Serena Williams packs Irvine

Williams talked tennis, fashion and philanthropy ANIKA RANGINANI Contributing Reporter

As soon as Serena Williams walked on stage Wednesday night, the audience began to cheer.

Phones stuck up out of the crowd

as audience members hoped to capture an image of the 21-time Grand Slam champion.

Two branches of Penn’s Social Planning and Events Committee — SPEC-Trum, which works to represent undergraduate minorities, and SPEC Connaissance, which aims to bring diverse speakers to campus — worked together

to host “An Evening With Serena Williams.” With all levels of Irvine Auditorium used, Connaissance Director and Wharton junior Alex McClelland gave an initial estimate of 1,150 to 1,200 attendees. Tickets cost $55 for the 100 general public seats and $10 for Penn students.

“We knew it was really important to come back with a really

good speaker event,” McClelland said. “We don’t typically get our first request.”

Connaissance Director Caroline Wills, who is also a Wharton junior, spoke about what the committee hoped to get out of bringing Williams to campus.

How admin salaries stack up across the Ivy League

Class of 2020 sees record early decision applicants

Penn’s Provost earns more than six other Ivy League provosts

140 more prospective students applied to Penn this year

CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

SYNDEY SCHAEDEL Staff Reporter

Despite Penn President Amy Gutmann’s pay boost this year, which landed her salary near the top of the Ivy League, most Penn administrators earned salaries closer to those of their Ivy peers, according to recently filed tax data.

Gutmann, whose salary increased by 21 percent since the previous year, was paid $3,426,106. The only Ivy League president to earn more, Columbia President Lee C. Bollinger, made $4,641,420.

Provost Vincent Price, whose salary was $880,713, earned more than the provosts at Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown and Cornell. Tax data for Harvard administrators was not available by time of publication.

Vice President for Facilities and Real Estate Anne Papageorge’s salary was $500,061, more than the facilities directors at Columbia, Yale, Princeton and Brown.

Similarly, Senior Vice President and General Counsel Wendy White’s salary of $843,301 topped those of the general counsel at Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth and

Sanders and Clinton waver in polls of black voters JESSICA WASHINGTON Staff Reporter

Although nationally the two Democratic presidential front-runners Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have struggled to hold and maintain their favorability among black voters, Penn students believe both candidates have something to offer black constituents.

In the last presidential election, 93 percent of the black vote went to the Democratic candidate Barack Obama. However, his immense popularity among black voters has not translated nationally to the Democratic front-runners.

A June CNN/ORC poll showed just two percent of black Democrats supported Sanders. A more recent poll by CNN in October found just three percent of black South Carolina voters favored Sanders — the largest black population of the early

While some feel Bernie Sanders to be the best candidate for minority issues, he has not gained much traction with black voters.

primary states.

Despite Sanders’ lack of a support among black voters, College junior Adam Reid, who is AfricanAmerican, feels that Bernie Sanders is the best choice for black voters.

“In my opinion, he is the most outspoken candidate about social inequality and other issues that speak directly to minorities,” Reid said.

Reid admires Sanders for speaking on unpopular issues that benefit minorities.

“He isn’t afraid to take a stance on controversial topics that involve minority lives,” Reid said.

His lack of popularity nationally is due in large part to the fact that he is still unfamiliar to many voters. A July Suffolk and USA Today poll found that 35 percent of black voters were unfamiliar with the candidate.

“I haven’t seen him engaging the black community. Nor am I hearing any chatter about him,” said Rick Wade, Obama for America’s African-American vote director in an interview with CNN in July. “Black voters don’t know him.”

But Sanders’ profile among black voters has shifted in recent months.

An October Suffolk and USA

Today poll showed that the number of black voters who are unaware of Sanders has dropped to five percent, but he still trails behind Clinton in this voting group.

Even Clinton, who initially had a large advantage among black voters — carrying 80 percent favorability among black adults in an August Gallup survey — has begun to decline in this category nationally. The October USA Today/Suffolk poll found that Clinton had dropped in popularity among black voters by 31 points.

But this hasn’t dissuaded Wharton junior Pierson Devers, a black student, from taking an active role in Hillary’s campaign. He is a board member of Penn for Hillary.

“I think her mere presence in office will help do that, considering she’d be following an African-American president as the first female president,” Devers said.

“I think that will be a big push for 75004 all underrepresented groups in America.”

HOMECOMING 2015 Arts and culture to be featured at Homecoming Penn attempts to increase alumni attendance RUIHONG LIU Staff Reporter

This Homecoming weekend, fine arts and film will accompany football and fraternity parties.

In past years, the Sweeten Alumni House has focused on expanding homecoming attractions beyond traditional events to encourage alumni to return to campus. This year especially, homecoming will feature a variety of events related to arts and culture.

“We realized six years ago that the football game wasn’t a huge draw for all alumni,” Director of Alumni Relations Elise Betz said. “As a result, we

planned our homecoming — it’s homecoming featuring arts and culture.”

She said that, in addition to the football game, there are about 98 other arts and culturerelated programs planned for the weekend, including a tour of Van Pelt’s rare book library and a hands-on demonstration at the Penn Museum, as well as a lecture about the Madeline books.

Saturday night, students and alumni can go to Meyerson Hall to watch the film “Southern Rites,” produced by Penn alumnus John Legend. Unfortunately, Legend won’t be there, but director Gillian Laub will be, Betz said. In addition, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and acclaimed writer Buzz Bissinger, whose books include “Friday Night Lights” and “A

Prayer for the City,” will speak at the Kelly Writers House on Saturday.

