‘Breaking Bad’ creator talks path to success

BY SIOBHAN ROONEY Contributing Writer

Luke Chen/Weekly Pennsylvanian Editor

Vince Gilligan, creator of award-winning television show “Breaking Bad,” was hosted at Irvine Auditorium yesterday by SPEC’s Film and SPEC Connaissance. Gilligan claimed to be a “boring” guy in his real life.

“Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan is a “boring” guy in real life.

Or so he says. “When I’m writing is when I get to be exciting,” he said.

Gilligan — the director, writer and creator of award-winning show “Breaking Bad” — spoke at Irvine Auditorium in front of hundreds of students on Tuesday. He was hosted by the Social Planning and Events Committee’s Film and Connaissance committees.

Gilligan graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1989. “I always knew what I wanted to do, I had direction,” he said. “I got very lucky out of college, I was very fortunate.”

Following his early success as a filmmaker, Gilligan made the transition to television writing for the science fiction series “The X-Files” in the mid-1990s.

“I’ve never looked back,” he said. “Working in television ... it’s a lot more hard work, but it’s a lot more satisfying.”

His interest in science fiction was the spark that originally drew him to the industry. “Star Wars changed my life,” he said.

Despite his love of the genre, Gilligan was initially hesitant about his move to Los Angeles to write for “The X-Files.”

“I wasn’t sure if I was capable of rising to the challenge,” he said, referencing the difficulty of meeting deadlines. Gilligan noted that his film past was mainly in comedy.

The comed ic nature of “Breaking Bad” is a theme that resonates among the show’s countless fans. Treading the line between the grim, morally questionable and downright hilarious, one of the lessons Gilligan took away from his early days on the LA television scene was the importance of honest humor. When writing “intense, dramatic ... [comedy] makes it a little more palatable,” he said.

Throughout the question and answer portion of the event, Gilligan credited his earliest mentors, as well as the cinematographers, directors, writers, experts and actors of “Breaking Bad.”

“Another one of the things about TV I love is it’s a collaborative effort,” he said. “It’s wonderful to work on something so much bigger than yourself that you had a hand in.”

“I love, love, love Stanley Kubrick,” Gilligan said. Other film favorites include “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now,” because “it doesn’t get any better than that. ... Man, how [you] I compete?” he said. “You don’t, you use them as inspiration.”

With “Breaking Bad,” Gilligan tried to portray a good character’s transition into “the bad guy.” But he didn’t set out to tell a moral tale. “It was not necessarily a desire to define or relate to a sort of morality,” he said.

A member of the audience asked Gilligan if he ever played any role in making meth himself. “I didn’t have an understanding of how to make it ... when I started writing the pilot [of ‘Breaking Bad’] I just Googled ‘meth,’” he laughed.

“I don’t say it with any pride, but I hear blue meth is a real thing now,” he added.

A. Eugene Kohn is a nationally successful architect and chairman of the largest achitecture firm in the country. A 1953 and 1957 alumnus he is the architect behind Huntsman Hall and the Children’s Hopsital of Philadelphia. He spoke at Penn last week.

Q&A | The DP sat down with A. Eugene Kohn, who designed the Wharton hub

BY YUEQI YANG Staff Writer A. Eugene Kohn, the architect of Huntsman Hall, visited Penn last Thursday to give a speech on his career in architecture. The founder and chairman of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the architecture firm behind the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the renovated Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Kohn received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from Penn in 1953 and 1957, respectively. He served in the United States Navy for three years before returning to Penn for his master’s degree. The Daily Pennsylvanian had the opportunity to talk to him about stories behind Huntsman Hall.

The Daily Pennsylvanian: Why does Huntsman Hall look like this?

A. Eugene Kohn: You’d like to think that it is the architect’s vision, but in reality there are many forces. One is the University itself and their view of themselves at the time — the administrations and trustees. The building was designed to represent Penn’s history. The building was to be stable, and parts of the materials are traditional.

But it is still a modern building, using

those materials. From the energy point of view, this works pretty well as well.

So it was about stability. It was about being part of the campus, yet moving the campus up.

Wharton is [an] undergraduate and graduate school. You want a place where they come together. It was intended primarily for graduates and undergrads and professors to have a place to be and to talk casually and exchange information. That was the main purpose.

If we would use pink or green, things that aren’t really part of the campus but would really stand out, it may not relate to the school. So consistency is good. There is a sense of order.

DP: I’ve noticed that the color of Huntsman Hall is very similar to that of Fisher Fine Arts Library.

AEK: That’s one of my favorite buildings. ... If you look at that building, that’s old Penn. It says something about [permanence] and something about stability.

[Huntsman Hall] is about confidence. It’s about power. In a way, it represents a strong point about what business is about — strength, leadership and something that’s going to run for a long long time.

