CHAC’s changes come after low attendance at new workshops EUNICE LIM Staff Writer

The Civic House Associates Coalition, an umbrella organization for community service groups on campus, plans to restructure the way it governs next semester in a move aimed to address issues with the current system.

CHAC plans to dissolve its student executive board and instead set up a “Working Group for Leadership and Engagement,” which will collaborate to reflect on Civic House’s current leadership and programming structure and re-envision a future programming structure.

What first brings Penn into the minds of prospective students?

BOOKYUNG JO Staff Writer

Every day, hundreds of students and parents flock in and out of Irvine Auditorium to go on a campus tour. As visitors huddle around Benjamin Franklin’s statue in front of College Hall listening to tour guides, they are trying to figure out whether this is the place for them.

And in a month, a new group of those prospective students will get their acceptance let-

ters after the early decision round.

President Amy Gutmann has said that engagement is what makes Penn a desirable place. At Convocation this year, she told the freshman class that Penn’s vision is “to engage what we know and engage what we do to create a better world.” Dean of Admissions Eric Furda has said that the all-grant,

no-loan policy is something that makes Penn special. But what do prospective students see in the school?

“I’m doing a college tour to schools that have good lacrosse teams,” Alex Nicoletti, a high school sophomore from Colorado said. Penn is in her consideration pool along with Princeton and Georgetown universities and Boston College.

As an NCAA Division I school, Penn has 16 men’s athletic teams and 15 women’s teams. Women’s lacrosse, the team Nicoletti is interested in, currently stands as the best among Ivy League schools. “For athletes, we have to commit to schools early, so I’m doing my college tour relatively

The stakes of last Tuesday’s election were high: Would Republican Tom Corbett remain governor despite broad criticism of his policies? Or would Tom Wolf, his Democratic challenger, become the new top “Tom” in town?

But even with the high stakes, low voter turnout in Philadelphia and at polling stations near Penn indicated that a large number of people didn’t really care.

Philadelphia saw a historically low turnout of only about 36 percent of registered voters — the lowest citywide turnout in a Pennsylvania governor’s race since 1998. Polling locations at Penn saw a 23 percent decrease in the number of vot-

Voter turn out for Nov. 4 69 election for polling divisions on campus ANALYN DELOS SANTOS/NEWS DESIGN EDITOR

One in 68 children in the United States are currently diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder — yet, those with autism are continually disadvantaged when it comes to resources that many take for granted, such as education.

At a Penn Speaks for Autism event Monday night, Director of Disabilities Rights at the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia Sonja Kerr spoke about the difficulties that people with autism and their families face.

Kerr has litigated cases in nine different states and is known for her staunch advocacy for those with disabilities.

“Children with autism CAN learn. Adults with autism can work,” Kerr said.

In her presentation, titled “Autism — Life and the Law,” Kerr highlighted a major problem that those with autism face: There is a misconception that they are intellectually impaired. In actuality, about half of those with ASD have an IQ at or above the average level of all Americans, Kerr said.

This false belief leads to many with autism being excluded from the resources that would afford them the best quality of life.

But, Kerr said, there is a great source of hope SEE AUTISM PAGE 5

ers as compared to the last gubernatorial election, according to the most recent data available from the city.

Though local political leaders offer different reasons for Penn’s low turnout, all emphasize that college students — and, specifically, Penn students — are simply less likely to vote in elections that do not have strong national implications.

“It’s just a matter of demographics,” said Carol Jenkins, the Democratic leader of the 27th Ward, which includes Penn’s campus. “Most students are not from Pennsylvania or Philadelphia, so there is not much interest in local or state elections.”

Since Penn students tend to be only temporary residents of Philadelphia, “there is a limit to how much you can get them to care,” said Matthew Wolfe, the Republican leader of the 27th Ward.

Voter turnout on campus has been steadily declining in midterm elections for years. While Penn had a turnout of 1,460 students in 2010 and 1,520 students in 2006, only about 1,113 people cast ballots in last week’s election at polling stations on campus.

Sean Foley, the political director of Penn Democrats, sees the relatively lower turnout as logical since Tuesday’s election lacked the national impact that the 2006 and 2010 elections had. Though

early,” she said.

Penn recently received a lot of attention online as it was rankedthe top party school in the nationby Playboy Magazine and as the top university with the most billionaire alumni by Wealth-X and UBS. All four students interviewed for this articlesaid that are awareof the recent media attention, but did not think it was an important factor in their college search.

“We pay attention, but not too much,” Sean Ray, a high school junior from New Jersey, said.

Ray said that although he is

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM Tuesday’s election had a national congressional race, the past two midterm elections included competitive Senate races with more significance to national politics.

“In 2006 especially, it was a big Democratic wave election on top of the gubernatorial election,” Foley said. “Since Democrats won back the Senate and House, Penn students were more excited about this election, especially because Penn students tend to be more Democratic.”

