Penn announced Geoffrey Garrett will be the next dean of the Wharton School of Business on March 17. He will take office on July 1 2014.

Even Geoffrey Garrett acknowledges that he is an unusual pick for the Wharton dean position “I look like an unusual candidate for the dean job,” Garrett said in a Skype interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian last Sunday.

“One, I am in an institution halfway around the world in Australia. Second, my academic training is in political economy. It’s not in management or finance. “But the more I think about it, the more I see that my experience both as a research academic and an academic leader positioned me well for the Wharton job,” he added.

Students, administrators and faculty rallied against sexual and domestic violence BY JILL CASTELLANO Staff Writer Over a hundred students marched beside one another last night, holding signs and shouting to everyone who could hear: “Break the silence, end the violence!” The march was part of Penn’s annual event Take Back the Night, a peaceful protest to speak out against domestic and sexual violence. The event — run by Penn’s student group Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention, with the help of the Penn Women’s Center and Penn’s all-male sexual assault peer education group One in Four, as well as other organizations — began on College Green with a rally. This was followed by an hour-long march around campus, and then a survivor vigil and speakout at Wynn Commons. The keynote speaker for the rally was Ivone Falk, an alumna of Penn’s School of Social Policy & Practice, who was raped while in college. As

she shared the details of her personal experience with sexual violence, audience members both cried and cheered in support. “My life has been drastically altered but my spirit has not been shattered,” Falk said. After recovering from the physical injuries she received that night, Falk started speaking in classrooms at her undergraduate university, the University of California, San Diego, about sexual assault and was even interviewed by her local media station about her experience. “So many women would approach me and would tell me that my story convinced them to come forward about their own abuse,” Falk said. “I think that’s the only thing that kept me going.” College junior Joanna Kamhi, the chair of ASAP, said that Take Back the Night is intended to provide a safe space for survivors to share their stories and to help others rally in support. “Unfortunately, this kind of space is rare in society today, given the systems and institutions in place that permit and condone sexual violence,” she said. “We’re here to celebrate the SEE RALLY PAGE 7

The line between criticism and conversation isn’t always clear. Last Thursday, the documentary “J Street Challenge” was screened as part of an event cosponsored by Hillel of Greater Philadelphia and other Jewish organizations in the area that addressed the question of what it means to be pro-Israel. In the documentary, J Street activists were criticized for being “moral narcissists” because of their support for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. Penn’s chapter of the organization, which describes itself as “pro-Israel, pro-peace” and advocates for a two state solution for Arab-Israeli conf lict, felt “shocked and betrayed” said J Street U Penn co-chair Ryan Daniels, a College senior and former Daily Pennsylvanian columnist. J Street is part of the Penn Hillel umbrella organization, and by extension HGP, “so it was really surprising to hear that they would be sponsoring an event that is so marginalizing toward our organization,” he said. For some students, the documentary’s open criticism of J Street has raised many questions about the openness of HGP itself. The documentary screening has made other students within the HGP umbrella question HGP’s loyalty to its constituent groups. “Our issue is not with the movie itself being screened, but rather the fact that HGP has associated itself with it,” Daniels said. “We rely on HGP for funding and support. We are really confused as to why they would sponsor an event that attacks us, especially without student support,” he said. While HGP admits that they d id n’t have ti me to consult students before endorsing the event, a fact that they “deeply regret,” they maintain that this event is not an attack on J Street U Penn. “We do have certain misgivings about the movie, but we felt that, because of the other aspects of the event, it would have some sort of educational value, and, because of that, we had to support it,” Rabbi Howard Alpert, executive director of HGP, said. Rabbi Mike Uram of Penn Hillel also maintained that Hillel is supportive of J Street U Penn. “Hillel is incredibly proud of J Street and the work they do,” he said. “They do an incredible job of being pro-Israel activists and contributing to larger discussions on campus,” he said. In addition to the screening, the event also featured a panel discussion between several prominent Jewish professionals and academics in the Philadelphia area. “I hope that this event will lead to a robust conversation both about the topic of the program itself — asking the question ‘What constitutes support for Israel?’ — and I hope this will lead to a robust conversation about the larger idea of expression.” Alpert said.

Zoning hurdles remain for nearby development

Approval for residences, restaurant across from Clark Park is pending

retail and parking, it meets existing zoning board regulations and therefore bypasses direct community approval. “General consensus is that the as of right project is something [the community is] not

in support of,” Spruce Hill Zoning Committee Chair Barry Grossbach said. The new project by U3 Ventures grew out of community distaste for the as of right project.

The building will be divided into two connected sections — a five-story segment of condos on 43rd Street and an eightstory section along Baltimore Avenue that will include apartments and a 10,000-square-

foot fitness center. Plans for 4224 Baltimore also include a restaurant with outdoor seating facing Clark Park. U3 Ventures is currently in informal talks with retailers for the space. Additional retail

options include a dry cleaner, and the School of Veterinary Medicine has also expressed an interest in the development. Condos will cost around $450 per square foot and apartments will be priced at $1,700 to $2,000 per month. The developers hope to attract young professionals working at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia or the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “Right now the zoning committee is still discussing the process moving forward and the next step,” Grossbach said. “The feedback we had gotten from the meeting was for the most part positive.” The developers next need to apply for zoning approval from the community. The zoning board will hear the developer’s testimony and go over plans before making a decision. Grossbach added that, when and if U3 Ventures gets to zoning, the process will probably take several months. “When you’re dealing with zoning and with complicated projects you never know how it will go,” Grossbach said.

