Former Fels prof. Kenney wins mayoral race PAT ZANCOLLI Staff Reporter

Philadelphia polls closed at 8 p.m., and the results for key races across the city and state are in.

In the mayoral election, Jim Kenney, the Democratic candidate, received 101,660 votes — 84 percent of the popular vote — and top Republican candidate Melissa Bailey received 17,823 votes.

Democrats in Philadelphia have a 9-1 voter advantage.

In his victory speech delivered at the National Museum of American Jewish History Tuesday night, Kenney thanked his parents and children. He said he hopes “every Philadelphian will be able to walk our streets safely and with dignity,” according to text

provided to Philly.com.

“And if we build an economy for all of Philadelphia, then we will not only grow our commercial corridors and provide a real path for returning citizens — we will break the cycle of poverty for so many families,” Kenney added.

Kenney, who is a former faculty member in the Fels Institute of Government, will become the ninth consecutive Democrat to serve as mayor since 1952. With Philadelphia’s past history of favoring Democratic candidates, Kenney’s election has not come

as a huge surprise, said Penn Democrats President and College senior Sean Foley.

Admins say new housing prices will be more affordable

Penn expands pre-orientation modules post-sexual assault survey

A new two-rate pricing structure reduces number of prices offered

The program may become mandatory for students of all years in the future

JEFFREY CAREYVA Contributing Reporter

CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

Freshman orientation modules will soon be available to all undergraduates, a move by the administration to address issues raised by the results of the Association of American Universities’ Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct.

In the next few months, all undergraduates will be able to participate in Thrive at Penn, the pre-orientation module that previously educated only incoming freshmen about college life. The program covers four topics: thriving at a research university, wellness and health, the risks associated with alcohol and other drugs and healthy relationships and sexual violence prevention.

“The expectation is that everyone is doing to do it over winter break,” said Rob Nelson, executive director for education and academic planning, adding that the program may become mandatory if not enough students complete it before the spring semester.

Nelson said that the change was prompted by a lack of knowledge among students about resources available on campus, a problem highlighted by the results of the AAU survey.

Penn for Jeb joins list of presidential advocacy groups Seventh campus presidential support group to launch MICHAEL GROSS Contributing Reporter

Another day, another political club on campus.

Founded about two weeks ago

by College freshman and Government and Politics Association member Peter Cumbo, Penn for Jeb, a political group backing Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, is still in the process of getting the word out via its Facebook page. The club is the latest addition to the rising number of political groups, with the 2016 presidential election right around the corner.

Penn for Jeb now stands alongside the already-existing political groups that support Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump.

“I kept waiting for someone to

occasionally assigned to rooms that cost more than their financial aid or more than they expected. The new rate structure eliminates this concern for freshmen by placing all freshman housing at the lower rate.

“We created a first-yea r housing requirement a year ago, and when you have a variable rate structure like we used to have, you wind up getting

start a Penn for Jeb group,” Cumbo said. “That did not happen, so I thought to myself, why don’t I start the group?”

“Right now, the club is still pretty new, so we are working on developing an email list and popularizing the Facebook page,” Cumbo said. He added that he expects the group to grow quickly, as they are planning on having the first general board meeting in the coming weeks.

Wharton freshman and head of the “Think Hoover” blog Eric Hoover said that he was happy with the uptick in conservative political groups on campus.

“The liberal force on campus is really shoved down your throat,” Hoover said. “The way to combat this predominantly-liberal campus is to simply not be silenced. It does not mean that you have to be a jerk, it does not mean that you have to go out of your way to offend people, but it does mean that you have to

stand up for what you believe in.”

Hoover added that he hoped the political climate at Penn is becoming more conservative — “But I am not too optimistic,” he said.

GPA President and College junior Sarah Simon said she is also excited about the club.

“Pro-candidate groups are great,” Simon said. “They involve people who are on the periphery or into politics, and that is all we can hope for at GPA and at the school.”

As GPA president, Simon said she admires that, with the exception of Penn for Trump, all pro-groups have been founded by GPA members. “The GPA provides a good resource and network to aid these founders when completing all the necessary steps and barriers that go into starting a club on campus.”

Cumbo acknowledged the initial obstacles facing Penn for Jeb, given the level of interest surrounding Penn for Trump.

“Some candidates can be

exciting for short periods of time.

Donald Trump and Ben Carson are perfect examples of this,” Cumbo said. “In the long run, I think that Jeb’s experience, proven record and ideas will carry him to the nomination.”

To gain initial traction, Cumbo has been in contact with the National Jeb Bush for President Campaign. “I was recently talking to the National Youth Director about getting Penn for Jeb more plugged into the national campaign,” he added.

In his support for Bush, Cumbo recognizes the issues that will directly impact the students at Penn.

“One thing that Penn students think about a lot is getting a job after college and economic policy is one thing that Jeb has focused on,” Cumbo said. “I think that is one thing that will greatly affect this election.”

Cumbo said that while Democrats and Republicans have

different views on economic policy, he appreciated the election’s relevance on the lives of Penn students.

