Provost Price to leave for Duke Price will depart Penn on July 1 to become president of Duke SYDNEY SCHAEDEL Senior News Editor-elect

Provost Vincent Price will be leaving Penn to become President of Duke University, Penn President Amy Gutmann announced in an email on Friday morning. Price has been provost since 2009, but has been at the University since 1998. He has previously held roles as Interim Provost, Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs, Chair of the Faculty Senate and Associate Dean of the Annenberg School. He is also the Steven H. Chaffee Professor of Communication in the Annenberg School for Communication and a professor of political science. In her email, Gutmann called his departure, which is scheduled for July 1, “bittersweet news.” “No one is better prepared or more deserving than Vince to lead a distinguished university such as Duke. We are proud and extremely happy for him…even if our happiness is tinged with the sadness of our cherished colleague and friend departing from Penn,” Gutmann wrote. Price was unanimously selected on Friday to succeed Duke’s current president, Richard H. Brodhead, after an international search led by a

Beyond the safety pin: How to show you’re an ally to minorities

REBECCA TAN Staff Reporter

With the recent addition of Swarthmore College, the list of “sanctuary campuses” in the U.S. now stands at seven. Penn, which declared last week that it “is and always has been a sanctuary” for undocumented students, is the only Ivy League University on that list. On Nov. 21, a week before President Amy Gutmann’s school-wide email addressing petitions for Penn to be made a sanctuary, Columbia University’s Provost John Coatsworth sent out a similar statement. Coatsworth wrote that Columbia would not cooperate with federal efforts to identify undocumented students, although there is still doubt as to whether Columbia has identified as a sanctuary campus, as Coatsworth refrained from using the exact term. Last week, Gutmann wrote that Penn is SEE SANCTUARY PAGE 5

Following several reports of hate crimes allegedly in response to President-Elect Trump’s victory, people who don’t belong to minority groups showed support by wearing safety pins.

Quakers for Life stage abortion protest on College Green Wharton sophomore Eric Hoover founded the group STEPHEN DAMIANOS Contributing Reporter

As students walked down Locust Walk Friday in the early December sun, they passed 600 flags planted on College Green, each representing an abortion that took place in the last two weeks in Philadelphia. The protest is sponsored by Quakers for Life, one of Penn’s newest student groups. According to the group’s Facebook page, Quakers for Life is “committed to creating a community of pro-life students who all share the common goal of protecting human life.” Wharton sophomore Eric Hoover, who founded the group this semester amid controversy,

said the group’s primary objective is raising awareness. “We want to start a discussion on the issue,” he said. “We think it’s a gross human rights violation and we want to get people talking about it, talking about human equality, talking about the science of when life begins.” The protest received moderate pushback. Locust Walk chalk writings read “AntiChoice, A nti-Women” a nd “Ever y f lag represents a woman who got safe + legal care. You are brave.” A few students quietly counter-protested. Ma r ia Ryan, a graduate student studying music, held a sign that said, “Trust women and their choices. Defend and protect safe access to abortion.” Ryan spoke frankly about her

motivations. “It’s very simple. I don’t want women at Penn to feel shamed for having abortions,” she said. Graduate student Veronica Brownstone joined Ryan in protest. “I don’t really understand why we have a couple of white guys in slacks telling us what women should doing with their bodies,” she said. “It’s a pretty precarious time to be saying that kind of statement.” Hoover was unfazed by the pushback. “I’m glad that we’re at a University that let’s us do this,” he said. “I think that the University is protecting free speech here [and] I definitely approve of that. I hope it continues that way...I don’t have any reason to believe that it won’t.”

don’t identify as minorities to join on-campus movements. “If there are more white students involved people see power in that number,” Arthur said. She recalled that there were white students who participated in a walk-out in protest of theracist GroupMe message sent just before Thanksgiving break. However, she believes that more students need to be supportive of minority communities on campus. College senior Chaz Smith believes that there is work to be done on both sides and that it is hard to pinpoint exactly what is expected of allies. “This has been the elephant in the room for a long time. I honestly don’t think anyone really knows,” Smith said. Following the racist GroupMe messages, UMOJA, the umbrella organization for black student

groups, held a town hall to discuss what had happened. The email inviting students included the instruction: “This is exclusively for black people.” “That would be a great opportunity to listen and hear something they haven’t before,” Smith said of why it could have been beneficial for UMOJA to include non-black allies in the discussion. Smith believes that the first part of successful ally-ship is understanding. “If you are a white person and you want to support and help minorities the best thing you can do is listen,” he said. Smith compared white ally-ship for black causes to his own work as a male advocate for women’s issues. “As a male I have been learning about the disadvantages that women have and listening to what other women say,” Smith said. He used the information he learned to make a video published on the Huffington Post about the

importance of understanding sexual assault. Besides learning about minority issues, Arthur and Smith both have ideas for what actions students and administrators can take. “I want to see white students talk to professors, go to events by UMC and UMOJA, be willing to have hard conversations with friends and family, call the board of trustees, and demand institutional change,” Arthur said. ” “First listen to people to gain understanding,” Smith said, “then use your privilege, new understanding and your voice.” Arthur believes that if organizations such as Penn want to change, they need to show actions that they are making towards supporting minorities such as hiring more diverse faculty rather than just sending supportive emails. “Penn needs to bring resources to their students and show that we don’t accept this,” Arthur said.

