INSIDE NEWS PENN AND THE MAYOR ELECTION A look at the upcoming campaign

Despite national pressure for universities to be more transparent about how they handle sexual assault on campus, Penn remains firm in its decision not to detail how it punishes perpetrators of sexual misconduct.

Previous disciplinary statis-

tics released by the Office of Student Conduct do not differentiate between sanctions issued for sexual assault and harassment and other types of misconduct, such as noise complaints. OSC plans to publish disciplinary statistics in January for the first time in four years, but the reports will be “similar to the reports that happened prior to 2010” — the last time an annual report was issued, OSC Director Julie Lyzinski Nettleton said in a November interview.

The statistics it has released

quantify outcomes and sanctions under the broad categories of academic integrity violations and student conduct violations.

Meanwhile, schools such as Yale and Columbia have begun issuing reports on sexual misconduct, which show complainants’ and respondents’ affiliations to the universities and the outcomes of specific types of cases — such as non-consensual intercourse. But this level of transparency is the exception.

“The norm really is to give out as little as the law requires

when it comes to discipline,” said Frank LoMonte, the executive director of the Virginia-based Student Press Law Center. “In general, I think the trend at universities is to be more and more secretive.”

“Colleges are much more image-conscious than they’ve ever been because of competition for dollars and competition for students,” he added.

The University maintains that privacy concerns bar it from releasing more detailed information.

“The closer you get to at-

taching a sanction to a certain case, the more potential information you’re divulging to the community about any specific student’s specific case, which we don’t do,” Nettleton said.

If there were only one case of vandalism, for example, releasing sanctions for vandalism in general could identify a specific student, Nettleton said.

LoMonte disagreed, saying that in most cases, students either know the person in quesSEE DISCIPLINE PAGE 2

Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s story about a UVA rape sparked sexual assault discussions

Jon M. Huntsman, Sr. talks Wharton, family and giving back

SOPHIA WITTE Staff Writer

COREY STERN Staff Writer

Philadelphia-based writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely, a 1994 College graduate, is at the center of a reporting controversy over her recent Rolling Stone article, “A Rape On Campus,” which tells the gang-rape story of a student identified as “Jackie” at a University of Virginia fraternity party.

As several media reports criticized Erdely for failing to reach out to Jackie’s alleged attackers, Phi Kappa Psi — the fraternity named in the article as the place where Jackie’s rape occurred — released a statement citing discrepancies in the story, includ- SABRINA RUBIN ERDELY ing that the fraPhiladelphiaternity held “no based writer date function or social event” on the night of the alleged assault. As the Charlottesville police formally investigate the article’s allegations, Jackie firmly stands by what she told Erdely.

On Friday, Rolling Stone backed away from the article in a statement addressing factual inconsistencies in Jackie’s account.

“We published the article with the firm belief that it was accurate,” Rolling Stone editor Will Dana wrote in the statement. “Given all of these reports, however, we have come to the conclusion that we were mistaken in honoring Jackie’s request to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account.”

Dana declined to comment beyond

Jon M. Huntsman, Sr., never actually wanted his name on Wharton’s main building.

A long time philanthropist, Huntsman offered Wharton a donation in 1998 to thank the school for its own contributions to his lifetime of success.

“He insisted that it not be named for him,” said Tom Gerrity, then Wharton’s dean.

“But I was clear, a number of the overseers were clear and Judy [Rodin, then Penn’s president,] was clear: There’s no way in the world we can see any other name but Jon M.

Huntsman go on that building.”

Huntsman only was persuaded when he learned the building would publicize his philanthropy and encourage others to give. Several years later, on Oct. 25, 2002, Wharton officially dedicated Jon M. Huntsman Hall in a ceremony attended by then Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the high-profile friends Huntsman had collected over the years.

Looking back on it, Huntsman says he would have never expected his life to bring him that moment.

In the fall of 1955, Huntsman first set foot on Penn’s campus standing out like a self-described “tattered suitcase on a Four Seasons luggage rack.” The poor, native Idahoan was not familiar with

the environment at the nation’s most elite business school.

“I hadn’t quite realized until years later the circus-like atmosphere that I to some extent created in both my dress, my manner of speech and the stories I would tell about Blackfoot, Idaho and potatoes,” Huntsman explained. “People would bait me into discussing these areas because they found them to be quite humorous …

I found them to be very serious because it was all we discussed at home.”

In October, Huntsman finally published his 30-year workin-progress, an autobiography called “Barefoot to Billionaire: Reflections on a Life’s Work and a Promise to Cure Cancer.”

According to Huntsman, Wharton was in every way

a gateway to a life that included a job in the Nixon White House, the invention of the Styrofoam egg carton, the building of a multi-billion dollar global chemical company, over a billion dollars of charitable donations and close friendships with A-listers like George H.W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher and astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Wharton has also been a major beneficiary of Huntsman’s success, receiving at least $50 million in donations and years of guidance from him. During an interview last month, the 77-year-old sat comfortably at his suite at the Rittenhouse Hotel, dressed in a black sweater vest, slacks and a warm smile that read more“loving grandpa” than ”billionaire businessman.”

“Many of my great friends on Wall Street spend hundreds of millions of dollars for art, and I guess that brings them some type of joy. I don’t comprehend it at all,” he explained.

“My feeling is no, money is for helping somebody else reach their goals and have a better life and have an opportunity to achieve their dreams.”

Gutmann ranked fourth for presidential compensation JODY FREINKEL News Editor

Only three college presidents were paid more than Amy Gutmann in 2012, the latest year with available data.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, which released its annual survey of executive compensation Monday, Gutmann was paid $2.47 million in 2012 — an 18 percent increase from the year before. She gained two spots from her sixth place ranking in 2011.