The other thing is the shape of the building is round. It really provides equality for all the professors. The

offices are the same. Views are different depending where you are, but the whole idea was [that] there were no corners. If somebody has a corner office, that’s more important. Everybody has a similar office. So that was a democratic gesture to the professors.

DP: Before you came to Penn, did you know that you wanted to study architecture?

AEK: I was not sure about being an architect. I painted as a boy and I drew. Liked buildings and models. I played the piano. So it was artistic. My mother is a great designer — clothes.

Actually in her 100s, she had a show at the Guggenheim. My background was a lot about art and creativity. So falling into architecture is kind of natural.

But I wanted to be a sportscaster ... I like sports.

My father was from the medical [field]. He is a researcher and a doctor, so he would preferred [I] go into medicine. But my mom loves the arts, so I chose [the arts]. I also thought about law ... I wasn’t sure.

When I came to Penn, the dean back then told me ‘you should study architecture. Even if you don’t become one, the education here is outstanding.

You can still do a lot of things. You still study physics, math, language, history and English.’ I listened to him. I came here to the architecture school. Then I discovered that I liked it.

Mannequin patients, pneumonia and Benadryl Reporter’s Notebook | A visit to a Nursing simulation lab

BY ALEX GETSOS Staff Writer A patient comes in and complains of cold-like symptoms.

Her past medical history includes an open reduction internal fixation of the right hip — more commonly known as a hip replacement. Her CO2 levels and her white blood cell count are both elevated, and her hemoglobin and platelet counts are normal.

Two Nursing students are asked to volunteer to come and assess the patient, who is laying on a hospital bed.

They clean their hands, check the patients’ ABCs — airway, breathing and circulation — and see if she is responsive.

“How are you feeling?” a female Nursing student asks.

“I’m feeling a little short of breath,” Justine Pamiloza, the coordinator of the nursing simulation lab responds, providing the voice of the patient, in this case a mannequin.

This is a typical scenario given to Penn students in simulation labs, a class that composes a core part of the School of Nursing’s curriculum. Students are given the opportunity to practice procedures and assessments on realistic mannequins — ones that breath, cough and have their very own vital signs — so that students are prepared for a real hospital environment.

“Do you know who the president is?” a male student asks to gauge the patient’s responsiveness.

“I think it’s Obama.”

The students then ask the patient about her allergies, check her breathing using a stethoscope and assess her status based on vital signs given by the instructor: blood

pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature.

“She has a fever, she’s tachycardic , she has low oxygen saturation, her lung sounds are diminished,” the student states.

The simulation is long but moves so rapidly that I oftentimes don’t pick up on the intricacies of what the students say.

Based on this assessment and feedback from the patient, students are expected to respond appropriately whether it be by starting an IV, administering drugs or antibiotics or “calling” the doctor or nurse practitioner.

“Take a couple of deep breaths for me and try to cough,” the female student says to the patient.

Based on a fake chest x-ray “ordered” by the instructor, the patient is ordered to be given ANSEF, an antibiotic used for patients in respiratory distress or generally having trouble breathing.

The students debrief after the patient is fully assessed.

Two additional students are asked to volunteer for the second part of the simulation.

The patient has started sweating a bit. Her pain has gotten more uncomfortable and she can’t catch her breath.

Since the medicine was administered, her throat has been itchy and tight.

“We’re concerned about anaphylaxis,” the female Nursing student says. “She’s wheezing and there is redness on her skin.”

I am amazed at how life-like these mannequins are. When I arrived at the simulation lab, it was just me and the inanimate mannequins, which were now

sim men and women, breathing and making human-like noises.

The students determine that the patient needs a nebulizer to help with her breathing, as well as an IV and Benadryl.

“I’m going to get you some medicine to clear up your lungs a bit, it’s called Albuterol — it might make you a little jittery but it’s meant to open up your lungs,” the male student says.

The students constantly check to make sure it’s the right time, right patient and right dosage in addition to doing bed checks where they ask the patient’s name and date of birth.

This simulation was intended to teach students how to properly assess a patient who presented with pneumonia and developed an allergic reaction to the medicine prescribed to her, calling for further treatment to reverse the reaction.

The positive feedback from classmates includes “good therapeutic communication” and “explaining everything in a clear, professional manner.”

The instructor explains that the simulation is important to understand what a real emergency room or operating room would be like. She stresses that keeping the patient calm is essential.

“What do you do when you walk into a room and the patient is mentating fine but they feel a little funny?” Pamilozaasks. “You want them to stay calm, talk them through it, tell them you think they’re going through something and that you’re going to call the doctor or nurse practitioner.”

“In real life nursing you’re doing everything and a top priority is notifying the physician, but it’s important to get the nursing assessment done prior to doing that,” she said.

