Maureen Rush was a pioneer for female police officers in Philadelphia. She fought intense discrimination while making her way through the ranks to become Penn’s top cop.

he two of them stood still, guns cocked and pointed at one another in a drug store in Philadelphia’s “fighting district.” It was Maureen Rush’s fifth week on the job as a Philadelphia police officer, and she was already in a standoff with a drug addict.

The man — who had long greasy hair, donning aviators and a leather jacket — had jumped behind the pharmacy counter to rummage through the shelves.

“We were screaming and yelling at each other, and he kept telling his partner to shoot me,” Rush said. “I kept thinking, ‘If he shoots me, he’s coming down with me.’”

But as many times as he threatened her, he never pulled the trigger. In the commotion, someone called the police and backup officers arrived, diffusing the situation so the two men could be taken into custody.

“The reason I’m here to tell this story is because he was so shocked that I was a woman that he couldn’t do it,” Rush said.

Maureen Rush — currently Penn’s vice president for public safety — was one of Philadelphia’s first 100 female police officers on street patrol in 1976. The pilot program tested whether women were capable of foot patrol in a city that openly attacked the concept of female police officers.

But the skeptics were disappointed, one female officer at a time. Rush broke the glass ceiling with each promotion she earned on the force. After taking a leap to Penn, she became the University’s first female chief of police and later the first female head of the public safety department. This year marks Rush’s 20th since coming to Penn, after serving 18 years in the Philadelphia Police Department.

Burglaries, bike thefts increase in Oct.

Crimes against people are down this year, as compared to this time last year JOE LI Staff Writer

This October saw a major increase in burglaries from the previous year, adding to the trend of higher levels of crimes against property — like thefts and burglaries — since last year.

The eight-fold increase in burglaries — from one in October 2013 to eight last month — adds to the trend of more burglaries in the Penn Patrol Zone this calendar year, which more than doubled last year’s reports. In the past two months, 15 burglaries were reported, compared to the two reported in September and October of last year.

Part of this month’s increase stems from a string of off-campus burglaries reported at the end of September and the beginning of October, which prompted the Division of Public Safety to issue a safety advisory.

Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said that October’s increase in burglaries was due in part to the fact that students don’t lock their doors. If a person’s door is unlocked, a burglar can easily enter a house and steal that person’s belongings, Rush said.

“Just like you and your friends have a designated driver for your car, you need to have a designated ‘lock-

When Cesar finishes his shift at the Inn at Penn each afternoon, he finds his Nissan Pathfinder and begins his drive home. His route, however, is not a direct one. When he gets to his car, Cesar turns on his UberX app and waits for a ride to be requested nearby.

“It’s not required to work a full eight-hour shift, which is a good thing — this is one of the best jobs ever,” Cesar said. He added that on busy nights, he could end driving as late as 10 p.m., and make as much as $200, a hefty supplement to his Inn at Penn salary.

‘Wasting time on the internet’ – not your average course policy SOPHIA WITTE Staff Writer

In a new English course, Penn students will get course credit for watching YouTube videos and messaging friends online.

But while professor Kenneth Goldsmith’s new course “Wasting time on the Internet” will use digital distraction to inspire students’ creative writing, not all Penn professors have proverbially downloaded Goldsmith’s philosophy.

Policies on laptop and technology use at Penn vary from class to class, depending on the desires of professors.

For Goldsmith, messaging, status-updating and random online surfing will serve as “the raw ma-

tween Uber and the Philadelphia Parking Authority continues over the legality of the rideshare service in Pennsylvania. UberX is a cheaper version of Uber’s high-end, electronically-hailed taxi service that allows any driver approved by the company to transport passengers in their own cars.

For students who don’t want to pay the price for an Uber Black or Uber SUV ride, UberX can be an efficient option to travel to the city and suburbs. It’s another on-demand option that students prefer over waiting for taxis that don’t always frequent University City.

UberX’s cost is similar to that of Philadelphia taxi fare. UberX has a $3 base fare, while Philadelphia taxis have a base rate of $2.70. UberX is slightly cheaper per mile.

“I wasn’t actually aware that it isn’t legal yet,” College sophomore Talia Lieberman said. “I can still call an UberX on the Uber App on my phone. I hope it continues to operate.”

terial for creating compelling and emotional works of literature,” according to the course description for his class next semester.

“With technology all around in my classrooms, I realized that it made my students smarter, not dumber,” Goldsmith said. “I wanted to create a course that used that resource as a basis for investigation.”

But Stephanie Weirich — a Penn computer science professor who, ironically, bans computers in an introductory programming course — thinks that computers distract students more than they help them learn.

“When I had taught my class without the [computer ban] policy in place, I was getting frustrated with how quiet the class was, how engrossed they were in their laptops and how less engaged they were in lecture,” Weirich said. Banning laptops, she felt, would increase student engagement.

“I view class time as a two-way

communication since I feel that I can be a better lecturer if I’m getting information back from them,” Weirich added. “It makes you uncomfortable when you aren’t getting the nonverbal conversation cues back from 150 laptop backs.”

Across the country, schools have taken different approaches to computer use in the classroom. In 2008, the University of Chicago Law School banned internet access in classrooms to stop students from surfing the web in lectures. About a third of professors in Duke University’s undergraduate sociology department no longer allow students to use laptops in class.

“I stopped using my laptop in class because I know that if I have it open I won’t pay attention during class,” College sophomore Gabby Even-Chen said. “I now take notes on pen and paper instead of using my laptop.”

However, research is divided on the issue of computer use in class-

“UberX is an illegal act,” said PPA Executive Director Vince Fenerty in an interview Thursday. “The service is illegal throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

There is no statute that permits them to operate as a rideshare company in this state.” Fenerty did not cite any laws or statutes that prohibit ridesharing companies from operating.

During the two days after UberX’s Oct. 24 launch, PPA Officials stopped six UberX drivers and impounded their cars.

“Our policy is to do everything we can to shut them down,” Fenerty said. He explained that when UberX drivers are caught, they will be fined $1,000 and have their cars impounded. Uber will also be fined $1,000 for “aiding and abetting an illegal taxi service,” as well as an additional $750 for operating an illegal dispatch system.

But Uber is fighting back. As of Oct. 15, more than 43,000 individuals signed a petition that asked for the state to legalize UberX, but legislators say that it is not going to be approved until 2015. Uber has spent almost $100,000 on lobbying efforts

use computers in class consistently perform better than students who are multitasking online.