“While I personally support Jeb,

it is up to Penn students to look at the options and say who is the best candidate for their future,” Cumbo said.

into conversations about affordability that are difficult,” Redman said.

P utting the major ity of rooms at the lower rates allows students who depend on financial aid to have a greater selection of rooms, and it increases the accessibility of residential programs.

“Now, I think I’ll feel more comfortable talking to any family about pricing because we know what rooms will cost, that most of them are affordable, and just that the pricing

is less confusing — I think it’s a huge win. I’m thrilled,” Redman said.

Of all the college houses, the change will have a particularly strong impact on small college houses like Gregory and Du Bois. Previously, 82 percent of rooms in Du Bois cost more than what financial aid normally pays for, and now every room is at the financial aid level.

Rev. William Gipson, vice provost for Equity and Access, is the faculty master of Du

Bois College House and was an active participant in the conversation on college house affordability.

Du Bois went under renovation in summer 2009, and when occupa nts ret u r ne d, room rates throughout the college house system had increased.

Residents began to come to Gipson a nd compla in that they wouldn’t be able to afford living in Du Bois because of the increased rates.

“I began to understand that the room rates were becoming

a concern for us, and that concer n continued to increase wit h each passi ng yea r,” Gipson said.

Gipson worked with many students and Student Financial Services to help them remain in Du Bois, and most of them were able to stay in their preferred college house. But in recent years, students continued to insist to Gipson that the college house system was too expensive for them.

In fall of 2014, Du Bois lost “significant house leaders”

who had to move out of the house because of its lack of affordability, Gipson said, and the issue became especially critical for him. Du Bois is the smallest of the 11 college houses and depends on a small but active community.

“W hen I hea rd th is a nnou nc em ent , I wa s ve r y happy, joyful — I was delighted,” Gipson said. “It will be interesting how this new system will affect everyone, but I can tell you that for Du Bois, it was a win.”

New movie series beginning at Penn Museum ‘Gender Across Culture’ follows ‘Color’ success JAMES MCNEESE Contributing Reporter

For the fifth year, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology will be showing its annual movie series. This year’s screenings, however, will be especially personal. The “Gender Across Cultures” film series will highlight the struggle of varying gender identities across the globe, as well as their historical importance.

The upcoming movie will be “A Quiet Inquisition,” showing on Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. The story details the life of a female doctor in a public hospital in Managua, Nicaragua. She contends with the problems of dealing with a new law that bans all cases of abortion and how that impacts the medical setting and feminist idea, all from a very personal perspective. Tali Ziv, a doctoral candidate in anthropology that will be introducing the film,

said it was one that “grapples with important feminist issues but also about ethics … and difficult realities of ethics.”

Katherine Pourshariati, a film archivist at the museum and organizer for the film series said she found the “hidden gem” of a film over the past year and a half to ensure it was the just the right one. In that time frame, Pourshariati found the next three films to be shown after it in December, February and March.

The series is designed so that all films shown have as personal of a story as “A Quiet Inquisition.” Pourshariati said her hope for the series is for each film to be, “character driven … so people can feel like they are a part of their world.”

General attendance to the film series, in the past, has been steady, with about 50 people per showing. Pourshariati added that the setting of each event is informal so that each attendee feels free to put their questions to the speaker at each showing, who is generally involved with

The Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology’s annual movie series is about the “Gender Across Cultures” this year. The upcoming movie, “A Quiet Inquisition,” will be shown on Nov. 8 at 2 p.m.

the movie itself. Pourshariati’s greatest focus is the viewer, who she said she wants to feel safe and in an open environment, especially with the personal nature of this year’s topic.

When organizing the events,

“Generally I want to make sure feelings, especially when cross culture, are respected,” she said.

The museum is not the only force behind these movies. The anthropology student group Camra plays a major role in the

film series. Student run and focused on a wide variety of anthropologies, Camra helps the museum run the event and allows students to become involved in the movie series as well.

After last year’s success through a film series on “Color,” the Penn Museum is expecting another insightful and moving series this year. The films are free and open to the public with admission to the Penn Museum.

Philadelphia voters urge city to make Office of LGBT Affairs Phila. follows D.C. as second city with such an office ISABEL KIM Deputy News Editor

On Nov. 3, voters in Philadelphia voted to support a recommendation that the Office of LGBT Affairs become permanent.

Philadelphia is the second city in the United States, after Washington, D.C., to have a permanent Office of LGBT Affairs.

The office was created through an executive order by Mayor Michael Nutter in 2008. Now that it has been officially voted in as a permanent office, it cannot be simply dismissed by another mayor.

“Answering ‘yes’ to this ballot question ensures the Office will become a permanent fixture of our

Professor authors book on prediction, analysis ‘Superforecasting’ is the belief professor espouses JOE PIRES Staff Reporter

Ordinary citizens may be able to out-predict professional analysts and pundits with confidential information, writes one Penn professor in his new book.

Management and Psychology professor Philip Tetlock, along with journalist Dan Gardner, assert that even without years of training and confidential information, one can still correctly predict world events in their newly-published book, ”Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction.”