Alumni may be swarming campus on Saturday, but this year’s Homecoming weekend includes events for students as well.

“We’ve been trying over the past five years or so to incorporate students more into homecoming,” Associate Director of Penn Traditions and Alumni Programming Nicole Svonavec said.

One of the major events planned for students is QuakerFest, which will take place before Saturday’s football game on College Green and will feature music, food, games and prizes. After the game, they can return to College Green for Penn’s fourth annual “Blutt

Band Slam.” Student and alumni musicians will compete for a $1,000 prize, Betz said.

Both Betz and Svonavec think it’s important for current students to interact with alumni.

“I would encourage students to strike up a conversation with an alumnus,” Betz said. “They have shared experience, and alumni love to talk to students.”

“It’s an opportunity to increase your Penn network by engaging with the alumni.”

Their hope is that the increased programming will allow both students and alumni to engage with Penn’s offerings.

“Homecoming, by its very definition, is coming home to Penn,” Betz said, “so it’s a chance to connect and to engage deeper with the campus, the faculty and the students.”

More than sports: Schedule expands Planned activities include student group performances

Penn alumni from around the world will return to campus this weekend for Homecoming and will be met by a relatively new experience that aims to appeal to alumni of all ages and interests.

Although the football game is the highlight of the weekend, Associate Vice President for Alumni Relations Hoopes Wampler said this is the seventh year of the “new and enhanced program” — a schedule of events that includes more artistic

and cultural offerings and attempts to appeal to alumni who may not be interested in football.

“We kind of reinvented homecoming,” Wampler said. “We injected it with a lot more arts and cultural events, featuring museums, the galleries, some of the schools, performances [and] student groups.”

Planning for the weekend involves extensive preparation, and it includes a 50-person volunteer committee of alumni of all ages and backgrounds which collaborates with the administration to prepare and promote Homecoming events.

In recent years, Wampler said,

Homecoming has drawn a wider group of alumni from across the country and around the world.

Previously, its attendees tended to be alumni who lived in the region. Now, alumni are coming for multiple events and staying the whole weekend, he said.

The overall mission of Homecoming is to “keep alumni engaged and connected to the University,” Wampler said.

Through Homecoming and other initiatives, Penn tailors its alumni engagement efforts to different age groups. One program, yPenn, is aimed at young alumni and will hold an evening event in Houston Hall’s Bodek Lounge on Nov. 7. Fundraising

efforts, similarly, attempt to address the varying needs and interests of different alumni.

Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations John Zeller emphasized the importance of working to make events for young alumni accessible.

“It’s really sustaining the focus on the constituency and what their needs are, because they change,” he said, adding that the decision to hold late-night events for recent graduates was an “aha moment.”

The schedule for Homecoming Weekend can be found online and features speakers, networking events and building tours.

O

n Sunday, a new round of high school hopefuls for Penn’s Class of 2020 submitted their applications to the University through the Early Decision Program. This year, the number of ED applications is higher than ever, with 5,629 high school seniors applying.

But while the Penn community has largely focused on how the number of applicants has been increasing year over year, its members have generally ignored another increase: the growing percentage of students admitted through Early Decision.

Right now on campus, there are more Penn undergrads who were admitted through Early Decision than Regular Decision. That’s because for the past two admissions cycles, Penn has admitted a majority of its class through ED. The two years before that, the University admitted almost half of its

class through ED as well.

The early college admissions process can be a valuable one for both prospective students and the colleges to which they apply, but at Penn, the Admissions Office

preference to high school students who already have more opportunities than other applicants.

The ED process requires high schoolers to apply by Nov. 1 of their senior year,

The Admissions Office website acknowledges that ‘children and grandchildren of alumni will receive the most consideration’ for acceptance under ED.” has started overly relying on the Early Decision pool to admit students.

When the majority of students are admitted via ED, Early Decision becomes the new Regular Decision. And while ED ensures that students enrolling at Penn really do love the University and want to come here, it can be detrimental for students coming from lower-income backgrounds while giving

which means they must have already begun thinking about their college application, personal essays and standardized tests during junior year or earlier. While thinking about college extremely early is normal for many students who go on to attend Penn and other elite institutions, the unfortunate truth is that this early process excludes those who are first-generation Americans, who come

from poverty-stricken public schools or who are the first in their family to attend college. Without the support of knowledgeable high school counselors, family members or high-achieving friends, such students might not have even heard of Early Decision or have the tools to begin thinking about college applications. And for those who have heard of it, the fact that a student gets locked into one particular college if they’re admitted means they have to trust that their chosen college will provide them with enough financial aid, which creates a deep power imbalance.

At the same time, Early Decision favors students who are legacies. The Admissions Office website acknowledges that “children and grandchildren of alumni will receive the most consideration” for acceptance under ED. In general, over 40 percent of legacy students who apply early

decision are accepted.

But the power imbalance that’s created by the ED process affects all students, not just those from underprivileged backgrounds. As an article in The Atlantic argues, ED is an “arranged marriage” that benefits the institution much more than the student. By locking down the majority of its class early, Penn arguably gets to ration its financial aid as well as potentially lower its admittance rate, which affects college rankings. In turn, students get to stop worrying earlier about which college they got into. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing when done in moderation. But the reason regular decision is called “regular” is because students, on the whole, should be able to weigh their options equally and fairly at the end of their high school education. After all, getting a college education is tantamount to purchasing a service, no matter

how elite the institution. Students are the consumers, and they should have the power to to make colleges compete to provide the best financial — and educational — package.