Even while some feel that laptop use might be detrimental to learning, many students are still using computers in class. To embrace

that trend at Penn, Goldsmith aims to explore the phenomenon of aimless drifting and online distractions.

In addition to providing critical texts about the history of boredom and wasting time, Goldsmith will require students to spend the threehour class period staring at their screens in online chat rooms, social media sites or other forms of internet browsing.

“I think it’s a hallmark of the undergraduate liberal arts program to expose students to unconventional ways of thinking,” Goldsmith said. “Now is the time to indulge in something weird and experimental before leaving and getting jobs.

Isn’t that what an undergraduate education is all about?”

While some professors ban laptops completely, Goldsmith believes “that battle can’t be won since you can’t keep students away from it, so instead it will be interesting to see what happens when you nourish it.”

a medallion — a required plate attached to taxis that costs around $500,000 — and is much safer for drivers.

Cesar, who used to work for his father’s taxi company in New Jersey, said he was robbed four times as a cab driver. He added that his father was initially troubled by his son working for Uber, but has now understands the benefits Cesar is enjoying from it.

“It’s not worth it for cab drivers to pay for medallions anymore,” said a Philadelphia cab driver. He’ll quit, he said, when he is sure he can drive for UberX legally instead.

Cesar is dissatisfied with the backlash UberX has been getting from the PPA. “Uber does extensive background checks on all of the drivers and all of our cars are new and have insurance,” he said “All of the paperwork went through. If it was illegal [Uber] wouldn’t let us pick up here. It’s just the PPA making it hard.”

Fenerty says that drivers like Cesar are misguided in their understanding of the law. He believes that Uber is wrongfully telling its drivers

that UberX is legal when it’s not.

“The majority of drivers who we have stopped and impounded their vehicles had said that they were unaware it was illegal and that Uber had told them to just go out and operate and if anything happened, they’d cover it,” he said. “So, UberX is advising them to go out and break the law.”

Many UberX drivers are indifferent to the PPA’s threats, and feel confident enough to continue operating, especially with Uber’s guarantee.

“The PPA doesn’t have arrest authority. It’s not like I can be arrested,” UberX driver Dan Carsor said. “It hasn’t affected me. Uber said they would cover me 100 percent.” Carsor, a high school administrator from Cherry Hill, N.J., drives for UberX on rainy nights and other peak times to make some extra money. When UberX was launched in Philadelphia, he started driving on the other side of the Delaware River, especially on big nights like Halloween.

“If [UberX] was illegal, I wouldn’t be doing it,” Cesar said.

jurisdiction. On Oct. 27 he tweeted, “Facts: I strongly support having Uber/Lyft services in Philly. The #PPA, a STATE authority not run by the City, opposes them.”

Fenerty seemed unamused by the mayor’s support. “The mayor doesn’t have the authority to approve UberX,” he said. “Only an act of the state legislature and the senate could authorize UberX.” Philadelphia cab drivers are beginning to see the benefits of driving an UberX, which doesn’t require

er’ for your door,” Rush advised.

Bike thefts also increased in October by 50 percent, as compared to the previous year. Rush said this is largely due to students not locking their bikes or using easily-defeated locks. Some students have the more powerful U-locks, but they might lock it in an incorrect way that eventually results in the loss of their bikes, Rush said.

However, as bike thefts and burglaries have gone up this October, crimes against people — like forcible sex offenses, assaults and robberies — have largely decreased this year. Crimes against people are down 23 percent from 2013.

There have been half as many sex offenses reported in 2014 as compared to last year at this time.

However, Rush cautioned that might not mean that Penn has been successful in reducing the total number of offenses, since some go unreported.

“A lot of sex offenses usually

happen in doors, and oftentimes the only way to prevent them is to educate students. We don’t know if the number going down means success from our part,” Rush said. “All we know is that we are trying to make sure that victims of sex offenses know how to report a case.”

This October also saw a 36 percent decrease in thefts, with a large decrease in retail theft, which dropped down to one report, as compared to the six made last October. Rush attributed the decrease to the retail theft task force deployed during the summer.

Although the task force ended its work in September, Rush said that the task force had a substantial effect on deterring shoplifters which still remains.

Two cases of arson were also reported last month. Rush said these were two small fires on trash at a construction site near the Perelman Center, and police officers and firemen reacted immediately. No one has been arrested for the arson cases yet, and the investigation is still ongoing.

A campus home for students with children The Family Resource Center offers service like lactation rooms HANNAH NOYES Staff Writer

Ruth Richert, the spouse of a Penn graduate student, appreciates Penn’s Family Resource Center because it gives her a safe, family friendly location that she can take her two children to on Penn’s campus.

Her children enjoy spending time at the center, meeting new friends and speaking foreign languages with them.

Richert especially values the lactation rooms on the bottom floor of the Locust Walk center, where she can spend free time relaxing.

The Family Resource Center has been a resource for people like Richert — students and family members of Penn’s graduate community — since it was founded four years ago, modeled off a similar program at the University of Chicago. This summer, it moved from its old location in Houston Hall to its own facility on the bottom floor of the Graduate Student Center. The new center, which has more than doubled its staff from two to five members, features two lactation centers, play rooms, reading rooms and family bathrooms.

“We have a lot of positive feedback for this new location and can have extended hours,” said Anita Mastroieni, director of the Graduate Student Center and Family Resource Center.

The center provides specific resources that students with children — whether graduate

or undergraduate students — may not be aware of. Along with advice and weekly information groups focusing on topics like lactation, the center provides important resources that graduate students might need.

Through one of the center’s programs, students from the Graduate School of Education teach English to spouses of graduate students from other countries — which is extremely relevant to graduate students because “about a third of our students are international which means that if their spouse is on their student visa, they cannot work,” Mastroieni said. Since GSE students generally need experience teaching as part of their degrees anyway, it is a win-win situation — and the center can offer this program

for free, Mastroieni added.

Cordelia Loots-Gollin, a second-year Master of Social Work student in the School of Social Policy & Practice, explained a typical day for her working at the Family Resource Center.

“It’s not a substitution for daycare, but we have specific programs going on throughout the week,” Loots-Gollin said. She typically answers questions and signs people into the center. Students have to register for the program to use its services, but membership is free.

Loots-Gollin said the center’s most successful event is its monthly Saturday brunch, a free event for members and a great opportunity for student parents to meet new people.

Another program that has

been very well-received is the center’s partnership with care.com. With funding from the Provost’s office, the center has offered discounted childcare with the popular website for $5 per hour, as opposed to the usual $15 going rate per hour.