The book is based on the results from the Good Judgement Project, a group of citizen forecasters started by Tetlock and his wife, Marketing and Psychology professor Barbara Mellers.

“Basically, the question that

IARPA [Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity] wanted to answer was ‘what are the best possible ways to ask people to elicit probability forecasts’, and ‘what are the most accurate ways of combining those forecasts from a large group of people who are crowdsourced from all over the world?’” Mellers said.

The book’s thesis is that political and economic forecasting, unlike the divinations common in modern-day pundits and analysts, could be treated like weather forecasts: very accurate in the short-run, becoming increasingly imprecise as time goes on. For Tetlock, a major difference between the forecasting produced by experts and by those within the GJP is the style of thinking.

“It goes back to an ancient poem by a warrior-poet Archilochus. The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing,” Tetlock said.

“Hedgehogs tend to be theorists, animated by one big idea … But there’s a big idea that animates and organizes a lot of their thinking, whereas foxes are harder to classify, politically.”

In his book, Tetlock argues that the fox’s way of thinking is preferred over the hedgehog’s thinking in regard to forecasting.

He compares modern forecasting to the history of medical research — people adopted the hedgehog’s way of thinking and tended to assume they were right about certain things, explaining away anything that contradicts their theories.

With programs like the GJP and IARPA forecasting competitions, hypothesizing future political and economic events can become more scientific — and therefore more accurate, Tetlock said.

Tetlock also posits that with the right training, anyone can become a forecaster, with rapid improvements coming from a

short amount of training.

“It’s possible for everyone to learn to do it somewhat better if they follow certain basic training guidelines, and the basic training guidelines don’t take very long to master, so you can achieve improvements of 10 percent plus accuracy over the course of an entire year with a training module that lasts less than an hour,” Tetlock said.

Tetlock describes himself in the book as an “optimistic skeptic,” recognizing that the benefits and increasing popularity of forecasting will come slowly.

“I don’t think culture changes happen fast. I think it is a gradual process. But I think the stars are moving into alignment for some major changes in how we do things,” Tetlock said.

For those interested in forecasting, Tetlock will teach two classes — Psychology 275 and Management 276 — on the topic next semester.

Commission on Human Relations, in the Committee on Law & Government, according to a transcript of the meeting. “Permanency will

provide uniformity and clarity to the ongoing work of this important office so that Philadelphia can continue to be a leader in LGBT rights.”

While making the office permanent may not have much of an effect on its day-to-day workings, the establishment of the office will bring security to its continued existence as well as serve as a step forward in LGBTQ rights.

LGBT Center Senior Associate Director Erin Cross said the decision will “affect the LGBT community in that our concerns would be given a permanent voice.”

Philadelphia, while it does not have the reputations of New York or San Francisco, is “known as a very trans-friendly city” and “as a LGBTQ-friendly city too,” Cross said.

Making the Thrive at Penn program available to everyone, he said, is designed to combat the fact that many students do not remember information presented during New Student Orientation.

According to the survey data, only 10.7 percent of respondents knew Penn’s definition of sexual assault, and only 12.6 percent knew where to make a report of sexual violence. Compared to peer institutions, students at Penn were relatively pessimistic about the University’s ability to handle complaints of sexual violence.

Students at Penn were also less likely than average to believe that a victim of sexual violence would

be supported by fellow students in making a report, that campus officials would take the report seriously or that the safety of the victim would be protected.

“The question of what work can we do was asked,” Nelson said. “And so this is the answer that we came up with.”

The adm in istration collaborated with the Undergraduate Assembly in making the switch, incorporating student feedback into the decision to expand the program.

“Students have agreed that this is an important step to take,” Nelson said.

The administration continues to address issues raised by the AAU survey results in other ways, such as through conversations with deans and student groups.

TALKING BACKWARD | Who really won the culture wars?

few weeks ago, I watched a film called “Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead,” which chronicled the rise and fall of National Lampoon, a controversial humor magazine which was immensely popular from the 1970s through ’90s. The magazine became known for it’s unapologetic transgression of traditional social mores, especially in its early years, when the conservative cultural taboos of the ’50s remained strong.

The magazine was a perennial flashpoint in the socalled “culture wars” of the late ’70s and ’80s — its flippant treatments of sex and violence, its joking takes on race relations and its routine ridicule of institutions and public figures put it squarely in the sights of right-wing “culture warriors.” High-profile conservatives including far-right Senator Jesse Helms and televangelist Pat Robertson sought, among other things, to quash publications like National Lampoon, which were associated with the countercultural move-

ment which arose and thrived in the late ’60s and ’70s among liberal young adults.

As the hippie generation moved into middle-age, their attitudes and values began moving into the cultural mainstream, along with the arts and media they patronized. This shift enraged cultural conservatives, especially the religious right, who led an all-out attack on the new sensibilities, aided by many

insisted that media had to be censored to protect the young from obscene content which, they argued, would hinder their development and inflict emotional trauma which would haunt them through their lives. Free-speech concerns, they argued, did not apply to obscene materials, because they caused real harm to the most vulnerable members of society. In the case of National Lampoon

I can’t help but think that today National Lampoon would have been taken drown from the left instead of the right, but over essentially all the same complaints.” of the legislators whose constituencies they dominated.

