efforts toward specific groups — for example, fundraising efforts appeal to younger alumni with late-night events to accommodate their work schedules.

Accounting professor Wayne Guay, who has researched executive compensation, explained that in the world of executives, it is not unusual to see compensation packages in the multimillion dollar range.

“A lot of large nonprofit organizations are very complex and do require a very highly skilled person to run that organization, so finding

nonprofit leaders that make multiples of several million dollars would not be that uncommon,” Guay said, adding that other large nonprofit institutions like hospitals and museums often have highly-compensated executives as well.

Penn especially, Guay said, is unique in its urban location and large network of graduate and professional schools, especially the hospital system — and running an institution that size needs a special pair of hands.

“Finding someone with the talent and the ability to run a big organization like the University of Pennsylvania is not that easy to find,” Guay said. “And if you think you have a superstar, you have to figure out how to keep that person.”

Ultimately, Guay said that if Gutmann’s performance in fundraising and other areas has been

extraordinary, she deserves to see significant increases in her compensation. But in future years, he added, if efforts are met with less success, her compensation should decline as well.

“You would expect that when performance isn’t as good, that the compensation would fall,” Guay said, “and we’ll see whether that happens or not.”

Students call for Penn to revoke Cosby’s degree

Cosby received honorary degree from Penn in 1990 ISABEL KIM Deputy News Editor

In light of the recent news that Bill Cosby allegedly assaulted race officiant Donna Barrett at the 2004 Penn Relays, students are questioning whether Penn should revoke Cosby’s honorary degree. Many other universities, such as Lehigh University and Tufts University, have already

done so.

Penn has declined to comment on whether it’s considering falling in line with these other institutions. Cosby received his honorary Doctorate of Laws from Penn in 1990 and was the commencement speaker in 1997.

Students have called for the University to take a stand against Cosby, who now faces accusations from over 50 women who say the comedian raped or sexually assaulted them.

“We shouldn’t be viewing him

as someone we should be commending for his achievements,” College sophomore Victoria Xiao said. “Even without the incident where he allegedly assaulted a woman at the Penn Relays, it’s clear that Bill Cosby is not someone who should be admired or commended.”

One student, who took her case to Penn after being sexually assaulted, said she doubts Penn will denounce Cosby and is not surprised Penn has remained silent thus far. She believes Penn

does not have enough reason to take away Cosby’s degree.

The Penn Association for Gender Equity argues that Penn’s silence is tacit approval of the allegations of sexual assault held against Cosby.

“Honorary degrees are [a] university’s way of commending individuals for their contribution to society and the way they live their lives. Penn should not honor individuals that perpetuate sexual assault — and more broadly — and a culture of

shame and silencing of sexual assault survivors,” a representative from PAGE wrote in an email.

The Association of American University’s recent sexual climate survey results suggest Penn students are slow to trust the administration’s handling of sexual misconduct cases. Just over half of respondents from Penn reported that a victim reporting a sexual violence crime would be supported by the university. The survey found that by senior year, almost a third of Penn female

undergrads say they’ve been sexually assaulted. In an email to the Penn community, Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price said the administration finds the results of the survey “deeply troubling.”

The Penn Women’s Center did not respond to emails requesting comment, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Life referred comment to University Communications, which has declined to comment on the issue.

Penn is No. 15 in first-ever ranking by The Economist

The rankings look at the economic value of a school SYDNEY SCHAEDEL Staff Reporter

The Economist released its first ever college rankings on Thursday, and they’re all about the money.

Penn comes in 15th in the rankings, which take a new approach to college comparisons by focusing exclusively on economic value rather than quality of professors, student experiences or housing options. The Economist defines economic value as the gap between how much money its graduates earn, and how much they might have made had they studied elsewhere.

To determine this difference, The Economist pulled data from the Department of Education’s “scorecard” website. They found that certain factors correlate with high earnings, like SAT scores.

High scorers earn high salaries, no matter where they go. Location is also important, as urban schools tend to have graduates who make more money. If a school has high numbers of engineers or business majors, earnings also go up.

