Penn students compete for U. rises in return the chance to pitch to Nutter on investment rankings

Teams of students will present their plans to retain and attract millenials Friday

BY CLAIRE COHEN Deputy News Editor

Philadelphia believes that millennials will change the world. That’s why it’s looking to keep as many as possible in the city.

Ten Penn students are vying for the opportunity to pitch to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter in a new competition seeking ways to make Philadelphia more appealing to millennials — people born between 1980 and the mid-1990s.

These students are finalists in the inaugural year of the Philadelphia Public Policy Case Competition.

Managed by the Mayor’s Office of Policy Planning and Coordination and the Philadelphia Youth Commission, the contest is seeking ideas from teams of undergraduate and graduate students from across the city.

Between 2006 and 2012, the city’s population of 20 to 34 year olds rose by over 100,000. The city hopes to both find ways to draw in more young Philadelphians and engage the millennials currently living in Philadelphia, Director of Policy in the Office of the Mayor Maia Jachimowicz said.

“We do a great job attracting them to attend colleges and universities, but we want them to stay in the city,” Jackimowicz said.

Sixteen teams from 10 different schools in the Philadelphia area

submitted their plans to make the city more millennial-friendly on March 24. Ideas included improving public transit, starting housing initiatives and finding ways to develop millennials’ businesses. PYC Executive Director Jamira Burley said improving the way Philadelphia looks was a major theme of contestants’ pitches.

“I looked for something that was innovative — what is going to take Philadelphia to the next level,” Burley said. “I looked for a holistic policy suggestion.”

BY SAMUEL BYERS Staff Writer

The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine is launching a new program all about man’s best friend.

Last Wednesday, Penn Vet announced that it would be adding a new residency program in reproductive medicine for cats, dogs and other companion animals. It will support one resident for two years in the program under the tutelage of Margret Casal , professor of medical genetics.

“I am so proud that Penn Vet is a recipient of this important residency program,” Gilbert S. K ahn Dean of Veterinary Medicine Joan Hendricks said in a press release. “It is critically important for us to train the next generation of veterinarians in both SEE VET PAGE 2

The Principal of Twitter, a GSE student

Tony Sinanis recently won New York’s Principal of the Year award

BY VICTORIA MOFFITT Staff Writer Tony Sinanis is a school administrator “tweeting” his way to the top.

Sinanis is a student in the Graduate School of Education’s Mid-Career Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership — a three-year program that allows students with full-time jobs as educational leaders to attend GSE classes one weekend per month. Sinanis, the principal at Cantiague Elementary School in Jericho, NY, was named New York State’s Elementary Principal of the Year in late March for his exemplary leadership practices — which include extensive use of Twitter pages to connect school staff and students to the wider New York community.

Of the 18 classrooms of students from kindergarten through fifth grade at Cantiague, 14 have their own Twitter accounts from which teachers tweet updates and photos of the students’ activities. From his personal Twitter account @TonySinanis, Sinanis tweets about Cantiague students many times each day.

At 8:16 a.m. on Wednesday, he tweeted a photo of three 3rd graders on an iPad deciding what their class should blog about that day. Six hours and seven tweets later, he posted

GSE student Tony Sinanis, seen holding the 2013 Bammy Award for Principal of the Year, recently won the New York State Principal of the Year award. another photo — this time of him lying on the ground as he forms a “human clock” with second-grade students.

“I don’t take myself too seriously,” Sinanis said. “I take my work seriously and I live for my kids and our staff, but I don’t take myself too seriously.”

During his six years as principal at Cantiague, Sinanis has promoted the “bucket filling” philosophy — a character development idea that stems from several picture books encouraging positive thinking and considerate actions among children.

“It spreads from this idea that we all carry around an imaginary bucket, which when you do good things, gets filled, and when you don’t do good things, it gets dipped into,” Sinanis said.

“We look at it as a philosophy, a

sort of way of life.”

Since the philosophy was first implemented at Cantiague six years ago, troublesome behavior referrals have diminished significantly. Sinanis continues to encourage students to be “bucket fillers” through creative means. One year he held a song-writing contest in which each class came up with lyrics explaining what it means to be a bucket filler — to the tune of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin.’”

“I love my kids — everything I do here is for our kids,” Sinanis said. “Even if it’s not necessarily the easiest thing to do or the most comfortable thing to do, we try to keep everything childcentered here.”

Sinanis has made other significant changes at Cantiague,

implementing consistent reading and writing workshop models across the grade levels and introducing different types of assessments to evaluate school progress instead of only using state tests.

“I just try to push for good instruction,” Sinanis said. “Never worrying about test scores and not worrying about performance, but worrying about student engagement.”

Sinanis said he has been able to implement new ways of thinking at Cantiague due to his experience with Penn’s Mid-Career Doctoral Program.

Specifically, he said that it has shaped his perspective on special education, race issues and diversity in education.

“We have a lot of discussions in class, so these conversations have really helped to broaden my point of view,” he said.

Sinanis is a member of the program’s 11th cohort, which consists of 25 students — all educational leaders from schools across the country.

“The cohort piece has definitely been a key to making this all manageable and doable — seeming like we’re going to finish this together,” Sinanis said.

“It definitely plays a role in the learning that we do, the conversations that we have and in my growth as an educator as well.”

Sharon Ravitch, a senior lecturer at GSE, has taught Sinanis and the other members of his cohort for nearly two years, leading courses in qualitative research methods. She is also

on Sinanis’ dissertation committee, advising him as he researches Twitter’s impact in the professional development of principals.

“One of the many things that’s so impressive about Tony is that he truly situates himself as a learner,” Ravitch said. “One might say, ‘He’s a doctoral student, of course he’s a learner.’

But he’s also a really seasoned and experienced professional.”

Sinanis applied to the MidCareer Doctoral Program with eagerness to learn.

“I was plateauing a bit in my own learning and growth ... I wanted to be pushed and to stretch my thinking,” Sinanis said. “So for me it was about my own growth and pushing myself out of my comfort zone — which [the program] has done tenfold.”