Serious government-led efforts were made to defund artists and shut down publications whose output was deemed “obscene.” Rock musicians and avant-garde visual artists were targeted with particular zeal. “Think of the children!” was the culture warriors’ battle-cry; they

magazine, at least, the culture warriors were successful — pressure from conservatives ultimately led the magazine’s publisher to abandon it.

The conventional wisdom, nevertheless, is that the right lost the culture wars, at least among the highly educated.

Helms and his like’s views on sex, obscenity and humor seem outdated to many, if

not most Americans. Today, “Think of the children!” is more often a laugh line than an earnest appeal.

However, it seems to me that, lately, the right’s old arguments about obscenity and its harmfulness have regained popularity among a somewhat unlikely crowd: the far left. The notion that flippant treatment of topics like violence, race relations and sex is harmful to vulnerable members of society and therefore outside the bounds of acceptable discourse — and as such, worthy of sanction — is professed most enthusiastically not by demagogue Republican politicians, but by left-wing adherents to a certain strain of identity politics especially popular on college campuses.

The preferred terminology for such disfavored content is now “offensive” rather than “obscene,” but it boils down to a remarkably similar set of taboos — especially where humor is concerned. I can’t help but think that today, National Lampoon would have been taken down from the left instead of the right, but

over essentially all the same complaints.

A number of comedians have picked up on this: Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher, among others, have decried what they call PC hyper-sensitivity to edgy humor after recieving demands from college audiences that they scrub their routines of jokes that might offend.

Such demands come not from the campus Republicans, as they might have in the ‘80s, but from professed liberals who insist that hearing jokes about race and sex would be harmful to racial and sexual minorities.

I wish I could say definitively how this particular form of dated right-wing cultural intolerance found a home in 21st century leftism, but I can’t. Perhaps before dying out, the culture warriors affected some kind of persuasion upon their opponents.

Perhaps it’s simply a manifestation of the old truism that at its extremes, the political spectrum bends back towards itself. It should, however, give those who would claim to be liberals pause that,

Alec Ward upon close examination, the content of their rhetoric and the objects of their anger are really not so different from those of yesterday’s archconservatives. And in light of a new poll released from Yale University last week indicating that a majority of college students favor punishment of “offensive” speech, we might as a society stop to wonder: Did liberalism win the culture wars after all?

Penn entrepreneurs on leave: Is a degree worth it?

While Penn students attempt to follow the paths of tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs by taking time off from school to work on their tech startups, the ultimate decision of whether to return to classes or forgo the degree isn’t an easy one.

George Beall — founder of Touch Tiles — and Penn students

The China Challenge: Shaping the Choices of a Rising Power

Thomas Christensen William P. Boswell Professor of World Politics or Peace and War, Princeton University

individual customers. Beall imagined giving consumers the power to customize their own devices — dictating size, storage and features — simply by adding and subtracting tiles.

“It’s Legos except for technology,” he said.

Beall first came up with the idea when the iPhone 6 was released. He realized that there is such thing as “too big” and not everyone has the same preferences.

Beall now splits his time between his hometown of Los Angeles and Silicon Valley. Though he is not averse to coming back to school, he hopes to continue running his company.

“I would prefer not returning to Penn,” he said.

Beall hopes that Touch Tiles will be in the minority of tech startups that end up succeeding. To give Touch Tiles the best chance of surviving, Beall devotes all of his time to the project.

“I was not looking to drop out of school; it just happened,” Beall said.

Considering the low success rate of startups, Beall anticipates that he

will not be working for Touch Tiles in the next five years. The majority of startups either fail or are sold to larger companies.

Despite the risks involved in temporarily dropping out of school to start a project, Beall stands behind his decision to take a leave of absence. One risk is the cost — Beall’s next step is to raise $5 million dollars to finance his next prototype.

“The problem with a hardware startup is that everything you do bleeds money,” he said. “I think we have a good shot, and I would prefer to not sell … but I can’t even tell you what’s happening in two months.”

Catching Google’s attention with a student-built app Sophomores Arjun Jain, Adam Elkassas, Michael Powell and Matt Wojo took leaves of absences during the 2014-2015 school year to create a social media app called Down to Chill. The app provides individuals with a platform for informing each another of their social activities and reconnecting with old friends. Jain describes the app as “Tinder for friends.”

“We made it exclusive to your Facebook. As you grew older and your network grew it was hard to keep in touch with friends that you made a while ago,” Jain said.

To participate, users indicate the times that they are free and post the activities that they are engaging in and those in their social network can swipe down or up depending on whether they are “down to chill.” If both parties swipe down, it is considered a “match.”

Aside from spending time at Penn, they also went to State College, Pa. to test the app on Penn State students. After a year of trials — which gained 25,000 users — at both Penn and Penn State, the students collectively recognized that it was time to return to Penn and decided not to launch the project due to inadequate funding.