The Economist created a model to combine all of these factors and determine what alumni should theoretically make after graduating from a specific university. Penn students, for instance, should make $68,813 on average according to the model.

Schools rank higher on the list when graduates’ actual earnings exceed this theoretical average salary, and schools rank lower when graduates make less.

Penn graduates’ actual average earnings from 2001-2011 were $78,000, so Penn over performs by $9,387.

Topping the list is Washington and Lee University, a small, elite private school in Virginia. The Economist ranked it number one not because graduates on average make substantially more than other schools — they make, on average, $600 less than Penn, for instance — but because Washington and Lee’s rural location and liberal arts focus mean graduates should be less likely to bring in high salaries. Washington and

Lee’s actual average earnings exceeded expectations by $22,377.

The Economist said in an accompanying article to the rankings that Washington and Lee “combines the intimate academic setting and broad curriculum of a [liberal arts college] with a potent old-boy network.”

Babson, Villanova and Harvard come in second, third and fourth, respectively, and Harvard is the only Ivy League school ranked above Penn. The Economist’s model shows that prestige isn’t everything — Yale came in at number 1,270. Yale underperforms by about as much as Penn over performs, by -$9,590.

“Yale’s students are statistically identical to their Harvard counterparts. Yet its alumni made

‘just’ $66,000 a year,” The Economist said. “Harvard students

may well be more career-driven than cerebral Yalies.”

Bloody dresses on Locust support black trans women’s rights SOUL revamps Ferguson Fridays this semester ISABEL KIM Deputy News Editor

GARRETT NELSON | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

SOUL installed white dresses with splattered red paint in order to raise awareness of the violence and oppression of black transgender women.

If you’ve walked down Locust Walk in the past week, you’ve probably noticed the white dresses with red paint splattered on them hung on lampposts.

These dresses are an installation by Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation, in order to raise awareness of the violence and oppression that black transgender women face.

In a continuation of last year’s Ferguson Fridays campaign — where SOUL put on demonstrations to protest racial

discrimination on Fridays — the group has been putting up installations on campus since September, and aims to continue to do so throughout the semester.

Last year’s installations, which were focused on the police brutality, especially following the unrest in Ferguson, MO following the death of a young black man, Michael Brown, after he was shot multiple times by a police officer.

However, this year, SOUL is focusing on a smaller, more unrepresented group. SOUL wants to raise awareness of the “tremendous levels of violence at systemic and interpersonal levels” that black transgender women face, according to a press release on the dress installation. The press

release says that over the past year, 17 black transgender women were killed — a number that is probably underreported.

SOUL doesn’t currently have any members who fit in the intersection of black transgender women, College senior and SOUL Co-Founder Gina Dukes said, but recent events in Philadelphia and in the wider world have inspired the group to raise awareness about the challenges they face.

“We don’t want to speak for them, we just want to raise awareness to their issues,” Dukes said.

SOUL chose to use the white dresses with red paint to symbolize bloodstains as the installation because it was reminiscent of femininity and “oftentimes the

black trans women that are killed present as femme,” Dukes said.

Likewise, the installation was aimed to get people’s attention, as are all their installations.

SOUL hopes that these installations will provoke discussion among the Penn community, and that students will engage with the installations.

“We’re hoping that people read it and notice it, that’s the first thing,” Dukes said, “we want to get feedback, we want to hear what people think about it.”

“Our whole thing is igniting the soul, we want to spur students to care more about issues,” Dukes said. “We live in the Penn bubble and there’s real stuff happening outside it.”

PENN 75 12 PRINCETON

Quakers cap season with drubbing of Tigers SPRINT FB | Penn scores

11 TDs on Senior Night SANJAY DURESETI Sports Reporter

Technically, two teams stepped on Franklin Field to play a game of sprint football. Based on the final score, however, only one actually showed up.