Sounding off on the Israel-Palestine conflict Writer Peter Beinart spoke about West Bank politics last night at Hillel

the Reform Jewish Community at Penn, Penn Government and Politics Association, Penn Political Coalition, Wharton Business and Politics Association and the Political Science Department.

Beinart discussed what he believes to be a “silence in the American Jewish community regarding Israeli settlements in the West Bank.”

“American Jewish children today are growing up with unprecedented power and privilege,” he said. “[They are] seeing Israel as a super power in the Middle East.”

Beinart believes that the Jewish diaspora of today has enough influence to encourage or discourage further peace negotiations with the Palestin-

BY COREY STERN Contributing Writer Israel might be creating some of its own biggest challenges, according to writer Peter Beinhart.

On Tuesday, Penn students gathered in the upstairs lounge of Hillel to listen to a presentation from Beinart, an author and columnist for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The event focused on the role of the American Jewish community in the future of Israel.

It was sponsored by J-Street U Penn as well as the Hillel Israel Sector, Hillel Education,

ians.

“Even if I concede everything nasty someone could say about the Palestinians, it is not the Palestinians who are paying Israelis to move into the West Bank,” Beinart said. “By supporting settlement growth, [Israelis] are pushing Palestinians in the direction we don’t want them to go.”

Beinart also thinks settlement growth encourages more Palestinians to support Islamic militant organizations Hezbollah and Hamas.

Despite his criticism of Israel, Beinart explained that Palestinians are also to blame.

He condemned Palestinian engagement in “grotesque terrorism” against Israeli citizens.

Following the presentation, Beinart took questions from the audience in a session moderated by Hillel Rabbi Mike Uram. He fielded questions on topics ranging from the BDS movement to the political divide within the Jewish community and the potential release of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.

Can dogs look up?

THE QUAKING POINT | Even in the age of (mis)information, having an opinion doesn’t make you right — only loud

O

f the many things that make “Shaun of the Dead” a cult classic, one that stands out is the protagonists’ movie-long dispute over whether dogs can look up.

What seems like an inane and insignificant question (whose answer is a resounding “duh”) has been given an absurd amount of deliberation online. Some genuinely wonder, while most just see it as a good prank. After reading the revelations of random bloggers, Yahoo Answers and even Howitworks. com, one walks away surprisingly less certain than before — and the dog question is just the tip of the iceberg.

In theory, we’d be able to turn to the internet for reliable answers. The previous generation sees it as some kind of oracle: Consult the almighty Google, and all shall be revealed.

Unfortunately, it isn’t quite

like that. Everyone has an opinion, and the modern marketplace of ideas is giving pretty much anybody a place to share, leaving readers with a mishmash of conflicting opinions and no idea whom to trust.

T.S. Eliot once wrote that the critic has a duty “to discipline his personal prejudices and cranks … and compose his differences with as many of his fellows as possible, in the common pursuit of true judgment.”

While he was writing mainly about literary criticism, the general sentiment points to a gaping and universal issue: the need for objectivity.

If only it were as simple as Eliot makes it sound. It’s like the tragedy of the commons: People wave their opinions around — some of them better informed and reasoned than others — and the public forum becomes saturated with misinformation.

For example, people trust their computers for medical advice

far more than they should. According to the good digital doctors of MayoClinic.com, pretty much everything from fatigue to that pimple on your chin is a sign of cancer.

‘‘

It’s like the tragedy of the commons: people wave their opinions around … and the public forum becomes saturated with misinformation.”

Objectivity is under attack.

Each side is shooting off its claims, and those of us looking for answers are getting caught in the crossfire. Slowly but surely, the internet is turning into an informational wasteland.

How do we stay objective? In

a world of opinion, superficial argument and feigned expertise, has objectivity become a lost cause?

Most importantly, what about dogs — can they or can they not look up?

It would help to reframe the idea of objectivity. Rather than thinking of it as something attainable, we should treat it as an ideal toward which to strive.

It might always be just out of reach, but there are a few basic things we can all do to get asymptotically closer.

We could all start by listening more than we talk. Giving each other respect and attention would have two benefits. First, it would assure our allies and opponents that they’ll be taken seriously, convincing everyone to turn the volume down and lessening the collective earache. Second, it will remind us to consider other perspectives — not every question has only one answer.

We could also take a lesson from David Hume, who popularized what philosophers call the “is/ought discrepancy.” What happens to be the case and how it ought to be are two different things. Perhaps the most important part of objectivity is staying true to the facts, no matter your ideology. Be honest about what the evidence tells you, and store it separately from your normative commitments. That alone would be a great start.

Let’s discuss the persecution complex

THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE | Not getting special privileges for your religion is not marginalization; it’s equality

I

n her recent guest column in the DP, entitled “Let’s discuss sensitivity,” Shana Frankel asks: “Why do I, as a religious Jewish student, feel marginalized in my college experience” when we claim to be such a politically correct and culturally sensitive campus?