2014. More than 140 events will take place across the city between April 4 and April 12. The annual celebration of Philadelphia’s tech community — which is expected to attract 25,000 participants — is coordinated by Technical.ly Philly, a local media organization that focuses on technology and innovation in Philadelphia. The Technical.ly team is focused on involving more university students in Tech Week this year, according to Technical.ly Philly Events Coordinator Corinne Warnshuis. “One of the main reasons that we moved Philly Tech Week from the end of April to the beginning of April was

that it was a hard time for students, being finals week,” she said. “We really wanted to engage students in some of the awesome opportunities and events, so we pushed it up.” The Technical.ly team believes the Tetris event planned for Saturday and Sunday nights will help bring in the students they are seeking. Brian James Kirk, Technical.ly’s co-founder and director of business development, also sees Tech Week as a way to engage a larger population. “It’s not just the people who come to the outdoor festival we’re hosting, but literally people who drive by on I-95 seeing this happen and tweet-

ing about it,” he said of the Tetris event. Early video game Pong was animated on the side of the Cira Centre during last year’s Philly Tech Week. The larger-than-life interactive game was originally the brainchild of Drexel University Associate Professor of Digital Media Frank Lee, who is also cofounder of the Drexel Game Design Program. “He had this vision for playing a video game on the side of the Cira Centre as an art installation that could intermix civic engagement and public arts­, something on a large scale,” Kirk said. He added that the Pong game brought

together Philly Tech Week’s sponsors, including building developer Brandywine Realty Trust. While Philly Tech Week exhibits the achievements of the city’s growing tech scene, organizers also strive to attract the attention of the Philadelphians who don’t have access to internet or mobile devices. Technical.ly Philly hopes to expose that population to new technology by bringing them together with the city’s tech innovators. “One of the other major goals of Tech Week is to engage the broader community into the week,” Warnshuis said. “A big issue that we

cover in our daily coverage is bridging the digital divide and bringing access to other communities that are underserved.” Philly Tech Week 2014 will feature events in several neighborhoods organized by about 100 organizations, including presentations by local community and business leaders. The events fall under six categories: Dev, Civic, Media, Business, Access and Creative. One of the kickoff events, the Philly Robotics Expo, will be hosted on campus at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology throughout the day on Friday.

BY CLAIRE COHEN Deputy News Editor Although plans are becoming more concrete, construction is still months away for the restaurant and residences coming to 43rd Street and Baltimore Avenue. At a meeting on March 26, developer U3 Ventures presented its revised proposal for the mixed-use building to nearly 90 community members and the Spruce Hill Zoning Committee. The plan aims for 132 units of one to three bedroom apartments and condos as well as 17,000 square feet of retail space. Community members at the meeting expressed concern that the new building will be out of character with the surrounding Victorian homes. The owners of 4224 Baltimore, the Clarkmore Group, LLC, have “as of right” permission to construct a 92-unit residential building without retail. Since the design lacks

Penn, Phila. Hillel say they support J Street J STREET from page 1 Da n iel s , however, d i s agrees. “This isn’t going to create dialogue. This is a bunch of board members mak ing a decision behind closed doors that directly attacks some of their own students,” he said. “This is the kind of event that stifles student voices and conversations on campus.” Engineering senior and J Street U Penn member Israel Geselowitz attended the event and said that “there was no sort of discussion at all.” “There was no way to see this as educational at all. It was entirely centered around the movie and the tone of the event was completely anti-J Street,” he said. “It wasn’t even worth it to ask a question or create some sort of dialogue, because we knew we’d just be shot down.” This is not the first time J Street’s views have come under attack on campuses. Three years ago, when

J Street was not yet a recognized member group of Hillel nationwide, there was pushback from students to the appearance of J Street executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami at Penn Hillel. J Street U Penn is now a member organization of Penn Hillel, but members say the organization still faces criticism from HGP. In October 2012, J Street U Penn was informed they could not hold an event featuring “Breaking the Silence,” a group of former Israeli Defense Force soldiers, in the Hillel building on campus. “Breaking the Silence” speakers have come to disagree with Israeli military policy and speak about their experiences serving in the West Bank and Gaza. After the group delivered a petition signed by 27 Penn Hillel student leaders, the event was approved by HGP on March 13 and took place at Hillel. Hillel, as an international organization, does have “certain guidelines about what kinds of events and programs it can support,” said Alpert. H i l l e l I n t e r n a t i o n a l ’s “Guidelines for Campus Israel Activities” says the organization believes that Israel is central to students’ Jewish experience, writing that

“Hillel views Israel as a core element of Jewish life and a gateway to Jewish identification for students.” The guidelines encourage Hillels across the country to foster “a diversity of student perspectives on Israel and [strive] to create an inclusive, pluralistic community where students can discuss matters of interest and/or concern about Israel and the Jewish people in a civil manner.” However, events which “Deny the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish and democratic state with secure and recognized borders; Delegitimize, demonize, or apply a double standard to Israel; [or] Support boycott of, divestment from, or sanctions against the State of Israel” are not allowed. Earlier this semester, students of Swarthmore Hillel, at the small and elite liberal arts college outside Philadelphia, faced pushback from Hillel International over the decision to become an Open Hillel, which allows Zionist as well as anti-Zionist people and groups to speak at the Hillel. Swarthmore Hillel, which is under the HGP umbrella, made these changes despite warnings from Eric Fingerhut, president of Hillel International , who later told

FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014 PAGE 3

the New York Times that “anti-Zionists will not be permitted to speak using the Hillel name or under the Hillel roof under any circumstances.” Overall, Swarthmore student s r e ac t e d p osit ively to the change, said Isabel Knight, a Swarthmore student and reporter who covered the controversy for the Swarthmore Daily Gazette . “Many Jewish students felt even more welcome at Hillel than before because they felt this decision meant they were being told directly that they would not be persecuted or judged for their stance on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, regardless of whether they were Zionist or anti-Zionist,” she said in an email. Though the international branch of Hillel may not have been supportive of Swarthmore Hillel’s change, HGP says they have remained committed to the students. “The students of Swarthmore Hillel are wonderful,” A lper t sa id . “ T hey wer e st r u g g l i n g w it h w h at it means to be an all-inclusive Jewish community, and they have behaved only in ways that are appropriate and responsible.”