On Friday, Penn sprint football wrapped up its season in dominating fashion, crushing a hapless Princeton squad, 75-12. The score represented the Quakers’ highest output of the campaign and helped continue the Tigers’ 16year winless streak — in addition to not having won a single game since 1999, it has been two decades since Princeton dealt its rivals in Philadelphia a loss.

Before scoring 11 touchdowns on their way to victory, the Red and Blue celebrated Senior Night, as the friends and families of graduating players filled the stands to watch them play the last game of their careers.

What a way to go out.

Penn, which improved to 5-2

HICKS

>> PAGE 1

If Hicks had played for the Quakers this season, he would have had to work within a new system after originally coming to Penn as one of Allen’s recruit.

Donahue told The Daily Pennsylvanian last week that Hicks had taken more time to get used to his system than fellow senior captain Darien Nelson-Henry.

However, the senior guard’s three-point shooting — he hit 37.1 percent of his shots from deep in 2014-15 — may have been able to translate into Donahue’s offensive system, which highly values three-point shots.

“For Tony, it’s probably a little more difficult, just because he’s been a guy who’s been relied on to score so much,” Donahue told the DP. “And this offense isn’t necessarily gonna ask him to take the ball and create plays for himself and others. We’re going to do it collectively. Assists are going to be shared. [It’s] just a different way to play. I think he’s been committed to getting better. No one works harder, on and off the court.”

While Hicks is the only player

The Quakers concentrated the brunt of their attack on the ground, outgaining Princeton by

to leave the Penn program, other players around the Ivy League have foregone their senior seasons or used their final season of eligibility to pursue a chance at larger Division I institutions in the last few seasons. This includes former Dartmouth guard Alex Mitola — now at George Washington — and Cornell guard Shonn Miller, who left for Connecticut.

It remains to be seen how Hicks will continue his basketball career, either at another university as a graduate transfer or professionally. Neither Hicks nor Donahue were able to be reached for comment at this time.

“I wish him well, and we will continue to do all that we can to help Tony advance his game for his next step,” Donahue said in the release. “As for this year’s team, we will move forward and continue preparing for the upcoming season.”

Undoubtedly, the Quakers are dealt a blow to their potential rotation in 2015-16. Hicks started 64 games in his time with the Red and Blue, the most of any Penn player in that span. He reached the 1000-point plateau last season and put up over 10 points per game in all three years with the team.

268 yards. Eight different players scored, with star freshmen Max Jones and Jake Klaus each contributing one rushing touchdown while junior quarterback Mike McCurdy used his legs to score

While Hicks was an offensive threat for the Quakers, his tenure with the program was marked by a handful of on- and off-the-court incidents.

The South Holland, Ill., native was suspended for a total of four games across his three seasons.

Along with four teammates, Hicks was suspended one game in 2012 due to a failed drug test, while he missed a game his sophomore season after punching Columbia guard Meiko Lyles. He was suspended for an Ivy roadtrip last season after his conduct during a loss to Brown at home.

Penn does have a crowded backcourt heading into the season, featuring junior Matt Howard, sophomores Antonio Woods and Darnell Foreman and the return of senior Jamal Lewis. On top of that, the team has added freshmen guards Jake Silpe, Jackson Donahue and Tyler Hamilton. The Quakers return a total of 85 starts by members of their current backcourt, including three by junior Matt Poplawski last season.

The Red and Blue will begin their season on Nov. 13 at home against Robert Morris, a team led by coach Andy Toole, a former Penn guard.

give the Quakers the 2-1 lead.

“It was a big deal to score a winning collegiate goal, and I think we played with more intensity after that. We had the security to step it up and start to play Penn field hockey,” Garzio said.

Though the offense found its rhythm in the second half, sophomore goalkeeper Liz Mata held down the fort for the Quakers on the defensive end throughout the game, posting a critical save off of a penalty stroke.

“It’s quite unusual to see that, as the advantage is clearly

Marcus Jones also had a big game for the Quakers, racking up eight total tackles and leading a defense that limited Princeton to 130 yards.

Friday night, however, was all about the seniors.

Henry Mason, Penn’s leading receiver, tallied 53 yards and two touchdowns in his final game.