Ravitch explained that practitioner research is a pillar of the Mid-Career Doctoral Program. Students are expected not only to critically engage with existing research, but also to produce original research in the context of their own work — something that she said Sinanis does well. She felt he truly deserves the award for Principal of the Year.

“It’s wonderful when you see someone who is such a wonderful, transformative leader be honored,” Ravitch said. “The whole Mid-Career community is thrilled for him ... It’s just such a spirit of happiness for other people’s accomplishments and I think that’s really exciting.”

Penn is one of three schools to get funding VET from page 1 the clinical aspects of reproduction and the fundamentals of basic science so that we can translate i mpr ovement s i nt o ad vances for the real world.”

The residency program specia l i zes i n t ra i n i ng students in all areas of reproductive care for companion animals.

This includes specialized training in reproductive medicine and surgery, obstetrics and neonatology.

The program at Penn is being funded by a $100,000 c o nt r i b ut i o n f r o m t he A mer ic a n K en nel Club and The Theriology Foundation. Penn Vet is one of only three other universities nationw ide to receive funding from these organization for this program. The other recipient universities are Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and the University of California Dav is School of Veter inary Medicine. “ We a r e t h r i l l e d t o establish this program, which we hope will bear a g r e at er u nder st a nd ing of and respect for the purpose-bred dog,” AKC c h a i r m a n A l a n K a lt er said in the Penn Vet press release.

Grad students refurbish homes in West Philadelphia PennDesign and Wharton students are volunteering in Mantua

BY JILL GOLUB Staff Writer Friday marked the start of a project by Penn graduate students partnering with a local nonprofit to repair 12 different houses of low-income homeowners in Mantua.

Graduate students from the Wharton School , PennDesign and other graduate schools — 75 students in total — volunteered for Rebuilding Together Philadelphia by providing essential repairs to homes on the 37th and 38th streets on Fairmount Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood. The build will finish this coming Saturday, April 5.

The work consists of projects “as simple as painting or as complicated as plumbing or electrical work,” said Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Philadelphia Stefanie Seldin , a 1990 College graduate . The budget for the build is $120,000, with funds going towards roof repairs, carbon monoxide detectors, paint and any other necessary supplies.

In order for a community

member to apply for their house to be refurbished by Rebuilding Together Philadelphia, he or she must have lower than 80 percent of the Housing and Urban Development requirements.

This means for a one-person home the owner must make less than $44,000 a year, and $63,000 or less for a four person family, Seldin said.

The Mantua area currently has a 51.8 percent unemployment rate. The area was recently designated a Promise Zone by President Barack Obama, a designation that is supposed to generally increase funding in the area.

However, Seldin said that Rebuilding Together Philadelphia started working in Mantua three years ago, before this designation.

Rebuilding Together Philadelphia, founded by 1988 Wharton graduate Robert Bellinger, started its first project in 1989. The organization rebuilds 60 to 80 homes a year. Its goal is to help maintain affordable home ownership for Philadelphia residents.

Besides providing critical home repairs and beautifying the surrounding commu n it y, t he orga n i zat ion connects homeowners to social service resources in the

area, such as health screenings and energy coordinating agencies. “ No m at t e r w he r e w e are, its important to think about our neighbors and the community we live in,” said Christopher Burns, secondyear Wharton MBA student a nd W ha r t on R ebu i ld i ng Together Philadelphia Club president. “Wherever we go, we should be thinking about helping out our neighbors.”

Bur ns, who is study ing real estate at Wharton, got involved with Rebuilding Together Philadelphia last year and was elected president earlier this year.

“Our vision for this group is that it becomes more than just Wharton students,” he said. “We have made a ton of effort in the past five years to get other graduate schools involved.”

PennDesign has been a large partner with Wharton on this project, sending between 25 and 30 volunteers for this project.

Of the homeowners whose houses are being rebuilt and fixed to a var ying degree, three are veterans.

“It’s wonderful that we can give back to that community as well as our veterans of the armed services for all that they do for us,” Seldin said.

2048 — Not so great

THE INTERNET EXPLORER | I haven’t beaten the game … don’t start playing

W

hen I dow nloaded 20 4 8 on my iPhone last week , I should have known what would happen.

Like many of my friends who recently discovered this simple yet endlessly tricky game, I quickly became addicted. I still haven’t gotten 2048 — I’ve only gotten 512 once. I can’t stop playing — at least not until I get that magic number, until I see those square tiles light up, tell me I’ve won and let me move on with my life.

For those of you who don’t know, 2048 is a game that has recently taken over people’s lives. It is fairly simple: You have a four-by-four grid and two tiles with the number “2” on them. Swipe tiles up, down, left or right and tiles with the same number will

combine and double in face value. So 2 and 2 become 4, 4 and 4 become 8 and so on.

The point is to double 2 ten times to get 2048. But every time you move, a new tile appears — and if your board fills up and you run out of moves, you’re done.

‘‘

It’s tempting to submerge ourselves in activities that are less challenging than rewarding.

Games like 2048 are one, but not the other.”

Here’s the crazy thing about

2048: It’s not timed. But you will probably play as if it were.

When I start a new game, I stop everything else I’m doing until I run out of moves — or I win. And that’s never happened. So every loss fuels my need for speed and just one more try. My roommates haven’t stopped rolling their eyes at me since I came home blabbing about the app.

In college, we’re all prone to procrastination — a quick game is more attractive than a problem set that will take eight hours to finish — but as we download the new big “thing,” we should be aware of our capacity for obsession.

These games don’t offer instant gratification — they deliberately delay it . It’s tempting to submerge ourselves in activities that are less challenging than reward-

ing. Games like 2048 are one, but not the other.

2048 isn’t the first game to develop a hyper-addicted fan base. It’s actually inspired by the game 1024, where the objective is to double 2 nine times, which is loosely based off the iPhone app Threes, where your star ting tiles are 1 and 2, so the combinations are multiples of 3. And it comes just weeks after Dong Nyugen, the creator of the endlessly infuriating game Flappy Bird, pulled his app from stores because he felt users were spending too much time playing. After that move, smartphones with the Flappy Bird app installed were sold on eBay for tens of thousands of dollars until the online marketplace removed all those listings.