Chaplain Howard shares views on Trump’s surprise victory Howard insisted Trump is not a historical anomaly ELIZABETH WINSTON Staff Reporter

It has been almost a month since Donald Trump’s surprising presidential victory, giving Americans some time to reflect on what his election means moving forward. Chaplain Chaz Howard shared his opinions on what the Republican’s win means for the black community and social justice movements in the next four years. “It felt like people went into ‘survival mode’ rather than ‘dream and vision mode,’” Howard said, describing his experience with the black community in the weeks immediately following the election. Howard said it is still uncertain what the effect on the black community will be following

the election and he feels that there is still a feeling of shock over the transition from a black president to a president-elect who is perceived negatively within the majority of the black community. “We went from a glorious day to a very dark night,” Howard said. “I think it is frightening for many black Americans,” Howard said. “On the other hand, this won’t be the first president black Americans have to push back against.” Howard added that Trump is not near the level of racism that was seen in past, such as President Woodrow Wilson, who actively pushed for segregation, or President Andrew Jackson, who was known for forcing Native Americans to leave their land and embark on the “Trail of Tears.” Some have who were formerly

against Trump have adopted the optimistic view to “give Trump a chance.” “I do want Trump to succeed because if he fails, the country fails,” Howard added. However, Howard points out that “you cannot normalize hate, you cannot give that a chance.” He believes that no matter one’s opinion of the president-elect, it is important to respect that he won the presidency. CN N com mentator Va n Jones said on election night that Trump’s victory could be attributed to a “white-lash” — backlash by white racists against black civil rights advances. Howard believes that this may have contributed to some of Trump’s popularity but that the majority of his supporters probably voted for him for other reasons. Howard also talked about the role that media played in

determining the election. “It makes us think about the radical democratization of the news,” he said, referring to the existence of separate media outlets to represent liberal and conservative views. “One of the dangers of society is that we don’t talk to each other,” Howard said. He touched upon how much of the news focused on scandal as opposed to policy and he believes that we need better candidates all around. He mentioned that many of the younger undergraduate students he meets have interests in making real change and potentially holding political offices. However, he finds that many end up changing their minds by the time they graduate. Howard ultimately hopes that after seeing this election, people are inspired to run for office. “I hope we have another Penn president,” Howard said.

The month of silence mandated by the monk class will be over by the time this column is in print. While there was a tapering off of distractions going into this, there’s no easing out. I’ve been eating raw, waking up at 5 a.m., keeping up with schoolwork and thinking clearly. I feel a constant reassurance, and I fear it going away once I’m back to constant pinging. I’ll go from Hanh to Trungpa — extreme asceticism to extreme hedonism — and just in time for finals! I wonder whether monkland is really so different from real-world. This is my only solace. Being in the monk class is like being in this reality where the boundaries are explicit. Each restriction has words and each action is delineated: wake up by 5 a.m., do not eat processed food, do not speak. My inner Marxist wants to equate these to structural forces molding opportunity in the real world: If you’re born in an economically depressed area, you’ll only have blue-

collar work in your immediate grasp. Actions are constrained and possibilities are limited, always. I’m entering back into a world where these limitations are insidiously covert and, consequently, far more difficult to navigate. While you may think that you’ve superseded your circumstances by attending Penn, you are still bound by the logic of your hometown. Through the artifice of my restrictions, constraints were laid bare: I am a monk, so I can only interact with the world in a codified way. The actions I could perform were a joy, even if they were so stringently restricted. Now, these will just amount to existing. When not speaking, lots of things become unnecessary. The worries about confusing others fade after a while, as does the guilt. If you interpret my silent offering of a cookie as the call to the socialist revolution, then that is on you, the receiver. These interpretations are based on the circumstances of the receiver — circumstances that

I, the initiator, could not possibly know. Reactions to me or around me became impersonal, and soon I begin to realize that, maybe, I was never anything more than a spectator, after all. People will continue to

Actions are constrained and possibilities are limited, always.” move through their lives, in and out of dramas and triumphs, and you can only infer from the periphery. Doubtless, these same movements would be occurring whether or not you were intervening. I hope I don’t take this line of thinking too far and become a constant bystander. I hope I don’t reject this line of thinking too much and stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong. Disallowed from media consumption, all I knew about current events came

I worry about losing this sense — I think we’re often forced into false certainties. We’re often forced to make articulate, well-reasoned statements formed from little more than fragmentary information. And we need to then defend those statements from naysayers, lest we seem wishy-washy and unsure of ourselves. And isn’t that the worst sin you could commit? To say something you didn’t really mean? To double back on an assertion?