I believe Shana is sincerely presenting her feeling of marginalization, but I have the same question: Why does she feel marginalized? The examples she gave of marginalization struck me as poor justification.

According to data collected

by Hillel, Jewish students make up 30 percent of the student body at Penn. For comparison, American Jews make up less than 2 percent of the United States population and less than 0.25 percent of the world population. In addition, Hillel is easily the single most influential religious organization on campus, hosting over 50

student groups and representing a more powerful national organization.

So please forgive me if I’m reluctant to accept claims of marginalization from Penn’s Jewish community. Still, let’s look at the specific claims in more detail.

Shana writes, “When I go to an event advertising food ... My first thought is, ‘Is it worthwhile going to this event when I cannot eat anything here because I keep kosher?’”

First, I understand that free food is a draw for college students, but if the only reason you’re attending the event is for the food, perhaps you’re simply not interested in the event.

More importantly, this complaint boils down to, “I’m being offered free food but I don’t want to eat it.” I fail to see how adding “because of my religion” to that summary would constitute marginalization. Keeping kosher, unlike a food allergy, is a free choice to restrict your

own options.

However, the most important example Shana provides of “structural marginalization” is

‘‘

Shana. “Asking for time off from class when I am spending nearly $50,000 a year ... is marginalizing.”

I paid roughly $250 for that hour of education [that was cancelled for Yom Kippur], and it was not provided so that a religion I don’t follow could be accomodated.”

“Penn’s policy on religious and secular holidays.” She correctly points out that professors are required to make allowances for religious absences, allow students to make up work and to schedule homework and exams around the more observed and well-known holidays. To me, this seems a fairly reasonable accommodation.

But Shana is not content with the current process. “I should not have to defend my need of missing class due to my religious observance,” writes

So the official school policy gives Shana an unquestionable reason to miss class and requires professors to work around her religious calendar when scheduling exams, all for the meager fee of talking to her professor, and that’s “structural marginalization?”

If that counts, then what about when my class of 100plus students had a lecture canceled outright for Yom Kippur because roughly 15 students in the class were Jewish? By my estimates, I paid roughly $250

for that hour of education, and it was not provided so that a religion I don’t follow could be accommodated.

Also, as an atheist, I imagine I would have a much harder time qualifying for the same exemption if I wanted to celebrate the National Day of Reason, Darwin Day or any other equally made-up holiday. Yet Shana’s made-up holiday automatically gets special accommodation because it’s her religion.

David McDevitt, president of the Drexel Freethought Society, put it best in the comments: “Having you follow the same procedure as everyone else is not marginalizing, it’s treating you equally.”

In case you still think Penn should be more accommodating, I want to leave you with the story of J. Paul Grayson.

Grayson, a sociology professor at York University, rejected a request by a religious student to be exempt from group work because his religion would not

Like a good sociologist, Grayson surveyed another class to gauge their reaction to the plan.

The female students in particular were outraged.

Is this the sort of response we should also expect from Penn administrators? I think not.

New buildings, spaces added to Penn Medicine

The expansion will help Penn Medicine serve ‘a new marketplace’

BY ALEX GETSOS Staff Writer Just when you think Penn’s wide-ranging campus couldn’t

get any bigger and better — it does.

Penn Medicine, in an attempt to meet its ever-growing needs, is adding a number of new buildings and spaces to the Penn family: the Penn Medicine Washington Square building at Pennsylvania Hospital, Penn Medicine Univer-

sity City at 38th and Market streets, the Henry A. Jordan Medical Education Center on top of the Perelman Center and the trauma center and Pavilion for Advanced Care at Penn Presbyterian.

According to Vice Dean for Integrative Services for the Perelman School of Medicine

Kevin Mahoney, the expansion is necessary in order to “prepare for a new marketplace.”

“One that is more valuedriven ... that shifts from inpatient to outpatient care ... and that is becoming more competitive,” he said.

Penn also recently purchased Cheshire County Hos-

pital on Sept. 1 and signed an affiliation with Lancaster General Hospital in an attempt to work more closely together.

While Penn Medicine Washington Square is completed and already open, Penn Medicine University City is set to open in August and the Pavilion for Advanced Care will open in January 2015.

“We’re trying to anchor service lines within the campuses and maintain connectedness,” Alyson Cole, Assistant Executive Director at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, said.

“We are making sure we are able to spread the capacity to spread care for patients across the health system.”

Cole explained that Penn Presbyterian will be for primarily cardiac, orthopedic and trauma as well as ophthalmology. Pennsylvania Hospital will narrow its focus to orthopedics and women’s health services, and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania will remain a center for numerous service lines.