The case of Flappy Bird is

an example of a phenomenon we don’t normally see: rejection of success in the marketplace. Flappy Bird made Nyugen an estimated $50,000 a day, but in early February he tweeted: “I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users. 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down. I cannot take this anymore.”

While tech news outlets clamored to get the scoop, he refused to give a statement — until a month later, when he came clean in Rolling Stone: He felt terrible after reading tweets from mothers about their game-crazed children.

Nyugen had created the ultimate distraction — something simple, easy to play and hard to beat, iterative and menacing.

Now, with respect to 2048, I am not seriously concerned

FRIDA GARZA for my mental or physical well-being. Trust me, I want to win, but I’m not losing sleep over it. What I am losing is time — moments and energy I could spend on fruitful, productive activities. I’ve only been playing for a week, but I wonder how many more times I’ll fail before I can toss my head back and laugh when people ask if I’ve ever played, when I have a win in my back pocket right there along with my iPhone.

Making justice fashionable GUEST COLUMN BY DEVAN SPEAR

P

en n s t u d e nt s don’t ignore details. Our wardrobes are often as meticulously curated as our resumes. As Fashion Week continues on our campus, we have a responsibility to remember not just what our clothing looks like or where we bought it, but where it originates.

With the inclusion of u n ion-made , A lt a Gr aci a clothing in our bookstore a nd t he prom ise t hat a l l brands that produce our collegiate apparel will be required to sign the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, Penn is moving toward becoming a model for sweatshop-free college campuses. What is conspicuously missing from this equation, however, is the participation of VF Corporation.

Few of us have heard of VF Corporation, but almost

all of us own V F clothing.

The $11 billion retail giant ow ns more than 20 major U.S. brands, including The North Face, JanSport and 7 For All Mankind. In April of last year, the Rana Plaza factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh collapsed, killing over 1,000 Bangladeshi workers.

Although VF Corporation was not producing clothing at Rana Plaza, VF does employ more than 190,000 workers across Bangladesh. In December of 2010, 29 workers were k illed and more than 100 were injured in a fire at That’s It Sportswear factory, which produces VF apparel.

The factor y had i l lega l construction, no proper fire ex its, shoddy w i r i ng a nd locked exit doors. Workers wer e t rapped on t he t op f loors of the factor y, and many jumped to their deaths in a desperate attempt to

escape the f lames. VF had repeatedly inspected the factory and yet had completely failed to address the safety hazards.

signed by over 150 cor po rations from more than 20 countries around the world.

The goal of the Accord is

‘‘

As consumers of VF apparel [like JanSport and North Face] and as Penn students, we are in a unique position to stop VF from getting away with this injustice.”

Despite these violations, VF Corporation has thus far refused to sign the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, a groundbreaking agreement that requires independent safety inspections at factories and public reporting of the results of these inspections. The Accord offers unprecedented levels of safety to Bangladeshi workers, and has been

not to shut down factories or drain corporate profits. The Accord is a way for corporations to recognize factory workers as participants in their supply chain who deserve basic health and safety protections.

VF justifies their refusal to sign the Accord by pointing to their participation in the non-legally binding Alliance for Bangladesh Worker

Safety. Unlike the Accord, the Alliance was designed entirely by corporations with no worker representation, and corporations retain complete control over the factory inspection process.

I, like many Penn students, own clothing produced by VF Cor poration. Ever y backpack I’ve owned since middle school has been a JanSport, a nd I love a wa r m Nor th F ac e jac ket a s muc h a s anyone else. As consumers of VF apparel and as Penn students, we are in a unique position to stop VF from getting away with this injustice.

Collegiate apparel contracts are immensely valuable to corporations like VF. We a s k e d f o r P e n n t o r e q u i r e t he br a nd s t h at produce for us to sign the Accord, and our administration did the right thing. We have a responsibility to make sure that our administration fol-

Of course, we don’t want to have to cut that contract. I fully believe that work ing with a corporation that respects the human rights of its workers is far superior to not working with that corporation at all.

This year ’s Street Style — the Fashion Week issue of 34th Street — includes a spread on how to “be stylishly school spirited.” This guide to Penn apparel ranges from “classic” to “edgy.”

I hope that soon, on either end of the spectrum, these sweatshirts, tees and bandeaus come with dignity and safety for Bangladeshi workers.

Natural Sciences’ evolving hiring practices

The Natural Sciences division is participating in the Evolution Cluster

BY LAUREN FEINER Staff Writer The Natural Sciences division of the School of Arts and Sciences is participating in the Evolution Cluster, a program that would make Darwin proud.

A cluster is a type of hiring program that searches for the best candidates within a particular thematic field, rather than within a particular department, Associate Dean for the Natural Sciences Richard Schultz explained. It aims to promote collaboration between departments on

Engineering colleges top ROI rankings RANKINGS from page A1 nology secured top ten spots.

With students and parents increasingly worried about the steep cost of higher education, which has soared in the past decade, return on investment has become a controversial way to measure the worth of a college degree.

The ROI Ranking rates colleges based on the 20-year net ROI — the total income a graduate makes in 20 years, not including the cost of college and what they would have made working instead of going to college. It also does not include financial aid, an important factor for many schools which charge expensive tuition but provide significant aid to students. Users can choose to see rankings which take financial aid into account.

Penn rose from 30th to 26th this year, not taking into account financial aid. If the user does include financial aid, Penn rose from 30th to 15th.

Most of the top schools focus on math, science and engineering. Harvey Mudd College, a liberal arts college of science, math and engineering ranked first.

Thyra Briggs, the vice president for admission and financial aid at Harvey Mudd, said in an email that the school ranked highly partially because it trains students for STEM fields, which are often high-paying.

Some educational experts are skeptical of using ROI to evaluate colleges. “If you look closely, this is really a survey promoted by business

evolutional research — rather than the survival of the fittest.

Schultz proposed the idea of the cluster hire about two years ago to then-dean of SAS Rebecca Bushnell during a dean’s retreat. Although he felt that this type of hire could eventually be employed in the other divisions of the school, “the Natural Sciences was best situated to do this because of a history of [being a] collaborative discipline,” Schultz said.