In recording 1003 career yards, Mason is just the third receiver to reach the 1000-yard plateau in school history. His 627 yards in his senior season also marks the second-highest single-season total in Penn history.

Despite a heartbreaking double-overtime loss to Army the week prior, one that dashed the Quakers’ conference title hopes, Mason and his fellow seniors walk away satisfied with their accomplishments this season.

“It’s bittersweet. I’m sad that it’s done but it’s great to go out with a great group of guys,” Mason said. “They’re my best friends, and it’s nice to go out with a good season. I think our record [was our biggest accomplishment]. It all almost came together, and I think that reflects

to the offensive player,” Fink said.

For Mata, this feat was all about keeping her head in the game.

“Strokes are 90 percent mentality, you try to get focused on the ball and clear your head.

Getting into that mentality helped me to save it,” she said.

Staying true to their brand of field hockey and keeping their confidence level high will be critical in the upcoming Ivy title game against No. 20 Princeton. Though the Tigers are a formidable opponent, the Red and Blue have had no lack of high-profile opponents, falling by only a goal to 10thranked Liberty on Sept. 4.

on the whole team.”

Coach Bill Wagner emphasized the impact that this season’s graduating core had on the development of his program.

“Our seniors did a super job this year,” Wagner said. “Our captains and other seniors that were on the squad really brought that young group of freshmen in.

There wasn’t any class distinction at all.”

And, looking ahead, Wagner and his team envision an age of prosperity in the coming years. “[The players] are talking title already,” Wagner commented.

“You can see the development of [Sam] Smallzman, [James] Juliano and [Tom] Console. We have a lot of really good freshmen and newcomers, and we’re really looking forward to next season.”

While Penn sprint football foresees a bright future, there are no certainties on the field. Injuries and close losses are always possibilities.

One thing the Quakers can count on, however, is that while they may face many challenges, Princeton likely will not be one of them.

While their 13-2 record speaks for itself, the Quakers have kept a level head in the midst of an outstanding season.

“We put the games in our past behind us, even when we’ve won. We’re very down to earth, and we take things one game at a time,” Garzio said.

Penn will rely on its forwa rd-m i nde d , agg ressive mentality to try to pull out a win against the rival Tigers in the face of adversity. When taking Brown down, it was just enough.

“Strong teams find a way to win,” Fink said. “There was a lot of pressure and a lot of things on the line today, but we found a way to prevail.”

Just when it looked like the Quakers would fall behind again, a timely interception by freshman Sam Philippi allowed the momentum to switch in favor of the visitors. After a few nice gains by junior running back Brian Schoenauer helped move Penn deep into Bears territory, another pass — this time to sophomore running back Tre Solomon — saw Penn grab a 14-7 lead at the end of the first

quarter.

The Quakers came out firing on all cylinders in the second quarter, scoring on consecutive drives to widen the gap between the two teams. The squad wouldn’t look back. After Torgersen made it 21-7 on a 13-yard scamper, a fumble recovery by senior linebacker Tyler Drake set Penn up at Brown’s 17.

Three plays later, Torgersen found Eric Fiore for the former’s fourth touchdown of the first half.

An interception late in the second quarter by sophomore Brandon Mills allowed the Red and Blue to punish the Bears even further, as they ended the

half with a last-second touchdown run by Solomon, making the score 35-7. “I’m very, very proud of how they came out in the first half and how they performed,� coach Ray Priore said. “Right now, we’re rebounding well.

We’re very resilient.� “We stayed pretty levelheaded,� Watson noted. “We seem to respond well to adversity.�

A fter staunch defensive performances against Columbia and Yale the previous two weeks, Penn forced five turnovers on Saturday, four of which resulted in touchdowns.