Why men should embrace Lulu

O

THE SCREWTINIZER | The app #EmpowersWomen, but it can #BenefitMen, too

nce, when I was traveling abroad, I ate a truffle so delicious that I was inspired to create an account on TripAdvisor just to write about it. In my review, I gushed about the flavor of the truffle and recommended the restaurant, Josephine Cafe, to anyone in the area. If I’d had that truffle on a date, and the date had gone particularly well, would I have written a review of that, too? It’s totally possible, with the app Lulu. Launched in 2013 by women searching for some kind of cyber-sisterhood, Lulu allows women (sorry, gay men) to rate their dates through a series of blatantly honest hashtags — everything from #FlowersJustBecause, #ObsessedWithHisMom and #SleepsInTheWetSpot. Did a former flame cheat?

Call him #WanderingEye. Was he a true gentleman? Lulu tells you who puts #LadiesFirst. Basically, it’s like Yelp for men.

‘‘

Rather than being full of the vindictive reviews that men seem wary of, most Lulu scores are actually full of praise.” Is this kind of unabashed reviewing fair to men? Unsurprisingly, lots of dudes don’t think so. There’s been huge resistance to the app and the whole rating schema altogether, including a full-on Change. org petition to shut down Lulu on the basis that “men have no say in what content is posted

about them, and also have no way to view content posted about them.” So just this month, Lulu (quietly) changed its policy: Instead of requiring disgruntled men to request that Lulu take their profiles down, it now requires men to sign up to be rated. Changing from an optout to an opt-in model, thousands of profiles disappeared overnight. Is this a big move for the app? Absolutely. But should men take this opportunity to stay away from Lulu? No, I don’t think so. According to the company’s stats, one in four college women has Lulu downloaded on her phone. And here’s the thing: The girls are actually really nice. The majority of scores on my feed are above a 7.0, with more than a handful of ratings above 9.0. Take my friend Ken Schindler, a junior in the Col-

lege. Before his Lulu profile disappeared last month with the app’s new policy, he boasted a near-perfect score of 9.8, described by hashtags like #OneoftheGoodOnes, #4.0GPA and #TallDarkAndHandsome. As for the negatives? His Lulu crushes said #NothingBadAboutHim. But now, his perfect profile is gone. Should he opt back in? I think so. For the record, when I asked Schindler about his profile, he had no idea it even existed — but I don’t think there’s any reason he shouldn’t want prospective girlfriends to know that he #BelievesInLove. There are plenty of other Penn men who can benefit from being “vouched” by Lulu. Consider College sophomore Jacob Wallenberg, who boasts a score of 9.0. Reviews from two crushes reveal that he is #AlmostTooPerfect. Or take College senior Andrew Levin,

who has also been reviewed twice and boasts a whopping 9.6 for his #K issableLips, #SkinLikeButta and the fact that he #LovesHisFamily. Even the negative ratings are charitable (it’s rumored that the Lulu scoring algorithm bottoms out at a rating of 4). The worst score on my Lulu feed belonged to a College senior, who I’ll leave unnamed for his proclivity to give the #World’sWorstMassages. He wound up with a total score of 6.7 — even with hashtags like #ManChild. So if women are generally pretty generous with their ratings and they’re using the app to recommend their guy friends, crushes and ex-boyfriends to other women rather than to bash them for past experiences, why are men so afraid of it? Rather than being full of the vindictive reviews that men seem wary of, most Lulu scores are actually full

ARIELLE PARDES of praise. Lulu can be just as helpful for men as it is for women. The system of “vouching” men through former flames can only benefit a guy who treats women the right way by rewarding him with future dates from girls who check his Lulu score. That said, the only way to really know if a man really #RespectsWomen or is a #GreatListener is to put down the phone and give him a chance. ARIELLE PARDES is a College senior from San Diego.

o the University of Pennsylvania,

As an alumna and mental health advocate, I was thrilled to recently learn the University would be taking swift, proactive steps to ad d r e s s me nt a l he a lt h services and create a task force focused on that issue. I’m very grateful that you’ve shown such dedication to this important issue. However, I was discouraged to hear that students wouldn’t be included on that task force, and I sincerely hope you will reconsider. There is no better way to ensure you are meeting the mental health needs of students than to involve them in the conversation. Research shows that when students are in distress, they turn to each other first — before they seek out parents, teachers or professionals. No mental health strategy will be successful without

students at the core. And although the task force plans to solicit student input, that is simply not enough. You owe it to your students, their parents, your a lu m ni a nd donors a nd future generations to adequately prioritize the student voice when discussing their mental health issues. As you know, your students are incredibly intelligent and passionate. That’s why you accepted them into your university in the first place. That’s why I’m so proud to be a Penn alumna. They are intimately aware of the mental health challenges in your campus community and thus are perfectly suited to be at the center of this discussion. I have no doubt they will bring brilliant ideas and creative solutions for addressing mental health problems and supporting the mental health of their peers. You have shown a longstanding dedication to men-

tal health issues. In 2002, my junior year at Penn, you created a very similar Mental Health Outreach Task Force. I had the great honor of serving as a stu-

dent representative on that body, and I wholeheartedly believe my peers and I contributed priceless insight during the conversation. Why? Because students are the ones dealing with these issues day in and day out. This isn’t just an extracurricular activity — it’s personal, so we put our hearts and souls into this work. For me, this work has always been personal. When I was just a freshman, I l e a r n e d w h at h a p p e n s