Gutmann’s compensation

package was larger than any other Penn employee. The second-highest paid employee was CEO of the Health System Ralph Muller, with $2.38 million in total compensation.

Only the presidents of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Quinnipiac University and Columbia University were paid more than Gutmann. RPI president Shirley Ann Jackson led the group with $7.14 million in total compensation.

The Chronicle’s rankings are based on total compensation, not on base salary. Gutmann logged a $1.12 million base salary for 2012.

tion — and therefore know the outcome anyway — or are not familiar with the case at all.

“I don’t think there’s any question that the student body is entitled to know the range of sanctions with each disciplinary action and how often those are given out,” LoMonte added.

But even schools with smaller student populations — such as Brown University, which has around 8,600 students compared to Penn’s 24,600 — do identify sanctions for specific disciplinary violations, even when there is only one such case. In its 2013-14 report, Brown divulged the sanctions determined by its Student Conduct Board for physical assault, distribution of drugs, harassment, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct — even when there was only one case in a given term.

Schools’ hesitancy to disclose disciplinary information is also

evident in how officials choose to talk about the decision to publish statistics. One Ivy League administrator spoke on the condition of anonymity because the university’s communications department did not authorize public comment — despite the school’s relatively transparent reporting.

The administrator wrote in an email about the importance of keeping relevance to readers in mind.

“Part of the decision to publish information in a particular way, for any school, involves considering what will be meaningful to the reader in consideration of the actual data,” the administrator wrote. “We wanted to be thoughtful about the categories in relation to the number of cases, as not to directly identify students, but still provide an accurate portrayal of the information. And because the numbers are low, we wanted to write enough description that helped to provide context to our data.”

The administrator added that

creating the document is an arduous task requiring a lot of planning and labor.

As Penn prepares to launch a new investigatory office dedicated to sexual assault, Nettleton said OSC will have more time to focus on long-term projects and education initiatives. The responsibility to report on sexual misconduct cases will fall on the new office, which will open next semester.

Currently, sexual assault statistics are more readily available on some Ivy websites than academic integrity or other conduct-related data. Columbia, for example, only releases statistics on sexual assault data to the public. Yale’s sexual misconduct reports — which multiple Ivy League disciplinary administrators called some of the most transparent due to the descriptive anecdotes of individual cases — are also the only type of disciplinary report readily available on the school’s website.

LoMonte, of the Student Press Law Center, said Yale’s in-depth reports show “it’s possible to do

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

that without the roof falling in.

Once a few colleges do that and nothing terrible happens, it will be hard for other colleges to say they can’t.”

While relatively opaque compared to Yale and Columbia’s reports, Penn has more data available on disciplinary cases than some others in the Ivy League.

Cornell, for example, has yet to develop a system of reporting, though it’s currently in the process of doing so. Previously, the school has “sporadically released cumulative statistics,” last in 2003 by request of The Cornell Daily Sun, the school’s Judicial Administrator Mary Beth Grant said in a phone interview.

Harvard’s Administrative Board website only offers an aggregate number of cases voted on, denied or rescinded for several types of sanctions in the past five years. The types of violations received are not reported.

Penn’s reports do not require a school login to access, unlike Dartmouth — for reports prior

to the previous academic year — and Princeton.

Disciplinary directors at other universities spoke of the difficulty of balancing transparency with privacy concerns.

“We want to convey to all observers that our process is fair,” Grant said. “We can’t necessarily get into the details of why it’s fair when you’re just looking at statistics.”

Leigh Remy, the director of Dartmouth’s Office of Judicial Affairs, echoed this point, explaining that the school aggregates data on cases and outcomes similar to Penn because its purpose is to “help people anticipate choices” and educate the community.

“An interest is different from a need to know,” Remy said. “A lot of times people want information because sometimes it’s just gossip [that] they’re looking for. If the need for the information is that you’re not trusting the process, I think there are other ways to do that that’s not violating student

privacy.” She said that getting involved in a school’s disciplinary process might be one way to do this.

But LoMonte said that in violent misconduct cases, public reporting by universities is “essential now that disciplinary boards are asked to handle behavior that would otherwise be federal-level criminal conduct,” where a public record would be available anyway.

Nettleton said that Penn’s process is “as transparent as we can get without violating any student privacy or confidentiality.” She added that more data is not necessary to identify key areas to work on or educate the community about.

“We need to protect that [disciplinary] process,” Nettleton said, “and we need to make sure that students and community members feel comfortable being a part of that process knowing that we’re not going to be even alluding to outcomes or info that the public doesn’t need.”

U. aims for more student involvement in Phila. mayor election Four Dems and two Republicans already declared in the election JONATHAN BAER Staff Writer

With the Philadelphia mayoral election gaining citywide momentum in anticipation for the Democratic primary on May 19, Penn students are at risk from being shut out of the process.

Next year’s race to replace Mayor Michael Nutter has already been shaping up, with four Democratic and two Republican candidates declaring their intentions to run for the position. But even though the primary elections are far away, for Penn students interested in voting, it’s important to be aware of possible conflicts.

For students, the date of the primary is tricky: With the last day of spring finals on May 12, many students will no longer be in Philadelphia for the election.

Students who are registered in Philadelphia who live elsewhere

can only vote through absentee ballot, which takes time and effort.

Nonetheless, Penn’s Office of Government and Community Affairs remains aware of the potential problem and is continuing its Penn Voter Education Task Force in order to register students to vote.

“For the spring semester, the Task Force will circulate voter registration forms and absentee ballot information to designated campus depots,” Administrative Coordinator of OGCA Jessica McIlhenny said in an email. “We will also launch an absentee ballot communications campaign on social media and host an Absentee Ballot Application Day on [Locust] Walk to inform students about [Pennsylvania]’s absentee voting process.”