“This is the first time in the state of Pennsylvania and as far as we can find anywhere in the country that a trauma program — which has been in place for over 27 years — will relocate with the same program but a different location,” Cole said in reference to moving the trauma center from HUP to PMUC. The funding for the expansion and building projects comes f r om Un iver sit y ’s capital campaign — known as the Making History Campaign — which helped raise billions of dollars for specific projects.

“We raise $130 million or so a year which comes from grateful patients, foundations and people that are interested in what we’re doing,” Mahoney said. “They read about a scientist who is close to a breakthrough and want to be a part of it, so they send us money.”

Both Cole and Mahoney

stressed that the expansion is part of a methodical approach meant to help the patient, further scientific inquiry and improve Penn as a whole.

12 of the 13 floors of PMUC will be dedicated to ambulatory care and the Pavilion for Advanced Care will have larger amenities, more comfortable waiting spaces and additional cafes for patients and families. The Medical Education center on top of Perelman will be more student-integrated and research-oriented and will provide both inpatient and outpatient care.

“We focus on quality of care we’re delivering, education we’re providing to medical students and increasing scientific discovery,” Mahoney said. “We’re meeting those missions, which is requiring us to grow our physical facilities.”

Mahoney explained that having professionals in different areas, such as a hematologist and a surgeon on the same floor, will also promote “coordinated continuity of care.”

Although the buildings are spread out, ease of communication is made possible by an electronic medical record system. Connectedness is also maintained by what Cole described as “tele-medicine.”

“It’s a 24/7 controlled closed circuit camera system that allows people to look in at patients that need additional monitoring,” Cole said. “If you need a consult or to find an expert person within the health system, you should be able to call upon them using tele-medicine.”

Senior Vice President of Penn Medicine Susan Phillips noted that the expansion and growth is a positive thing for multiple reasons. “[It’s] the ability to see, treat and cure even more patients, to watch exceptional students become physicians and scientists and to know that the most exciting research will be happening at Penn Medicine,” she said.

The Division of Public Safety kicked off its annual “Share the Road” bicycle safety campaign with an event at the Penn Bookstore yesterday.

The campaign is designed to educate members of the Penn community about local laws, traffic violations and best practices pertaining to cyclists riding on Philadelphia streets.

Numerous on- and of fcampus groups joined Penn Police in hosting the event, including PennCycle, the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia, AlliedBarton and the Drexel University Police.

Representatives from these groups were on hand to give information about bike safety to pedestrians, motorists and cyclists.

Road campaign is one of the ways we try to engage with members of the community about pedestrian, drive and bike safety — both on- and offcampus,” Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said. “We stress the importance of sharing the safety responsibilities of all partners on the road and encourage all of the community to be smart when traveling our streets.”

How do prevailing economic and political ideologies influence experiences and theories of gender and sexuality? This advanced undergraduate course will examine this question from disciplinary perspectives across the social sciences and humanities, with a particular focus on ethnographic inquiry.

The main theme students will explore is that sex, gender and sexuality are social relations produced through the interplay of individual desires and social norms, not innate facets of self or personhood. The course will survey theoretical and practical discussions over the possibilities and limitations of envisioning both sexual marginality and normativity as sites for political action by engaging in assignments that get students to apply what they learn in class to real-world contexts.

GSWS002 - GENDER & SOCIETY Instructor: Melanie Adley, Associate Director of GSWS TR 3:00pm-4:20pm This course will introduce students to the ways in which sex, gender, and sexuality mark our bodies, influence our perceptions of self and others, organize families and work like, delimit opportunities for individuals and groups of people, as well as impact the terms of local and transnational economic exchange. We will explore the ways in which sex, gender, and sexuality work with other markers of difference and social status such as race, age, nationality, and ability to further demarcate possibilities, freedoms, choices, and opportunities available to people.

Compact 2014 Newman Civic Fellow last week. The annual Newman Civic Fellow Award honors student leaders committed to creating lasting change in communities throughout the country.

Running as a Penn representative nominated by President Amy Gutmann, King was highly recognized for her dedication to promoting equal educational opportunities for disadvantaged children in the West Philadelphia school district.

But King does much more than give inspirational talks.

Ira Harkavy, founding director of the Netter Center for Community Partnerships, has been working with her since last summer. “Jessica is an idealist, but what’s extraordinarily significant about her is that she puts her idealism into action to bring about practical change,” he said.

K ing joined Community School Student Partnerships, an outreach program for local schools, in her freshman fall.

She later worked for a year as a coordinator that oversaw the scheduling of 35 Penn student mentors. Last spring, King became the student director of CSSP, a position she still holds.

King first wanted to help disadvantaged students after her time spent lifeguarding in high school. On Friday afternoons, teachers always brought a group of children with disabili-

She realized that people cannot necessarily choose how their lives go, and that not all people are on an equal footing.

DO YOU PAY PER VIEW?

“I came from a very privileged background, and I had always thought people’s lives are results of what their own choices and actions,” she said. Children in special education schools, for example, sometimes suffer from compromised educational quality, she said — a problem that has been especially relevant in West Philadelphia.