In fact, the defense played its

best game of the season by many accounts — it gave up just a paltry 18 yards on the ground to the Brown attack, and the five takeaways are the most in a single game for the Red and Blue since 2008. “If you can capitalize on those turnovers, it’s all momentum,� Priore said, “It gives your team a high.�

That high spread throughout the team as the offense churned out seven touchdowns, including three from Solomon — his third straight multi-touchdown game — and four total from Torgersen, who reached an incredible milestone during the game. In only his second full

season at the helm, the junior gunslinger became just the fourth quarterback in school history to accrue more than 4,000 yards passing.

The junior quarterback cited his squad’s good habits for its recent productivity. “We’re practicing very well every week,� he said. “This offense is starting to click really well right now.�

Despite blowing away the opposition in Providence, Priore remains convinced the Quakers have yet to achieve their full potential. “We’re not working on all eight cylinders right now — about six and a half, or seven,�

Priore said. “We still have got to get a little bit better here at the end [of the season].�

Penn still has three games left to rise up to Priore’s standards. With only one team — undefeated Harvard — sitting above the Red and Blue in the Ivy standings, the team still has an opportunity to disrupt the conference’s title race if it continues winning, beginning with next Saturday’s Homecoming matchup against archrival Princeton.

And if the Quakers’ recent performances are anything to go by, they’ll give the Tigers an even bigger fright than they dished out this Halloween.

Building off the men’s momentum, the women’s team beat out Cornell, Harvard and Dartmouth with 114 points in the 6K race that evening — a solid turnaround from 2014’s last-place finish.

The women secured three spots in the top 25. Junior Ashley Montgomery finished fifth overall with a time of 21:19.9 and notched a spot on the All-Ivy first team. “All the women in the top 10 are actually quite competitive, even on a national scope,� coach Steve Dolan said. “For Ashley to finish fifth overall and run

at that level was pretty amazing thing. The progression she’s had the last two years is amazing too.�

Following in 13th, junior Cleo Whiting finished half a minute after Montgomery and was second team All-Ivy, while her twin sister, Clarissa, trailed at 23rd. “Our goal was to finish in the middle of the upper half of the league, and it’s a strong league,� Dolan said. “So to have two women earn all-conference honors and help our team move to fifth place on the women’s made it a very strong day for us.�

“In my four years at Penn, I haven’t seen any individual girls make first or second team AllIvy, so that was really cool for Ashley and Cleo,� Awad said of his junior teammates.

Dolan also commended the efforts and talents of the team on Friday. “It’s not very easy, you know,�

Dolan explained. “There’s that natural feeling of expectations, and to be able to handle the pressure of those expectations and perform that well is quite a skill. “I have truly felt their hard work, and I am very proud of

them. There is so much work and literally, thousands of miles that go into doing what they do at this level of running.�

But the Quakers aren’t finished yet. In two weeks, the team will be competing at the NCAA Regional Championships for the Mid-Atlantic region.

With the bittersweet taste of a close victory in their mouth, the Red and Blue are out for blood.

More determined than ever, the team is pushing to secure a slot in the NCAA Championships. “We wanted the Heps title, we didn’t get it. But we still

know we’re a good team — the best team we’ve had at Penn for a long time,� Awad said. “And we’re good enough to make it to the NCAAs.�

Despite their performance at Heps, the team will have its work cut out for them for regionals on Nov. 13. “The top teams right now are Villanova, Georgetown and Navy. We have to beat two of those teams,� Awad said. “So we’re just doing everything in the next two weeks that we can to get ourselves ready for that.� “We just have to go out there and do it.�

game on the block, with 13 blocks to the Quakers’ four; they took the life out of the Red and Blue attack. “We are a very mental team — so physically we are up there with every team — but if we aren’t there mentally, then it kind of gets us down, so we have to bring energy all the time,� sophomore outside hitter Kendall Covington said. “And bringing energy brings us points every time.�

Despite out-attacking the Crimson, 150-130, Penn logged a hitting percentage of only .073. Senior rightside hitter Alex Caldwell was the sole player to notch 10 kills on the night for the Quakers.

And yet, whereas the Red and Blue struggled to maintain consistency Friday, it seemed like a different team was on the court Saturday against Dartmouth (9-10, 6-4).