Reeling from my loss and searching for an answer, I gathered together my fellow students to start a conversation about mental health. What started as a personal passion and commitment at Penn quickly grew into a national movement. I turned that small student group I started on your campus into the national nonprofit, Active Minds, Inc. Ten years later, Active Minds is now supporting a network of thousands of

student mental health advocates on more than 400 college campuses across the United States. And each and every day, I see the power of students to contribute to the conversation about mental health, to save lives and to transform how their colleges and universities are addressing mental health. I would encourage you to look at your own peers and take note from those who are emerging as leaders in this arena. George Washington University included Active Minds’ student leadership on its task force to improve mental health services on campus and has made great strides in strengthening those ser vices. The College of William and Mary has a student serving on its Health and Wellness Committee, a cross-collaborative group aimed at supporting well-being across the College. In 2015, Active Minds will be awarding institutions

Garrett keen on flipped classrooms WHARTON from page 1 toral degrees in political science at Duke University and his bachelor’s degree in the same subject at the Australian National University. Currently a dean and professor of business at the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales, he served as an associate professor at Wharton in 1995-1997, teaching multinational management. Management professor Peter Cappelli recalled working with Garrett in the 1990s. “He was — and I suspect still is — an outgoing guy willing to challenge the conventional wisdom as well as the status quo in organizations.” “I remember he is very articulate, has very good interpersonal skills, is easy to talk to,” management professor Stephen Kobrin said. Wharton professors commented that Garrett’s international and interdisciplinary background makes him a good choice to lead the school in a rapidly changing society. “Now, looking back, I am not surprised [about the appointment],” Kobrin said. “His international experience is really important for the school, and the fact that he is an interdisciplinary academic and a dean now.” M a nagement professor Mauro Guillen talked about Garrett’s remarkably prescient research on the connection between a country’s attributes and economic performance. Guillen pointed to one of Garrett’s most well-known and controversial publications, “Partisan Politics in the Global Economy,” published in 1998. Garrett predicted that social democratic government, though traditionally recognized as not as pro-business as conservative government, could also lead to economic growth. “What happened in Germany [in the past decade] is totally consistent with his theory,” said Guillen, whose research covers the same topics as Garrett. Garett doesn’t plan a significant shift in Wharton’s ethos. “Keeping W harton Wharton I think is the most important thing for me to do in the first instance,” Garrett said. “People talk appropriately about the Wharton way and the Wharton approach to business education. Certainly that’s something I respect enormously and just want to become part of. ” Leveraging Wharton’s strength When asked if he would rebrand Wharton and shift away from a finance-focused image, Garrett said, “What you want to do is leverage that, you don’t want to say you should move away from it.” As many western governments are struggling finan-

cially with the consequences of the global financial crisis, Garrett believes that finance will play an even bigger role in the future. “[Governments] will actually be looking more into creative private sector solutions to what we would consider [to be] social challenges,” he said. “The ability of global finance to leverage resources is just extraordinary, so never underestimate the innovativeness of finance. ” Garrett added that a Wharton education is also valuable in the technology industry. “If you think about a successful internet ... you have to have good technical ideas [and] good programmers,” he said. “Coming up with a good business model is at least as important, and certainly that’s where the Wharton savvy can add enormous value. “If you can bring financial savvy to the world of entrepreneurship and innovation, you are way ahead of the game.” Business education in an online world “ H a l f o f t he bu si ne s s schools in this country could be out of business in 10 years — or five,” Richard Lyons, the dean of University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek last month. He a rg ued t hat lower ra n ked busi ness schools would not be able to compete with online degrees issued by prestigious business schools. Garrett praised the fact that Penn is a leading institution in MOOCs — Massive Open Online Courses — and acknowledges that the MOOC platform Coursera helps “spread the word about how good things are on the ground, in the campus of Philadelphia.” However, he does not think that Wharton will issue online degrees, because an online program cannot substitute for the on-campus experience at Wharton.

“You can interact with some of the best academics in the world, you get a fantastic student cohort to interact with and you get a network of an extraordinary alumni community,” he said. Nevertheless, he believes that the “flipped classroom” will become a powerful concept in business education.

“What we should do is to allow students to consume lecture materials in their own time ... on their smartphones,” he said. “The precious and exciting part about the in-class experience is interaction.” Garrett pointed out that the challenges and opportunities of business schools today come from “the two biggest

forces in the past decades” — globalization and technology. “Dealing with the challenges as well as opportunities of globalization and technology are a big part of my job here [at University of New South Wales],” he said. “It plays out differently in different institutions, and Wharton is a unique institu-

tion,” he added. Throughout the interview, Garrett expressed a combination of modesty and confidence. “I am just incredibly privileged to have the opportunity to work with not only extraordinary members of faculties, but also extraordinary students and alumni,” he said.