I think I’ve said many things with conviction out of a need to sound self-assured. Assuage any uncertainty, so we at least can grasp onto something. When there is no ground, there is nowhere to walk. No step can be made, so no progress occurs. How horrible it would be to exert energy and to get nowhere? I may have taken a lot of steps throughout this journey, but I don’t know that I’ve travelled anywhere. I worry about disappointing people. I don’t think that my past month has been any different from what anyone else has been doing. The main difference, I think, is that I was aware that I was partaking in something — and others were aware too. The main difference is the acknowledgement of spectacle and artifice, of possibility and impossibility. These are things that exist, too, in the everyday — it’s the lack of spectacle that renders them invisible and renders us all unaware. Through letters and through talking at me when I

I received a lot of wellmeaning advice and aphorisms in my early college years: “early to bed … ” and “beer before liquor … ” among other things. I have mostly taken it as the oblique counsel of grownups that comes from romanticized memory and for lack of a better thing to say. One of those few tidbits that still sticks in my brain is, “you won’t be able to procrastinate in college like you do in high school,” invoking the rigor and complexity of the college curriculum. I have found this to be unerringly true. College procrastination is an entirely different animal. Extinct is the sober toil that aims toward completing an assignment the night before. There is something glorious and severe about it now. For any given last minute assignment I can choose to make half a dozen mugs of strong instant coffee and, between bouts of gastric distress, work until the five minutes

before it is due. Then maybe I’ll run across campus in all-nighter sweatpants to show the professor a triumphant expression that says, “Hey, I made it through! What now, punk?” I somehow doubt that this is my experience alone. A meta-analysis from the past decade concludes that “80% to 95% of college students engage in procrastination, approximately 75% consider themselves procrastinators, and almost 50% procrastinate consistently and problematically.” And it is undeniable that there is a culture of procrastination on campus, mine being just one example with myriad permutations. It is neither unusual to hear talk of all-nighters among rows of GSRs nor in the maze that is the Engineering Quad. For some, tolerance for extended sleep deprivation is a matter of pride in a way that is very similar to tolerance for liquor. A particularly strung out en-

gineer comes to mind who brandishes his “70 straight hours” as a bragging right. Who says we should discourage this behavior? I have read quite a few articles on social media citing the benefits of procrastination. They claim that in an-

progress.” Grown-ups say “people believe what they want to believe,” and, please, do not be deceived. It does not take much to see through this self-congratulation. Certainly, in some circumstances delaying a decision

may result in a better outcome, but this is rarely true for academic endeavors. There is overwhelming evidence that chronic procrastination results in worse outcomes in the majority of cases, especially late into a semester. This ties into what many psychologists think are the

major factors contributing to this condition. These include fear of failure, task aversion, depression and anxiety. Students who perform below their expectations tend to procrastinate more than other students. This results in lower marks and increased fear of failure, task aversion, depression and anxiety. It is a destructive cycle that is, as one researcher aptly put it, “self-defeating behavior. It corresponds to the pattern of short-term gains and long-term costs which is a common feature of self-defeating behaviors.” In short, I am boldly taking the stance that procrastination is not good. It is, in fact, quite bad. It is true that being away at university affords us freedoms plenty. For those of us who still had a bedtime in high school, we can stay up however late we want. We can sleep late in accordance with our schedules and even spend our free time getting turned

HARRISON GLICKLICH away from student comedy shows. However, without the support of a network of teachers, parents and old friends, we also have the freedom to fail to meet our own expectations. Here, procrastination plays a key role, and I think there are better alternatives. If that sounds right, perhaps it is best to eliminate the option. I’ve retired my computer. It helps.

a “sanctuary,” although she also did not use the full technical term “sanctuary campus.” Other administrators have been more explicit: Wesleyan University President Michael Roth wrote on Nov. 20 that “it is very important to declare that Wesleyan University is a sanctuary campus.” Last Friday, Swarthmore College President Valerie Smith and Chair of the Board of Managers Thomas E. Spock stated that the College “wholeheartedly pledges” to become a sanctuary campus. While administrators like Smith and Roth have embraced the term “sanctuary campus,” others have adopted a stance against the movement. Last Friday, New Mexico State

University President Garrey Carruthers stated that the University “will not ban federal law enforcement agents from our campus,” as “doing so would jeopardize federal funding.” Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber also wrote in a statement that the concept of a sanctuary campus “has no basis in law, and that colleges and universities have no authority to exempt any part of their campuses from the nation’s immigration laws.” Nonetheless, officials at Penn, Columbia, Wesleyan and Swarthmore have made several commitments to their undocumented students. Administrators at all these institutions have stated that they will not allow immigration officials on campus (unless required by warrant) or share

Smith added that Swarthmore will not participate in the “E-Verify” program, an online database run by the Department of Homeland Security for businesses to determine the immigration status eligibility of their employees. Gutmann also assured undocumented students that they will continue to receive the financial support they need to complete their education as well as remain eligible for work-study positions. Roth similarly wrote that administrators at Columbia were working to offer “special financial aid” to undocumented students should they lose their ability to work due to federal

This Wednesday, these students at Penn will meet with high level administrators such as Vice Provost for University Life Valarie SwainCade McCoullum and Vice P resident for I nstitutiona l Affairs Joann Mitchell. The Office of University Life at Columbia has started hosting private information sessions for undocumented students to address their concerns while Swarthmore’s President Smith has begun convening with “a working group of students, faculty, and staff” to respond to the needs of undocumented students.