“The concept of evolution permeates through all of the natural sciences in one way or another,” Schultz said.

The four new hires made by the selection committee include Gareth Roberts, who simulates language evolution in laboratory settings by play-

ing communication games, such as having participants try to talk while a computer distorts their speech or having them make trades in a made-up language.

Other hires include Eleni Katifori, who studies leaves from the perspectives of multiple disciplines, Erol Akçay, a theoretical biologist, and evolutionary biologist Allison Sweeney. Sweeney was the first to be hired and is already at Penn.

Once the new Evolution Cluster hires settle into their research after arriving on campus in July or January, they will also teach classes, Schultz said. While he does not foresee a certificate program developing from the cluster, he hopes the innova-

leaders and people who are not students,” said assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nick Hillman, who studies finance in higher education. “This survey has many methodological flaws and people in the academic community do not really trust it.”

Hillman believes ROI rankings may actually be “counterproductive” because they do not accurately reflect the type of education a student might receive at different colleges.

He points out that it is the variation around the average ROI that matters more, a fact that is not demonstrated in the data. As an example, he said the average ROI for a Penn English major likely has much higher variation than the average ROI for a Pennsylvania State University English major.

Dean of Admissions Eric Furda also cautions against using ROI as the sole measure

of a college. Instead, he focuses on the responsibility of schools to educate families on the realities of higher education. “You’re not just going to college to figure out what that first job is, but it does matter,” he said.

“A college education is still one of the best bets out there when you’re talking about lifetime earnings,” he added.

He also pointed out that the ranking failed to adjust for population size. Harvey Mudd College admitted only a little over 600 students last year.

Carrie Johnson, the associate director of marketing and media relations at the Association of American Colleges and Universities, says that ROI should be only one component of college evaluations.

“It is good to have a sense of where students are receiving jobs after graduation, but, in general, you really have to look at the curriculum,” she said.

tive classes will expose undergraduates to fields within the established departments that they might not have known about otherwise.

“Penn undergraduates are voraciously interdisciplinary,” Kamien noted. “It wasn’t a gap in knowledge [we were trying to fill with the Evolution Cluster], more of a gap in knowing the knowledge was there.”

T he h i r i ng com m itt ee, which included two faculty representatives from each of the seven natural science departments, used what Schultz termed the “n+1 rule” to select candidates who had an interdisciplinary method to their research. The rule posits that there should be at

least one more department involved in the search for potential candidates than the number of positions available to fill.

“We wanted to make sure the people we were considering would be the people who would bridge departments,” Randall Kamien, a physics professor, Associate Dean for Graduate Affairs and head of the hiring committee, said.

Many members of the committee said they feel the experience of participating in the Evolution Cluster hire was enlightening. The program has hosted seminars across the departments that faculty can attend to learn more about relevant topics.

“There’s a sense amongst

the faculty of ‘wow’, they actually have more in common than they realized,” Schultz said. “It’s like [they are] people of different cultures.”

Clark said that learning about molecular biology and how the environment influences gene expression made him wonder if there are analogous processes at work in language.

“I’m starting to think of language as a branch of biology,” he said.

The hiring committee of a second cluster, the Energy Cluster, has already selected its first candidate who will sit in the Chemistry Department.

Schultz is currently accepting proposals for new cluster hire ideas as well.

Library’s grant to help fund digitization LIBRARY from page A1 lections Center, said the Schoenberg Database draws data from over 12,000 locations, including institutional, public and private collections. This makes it “one of the most important resources for the study of the ... history of manuscript books produced before 1600,” Noel said, noting that the database is invaluable to scholars, book collectors and students interested in studying

the history of books before print.

Noel said that the $300,000 grant will be used to “radically transform” the Schoenberg Database into a global open-access tool where scholars and students can collaborate in keeping the record of manuscripts’ locations up to date.

The second $230,000 grant will be used to catalogue, index and digitize the University’s collection of over 300,000 Indic-language manuscripts.

The project, directed by Nancy Shawcross, curator of manuscripts in Penn’s rare book and manuscripts library, will make these texts available on the internet to the general public.

Shawcross said most of the University’s collection of Indic-

language manuscripts were acquired in the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s directly from Indian families and individuals who kept the books in private collections.

Most of the texts are in Sanskrit and deal with religion, science and law, although other Indic languages are also represented.

In addition to indexing and cataloguing the texts, Shawcross plans to create high-resolution scans of the collection to place into an online public database.

“It’s great to have the [NEH]’s support in this,” said Shawcross, adding that this grant will help to open up scholarship to people everywhere and create “a truly global resource.”

A team made up of Engineering junior Martin Cheong, College and Wharton sophomore Nicolette Tan, College junior Amy Phillips, Drexel University junior Alexander Repp and College sophomore Ting Zhang will present their idea to attract millenials to Philadlephia on Friday..

City working to engage young people MILLENIALS from page 1 Wharton sophomore Nicolette Tan are one of the four finalists selected on March 28. The team is proposing extending funding to a liaison office that links the government, nonprofits and volunteer organizations so that non-profits can have the highest impact.

“We wanted to really empower these non-profits to be able to achieve their missions a lot better and fix Philadelphia’s problems bit by bit, neighborhood by neighborhood,” Tan said.

The finalists will present

their proposals and answer questions before a panel of judges on April 4. The winn i ng t e a m w i l l h ave t he oppor tunit y to meet w ith Mayor Nutter to pitch its idea and have tickets to his box for a Philadelphia Phillies game.

“We understand that young people have amazing ideas for changing the world and they’re never at the table when decisions are made,” Burley said. “We wanted to put young people in the driver’s seat.”

The judges will include Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Commerce Alan Greenberger, President of Campus Philly Deborah Diamond and Director of the Mayor’s Office of LGBT Affairs Gloria Casarez. They will select the

winning team based on the idea’s applicability, creativity and feasibility. “[The] purpose of the event is to introduce students and encourage their interest in public policy,” Jachimowicz said. “It’s a nice opportunity for us to get to know students and for us to get to know leaders in Philadelphia.”