While registration issues make it difficult to engage students in the mayoral election, apathy and disengagement also add to weak voter turnout. In the midterm elections on Nov. 4, polling locations at Penn saw a 23 percent

drop in voter participation from four years earlier.

Even though Penn voter turnout was weak in November, OGCA remains hard at work at engaging students in local, state and national politics.

“I’m hoping that Penn students, faculty and staff will be active throughout the campaign season by focusing on the range of important issues at the forefront,” Executive Director Dawn Maglicco Deitch said, citing the Young Involved Philadelphia Advocacy Committee and its campaign to institute same-day voter registration.

Maglicco Deitch also mentioned the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce’s initiative called the Roadmap for Growth, which involves “a whole slate of events to foster dialogue about economic growth and job creation in relation to the mayoral and city council races,” she added. “The third issue forum, which focuses on the expansion of the innovation economy in our region, will be held on Penn’s campus in early March.”

THE MAYA PROJECT | When it comes to sleep, new technology means more isn’t always better

I

t’s a typical weekday night, and I’m sitting at my computer, working on a paper or reviewing lecture slides. Someone walks by, and then I hear: “Why is your screen pink?”

As college students, it is almost impossible for most of us to get the recommended amount of sleep. Most sources, including the National Institute of Health, advise adults to get seven and a half to nine hours per night, but the average adult sleeps less than seven hours. Between midterms, papers and club commitments, and especially as finals week starts, I often find myself sleeping much less than I need in order to feel well rested. To a certain extent, it’s hard to cut down on commitments and prioritize sleep. We should, at the very least, do everything we can to maximize the quality of sleep we do get.

So why the pink screen?

I have a program called f.lux

installed on my computer that coordinates the light on your screen to the time of day. Between sunset and midnight,

proven to keep us up, because the blue light in screens late at night affects our sleep cycles.

Essentially, our circadian

In reality, our responsibilities are much more nuanced, and we often neglect to completely fulfill certain aspects of our lives.” my laptop slowly, almost unnoticeably, transitions to a pinker hue. If I’m working on an assignment late at night, anything blue appears to be purple or green.

Studies say you should avoid screen time for at least one hour before bedtime, but that’s hard to do when so much of our work relies on computers. This is why I use f.lux. Technology has been

rhythms, which are linked to the brain’s suprachiasmatic nuclei, are synced to the natural cycle of day and night, and our melatonin production spikes around bedtime, which makes us feel sleepy.

Blue light in particular blocks melatonin, meaning that staying up later working causes us to feel more awake — and thus propagates a vicious cycle. According to a

2011 study, this is related to a recently discovered photoreceptor in the eye, called melanopsin, which is specifically sensitized to light in the 460 to 480 nm range: blue light.

This means that melanopsin regulates our level of sleepiness based on blue light and the perceived time of day.

At the same time, I’ve also discovered the magic behind an efficient nap or night of sleep. Our sleep cycles work in 90 to 100 minute periods, with progressively deeper stages leading eventually into REM sleep. This is why sleeping six or seven and a half hours at night usually leaves you feeling more alert right away than getting an even eight hours. Waking at the end of a cycle, rather than having an alarm force you out of Stage 4 deep sleep, for instance, means that you won’t be as groggy and won’t take as long to get out of bed.

This principle applies to

naps as well — take a 90-minute nap if you have time. If not, even 20 or 30 minutes in the afternoon can leave you feeling alert and productive for the next few hours. Too much longer and you’ll have entered deeper sleep, and will probably feel less alert than before. If you’re extremely tired, I have yet to try a “coffee nap,” but I hear they’re highly effective. Basically, you chug a cup of coffee right before a nap, and wake up after 15 or 20 minutes to the combined alertness of the nap and stimulation of the caffeine.

There’s a standard saying about college — out of studying, socializing and sleeping, you choose two. In reality, our responsibilities are much more nuanced, and we often neglect to completely fulfill certain aspects of our lives.

I’ll readily admit that I’m almost always in a state of wanting to sleep more than I do, and that I end up priori-

P

rivilege is a word I don’t like using. Especially at a place like Penn where many of us are “privileged” in some way or another. I have too often seen it break down to a contest: who has the most qualities that society has deemed secondary, be it race, gender, ability, sexual orientation or socioeconomic class.

But privilege is the only word that comes to mind when I see the backlash against activism movements and rallies that only ask for better treatment for groups who have been mistreated in this country for too long.

The phrase “Black Lives Matter,” for example, is now sweeping across the country through social media and community protests to speak out against the proliferation of police brutality against the black community after the killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

THE MELTING POT | Standing up for the marginalized is not exclusionary — society is Despite your thoughts on these cases, it is important to realize the meanings of such a movement. One of the most harmful things you can do is dismiss it with the counterargument, “All lives matter.”

The days of segregation, of anti-miscegenation, of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ are not far behind us.

We have grown as a nation tremendously in a short amount of time, but that does not mean that we do not still have a long way to go.”

Statements like “Black Lives Matter” aren’t trying to say that black lives are more important than other lives. It is saying that black lives are just as important and valuable as everyone else’s, and urges mainstream society not to forget that. Of course, “all lives matter.” But that is not the reality of a country where mothers and fathers have

ground, to the point of dehumanization.

You may remember similar movements that had a strong presence online, such as “Yes All Women.” It rallied women everywhere because all women, despite age, race, sexuality or class, have been victims of sexual harassment and sexism.

What was the response

from men? Declarations like “Not All Men,” or statements like “men are victims, too.”