19-member committee comprised of administrators, trustees, faculty, students and alumni. “I could not be more pleased with this decision, for Vince Price has demonstrated throughout his distinguished academic career the type of strong, effective and enlightened leadership which will ensure that Duke has a worthy successor to Dick Brodhead,” David Rubenstein, chair of the Board of Trustees, said in a statement. Duke, located in Durham, N.C., is smaller than Penn, with an undergraduate enrollment of 6,485 to Penn’s 10,406. There are also fewer graduate students, but like Penn, Duke has a law school, business school and medical school. The competitiveness of its

undergraduate schools rivals Penn, with 32,111 applicants for the class of 2020 and an 11 percent acceptance rate. “I am deeply honored to be a part of this most dynamic university, and I look forward to working with our faculty, students, staff, alumni and many friends around the world,” Price said in a statement released on Duke’s website. Price earned his B.A. in English from the University Honors Program at Santa Clara University, and his Ph.D and M.A.A. in Communication from Stanford University. “He is a leading global expert on public opinion, social influence, and political communication,” his biography on the Office of the Provost webpage reads. “Public Opinion,” a book Price wrote on the subject in 1992, has been published in six languages and is taught in courses

around the world. Price came to Penn from the University of Michigan, where he was Chair and Associate Professor of Communication Studies and a faculty associate of the Center for Political Studies. Gutmann wrote that while at Penn, Price has “helped recruit exceptional deans and faculty members while advancing initiatives to diversify the faculty, develop new forms of teaching and learning, expand Penn’s global engagement (including our new Penn Wharton China Center and Perry World House), and enhance arts and culture on campus.” She also noted that an Ad Hoc committee of faculty and students will be formed to select Penn’s next provost, and that the selection will be made prior to Price’s departure on July 1.

other hand, said she has been involved in the sport since she was five years old. “I was a black belt before I came here and I wanted to continue doing Taekwondo,” Hooda said. Both Hooda and Silva stressed that in any violent confrontation, the key to escaping is leveraging the attacker’s power. I was paired with College freshman Nana Berkoh to do the first exercises that focused on escaping wrist grabs. The seminar also included escaping shoulder and shirt grabs. My favorite exercise was one that focused on being an active bystander. One person laid on the ground, representing the victim, and another acted as the perpetrator. My job was to grab the perpetrator’s shoulder and drag her onto the

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM ground. Berkoh was also new to Taekwondo and said a friend had recommended that she come to the seminar. “I like it, I think it’s cool. I feel like I can walk at night a little bit more.” Berkoh said. “Campus is relatively safe, but it’s nice to know that if something did ever happen, I’d be okay.” In light of a string of racist group messages targeting black freshmen at Penn, as well as other racist incidents across the country, many students have been left feeling vulnerable. “After we saw some of the hurtful things that were happening on campus and all of the hate, and the actual fear in some of my friends, some of our team members came to practice one day and were ver y concer ned,” Hooda said. Hooda and her fellow teammates decided that a self defense seminar was a

great way to help Penn students. The Penn Taekwondo team emphasized that we need to learn to defend ourselves, but never indulge someone’s violence. She explained that in its purest form, Taekwondo is an art and does not involve much self-defense. “Basic self defense moves [that can be used] to escape from a dangerous situation is something that can be universally be learned in under an hour,” she said. “We decided to do something because we were all very sad and afraid. We want to see how we can impact the community as a whole.” I came into the seminar fairly confident in my street smarts and left feeling prepared to actively defend myself and others if a serious situation should arise. Hopefully I will never have to use these skills, but it is nice to have them.

of discussion panels hosted by Penn’s Program for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society. Levendusky, a professor of political science at Penn, described the recent election as a “black swan,” meaning that it was unforeseen. “A whole series of very small things happened, and had any one of them not happened, the outcome would’ve been different,” said Levendusky, who warned against ascribing too much importance to individual factors in a complex chain of

events. One of the more important factors, Levendusky said, was the way media covered the election. A much greater volume of coverage during the race was focused on 1968 Wharton graduate and President-elect Donald Trump, only swinging toward Clinton during events like the Democratic National Convention. “Even though the tone varied somewhat in that coverage, Trump was always massively leading it,” Levendusky said. “That affects the way people

perceive the race.” “It was very much a surprising election for everyone,” said Lapinski, director of Penn’s Program on Opinion Research and Election Studies and director of the Elections Unit at NBC News. He said NBC was one of the last media outlets to call the election. Lapinsk i sa id election forecasting may have been inaccurate because of the reluctance of many white voters to respond to polls. “A lot of times media people take the polls as the truth,”

Lapinski said, adding that in reality “a poll is a snapshot.” The “religious divide in American politics ... helped Donald Trump and probably hurt Hillary Clinton,” said Layman, a professor of political science at Notre Dame University. Layman also noted that many white evangelical voters ended up supporting Trump. He noted that their support may be surprising to some given Trump’s profile — he is twice divorced, supports same-sex marriage and has said transgender people should choose

which restroom they feel comfortable using. He added that Trump did better among evangelical voters who attend church less frequently than those who regularly attend, possibly because of a divide between the groups in education and socio-economic class. An array of factors affected the election, and the speakers acknowledged that they would likely be having a very different discussion had Clinton won. “Republicans came home to Donald Trump at exactly the right moment,” Levundusky said.