Emergency Backup Child Care is also available for students and post-doctoral fellows at Penn through this partnership. For a subsidized rate, parents can pay for care for their children in situations like snow days or when their children fall ill and they have to go to class.

It’s hard enough for graduate students to adjust to coursework, Mastroieni said.

The center is “trying to ease these transitions — from new graduate student to new parent.”

s co-presidents of Penn Speaks for Autism, we recognize the importance of the discussion brought about in the recently published column by Xeno Washburne and Amber Blaylock. We sincerely appreciate that these two authors articulated their views about this controversial topic concerning the autistic community.

Further, we would have gladly contributed our views on how PSFA supports Penn students with autism or those who wish to get involved in the autistic community if the current board was approached by the authors beforehand. However, on behalf of the dedicated general body members and executive board of PSFA, we would like to clarify our club’s overall mission to the community at Penn and in greater Philadelphia.

First and foremost, we are not affiliated with Autism Speaks, and we are comprised of diverse students with varying viewpoints. We are an independent, studentrun organization at Penn that offers a welcoming and safe environment for all those who care and support autistic individuals. In fact, the central mission of our group, as displayed on our website, is “to provide the University of Pennsylvania and surrounding areas with support for and information on autism through volunteer opportunities, awareness events, and fundraisers.” We have multiple programs that welcome all participants on and off the spectrum to engage in meaningful social or educational events. In addition to our monthly family workshops and weekly after-school autistic support program at the

Additionally, concerning our name choice, the founding board members chose it for the purpose of expressing our value in advocacy. While there has been discussion of changing our name amongst our executive board, we have been reluctant to modify our name due to the connections we have made with autism organizations and families

throughout Philadelphia.

We encourage interested Penn students to learn more about us directly by attending our monthly GBMs or volunteer programs. In order to truly understand what Penn Speaks for Autism does and stands for, we feel that direct communication with us is key.

Speaking on behalf of our executive board, we are always open to new feedback and perspectives to help us better learn about and support the ASD community.

THE FAITHLESS QUAKER | Conservatives are breaking fearmongering down to a sci-

ell, this is it.

The Republicans have officially taken the Senate. Who knows what happens next? Best case scenario: a great deal of nothing.

You’ve got to hand it to them — they’ve spent considerable time and effort convincing the public to be afraid of nearly everything. Republican advertisements over the last few months have focused heavily on foreign threats, featuring images of ISIS militants and trying to connect Obama’s name with Ebola.

The conservative message is simple: Be quite afraid.

This might seem, at first, like little more than an arbitrary observation. After all, Democrats have doubtlessly appealed to powerful emotions for campaign purposes, too.

Could there really be anything concrete that ties conservatives — or conservative thinking — to this kind of propaganda?

Scientists are beginning to think there might be. An increasing body of literature has come to suspect that political views are deeply influenced by psychological factors. One study published about a week ago claims that differences in party affiliation correlated with different neural responses to alarming stimuli, particularly regarding fear and disgust.

When shown threatening or revolting images, conservatives responded with greater activity than did liberals in areas of the brain responsible for intensely negative emotions, such as the amygdala.

Another study claims that liberals demonstrate greater neural activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, which plays an active role in complex thought (science said it, not me). Brief but disturbing film clips were even enough to inspire short-term shifts of political attitude.

communal identity and mystical belief. But we don’t rely on horse-drawn carts or swords and shields anymore; it will take more than fire to burn the terrors all away.

The challenges we face today are of a different sort. Famine and infectious disease are obviously still around, but traf-

Conservative political organization might have yielded an advantage in more primitive times, but today, it lends itself too easily to xenophobia, negotiation through brute force and the persecution of religious minorities.”

These findings require closer analysis, but they aren’t entirely surprising. In a world of disease, starvation and competition, a healthy dose of fear would have gone a long way in helping our ancestors survive. Driven by negative emotion and an intense sense of loss aversion, they would have banded together in small but powerful in-groups, stayed close to the village shrine and shunned whoever was alien enough to come across as threatening. In times of the past, conservative politics and social structures would have constituted a powerful and reliable survival strategy.

As the Red Woman from “Game of Thrones” put it, “the night is dark and full of terrors,” and the conservative perspective reflects a worldview suited for something like the Seven Kingdoms, with unwavering emphasis on hierarchy,

fic accidents pose a far greater risk to most of us than does Ebola. We used to worry about how to keep our tribes from going hungry; now we strive to prevent ourselves from overeating and provide adequate resources for the impoverished. We used to worry about protecting ourselves from other tribes; now we strive to ensure that individuals of all backgrounds and physical features enjoy equal protection and legal representation.

Indeed, our world is larger and more complex than ever before. We live with large populations, abundant resources and efficient technology. We’ve traded tribalism for a social contract. No longer is life poor, nasty, brutish and short.

If anything, adherence to archaic social norms and superstition now stand in the way of the sorts of progress that we hope to attain. Conservative

behavior might have yielded an advantage in more primitive times, but today, it lends itself too easily to xenophobia, negotiation through brute force and the persecution of religious minorities.

It’s easy to give in to scary stimuli, but if we fail to think carefully and rationally about what really matters, we fail to take true responsibility for our political process — not to mention putting ourselves at risk of reaching harmful outcomes.

The point is not to ignore our fear, but to evaluate it sensibly and with restraint.

The challenges of modern life are too complex to solve through mere emotion; we must be willing to think carefully and not be distracted by our own psyches.

Not everyone needs to be a liberal. We just need more people to think like one.

JONATHAN IWRY is a 2014 College graduate from Potomac, Md., who studied philosophy and history. His email address is jon.iwry@ gmail.com. “The Faithless Quaker” appears every Monday.

his fall, the University of Pennsylvania was awarded the title of Number One Party School in America by Playboy.

As far as I know, not a single Penn student took this seriously.

People posted incredulous Facebook statuses and ironic tweets and genuinely wondered if Playboy had meant to give the honor to Penn State — and then we all went out to knock back a few glasses of Franzia at a BYO. That’s how I remember it, anyway. But as Alice Robb tells it in a recent New Republic article, this obvious bit of controversy-seeking by Playboy was a crucial moment in the history of Penn. There was a chance — just a chance, mind you — that it would “finally give Penn the identity it never quite possessed.”

partying social climber is some schlub in a library — and that sometimes those are even the same person. In other words, she would have found out that Penn is filled with human beings.

No one would deny that Penn has problems within its campus culture. Students here are stressed out about getting good grades and finding good jobs. Parts of the social scene impose a financial burden that not everyone can meet, and there are genuine concerns to be raised about exclusivity and gender issues in Greek life. There is plenty of pressure to go to Wall Street after graduation. There are apparently people who really do care about where their house falls in some online sorority ranking.