“You have to learn how to cut your losses,” Jain said. “Yes, you have to be attached to your startup, but you can’t be blinded by the fact that it didn’t work.

Recently, Google launched an app called “Who’s Down” which is almost identical to “Down to Chill.” Jain said that he and his

co-founders members are flattered by the fact that Google has indirectly endorsed their idea.

“The fact that one of the most valued firms in history just entered the exact same space is kind of cool,” Jain said, adding that they are planning on reaching out to Google and Who’s Down in the hopes of possibly merging their ideas.

After coming back from their leaves of absence, the founders had a fresh perspective on how to get the most out of their college education. They learned where their academic and entrepreneurial strengths and weaknesses lie. Now, they are more equipped to align their education and extracurricular priorities with their long term goals.

“Knowing what you don’t know is incredibly valuable,” Michael Powell said.

In addition to becoming more self-aware, their gap year allowed the students to make numerous connections within the tech startup industry, and now, they are well known in the industry and consult for other startups.

ELECTIONS

percent of the votes.

“Voters demanded a City Council that focused on public education and a growing, sustainable economy for all Philadelphians, especially our most vulnerable,” Gym said in a statement. “Those voices were

heard.”

Education played a huge role in the campaign, and local advocacy groups praised Kenney and Gym for their outward support of traditional public education.

“As Philly schools become battlegrounds for special interest groups, we know elected officials like Helen Gym will stand up for Philly students and for a strong public education system,” Executive Director of Pennsylvania Working Families Kati Sipp said in a statement.

Both Kenney and Gym have called for nonprofits to make payments in lieu of taxes, or PILOTs, as a way to fund the debt-ridden school district.

Democrats Derek Green and Allan Domb were also elected to at-large Council seats, while Blondell Reynolds Brown and Bill Greenlee, both incumbent

Democrats, were re-elected to the other at-large seats.

The two Council seats reserved for the minority party went to incumbent Republican Council members David Oh and Dennis O’Brien. 2010 Graduate School of Education graduate Kristin Combs fell short in her bid to earn one of the minority seats as a member of the Green Party, only earning 1 percent of the vote.

The most important race may have been the Pennsylvania Supreme Court race, in which three seats were up for grabs. Democrats Kevin Dougherty, David Wecht and Christine Donohue won, giving Democrats a 5-3 majority in the state’s highest court.

Justices, who can run on party tickets, serve 10-year terms.

Penn rolls out contactless swiping

Philadelphia, PA 19104

A new contactless PennCard swipe system has been installed by the Division of Public Safety in major buildings on campus, and the futuristic tap-security setup is streamlining entrances and advancing safety at Penn.

The contactless swipe works by allowing faculty, staff and students on campus to swipe into buildings by simply tapping their PennCards against the dual readers instead of having to swipe. The advantage of the tap in buildings like Van Pelt Library means that entrance lines have shortened dramatically. The contactless swipe also implements a more

secure and infallible chip rather than a magnetic strip.

“Usability is an important aspect of security that sometimes gets overlooked,” DPS Director of Security Technology George Fox said. “The contactless swipe allows us to add more accessibility into these buildings.”

The system has been installed in 90 buildings to date with plans for 27 more. Notable buildings capable of the new technology include Van Pelt Library, School of Veterinary Medicine, the School of Design and Gregory College House.

PennCards that are eligible for contactless swipe were first rolled out in July 2014, and were utilized for the Class of 2018 and Class of 2019 at the start of their freshman years. Business Services and PennCard Services have been working to

re-card faculty and staff to give them the newest technology, then plan on bringing rollouts to students in the classes above the Class of 2018.

“The chip is more secure than the magnetic strip,” Director of Communications and External Relations for Business Services Barbara Lea-Kruger said.

“As technology evolves and we move forward in the future, the chip is the newest technology.”

Lea-Kruger says that students in classes above the Class of 2018 who do not have contactless swipe-capable PennCards and need contactless access for buildings on campus can visit the PennCard Center. Any questions about the new technology system and PennCard compatibility can be directed to the PennCard Center.

Quakers boast youngest diving team in Ivies Two freshmen make up entirety of diving roster ANDREW ZHENG Sports Reporter

For many, transitioning to college is like a cannonball dive.

You plunge into the cold waters and just hope that the undercurrent doesn’t pull you down.

For others, it’s akin to attempting an inward one-and-one-half with a double twist, knowing that a panel of judges sits ready to critique every contortion of your body.

The latter is the case for Andrew Bologna and Trent Hagenbuch, brave individuals who will share the exclusive burden of comprising Penn men’s diving, a tall task to ask of two freshmen.

With these two newcomers constituting the entire team, the Quakers boast the youngest diving contingent in the Ivy League. In addition, Penn also shares the title of having the smallest diving team with Columbia, which also only carries two divers.

The anomaly of having an all-freshman squad came out of

real good international kids that I’m excited to see.”