Campus Philly and the Wharton Public Policy Initiative are co-sponsoring the competition. The city intends to hold a similar contest every semester.

Ting Zhang, a former Daily Pennsylvanian reporter, appreciates the sentiment of the competition.

“I feel like we can really make an impact in the city and bring the knowledge we learn in class to bring positive change in the community,” she said.

Instructor: Kirk Fiereck, GSWS Postdoctoral Fellow TR 10:30am-12:00pm 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.

More volunteers needed to host new admits

BY BRENDA WANG Deputy News Editor Male admitted students visiting Penn for Quaker Days may find themselves homeless when night falls.

Quaker Days is the newest incarnation of what used to be known as Penn Preview Days.

This year, all students admitted regular decision will have the opportunity to stay at Penn overnight for the first time.

However, significantly fewer male than female students have signed up to host prospective students. “We definitely need more guys,” Dean of Admissions Eric Furda said in an email. Although the Office of Admissions has “contingencies” in case not enough male students host, they are not “ideal to try to give ... the best impression of Penn.”

The situation is severe

enough that Furda “stalked Houston at lunch and launched an all-out assault on Hill and 1920 dining with admissions officers” in a bid to get more volunteers, he said. In his recruitment efforts, Furda said he “felt that so many students understood what we were trying to do — not just find a place for admitted students to sleep rather ... make yielding the class a campus-wide effort.”

“If an admitted student goes to another school because they feel another place is better for them, that is fine, but they are not going to say no to us because they feel another school is better than Penn,” he added.

Multicultural Scholars Days runs from April 6-7, which then becomes Quaker Days for all students admitted regular decision from April 7-9.

Trying to recruit volunteers, Dean Furda took to campus yesterday to try and convince undergraduate students to participate as hosts in Quaker Days. Admitted students are hosted by current Penn students living in the Quad and other campus housing for a first-hand look at Penn life.

What it Is Theology on Tap is a relatively new idea that other campus congregations are using to engage their student populations. UniLu’s Campus Ministry team will hold a Theology on Tap event every 1st Thursday of the month, alternating bars each time. We will use this time to have an open discussion about our spirituality and explore topics relating to students and young adults. Students under 21 are still welcome.

Big fifth inning lifts Penn over Leopards

BASEBALL | 11-run outburst, including two home runs from Rick Brebner, give Penn its seventh straight win

BY COREY HENRY Staff Writer For the first time all season, Penn baseball is over .500.

The Quakers kept their unbeaten home record intact with an 11-5

vs. Lafayette drubbing of the Lafayette in the Liberty Bell Classic quarterfinals. The win extended the Red and Blue’s winning streak to seven and gave them their ninth win in 10 games.

After picking up four crucial Ivy wins over Yale and Brown, Penn (1110) faced the tough task of playing

five games in three days.

“We really needed everyone to contribute this week,” coach John Yurkow said. “We’ve played good team baseball thus far.”

The game did not start off well for the Quakers, who dug themselves into a 1-0 hole early in the first inning after starting pitcher Jeff McGarry walked in a run.

The score would remain that way until the fifth inning as the game quickly turned into a pitcher’s duel.

“I was concerned early on,” coach John Yurkow said. “We didn’t end the game swing the bats well yesterday.”

The pitching duo of David Bednar and Ari Kaufman of Lafayette (712) teamed up to hold the Quakers hitless until the bottom of the fifth inning.

That’s when the momentum shifted.

Starting with a three-run homer from sophomore shortstop Ryan

Walk-off heroics help Quakers sink Owls

Mincher, Penn would go on to plate three more runs in the fifth followed by another five in the sixth inning.

“Mincher changed the game,” Yurkow remarked. “After that homer, the momentum shifted in our favor.”

Freshman outfielder Allen making place at Penn SOFTBALL | Leah Allen has made an impact for Penn’s lineup, leading the squad in home runs and slugging

BY LAINE HIGGINS Staff Writer

Name here/DP Staff Photographer

With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning of Penn’s contest against Temple, Senior third baseman Kayla Dahlerbruch lived every softball’s player dream, smacking in a walk-off single to score freshman outfielder Leah Allen and break a 3-3 tie with the Owls. The Quakers have now won three straight games after dropping their previous seven.

SOFTBALL | Kayla Dahlerbruch’s eighth inning single snaps a three-all tie

BY TODD COSTA Staff Writer How about a winning streak for a change?

After enduring seven consecutive losses, Penn softball won its third straight game Wednes-

vs. Temple day thanks to some heroics from Kayla Dahlerbruch. The senior third baseman singled home the winning run in the eighth inning as the Quakers took down city rival Temple, 4-3.

Already 2-0 in Ivy play after sweeping Yale in a doublehead-

er on Monday, the nonconference triumph over the Owls (9-15) gives the Red and Blue (7-11) some much-needed momentum.

“It’s nice to get some swag back,” Dahlerbruch said. “We lost a little confidence once we were on our losing streak, but I think that if we win, we have the confidence that we can win.”

As has been the case over the last couple of games, Penn’s pitching was a big story.

F reshman Cour tney Cuzick got the call to start on the mound for the Quakers and got off to a quick start, fanning a trio of Owls and holding Temple hitless for the first three innings. She got out of a slight jam in the away half of the fourth to keep the game scoreless. With a runner on second and only one away, Cuzick got a clutch strikeout and a SEE SOFTBALL PAGE B3

When freshman outfielder Leah Allen suited up to play her first Ivy League games of the season on Monday against Yale, she donned royal blue glitter in place of eye black. Her cheeks, however, were not the only things that sparkled during her performance against the Elis.

In the second game of the doubleheader, Allen gave the Red and Blue a boost by smacking her fourth home run of the season. With her contributions at the plate, Allen helped the Quakers snap their seven-game losing streak, leading them to a 2-0 Ivy start and 6-11 record overall.

After her performance against Yale, Allen sits comfortably at a .333 batting average, the third highest on the team behind junior outfielder Sydney Turchin and freshman pitcher and designated hitter Alexis Sargent.