Men are victims of rape and assault, and it is just as important that they feel safe enough to seek help and justice without fear of ridicule.

But women do not have the institutional advantages that men do. Women continue to deal with domestic abuse and sexual violence in greater numbers than men, and because of gendered prejudices, silence often seems better than being further harmed by victim-blamers. Bringing attention to the unique circumstances surrounding women’s issues does just that; it is not a means of discrediting the problems of others.

Those who have the privilege of not dealing with a particular problem (e.g. institutional sexism, racism) are not used to having conversations where for once, it does not revolve around them. Yes, I know that not every man is

a sexist or rapist. I know that not everyone will judge me for the color of my skin, or that of my parents. But I continue to live in a society where I am constantly reminded that injustice will prevail, so long as we dismiss the fact of its very presence.

The days of segregation, of anti-miscegenation, of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” are not far behind us. We have grown as a nation tremendously in a short amount of time, but that does not mean that we do not still have a long way to go. When you dismiss calls to action for victims of discrimination, you remarginalize an entire group all over again.

Our prejudices are learned early. Look no further than a replicated study by professor Margaret Beale Spencer in 2010, where white children tended to associate drawings of children with their skin color with positive attributes, such as intelligence and beauty, and negative ones

Penn sees 60 percent jump in Pell Grants over seven years Pell Grants are federal grants that don’t need to be repaid BOOKYUNG JO Staff Writer

Since 2008, the number of Pell Grant recipients at Penn has risen by 60 percent.

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides financial aid that does not need to be repaid to qualifying low-income undergraduates — and 15 percent of Penn’s current freshman class received grants this year.

Director of Financial Aid Joel Carstens said that the significant

Mon & Tues- CLOSED Wed & Thurs- 5pm-9pm Fri- 11-2pm + 5-10pm Sat- 9am-2pm + 5-10pm Sun- 9am-2pm

increase in Pell Grant recipients is because of Penn’s recruiting efforts in low-income communities, which are now more aware of Penn’s all-grant, no-loan policy, launched in 2007.

The Office of Admissions’ partnerships with organizations including Questbridge and Say Yes to Education — nonprofits dedicated to giving low-income students access to higher education — have facilitated Penn’s efforts.

“Messages have been delivered intentionally to those groups of students that ‘you can achieve an Ivy League education without debt,’” Carstens said.

The overall amount of aid available through the Pell Grant

program has increased in recent years as well, from almost $14 billion in 2007 to $35.8 billion in 2011, which was the latest year with available information.

However, Carstens said that such an increase is to keep up with rising college tuition and has had little impact on the number of Pell Grants received by Penn matriculants.

Penn’s average financial aid package is $44,800, of which Pell Grants constitute about $2,000.

Carstens said that in cases when qualified students do not receive the federal grant indicated in the financial aid package, Penn covers the cost with its resources on top of the amount it has promised in

the original aid package.

“Our commitment as an institution far exceeds other assistance students might be getting,” he said.

Penn’s commitment to fulfill students’ financial need is reflected in the highest-ever undergraduate financial aid budget of $197 million for the 2015 fiscal year, a 4.5 percent increase from the previous year.

Carstens said that the Making History Campaign helped offset financial aid expenses.

“Penn is really proud of the incremental change we have made in helping to increase the socioeconomic diversity of our undergraduate body,” Carstens said.

his previous public statements and Erdely did not respond to requests for an interview.

Though facts from her reporting have been called into question, former colleagues believe Erdely has the credentials and experience to back up her reputation as a respectable journalist. A two-time National Magazine Award nominee and past Penn lecturer, Erdely has written four books, and her work has appeared in several distinguished publications, including The New Yorker and GQ. As an undergraduate at Penn, Erdely developed her passion for magazine writing while working at 34th Street, and served as its Managing Editor in 1993. She frequently returns to campus, recently speaking at the Kelly Writer’s House in September.

Erdely has become known for “taking on very tough and sensitive stories,” said Penn professor and author Stephen Fried, who has known Erdely for 20 years after working as her colleague and editor at Philadelphia Magazine. “I have always known her to be a writer and reporter of great intelligence and integrity.”

“She has a strong track record and is a very thorough and careful reporter who doesn’t cut corners,” said Eliot Kaplan, vice president of talent acquisition at Hearst Magazines who hired Erdely at Philadelphia Magazine in 1994. Kaplan is married to a member of the DP’s Board of Directors.

As many continue to attack Erdely’s decision to honor Jackie’s privacy, Roy Peter Clark, a senior scholar at the Poynter Institute, discussed the difficult decisions and negotiations required in source-reporter relations.

“It would be a good thing to provide this victim with as much protection as possible, but it would also be a good thing to give the people who were accused of a terrible crime an opportunity to hear those accusations and respond to them,” Clark said. “But these two good things conflict against one another so it’s an ethical gray area.”

Before Jackie’s account came into question, Erdely’s article sparked international conversations about sexual violence and what institutions should be doing to stop it. But since Erdely focused on one case to convey the general culture of sexual violence, some say flaws in Jackie’s story may undermine the overall discus-

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2014 sion that the article set in motion. “[Sexual assault on campus] is one of those larger issues where it’s very hard to depend on individual cases,” Clark said. “There is a tremendous amount of reporting that has to be done that instead focuses on what institutions are doing with this issue.”

Even if Jackie’s story is flawed, the facts about campus sexual assault do not change: One in five women is sexually assaulted while in college, and only 12 percent of assaults are reported.

“Victims of sexual violence are susceptible to memory loss and inconsistent notions of the details because trauma is so real and pervasive,” Joanna Kamhi, director of Penn’s student group Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention. “Even if some of the minor details were incorrect, I do not doubt for a second that Jackie was raped, and I only hope that this case doesn’t become a reason to not believe survivors when they speak out about their experiences.”