Team of freshmen win Hult Prize with plant-based toothbrush Startup ideas aimed to combat refugee crisis BRIAN ZHONG Contributing Reporter

The room suddenly went silent. Everyone froze in anticipation of the words that would come next. “Team Haya!” A cry of disbelief, hugs and beaming smiles followed. Four Penn freshmen had just won the Hult Prize at Penn, securing their place to compete for $1 million in seed funding at the regional

competition in March. The Hult Prize at Penn final competition took place Saturday at the Perry World House. Twelve teams of three to four Penn students addressed this year’s challenge — the refugee crisis — by formulating ideas for startups and pitching them to judges. The winning idea was a toothbrush designed using plantbased material that requires neither toothpaste nor water. The event was part of an international competition run by the Hult Prize Foundation, attracting 20,000 students from over 100 countries.

While the United Nations estimates that there are 60 million global refugees, the Hult Prize Foundation believes there are one billion. “Millions [of refugees] have been separated from their families … lost their old lives and endured a significant amount of emotional suffering,” said College junior and Hult Prize at Penn Campus Director Tiffany Yau, a former Daily Pennsylvanian reporter. “[Earlier this month] we had a speaker come in who was a [Syrian] refugee [living in] Philadelphia, and just

listening to his story, it was incredibly moving…” Team Haya includes Engineering and Wharton freshman Nishita Jain , Wharton freshman Riddhi Surana , College and Wharton freshman Varun Vallabhaneni and Wharton freshman Charles Zhang. The Hult Prize requires each team to propose a business model, something Jain finds essential to sustainable solutions. “It’s really hard to scale a nonprofit because [they] are so dependent on donations … and outside sources for funding,” Jain

said. “It allows you to be selfsustaining in a way that will … maximize your social impact.” Margaret O’Sullivan , who served as one of the three judges, could connect the pitches she heard to her own experiences as the Executive Director of the Nationalities Service Center. “Since I run an agency that receives refugees that come to the United States from all parts of the world, we see the outcome of what happens when they are deprived of things such as dental care, family care, mental healthcare,” O’Sullivan said. “In

composite, teams that presented covered almost every area.” O’Sullivan said she was particularly impressed with the teams’ ability to incorporate technology into their social enterprises. “This generation is so focused and so good at forging through with technology and moving the needle with technology,” O’Sullivan said. “I was inspired by the potential to see these two areas come together, using their technological acumen more and more in the sectors that help humanity, because we need it.”

A conversation with Lambda Alliance Chair Sean Collins Lambda Alliance willl advocate for trans health LAUREN SORANTINO Staff Reporter

College junior Sean Collins, studying mathematics, was named Chair of the Lambda Alliance , the LGBTQ-umbrella organization, for 2017. Collins, a former track & field athlete and head of Penn Athletes and Allies Tackling Homophobia, has been a part of Lambda since his freshman year. Collins sat down with The Daily Pennsylvanian to answer a few questions about his involvement in Lambda and plans

for next year. The Daily Pennsylvanian: How long had you been involved in Lambda before you were named Chair? Sean Collins: I was on the last board, serving for the full calendar year 2016. DP: Were you just a Lambda member before this? SC: Lambda is interesting in that it’s doesn’t exactly have general members like a traditional club would. I was going to meetings my freshman year up until I ran the next year, so I was involved. DP: What made you like Lambda enough to become its

Chair? SC: Because we had the two preachers on campus and at least one article in the DP that was concerning recently, I felt like it was important for me to respond to these things. I felt like some of those things were discrediting to the entire community. After the election, I saw Penn as a spot that continues to be more accepting. I really want to be a part of that. DP: What are your plans for the future with Lambda? SC: One of the things we pushed for this year but didn’t get through was the inclusion of more transition-related care for trans students. We want to really

keep pushing that because currently Penn’s insurance plan only covers certain transition surgeries deemed medically necessary. We want them to add some procedures that they deem more aesthetic surgeries because these are actually medically necessary for trans people to feel comfortable and safe, especially since crimes against trans people are very high. DP: Do you think it’s a

possibility that Penn could change their policy? SC: In the past, Penn had said that Aetna, who currently provides Penn’s insurance, does not include some medically necessary procedures in their plans. So what we’re asking them to do is to start looking at what other insurance plans might offer or to possibly self-insure. It’s definitely a long-term project, but Penn seems responsive. It is

definitely a possibility, even if people are just going to end up self-insuring. DP: What is your go-to fun fact? SC: I was born in Europe and the United States. I was born on a U.S. Army base in Europe. So it was on the continent of Europe but also officially U.S. land. This interview has been lightly edited for style and condensed.

PENN 63 39 WAGNER

Red and Blue blow past Wagner, move to .500 on the season

W. HOOPS | Seahawks had

largest halftime advantage so far this season. Much of that lead was built during a nine-minute, 18-0 run for the Red and Blue in the end of the first and beginning of the second quarters. A pair of threes from junior guard Anna Ross started the run, and offensive possessions marked by good ball movement led several other Quakers to get involved in the scoring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a couple possessions there where we got some shots and then offensive rebounds to kick out threes a couple of times,â&#x20AC;? coach Mike McLaughlin said about the run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge, that hurts the morale of the other team, second chance points that turn into three points. On the other side, I just thought that we had a series of really good defensive stands.â&#x20AC;? Throughout the run, the defense stood tall, forcing several turnovers and preventing Wagner

Sometimes in sports, everything just clicks, and you make the game look so easy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened on Saturday for Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball, as the Quakers cruised to a 63-39 victory over Wagner. The Red and Blue did everything a team needs to do to win: winning all the major statistical battles, playing sound defense and not giving its opponent any chance of getting back into the game. It helped that the Seahawks only had six available players. The Quakers (3-3) absolutely dominated the Seahawks (1-6) in the first half, as they entered halftime with a 16-point lead, their

Kent, ranked No. 3 at 174 pounds, returned to the mats after missing the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first two tournaments of the year resting from nagging injuries. He was in good form right from the start, getting a fall against teammates Quinton Hiles in just 32 seconds. The reigning All-American didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concede a single point on the day, winning his remaining matches, 6-0 and 10-0, against Rutgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jordan Pagano and Phil Bakuckas.