Even though the season is just two months in, the first-year slugger from Woodbane, Md. has already found a home for herself in Penn’s batting lineup. Going into Wednesday’s contest against Big 5 rival Temple, Allen has tallied 16 RBI and an impressive 10 runs — both highs for the team — in just 17 games and 45 at-bats.

That being said, Allen has big shoes to fill.

Last year, Penn graduated its top four hitters in Sam Erosa, Brooke Caloma, Stephanie Caso and Jessica Melendez . These four departed seniors were directly responsible for nearly half of all of the runs scored by the Red and Blue in 2013.

Allen’s consistent performance in the batter’s box has been especially crucial for the young Quaker offense. During the first few weeks of the season, coach Leslie King played around with Allen’s place in the batting order.

Quarterbacks coach Larry Woods announces retirement FOOTBALL | After 22 seasons at Penn, the tutor of Billy Ragone and Mark DeRose moves on

BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor An era has ended for Penn football.

After 22 seasons at Penn — including 19 as quarterbacks coach — Larry Woods announced his retirement Wednesday.

In his time on campus, Woods tutored seven of the Quakers’ top 10 all-time leaders in passing yards, including three-time Ivy champion Billy Ragone and eventual Major League Baseball star Mark DeRosa.

“It’s just time,” Woods said

in a press release. “ I’ve been fortunate to be around some great people — both coaches and players — and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Penn. It’s my home. In a rather transient occupation, to stay at one place for this long is rare, and I’ve been fortunate to be a part of nine championships in 21 years.”

Under Woods’ guidance, four different Penn quarterbacks notched 350+ yard single-game passing efforts. This includes Gavin Hoffman, the school’s alltime leading passer and Woods’ first quarterback to receive an NFL contract, a free agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2000.

With Woods leaving, the Penn coaching staff knows it has lost

Sports Desk (215) 898-6585 ext. 147

a valuable member.

“After a very long and accomplished coaching career I would like to express my appreciation to Larry for all he has done for our football program,” coach Al Bagnoli said. “I will certainly miss his friendship, professional insight and coaching expertise.”

But Woods is more grateful for what he was able to accomplish off the field.

“I would like to think that I had some small impact on those championships and on the lives of my players,” he said. “I tried to help shape them, impart some bit of wisdom and knowledge and develop them both as quarterbacks and, more importantly, men.

“It can’t get any better than that.”

The Leopards were able to bring in four more runs in the top of the eighth before the Quakers pitching staff took control back of the game. For the game, Penn only allowed three hits in the first seven innings and eight in total for the matchup, though senior lefty Matt Gotschall was touched up a bit, surrendering four runs on t h ree h it s du r i ng t he Leopards’ mini-rally.

Sprints? Jumping? No problem for Jancewicz TRACK AND FIELD The freshman has excelled as a multievent competitor

BY COLIN HENDERSON Associate Sports Editor In track and f ield, conventional wisdom holds that specialization optimizes results. For the most part, runners run, sprinters sprint, jumpers jump and throwers throw.

But Noel Jancewicz was never one for conventional wisdom.

Over the course of just a few short months, the freshman multi-event athlete has proven herself to be another key contributor in Penn’s outstanding freshman class

Seven-game losing skid in the past now SOFTBALL from page B1 harmless flyout to center to end the inning.

Penn took an early 1-0 lead when freshman Alexis Sargent hit into a fielder’s choice with the bases loaded in the bottom of the third inning, scoring freshman Leah Allen. The Quakers could not capitalize on the situation any further though, as catcher Korinne Raby popped out a nd shor tstop L auren L i lined out to end the inning.

The Red and Blue were able to tack on a pair in the bottom of the fourth on the strength of a two-run single from senior designated hitter

and the program’s most versatile competitor.

Jancewicz began her high school career as a sprinter, but it didn’t take long for her to branch out into unfamiliar territory.

She did so with remarkable success, excelling in the 400 -meter, 100m and even the high jump. By her junior year, she was able to put two and two together and make the leap to multi-event competition.

She competed in the hept at h lon t owa r d s t he end of her junior year, and she didn’t look back.

“I guess that’s when I realized that I could compete [in multi-events] at a collegiate level,” Jancewicz said of her experience in the heptathlon.

She ended her high school

career as an All-American in the grueling event and decided to go to Penn to focus on multi-event competition.

“By then, colleges were pretty much focused on me as a multi-event athlete,” Jancew icz said. “But the Penn visit really stood out.”

Since making it to campus, she has been able to fit right in with the rest of Penn’s youth-heav y women’s squad, headlining the women’s f r esh m a n cl a ss alongside athletes like Cleo Whiting and Ashley Montgomery.

A s o n e m i g ht e x p e c t , though, the transition to college athletics has not been without challenges, especially on the competitive side of the spectrum.

“Obviously, the competi-

Elysse Gorney, which chased home Allen and freshman Casey Stevko.

Both of those runs proved to be much needed.

Temple was able to expose some chinks in Cuzick’s armor in the sixth, as the Owls rallied for three runs on three hits. The big blows were a pair of RBI doubles from center f ielder A nnie M a r copu lus a nd c at cher K ayly n Zierke. However, Cuzick was able to escape the jam with a big strikeout to keep the game tied and give the Quakers a chance to climb back in the lead.

Though Penn had runners on first and second with two outs in the bottom half of the inning, Dahlerbruch grounded out to second to end the frame.

She would get her revenge in extra innings.

In the bottom of the eighth, a f t e r A l l e n a n d G o r ne y reached base for the third

and fifth times, respectively, Dahlerbruch stepped to the plate staring at a tough 0-for3 afternoon. After working the count, the senior came through with a single to right field that chased Allen home and gave the Quakers a huge victory.

“I started off not hitting the ball well and swinging and missing a lot,” Dahlerbruch said. “But for the last at-bat, I said: ‘Forget about what happened and focus on now.’ When I got to two strikes I thought: ‘Put the ball in play and just tap it,’ and that’s what I did.”

“It’s nice to have a couple wins going into the Harvard series this weekend because it is a tough series, no doubt,” coach Leslie King added.