“When a story fails, it hurts the cause, but it doesn’t destroy it,” Clark said. “This is not an issue that is going to go away — in fact, it’s going to have even more attention on it.”

Rio de Janeiro, Film and Middle East Politics Renowned filmmaker wraps up his first semester teaching at Penn CAROLINE SIMON Contributing Writer

For Israeli filmmaker Eran Riklis, teaching at Penn is just another stop on a lifelong journey that shapes global experiences into successful films.

Riklis, a renowned filmmaker, taught his first and only course at Penn this semester, titled Israeli Cinema.

Riklis believes his interest in filmmaking began as a young child, when he was exposed to movies and television while living in the United States.

“It just kind of stuck with me,” he said. “At some point I realized I wanted to tell my own stories.”

Riklis’ films, primarily set in

the Middle East, often deal with politically charged situations.

However, he prefers to focus on the “role of the individual within a political world,” telling stories of ordinary people facing the challenges brought by political conflict.

Originally born in Israel, Riklis spent portions of his youth in Montreal, New York and Rio de Janeiro. After attending the National Film and Television School in England, Riklis produced his first film, “On a Clear Day You Can See Damascus.” Since then, he has produced a number of other films, including “Cup Final,” “The Syrian Bride” and “Lemon Tree”.

He said that his experience in other countries gave him the perspective that he has today. While studying at an American school in Brazil, he witnessed the social conflicts of the late 1960s “as an outsider.” That experience taught

him “what it is to look at a political situation through a personal prism.”

Riklis’ stint at Penn was made possible by a fund that sends Israeli artists to top American universities. One reason he was attracted to Penn was its location in Philadelphia.

“It’s the right city for me at this stage,” he added, praising Penn’s “huge range of human thought.”

Riklis encourages his students to take advantage of Penn’s wealth of resources as well as its diversity.

“Open yourself up to as much as you can,” he said he often tells his students. He also highlighted being curious and doubtful as a key to success.

Riklis’ latest film was released in Israel last month. Next year, he hopes to begin work on another.

“There’s always something exciting coming up,” he said.

Undergraduate Assembly cancels winter airport shuttles

They also elected a new member of the budget committee this Sunday SONIA SIDHU Staff Writer

At the final Undergraduate Assembly meeting of the semester, the UA passed a resolution that cancels winter airport shuttles and held internal elections for a member of the budget committee.

AIRPORT SHUTTLES The UA passed a resolution by a vote of 20-7-5 to find alternative modes of transportation for students in the winter. As a result, the winter break airport shuttles will not be running this year.

After looking at the cost and

logistical problems of winter airport shuttles, UA Vice President and College senior Joshua Chilcote said that the cost was increasing each year, making the price of tickets increase as well.

Eventually, the UA wants the price of airport shuttles to be $5 instead of $6.50, the price of the Thanksgiving shuttles this year.

Because Thanksgiving shuttles lead to a profit and spring break shuttles lead to a loss, running shuttles at only these two times would allow the UA to break even and continue to price the shuttles and have a sustainable model.

Chilcote noted that the current price of $6.50 is almost the same as taking public transportation or splitting a cab to the airport.

Alternative options include the Lady Liberty shuttle or taking

SEPTA regional rail.

UA representative and College junior Aidan McConnell said that it was too late to cancel airport shuttles for this year. College sophomore Marc Petrine agreed, saying that the UA should see if ticket sales and the profits increase with the new online ticket buying system.

The UA does not offer shuttles at the end of spring semester and some UA members thought that this was a good parallel to draw when making their decision.

College sophomore and last year’s Airport Shuttle Coordinator Kat McKay said that it was very difficult to fill up airport shuttles during the winter because there is a greater spread of the days and times students choose to leave.

The UA is looking into adver-

BUDGET COMMITTEE ELECTIONS The UA also elected Engineering junior and UA representative Jacob Henner to sit on the budget committee. The budget committee will help work with student groups and be in charge of student government funding, including UA contingency funding.

Two other UA representatives ran for the position. Henner said that he wants to examine what groups have the need for funding and help the rest of the budget committee ensure that the contingency funding process runs smoothly.

‘American without papers’: Jose Antonio Vargas talks immigration

TIFFANY PHAM/PHOTO MANAGER-ELECT

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas spoke today at an event co-organized by Penn Philippine Association, SPEC Connaissance, Penn for Immigrant Rights, Queer People of Color and Penn Queer and Asian.

The Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist spoke yesterday BRYN FERGUSON Contributing Writer

Jose Antonio Vargas is out to redefine what it means to be American.

On Monday, the Penn Philippine Association, Penn for Immigrant Rights, Social Planning and Events Committee Connaissance, Queer People of Color and Penn Queer and Asian hosted “I am an American Without Papers,” a talk by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and filmmaker Jose Antonio Vargas, who recounted his immigration to the United States and discussed questions of undocumented immigration and race.

Vargas was born in the Philippines and was sent by his mother to live with his grandparents illegally when he was 12 years old.

He kept his immigration status a secret until 2011 when, against the advice of around 30 lawyers,

he wrote an essay in the New York Times about the lengths he was forced to go to over the years to stay in the U.S. On June 25, 2012 he wrote a follow-up article in Time Magazine called “Not Legal, Not Leaving” in response to the lack of response to his public “coming out” from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is responsible for deporting illegal immigrants.

“Now I’m un-deportable,” Vargas said. But for the last three years, he has dedicated his career to raising awareness about undocumented Americans and “taking immigration out of this MexicoLatino box that we’ve placed it in,” he said.

He founded Define American in 2011, which he defined as a “media and culture organization that changes how we talk about race and citizenship in a changing America.”