Opening a window to discussion at the ARCH

Issues about the ARCH’s rising sun stained glass were discussed last night BY JENNY LU Staff Writer Even with proposed solutions, debate still continues at Penn on the next steps to take to resolve controversy surrounding a stained glass window in the ARCH. Students for Asian History Awareness — or SA H A — hosted an open discussion forum last night in the Hall of Flags in Houston Hall on the issue of the symbol of a r ising sun on a pane of stained glass located in the A RCH Ca fe. T he st a i ned glass has caused much controversy on campus since the ARCH opened after two

years of renovation. Korean and Chinese students on campus have perceived the rising sun stained glass as offensive because it looks like the historical Japanese military flag. For some students, this symbol evokes tensions arising from past Japanese imperialist aggressions against Korea, China and other East Asian countries, and they have called for the removal of the symbol. College junior Kwanwoo K im said he was aware of the historical significance of the stained glass pane to the ARCH building and to campus. But he encouraged Penn officials to “take a step back from history,” regardless of whether it is “right” or “wrong.” “If a sign or sy mbol offends a certain group of peo-

ple attending the institution, Penn should reconsider having it there,” Kim said. In the past, the University has wanted to preserve the rising sun pane because it, like other stained glass pa nes i n t he A R CH w i ndows, is a histor ical par t of the building, likely preserved from when the ARCH was first built in the 1920s. Thursday’s event began with a presentation by three expert panelists — Frank Chance, the associate director of the Center for East Asian Studies at Penn, John Yasuda, a postdoctoral fellow at Penn’s Center for the Study of Contemporary China and Holly Stephens, a history doctoral student — who spoke about Japan, China and Korea, respectively. College sophomore Seunghun Lee, a SAHA member and one of the event organizers, said he thought the ex p er t pr esent at ion w a s impor t ant to educate the audience about the history and culture surrounding the controversy. “[I wanted to] raise awareness of the issue and provide an opportunity to learn from experts,” Lee said. Following the presentation, Lee moderated a dis-

their displeasure about the stained glass. “I think this is still a very live and a very offensive issue,” Col lege sophomor e Minhyung Lee said. T he event was cosponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies and the PanA sia n A mer ica n Community House. Associate Vice Provost for Equity and Access William Gipson, who has been involved in d iscussions sur rounding the st a i ned g lass pa ne si nce concerns were first raised, said he was proud to witness such “a wonderful exchange of considerations about this matter.” The diversity of opinions were “representative of the University at its best,” Gipson said. The next steps involve a

follow-up with the original students who raised conc er n s a b out t he st a i ne d glass, Gipson said. For now, the University is continuing to proceed with the solution to add educational signage in the vicinity of the stained glass pane so those who see the rising sun symbol will also see the signs and become more aware of what it means and why it is there. “We’ve done the research and [drafted] the language,” Gipson said, explaining the p u r p o s e o f t he m e e t i n g would be to review the content and placement of the signs in the ARCH with the students. Based on the responses from the students, the University will then “see what the next steps are,” Gipson said.

Students say Rahman was very religious FUNDRAISING from page 1 of Rahman’s classmates were inspired to raise money in her name to help refurbish the mosque. C ol lege ju n ior A l l i son Denenberg, who knew Rahman from Masterman, said that it was clear at Rahman’s funeral how much her community loved her and how important the mosque was to her family. Raising money for them seemed like a “more personal and direct way to honor Fatima’s memory,” she said. Drexel University junior Mashaal Syed was also a

friend of Rahman’s in high school and has been taking the lead on the fundraising. She said that after seeing that the mosque could benefit from new paint, tiling and a thorough cleaning, everyone agreed that raising money for the mosque was the perfect way to honor Rahman’s memory. “She was really religious, so it’s in her honor and also helping to better her community,” Syed said. Syed said she hopes to raise $5,000 for renovations to the mosque and wants to help renovate the mosque with other Masterman alumni and community members. “I think there’s a lot of work that could be done in the mosque, which is why raising money would be great,” Wharton junior Kirsten Lau said. Lau knew Rahman in high

school and helped organize and donate to the fundraising campaign. Jihad Abouhatab, a community member at the mosque and the son of the imam, said that Rahman’s classmates approached him with the idea to raise money for the mosque. He sees it as a great “symbolic” gesture for them to give back to a community that was important to Rahman. Abouhatab said any proposed upgrades would have to be approved by the mosque’s board, so no details or timelines are finalized yet. Denenberg said the fundraiser for the mosque is especially appropriate for Rahman’s memory. “The last time I saw her, that’s where she was going, so to me it’s kind of poetic ... it’s kind of like that’s where she’s still going,” she said.

Other events at the rally included spoken word performances by students from The Excelano Project and a speech by Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush.

“I don’t have to tell you — we’ve had a tough, tough year. We’ve had mental health issues, we’ve had sexual assaults and we’ve had alcohol issues,” Rush said. “The only way that all of us in the administration can really take care of you is by encouraging you to take care of yourself and your friends. It’s the only way that we’re all going to protect each other.” The rally also included the reading of a letter from Penn President Amy Gutmann, who was unable to attend the event. “Here, tonight in this battle, you are helping turn this tide,” the letter read. “You shatter the silence with your voices by speaking powerfully of your own experiences. You empower those that have been

victim of sexual and relationship violence around the world and from every walk of life.” Take Back the Night has been an annual event since it was re-established on campus in 2009 and had existed at Penn for many years before then as well. This year looked like the biggest turnout so far, members of ASAP said. By the time Falk finished speaking, more students were gathered around College Hall than the eye could see. “I just realized that I was done feeling dirty, I was done feeling alone, I was done feeling robbed and I was done feeling ashamed,” Falk said. “I wasn’t alone. [Penn] truly helped me feel empowered — empowered to take back the night.”