By filling the majority of the class through Early Decision, Penn is making increasing its rankings a priority over allowing students to fairly compare colleges to which they have been accepted. Of course, for those who truly know that Penn is their top choice college and have the means to apply early, ED is a wonderful process. And ED does help colleges understand a potential student’s “fit” as well as create a strong school spirit on campus. But on the institutional end, Penn should consider exactly what message it is sending about its values and responsibilities as a leader in higher education when it admits more than half of a class through Early Decision.

Trustees, take away Cosby’s degree

T

oday and tomorrow, the Board of Trustees will meet to consider some of the most pressing matters facing the University. One of those issues, we hope, is whether Bill Cosby should keep the honorary degree that Penn awarded him in 1990.

Last week, new allegations surfaced that Cosby groped a woman at the 2004 Penn Relays. Now, more than 50 women have said that Cosby sexually assaulted them.

After the most recent allegations, we called for the University to revoke Cosby’s honorary degree. Cosby is at best a man of dubious moral character, and Penn shouldn’t continue to implicitly laud him by letting him keep his degree.

Now, we wish to reiterate our appeal — and this time direct it toward the Board of Trustees. Enough is enough.

Cosby no longer deserves to be honored by the University.

And we hope that the Board of Trustees acts at its meeting this week to revoke his honorary diploma.

“I

leftovers | The anachronistic term only entrenches culture war think the big problem this country has is being politically

correct.”

When Donald Trump uttered those words at the first Republican debate in August, the crowd went wild. Even the Democrats I was watching the debate with shrugged their shoulders and said, “he kind of has a point.”

The term political correctness, which is usually applied as a pejorative phrase, entered mainstream usage after the publication of a series of New York Times articles written by Richard Bernstein in the late ’80s and early ’90s. However, the term is not a particularly useful one, and does nothing but exacerbate the culture war between the left and right. Conservatives often use it as an attack on liberals for introducing a “cultural Marxism” to academia and doing nothing but spreading “the disease of ideology.”

However, the application of the term often confuses so-

cial acceptance with censorship. One who uses genderneutral pronouns or asks if someone has a partner instead of a boyfriend or a girlfriend sometimes receives the response, “Oh, you’re so politically correct.” It should not be politically correct to incorporate individuals who are gender non-binary or who are not straight in our conception of what someone could be.

The applications of the term to describe social acceptance and an attack on free speech are dangerous in their diametric opposition to each other. The efforts to include marginalized narratives in our classrooms should not be conflated with censorship and the attack on free speech.

In one of his most famous articles warning against the onslaught of political correctness in academia, Richard Bernstein describes a campaign at Stanford to eliminate a required course in Western civilization. Bernstein and his colleagues fear the growing curriculum that promotes affirmative action, queer

and women’s and Africana studies and politically correct academic papers such as “Brotherly Love: Nabokov’s Homosexual Double.” They call this the worrisome “politicization of the humanities.”

However, this view ignores the truth that the humanities have always been politicized.

When has the canon of Western civilization ever not been

I bemoan both the Stanford campaign and the Bernstein camp. I am sad for the humanities student who never reads Nietzsche or Marx or Smith or Mill. But I am also sad for the student who thinks that F. Scott Fitzgerald more appropriately occupies a space on the shelf of great American literature than Zora

the normative questions of power from the discipline of political science. Many political scientists believe that their distance from political concerns “cleanses and clarifies” their research. However, her criticism of the divorce of the concern for politics from political research is not an endorsement of the “scholaractivist.” She writes, “Let me

be clear. I have nothing but contempt for the ‘scholar-activist’ for whom all questions are subordinated to a cause.

No one among us knows enough to give that kind of unquestioning allegiance.

This is not a matter of serving a master. It is a matter of refusing all masters in the pursuit of the knowledge we need.”

It is our job not to censor one another but to encourage free speech. It is our job to let the research lead us instead of our ideological proclivities. It is also our job to reject tolerance as an acceptable alternative to inclusion. One tolerates bad breath or a long wait in line; one should not tolerate someone’s race or sexuality or gender identity, one should strive for meaningful inclusion.

When U.K. Labour Party leader Ed Miliband resigned after losing the election for prime minister to David Cameron in May, he told his constituency, “If I may say to everyone in our party: Conduct this leadership election

Creating such a culture will require an act of humility on our part, but I think we are up to the challenge.

SERENA WILLIAMS >> PAGE 1

“The Williams sisters are nothing if not resilient,” Wills said. “It’s coming at a good time. It’ll be good for people to see and be inspired by the drive and ambition that she has.”

The evening’s format was different from a standard speaking event, with an initial period of questions moderated by Penn sociology professor Camille Charles, who also chairs the Department of Africana Studies.

Charles asked Williams about her family background, her relationship with her family and her “mental toughness.”

“I don’t think you can go to CVS and buy mental toughness,” Williams said.

Despite the dense nature of the topics, Williams’ responses drew laughs and cheers from the

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM crowd. However, some students felt the framing of the content of the talk could have been improved. “[The moderator’s] questions seemed long-winded and very pointed. She didn’t get as much out of Serena as she could have,” Abhi Ramachandran, a first year medical student at Penn, said.

Aside from mental resilience, Williams also spoke about her fashion line, the Signature Statement collection, which she recently showed at New York Fashion Week.

“When I’m on the court, I try to take charge, and you kind of have to,” Williams said. “At fashion, I’m that same person — I call myself a ‘Showzilla.’”

When not on the court or the runway, Williams has also helped open two schools in Kenya, emphasizing the importance of removing political

barriers to female education.

She added that some students walked up to 20 miles to attend.