No. 14 Frank Mattiace ended the day 2-1 at 197 pounds, winning 6-2 and 6-1 decisions before dropping his final match of the day, 7-6, to NC Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Malik McDonald while Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other remaining ranked grappler, No. 16 May Bethea, wrestled only twice, winning his first match 8-7 but losing in his second, 4-2. Jalen Laughlin, a 197-pound freshman, came home with a 2-1 record, most impressively with an 8-0 decision over Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Durso-Finley, and 141-pounder AJ Vindici

from converting on secondchance opportunities. That was a major theme for the day, as the unit turned in their best performance of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think going back, our defense was just awesome. Everyone was getting involved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our press, the two guards up top, and the back line really were active and got to some balls,â&#x20AC;? senior captain Sydney Stipanovich said. Penn came out of the midway break firing, as junior guard Lauren Whitlatch hit a pair of treys on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two possessions of the third quarter, extending the Quakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 22 points. Led by Whitlatchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three three-pointers, the Quakers drained 10 treys throughout the game, tying their season high. The deep barrage, along with continued energy on defense, allowed the Red and Blue to push the lead up to 25 by the end of the third

NICK BUCHTA

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about Penn-Temple basketball. No matter how good or bad the teams are, you can always count on it being just about the best non-conference game featuring the Quakers all year. Saturday was no exception. Once again, Penn-Temple went right down to the wire; the Quakers came up just short in the 70-62 game. There are obvious things to point to in the loss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; going scoreless for the first five-and-a-half minutes of the game, Tyler Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missed lay-up that turned into an Obi Enechionyia ally-oop at the other end, Penn shooting under 30 percent from the floor in the first half. Penn coach Steve Donahue pointed to his own reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Temple deserved to win the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a two-point game with a minute to go, and they won the last minute.â&#x20AC;?

Alexis Genske said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think she deserves to be remembered as a coach who always encouraged the team to be as close as possible, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone who definitely wants to challenge everyone, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not stuck in the same place the whole time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at Penn. I think she is a very thorough coach, and someone who definitely tries to look at everything from multiple

angles.â&#x20AC;? The 2017 team will return all of its players from 2016, but will have a new face calling the shots. Scott Schweihofer has been elevated from assistant to interim head coach as Calhoun starts the process of looking for a replacement. Penn Athletics declined to comment beyond the issued statement, while Carr could not be reached by press time.

record seems to reflect. Look at Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four losses this season. They dropped a very winnable Navy game, but against Miami and Villanova, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like they were run out of the gym. Villanovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the defending national champion, they should beat the Quakers. But we saw a young team going up against the very best and not backing down. After the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nova game, Steve Donahue said they were going to force the Wildcats to win the game from beyond the arc. They were successful, the problem was that Villanova simply converted from range. Penn had one path to victory and did what they could to stay on it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that matters. Yes, the Red and Blue fell short on Saturday. But the same reason they lost is the same reason the game was even close at all. This team is doing all the right things, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the right track. Penn basketball is going to be good again, and soon. We just have to wait a little bit longer.

and be able to adapt to that change quickly.â&#x20AC;? Carrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent graduates were surprised as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still keep in touch with all the girls that were on the team, and my classmates. Everyone was pretty surprised,â&#x20AC;? former captain and 2015 graduate

just too young of a team that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet figured out exactly what to do with its talent. Ten players saw at least ten minutes at the Liacouras Center, nine of them scored. Frankly, the reason Penn made it close is the same reason it lost. The Quakers just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there yet. Let that not veil the really important part of the game: things are coming together. Jake Silpe might be finding his comfort zone, coming up with four assists and three huge steals off the bench. Matt Howard is the guy the Quakers can look to for the key basket at the key moment. Donahue is literally already putting AJ Brodeur in the conversation about being one of the best to ever come through Penn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six games into his college career. Count Temple coach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and former Penn coach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fran Dunphy among Brodeurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got just about everything he needs. As he gets older heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to start having his game away from under the basket a little ... Those guys will be able to get him shooting the occasional three-point jumper, too, and that will help him tremendously. I was very impressed with him.â&#x20AC;? This is a better team than the

win streak and a .500 record for the first time this season. If they keep playing like they did against Wagner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a strong defense and total team effort â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they can expect the wins to keep piling up.

quarter, essentially putting the game all but out of reach for the Seahawks. Stipanovich and junior forward Michelle Nwokedi once again were the offensive stars for the Quakers, as they both recorded their fourth double-doubles of the season and combined for a total of 27 points and 20 rebounds. The two continue to be the biggest factors for Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense, and their success thus far early in the season bodes well for the rest of the year. But despite their preeminence on the score sheet, they feel that this win was more than just because of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our offense was a lot better in this game than it has been in the past, I think we moved the ball really well, and also on the defensive end that was a huge spark for us,â&#x20AC;?

pair of free throws from Hamilton and buckets inside from Howard and Brodeur cut the Temple lead to two, and the game went into the final minute with the Owls clinging to that one-possession margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we had them,â&#x20AC;?

