College graduation speaker had an ‘anti-plan’ for success

Laura Alber is now William-Sonoma President and CEO BY LAURA ANTHONY Deputy News Editor College graduate Laura Alber finished Penn in 1990 with an “anti-plan.” She’s now the president and chief executive officer of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. Alber, the president of Williams-Sonoma, and College senior Dau Jok will be speaking at this year’s graduation ceremony for the College of Arts and Sciences. Alber has been president of the large home furnishing retailer since 2006 and CEO since 2010, making her the head of the

22nd largest internet retailer in America. Despite her success, Alber’s post-Penn plan started off small. “I got in my car, and I drove with my friends to California with no job and no idea what was going to happen,” she remembered. After taking a series of odd jobs, she started looking for more stability, so she applied to an entry-level position at the Gap. She later took a job at Pottery Barn as a senior buyer for their catalog, one of the many brands under Williams-Sonoma, which also includes Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn brands, Mark and Graham, West Elm and Rejuvenation. She was drawn to the tangible but still creative nature of

the job, and she loved understanding the changing trends and global influences on the home. “From an intellectual curiosity perspective, it’s a very rich career,” she said. Alber had an interest in fashion and retail that she started feeding as an undergraduate. After studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh, she returned to Penn with the idea to start making and selling the floppy, velvet hats that were so popular in the United Kingdom. She even got a few local boutiques to carry her product. Alber was a psychology major at Penn and took a wide range of classes that aligned with her interests rather than an overarching life plan. And since most high-level business

PRAYING FOR LOST SEWOL PASSENGERS

Two months after the University administration convened a mental health task force in response to a string of student suicides, the task force is still in its organizational phase. The task force, which is co-chaired by Director of Education for the Department of Psychiatry Anthony Rostain and former School of Arts and Sciences Dean Re-

becca Bushnell, plans to announce two working groups within a week. One working group will focus on intervention and treatment — looking at potential problems with Counseling and Psychological Services, among other concerns — and the other working group will be oriented toward educaSEE TASK FORCE PAGE 3

Volunteers fight for elementary school libraries Budget cuts shuttered many school libraries, which volunteers say are vital to student success BY LAUREN FEINER Staff Writer

Nathaniel Chan/Associate Photo Editor

On the fifth day since the South Korean ferry Sewol tragically capsized, a group of students gathered at the LOVE statue on campus and prayed for the survival of the missing passengers at a candelight vigil organized by.Wharton junior James An. There are currently over 200 passengers missing, many of them high school students.

While Penn students might dread their weekend visits to Van Pelt Library, it is clear from the crowded cubicles and GSRs that the University would lose a valuable resource if its doors were closed. This is exactly the situation in which Philadelphia elementary school students find themselves. Because of extensive budget cuts, students are locked out of their school libraries without access to books or trained librarians. The School Reform Com-

mission passed a “Doomsday Budget” in late May last year, in which $304 million was cut from Philadelphia schools for the 2013-14 fiscal year. As a result, about 3,800 school employees were laid off, 24 schools were closed and money to extracurricular programs was eliminated. Libraries, however, have been seeing cuts for over a generation, WePAC Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator Morgan Rogers Burns said. SEE LIBRARIES PAGE 7

After more than a year, plans for empty Skulls house unclear Phi Kappa Sigma leadership say Skulls plans to return to Penn BY MELISSA LAWFORD Staff Writer Over a year af ter Phi K appa Sig ma, more commonly known as Skulls, was kicked off campus, discussions are slowly beginning about future plans for Skull’s chapter house at 3539 Locust Walk. Skulls is planning to come back to campus, Executive Director of PKS International Fraternity Doug Maden said, but conversations with the University will not take place until fall 2015. Skulls’ “long-term plan” is to move back into the chapter house, Maden added, but the specific time when the fraternity would move back in after colonization will be “up for discussion.” The Skulls house, which is owned by a corporation of PKS alumni, has been empty since the Skulls moved out in late November 2012. Decisions are still not being made to use the vacant prime real estate 16 months later. Skulls was forced to leave