“When you have an education, you’re able to build knowledge on how to advance,” Williams said. “Life is so much more than tennis.”

After the discussion, students had the opportunity to ask Williams questions. The topics ranged from Williams’ onseason and off-season diet, the role of social media in her professional life and College junior Daniel Kahana’s question about equal pay between the different genders in tennis.

“It’s really awesome because I’m a huge tennis fan— it’s my biggest passion and hobby,” Kahana said. “She’s the best champion of my generation and ever. Having her right there in front of me and being able to ask a question was unique.”

$1M Wharton donation creates impact fund Turner family known for social impact focus CAROLINE CARBALLEIRA Contributing Reporter

It’s no secret that Penn alumni love to support their alma mater, and the Turner family is no exception.

1984 Wharton graduate K. Robert Turner and 1985 Wharton graduate Lauren Golub Turner recently announced a $1 million gift to Wharton that will establish the Lauren and Bobby Turner Social Impact Society Fund.

This fund will allow for the growth of the Turner Social Impact Society, a group for students in all undergraduate schools interested in applying

innovative business strategies to social issues. Sandra Hunt, the assistant director of the Wharton Social Impact Initiative and manager of the TSIS, said she thinks the gift will help the TSIS — which had its first year in 2014-2015 school year — continue to thrive.

“This gift will enable TSIS to grow, creating a community of interdisciplinary students who will come together to share their social impact skills and passions, explore career interests and work collaboratively on making a positive social impact at Penn and beyond,” Hunt said.

Some ways in which the gift could be used have already been set in motion. College junior Will Slotznick, a fellow in the TSIS, said that ideas for the gift include

a fund which TSIS students can apply to in order to create their own startups related to social impact. Other options include increased grants for summer internships and travel.

“Social impact is becoming more and more important on campus, more people are thinking about it, people are trying to develop a consciousness for these types of issues and it’s great to have that space and those resources there with students that are interested and excited about this,” Slotznick said. “It’s great that the Wharton Social Impact Initiative and Bobby and Laura Turner are there to help … it’s encouraging.”

This gift is not the Turners’ first contribution to Wharton.

The Lauren and Bobby Turner

Social Impact Executive Speaker Series was established in 2009 and brings renowned speakers to campus. Additionally, the Lauren and Bobby Turner Curriculum Development Fund also supports social-impact curriculum.

“Bobby and Lauren believe that Penn students should — and will — be leaders in their generation, which places a high priority on building a better world,” said Sherryl Kuhlman, who is managing director of the Wharton Social Impact Initiative and a 2001 MBA graduate.

“The connection with Wharton and the Wharton Social Impact Initiative will provide [students] with the experience and knowledge needed to create sustainable approaches to pressing social problems.”

JINAH KIM Contributing Reporter

Mildred Dresselhaus, grandmother of College junior Elizabeth Dresselhaus, isn’t your average grandmother.

Dubbed the “Queen of Carbon Science,” Dresselhaus is one of the most lauded female physicists in the world. Women in Physics, a group on campus which aims to encourage more women to pursue careers in physics, brought Dresselhaus to Penn to give a talk on her over 50 year career.

Professor Dresselhaus, the first female institute professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has received awards from the American Chemical Society and L’Oreal-UNESCO for encouraging women into careers in science. Her other honors include the National Medal of Science in 1990 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014.

Elizabeth Dresselhaus, a cofounder of the Women in Physics group, organized the event. WiP was formed this spring to replace the now-defunct Women Interested in the Study of Physics, and has held several events over the past year with female Penn faculty in the physics department.

A major goal of the group’s more casual events was to bring female Penn physics students

closer to potential mentors, Dresselhaus said. “The professors, who are mostly male, are more likely to take on a male student than a female student.

We’re trying to flip the divide by encouraging our female undergraduates to seek out female mentors.”

While women have made inroads in some areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, female representation in physics still lags behind.

According to the American Physical Society, as of 2015, about 20 percent of bachelors degrees earned in physics are earned by women. Dresselhaus cited her grandmother’s own mentor, Nobel laureate Rosalyn Yalow, as a major influence in pushing

her forward in her career.

Professor Dresselhaus provided the audience with a history of her life and research, describing the effect that advances in materials technology and information science had on her own career. While part of the speech was highly technical, describing band gaps and electromagnetic spectra, most of it was more broadly accessible. She encouraged the researchers in the audience to revive the old practice of reserving one day of the week to work on personal interests and projects: “That’s where the world changing discoveries were made,” she said.

hoping to hear about the process of a life in research. “It was interesting hearing about her life story, her career, the various struggles she encountered and how she overcame them,” he said.

Fichera was one of many men

Red and Blue seeks to snap losing streak at home VOLLEYBALL | Penn sits

at sixth in Ivy League GREG ROBINOV Sports Reporter FRIDAY

Brown (10-12, 4-6 Ivy) 7 p.m.

The Palestra

SATURDAY

Yale (11-8, 6-4 Ivy) 5 p.m.

The Palestra

There’s no place like home.

There’s no time like Homecoming.

That is the attitude of Penn volleyball as it enters the final stretch of the season with weekend matches against Brown and Yale at

the Palestra.

The Quakers (10-12, 4-6 Ivy) certainly need positive results from their Friday and Saturday Ivy League contests, as they currently sit in sixth place along with the Bears (10-12, 4-6). These matchups come on the heels of the team ending its five-game losing streak, and, with only four games left, this weekend is of the utmost importance.

Discussing the team’s outlook, coach Kerry Carr emphasized the determination of her squad.