Even on a local scale, last Tuesday’s election did not offer much competitive excitement.

“Polls showed a 10 to 15 point lead for the governor’s race, so I would guess that there would be more voter interest on campus had it been a tighter race,” said Laura Thornton, the assistant director of the Fox Leadership Program, which funds and advises students from Penn Leads the Vote.

While Tuesday’s midterm elections lacked national significance and the enthusiasm of a close race, the low turnout is still seen as surprising, since controversial policies of gubernatorial candidates were expected to rouse voters.

As Philadelphia public schools have struggled to stay open with the current budget, Corbett has received widespread criticism regarding cuts to education funding. Jenkins said she had expected more people to “come out to vote Corbett out of office.”

“I think [declining turnout] is

just a general trend since there’s no reason why more people didn’t come out in an election with an unpopular governor with policies that were repulsive to a lot of people,” Jenkins added.

Foley also thought the issue of Philadelphia education would drive more Penn students to vote.

Though local education usually isn’t the most important issue for college students, “the current state of Philadelphia schools has been hard to ignore, and Wolf’s plan to increase funding was real and tangible to Penn students,” he said.

Even with provocative issues, there might have been low voter turnout because the gubernatorial candidates failed to generate enough enthusiasm.

“Governor Corbett was weak on messaging and didn’t talk about the results he was getting, such as the decreased unemployment connected to his tax cuts,” Wolfe said.

“On the other hand, Tom Wolf basically bought the Democratic primary and won from name recognition, so there was no real excitement for him either.”

But no matter what issues or candidates are included in the election, Penn’s student demographic is seen as a permanent obstacle to increasing voter turnout in the district.

“By definition of what a Penn student looks like,” Jenkins said, “there isn’t the motivation or incentive for Penn students now to come out to make the difference.”

still in the stage of “getting to know” different colleges, Penn’s strong undergraduate business program drew a lot of attention. ”It’s the best business school in the States,” Agatha Otero, a student from Illinois, said of Wharton. “I looked at the rankings and percentages of people who get good jobs after graduation.”

Otero currently attends a community college, but Wharton made her want to transfer to Penn.

She said she is also excited about the study abroad programs, which allow her to live in another country and still get credit for classes.

Carina Lindrooth, a high school junior from Pennsylvania, just started her college search, and the close distance from her home is an important factor that made her consider Penn.

“Also, I looked at Naviance and saw that Penn matched with me,” she said. Naviance is a college and career readiness software that assists college search and shows each high school’s applicant history and their admission results.

In addition to the closeness and her compatibility with the school, Lindrooth said her academic advisor is a Penn graduate, affecting her interest as well.

NATIONAL DISTANCE LEARNING WEEK

Not all classes take place within four walls. Penn offers many that take place within a screen.

Penn’s Arts and Sciences Online Learning office is celebrating National Distance Learning Week with events to promote its online course infrastructure. The events aim to educate the Penn community about online learning and encourage faculty involvement.

Events this week include an open house, panels featuring Penn professors who teach online courses and discussions about the new education platform. The panels will be available online as webinars and one of them will take place in the Active Learning Classroom in the ARCH building.

At Penn, the development of online and interactive education is based in the Arts and Sciences Online Learning office, which works with professors, undergraduates and graduate students to facilitate digital learning that is free and open to the world. Penn offers for-credit courses online and massive open online courses. The University also partners with Coursera — an online education platform that offers free online courses to the public.

Director of Digital Learning Initiatives and Online Pedagogies for Online Learning Benjamin Wiggins noted that developing online learning allows Penn to expand access and flexibility to education to places all around the world by enabling students to take courses at home, abroad and at any time that they wish.

Penn offers the most online courses on Coursera among the partnering institutions, Wiggins said.

Economics Professor Rebecca Stein offers classes on Coursera.

“Online tools should enhance learning by allowing clear twoway communication and by expanding opportunities for collaborative work,” she said in an email.

Stein will speak at a panel on Friday about how her online experience is creating changes in her live courses.

The Arts and Sciences Online Learning office builds new courses in its in-house recording studio, complete with a green screen and all the necessary videography equipment, as well as personnel such as animators, videographers and editors. They are currently hoping to develop systems that would help students navigate

and work with a broader selection of courses.

Penn students are also involved in the process. The Arts and Sciences Online Learning team houses five student workers, who assist the team in video-editing and lighting for shoots and contribute input to the actual course-building process.

A VET-TED MIND | A Veteran’s Day call to action

N

ormandy, Iwo Jima, Pusan, Khe Sanh, Fallujah, Kamdesh.

For some, these names might not mean much. Maybe they have seen them in history books or have heard the names before.

Yet for those who fought, those names and many others are forever branded in their memories.

They recall the desperation and the sounds of battle, and most of all, those they fought beside.

It is a brotherhood that runs deeper than any fraternity, one that traverses time and location.

It is a bond forged in blood and fire.

Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day — the day when fighting ceased in World War I — was first proclaimed in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson with these words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who

died in the countries service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.”

Whereas Memorial Day is a day set aside for us to remember those who died in service to the country, Veterans Day is to commemorate those who saw ends to their respective wars.

Except that the war is never truly over. There are some of us who bring the fighting back with us. There are others who never saw combat, but they are still a part of the veteran family.

After our time in the military, we go on to attempt to find our ways in the civilian world. For many, myself included, this means attending college. According to the Department of Education, 4 percent of college students are veterans. The Stu-

dent Veterans of America association projects this number to double over the next five years.

Studies have shown that veteran students can thrive in a u nive rsit y setting, but only if their unique needs are met.”

While one would think that years of experience would help veterans in the transition to college life, the truth is it’s a difficult path. One of the most common remarks made by veterans is a feeling of isolation. We go from spending our whole time in the military being part of a team, to being left alone to essentially figure things out on our own. While there are a

plethora of student groups at Penn, there’s always a feeling of estrangement when interacting with non-veterans. This can be exasperated when asked seemingly simple questions by other students: Did you ever kill someone? Do you have PTSD? Why did you join when we shouldn’t even have been there?

It wasn’t until recently that a student group for veterans — the University of Pennsylvania Student Veteran Association — was even formed. Now there is at least a way for veterans to get together and share their experiences with one another; a way to regain some of the camaraderie lost when we left the military.

Studies have shown that veteran students can thrive in a university setting, but only if their unique needs are met.

These include helping veterans connect with one another and training faculty and staff on challenges veterans face.

Some have physical disabilities or mental trauma. Some have families that they are trying to support whilst taking classes.

In fact, Kathy Snead, director of Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges, said that a campus veterans organization or office that helps service members feel more engaged in student life is one key indication of whether they will be academically successful. However, at Penn, veterans are the only federally protected class that currently has no devoted space or staff on campus.

The UPSVA currently has an online petition to rectify this at tinyurl.com/vet-petition. On behalf of my fellow veterans, I ask that you show your support for this proposal, whether you are a veteran or not. Having a strong resource center would help to make Penn the preeminent destination for veterans.

This would help to increase both the prestige of the school

ANOTHER LOOK | Blaming Penn culture for our problems denies our responsibility in

O

ver the past few months, various authors and journalists have written a lot about Ivy League students and how the American public really ought to be concerned about them. William Deresiewicz kicked this off in July with a piece in The New Republic that had a title inflammatory enough to give any conscientious bourgeois parent pause: “Don’t Send Your Kid to the Ivy League.”

Alice Robb attempted to reinvigorate the debate with a recent, more specific article lamenting — not without a gleeful touch of schadenfreude — the sad state of Penn culture in particular.

The narrative goes like this: We are all, at our most benign, helpless victims of a soulless, competitive, elite college culture. At our most threatening, we are ruthless perpetuators of this morally vacuous system — in it to win the highest paying jobs no matter what the personal cost.

It’s enough to frighten any self-reflective Penn freshman into wondering if she’s made the right choice, and a few years ago, it would have been enough to concern me.

Luckily enough, after three years of immersion in “Penn culture,” I have good news to share with any worried underclassmen or compassionate, concerned outsiders who’d like to hear it. I am, in fact, capable of occupying myself with activities that will never make it onto my resume, I

creating it

have never justified the time I’ve spent eating a meal with a friend by calling it networking and Fear Of Missing Sleep consistently trumps Fear Of Missing Out on my list of concerns.

Robb is right in pointing out that Penn brands itself as the “social Ivy,” and “work hard, play hard” is a motto any undergraduate would be hard-pressed to avoid hearing at least a few times in her four years at this school. She is right that this smacks of a kind of self-conscious bravado indicative, at least, of a mildly unhealthy attitude toward success. Indeed, part of me wants to jump on the bandwagon here and write a whole rant about the idiocy of resumestuffing and social hierarchies

ablejudgments and determine what we want out of life. The thing is, all of the unhealthy concerns that make up the negative side of what we call Penn’s culture are things we have the ability to buy into or not.

Even if there are people who believe “play hard” is an intelligible phrase, those people have a right to live their lives as they choose, and their lifestyle isn’t threatening mine — or yours, for that matter. The worst thing that can happen when you reject a part of Penn culture that you don’t like is that you won’t be invited to be a part of it. And in a school of 10,000 undergraduates, something tells me you’ll still have plenty of opportunity to make more suitable friends.

I am, in fact, capable of occupying myself with activities that will never make it onto my resume, I have never justified the time I’ve spent eating a meal with a friend by calling it networking and Fear of Missing Sleep consistently trumps Fear of Missing Out on my list of concerns.” and the pressure to obtain a post-graduation salary that will allow you to afford the rent on a Manhattan apartment.