Of course, you’d find all these things at any college.

…Students here spend their time on all sorts of projects and groups that have very little to do with employment prospects and that lots of people don’t think of their fraternities and sororities solely as a ‘gateway to the gilded Goldman life.’”

It’s not entirely clear what having an “identity” means, or whether it’s true that Penn doesn’t have one, or why it would be a good thing to reduce a school of 20,000 people down to a few lazy adjectives. But never mind. Robb investigated the possibility that we might be developing an identity with the kind of dogged shoe leather reporting we’ve come to expect from one of America’s foremost policy magazines, by which I mean she went to a couple of frat parties during Homecoming.

What happened next won’t surprise you. Robb determined that Penn students have a chip on our collective shoulder because we didn’t get into Yale. We desperately seek markers of status.

We’re all climbing over each other to get finance and consulting jobs. We go to parties so we can check off boxes on our to-do lists, and our Greek life is really just next-level networking. Something something Ben Franklin.

For any Penn student, this is old news. We talk about these problems all the time. Robb could have saved herself the trip by just reading The Daily Pennsylvanian or 34th Street once in a while. Of course, then she would have also seen that students here spend their time on all sorts of projects and groups that have very little to do with employment prospects and that lots of people don’t think of their fraternities and sororities solely as “a gateway to the gilded Goldman life,” and that for every hard-

Steady employment and the validation of your peers are pretty basic human desires. But “Students Seek Jobs and Social Status, Sometimes Feel Anxious About It” doesn’t make for much of a headline. To get buzz, you need to turn these typical collegiate issues into some broader statement about the way we live now, and you need to ignore all the people who don’t live that way. So the fact that Penn has some elitists and go-getters and people carrying padfolios, and the fact that a rainy homecoming night didn’t produce a lot of “Project X”-type parties have to be combined into a half-baked diagnosis of “a specific kind of insecurity — borne of a combination of ambition and inferiority complex.”

Well, fine. People are entitled to their opinions, and the internet can always use more clickbait.

Meanwhile, Penn students will just carry on living our lives.

Sometimes we’ll do that in problematic ways, and sometimes we’ll try to fix the problems we see. Mostly, though, we’ll hang out with our friends and drink crappy beer and complain about classes and jobs and not worry about whether our school has the right “identity.” Anything else would seem insecure.

RUSH

>> PAGE 1

Under Rush’s leadership, the number of public safety personnel has doubled to nearly 800 security guards, police officers and administrators to protect Penn’s 2.5 square mile patrol zone. She manages a budget of $22 million to spend across eight departments.

But making her way to vice president for public safety and handling all of its responsibilities has been no easy feat. Rush’s story is one of cold winters, undercover operations, murders and sexism. It’s also a story of ambition, empathy and trust.

Rush’s endeavors even inspired 1990 College graduate Meredith Stiehm to name the main character of the television show “Cold Case” — Lilly Rush — in homage to Penn’s top cop.

“I thought her grit was amazing. Somebody who has the nerve to go on the force in the ’70s when they were very vocal on not wanting women,” Stiehm said.

“She is all take-no-prisoners, tellit-like-it-is.”

The first 100 Maureen Rush was born in the Swampoodle section of North Philadelphia. She grew up with two older sisters and an older brother in an Irish Catholic household.

In the early 1970s, Rush worked at a bank in the Penn Center concourse that runs underneath City Hall. At the time, a string of abductions had prompted panic across the city. Women had been taken down into the dark hallways easily hidden among the subway tracks and maintenance closets where they were usually sexually assaulted.

The police department had hired women to serve as bait for abductors. As Rush worked a typical shift in her bank, she spotted a woman in the concourse who appeared to be undercover.

“I saw Vicky, the rape decoy on duty near my bank, and I asked her a million questions about what she did,” Rush said. “And I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do. I want to be a rape decoy.’”

“I told my family, and they were so proud,” she joked.

But the obstacles to becoming a female member of the police force were immense. At the time, Philadelphia was one of the last cities refusing promotions for female officers and preventing them from patrolling on the streets.

Only men were allowed to take the “policeman test,” which offered opportunities for patrol duty and promotions. The handful of women who were on the force at all had taken a distinct “policewoman test,” restricting female officers’ responsibilities.

When one of the female officers sued the city for sex discrimination, then-Police Commissioner Joseph O’Neill testified that women were not capable of patrol work “because God, in his wisdom, made them different.”

The United States Department of Justice refused to accept O’Neill’s testimony at face value, requiring Philadelphia to study whether women were capable of patrol duty.

In a pilot program, an incoming class of women who passed the “policeman test” would be compared to a rookie class of men over two years. The results would determine the future for women in law enforcement in the city.

“It was like Beirut,” Rush said.

“The city government, the mayor and the police commissioner were dead set against women being put on street patrol. From the police academy throughout my career on the street, they made everything harder for women.”

The inequities began in training, when the police department built an obstacle course geared to test upper body strength, leaving women at a disadvantage.

Women who successfully became officers were not allowed to patrol alongside veterans as the new male recruits did. These women patrolled alone, with poorly working radios in the most dangerous areas of the city — without bulletproof vests.

“We often didn’t know if the people on the other side of the radio didn’t hear us or they were playing games with us. And it was a little scary,” said Penn’s current Director of Special Services Patricia Brennan, who was also one of the first 100 female officers. “I kept thinking, are they

going to understand me when I need help?”

Rush was stuck with the worst supervisor of all, Brennan said.

Rush and another of the original female officers landed in his squad, but the other officer was fired almost immediately for cowardice.

“I dealt with him once every three months,” Brennan said, “and every opportunity he gave me the worst assignment and the worst radio. Maureen was dealing with that every night of the week.”

In a 1988 local news series called “Lady Law” that revisited the first 100 female officers, former mayor Frank Rizzo explained why he was initially opposed to women on the force.

“Our primary objective was their safety,” he said. “It’s almost combat out there.”

But the officers had a different perception.

Rush was placed in the 25th District in North Philadelphia, responding to about 45 calls each shift, she said. Following her face-off in the drug store, “the police commissioner was upset I didn’t get killed, because he thought that would make the rest of us run away like little girls.”

There were other ways that women bore the burdens of foot patrol. While seasoned officers wore their leather jackets on duty to brace the winter weather, the rookies in 1976 had no coats.

“I caught myself crying and those tears just froze on my cheeks, it was so cold,” female officer Lee Gibson recalled in the “Lady Law” series.