Penn was noticeably more effective at controlling the game, both off the serve and at the net. Like the previous night,

the Quakers opened up each set with a small lead except, this time, they managed to hold the line.

After a slog through the first set that saw the Red and Blue triumph, 26-24, the remainder of the game wasn’t nearly as close. A 25-19 second-set win made the match 2-0, and Penn finished things off shortly thereafter, dispatching the Big Green, 25-18, in the final frame.

With the win, the Quakers sealed a season sweep against the Ivy League’s second-place team — and they’ll be the only team in the conference to silence the upstart Dartmouth squad twice this year. “I will say, our girls definitely rose to the occasion tonight,� Penn coach Kerry Carr said. “They trust the system, they see it works.�

The Quakers’ spread-out play was critical in the team’s bounce-back win. Although senior outside hitter Alexis Genske’s team-high nine kills

weren’t eye-popping, five players on the team ended up with six or more kills, and four logged 10 or more digs on the night. “If we get two or three of our hitters connecting like that, that’s when we produce the win,� Carr said. “It is about spreading out the offense and people not taking turns, but not everyone going off at the same time.�

Senior Ronnie Bither also recorded her 10th double-double of the year, with 16 digs and 36 assists.

On Saturday, the Red and Blue translated the energy that’s been present on the court into steady success and mental consistency that they have struggled to maintain all year.

Now, as the season winds down and an Ivy title sits out of reach for the sixth-place Quakers, the team has a chance to prove if that intensity can hold.

There are two weekends left.

Four games to go. And who knows how many wins.

Once again, Penn shoots but doesn’t score in loss

W. SOCCER | Frustrating

’15 campaign continues SAM ALTLAND Sports Reporter

It was a storybook night for one of the Ivy League soccer teams playing in Providence this weekend.

Unfortunately, that team wasn’t Penn.

On a night where Brown honored coach Phil Pincince in his last home game after 39 years at the helm, the Bears were able to hang onto an early one-goal lead to beat the visiting Quakers, 1-0.

The first half proved to be yet another early period of offensive frustration for the Quakers (6-4-5, 1-2-3 Ivy), as Brown’s defense and freshmen keeper Christine Etzel held off Penn’s clear attacking advantage. The Red and Blue tallied seven shots to go along with five corner

kicks in the first half, the most dangerous of which came from the head of freshman midfielder Allie Trzaska, which Etzel was just able to parry off the crossbar.

However, while Penn was unable to make the most of its early opportunities, Brown (67-2, 2-3-1) cashed in on its lone chance of the first half. In the 21st minute, junior midfielder Carly Gould converted a penalty kick after a foul on Penn in the defensive area, netting the Bears the only goal of the match.

“While we clearly have things we want to change both on the offense and defensive side, I think that on the positive side you can see how many teams, particularly in the conferences, we have gone out and dominated offensively,” coach Nicole Van Dyke said.

“Despite our difficulty in finishing chances this year, our team wants to go out every game and prove to everyone that

Freshman midfielder Allie Trzaska’s header was one of the best scoring opportunites for the Quakers on Saturday in their lost to Brown.

we are a very talented team and that our record doesn’t speak to

how dominant we’ve been and how good we will be in years to come,” she added After the break, the game began to open up for both sides as Brown manufactured some consistent offensive pressure while Penn responded by continuing to pound away at the Bears defense.

The Quakers earned another four corner kicks in the second half while junior defender Olivia Blaber looked dangerous in the attacking third, as she lead the squad with four shots. Her best attempt of the day almost pulled Penn back lever right after the break in the 48th minute, but a low header was denied by a diving save by Etzel.

At the other end of the pitch, senior keeper Kalijah Terilli and the Quakers’ defense seemed to recover well from their first-half mishap, holding off the Bears attacking surges with relative ease. The damage

was already done though, and despite four Penn players recording three or more shots, the back of the net eluded the Quakers offense for the rest of the game.

The final score did little to reflect the shot differential, which favored Penn, 16-7. In their last six matches, the Quakers have outshot their opponents 93-37, despite going 2-2-2 over that same stretch.