But I’ve realized that complaining about these pressures would be an unflattering misrepresentation of my own and my peers’ abilities to think for ourselves and make valu-

My point is this: Not all hope is lost. As much as some people in the media would like to paint Penn students, or Ivy League students, or top-20 East Coast-school students as some kind of monolithic body with a collective psychiatric diagnosis, we are actually a disparate group of autonomous individuals. We are par-

SOPHIA WUSHANLEY ticipants in, not victims of, the social scene.

We can choose not to compare our internships to those of our friends. We can choose not to feel guilty about taking a day off studying and resume polishing. We can choose to be OK with the fact that we might not be pre-med or prelaw or OCR-ing. Placing total responsibility on Penn culture for the way we lead our lives is a lazy way of escaping responsibility for its negative aspects.

We create Penn culture, Penn culture doesn’t create us.

The “work hard, play hard” motto only affects you insofar as you try to live up to it.

You are free to be social in whatever informal way you please, and your values are no less a part of the makeup of the school than the ones you’d find advocated on a frat listserv.

e’ve lost 22 soldiers today, but not on a conventional battlefield. Instead, that is the number of United States military veterans that Veterans Affairs estimates die by suicide every day. Spread across an entire year, that equates to roughly 8,000 deaths. To put that into perspective, 6,639 servicemen and women have died in combat in the entire 13-year duration of the War on Terror.

It is important to note that it is not just recently deployed veterans who are suffering. A Harvard Law School study found that about 430 recently returned veterans committed suicide between 2001 and 2005 — just over 10 percent of all U.S. military casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan in that period. At the same time, the VA reports that about 70 percent of veteran suicides occur at the age of 50 or older. It is not enough to look at the effects of combat and posttraumatic stress disorder in the immediate aftermath of being deployed. This is a problem that warrants an examination of the long-term effects of combat, something that Congress has thus far failed to address.

In 2007, the Joshua Omvig

We celebrate both those who came home and those who did not on Veterans’ Day but do not seem to pay much attention to those who are still suffering.”

Veterans Suicide Prevention Act was introduced to help give the VA tools for education, research and treatment for veterans’ mental health issues, but failed to make it out of committee in the Senate. A later compromise led to the passage of similar legislation but removed language that would have allowed VA hospitals to track veterans who had come in for treatment but failed to continue with it. The Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act of 2007 and Veterans Mental Health Outreach and Access Act of 2007 both strove to further empower the VA, but focused only on veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This past summer also saw public outrage after problems within the VA were made public, culminating in the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. The massive failures

of VA hospitals around the country to deliver adequate care underscored the fact that more must be done to care for our veterans of all wars. The Veterans’ Access to Care through Choice, Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014, passed in response to the VA scandal, addresses mental health only three times — not once in the context of improving suicide prevention services — and fails to mention suicide at all.

At Penn, students and faculty have rightfully spoken out over the last year and a half to promote mental health and to prevent the loss of more friends and loved ones. But just as much as we need to come together as a community at Penn, we must realize that we are also part of a bigger community. It is not enough for us to work to create change only within our own bubble.

Fortunately, Penn is full of people willing to speak out against injustices and political decisions we don’t see eye to eye with. Too often, however, we overlook the human element of some of these larger political debates.

We celebrate both those who came home and those who did not on Veterans Day but do not seem to pay much attention to those who are still suffering.

I think today gives us an opportunity to not just talk about this issue, but to act. We can’t just speak about suicide at Penn; we must address it on a larger scale.

I can’t say that I have the ultimate solution or the best way to act, and I am in no way saying that we should overlook the effect that suicide is having outside of the military. But we are in some ways responsible for putting these men and women into the situations that have made PTSD a household term.

At the very least, we need to start talking about this. We are a university full of students who not only have a voice but also know how to use it. It seems to me that this is as good a time as any to do so.

If you or someone you know are dealing with mental health problems, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or reach out to the CAPS office here at Penn (215-898-7021).

New Jersey politics come to campus JESUS ALCOCER Contributing Writer

www.wehubmessenger.com

¨I encourage everyone to become involved in the political process. I just remind Republicans that voting day is always on Wednesday,¨ Democrat assemblyman Raj Mukherji said at an on-campus event Monday.

Mukherji represents New Jersey’s 33rd District, the state’s most densely populated and ethnically diverse district.

Mukherji founded a software company when he was in sixth grade, which he presided over until joining the Marine Corps at age 17, a few days after 9/11.

He returned to New Jersey to fund what became the thirdlargest lobbying firm in the state, and to a prestigious path in public service which has included a stint as deputy governor of Jersey City.

Mukherji’s comments were often accentuated by the lively laugh of the audience. He started by asking all audience members for their names and hometowns. ¨Lucy Lee, Indiana.¨ ¨I love your cakes, I really do.¨ ¨You three guys must be the Indian population of Orlando, Florida,¨ Mukherji said to a group of males sitting in a section for the Penn South Asian Students Association after they told him their hometowns.