After hitting its stride, Penn takes its show on the road

Red and Blue set out in search of redemption

SOFTBALL | Red and Blue look to keep three game winning streak alive vs. Ivy foes

W. TENNIS | Quakers take on Yale and Brown while facing a deficit in the Ivy League standings

BY SAM ALTLAND Staff Writer

Cambridge, Mass.

Dartmouth 14-13, 4-0 Ivy Saturday, Two games Hanover, N.H.

Penn softball hit its stride this week, and not a minute too soon. The Quakers are about to be truly tested by this weekend’s road trip to Harvard and Dartmouth. In what could be a defining weekend for the defending Ivy Champions, the Red and Blue (7-11, 2-0 Ivy) will take on the Crimson (13-11, 0-0) in a doubleheader on Friday in Cambridge, Mass., before jumping on a bus for two games in Hanover, N.H., against the Big Green (14-13, 4-0) on Saturday. The Quakers will make the trip north after coming off a successful week at home in which Penn pitched a pair of shutouts against Yale on Monday and also collected a rare nonconference win against Temple on Wednesday. Most importantly, Penn’s bats have finally woken up this week. The Quakers are averaging 3.33 runs per game this week, after averaging less than a run per game in their 0-7 stretch in mid-March. However, both Dartmouth and Harvard look like solid obstacles to Penn’s title contention. Dartmouth is coming off a four-game win streak where it swept doubleheaders against Princeton and Cornell. Harvard has also won its last four contests despite seeing its first four Ivy games post-

Due to a shorter spring training schedule and seemingly endless rain cancellations, Penn has played nine fewer games then Dartmouth and six fewer than Harvard. With only 18 games under their belts, the Red and Blue have the second lowest games played total in the Ivy League, while Dartmouth and Harvard have the highest two. However, King believes that the team has mitigated the ef-

fects of the disparity with this last week of competition. “I feel like we are in a far better place this week than we were last week, because we got some really competitive games in,� she said. “There was a st r et ch wher e we weren’t getting a lot of games in, and I think that really impacts your hitting when the girls are not getting to see live pitching.� Yet while offensively the Quakers may have been playing catch up, Penn will head into this weekend with what has consistently been one of the best pitching staffs in the league. The Quakers boast the top two pitchers in the league in terms of earned run average in freshman Alexis Sargent and junior Alexis Borden, and have the added benefit of two

freshman standouts in Sargent and Courtney Cuzick, both of whom are unknowns to the opposition. “I think we are very fortunate to have one of the deepest staffs in the conference, and it gives us an advantage in terms of flexibility,� King said. “To have three girls that you can put in there and rely on like that is great for our program.� W it h a t oug h weekend ahead of them, the Quakers are hopeful that they are heating up at just the right time to enter the heart of Ivy play. “We just need to really keep building on what we have done this past week,� junior outfielder Sydney Turchin said. “We just want to keep it a team effort, focus on winning together and keep moving in the right direction.�

know why for us it tends to be one or the other. So hopefully for the f irst time we play pretty well on offense and on defense, and we have some success in both areas.� It was the Red and Blue’s defensive strength that allowed them to beat Yale last weekend and only allow five goals. “I think a lot of it has come dow n to communication,� Blonsky said. “We are talking a lot more. Coach is mak-

ing us play with short sticks so we have to move our feet more and [play] more of a team defense. Before, we were playing as individuals so more communication has really helped out.� But as Murphy said, if the Quakers can keep their defense from last weekend but bring back the offense they played against Denver or Villanova, then a top finish in the Ancient Eight could be in store for the Red and Blue.

It just depends on which squad shows up Saturday. “Obviously we feel better this week coming of f of a win and a good performance than we did coming off of weeks prior coming off losses,� Murphy said. “But we really do look at process and quality.� The Quakers hope the momentum from the win over Yale and the energ y from returning alumni will help in their pursuit of a second win.

pairs, as the Red and Blue swept all three doubles matches against the Tigers last week to earn the doubles point, an occurrence that has become commonplace. Though the Quakers have proven their dominance in doubles play all season, both the Bears and the Elis are brimming with talent that will undoubtedly pose problems for the Red and Blue at every position. Brown has relied on a young lineup all season, utilizing freshman Dayna Lord at the No. 1 position in both singles and doubles play. Meanwhile, the Elis have been invigorated by the success of superstar sophomore Madeleine Hamilton — last year’s Ivy Rookie of the Year and a first-team All-Ivy selection — at the No. 1 spot. Just as lethal in doubles play, she and sophomore Ree Ree Li are dominating the Ancient Eight this year and are sitting tight at No. 58 in the national Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings. Penn will have to deploy its best lineup to have a fighting chance. “We have to [execute] what we established we needed to work on,� Kunovac said. “But we’re ready to go into battle.�

For Penn women’s tennis, this weekend is all about redemption. On Friday, the Quakers (7-5, 0-1 Ivy) will hit the road for a pair of back-to-back matches, first facing Brown (11-5) in Providence, R.I., then turning around quickly for a Saturday matinee against No. 52 Yale (87) in New Haven, Conn. The matches are timely for the Red and Blue. Last week, the squad fought hard against P r i nc et on but u lt i m at ely couldn’t keep it together, falling by a 5-2 margin. Now that they’ve had a week to reflect on the loss, they’re looking forward to getting back on track. “Every Ivy match is crucial. Nine months of work and training culminate into the Ivy season,� coach Sanela Kunovac said. “[But] coming off Princeton the week before, it would be great to get back into winning ways and to change the record.� It won’t be easy. Last year, the Red and Blue were able to top Brown by a 4-3 margin, relying on big wins from then-juniors Sol Eskenazi and Alex Ion in singles matches to slip by the Bears. The two weren’t as lucky the following day against the Bulldogs, as the Quakers fell, 5-2, despite a win from Eskenazi at the No. 1 spot. This year, the two have been dominant in separate doubles