In 2014, Vargas wrote, produced and directed “Documented,” a documentary which was broadcasted by CNN Films.

“We look for a diverse variety of speakers and we look to disrupt the discourse on campus,” College senior and Director of SPEC Connaissance Gabriel Jimenez said regarding the decision to bring Vargas to campus.

President of the Penn Philippine Association and College senior Kanad Ghosh added that Vargas “really represents such a rich intersection of queer, AsianAmerican and undocumented, making him a powerful voice.”

“It’s really important to engage young people,” Vargas said of deciding to speak at college campuses. He stated that he wants to create a culture of awareness about immigration rights, just like the developing culture of LBGT awareness that has led to Gay-Straight Alliances in high schools.

Next month, Vargas will begin filming a documentary for MTV about what it means to be young and white in America, and will travel to 10 — so far undecided — college campuses across the country to interview students.

‘91 in the family now’ A lot has changed for Jon Huntsman since he’s made his billions. During his Penn days he was unable to afford a ticket home on breaks and resorted to hitchhiking his way across the country. When he came to visit Penn a few weeks ago, he took his Gulfstream jet. But his fortune has never made him lose sight of what’s most important to him: his family.

“We have 91 in the family now, counting children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their spouses,” he said.

“Fortunately, I have a very fine assistant who keeps track of all the anniversaries and birthdays and all the important holidays for our faith.”

Huntsman takes special occasions in his family very seriously. No matter how old or young, each child, grandchild and great grandchild gets a heartfelt, handwritten note with flowers or balloons to celebrate their important day.

Abby Huntsman, one of the oldest of Huntsman’s 56 grandchildren and a co-host of MSNBC’s “The Cycle,” always looks forward to getting her birthday letter from her grandfather.

“I have so many notes saved up from him over the years in a special box,” the 2008 College graduate said. “Very few people write the way that he does and make you feel the way that he does.”

In the Huntsman family, Wharton and Penn have always held a special place for almost everyone, whether or not they ended up as Quakers. Three of Huntsman’s sons — David, Paul and Jon Jr. — hold Penn degrees, as well as granddaughters Allison, Elizabeth, Abigail and Jacqueline. Several spouses of his children and grandchildren are also Penn alums. Currently, two family members are enrolled at Penn: grandson Richard Durham and Allison’s husband, Joseph Morgan, a Wharton senior.

“All of the boys in our family wear the Penn colors very proudly, even if they didn’t attend Penn. It’s a huge part of our family because it’s been a huge part of my grandfather’s life,” said Elizabeth Huntsman, a 2011 College graduate.

Huntsman is also known for his sense of humor. His children used to wake up on Christmas morning to a ransacked home and would find out from their dad that he and Santa had a

declined since Fran Dunphy’s departure from the Palestra and that significant steps must be taken to rectify the situation this season.

Calhoun has even elucidated that no individual understands the program’s recent failings more than Allen. Time and again, the man who won three Ivy championships as a player has explained that “at the end of the day, turning Penn basketball around” is on him.

A vast majority of the intrigue surrounding Calhoun’s decision doesn’t even stem from what happens on the court this year. For some, a .500 record may cut it.

Others will demand an Ivy title or a new coach with no room for negotiation in between.

then there isn’t much they can do to change the unfortunate consequences of winter and spring break.

That’s because with the way the Ivy schedule and spring break line up, there is often no respite from this possibility. Two years ago, the game at the Palestra happened to fall on the Tuesday after spring break, a lucky occurrence with the calendar.

As for the first matchup, the game has to be scheduled around Princeton’s reading days, which take up much of January. The Tigers’ squad goes on hiatus for two weeks after this year’s game to prepare for exams before returning for a meaningless matchup with Division III Rowan.

So is the desire for the games to not be during breaks futile, and is this something unavoidable?

SPORTS 13

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2014

But the true question that Calhoun must answer moving forward is to whom will she attempt to appeal when evaluating Allen’s status.

Between those that comment on Daily Pennsylvanian articles, discouraged former players and graduates who remember the days “when Penn basketball meant something,” a sizable portion of alumni have expressed their desire for change. When some of those individuals are contributing financially to the program, you’re bound to hear plenty of opinions.

If Calhoun responds to the pressure of a fanbase that sees no room for reconciliation for Allen, it wouldn’t be a novel occurrence.

But if Calhoun is smart, she may realize that the cure for the apathy of current students may not be to try to appeal to alumni.

Absolutely not.

As recently as four years ago, the first matchup with Penn and Princeton occurred during the middle of the Ancient Eight season, happening on a Tuesday in between Ivy doubleheaders.

And three seasons ago, the two teams took the floor at the Palestra on a Monday in late January. The game was still the Ivy opener for both squads but also had the benefit of coming after Princeton’s reading days.

That game, for which only the current senior class was at Penn, was one of the most packed in recent memory, inspiring a large crowd that saw Penn pull off a captivating 82-67 victory.

Ultimately, it shouldn’t be too hard to schedule the first matchup later into the year. With classes more in full swing and Ivy doubleheaders starting up, it would be a slightly larger burden for the student-athletes from each school, playing more games mid-

It’s possible that she may double down on the glimmer of hope Allen brings for the future.

While the Quakers’ first seven games haven’t been pretty, the squad has seen several freshmen turn in standout performances.

Though Penn’s reliance on rookies won’t stop anytime soon, a talented freshmen class — with an even more loaded one on the way next year — could be the first step towards a return to normalcy.

Whichever of these factors Calhoun looks at when evaluating Allen after the season, her decision will speak volumes about the rest of her tenure with Penn Athletics.

But that is a small burden compared to the boost each team would get with a larger fan contingent in attendance.