After the Department of Justice sued Philadelphia for discrimination, the officers each earned a thin layer to wear over their uniforms. No hats, earmuffs or scarves allowed. No taking cover in phone booths or police cars either.

“It was a great way to become a cop,” Rush said. “If you’re going to survive in a situation where people are trying to make you fail, either say ‘I’m not doing this’ or find a way to make it work.”

Fortunately, Rush said, some people had compassion for that first class of female officers. Before long, residents in Rush’s district invited her into their homes for dinner, people passing her on the street offered her sweaters on cold nights and the local Fire Department offered her a seat at every holiday meal.

“Women shouldn’t take for granted that this opportunity to be a police officer was always there for them,” Rush said. “I am adamant that people should remember who paid it forward to get them there.”

Climbing the ladder Rush’s 38-year journey from patrol officer to vice president for public safety has taken turns she didn’t expect. As she worked her way from one division to the next in the Philadelphia Police Department, she set her eyes on the commissioner’s office. Years later, her ambition would guide her to a new destination atop Penn’s public safety division, where she amassed an unprecedented amount of money and resources.

Rush’s jump up from patrol

officer came under a new and more welcoming police commissioner who finally allowed women to pursue other responsibilities. That’s when Rush joined the Anti-Crime Team as a plainclothes officer to take down robbers and burglars.

“I used to say the only wardrobe I had back then were jeans and Reebok sneakers,” Rush said.

Her partner — a veteran male officer — would drive the car up to suspected criminals and Rush would jump out and chase them down.

In 1985, Rush volunteered to be a decoy after a string of robberies, giving her the chance to live out her decoy dream. But it didn’t work out as she had imagined.

“I dressed up as a hooker, I dressed up as a doctor, I dressed up as a businesswoman. I was in alleys and always compromised.

No one would rob me,” Rush said. “They could sense that I had been a cop for nine years. So I failed as a decoy, the original reason I wanted to be a cop.”

Rush only lasted in the position for a month, but the setback was minimal. She managed to climb the promotional ladder from officer to sergeant to lieutenant over her 18 years on the force.

She jumped from the Patrol Division to the Anti-Crime Unit to the Traffic Division to the Narcotics Unit to the Training Bureau, taking down one criminal at a time.

As Rush looked ahead to her next promotion in 1994, she got word of an opening in Penn’s Division of Public Safety for a new director of Special Services — the department that provides victim support.

“I decided what the heck, I’ll see what happens,” Rush said. “It was a very political position. I did 13 interviews, one after another after another. Then by the 10th interview, I really wanted the job.

It was a huge jump because before I wanted to go all the way up to police commissioner.”

Rush’s ambition has served her well since coming to Penn. During her 20 years at DPS, she rose in rank to chief of police before taking on her current position — one that Penn offered to her only after conducting a national search for the best candidate.

Despite spending her first year at DPS wishing she could return to the high life on the streets of Philadelphia, Rush later realized the advantages of working in a smaller, more focused division, one suitable for her life-long determination.

“Even if I was a captain or even if I was the police commissioner in Philadelphia, it would still be way harder to get anything done in Philly Police,” Rush said. “The Division of Public Safety is not as bureaucratic as the city government.”

The wall to the right featured framed pictures of the University. The wall to the left displayed DPS’ mission statement in oversized letters.

COURTESY OF THE DIVISION OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Maureen Rush, Vice President of the Division of Public Safety, as a rookie police officer on field training at the 3rd district.

The lieutenants and sergeants were gathered for DPS’ monthly meeting in one of the division’s biggest rooms at the 4040 Chestnut St. headquarters. Rush sat in the middle of the main table taking notes on her iPad, listening to supervisors discuss the monthly crime report. Robberies were down, but bike thefts were up.

She interjected.

“You’re all doing a hell of a job,” Rush said. “I’ll take bicycle thefts over robberies any day.”

DPS functions as a miniature version of a citywide police force, instituting the same monthly meetings among police supervisors that can be found in police headquarters around the country.

The meetings serve to bring the main players throughout the division together to coordinate.

“What I love about my job is that it’s so diverse,” Rush said.

“What’s on your calendar every morning — if you think for a second that’s what you’re doing today, you’ll be a fool.”

As the CEO of DPS, Rush manages Penn’s law enforcement, emergency preparedness and security technology. She handles a $22 million budget spent over eight departments totaling 176 employees and about 550 security contractors. Penn Police is equipped with a SWAT team equivalent and a K-9 Unit.

“Maureen has built an empire here,” Brennan said. “When I started out at the Division of Public Safety, we had 50 officers. Now we have 116. She built a human wall, made of human resources to protect the community.”

“Now we’re a little oasis in the middle of a crime-ridden city.”

Rush was a leading proponent of the expansion of DPS, spending her early years developing strategies to reduce high crime rates on campus.

In September 1996, the year Rush became chief of police, College senior Patrick Leroy was shot and killed near 40th and Spruce streets in the crossfire of an armed robbery. On Halloween that same year, 38-year-old School of Medicine research associate Vladimir Sled was stabbed to death while protecting his wife from a purse snatch on the 4300 block of Larchwood Avenue.

At the time of Sled’s murder, Rush’s boss was away on business. Rush filled his shoes, meeting with former Executive Vice President John Fry the next day to scope out the locations for new AlliedBarton guards, the contract security officers who secure cam-

pus. Since then, the number of guards has risen to approximately 550.

Over the years, Rush has recruited many of her best colleagues from Philadelphia Police to Penn, including Brennan, who was a member of the elite Philadelphia homicide division.

Rush was a proponent of former President Judith Rodin’s West Philadelphia Initiatives to reduce campus crime, which included buying out retail and residential space near campus to create a buffer zone between Penn students and potentially dangerous West Philadelphia neighborhoods.

“We have alums come back and they can’t get over what’s transpired since they left,” Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli said. “[Rush] has just been a big part of the renaissance and the momentum of Penn over the last 20 years.”

Security Magazine has ranked Penn number one in the higher education sector on the “Security 500” list over the past six years.

Rush travels the country lecturing on urban law enforcement and the interaction between college campuses and their surrounding communities.

Despite the notion that a larger police force could lead to more opportunity for abuse of authority, Rush brings in Penn faculty members to train her officers on how to engage with sensitive populations, including those of different genders, sexualities and religions.

Here, another aspect of Rush’s life informs her approach: She’s

gay.

“If you were different, it wasn’t a good time in the ’70s,” Rush said. “You wouldn’t be putting rainbow colors up as you drove into the police district.”