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

Quakers will lean on Ivy Player of Week BASEBALL from page 10 drive the ball like you want to,” coach John Yurkow said. “We’re gonna have to play some small ball this weekend.” The conditions could set up another chance for the Quakers (11-10, 4-0 Ivy) to show their superiority on the pitcher’s mound. Penn bested Dar tmouth (4-13, 1-3) last year with two one-run victories at Meiklejohn Stadium, while splitting the series with the Crimson (5-14, 1-1). “It’s gonna be a little tougher,” Yurkow said. “When you go on the road, it’s a little more difficult to keep the momentum.” First on the docket will be Harvard, which has struggled thus far this season on both ends of the ball. The Crimson

pitching staff has combined to sport a 5.00 earned run average in conference play while their bats have only managed a .248 batting average on the season with just one home run. The Red and Blue’s offense, which has already hit 23 home runs this season, may be stifled by the weather, but its hot bats should be able to keep the winning streak intact. An important component of its recent success comes from senior outfielder Rick Brebner. Brebner leads the Ivy League with 18 runs scored and ranks second with a .605 slugging percentage. “I’ve just been seeing the ball well lately,” Brebner said. “When you get a good pitch, you gotta jump on it.” The reigning Ivy League Player of the Week played a crucial role in taking the Quakers to a 4-0 Ivy start and even hit two homers while racking up five RBI during the win against Lafayette on Wednesday. Dartmouth comes into the matchup sporting a couple

of very impressive wins over F lor ida Inter national and Kansas, two teams ranked in the top 30 when they met the Big Green. Dartmouth’s tough nonconference slate has given the squad experience going up against some of the nation’s top teams on its quest to defend their Red Rolfe division crown. However, the pitching staff for the Big Green has struggled, earning a 6.30 ERA thus far this season. If Dartmouth wants to prevent Penn from sweeping the Rolfe Division, the Big Green will have to improve their pitching and give up fewer hits — so far, they’ve surrendered 184, the secondworst mark in the Ancient Eight. “It’s gonna be bad conditions up there,” Brebner said. “We gotta play smart baseball if we wanna come out of there with a win.” With a shot to sweep the Red Rolfe Division for the first time in over 10 years, the Quakers will look to bring a little bit of their Meiklejohn magic with them to the Northeast.

Sophomore 174-pounder Casey Kent made his first showing at the NCAA Championships this year, but he has bigger visions than a first-round exit for next year. The program will look for him to continue to lead by example next season.

Quakers look to increase constistency BAGHERZADEH from page 9

Senior outfielder Rick Brebner has hit five home runs this season, which is four more than the entire Harvard squad. Brebner and the Quakers will look to continue their seven-game win streak when they face the Crimson and Dartmouth this weekend.

Quakers still in search of top 10 victory W. LACROSSE from page 10 win earlier in the week against No. 19 Georgetown. “One of the biggest things [against Georgetown] was our energy,” senior midfield Tory Bensen said. “We really came together as a unit on the field both defensively and on the offensive end, so we’re looking to carry that energy and that confidence into this weekend.” One of the keys to the game will be maintaining draw con-

trol. Penn edged Georgetown in that regard, tallying nine to Georgetown’s seven, but Northwestern poses even more of a challenge in that regard. The Wildcats are averaging 14.88 draw controls per game this year, good enough for 10th best in the nation. On the other hand, the Quakers have been struggling in that regard all season, averaging just 7.86, which ranks close to the bottom nationally. Penn has faced a difficult schedule this season, having already faced off against the two top-ranked programs in the nation in North Carolina and Maryland. However, a win against Northwestern would provide the team with its first win against a top 10 team this

season. “They’re a big top program and they just had a huge win over North Carolina,” Corbett said. “So this is an opportunity for us to have a really big win in the top 10 against such a great historic program and it would mean so much for us.” For the Quakers, that might be easier said than done, but Penn is certainly ready to take on the challenge. “We have to keep our composure,” Bensen said. “They have a very fast-paced defense and their strength is throwing attacks off balance and keeping them from doing what they want to do, but we’ve been prepping every day — we know what we’re going to see, so it’s just a matter of staying composed.”

area where we all know he needs to improve on and he needs to make some gains this summer in that. “Lorenzo’s a competitor, and this year he showed it.” Kent’s main mission will be to prove that he can rep e at h i s r eg u l a r se a son success in the conference and national tournaments. In terms of leadership, the Pennsylvania native seems to be on the right track already. “Casey Kent will continue to be a strong leader — he’s

kind of more a ‘leadership by example’ type kid,” Eiter said. “But I talked to him about becoming more vocal and I think he feels comfortable now moving forward.” There were many highs in the Quakers’ roller coaster ride this year. Wukie’s inspirational performance at the EIWAs and sophomore Ray Bethea’s (157) 19-9 season come to mind along with Jeff Canfora’s strong performance while going up a weightclass to 141 pounds. But there were also many low s , i nc lud i ng a 3 2 -(-1) thrashing at the hands of Iv y League archrival Cornell that needs to be quickly forgotten. For next year to be less of a rollercoaster, the Red and Blue will also need to take advantage of intense competition for starting spots in

the middle weights,and work in a solid batch of eight new recruits, who should thrive under the mentorship of Eiter’s “older crew.” “ We a re re a l ly excit ed about the kids who are going to be freshmen for us next year,” Eiter said. “And not only from just the talent portion of it, but also from the personality side of it.” Talent is never good enough on its ow n — you also need to have the right mentality. Now it’s time for these gifted Quakers to confirm that they do.