“We want to show this weekend that we are better than these two teams coming in, but it’s not going to be easy, and we’re going to have to play our best volleyball on both nights, back to back,” Carr said.

“That’s a challenge I’m really looking forward to, and I think the team and the players are really looking forward to showing what we can do.

“I think that’s why we come out

stronger at the end of the season.”

The aforementioned losing streak included a bitter straight-sets loss at Brown and a tough four-set defeat at Yale the weekend of Oct. 16. This pattern continued through last weekend with a clean sweep

by Harvard on Friday before Penn turned the tables on Dartmouth on Saturday night.

Senior Alexis Genske was one of Penn’s big hitters against the Big Green, racking up nine kills and 14 assists. Rather than focusing on her personal excellence in the matchup with Dartmouth, the veteran gave plenty of credit to her teammates.

“I think whenever my numbers are high it’s because other people are hitting really well too, and they’re drawing the blockers away from me,” Genske said. “In order for anyone on our team to be successful, we all have to be gelling.

We don’t have any star players; everybody makes everybody else look

better and play well.”

The Red and Blue will likely need to be at their very best to overcome the double threat of Brown and Yale.

The Bears have been playing well of late, and, although they lost in five sets to Cornell in their last outing, the team was led by a pair of incredible individual performances.

In that match, freshman Sabrina Stillwell notched 20 kills for the second time this season while posting a .319 hitting percentage.

Senior Shannon Frost also logged her third double-double in the last five games with 10 kills and 21 digs.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs (11-8, 6-4), who are perched in a threeway tie for second place in the Ancient Eight, suffered a five-set loss at Columbia on Saturday after taking down Cornell the previous night. In New York City, freshmen Kelley Wirth contributed 15 kills

and 15 digs, while fellow rookie Kate Swanson added a team-high 26 digs in the narrow defeat.

To some members of the team, these matches might be of unparalleled importance. That’s because the doubleheader will feature the final two home games for Penn for this season.

Senior Alex Caldwell, who put up seven kills versus Dartmouth, explained the mental approach to the bittersweet outing.

“It’s the end of the season and we’re excited, but it’s important to treat it like any other match,” Caldwell said. “Saturday night is our Senior Night and our last time playing at the Palestra, which will be pretty sentimental. But at the same time we have to focus on the game plan and really get down to business.”

This year, Senior Night coincides with Homecoming for the Red and Blue, something that adds a whole

new level of excitement around the big weekend. This is the first year Penn volleyball will have homecourt advantage over Homecoming weekend since 2012.

Carr is excited to welcome home some alumni over the weekend.

“This is great because we decided to have a celebration ... recognizing the fifth-year anniversary of our 2010 championship team and the 25-year anniversary of our 1990 team,” Carr said. “We are also having a celebration of all 40 years of men’s and women’s volleyball so we have men’s volleyball players coming back, we have women’s players coming back and we’re having the men’s club volleyball game after ours in the Palestra.

“It’s just gonna be a whole party.”

So, with the overlapping of Homecoming and Senior Night, the Quakers just might be getting the boost they need to fight to close out their season on a high note.

On Senior Day, time to move on and move forward W. SOCCER | Penn takes

on Ivy champ Tigers LAINE HIGGINS Sports Editor SATURDAY

Princeton (13-3, 6-0 Ivy) 5 p.m.

Rhodes Field

Penn women’s soccer has nothing to lose.

For their final conference match up of the season, the Quakers (65-4, 1-2-3 Ivy) find themselves in a unique position. Their opponent, the undefeated Tigers (13-3-0, 6-0-0) have already clinched the Ivy crown for 2015 and an NCAA Tournament berth with their win over Cornell last weekend.

On the Princeton sidelines, Saturday’s game at Rhodes Field is little more than a formality. For Penn, it is about much more than that.

For the Quakers in the Class of 2016, it’s about moving on. For three of the five seniors on the team — Caroline Dwyer, Shannon Hennessy and Erin Mikolai — Saturday’s game is the final chapter in a four-year-long saga of wins, losses and ties while wearing the Red and Blue.

“They all are contributors, they’re all high impact players and they all play a significant amount

of minutes,” said coach Nicole Van Dyke.

Unlike the rest of their class, seniors Kalijah Terilli and Paige Lombard will have another shot at glory next year.

Lombard, who transferred to Penn from Miami in 2014, spent the entirety of that season sidelined with a knee injury and did not see playing time until the dawn of the 2015 season. According to Van Dyke, the senior back is hungry for more. “For her it’s really just about building on this year and the experience she had,” said Van Dyke. “Now she’s just ramping herself up.”

Joining Lombard on the field in 2016 will be fellow senior Kalijah Terilli. After sitting out her freshman year with an injury, Terilli was sidelined with an injury again in 2015 during the team’s two-game swing through South Carolina. Returning to Penn for a fifth year gives Terilli a chance to get closure.

“She’s a massive part of the team,” said Van Dyke. “We’re building for the future, and she gets to be a part of that.”

Although Terilli will be back on Rhodes Field next fall, she will be honored with the rest of her class during the senior day festivities on Saturday. Lombard, on the other hand, will be honored next year with the current junior class.

For the other 23 members of the Quakers squad, Saturday’s game is about moving forward. As the last

that is hard to quantify in few words.

Although the team’s record and likely sixth place Ivy finish may not

indicate a team rife with talent, Penn outshot nearly all of its opponents and only allowed in 11 goals in 15

games. According to the outgoing Dwyer, that makes a big statement to the rest of the Ancient Eight for the seasons to come. 2015 was about learning to come together under a new system with a new coach. The way Dwyer sees it, it’s now up to the returning core to keep setting lofty goals for themselves.