“So when we talk about prejudice” — she paused — “I get it.”

Rush pointed her thumbs at her chest. “I’ve been there as a double minority.”

Perhaps the biggest test of Rush’s diversity trainings came after the terrorist attacks of Sept.

11, 2001. Students with Muslim backgrounds began to fear retaliation from law enforcement — but the fear was directed at Philadelphia Police, not Penn Police, said William Gipson, the associate provost for equity and access.

“I give Maureen Rush credit for creating the kind of atmosphere on campus where Muslim, Jewish and other students felt safe at a time when the whole country understandably was very frightened,” Gipson said. “Tough as nails, Philly woman, but with a heart of gold. That’s Maureen Rush.”

When a colleague in Penn’s Human Resources department died suddenly, Rush arranged the music for the funeral herself. One of her favorite free-time activities is playing drums and singing in her classic rock band — called House — led by Penn psychiatry professor Anthony Rostain, who chairs Penn’s mental health task force.

In addition to her signature ambition, colleagues and friends cite Rush’s empathy and concern for others as her most laudable personality traits.

UA to hold special election

THIS WEEK IN HIGHER EDUCATION HARVARD

Reporting by Bookyung Jo

Harvard is collaborating with peer universities to create a new application platform.

“We are always interested in new initiatives that encourage promising students to apply to college, and we have been part of the discussions about a third way that students could potentially apply,” Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William Fitzsimmons said to The Harvard Crimson.

Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth are also working on the new application. Harvard currently accepts its applications through the Common Application and the Universal College Application. The system could go live as early as Aug. 2015.

COLUMBIA

Columbia University is funding selected professors to redesign their courses to integrate technologies such as social media, audiovisual content and real-time feedback systems.

“A key goal of this fund is to measure the effectiveness of these designs, delivery methods, and learning strategies, and to improve instructional delivery and learning outcomes of Columbia University students from all disciplines,” according to the provost's website.

YALE

More than 73 percent of recently-graduated Yalies currently have either a full-time or part-time job. Thirty-eight percent of the respondents said that their jobs are not related to the undergraduate degree they received from Yale.

The Nominations and Election Committee is holding special elections for a new Undergraduate Assembly representative.

The UA is currently short by one College representative, and there is no runner-up from the original elections cycle to take the open place.

Earlier this year, one UA College representative stepped down, and one was removed from the body for failing to attend enough meetings. After UA representative and College

sophomore Alid Castano stepped down earlier in the year, the next highest vote getter, College sophomore Taha Tariq — who was also the only College student to run for the UA and not be elected — replaced Castano.

Because Tariq already replaced Castano, the UA must hold a special election to fill the spot of removed representative and College sophomore Kendall Finlay.

To publicize the elections, the NEC sent out emails to each undergraduate class. The monetary campaigning period will begin on Nov. 17.

Apart from the university itself, common employers were Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Bain and Company and Microsoft.

More than three-fourths of the 2014 graduates said that they are living in New York, Connecticut, California, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.

FOOTBALL | Penn loses close battle for third straight defeat

BY STEVEN TYDINGS Senior Sports Editor

THOMAS MUNSON/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

It was a frustrating game for coach Al Bagnoli as mutliple calls didn’t go the Quakers way. Penn didn’t do itself any favors in the early going, failing to score on two early red zone opportunities, including a key turnover at Princeton’s two yard line. The Red and Blue have lost all five of their road games this year, including three in Ivy play.

Men’s soccer’s Ivy hopes dashed at Princeton The Quakers fall out of title contention with close defeat

BY JACOB ADLER Staff Writer

IAN WENIK

PRINCETON — With around five and a half minutes left to play in Penn football’s brawl with Princeton, wide receiver Spencer Kulcsar made a catch on a drag route, juked back and fell down at the first down marker, seemingly keeping a potential game-winning drive alive on fourth down and six.

Only the officials disagreed.

Kulcsar was marked just chain links shy of the Princeton 27, giving the Tigers a chance to run out the clock that they eagerly seized.

It was the last close call that went against Penn that afternoon in a 22-17 loss, but it was far from the first.

In a game where the Quakers were down to the very last reserves on their 62-man travel roster — there were at least eight stoppages for Penn injuries — the Red and Blue’s much-maligned secondary had its biggest plays of the year wiped away.

With the Quakers behind just

PRINCETON — Penn football just can’t seem to catch a break.

After losing consecutive Ivy games to Yale and Brown, the Quakers came to New Jersey with an upset on their minds, but came up just short, falling to Princeton, 22-17.

“I commend our kids,” said coach Al Bagnoli, who coached his third-to-last game. “They played their tails off. They deserved a better fate. I don’t say this very often, but I thought that game was stolen from us.”

The Red and Blue (1-7, 1-4 Ivy) had key calls go against them, including a pass interference that led to three late points and an interception that was questionably ruled incomplete.

But the key play of the game came with just over five minutes left and Penn down by five. On a fourth and six at Princeton’s 27-yard-line, sophomore quarterback Alek Torgersen hit senior receiver Spencer Kulcsar over the middle but couldn’t pick up the first down deep in Princeton territory. From there, the Tigers ran out the clock on one final drive.

Due to injuries on defense that mounted up during the game, it was a no-brainer for Bagnoli to go for it on fourth.

“I recognize who we had playing on defense,” he said.

“The best opportunity was for us to go for it. We came with

two defensive linemen who were already hurt and two more got hurt during the game.”

At the start, the Red and Blue fell behind early despite some strong drives on offense. Torgersen led the Quakers into the red zone on their first drive, but a sack and a missed field goal by junior Jimmy Gammill led to no points.

Princeton (5-3, 4-1) responded with a field goal, yet Penn used a wide-receiver pass by senior Conner Scott to fellow senior receiver Eric Fiore to march into Princeton territory.

However, disaster struck as sophomore run-and-gun quarterback Adam Strouss fumbled on first and goal. The Tigers’ Dorian Williams brought the ball all the way to Penn’s nine yard line, which led to another field goal.

Princeton would lead 12-0 before long as senior quarterbacks Quinn Epperly and Connor Michelsen drove Princeton down for a one-yard Epperly touchdown run.

The teams exchanged touchdowns shortly thereafter, with Torgersen finding Scott and Epperly finding Princeton’s Connor Kelley for five-yard scores, making it 19-7 Princeton. Penn added a field goal before halftime, leaving down 19-10.