Penn recovers from Rochester with thrilling win at St. Lawrence M. SQUASH | Quakers

split weekend road trip

PAUL HARRYHILL Sports Reporter

Penn men’s squash was pitted against two of the nation’s premier teams this weekend, suffering a 7-2 loss to No. 3 Rochester on Saturday, while earning a 5-4 win against No. 4 St. Lawrence on Sunday. The Quakers (3-2) were coming off of a tough 5-4 loss earlier in the week to Drexel going into these matches, but the defeat helped the team prepare mentally for the weekend’s opponents. “While it was a tough loss on Wednesday, we used it to push forward this weekend,” Penn coach Gilly Lane said. “The team realized that they need to regain

focus and get back to playing Penn squash, which is a toughminded game.” The 7-2 score line for the match Saturday against Rochester (3-0) is a misleading one, as Red and Blue put on a solid performance, but had trouble closing. Juniors Marwan Mahmoud and Hayes Murphy were the winners for Penn at No. 1 and No. 5, respectively. The Nos. 2, 6 and 8 matches all went to five games, and in each of those matches, the Rochester player narrowly came out on top. “Yesterday honestly wasn’t our best performance against Rochester,” senior captain BG Lemmon said. “We were still playing a little scared ... so the theme today was that we’re going to be aggressive. We said to each other, win or lose, we are going to dictate how this match is going to go.”

Marwan Mahmoud clinched a close win for No. 6 Penn men’s squash on Sunday, getting a five-set win to finish off a 5-4 bout with No. 4 St. Lawrence following the Quakers’ 7-2 loss at No. 3 Rochester on Saturday.

St. Lawrence (2-1) proved to be a difficult opponent, as the score was tied 4-4 going into the final, No. 1 match. In dramatic fashion, Mahmoud was able to

recover from a 2-1 deficit and secure the victory for the Quakers with a gritty, five-game victory over St. Lawrence’s Ahmed Bayoumy. Other victories came from

Murphy (3-0), junior Anders Larson (3-0), BG Lemmon (3-2) and sophomore Jonathan Zeitels (3-2). The shift in mentality was the

key for the Quakers on Sunday. “We were playing to win today, rather than playing to not lose,” Lemmon said. The Quakers won’t have any more matches until Jan. 8, when they take on Trinity. The team may have had their confidence shaken by the two consecutive losses they suffered this week, but the victory on Sunday against the Saints will help make great strides for the mentality going forward. “A win against a program like St. Lawrence speaks volumes to the will and the desire of the players to be successful,” Lane said. However, Lemmon recognizes the fact that the team needs to prepare and train even harder in response to the two defeats. “We’re going to enjoy this one for now, but we still have a lot of work to do.”

Red and Blue sweep competition at Total Performance Invitational SWIM & DIVE | Meet is

final of 2016 for Quakers CHRIS PROANO Sports Reporter

After a string of strong performances on the East Coast, Penn swimming and diving has made itself a national force. Both the men’s and women’s teams traveled to Gambier, Ohio, for their final meet of 2016: the Total Performance Invitational at Kenyon College. Over the course of the three-day meet, both teams cruised to first-place finishes, blowing out the closest competition. A major objective for these three nights was to make NCAAs, and after a set of elite performances, some individuals have already qualified. The opening night had various highlights from the two teams. In

the 200-yard medley relay for men, the Quakers swept the first two spots. The team of senior Jimmy Jameson, junior CJ Schaffer and sophomores Colin McHugh and Thomas Dillinger set a new pool record at the James A. Steen Aquatic Center, coming in first at 1:27.54. Sophomore Mark Blinstrub, along with seniors Wes Thomas, Michael Wen and Zach Fisher finished less than a second behind at 1:28.29. In the 1,650 freestyle, juniors Alex Peterson and Taylor Uselis were both able to make the NCAA ‘B’ cut. Peterson finished the race second with a time of 15:05.52, while Uselis ranked fourth at 15:24.91. For the women, the 800 free relay team of senior Ellie Grimes, junior Virginia Burns, sophomore Mary Whiting and freshman Meredith Newman set a new pool record with a time of 7:18.18, more than two seconds better than the previous mark.

Both the men’s and women’s team had leads north of 100 points when the night concluded. The second night helped further set Penn’s lead with impressive starts from both sides. The squad consisting of senior captain Rochelle Dong, juniors Kim Phan and Burns and freshman Wendy Yang established a new school record in the 200 free relay with a rapid time of 1:31.49, breaking a Penn record set in 2014. On the men’s team, Fisher, Jameson, Dillinger and senior Kevin Su commenced the night with a firstplace finish in the 200 free relay, clocking in at 1:19.88. “I really enjoyed seeing how the team worked and hustled together during relays,” Penn coach Mike Schnur said. “They were hungry for the win and extremely motivated.” The third and final night, similar to the previous two, showed how prepared and explosive the Red and Blue are in the water. The Quakers

were able to sweep the top two to three positions in several events. Jameson, freshman Emilio DeSomma and sophomore Mark Blinstrub successfully qualified for an NCAA ‘B’ cut after the sweeping the first three places in the 100 butterfly. Senior Grant Proctor followed that up with a dominant performance in the 200 backstroke, breaking his own pool and school records for a first-place finish. The senior finished with a time of 1:43.73, simultaneously qualifying for an NCAA ‘B’ cut and besting the record he set last year. “I use this meet as a stepping stone toward Ivies, and I knew that I needed to be able to get my time down in order to compete with the top guys in the league,” he said. “So for me to be able to put up my best time really encourages me for the end of February, beginning of March, when we go to Ivy