The conversation quickly moved to Mukherji’s support of controversial governor and presidential hopeful Chris Christie. “I was the only Democrat to support Christie, and I did so because of his remarkable performance in his first

term,” Mukherji said. “But I am unwilling to support him on a national level.” Mukherji denied that he had any insider information on the Christie bridge scandal, and said that he would not predict the repercussions of the scandal on Christie’s political career.

Mukherji said that his own most important achievement was securing paid time-off standards that apply to all of New Jersey’s private employers. The bill entitled all employees to one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours of work. ¨I believe that families should not have to chose between economic stability and being cared for,¨ he said.

As a businessman and a representative of an urban district, Mukherji claimed to be close to business interests. “Despite the folklore around [Paid Time

Off], the bill has benefited — not burdened — businesses in the state by replacing an inefficient patchwork of similar and more stringent local regulations,” he said.

Mukherji said that he is currently pushing for legalizing sports betting in the state, which would bring a much-needed boost to its lagging game industry. ¨Casinos currently bring in $1 billion in taxes, a substantial portion of the $30 or $40 billion state budget, but their business is being sapped away by neighboring states.”

The assemblyman advised those interested in public service to “never let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” Bills are fleshed out and improved by the give-and-take process of politics, he said. Government, Mukaherji concluded, is the art of compromise.

CIVIC HOUSE >> PAGE 1

In past years, the CHAC executive board held three general body meetings annually for its 40 constituent groups and required those groups to report biweekly updates to CHAC executive liaisons. Last year, the executive board decided that the meetings were too impersonal and catered to topics that weren’t relevant to all of the groups present, and decided to switch to workshops that groups could choose to attend or not attend.

But “attendance was an issue” at the new workshops, said Amit Pujari, an Engineering senior and CHAC co-chair. “Groups weren’t getting the most out of our programming and Civic House’s presence was not as tangible.”

Civic House staff and the CHAC

executive board hope that the new working group will create better learning programs and support systems for member groups.

“My hope is that in the next year, students will know what Civic House is and what we do, and feel like this is a community they want to identify with,” Civic House Associate Director Megan Forman said.

Civic House Director David Grossman said that while the student leadership structure is changing, funding and support for member groups will remain the same.

“The changes that are happening are organic, and are in response to conditions on the ground,” Grossman said. “We are re-evaluating what our student groups and community partners really need. But current member groups will pretty much have all of the resources they

have gotten before.”

For members of CHAC constituent groups, the proposed changes are seen as helpful to making CHAC function more efficiently.

“CHAC’s updated structure for this upcoming semester won’t drastically impact the day to day operations of CSSP,” said college junior Filippo Bulgarelli, director of Community School Student Partnerships, a member group of CHAC. “While I very much appreciate the impact that CHAC’s workshops and events have had on me and my board in the past, and will certainly miss those opportunities, I believe that the opportunity for CHAC to rethink its structure will lead to a more effective CHAC.” Civic House is accepting applications for the working group until Nov. 19.

This week 17 years ago, the Vagelos Labs were officially unveiled and the Vagelos family pledged $10 million to the molecular life sciences program.

The Roy and Diana Vagelos Laboratories, near 34th and Locust streets, houses facilities for instruction in medicine, engineering and chemistry. A $10 million donation made in 1995 by the Vagelos family helped subsidize the building’s con-

struction. Roy Vagelos, a 1950 College graduate, is a former chief executive of Merck, a pharmaceutical and healthcare company.

The announcement of a separate $10 million donation to endow the eponymous program in molecular life sciences was made in conjunction with the Vagelos Labs ribbon cutting. The intention of the program was to foster interdisciplinary and research-

in the form of Applied Behavioral Analysis, which she described as a pivotal technique to help children with autism socialize and perform appropriately in a traditional school setting. ABA, which utilizes positive reinforcement and one-on-one services, facilitates the cognitive and social development of those with autism to help them achieve a level playing field with their peers.

A major problem now is the legal battle over who should pay for ABA — the parents, the school district or private insurance.

Conflict has also arisen, especially in the Philadelphia School District, with ASD students being shuffled from school to school to conserve money and space, Kerr said. But parents were not notified beforehand of their child’s impending relocation.

Prior written notice, Kerr argued, is actually a constitutional right. In a case she argued recently, the court decided in favor of the parents in such a case, an important victory for autism advocates.

College senior and Co-President of Penn Speaks for Autism Carla Hernandez first became interested in the autism cause at the age of 15, when she worked at a camp for children with special needs. She said that her group recruited Kerr to speak in order to elucidate an alternative perspective in the discussion of autism. "[Kerr] has a less scientific approach [than past speakers] and is more focused on the rights and education of people with autism,” Hernandez said.

Research Round-up A synopsis of research released this week, from Wharton to Penn Med

The new texting, inboxing, Snapchatting hybrid

POLITICAL IGNORANCE Americans know surprisingly less than one might expect about their government, a survey conducted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found.