campus in September 2012, after John Carroll University student Matthew Crozier fell to his death at an u n reg istered New Yea r ’s Eve party at the house in December 2010. T her e is cu r r ent ly “no firm agreement” about plans for the property, said Penn’s Facilities and Real Estate Services Executive Director of Real Estate Ed Datz in an emailed statement, but F R ES has “discussed po tential interest” in relation to leasing or developing the property. Datz declined to further outline these discussions as “it is premature to discuss plans without a firm agreement.” FRES also “cannot commit to a timing of the agreement,” Datz added. If Sk ulls recolonizes, it would not move back into the house immediately, as the national organization does not “want to burden a new colony with managing a house,” Maden said. There is no normal time period for when a fraternity is deemed ready to take on this “additional burden,” he added, but he would expect the fraternity to move back into its chapter house between one and five years after recolo-

nization. T he t i m e o f t he m o v e would also depend on factors such as whether or not the house was being leased out at the time of recolonization, Maden said. Scott Reikofski, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, estimated the average time period before a fraternity moves back to campus as four to six years. Time is sometimes needed for bad reputations to dissipate and old brothers to graduate, he added, not talking about Skulls specifically. A s Sk u l ls was fou nded here, “there’s always going to be a draw to retur n to Penn,” Maden said, but at this point “initial discussions have not begun.” D e v e l o p m e nt s r e g a r d ing the house in the space of time before a fraternity is brought back to campus would most likely be “ultimately temporary,” Reikofski said in an interview in February. Decisions are “really up to the owners of the property,” Reikofski added. John Wobensmith, a 1960 College graduate and representative from the alumni corporation that owns the

property, said in an emailed statement, “We have been doing some renovations and those continue.” He declined to give more details about what these renovations are. B o t h Wo b e n s m it h a n d 1959 Wharton graduate Bart Barre, a spokesperson for the PKS corporation which o w n s t he f o r m e r S k u l l s c h apt e r hou s e , d e c l i ne d to comment about current plans surrounding the property. Many Penn buildings are for mer f rater n it y houses which were converted after fraternities left campus. Often when fraternities leave campus, the University finds “alternative use[s]” for the chapter houses, and they are sometimes even “completely repurposed,” Reikofski said. T he G r adu at e S t ud e nt Center at 3615 Locust Walk, for example, used to be the chapter house of Phi Sigma Kappa, which left campus in the 2006-07 academic year. The fraternity re-colonized this year but did not return to its original chapter house. The Penn Women’s Center at 3643 Locust Walk was also the former chapter house of Theta Xi.

GAPSA chair talks future plans

Q&A | Justine Sefcik will continue programs, like PennSHAPE

to just jump into new initiatives if they’re not needed. I think we really need to survey all the graduate students and see what their needs and concerns are.

BY MAYA RAWAL Staff Writer

DP: In terms of the summer, will everyone still continue to meet and work on things? JS: We’ll be in touch and talking. Plans are already underway for the September GradFest. And that’s what the vice chair works on. So a lot of things have to get up and going during the summer, so that there’s a nice smooth transition in the fall when the students return.

Justine Sefcik, a fourthyear doctoral student in the School of Nursing, was elected chair of the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly on Wednesday. Sefcik will serve alongside 11 other officers on the executive board of GAPSA, the official student government body for Penn’s 12 graduate schools. Sefcik, who has worked as a nurse for 17 years and ser ved as vice chair for research students this year, is pursuing a Ph.D. so she can focus more on research. The Daily Pennsylvanian sat down with Sefcik to discuss GAPSA’s plans for next year. Da i ly Pen ns ylv a n ia n: What do you see as the main responsibilities of the GAPSA chair? Justine Sefcik: I think first off ... that primarily I’ll be helping the new board members get acquainted to their positions and up and running and transitioning well. Also, main responsibilities would include being an advocate for all graduate students — both professional and graduate Ph.D. students — and working with the university administration to let them know what our concerns are as students but as well as letting them know what we’re really happy with. So I think it’s important to discuss both with them. DP: Looking forward, after the transition, what are some of the things you plan to try to do next year? JS: I’d like to first work with all the board members and see what their strategic