Championships that I’ll be right at the top of the field.” The women’s team swept the top three in the 500 free led by Virginia Burns who set a pool record with a time of 4:48.68. Freshman Grace Ferry came in second at 4:52.77, followed by Madison Visco in third. Following Ohio, the Quakers take an extended rest, not competing for

over a month, though they will head to Florida over winter break to train. “In these next two or three weeks is the real difference between a team that wants to win an Ivy championship and a team that is OK getting second or third,” Proctor explained. Both teams return to action on Jan. 7 for their second Ivy League tri-meets of the season.

CARR RESIGNS AS HEAD COACH OF PENN VOLLEYBALL

COURTESY OF PENN ATHLETICS

VOLLEYBALL | Coach had 282-221

record, won 5 Ivy titles in 19 years

TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor

Penn volleyball head coach Kerry Carr resigned from her position Thursday after 19 seasons at the helm for the Red and Blue. “I want to thank Kerry for her many years of service to Penn Volleyball and wish her and her family the best in the future,” Penn athletic director

Grace Calhoun said in a statement. “We will begin a national search immediately to find the right candidate to lead our program moving forward.” Carr finishes her tenure as the winningest coach in program history at 282-221 (149-95 Ivy). She also holds the program record for Ivy League titles won with five. Following her arrival in 1998, Carr’s teams won three straight championships from 2001-03. After Carr missed most of the 2008 season while being treated for breast cancer, the team again pulled off consecutive championships upon her return, taking the title in 2009 and 2010. Penn volleyball has struggled in recent years,

Penn basketball fought hard after falling behind big early, but fell short in a 70-62 loss against a superior Temple team on Saturday at the Liacouras Center. After falling behind 21-4 early in the game, the Red and Blue (2-4) rallied and had it within two points in the game’s final minute, but were unable to complete the comeback against the Owls (6-2). The Quakers were led by 19 points from senior forward Matt Howard and 17 from freshman forward AJ Brodeur, and Penn also got a solid game from sophomore guard Jake Silpe, who contributed five points, four assists and three steals in 20

minutes after riding the bench earlier in the season. Temple had a balanced offensive attack, getting 14 points from sophomore Shizz Alston, 12 each from Obi Enechionyia (the star junior who was woefully inefficient, but got his points on volume) and Alani Moore (a freshman guard who also had seven assists), and 11 points from sophomore center Ernest Aflakpui. The Owls got off to their fast start thanks to a barrage of threes and early offensive woes for the Red and Blue. “I feel like we just didn’t come out with enough energy, and they did, and that cost us in the end,” Howard said. The Quakers went on a 10-1 run to cut it to six, but Temple got it back to nine by halftime and a strong start to the second half for the hosts had Penn down 43-28. The Red and Blue, however,

answered back, going on an 18-7 run to make it 50-46. “I’m proud of our effort,” Penn coach Steve Donahue said. “When nothing’s going right in long periods, you can hang your head. ... They played really good basketball the second half, and in particular on the defensive end against a very good offensive team.” For a long time, the Quakers struggled to get closer than four. With Penn down six and just over five minutes remaining, a huge swing took place when sophomore guard Tyler Hamilton blew a wide-open layup and Enechionyia threw down an alley-oop dunk on the other end. “If you’re going to beat Temple, you gotta make those,” Donahue lamented. At that point, the game seemed over, but the Quakers had one more run in them. A SEE M. HOOPS PAGE 8

finishing below .500 in two of the last three seasons. But the news of her departure came as a great surprise to the players, who were informed in a meeting with Assistant Athletic Director Scott Ward before the University announced the news. “Our team was very shocked,” sophomore outside hitter Courtney Quinn said. “Throughout our team, we are all best friends, and she has given us that and given us this opportunity to play together, and that’s something that our team will be forever be grateful for, that we owe to her. This was a hard day for everyone.” “From what I took from after her last game, her

postgame talk, it definitely seemed to me like she was coming back,” junior captain Kendall Covington said. “She never hinted — I never really got any feeling that she might not be coming back.” “I have a lot of mixed emotions,” Covington added. “I don’t think I can pick one exact emotion I’m feeling right now. I kind of take it as, it happens, I’m gonna move on from it, and stay very open-minded as to what’s to come in the future SEE CARR PAGE 8

Six different members of the Red and Blue finished the day with winning records, as the tournament relied on round-robin matchups instead of the standard double elimination bracket. “It’s just nicer to be at a tournament like this because you don’t have to wrestle all day,” Kent explained. “You don’t really approach it any differently — you just wrestle who you’ve got to wrestle.” Joining Kent with a perfect 3-0 performance was junior Joe Velliquette, who won a pair of