“Penn students can do a lot more,” King said. “It’s not just about being a student or a future employee. It’s about being a person.”

King said that she aims to pursue a master’s degree in communication and education before going into teaching.

Eventually, she wants to be the principal at West Philadelphia High School.

King said she would consider going into education policy in the future, but not before she finishes her work as principal. “I am kind of like a control freak,” she said, laughing. “I might get frustrated by politics.”

“I hope the people reading this article can think about the person who helped them through difficult times in life, and try to be that kind of person in their own lives,” King said.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

SP2 dean is also a writer, filmmaker DEAN from page 1 son’s eight years as a professor in both the School of Arts and Sciences and the Annenberg School for Communication.

Chosen as the first Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor in 2006, Jackson has taught classes in the Africana Studies and Anthropology departments of SAS. He has also served administratively as the associate dean for administration at Annenberg and as a senior advisor for diversity in the Office of the Provost.

Jackson was named dean of SP2 on March 19. He is one of Penn’s first African American deans, according to University Archivist Mark Frazier Lloyd said.

Of the four new deans announced, he is the only one who is currently a Penn professor.

“Insofar as learning how Penn works, John already knows that,” Gelles said. “I think it’s going to make his life and the school’s life a lot easier.”

In his experience at Penn so far, Jackson says he has admired the high level of interaction between Penn’s various schools.

“Being able to embrace a form of interdisciplinarity that allows one to be in conversation with a lot of different parts of the campus has been incredibly enriching,” Jackson said. “It’s something I really appreciate about Penn in particular.”

Throughout his career, Jackson has always worked to integrate various fields of study — working as a filmmaker, a professor, a writer and an anthropologist. He has written various books on race relations and racial identity, including an investigation into Harlem, New York and an analysis of “racial paranoia” in the 21st century.

However, he is also interested in studying the anthropology of identity more generally. “So race, specifically, but also class, ethnicity — thinking about how all of these different categories of identity intersect with one another,” Jackson said.

In addition to publishing four books, Jackson has also produced documentaries, filmshorts and a feature-length fiction film. His most recent documentary, “Bad Friday: Rastafari After Coral Gardens,” chronicles the history of state violence against Rastafarians in western Jamaica.

The documentary has stimulated an attempt to reopen a court case in Jamaica, in which the public defender is using Jackson’s interviews with survivors of past violence.

“Mak ing f ilm isn’t just about public intellectualism, it isn’t just about making your research more palatable to a wider audience, it’s actually about trying to engage your subject in ways that are useful and valuable to them,” Jackson said. “This can also be a form of scholarship and a kind of political intervention.”

Jackson’s work has attracted admirers among Penn’s stu-

Johanna Greeson, an assistant professor at SP2, does not know Jackson personally, but she said she expected him to be a relatable dean.

“The only question I had was that he’s not a social worker — he doesn’t have an MSW [Master’s in Social Work],” Greeson said. “That came up as something that we wanted to prioritize.”

Greeson mentioned that this might not be important in the face of Jackson’s experience with similar social issues.

Jackson feels that his previous work provides him with the background necessary to lead SP2.

“Part of what drew me to anthropology was the fact that I wasn’t just going to be up in an archive reading books, but I had to be in the world engaging people,” Jackson said. “That kind of interactive investment Flexible short and long-term leases in other folks in the world — apartments • eFFiciencies • single rooms • private rooms hearing their stories, seeing Mention thi s ad and save $ 50 what one can learn from their apply in person: experiences — I think is part of international house philadelphia what’s going on in SP2.”

3 701 chestnut street Gelles, who has been dean of SP2 for 13 years, is not a social or online at worker either. “There will be a www.ihousephilly.org learning curve” for Jackson, he said.

“I had to learn a lot about social work from my colleagues, from our staff and especially from my students. That’s why I taught,” Gelles said. “Because I wasn’t a social worker by training, it was important for me to be with [students] twoand-a-half hours a week and hear about what was going on in their education.”

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

Penn takes on struggling offensive team tured 2-6 record in her first eight starts of the season. But Borden was downright dominant against Yale, throwing her fifth complete game and first shutout of the year. Borden allowed only two hits in seven innings while striking out four, helping Penn end its seven-game skid.

Home Runs: The Red and Blue have had no trouble getting the ball over the fence this season. Against the Elis on Monday, freshman Alexis Sargent smacked a solo shot in the first inning of the first contest before going yard again in the second game of the doubleheader. Fellow f reshman Leah A llen also hit a homer in the nightcap against Yale.