In the end, that’s what the Penn-Princeton rivalry is all about: coming out to show school spirit in the one athletic rivalry that everyone on campus acknowledges.

This season, the two schools will tip off for the 231st and 232nd time in the historic matchup on dates that are inconvenient for the majority of Penn’s student body.

But that is this year. It absolutely shouldn’t become a trend, especially if you want students to be engaged with the best of Penn traditions.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

The season started out slow, but don’t count Penn basketball out

I

t seems that there are four constants in the world today (to borrow a frequently posted tweet from CBS college basketball insider Jon Rothstein): Death. Taxes. Bo Ryan.

And a chorus of people deploring the current state of Penn basketball, whether it be in the DP’s comment boxes, the Basketball U forums or otherwise.

But through seven games, the Quakers have shown in spurts that reports of the program’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

By and large, the questions that plagued this year’s roster have received encouraging answers, albeit tentatively so.

Tony Hicks — who easily could have punched himself a ticket off the roster with his punch of Columbia’s Meiko Lyles last year — is playing with the mentality of a senior.

The junior guard picked up two quick fouls against Binghamton on Saturday, a situation in which a younger version of the player

Now compare that with the strategic purpose of the Univer-

likely would have folded.

But coming off the bench in the second half, Hicks responded in a big way, pouring in 18 points in 16 minutes and hitting all the big shots necessary to make sure the Bearcats stayed down. “I thought Tony was phenomenal last game in keeping his composure and showing his growth,� coach Jerome Allen said.

Hicks’ success comes with a caveat, though. Tasked with running the point on many of Penn’s offensive sets, he has turned the ball over at a high rate (25 turnovers compared to 27 assists), an epidemic that has plagued the Red and Blue as a whole.

The turnover problem is an old canard that dates back to last year, but the one silver lining that could be drawn is that the offenders this season have mostly been freshmen adjusting to the college game. Freshmen make freshman mistakes.

But that excuse won’t fly for long, considering how well the four freshmen that have received regular minutes so far have performed in other aspects of the game.

Forward Mike Auger showed flashes of his immense potential before he hurt his foot. Sam Jones is shooting 39 percent from deep and has been more than serviceable as a spot-up shooter. Darnell Foreman has struggled from the field, but crashes the defensive glass and is a solid on-ball defender. Antonio Woods has run the point well off the bench.

Most importantly, the freshmen have stuck together. While Penn fans often thought “here we go again� during the team’s five-game losing streak to open the season, the Quakers did not, perhaps aided by the fact that so many on the roster have never experienced it before. “We have a strong bond. Not just the freshmen, but the whole team. So we come together as one,� Woods said.

Allen places the blame for the turnover problem on himself, as he is apt to do when things go awry on his ship. “[I need to] put these guys in a position to succeed, explaining time and spacing, helping them with their overall vision and just helping them to establish a certain sense of poise about them when defenses try to speed us

up,� he said.

The Quakers have certainly demonstrated poise in their most recent pair of games, putting Navy and Binghamton away after they gagged away an opportunity at Wagner.

Some will point to the fact that the Quakers managed to beat a pair of teams ranked 333rd and 338th overall by Ken Pomeroy’s ratings, and that any such celebration of these victories is a further sign of the program’s demise.

Yet the fact of the matter is that Penn lowered the bar for itself when it posted back-to-back seasons with single-digit win totals.

If the Quakers are to climb back to relevance in the Ivy League from rock bottom, they’ll need to pass certain benchmarks. Winning consecutive road games — regardless of the quality of opponent — certainly counts as such.

And for now, the Red and Blue will take it.

sity of Florida, an SEC school with a long list of NCAA titles: “Provide a championship experience with integrity on and off the field for student-athletes and the Gator Nation.�

Notice how the first priority set forth in Penn’s mission statement is the “educational experience� of students, whereas

Florida’s emphasizes the “championship experience.� In fact, Penn does not express its commitment to excellence in athletics until the third and final sentence of its mission statement: This commitment to academics is exactly what makes the Penn athletic community special.

Just consider the numbers:

According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Education, in Division I athletics, 82 percent of freshmen scholarship student-athletes who entered college in 2004 successfully graduated. Although Penn does not offer athletic scholarships, 96 percent of the University’s student-athletes enrolling as of 2004 graduated.

The Red and Blue’s success does not stop there. Seventeen of Penn’s 28 eligible teams received Public Recognition commendations from the NCAA for maintaining academic indexes in the top 10 percent among all Division I programs in their sport, according to a press release by the University on July 1, 2014.

Furthermore, this element of academic excellence is one of Penn’s biggest assets in recruit-

ing. What better way to sell our school to prospective studentathletes than as a top-ranked national university. While winning Ivy League crowns may be in the back of recruits’ minds, the gleam of a conference title is not as bright as the educational value that comes with a Penn degree.

Here in the Ivy League, we pride ourselves in doing it all — strong academics, strong athletics, strong communities. Penn may not be able to keep up with the big-name programs that haul in millions of dollars in television broadcasting contracts, whose players’ fame reaches supernova proportions matched only by professional athletes.

But college sports aren’t about who has the most Twitter followers or how frequently your name is searched on Google. It’s about

The low cost of watching seven movies on iTunes for less than 30 bucks is worth the many conveniences that online paid services afford us: not being interrupted by incessant buffering and commercials, the immunity to computer viruses and most importantly, not having to wait 54 minutes after watching 72 minutes of a movie on Megavideo.

Not to mention, it’s a small price to pay when you look at the big picture — the combined savings of the 47.7% of Penn students who pay for their online services rather than going to the movie theater is somewhere between $196,136 and $295,344, depending on whether they use Netflix or iTunes, respectively.

classes next year and should contend once again, keeping this season’s lessons in mind.