“They should prepare to get the Ivy title,” Dwyer said. “I never got it while I was here ... but just to keep the faith that it will happen, because I know that it will for them.”

Van Dyke shares Dwyer’s aspirations for the team, but takes a more technical tack to the months that will follow Saturday’s result — be it a win or a loss.

“We have a tremendous amount of desire and commitment to become the best that we can be,” she said. “We need to improve our technical abilities and, obviously, in front of goal being one of those.”

Indeed, converting shots on goal to points on the scoreboard proved difficult for the team all year. The Quakers did start to put together a coherent offense late in the season, so perhaps Saturday could be the team’s most poignant performance yet.

“We can come out hopefully free of abandon and use all of the experience we’ve had this year and finish it off on a high note,” said Van Dyke.

“It’d be nothing better than to ruin Princeton’s celebration and ceremony on our field with a loss.”

Princeton (8-5-2, 1-3-1 Ivy) 7:30 p.m.

Rhodes Field

It’s been a rough season for the Quakers, but they’ll certainly be entering their final home game of the year on a high note.

Penn soccer will celebrate Senior Night on Saturday when the team takes on Princeton in the 2015 Rhodes Field finale.

The Red and Blue are coming off Tuesday’s thrilling doubleovertime road win against West Virginia.

The Quakers found themselves

behind the Mountaineers early, allowing two goals in the game’s first 30 minutes. But junior Alec Neumann got Penn back in the game by putting home his own rebound in the 38th minute.

Sophomore Sam Wancowicz brought the Quakers level with a chip shot in the 60th minute.

“We gave up two goals pretty early, but I thought we were still playing pretty well when we gave up those goals,” sophomore midfielder Austin Kuhn said. “We definitely kept our heads up and played with a lot of confidence for the rest of the first half and second half.

Senior goalie Max Polkinhorne kept the Red and Blue alive with some key saves down the stretch and into the suddendeath overtime periods, and Wancowicz struck again with a header in the 106th minute for the golden goal that sealed

Penn’s first win in its last six matches.

“It was a great team performance,” Wancowicz said.

“Obviously going down 2-0 is rough, but winning 3-2 shows a lot of guts and effort, which is what we talk about a lot in the locker room and is good to see out on the field.”

The Tigers (8-5-2, 1-3-1 Ivy) are carrying some momentum into Saturday’s matchup as well, having shut out Drexel on Tuesday in a 4-0 win.

The Quakers (3-9-2, 1-3-1) will, of course, use the season’s final home game to honor the team’s seniors for their contributions over the last four years. But even though Penn is out of the Ivy title race, expect the focus to be on winning rather than ceremony for a Red and Blue squad that has made it very clear they do not intend to simply play out

the string.

“What it comes down to is the culture and the habits of the program have to stay consistent,” Penn coach Rudy Fuller said before last week’s 2-1 loss to Brown. “You can’t just be at your best or try on 72-degree sunny days or when there’s something to play for.”

Both Penn and Princeton have struggled mightily in league play this season, and each team will be chasing its mere second league win against its hated rival on Saturday. With football and field hockey also hosting the Tigers this Homecoming weekend, the atmosphere around campus should be electric.

“They’re our rivals so we have to be ready for it,” Kuhn said.

“It’s only my second Homecoming, but it should be a good crowd and be an exciting game to play in.”

Every day is Homecoming for Quakers’ assistants

SPRINT FB | Three coaches Hubsher for the software com-

played for Wagner at Penn STEVEN JACOBSON Sports Reporter

Bill Wagner, who has headed Penn’s sprint football program for the past 46 years, has coached thousands of players during his time working at Franklin Field.

The affable coach remembers each of their names and still keeps in touch with many of them.

Wagner, however, works closely with a few of these alumni in particular, as three former players currently serve as his assistant coaches.

While all three men share the experience of having suited up in the Red and Blue for Wagner, they did so at various points in the coach’s tenure — former wide receiver Dave Hubsher and linebacker Sam Biddle both graduated from Penn in 2011 while former defensive end and fullback Chuck Hitschler played for the Quakers during Wagner’s first years at the helm, from 1970 to 1972.

Each coach has had to make sacrifices to serve on Wagner’s staff, as all three come to practice after completing their respective day jobs. Hitschler has been a math teacher at William Penn Charter School for the past four decades, while Biddle works for Lincoln Financial Group and

and freshmen Selena Garzio, who was recently honored as the

pany SAP. “I wish these guys got paid enough so they could quit their jobs and come help me out full time,� Wagner joked. “Although they do have very good jobs,� he added.

For Hubsher and Biddle, this often means they must hurry to Franklin Field after completing their day jobs for the team’s 6 to 9 p.m. practices — a 12-hour day for the coaches. However, those final three hours are far from work. “This isn’t really work for me,�

Hubsher said. “This is the fun part of the day,�

Biddle added. “It’s good to end the day with your best couple of hours.�

It can get a little hectic, as Hitschler pointed out, when the team travels to face far-flung opponents such as Cornell in Ithaca, N.Y., or Franklin Pierce in Rindge, N.H. On the other hand, managing both his teaching and coaching duties is easy for Hitschler, as the school day ends at 3:30 p.m. for him.

For Hubsher, whose job allows him to refrain from traveling or working during the sprint football season, the opportunity has been especially significant, as he missed most of his senior season with a knee injury. “It was weird for me not having that closure of knowing it’s your

final game,� Hubsher said. “I always just wanted more, I guess.�

Hitschler also had a unique path back to the Quakers. After graduating from the Wharton School in 1973, he pursued a teaching career and coached high school football for over 40 years.