Rookie Sensations: While Penn has struggled all season, its freshmen have been stellar. Sargent and Allen are tied for the team lead in home runs at four apiece. Additionally, Sargent has been terrific on the rubber, notching a 3-2 record â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a win over

Yale on Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and leading the Quakers with a 1.21 ERA. Three Down Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Recent Schedule: Nothing has been easy for Temple lately. Since March 22, the Owls have dropped all three games that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played, including three losses to Houston in a two-day span by a combined score of 23-6.

But those are the only three games Temple has been able to play over the past ten days, as the Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; five games since then have either been postponed or cancelled.

Weather: Of course, one can imagine why the Owls have had such trouble getting time on the field. The weather in the Northeast has been extraordinarily poor throughout the month of March. 11 combined games were either postponed or cancelled between the two Philadelphia rivals last month.

Owls at the plate: Temple has struggled on offense in 2014. The Owls have managed only a .265 batting average this season, a mark that ranks fifth in the American Atlantic Conference. Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batting average is .018 points higher than Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but the Owls have consistently been outhit by their opponents, allowing a .281 batting average this year.

right the ship or get it right, just based on how hard he works and much he cares and the types of kids we have coming in this year [that] will really benefit the program. And the recruiting moving forward should be a plus as well.

DP: What can you say about criticism with regards to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player development and players not taking the next step forward?

SP: There are reasons why the perception on the outside

of things occurs the way they think they occur. You have a staff of guys teaching and developi ng ever y b o d y on the team. Did it translate to the wins we all wanted it to? No, but by no means do I think any of that is related to somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception on the outside of what they think somebody should be doing. I guess those people, whoever they may be, should get into coaching if they think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so smart.

Backed up by a struggling offense, junior pitcher Alexis Borden went into the first game against Yale on Monday with a meager 2-6 record in her first eight starts of the season. She turned it around, though, tossing a complete game shutout en route to her third win of the season and snapping a seven-game skid.

Former assistant defends Allen M. HOOPS from page 12 good things or how much I appreciate the kind of human beings coach [Jerome] Allen is, coach [Ira] Bowman, coach [Jason] Polykoff and coach

[Mike] Lintulahti, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a great group of people.

DP: What was it like working with coach Allen, both how the dynamic between you guys worked game to game but also considering that you came in with a whole new staff in 2012?

SP: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always an adjustment period when new people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know each other come in, but like I said, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had their arms more open and been more warm to me being part of

the staff. Working with coach Allen, I learned a lot, not just about coaching basketball but also about life in the two years I spent with him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just really appreciative about my time spent at Penn.

DP: There has been a lot of criticism of the Penn program recently. What do you think about the direction of the program with the team struggling the last couple years?

SP: Obviously, one of my biggest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I

want to use the word regret â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but obviously we all wanted to win more basketball games.

My time spent at Penn I will always look back as more favorable and pleasant, but I wish it could have come with more wins. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the business to do and unfortunately, that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case.

As far as moving forward, I have the utmost confidence that coach Allen will win more games and, whatever words you want to use or clichĂŠs,

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good time at pulse

Quakers survive for two 3-2 wins BASEBALL from page 12 together four hits to extend the lead to three runs.

McGarr y started the action with a two-out double, and was quickly driven in by a Matt McKinnon rope down the right field line. Second baseman Michael Vilardo was the next to help the cause, singling up the middle to drive in another run.

Cuff went three straight innings without giving up a hit after the second, but was finally touched for a run in the fifth.

The veteran starter gave up another run off a single early in the seventh, which prompted Yurkow to call upon freshman Mike Reitcheck to close out the contest with two

runners on base.

The switch paid off, as Reitcheck fanned two straight batters to solidify a 3-2 victory in game one.

The second game featured another pitching duel, this time between Penn lefty Jack Hartman and Brown righty Lucas Whitehill.

Hartman, a freshman, was in control during his six innings on the mound, allowing just one run on two hits.

Penn once again got on the board early in the second contest. Senior outfielder Rick Brebner drove in Brandon Engel ha rdt on a f ielder ’s choice and McGarry plated catcher Austin Bossart on a sacrifice fly to give Penn a 2-0 lead after one.

“When you’re playing at home, and you can get out to an early lead when you have good ar ms on the mound, that’s a big confidence boost,” Yurkow said.

W it h W h it eh i l l show i ng signs of fatigue, the Penn bats took advantage and added

some insurance in the bottom of the eighth.

With one out in the frame, Rya n M i ncher a nd M it ch Montaldo reached on walks, and leadoff man Engelhardt punched a line drive into left to score Mincher and extend the lead to two.

Reitcheck came in to close the final inning once again, but his job proved to be more difficult this time around.

Yu rkow p a id a v i sit t o the mound when Reitcheck walked J.J Franco to load the bases in the ninth after surrendering a run, but he kept his faith in his younger closer.

It came down to a 2-2 count, but Reitcheck located an inside pitch to strike out Brown centerfielder Robert Henry, securing another 3-2 win and his third save of the season.