Although UMBC is outside of the Ancient Eight, the roster is not entirely unfamiliar to the Red and Blue. During Penn’s 10-day training trip in Boca Raton, Fla., over winter break, the team trains jointly with the Retrievers for one practice each year — a talent exchange of sorts.

“They have the best swimmer we’ll compete against all season.

Emily Escobedo, their breaststroker, is an All-American. We won’t touch a breaststroker better than her all season. There’s no one in our league at her level. So it’ll be fun for our breaststrokers to race her.”

But the Red and Blue have some elite swimmers as well, especially on the men’s side.

“We have Chris Swanson, who can win all his races. And we have Eric Schultz, who WILL win all of his races. We have a great breaststroke group. We have an amazing 200 [Individual Medley] group. We’re going to have some great races.”

Perhaps that’s why the coach

“He sometimes dove with almost

Now, the daunting task of capturing the 38 available points in each meet’s diving events will fall to Bologna and Hagenbuch.

But the two seem unphased by the responsibilities laid out before them.

basketball and football, there is no playbook to memorize or system to get familiar with — all that matters is what you’re able to do once the race official says “take your mark.” But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get back into the swing of competition.

“You always wonder, your first meet or two, how they’re gonna respond, going from training to racing,” Schnur said, noting that the team has been racing a good amount in practice. “Hopefully they won’t make a lot of the little mistakes you make when you

Stein continues to make his presence felt as an assistant coach, providing invaluable insight on the transition to collegiate competition. The upperclassmen divers on the women’s side have stepped into that role as well — practices are jointly run, and the team chemistry clearly transcends the gender gap.

“The new guys are definitely going to carry on the legacy of Penn diving,” Stein said.

“They’ve got a lot of talent, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do this year.”

But for all that support, during practices and come competition time, what will best motivate Bologna is Hagenbuch and what will best motivate Hagenbuch is Bologna. While they are first and foremost partners, the natural competition that comes between teammates — particularly newcomers both looking to make a name for themselves — has the potential to push them to their limits.

With four years ahead of them both, only time can tell which freshman will make the biggest splash. But what is certain is that Penn diving will not settle for anything but the pair’s best.

This optimism, however, should not be rejected as naive hubris: Bologna and Hagenbuch come to Sheerr Pool with their fair share of accomplishments.

Both divers have seen great success with not only their respective high school teams but on national circuits as well.

Hagenbuch took home second place in the Ohio state diving championships his junior and senior years, which nicely complements an AAU national title in the 3-meter competition in 2014.

In his home state of Connecticut, Bologna stands as the two-time reigning champion, a feat that earned him two AllAmerica nominations.

For these reasons, Cragg has no qualms with expressing praise for either of his divers.

“Having Andrew and Trent come in is a major deal,” Cragg said. “They’re going to be a big part of the team [as] two viable participants that can compete with anyone in the Ivy League.”

And while there may not be another Red and Blue diver competing alongside them, Bologna and Hagenbuch have found no shortage of senior leadership to welcome them to Penn.

Hamann remains a swimmer at heart with Penn Junior ended career after feeling numb post-meet COLIN HENDERSON Sports Editor

When Michael Hamann got out of the pool, he knew something was wrong.

It was January earlier this year, and Penn swimming was competing at home against Delaware. For most of the Red and Blue, it was a routine meet — for Hamann, it was anything but. “At the end of the 100 [butter] fly, my whole body was just numb,� he said.

Then a sophomore, Hamann persevered and swam in a relay later that meet — a relay that his team would win. But it was clear that something was wrong, and immediately after the meet, he was forced to consult with a doctor.

The news wasn’t good. “They determined that I have an underdeveloped ventricle in my heart,� Hamann said. “Basically, my heart pumps 80 to 85 percent of the blood of an average human.�

For the past 15 years of his life, he had competed as a

swimmer, and competed at a high level. As a senior in high school, he finished fourth in the Illinois state championships in the 200-yard individual medley.

Fast forward only two years, and he found himself staring down a totally different reality.

He would never swim competitively again.

It’s a unique situation that raises an interesting question: What happens when you take the swimmer out of the pool? In Hamann’s case, the answer was obvious. “When I found out, I was bummed,� he said. “But I knew that I would have a place to still be involved in the sport.� “We knew that we would find a role for him,� coach Mike Schnur said. “And we knew that, no matter what, he would help the team.�

Confronted with one of the most difficult transitions of his life, Hamann turned to the program that had already been the object of his devotion throughout his collegiate career.

Heading into his junior season, Hamann is now an official team manager and less-than-official assistant coach.

Of course, those titles leave

ALEX FISHER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Although a heart ailment ended Michael Hamann’s career last year, the former Penn swimmer remains with the program as an official team manager entering what would have been his junior season.

quite a bit of room for interpretation as to what he actually does for the team. But to hear Hamann say it himself, it’s pretty simple. “You’re taking down splits, yelling out times to people, helping motivate people,� he said. “I like to get the guys going. I like to get rowdy ... “I get goosebumps when someone does something great

in practice. It provides the same thrill of the competition.� “He’s excitable,� Schnur said with a grin. “He loves this team, and he wants to get everybody fired up every day.�

And as it turns out, Hamann’s enthusiastic exploits on deck very well may be preparing him for his post-graduate future. A Wharton School student, Hamann has considered

foregoing more traditional career paths in the business field to remain involved with swimming — and coaching specifically — in a professional capacity. “Swimming has been such an important part of my life, I don’t think it’ll ever leave,� he said.