In the third quarter, Penn’s defense played one of its best quarters all year. Senior captain Evan Jackson forced a fumble on Princeton’s first drive. The Red and Blue capitalized offensively with a highlight-reel one-handed touchdown grab by

MICHELE OZER/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Sophomore forward Alec Neumann helped keep Penn in the match against Princeton, scoring two goals that each brought the Quakers within one score. But that is as close as the Red and Blue would get in a loss that ended Penn’s Ivy title chances.

Tigers expanded their lead to 2-0.

The Quakers fought back and cut the lead to 2-1 in the 31st minute when sophomore forward Alec Neumann took advantage of Duke Lacroix’s shot ricocheting off Princeton goalkeeper Ben Hummel for his seventh goal of the season.

Later in the first half, Princeton’s Nico Hurtado logged his second goal of the year in the 42nd minute, but Neumann and the Quakers came right back.

It appears a repeat is not in order.

Penn men’s soccer fell Saturday night to Princeton, 3-2, extending the Quakers’ winless streak to four games. The Quakers, the 2013 Ivy League champions, were eliminated from contention for the Ancient Eight title with the loss.

Princeton (10-3-3, 4-1-1 Ivy) jumped out to an early lead over the Quakers (6-82, 2-2-2). Cameron Porter notched his 14th goal of the season in the seventh minute, assisted by Brendan McSherry and Myles McGinley.

Despite a 2-0 lead at half, coach Darren Ambrose knew there was still a lot of game to be played.

“We knew at halftime that it wasn’t over,” he said. “Princeton is too talented. They have got too many attacking players. We figured we would see more from them, and we did.”

eton at the half.

“I thought it was certainly a resilient performance,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “To give up those goals early, it was a good response … It was certainly an enjoyable game for the spectators to watch.”

Both teams made halftime adjustments, and the second half was dramatically different than the first.

“It ended up a stalemate in the second half, and we weren’t able to find the third goal,” Fuller said.

After five goals in the first half, there were five yellow cards in the second, and all were squeezed into a span just longer than seven minutes. Freshman back Sam Wancowicz was issued his in the 51st minute for stepping into a tackle, and Neumann and Princeton’s Josh Miller were both given yellows after a collision in the 55th minute.

Penn junior midfielder Forrest Clancy and the Tigers’ McGin-

ley were each tagged with yellows for separate violations in the 58th minute.

“I think the referees did a good job keeping the game under control,” Fuller said. “I never felt like the game got out of control. It was just a competitive Ivy League match. There were some tackles that deserved yellows, but the referees were on top of it.”

In the end, Penn was unable to find an equalizer and fell to the Tigers. The Quakers are now in a tie for fourth place and will not make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament.

The Red and Blue will end their season at home against Harvard next Saturday, in what will be Senior Night for the Quakers, as they send off their five graduating seniors. Despite the Quakers’ elimination, Fuller said they will continue to use the same approach they have all season.

“We’re going to try to send our seniors off on a high note.

They don’t deserve anything less.”

Navy edges out Penn rowing In all-freshman event, Quakers arrive in third place

By OSCAR RUDENSTAM Staff Writer If Penn rowing was looking for motivation heading into the winter, it certainly found it this Saturday.

While the freshmen of Penn heavyweight rowing put up a commendable effort, the Rutgers Fall Classic was all about Navy, whose combined heavyweight and lightweight boats edged out the Red and Blue.

The event was exclusively for freshmen and also used a unique format, combining times of two boats to measure

team results in a head race.

Under this format, as opposed to relying solely upon one fast boat, crews had to assemble two even boats to achieve a high degree of depth, or evenness.

This fall, after a series of promising results for Penn — including a victory over Navy at the Navy Day Regatta — things looked promising for the Rutgers Fall Classic.

As in any great rivalry, victories must come from both sides. On Saturday, it was Navy’s time to get back at Penn.

Like last year, the Navy freshman heavies picked up first place in the eights race with a comfortable, nearly one minute lead. Remarkably, the combined times of two Navy

lightweight boats earned them second place, and behind them by just a mere second, the Penn heavyweights came in at third.

“It was a disappointing finish to the fall season,” said assistant coach Drew Baustian, who has been working with the freshmen oarsmen throughout the fall season after joining Penn earlier this year.

Last year, the Penn freshman heavies trailed the Navy heavies by a combined 31 seconds and took second place.

While Penn was not represented by any lightweights, it did have a third boat in the race. Penn’s final crew finished among the last boats.

For the two main boats,

however, it was not all gloom, as they still managed to overcome the likes of Bucknell, Lehigh and Georgetown without much difficulty. The hosts, Rutgers, finished dead last, coming in with a combined time about four minutes behind that of the winning Navy heavies.

In terms of individual boat times, the two leading Penn boats finished fourth and fifth respectively, something which indicates significant depth and a good sign for the future.

On Saturday, however, it was not enough to overcome Navy. Nevertheless, the Quakers are trying to look ahead towards winter training.

“I’m hoping this serves as a motivator,” Baustian said.

And after that, spring is just around the corner.

Penn drops heartbreaker at Princeton

ISABELLA GONG/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

On a disappointing day, freshman Alexa Hoover provided a bright spot, scoring on a penalty shot to clinch the Ivy League goal-scoring title.

SPORTS | Quakers come up short in backand-forth contest

AT PRINCETON

BY TOM NOWLAN Associate Sports Editor

Midway through the first half, Penn junior attack Elizabeth Hitti gave the Quakers (8-9, 3-4) their only lead, blasting a Emily Corcoran feed into the left corner for a 2-1 advantage. The goal was Hitti’s eighth of the season, good for third on the team.

However, just seven seconds before halftime, the Tigers found the back of the net for the second time as junior Teresa Benvenuti beat the buzzer on a Sydney Kirby pass to tie things up.

Princeton senior Allison Evans gave the Tigers a 3-2 lead shortly after halftime, a score that held for nearly 20 minutes.

However, Penn was awarded a penalty stroke with 15 minutes remaining, and freshman sensation Alexa Hoover cashed it in to even the score.

In many ways, Saturday’s game was a microcosm of Penn field hockey’s season.

The Quakers battled down to the wire with a high-powered Princeton squad, only to drop a heartbreaker, 4-3.

With the victory coupled with Dartmouth’s loss at Harvard, the Tigers (7-10, 6-1 Ivy) clinched their 10th straight Ivy League title.

The game was close almost all the way, as neither team ever led by more than one goal. Princeton’s Hailey Reeves got the scoring started nine minutes into the game, but Penn senior Alex Iqbal responded just two minutes later to knot the score at one.