But three years ago, Hitschler ended his run as William Penn Charter’s head coach. His son, who also attended Penn, suggested that he call Wagner to ask if he had any openings on the staff. “That’s why I’m back down here,� Hitschler said. “It’s been a hoot.�

Each coach often envisions their own playing days when watching the current team take the field.

Hitschler recalls a game against Cornell during his career when Franklin Field had first been installed with artificial turf. It was a wet day, and when he tackled a Big Red player, the two skidded 20 yards out of bounds. The players crashed into a pole vault pit, whereupon buckets of rainwater poured onto them. “The Cornell kid and I looked at each other, shrugged, and were like, ‘So be it, we’ll get back up and play some more,’� Hitschler recounted. “Chuck was always tough as nails,� Wagner noted.

All three men revel in the opportunity to be as close to the

Ivy League Rookie of the Week after her game-winning goal against Brown last weekend.

If the Red and Blue are looking to win on Saturday, they

will have to flip the script on the Tigers, a team that has historically dominated the Quakers. In fact, 2004 was not only the last year Penn won the Ivy League

action as they are now. But they still sometimes yearn to be back on the field themselves.

Last year, in Biddle’s first as an assistant coach, the Quakers took the field first on defense in their opening game. When the defensive unit was called to the field, Biddle took a few steps from the sidelines before realizing his role. “I realized, ‘Oh it’s not my turn.

Better stay back on the sidelines,’�

Biddle said.

Hubsher also often brings his cleats to practice to demonstrate techniques and plays for his players. On top of that, his relative youth also created an interesting situation in his first year as an assistant in 2013, as he had played

with that year’s senior class when they were freshmen.

However, the awkwardness did not create any conflicts of interest. While the players had been good friends with Hubsher when he was on the team and continued to be so when he returned as a coach, they had few issues with his authority as a coach. “I was pretty good friends with the guys at the same time that I was coaching them, but there was never any problem with that in terms of having to enforce what I was saying,� Hubsher said. “They were pretty good about separating the two.�

Although the trio’s jobs and roles on the team may have

changed over the years, some things have remained the same, namely the wily veteran on the sidelines. “[Wagner] hasn’t changed,�

Hitschler said. “Wags never changes,� Biddle added. “He doesn’t hop in quite as often [during practice] and run the offense,� Hitschler said of the septuagenarian coach. “But there’s still the enthusiasm, the spirit and the organization — he’s right on top of things.�

Hubsher agreed, stating that serving alongside his former coach has allowed him to see a different side of him. “You see all the work he has to put in just besides the Xs and Os to organize everything,� Hubsher said, “The football team, the administrative stuff and also managing the individual kids and trying to help them in terms of school and life after school. “It’s interesting to see all of the other stuff he does for us besides just putting together a football team.�

And as Homecoming approaches this weekend, for each coach, returning to the team they once played on has been nothing short of a joy. “I wanted to come back because of how much this program has given me,� Biddle said. “I just wanted to give back to the program as much as it gave me.�

— it is the last time it beat Princeton.

Despite the poor track record against the Tigers over the past decade, Fink insists that the Red and Blue head into the weekend confident. “I firmly believe in this team and this program,� Fink said. “We have fantastic individual players, but more importantly, we’ve been playing together as a team.� “I actually can’t imagine not winning this game,� senior attacker Elizabeth Hitti said. “It

doesn’t make sense in my mind.

We all can picture it, we are all solely focused on winning.�

For Hitti, the big game comes the same week as she received an invite to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division I Senior Game. The invite was limited to 38 players nationwide, and Hitti is one of only three Ivy League participants.

Getting invited to such a prestigious event is a testament to Hitti’s record-breaking senior season, which has seen her set Penn records for assists in one

season (17) and for an entire career (33).

Despite the high honor, Hitti remains focused on this weekend’s championship-deciding match. “I am proud of myself, and I am looking forward to playing with the other top seniors on the country,� Hitti said. “But I am 100 percent focused on winning this weekend. “That’s the vision the team has had all season, and now it’s just about putting the vision into action.�

3, the Red and Blue have averaged 42.3 points in their last four contests while simultaneously forcing 10 turnovers during their threegame winning streak.

And with Penn playing so well since its early October stumble to Dartmouth, it’s no surprise that the team is having more fun than at this time in 2014, when the Quakers were a measly 1-6 and nowhere near the thick of the Ivy title race.

“After winning, you feel a lot of weight come off your shoulders,” running back Tre Solomon added.

“Last year, we hadn’t won more than one game at this point in the season. So we are a lot more excited about the games, and it’s more fun to be at practice or on the sidelines during games.”

Along with junior quarterback Alek Torgersen, Solomon is one of the main reasons Penn has managed to light up the scoreboard of late. The sophomore from Brooklyn had his first 100-yard game two weeks ago against Yale and has

SPORTS 13

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2015

scored seven times in his last three games.

Additionally, since returning from a head injury after a one-game absence on Oct. 17, Torgersen has been unstoppable. The veteran has completed 69 percent of his passes with 10 touchdowns and no interceptions.

“We really have just started to believe in the system that [offensive coordinator John] Reagan set up for us,” Solomon said. “He just does a really good job putting us in the right position, and we have been doing a better job of executing. We have a lot more faith in ourselves right now.”