Quakers focus on taming Wildcats W. LACROSSE | Penn will reunite with alums before taking on rival Northwestern on Sunday BY HOLDEN MCGINNIS Associate Sports Editor

Michele Ozer/Sports Photo Editor

Senior midfield Tory Bensen has never beaten Northwestern during her Penn career, but that streak could come to an end on Sunday. The Quakers enter their contest with the Wildcats fresh off a win over No. 19 Georgetown.

Alumni weekend and a matchup with one of its biggest nonconference rivals is the perfect recipe to help Penn women’s lacrosse move on from some turmoil last weekend. “It’s fun to have [alumni] back and be able to talk about the glory days and also see what they’re doing today,” coach Karin Brower Corbett said. “It’s always a fun weekend.” The No. 12 Quakers (6-2) will welcome back their alumni this weekend for Saturday’s Alumni Game before taking on No.6 Northwestern in a huge rivalry game on Sunday. Despite not playing in the same conference or having any geographic significance, Penn and Northwestern (6-3) have devel-

oped a rivalry in the NCAA Tournament and maintained it through yearly regular season matchups. The Red and Blue lost to the Wildcats in three consecutive tournaments from 2007 to 2009 — twice in the Final Four and once in the championship — as the Wildcats established their place at the top of NCAA women’s lacrosse with their third, fourth and fifth consecutive titles. “I feel like it’s the Red Sox — Yankees rivalry, and we’re like the Red Sox in this one, on the short end of that,” Corbett said. “We get excited to play them; I think they get excited to play us. We’re looking forward to it.” Though the rivalry has been one-sided — Penn is 1-11 all-time against Northwestern — the Quakers see this as an opportunity to pick up a huge win against a ranked opponent after their 8-6

Noise, poise and boys will occupy Franklin Field this Saturday The No. 15 Penn men’s lacrosse team will face off against Brown on Alumni Day this Saturday in its fourth Ivy contest. But the day begins before the matchup with Brown with the annual Alumni Game in Penn Park on Adams Field at 10:30 a.m. “It’s a pretty big deal for us,” senior defense Alex Blonsky said. “A lot of the alums that have built a tradition of the program come back, and it’s nice to see some of the older guys that, when we came in as freshmen, [we] looked up to, so it’s nice to have everybody back.” And what the alumni also bring with them is some noise — a morale boost which can only help the Red and Blue (4-3, 1-2 Ivy) against Brown (6-3, 1-1). “It’s Alumni Day, so there will be a lot of people here and some noise, so I think it will be a very good test,” coach Mike Murphy said.

Having already played an inconsistent seven games this season, the Red and Blue are looking to put together a strong effort on both offense against Brown and defense in front of a sizable Alumni Day crowd. On the defensive end, they will rely heavily on senior defense Alex Blonsky. The Bears currently hold third place in the Iv y League — one spot above Penn — and come in on a three-game winning streak that includes a win over Princeton. Brown finished 8-6 last year but failed to qualify for the Ivy League Tour nament (which requires a top-four finish) after losing four conference games, including a 10-3

defeat at the hands of the Quakers. A win this year over the Bears would help Penn move up in the standings and would be critical to better its overall Ivy performance relative to last season. “They are very good offensively and have improved there from last year,” Murphy said. “I think we will have our hands full trying to

stop them, and I think it will be a lot of energy.” And while Brown has improved its defense, the Quakers are looking to get their offensive strength back. “We were playing pretty good offense for a while there,” Murphy

After a 4-0 start to the Ivy League season, Penn baseball will try to keep its momentum while going on its first Ivy road trips of the season. The cold and windy weather of the Northeast could play a factor in the weekend’s matchups as the Red and Blue take on Harvard and Dartmouth in doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. “Playing up in the cold, you can’t

Talented grapplers ready to step up as leaders for Penn wrestling

Penn wrestling. The end result was equally bittersweet, with junior Lorenzo Thomas (184 pounds) climbing within a few feet of the top thanks to a sixthplace finish at the NCA A Championships and an A ll-A mer ican nomination. Meanwhile, the Quakers’ other three NCAA qualifiers failed to win a bout in the tournament. The Red and Blue were at a clear disadvantage from the start, though, having sent a contingent of grapplers with no prior national tournament experience for the first time in more

than two decades. No matter what, coach Rob Eiter has always tried to keep his troops motivated. But look ing for ward, ever yone on the team should — and has — realized that it’s time to step up. “They’re all saying the right thing right now, they recognize the few things that went on this year that we need to correct, and the fact that they recognized it themselves and brought it up to me says a lot,” Eiter said. “Those guys, they want to win, and they’re ready to make that dedication this summer to get

back on the winning track.” Wrestling is an individual sport, but team mentality still makes a huge difference, and clearly Penn’s wrestlers suffered from a lack of senior leadership at times this year. But that should change, as key men like Thomas, sophomore 174-pounder Casey Kent and senior 165-pounder Brad Wukie — who has another year of eligibility — look forward to guiding the Quakers to victory. “That’s what I’m excited about,” Eiter said. “We have the older crew a little bit, and I think they are ready

and willing to, all of them, lead in their own special way.” Thomas, a more reserved person by nature, will have to translate his increased maturity into a leadership role — all of that while gunning for a NCAA title that he proved is within reach. “Whether he likes it or not, he’s in that role now, and I think he’s ready to embrace that role. He realizes it, and he’s excited to have a little bit more responsibility on him,” Eiter said. “The strength — that’s one