“He made some big pitches when he needed to,” Yurkow said. “And that’s what it’s all about.

“Four wins in the league, it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Red and Blue push past turmoil to top Hoyas

BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor After facing some turmoil on and off the field, Penn women’s lacrosse was able to keep itself focused and earn a much-needed victory.

The No. 12 Quakers traveled down to Baltimore on Tuesday and strung together an offensive flurry in the second half to take down No. 19 Georgetown in a neutral-site win, 8-6, the Red and Blue’s first win over a ranked opponent this season.

A fter getting pasted by No. 2 Maryland two weeks ago and barely hanging on against Vanderbilt last Sunday, Penn (6-2) faced some more early trouble, falling behind just 1:45 into the contest after Hoyas midfield Kelyn Freedman converted a shot.

Though the Quakers would respond with a pair of goals from sophomore midfields Nina Corcoran and Lely DeSimone, Georgetown (3-7) held a 4-3 lead at the half, as a goal from Hoyas attack Colleen Lovett put her squad on top with just 4:24 to go in the period.

Facing the possibility of entering Saturday Alumni Day festivities on a losing note, the Quakers rallied in the halftime locker room and came out with an offensive fire.

“We talked a lot about that at halftime, that we just needed to have more balls moved in, and more hard

BASEBALL | Red and Blue sweep their doubleheader against Brown to improve their Ivy record to 4-0

After two years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for Penn basketball under coach Jerome Allen , Scott Pera left last week, moving to a job on Mike Rhoades’ staff at Rice. The Daily Pennsylvanian spoke with Pera about the move and the trajectory of Penn basketball. Here is part of the interview where Pera talks about his motivation for leaving and his relationship with Allen. You can read the rest of the interview at thedp.com/thebuzz.

The Daily Pennsylvanian: What was the reasoning behind the move to Rice and what is your relationship with coach Mike Rhoades?

Scott Pera: Coach Rhoades and I go back 20 years. When coach Rhoades was a college player at Lebanon Valley College, I was the high school coach at Annville High School. They were located about four blocks apart. We were very friendly during his playing days and it grew as we grew older and fortunately life has taken us to the point where we are both Division I assistant coaches all these years later. Each spring we both have our opportunities and maybe try and get head coaching jobs and Mike has been involved in a few [ job openings] recently due to his success at VCU. We always talk about coaching together and how it’d be a dream of ours. When he got this, he called and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

DP: Obviously assistants move around a lot, but how did coach Allen and rest of the staff react to the move?

SP: First of all, those guys are some of the greatest people, not only that I have gotten to work with but that I’ve ever gotten to know. They handled it as I thought they would handle it: professionally. It couldn’t have been more professional in how they handled it and I hope they felt that I handled it professionally as well. I certainly cannot say enough

at No. 19 Georgetown challenges ... and work their defense,” coach Karin Brower Corbett said. “Our attack really answered in doing that.

“We really had their defense turning a lot and created a lot of really nice opportunities that we finished off.”

As a matter of fact, the Quakers were able to finish off five such opportunities in a span of eight minutes and 20 seconds midway through the second half, which started when sophomore midfield Catherine Dickinson converted off a feed from Iris Williamson with 23:43 to go and ended after freshman attack Sarah Barcia scored unassisted near the period’s halfway mark.

With an 8-4 lead in hand, Penn was able to stave off a Georgetown rally thanks to its defensive efforts and ability to take advantage of draw controls — the Quakers picked up nine to the Hoyas’ seven. “[ Draw controls have] been a struggle for us,” Corbett said. “So it was really important to have those opportunities, especially with their offense ... they’re very patient and you can be on defense a lot.”

The win also gave the Red and Blue something positive to focus in on after receiving some negative off-the-field publicity.

Penn baseball is getting its spring cleaning done early this year.

Facing Brow n, the Quakers stepped onto the field Tuesday looking for their second consecutive sweep of an Ivy doubleheader. They got exactly what they wanted, downing the Bears with two 3-2 victories at Meiklejohn Stadium.

Although Penn’s bats weren’t as lively as they were on Monday against Yale, the Red and Blue (10-10, 4-0 Ivy) used impressive outings from veteran arms and freshmen alike to stay undefeated in Ivy League play and extend a six-game winning streak.

“We were able to win some close games, which earlier in the year we were struggling with,” Penn coach John Yurkow said. “That’s the thing that I’m really excited about.”

Junior righty Connor Cuff nearly went the distance in the first game and improved to 2-1 on the season, giving up two runs on six hits along the way.

Junior Jeff McGarry hit a solo shot in the bottom of the first to give Penn an early 1-0 lead and continue his tear at the plate.

The Bears (4-10, 0-4) threatened to score in the second, but Cuff was able to strand two.

The Red and Blue’s bats would stay quiet until the fifth, when they strung