Over time, Hamann has worked to earn the respect of the current roster of swimmers,

both on the men’s and women’s sides. However, despite his new position within the program, much of the dynamic between Hamann and Penn swimming has remained unchanged. “Every once in a while, they ask why I can’t come down to the weight room and lift,� Hamann said. “I say that I’m not on the team any more, and they’re like, ‘No, you’re on the team. “‘You’re one of us.’�

This dynamic is obvious, even from an outsider’s perspective.

After finishing his interview for this story, Hamann proceeded to exchange a couple playful verbal barbs with Schnur. Then, he walked out of Pottruck side-by-side with his friends on the men’s swimming team.

With his teammates.

So it remains to be seen how Hamann progresses within the Penn swimming program and whether or not he pursues coaching as a career after college. But even if he fails to traverse the length of a pool ever again, it doesn’t matter.

Michael Hamann’s heart ended his career as a swimmer, but he will always be a swimmer at heart.

Family ties go beyond teammates for four Quakers’ swimmers Jardeleza and Alexander sisters bring home to Penn NICK BUCHTA Sports Reporter

One sis, two sis, Red sis, Blue sis.

For the members of Penn women’s swimming, their team can take on a sort of family-type quality. But there are two pairs of actual sisters that represent the Red and Blue in the pool.

Megan and Ryan Alexander, and Maddie and Libby Jardeleza form the two sibling bonds on the squad, each one representing a different class at Penn.

Beyond sharing the fact that they have a sister on the team, however, the comparisons for the two duos don’t go much further. “They’re interesting,� coach Mike Schnur said. “I mean I’ve only had Libby now for two months, but Libby and Maddie are nothing alike at all, whereas Ryan and Megan are carbon copies of each other.�

Megan, a senior, and Ryan, a sophomore, do seem to have a lot more in common with one another than the Jardelezas.

While they swim similar events, junior Maddie tends to gravitate toward distance events, while freshman Libby sticks to the

sprints.

For the rest of the team, the similarities between Megan and Ryan are hard to ignore. “I think sometimes people tend to group us together, like ‘Oh, they’re the Alexander sisters,’� Megan commented. “Ryan and Megan are the same person. They look alike, they talk alike, they swim alike, they act alike, they’re identical,�

Schnur added, reinforcing Megan’s point.

One thing the younger siblings did share was a slight reticence to follow in their sisters’ footsteps. Ryan looked at other options while being recruited, and Schnur noted that

in as the teams face off Friday in the 2015 iteration of the rivalry. Schnur, in particular, is interested in seeing what his freshmen have to offer. “There’s going to be a lot of freshmen on both teams who will be very influential in this meet,� the 16th-year head coach said, listing off a half-dozen rookies that he believes have potential. “There’s a lot of unknowns, but there’ll be a lot of great races.�

Penn, of course, also has a loaded lineup of experienced swimmers, from Burns to junior Rochelle Dong — who broke pool records in the 100-yard backstroke and

100-yard butterfly during the ‘14 beatdown — to fellow junior breaststroker Haley Wickham.

So, on paper, the Quakers have the manpower to replicate the result of a year ago.

Still, suits, rivalries and records aside, Schnur has a very simple message for the Quakers as they head into the first meet of the season. “We’re not trying to be fast now, we’re trying to be fast at the end of February,� Schnur said. “And most of all, just have fun.

They’ve been training hard. I’ve been beating on them for nine weeks. “It’s time to race.�

30 Huge amount, slangily

This year, however, things will be much different. Longtime Columbia assistant (and 2014 acting head coach) Michael Sabala is no longer with the program, and leaving with him will be the Lions’ fast-suit policy. “This year we’re going back to an old-school meet with normal practice suits, the way we’ve always done it,� Schnur said. “I think that’s a really great change.�

So, while the two teams may not put up gaudy times, there is still plenty to be interested

it’s hard to get a hold of her, and I don’t see her as much as I thought I would, we still make time for each other.�

And although the arrangement seems to work out for everyone on the team, the biggest benefactors aren’t a part of Penn swimming.

As Ryan noted, “It’s nice to be able to have her close by, and our parents can wear the same shirts for both of us since we both go to the same school.� “In all of their cases,� Schnur agreed, “It was a lot of Mom and Dad telling the younger siblings that they would like to have them in the same place. So the best helper I have in recruiting is Mom and Dad.�

For the Alexa nders a nd Jardelezas, calling the swim team their family has an entirely different meaning. And none of them would have it any other way.

Schnur laughed, talking about the Alexander duo. “It’s great.

We all laugh at them. Everybody laughs at them, because they’re so competitive with each other, which is great.�

For both sets of sisters, swimming together doesn’t mean just spending time together in the pool. Megan and Ryan live together in an off-campus house, and Maddie and Libby plan to be in the same house next year, too.