The Tigers (5-2, 2-2) are coming off an impressive performance of their own, a 47-21 win over Cornell on Saturday. Princeton, who entered the game on a two-game skid, jumped out to a 17-7 halftime and didn’t look back, with Dre Nelson’s 103-yard fourth-quarter kick return touchdown sealing the win.

Having faced off with predominantly passing attacks throughout the season, Penn is presented with a different challenge this weekend.

Against the Big Red, the Tigers scored four rushing touchdowns and accrued 261 yards on the ground.

Despite the change of pace, the Quakers’ defense, led by seniors Tyler Drake and Ian Dobbins, is up for the challenge.

“I think we’re all playing on the same page and getting 11 hats to the ball every play,” Dobbins said.

“It’s playoff football in our minds right now. Every game means a lot, so we’ll do what we need to do to win.”

With both sides of the ball in such synchronization for Penn at this point, the question for the team may not be whether or not it can beat the Tigers. Instead, the better question might be by how much. “[We need to] use our weapons,” Solomon said. “[Sophomore wide receiver] Justin Watson is going to catch a couple touchdowns for us on Saturday, [freshman wide receiver] Christian Pearson is going to catch a couple. Hopefully I get to run a couple in.

“I think it’s going to be a blowout. 64-0.”

Penn begins stretch of meaningful Nov. games

FOOTBALL | Quakers are one of only two

teams who control their Ivy title fate RILEY STEELE Senior Sports Editor

ILANA WURMAN | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

Senior defensive back Ian Dobbins has had an interception in each of Penn’s last three games, all wins.

When Penn football and Princeton face off each season, the game is always meaningful.

However, with the Quakers looking to continue their three-game winning streak this weekend, Saturday’s game is more than just Homecoming for the Red and Blue: It’s an opportunity.

Fresh off a 48-28 thrashing of Brown last weekend, Penn (4-3, 3-1 Ivy) is one of only SATURDAY two teams in the Ivy League that still controls its destiny Princeton in 2015. Starting with a win (5-2, 2-2 Ivy) on Saturday, if the Quakers 12 p.m. win out, they are guaranteed Franklin Field at least a share of the conference title.

“We recruit and we always say we want to be playing meaningful games in November,” coach Ray Priore said. “So we have three games in November that have the potential to be pretty meaningful.”

Aside from Harvard, who has gone 21 consecutive contests without a loss, Penn is the hottest team in the conference at the moment. Since a 41-20 loss to the Big Green on Oct. SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 13

decides Ivy champion JACOB SNYDER Sports Reporter SATURDAY

Princeton (9-6, 6-0 Ivy) 12 p.m.

Vagelos Field

The year is 2004.

Penn field hockey has just beaten Princeton to win a share of

DP S WA M I S

the Ivy League title with Harvard.

Flash forward to 2015.

For the Quakers, it’s Tiger-taming time again.

A win against Princeton (9-6, 6-0 Ivy) would pull the Red and Blue (13-2, 5-1) into a tie atop the Ivy League with the Tigers.

Fortunately for the Quakers, the tiebreaker would side with Penn due to the head-to-head result.

To earn the elusive Ivy championship, the Red and Blue will have to take down Princeton in a fiery rivalry matchup at noon this Saturday at Vagelos Field. With the win, the Quakers would also qualify

for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993, a time when most current Penn players were not even born.

The situation is eerily similar to two years ago, when Penn had the same scenario and lost, 5-1.

Although the memory still lingers in the minds of some of the older Penn players, coach Colleen Fink maintains that the team has moved past it.

“I think the players realize not only that Princeton is a different team now than it was then, but that we are a different team,” Fink said.

One of the big focuses for the

Red and Blue is stalling a Princeton offense that has amassed an Ancient Eight-leading 25 goals in conference play, 10 more than the Quakers have netted.

“Our defense has been working hard all season to prepare for strong offenders like the ones Princeton has,” senior defender Nicole Mackin said. “We know what we have to do to stop any strong opponent.”

Mackin anchors a stringent Penn defense alongside junior Claire Kneizys, sophomore Jasmine Li SEE FIELD HOCKEY PAGE 12

PUCK FRINCETON

Buck the F*ckeyes and Suck the Fartons are hilarious, if not appropriate, rivalry nicknames.

Puck Frinceton may not quite be on par with the aforementioned B1G slogans, but what do you expect from the Ivy League?

Nonetheless, despite “College GameDay” not being in Philadelphia this weekend, Penn fans are sure to be flying its diss of the Tigers high on Homecoming Saturday. … That is, if any make it to the game.

But, for those who do, it is sure to be a thrilling affair.

Franklin Field will welcome home alumni and a Quakers’ squad fresh off three straight tremendous wins, a team that has

scored at least 34 in each and won by no less than 14. But before the College Football Playoff selection committee starts questioning the Red and Blue’s strength of schedule, Jeff Long and company should ask themselves: Did Alabama or LSU take down Villanova on the road?

So Princeton parents, players and alums, it’s time to sit your kids down and have a chat because something dangerous is brewing in West Philly this year. That’s right: It’s time to tell your kids the honest truth because Penn is good.

That conversation may be tough.

“But don’t they have nearly the same roster as last year when

they only had two wins?” your children may ask.

“Yes, kids, yes,” you will gloomily reply.

“Isn’t it our sprint football team that gets blown out by the Quakers?” They will continue.

“This year,” you say. “Unfortunately both the 172 pounders and the (relatively) big boys may fall in defeat.”

Ray Priore has this team firing on all cylinders and it’s time to flip the script. So get ready kids: This is gonna be a good ol’ Texas style shootout. The days of three screens and a cloud of dust are gone.