Only about a third of respondents were able to name all three branches of the United States government, and 35 percent could not name any.

The survey also found that only 27 percent of Americans know that it takes a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to override a presiden-

tial veto, and one in five Americans mistakenly think that a Supreme Court vote of 5 to 4 is sent back to Congress for reconsideration. The study, which surveyed 1,416 adults, was released just in time for Constitution Day. With the Republicans taking control of the Senate this past election day, hopefully American citizens will become more informed about party power. When the survey was conducted, over half of Americans were unsure which party controlled the House and Senate.

EXECUTIVE MANIPULATION CEOs manipulate the timing of corporate news, a study released last week and co-conducted by a Wharton professor found.

Executives seem to control the flow of financial information within their companies in order to boost stock prices at the times most beneficial to bloating their own equity holdings. Isolating the manipulation required a huge research effort.

“The researchers studied the distribution of positive and negative news appearing in a database of more than 166,000 corporate news releases between 1994 and 2011. They then had to correlate that distribution with a separate database containing the ... CEO equity grants,” Barron’s , a financial news source, reported on Nov. 6.

REDUCING BREAST CANCER PAINS The other study found that electric acupuncture reduced pain in breast cancer survivors by 40 percent, and that "sham" acupuncture — the use of needles that don't penetrate a person's muscles — reduced pain by 80 percent for people expecting the acupuncture to work.

Exercise and acupuncture can help breast cancer survivors feel less pain, according to two recent Penn Medicine studies.

One study found that a specific exercise regiment reduced symptoms of lymphedema, a swelling of the upper body after breast cancer treatment.

WeHUB aims to replace multiple existing messenger services PATRICIA JIA Contributing Writer

WeHUB Messenger, a startup messaging app founded by 2014 Wharton MBA alumnus Hagen Lee, aims to give users greater control over their conversations.

Eleven of the app’s main features are pending patent approval. Lee said that the app is intended to give users the ability to “express emotion in its purest form.” It officially launched in mid-October, and WeHUB hosted a Penn scavenger hunt with clues given through the app from Oct. 23 to Nov. 4.

After Penn, Lee knew that he wanted to develop a messagingbased mobile platform. After interviewing more than 500 people in both Korea and the United States, he learned that people were using five or six different messaging apps to serve different functions. With WeHUB, he wanted to provide a new user experience that makes good on the slogan of “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”

The Penn connection is incredibly important to Lee and WeHUB, and the app even includes Benjamin Franklin emoticons. “You saw the Benjamin Franklin emoticons,” WeHUB Vice President Robbie Stone said. “That’s why we’re here at UPenn, to build it at Penn

and make it a Penn product.” Like Snapchat to Stanford and Facebook to Harvard, Lee and Stone hope that WeHUB will have home-field support from Penn.

Lee suggested that sororities, fraternities, cohorts at Wharton and sports team in particular could benefit from the features’ capabilities, which range from group messaging to drawing. The “Recall” feature allows users to delete a message from both their phone and the recipient’s phone. Like Snapchat, “Poof” sends a message that self-destructs in 10 seconds, while “DaVinci” encrypts messages by revealing the actual message for 10 seconds and then scrambling the text. Users can host mega-chats with up to 300 people, and the “Whisper” function allows a user to privately message people within the larger chat. WeHUB could effectively replace WhatsApp and GroupMe for its users, Lee said.

Not all features are available immediately — the app is free, but the system is gamified so new features are unlocked as users reach higher levels. “We hope it adds to the viralness of the app because in order to unlock the next level, you have to add friends,” Lee explained. With more than 20,000 users already, the app has an unlocked feature that requires 1,000 friends. Lee calls it the “Batman” feature, and only he and his company’s chief technology officer know what it is.

In the next 12 months, Lee and Stone would like to see WeHUB reach a million users.

Freshmen give Penn bright future M. SOCCER | Seven newcomers are poised to contribute

BY JACOB ADLER Staff Writer Is the future of Penn men’s soccer right before our eyes?

As the Quakers prepare for Senior Night this Saturday against Harvard, it is natural to wonder who will be filling in for graduating seniors Duke Lacroix, Kamar Saint-Louis, Louis Schott, Jason deFaria and Mariano GonzalezGuerineau.

It is tough to classify this season as a success for the Red and Blue, as the defending Ivy League champs were eliminated from 2014 title contention this past Saturday after a 3-2 loss at Princeton. Four of Penn’s losses this season have been by one goal, and the Quakers’ two ties to Yale and Brown, respectively, were in games in which Penn was expected to win.

This season, seven freshmen joined the team, and many contributed in their rookie years. “[For them,] it’s a new program, a new team,� coach Rudy Fuller said. “The fact that so many of them were able to come in and immediately play minutes was an impressive start.�

Among the greater contributors were back Luka Martinovic, midfielder Austin Kuhn and back Sam Wancowicz. Martinovic has logged two assists, Kuhn has scored two important goals and Wancowicz has added a goal and ranks fifth on the team with 10 shots. All three have played in 14 or more of the Quakers’ 16 games this season. “Guys like Austin, Sam and Luka were all steady contributors throughout the year,� Fuller said.