Fortunately, the siblings are all still able to maintain somewhat separate lives.

According to Maddie, the elder Jardeleza, “It’s not too difficult because we have different interests. So [Libby] has her group of friends and her class on the team also. They’ll do separate events like dinners and stuff like I will with the upperclassmen.� “But even though sometimes

Libby explored a handful of different schools too. Libby also talked with Ryan about what it was like to swim with a sister, something that helped make her decision a little easier. “Penn wasn’t initially a factor in my decision early on in the process,� Ryan said. “I loved Penn when I came to campus, but I told my mom that I wanted to go here, if only Megan wasn’t at Penn.� “I really didn’t want to come at first,� Libby admitted. “I wanted [Maddie] to have her space and me to have mine, so I was looking at other schools and then kind of looking at Penn.

But as soon as I came here, I just fell in love with it, and she just really wanted me to come here because she knew that I would love it too.�

ARRIVAL RIVAL AND A

New season (and new suits) highlight meet with foe Columbia TOM NOWLAN Associate Sports Editor

It was a beatdown, to be sure.

A year ago, Penn women’s swimming took on Columbia for its first dual meet of the 2014 season. While the two teams were considered to be evenly matched going into

the contest, the final score was anything but: The Quakers won all 16 events and broke five different Sheerr Pool records en route to a dominant 215-85 victory.

“Usually, the teams are very evenly matched. It would come down to just a few points between us year after year,” freestyler Virginia Burns, a freshman at the time, said.

“We were angry at coming close but just not making it.”

One such close defeat came the fall before, in 2013. That season, the Quakers

lost a frustrating 166-134 dual meet to the Lions in November before finishing fifth in the Ivy League championships, one spot behind their rivals from the Big Apple.

So, fed up with defeat, the Red and Blue resolved that 2014 would be different.

“Going into it, a lot of the upperclassmen, a lot of the alumni were getting really into it and getting us really hyped up,” Burns said.

“The team really came together in getting ready for the meet.”

Much of the animosity between the two

With accolades, seniors lead by example Swanson, Schultz look for return to NCAAs MATTHEW FINE Associate Sports Editor

Not many things in this world get better with age, but don’t tell that to Penn men’s swimming’s senior captains.

Over the last three seasons, Eric Schultz and Chris Swanson have won countless races and championships, including a combined eight individual Ivy titles. They’ve broken dozens of school and conference records.

The two are without a doubt a couple of the best swimmers to ever come through Penn’s program, as well as the Ancient Eight.

They each have also had the unique opportunity to compete at the highest level of college swimming: the NCAA Division I Championships.

Schultz, who made his first appearance at NCAA’s last

season, and Swanson, who has qualified in each of his three years with the team, took a lot away from competing against the best swimmers in the country, some of whom may be future Olympians.

“It makes you humble. Going there, you realize where you are compared to the big programs in the country,” Schultz said. “I became humble with my talent and where I was. You can be really, really good in the Ivy League but at NCAA’s the big clubs just kill you. It was an eye-opening experience in that regard.”

Coach Mike Schnur says that what the two swimmers learned at NCAA’s goes beyond the pool.

“What they bring back is a desire to do better,” he said.

“For Chris, the desire is to be an NCAA champion. For Eric, the desire is to make All-American. So, it makes them a little SEE SENIORS PAGE 11

teams derived from Columbia’s practice of wearing high-performance tech suits during each dual meet — a practice usually reserved for end-of-the year championship meets. Last fall, however, the Quakers resolved to beat the Lions at their own game.

“We were tired of losing, so we put our fast suits on also,” coach Mike Schnur said.

“We killed them. We broke five pool records.”

During his career with Penn men’s swimming, senior distance freestyler Chris Swanson has won six individual Ivy titles and qualified for NCAAs thrice.

ONLINE AT THEDP.COM

Their biggest meet may still be months away, but the Quakers will finally have a chance to get their feet wet this weekend.

The Penn swimming season will get underway when the women head to New York to face Columbia on Friday before heading to Baltimore, where they will be joined by the men’s team, as both squads face off against UMBC on Saturday.

Both teams are coming off fourth-place finishes in last year’s Ivy championships.

Coach Mike Schnur, a Penn alum entering his 16th year

as head coach and 28th year with the program, enters the season with one goal and one goal only: “We want to finish as high as we can at the Ivy Championship meet,” coach said.

“Dual meets don’t matter. The order of finish doesn’t mean anything. The Ivy champion is crowned at the meets in February. That’s where you have to be good. If you go 0-7 in dual meets, but you win the Ivy meet, you’re the Ivy champion, and it doesn’t matter what your dual meet [results] are.”

That being said, the coach is still excited for this weekend’s action, even if he’s not too preoccupied with the final results.

“Columbia, that’s an Ivy meet. It’s a really good rival for us,” he said. “UMBC has some SEE WEEKEND PAGE 9 CONTACT US: 215-422-4640