MONDAY, NOV. 10 - FRIDAY, NOV. 14

The tally was Hoover’s 14th of the season, giving her the Ivy League’s outright goal-scoring title. Hoover had gone into Saturday in a three-way tie for the honor with Zoe Blake of Columbia and Marisa Siergiej of Cornell, neither of whom scored in their final games of the season.

However, the Quakers’ momentum was halted by Princeton junior Maddie Copeland, who scored the game winner with nine minutes remaining.

Needing a victory and a Columbia loss to clinch the conference title, the Tigers got both, as their decade-long reign over the Ancient Eight continues.

Penn’s seemingly mediocre 3-4 Ivy record belies the number of extremely close losses the Red and Blue have suffered against high-level competition this year.

The Quakers dropped a 1-0 nailbiter at Cornell on Sept. 20 and a 4-3 overtime home loss to Columbia on Oct. 18 in addition to Saturday’s squeaker in Princeton.

Theoretically, the Quakers could easily have been 6-1 in conference play and in contention for an Ivy League title had things played out differently. As it is, Penn will finish the season tied with Dartmouth for fifth place.

The Red and Blue will lose several key pieces to graduation, including Corcoran, Iqbal, standout midfielder MaryRose Croddick and goalkeeper Allison Weisenfels.

However, the team looks to be strong in 2015, as they will bring back the versatile Hitti, sophomore midfielder Elise Tilton and the phenomenal Hoover. Hitti tied for the team lead with eight assists, while Tilton chipped in four goals.

The 2014 season was full of missed opportunities and whatifs, but the resilient squad, led by head coach Colleen Fink, will undoubtedly have the star power to be in the thick of Ivy contention next year.

After all, September will be here before we know it.

19-17 midway through the third quarter, Evan Jackson made a diving interception that would have given Penn the ball deep in Princeton territory. The referees ruled that the ball hit the ground for an incomplete pass, even though TV replays suggested otherwise.

Facing the same deficit midway through the fourth quarter, senior corner Dan Wilk was flagged for a phantom pass interference call that enabled the Tigers to drive down for a chip-shot field goal. Coach Al Bagnoli received no clear explanation. “One guy said [Wilk] couldn’t extend his arm, one guy said he dove with two hands and extended it,� the veteran coach said.

Perhaps most embarrassingly, the referees gave Princeton five downs in a row in a miscommunication following a botched snap that moved the Tigers back to midfield late in the third quarter.

But the biggest mistakes that led to Penn’s undoing ultimately lie at the feet of the Red and Blue themselves.

Sophomore quarterback Alek Torgersen had one of the best games of his career, completing 40 of 61 passes for 349 yards and two scores,

my Gammill missed a makable 43yard field goal on Penn’s first drive of the game. Jackson let what would have been an interception in the end zone bounce off his hands on Princeton’s final scoring drive.

And, worst of all, the Quakers managed to squander a first and goal from the two-yard line on their second possession. Run-and-gun quarterback Adam Strouss fumbled twice on a rollout to the left, leading

freshman wide receiver Justin Watson, his second score in as many games.

However, after the early score, neither squad could break free offensively. Each defense held tough, stalling the opposition with key sacks or strong coverage in the secondary, as Penn’s secondary stood

tall against Princeton’s senior quarterbacks. “We really focused on getting back to the basics this week and being sound,� defensive back Jackson said. “That offense is a lot of trickery so we really had to hone in this week.�

Late in the third, Jackson thought he had an interception after Michelsen was hit after throwing.

However, the pass was ruled in-

complete despite replays on NBCSN that showed otherwise, leading Penn to accept a holding call while Princeton kept possession.

But after a questionable pass interference call in the early fourth quarter, Princeton drove for a field goal, letting the Tigers take a 22-17 lead.

Penn drove down with one of its most inspired drives of the game as Torgersen completed eight passes.

The last pass went to Kulcsar, who set a school record for receptions in one game with 16, but couldn’t pick up the first down. The Tigers’ senior running backs, DiAndre Atwater and Will Powers, finished things off from there.

Penn now has two games left in its season and in coach Bagnoli’s career. The Quakers’ final home game is against Harvard on Nov. 15.

gers were able to cut into the lead early in the half.

Terilli had a strong performance though, including a few leaping saves that kept the Quakers in the match.

However, with Penn holding a

2-1 lead with less than five minutes remaining, Princeton’s Beth Stella sent a ball off the crossbar, which bounced down into the goal, tying the game at two.

But Penn was not looking to play overtime. With less than two

minutes remaining, Terilli punted the ball downfield where the Red and the Blue gained possession and quickly moved towards the goal. Sophomore midfielder Lindsey Sawczuk passed the ball to Midgley, who sent a left-footed shot rolling past the diving Princeton goalie in heroic fashion.

Midgley was then mobbed and tackled on the field by a swarm of excited teammates.

Ambrose could not have been more proud of his team. “This is what we have been waiting for from this team for so long — to see some maturity, to see some fight, some consistency,� he said. “And I’m really proud of them because they showed what they can do when they really decide to battle. It takes a special game like this. It is a great place to play, and it’s a fantastic rivalry.�

The Quakers had not won on Princeton’s field since 1998, before Ambrose took the coaching position. “I am absolutely ecstatic for them,� Ambrose said of his seniors. “They have been great servants to the program. As a coach, you want them to leave with great moments and great memories and what a way to finish your career at your archrival. All the girls have given so much.�

An emotional Midgley echoed

to an 85-yard return by Tigers cornerback Dorian Williams that set up a field goal. “It was a big play,� said Bagnoli, perhaps the understatement of the afternoon.

Penn’s disastrous sequence in the red zone resulted in a 10-point swing, and forced the offense to play from behind the rest of the way as the Tigers teed off on Torgersen.

To be sure, the Quakers fought hard. It was undoubtedly their best defensive effort of the season. And the connections that Torgersen has been able to build with Kulcsar (16 catches) and Justin Watson (touchdowns in two straight weeks) make Penn’s offense a force to be reckoned with when it’s firing on all cylinders.

Bad calls or not, the Red and Blue had a chance to come into Princeton and deal their biggest rival a seasonkilling loss on national television.

By all accounts, they could have — and should have — won.

But they didn’t, and that’s the fact that will haunt them more than anything else.

but also served up two picks with the Quakers trailing.

It’s no surprise that Torgersen was forced to throw 61 times, though: The running game managed to backslide even further from last week’s 23-carry, 37yard debacle against Brown. This time, the Red and Blue carried the ball 26 times for six yards. No, that is not a typo.