Kuhn and Wancowicz have both been recognized for their efforts during the season. Both players have earned Philadelphia Soccer Six honors and Kuhn also received an Ivy League Rookie of the Week nod back in September.

Also making his presence felt was midfielder

Al Bagnoli (bottom) will coach his final games for the Red and Blue, finishing a farewell tour that has been in some ways reminiscent of Derek Jeter (top).

TYDINGS >> PAGE 10

Ancient Eight has also featured some sort of moment where the opposing school, be it Dartmouth, Yale or Princeton, thanked Bagnoli for what he has done in the Ancient Eight. Yale even gave the Connecticut native a gift.

Yet Bagnoli has remained stubborn as always and refuses to be a part of any ceremony or recognition.

And to a certain extent, rightfully so. He has always said that it was about his players, not him, and that is true to a large extent.

But now, it isn’t about the players. The games have become relatively meaningless outside of playing for pride, and the losses are piling up to an embarrassing extent. Just like Jeter, who for the

first time in his career played a game at Yankee Stadium with the Yankees out of playoff contention, Bagnoli has to deal with a team that can’t contend with the top dogs in the Ivies.

So against Harvard on Saturday, when Bagnoli steps foot onto Franklin Field for the final time as head coach, he needs to embrace it. The fans that show up need to embrace him.

And when Penn chooses to recognize its long-time head coach during pregame, halftime or whenever they decide to do so, it will be time for Bagnoli to finally acknowledge that for once, it can be about him.

Those three players had a lot to learn when they first stepped on campus. But they have closed that gap as the season has gone on and

Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov looks on as his team practices at Penn’s Class of 1923 Arena on Monday morning. Varlamov is slated to start against the New York Islanders on Tuesday, and has posted a .925 save percentage.

on Friday, a difficult stretch for a team that is struggling to live up to expectations.

What’s the toughest part of a swing like that?

“Probably just the time change,” Johnson said. “We’re on Mountain Time, so falling asleep around 1 [a.m.] is like 11 [p.m.] back home, and you’re getting up at 8 [a.m.], which is really like 6 [a.m.] … the time change is the biggest adjustment.”

Saturday’s game against Philadelphia probably didn’t help the Avalanche sleep any easier.

Colorado put up three goals in the third period, but still fell 4-3.

Just one season after winning the Central Division, the Avs appear to have regressed, currently standing 4-7-5 and seven points behind the division-leading Nashville Predators.

Their next matchup will provide little respite. Once doormats, the Islanders are returning

home from their own five-game trip to the West Coast having won three in a row and now sit second in the Metropolitan Division.

However, the Islanders opened that road trip with a 5-0 loss to the Avalanche in Colorado. Goalie Semyon Varlamov posted a 40-save shutout for the Avs, while Johnson scored his second goal of the season.

Regardless of the difficult situation they face, the Avalanche were just happy to get back to work in a venue most people at Penn don’t get the chance to appreciate.

“This is the only time we’ve [practiced in a non-NHL arena on the road] so far this year, I don’t think we do it again,” Johnson said. “[It’s a] really nice old barn, lot of history, and it’s really cool to be on campus.”

After practice concluded and the players returned to the bus in full uniform, a group of fans emerged beaming, used sticks from Varlamov and center Ryan O’Reilly in hand.

They were solid consolation prizes for a cancelled open skate.

Sheerr Pool records... shattered!

Penn women’s swimming and diving thoroughly dismantled Columbia in its season-opening meet Friday, winning all 16 events. The Quakers broke five Sheerr Pool records in the process, with Rochelle Dong setting new individual marks in the 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard butterfly.

Bagnoli needs to follow Jeter’s lead

It may not have gotten onto the Sports Center highlight reel — despite Penn Athletics’ best efforts — but wide receiver Justin Watson’s 22-yard touchdown reception deserved praise. The sopho sophomore effortlessly reeled down a high pass from quarterback Alek Torgersen with one hand, pulling the Quakers within two points of Princeton.

A happy sendoff >>>

Penn women’s soccer senior Clara Midgley provided the perfect capper to a Penn women’s soccer season characterized by a strong finishing kick. After Princeton came back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the score with time running out, the forward collected a perfect pass from midfield midfielder Lindsey Sawczuk and slotted it home to give the Quakers an emotional 3-2 win.

4.

Your new champion Penn field hockey may have fallen to Princeton in its finale, 4-3, but the future is bright.

Freshman attack Alexa Hoover scored her 14th goal of the season, which was good enough to capture the Ivy scoring title and prove that the Quakers have the talent to compete long-term in the Ancient Eight.