“Its frustrating for both the players and the coaching staff to see these tight defensive games go the other way because

we can see how we are doing all the right things besides putting the ball in the back of the net,” Van Dyke said. “Unfortunately, you don’t win games by outshooting teams, because if [that was true] we would only have lost two games this year.

“So we have to hope we change that next year.”

Penn will host to Princeton next weekend for its final game of the season — and will look to send their senior class off in style by denying the visiting Tigers an outright Ivy League title.

Penn gets second place at Ivy Heps XC | Back-to-back titles for Awad

as Quakers improve on 2014 CASSANDRA DINH Sports Reporter

GREG CARROCCIO | COURTESY OF PENN ATHLETICS

Senior Thomas Awad captured his second straight Ivy title in the 8000-meter race.

What a difference 42 years makes.

In Friday’s Ivy League Heptagonal Championships in the Bronx, N.Y., Penn cross country secured a second-place finish on the men’s side and a fifth-place finish on the women’s side, the best the men have performed at Heps since 1973.

The men started off strong and secured five spots among the top-25 runners. Despite his inconsistencies throughout the season, senior Thomas Awad won his second consecutive title and made first team All-Ivy with a time of 24:26.4.

“I was pretty happy,” Awad said about his victory. “My season hadn’t really been going as I had hoped. I’ve been feeling really good about my workouts, but the races haven’t been going super great.

“This was the first race where I felt like myself again.”

Junior Brendan Shearn followed Awad in 12th with a time of 25:04.1, with junior Nick Tuck crossing three seconds later in 13th place. Both made second team All-Ivy. Moments later, sophomore Ross Wilson and senior Brendan Smith finished successively at 21st and 22nd.

PROVIDENCE, RI — It was no tricks, all treats for Penn football on Halloween against Brown.

After going down early in the first quarter for the fifth game in a row, the Q ua ker s explode d i nto life, embarrassing a Bears team that entered the game with as much momentum as any other team in the Ivy League. Despite trailing 7-0 midway through the first quarter, Penn reeled off 41

consecutive points in a 31minute span en route to a 48-28 romp that wasn’t even as close as the scoreboard made it seem.

The Red and Blue (4-3, 3-1 Ivy) looked unsure of themselves early on, with the Bears (4-3, 2-2) threatening to capitalize on their shaky start. After the Quakers

Penn field hockey is going big-game hunting.

The Quakers took down Brown, 2-1, in their penultimate league matchup this past Saturday, their last contest before trying to take home the big prize — a win in the proverbial Ivy League title game against the Princeton on Saturday.

The Red and Blue (13-2, 5-1 Ivy) struggled early on, letting up a goal from the Bears’ Jaclyn Torres and failing to find the net themselves, though not for lack of trying.

The Quakers outshot Brown

(6-9, 1-5), 10-7, in the first half but couldn’t translate their attempts from the field onto the scoreboard. Despite the lack of numbers in the first half, Penn stayed calm.

Coach Colleen Fink drew upon her team’s history of come-from-behind wins to influence her and her team’s mindset going into the second half of Saturday’s game.

“I still felt confident going into the second half,” Fink said.

“We’ve been in a lot of situations like that this year, and we pulled from a game like Drexel, where we were down early and went into the half down one, but scored five goals in the second half and ended up playing very well.”

Any nervousness about

a lack of scoring dissipated thanks to junior midfielder Elise Tilton, who scored the Red and Blue’s first goal within five minutes of the beginning of the second half.

“We started the first half on the wrong foot, but we came into the second half and played our style of field hockey,” Tilton said.

“Scoring the goal was a relief, but [it] solidified that we were capable of both winning and scoring, as well as settling the tension we had and allowing us to play back in our rhythm.”

Tilton’s goal was followed up only a minute and a half later, when freshman Selena Garzio put the ball into the high left part of the net to SEE FIELD HOCKEY PAGE 7 CONTACT US: 215-422-4640