On the women’s side of the pitch, it was a perfect storm of injuries, inexperience and, as coach Darren Ambrose said after a loss to Dartmouth, players not “perform[ing] at the level they’re expected to.”

But out of all that comes one clear bright spot: the experience garnered by younger players.

Freshman Juliana Provini ended the year as the team’s leader in points, as the freshman class combined for 28 starts.

In spite of the injuries and, at one point, the benching of key players, the Quakers finished in the middle of the conference and aren’t too many steps from contending for a title.

So yes, it may have seemed like a lost season for some fall programs, but the Quakers have plenty of lessons to take away.

Don’t look at this past season for its (lack of) titles. Look at it for its promise.

It may not have been quite the fall to remember that Grace Calhoun had hoped for, but across the program seeds were sown for future success.

as a group shoutout at Penn Relays would go a long way in getting the club in Penn Athletics’ good graces.

Small gestures like this may seem insignificant in the short-term, but over the years, they will help the athletic administration reach a critical mass of converted students and combat student apathy.

Calhoun has proven that she has a solid grasp of the issue at hand, but it’s time to take the next step towards solving it.

o matter what Penn basketball accomplishes — or doesn’t accomplish — this year, every single narrative surrounding the program will tie into the degree of proverbial heat underneath the chair of a certain coach in his fifth full season.

“The Quakers started 0-5.

The last guy to do that got the ax.”

“Penn won eight games last year with four elite players.

It’ll be scary to see how bad things get this season with so much inexperience.”

We’ve heard all sorts of statements along those lines.

And the season isn’t even a month old.

Needless to say, even with the dominant storyline and dissenting commentators, it is too early to tell whether the Jerome Allen coaching era at Penn will make it past the Quakers’ date with Princeton at the Palestra on March 10.

Education on and off the field

HOLDEN MCGINNIS/SPORTS EDITOR

Having won only 17 games in the past two seasons, Penn basketball coach Jerome Allen is on the hot seat, a situation that will provide Grace Calhoun with her first tough decision as AD.

Yet no matter how many games the Red and Blue manage to win over the course of the next three months, new Athletic Director Grace Calhoun will have to make a firm, public decision regarding Allen’s future once the season concludes.

That seems obvious. But why is that the case?

It was evident from the moment former Athletic Director Steve Bilsky announced his retirement that Allen would remain at the helm moving forward, a consequence of the former’s desire to keep his last move as AD from being the

hen was the last time you heard of a Penn athlete who achieved national celebrity status? For most current Penn students, the answer to this question is probably “never.”

This is not necessarily a problem of student apathy towards Penn Athletics, however, but rather a reflection of Penn’s priorities as a university. Penn is, first and foremost, an academic institution. With the notable exception of the Penn Relays, the University’s sports garner hardly any national attention. Penn’s star athletes stride in anonymity beside us down Locust — only their red PowerAde water bottles hint at their athletic prowess.

At first glance, Penn’s model for athletics does not differ too much from any other university.

The University fields 31 sports teams with about 10 percent of its student body competing in NCAA Division I athletics. But the Penn athletic community is made up of student-athletes.

This distinction is evident in the mission statement of Penn Athletics. It reads, “The University of Pennsylvania is dedicated to providing a wide array of athletic opportunities on both the intercollegiate and recreational levels, which will enhance and

dismissal of his second handpicked coach regardless of last season’s win total.

So when Calhoun took over for Bilsky in July, the onus of evaluating and ultimately executing a decision regarding the most high-profile position within Penn Athletics fell on her shoulders.

Since her hiring, Calhoun has demonstrated a clear understanding of where the program currently is positioned. The first female athletic director in Big 5 history has acknowledged that Penn basketball has SEE STEELE PAGE 13

Student attendance still lacking COLIN HENDERSON

ow that it is about to wrap up, what can we say about Grace Calhoun’s first semester as Penn’s athletic director?

First of all, and most obviously, things have not gone very well on the field. Apart from junior runner Thomas Awad’s world-beating performances, Penn Athletics failed to produce a single fall team that looked like a true Ivy title contender.

Putting the blame on Calhoun for this is asinine; after all, these are the teams she inherited.

However, things have also looked grim in an area where she can exercise more immediate control: student attendance.

It’s no secret that Penn Athletics has a serious problem on its hands in terms of student apathy. In fact, it’s pretty much become a part of campus-wide culture (and is also an issue at many other schools nationally) What the root of the problem is, I cannot know for sure. The lackluster performances on the field in recent years almost certainly have contributed to it.

But regardless of how unconvincing the results on the field have been, the inevitably empty stands at just about every home contest for just about every Red and Blue squad are evidence that the administration has not done enough over the past few years to connect to students and SEE HENDERSON PAGE 15

here are few athletic events that are relative must-sees on the Penn calendar.

Homecoming. The annual Penn-Princeton matchup at

the Palestra. Penn Relays.

Unfortunately for Penn, the Penn-Princeton basketball home game will be played during spring break.

That’s right: One of the few sporting events that tends to bring out fans by the thousand instead of the dozen occurs at a time when the student body isn’t even on campus.

away, so can’t everyone attend without too much of an issue?

Not at all, for that game comes during Penn’s winter break.

This is the second straight year that the annual PennPrinceton matchups have come during winter and spring break, respectively, something that absolutely needs to change moving forward.

The next question you may ask is, “What can the universities actually do about the schedule?”

As stated above, the two schools play twice a year, which tends to bookend the Ivy season. If both Penn and Princeton were committed to begin and end the Ivy season with the historic matchup, SEE TYDINGS PAGE 13