Break out the brooms <<<

Penn volleyball got its Alumni Weekend off to a good start against Dartmouth on Friday night, dismissing the Big Green in three sets. Junior outside hitter Alexis Genske recorded her seventh double-double of the season, while senior middle blocker Kendall Turner added 10 kills.

Hey, what about us?

Not to be outdone, Penn men’s swimming and diving got its season off to a solid start as well.

The Quakers defeated Connecticut by 47 points on Sunday, 172-125. Junior Chris Swanson, fresh off a record-setting sophomore campaign, got his year off to a good start: he easily won the 1000-yard freestyle.

Better than Spider 2 Y Banana >>>

Penn football lost to Princeton, 22-17, but it wasn’t for a lack of inventiveness. On the Quakers’ second possession, coach Al Bagnoli called a wide receiver pass play, and senior Conner Scott executed it to a T. Scott hit fellow wide receiver Eric Fiore for a 40 yard gain, setting the Red and Blue up deep in Tigers territory.

Fast first half

Penn men’s soccer saw its dreams of repeating as Ivy champs come to an end Saturday when it lost to Princeton, 3-2, but it wasn’t for lack of effort. Sophomore forward Alec Neumann scored two goals in the first half to cut Tigers’ leads of 2-0 and 3-1 in half.

Just short

Penn volleyball had a chance to beat Harvard in front of a rowdy Palestra crowd on Saturday night, but just couldn’t close it out in the end. Though the Quakers dropped three sets in a row after building a 2-0 lead, they saw Alexis Genske post her second double-double of the weekend.

Super stop, Kalijah Terilli!

Penn women’s soccer’s junior goalkeeper made a lunging save with less than two minutes to play against Princeton to make sure that the Tigers couldn’t complete a comeback from 2-0 down. Terilli’s ensuing outlet pass to midfield set in motion the series of passes that culminated in Clara Midgley’s winning goal.

NHL’s Avalanche practice at Penn Team uses Class of 1923 Arena before Islanders game

BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor A twentysomething Colorado Avalanche fan carried his equipment bag into Penn’s Class of 1923 Arena for his weekly Monday open hockey session, only to find out quickly that he would be forced to stay in the stands.

The reason? His favorite hockey team was occupying the ice.

Two days after suffering a 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Avalanche opted to stay in the city and hold their morning practice on campus before traveling north for Tuesday’s contest against the New York Islanders.

wearing the Red and Blue since the program was cut in 1978, but it is no stranger to the NHL. Teams scheduled to take on the Flyers usually opt to practice in the rink’s intimate setting when the Wells Fargo Center’s ice surface is unavailable.

With natural light filtering in from street-level windows, the arena has drawn positive reviews from NHL players usually accustomed to skating in more expansive settings.

“I liked it, it’s got an old barn feeling to it,” defenseman Erik Johnson said. “I could see playing here, the fans being right on top of you. [It’s a] pretty cool rink.”

Colorado is currently in the middle of a four-game East Coast road trip. After playing the Islanders in Long Island on Tuesday, the Avs will face the New York Rangers on Thursday and the New Jersey Devils

One of the beautiful things about sports is their universality — you don’t have to speak the same language as your opponents to recognize a fantastic play or a well-fought game. This past August, Penn women’s basketball got to experience this element of sports firsthand during a ten-day whirlwind tour of Italy.

For the first time in program history, the Quakers embarked overseas for what they called the “2014 Italy Tour,” which included stops in Rome, Florence, Lake Como and Venice.

The goal? Soak up a little bit of Italian culture while getting international basketball experience. “[The team] saw some of the

veryone reading this next sentence will hate me but I will say it anyway: When Al Bagnoli announced in April that he would retire after the 2014 season, I immediately thought about Derek Jeter.

This isn’t just because I grew up a diehard New York Yankees fan or because I also happen to cover Penn football.

Instead it is because both men announced that they would retire before their respective seasons yet neither wanted any part of the spotlight that comes with doing so.

It is no secret that Bagnoli has never wanted things to be about himself. When any reporter asks questions involving him personally, he will quickly brush them aside and say that he wants the focus to be on his players, not himself.

And Jeter was the same way, desiring the media to stop pestering him about how he felt about going through his final season and give attention to the 2014 Yankees as a whole.

But both the Yankees and Quakers couldn’t reach their goals of making the playoffs and an Ivy title, respectively, falling well short in Penn’s case.

So it is time for Bagnoli to embrace his “farewell tour” in the same way that Jeter did.

By the end of the season, when it was clear that the Yankees weren’t going to make the postseason, Jeter graciously accepted the accolades and gifts from opposing fans and teams. He acknowledged the fans even though he said it was like watching his own funeral.

And I’m sure it has been weird for Bagnoli, too.

It’s not like he is going very far away. The long-time coach will likely end up in some sort of administrative position and will still be involved in the program in a different — and ultimately smaller — role.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t embrace the support he has gotten from the outside. Each road game in the