But a f t er Wed nesd ay ’s display of toughness by the Quakers in a clutch situation, the pressure will be on Har vard to match Penn’s newfound momentum.

tion in college is tougher,” Jancewicz said. “I actually prefer multi-events because I have to do so much running around from event to event [in single-event competition].”

Mu lt i - e vent c o ac h Jo e K l i m has ex pla i ned t hat Jancewicz’s relative inexperience with some facets of multi-event competition has contributed to some of the challenges of this transition.

“She’s a natural runner ... but she’s basically a novice in the shot put,” he said.

Jancewicz has also faced challenges unique to multievent athletes, including a difficult training schedule and a shortage of multi-event teammates.

“We definitely have longer practices, and we start

before the other athletes,” Jancewicz said.

“I think my schedule has a lot to do with [her scheduling difficulties],” Klim added.

However, despite the challenges she has faced, Jancewicz has achieved a large deg ree of success in the first stage of her collegiate career, accruing numerous top-three finishes in individual and multi-event competition.

K l i m l a r gely acc r ed it s her success to her unique athletic ability and general approach in multi-event competition. He explained that Jancewicz’s exceptional cardiovascular f itness allows her to stay in top form t hroug hout a meet whi le other athletes get tired.

Jancewicz may be only a

freshman, but that hasn’t stopped Klim from setting her goals high, even in her rookie outdoor season.

“The ultimate goal is to win the pentathlon at Heps,” Klim said. “She has the talent to do it.”

As always, this type of goal cannot be achieved overnight, but rather in small incremental steps, one meet at a time.

This next step will come this weekend at Princeton’s Sam Howell Invitational. The meet will give the men’s and women’s teams a chance to follow up their strong performances at the R aleigh Relays.

And it will give a chance for a versatile freshman sensation to once again keep conventional wisdom at bay.

With numerous seniors graduating, freshman outfielder Leah Allen has stepped up and filled a need in the middle of Penn’s lineup. She boasted a .622 slugging percentage heading into Wednesday’s win over Temple.

Allen hopes to be as solid as Turchin ALLEN from page B1 “I led of f two games I think,� Allen recalled. “For the most part I’m somewhere in the middle of the lineup.�

As of late, King has Allen batting between fourth or fifth in the lineup, the

place usually reserved for the strongest hitter on the tea m. Given A llen’s .622 slugging percentage, it is easy to see why she hits where she does.

Allen doesn’t seem to feel pressured by her favorable place in the batting order. “Hitting is my favor ite par t of the game,� A llen explained, “so I want to be somewhere [in the lineup] where I can do stuff.�

Despite Allen’s success in her debut season, she ac k nowle d ge d , “sof t ba l l

is such a dependent sport where you can’t do everything on your own.�

Allen knows that she has to rely on the example of upperclassmen role models to push the limits of her playing. In particular, she hopes to learn from the example of fellow outfielder Sydney Turchin. “She just plays the outfield so well,� A llen said. “Hopefully I will play like her someday.�

here is something dif ferent about Penn baseball this year.

In 2013, the Quakers got off to a hot start to the season, winning 16 of their first 23 games, including their first three in Ivy play.

And 2014 has had a similar start, as the Red and Blue have won their first four Ivy contests, overcoming a slow start behind some hot bats — sen ior out f ielder R ick Brebner for example — and some strong pitching, including junior Connor Cuff, the Ancient Eight’s leader in earned run average.

So what is dif ferent between the two strong starts?

Brebner and Cuff were both parts of last year ’s squad and two of the key mashers in last year’s lineup — Ryan Dietrich and Spencer Branigan — graduated.

Ultimately, what makes coach John Yurkow’s version of the R ed and Blue different is a full team performance.

L ast ye a r ’s l i neup was he av i ly r el i a nt on just a few hitters, especially Dietrich, Branigan and thenfreshman Michael Vilardo.

W hi le Brebner a nd t hensophomore catcher Austin Bossart were contributors as well, the team seemed to live and die with the performance of just a few hitters.

T h is yea r, t he key h its a r e com i ng f r om a nyone and everyone. Brebner and Bossart have been key while junior Jef f McGar r y, who was exclusively a pitcher last season, has excelled in the middle of the lineup, mashing four home runs in 20 games.

A nd it hasn’t just been McGarry excelling with the long ball. The Quakers have four batters w ith at least three home runs last year, something only three players did last year in nearly twice as many games played.

man Jack Hartman to fuel their current six-game win streak heading into the second set of Ivy doubleheaders.

However, it was around this time last season that the wheels fell of f, as the Red and Blue lost 11 of their last 14 games.

Yet these Quakers don’t seem doomed to repeat history.

Whether it has been the major steps for ward that Cuff, Brebner and McGarry have taken or the balanced lineup, this team isn’t building up to an eventual collapse like last year.

But with a strong senior class and contributions from each class, this team has the ability to compete with defending champion Columbia for a spot i n the Iv y L eag ue Championship series.

Overall, Penn’s lineup has been much more circular, being able to pick up outbursts from the top of the lineup to the bottom. “If you can get production and it is mixed and consistent one through nine, it just makes it tough for opposing teams to pitch to you,�

Yurkow said.

Breaking down the Final Four contenders M. HOOPS | Florida, UConn, Kentucky and Wisconsin all vie for the NCAA title

BY IAN WENIK Sports Editor Consider our bracket alive — but just barely so. DPOSTM lost three of its Final Four teams — two in the Elite Eight, another in the Sweet Sixteen — but is still clinging onto its championship prediction of Florida. Let’s take a look back at last week’s craziness and look forward to the culmination of it all.

What We Got Right Florida advancing easily As predicted, the Gators emerged from the South regional with relative ease, toying with UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen before holding overmatched Day ton at ar ms length in the Elite Eight. The catalyst for Florida’s ticket to the Final Four? The electric play of point guard Scottie Wilbekin, who dropped 23 points against the Flyers, while also picking up three steals.

Michigan State toppling Virginia In one of the tournament’s most thrilling games, the Spartans and Cavaliers went toe-to-toe at Madison Square Garden, with neither team budging an inch. Coach Tom Izzo’s decision to order an intentional miss of a late free throw that gave Virginia one last heave at the basket might have been risky, but his decision to leave the ball in the hands of Branden Dawson wasn’t — the junior guard pulled down 10 rebounds and accounted for almost half his team’s points in the 61-59 Michigan State win.

What We Got Wrong Doubting John Calipari and Kentucky I suppose we now know what the “real” Kentucky is.

The Wildcats banded together to pick up two clutch wins

over last year’s national finalists, Louisville and Michigan, looking experienced beyond their years in the process.

Few people in Lexington will ever forget the sight of Aaron Harrison nailing a contested three-pointer with 2.3 seconds remaining in Kentucky’s Elite Eight matchup with the Wolverines, which clinched the program’s third Final Four appearance in four years.

Expecting history to repeat itself for Wisconsin Badgers coach Bo Ryan traditionally attended the Final Four with his late father after his team had been eliminated. Now, he’ll be coaching on college basketball’s biggest stage. His Wisconsin squad barely outlasted topseeded Arizona in overtime, 64-63, sending home one of DPOSTM’s Final Four picks and chasing away all the ugly memories of previous early NCAA Tournament exits in the process. His team has as good a shot as any in the semifinals.

Final Four Predictions Sports Editor Ian Wenik Florida (1) over UConn (7) Sure, UConn beat Florida back when these two teams met in December, 65-64. But it took a miracle Shabazz Napier buzzer beater to beat the Gators back then, and it will take even more now, considering that was the last time Florida lost a game.

Equally disconcerting for the Huskies has to be the fact that they got virtually nothing from their frontcourt in their 60-54 win over Michigan State in the Elite Eight, as forwards Philip Nolan, Amida Brimah, Niels Giffey and DeAndre Daniels combined to shoot 8-for-24 from the field.

That kind of effort will put UConn behind the eight ball very early on.

For Florida, Patric Young must be salivating at the prospect of taking on UConn’s soft frontcourt. He’s racked up eight blocks in the tourna-

ment, four of them coming in the Elite Eight against Dayton. I don’t see the Huskies having anything that even resembles an answer to either him or defensive-minded frontcourt-mate Will Yeguete on the boards.

All that considered, I don’t see any way Florida lets itself get caught napping for this game. The Gators have that loss from December firmly in the back of their minds, and are just too focused to let a repeat failure occur. Florida wins big.

Kentucky (8) over Wisconsin (2) You can stop with all the Old School jokes about Wisconsin forward Frank “the tank” Kaminsky now. Sure, he bullied his way to 28 points and 11 boards in the Elite Eight, but Arizona simply didn’t have anyone that possessed the size or quickness to contend with him. Kentucky does.

Whether it’s freshman Dakari Johnson — a space-filling seven-footer — or likely lottery pick Julius Randle, the Wildcats have plenty of kinks to throw into K aminsk y’s game. Of course, Wisconsin has outstanding three-point shooters in Ben Brust and Sam Decker, but the Wildcats also have enough on the perimeter to force the ball into bricklayer Traveon Jackson’s hands.

Of fensively, Kentuck y ’s dribble drive will be able to speed the game up to a level that the Badgers usually shun, which opens the door up to transition opportunities for Randle, along with Aaron and Andrew Harrison.

And that’s what’s going to be the difference. Kentucky’s youth will be able to run up and down the floor, ultimately running Wisconsin out of the tournament.

National Title Game Florida (1) over Kentucky (8) The supposedly-weak state of the SEC was used as a point

of criticism against Florida all year long. Well, now that the conferences has two teams in the Final Four, who’s laughing now?

Florida probably is. After all, the Gators have beaten the Wildcats three times this year: at home, on the road and on a neutral floor. The closest of those contests was the SEC Tournament final, in which Florida only escaped by one point, 61-60. In that contest, Kentucky neutralized Young, Yeguete and Casey Prather, daring Florida to win through its jump shooting.

But that’s what the Gators did — Wilbekin and Michael Frazier II hit seven threes — and that’s what they’ll do again at AT&T Stadium. Wilbekin has shown too much poise in this tour nament to back down when it matters most, not on the biggest stage of all, and especially not against a conference rival like the Wildcats.

Don’t get me wrong, this will be a close game, and Florida will get tested just as much as it did in the SEC Final. That doesn’t mean the result isn’t going to be the same in the end.

DPOSTM’s original championship prediction holds, as the Gators cut down the nets after winning their 32nd game in a row.

Final Four Predictions Senior Sports Editor Steven Tydings UConn (7) over Florida (1) Oh Ian, I’m not going to let you go chalk all the way to the end. No. 1 overall is not destined for another run to the end like Louisville last year.

Instead, much like Kemba Walker did for the Huskies in 2011, a senior point guard in Napier is ready to take Connecticut to the national title game. After all, it was this same Huskies squad that dealt Florida its most recent loss, all the way back in December.

I learned in 2011 not to

UConn senior guard Shabazz Napier lifted his squad to a win over the Huskies’ Final Four opponent, Florida, with a jumper as time expired back on Dec. 2. doubt a star guard playing for Connecticut, regardless of whether it’s Jim Calhoun or Kevin Ollie coaching the Huskies. Call me crazy, but with all the hype around a group of freshmen this year (Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins to name a few), it’s going to be the senior guard getting things done.

Kentucky (8) over Wisconsin (2) There is nothing more infuriating than watching Big Ten basketball (I’d much rather watch most Ivy games than boring Wisconsin-Purdue affairs). Therefore, I’ve got to go against the Badgers. Sure, Wisconsin has a grade-A quality mascot (Badgers are pretty awesome) but Kentucky is peaking at the right time and

coach John Calipari is doing some of his best work at the perfect time.

National Title Game Kentucky (8) over UConn (7) Yes, this kind of contradicts my ‘senior star point guard trumps all’ rant from above, but these Wildcats from Lexington, Ky. are some of the most electrifying players I’ve seen in a while. With the way that freshmen Aaron Harrison and Randle are playing, not to mention a plethora of other guys at Calipari’s disposal, this is another year for a group of extremely talented first-years to take the NCAA by storm and give the preseason No. 1 overall team — Kentucky — its second championship in three years.