Justine Sefcik, a fourth-year doctoral student in the School of Nursing, will serve as the next chair of the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly. commission is for the year to make sure that everyone’s goals are aligned and that we all are aware of what everybody’s doing, what they’re working on and to help different chairs collaborate, as well ... And then I’ll take a step back and see what else really needs to be done from my perspective. So I think it’s a little early to give a real broad statement for the entire year. DP: Given that you worked so closely with the chair and the other board members this year, is there anything that you plan to continue that was started this year, or anything you plan to change for next year? JS: If you haven’t heard of PennSHAPE, it’s definitely a program to look into a bit more. Charlotte Rose, who’s the current chair for student

life, has been working on that project and has really taken it to the next level. So I’d like to work with the new chair [for student life] and make sure that that continues at the same rate that it’s been going and seeing what else we can do. She’s really worked on expanding it — it’s not just a physical challenge where people work to lose weight and eat healthy but she extended it so that it includes mental health programs as well for students. DP: Are there any new initiatives that you would be interested in starting? JS: Again, I think it’s a little early to get into that because I think it’s going to take the summer to complete the transition and to make a good assessment of what is needed. Because I don’t want

DP: Looking back on this year, what were some of the main things that either you personally or the board did that were some of your biggest accomplishments? JS: I think that as a board as a whole, we’ve been very productive. One of the new initiatives that was started primarily by the current vice chair ... and this is something I helped him work on — [was the creation of] the GAPSA advisor y ser vices, where, when we’re g iv i ng la rge amounts of money to student groups to do their events, we’re offering services where we can guide them ... Also the Select Committee for Pluralism and International Affairs is something that was up and running this year, which was a new initiative. DP: Do you have anything else you just want to say about the new board or about looking forward to next year? JS: In general, I really enjoyed working with the board that is transitioning out, and I’m really looking forward to working with this incoming board as well. It’s been a great experience working for GAPSA and serving all students, so I’m really excited about this year.

Alber has risen quickly in industry GRADUATION from page 1 live, why do people buy. “When I look back on my education, I can’t think of a better way to prepare myself for a career in retail,” she added. She’s also been inspired by her own life and experiences. When she became pregnant with her first daughter, she saw a gap in the company that she knew she could fill. “I saw no well-designed home furnishings for children’s spaces in the home,” she said. So she worked with her colleagues to develop a business plan for what is now Pottery Barn Kids. From there she also worked on Pottery Barn Teen, helping extend the brand even further. Dean of the College Dennis DeTurck says the College typically looks for a speaker who is a Penn alumnus who has made a noteworthy contribution to their field, often someone who is celebrating a significant reunion year. DeTurck said that for Alber to have risen so quickly “to the top of her industry, in what is generally a maledominated industry, I think is really an achievement.”

“I think she has something strong to say to all of our graduates, particularly the women,” he added. “P resent-mindedness” will be a key concept in Alber’s words of wisdom to the Class of 2014, encouraging them to focus on actually doing what they love, not just planning for it. “The thing you’re going to be the best at is right in front of you,” Alber said. She plans to balance that message with advice on “what those key attributes and character traits are that I think will allow you to do well no matter what the plan becomes.” Alber maintains a strong connection with Penn. She has spoken at various events on campus, hosted events for alumni and current students and does alumni interviewing for prospective students. She serves on the advisory board of the Jay H. Baker Retailing Center, a Wharton research center, and a few years ago, she and her husband established The Alber-Klingelhofer Endowed Scholarship. She said that though she had always given back to Penn, the scholarship was her way of doing even more for the University. “I have a lot of gratitude [for] Penn and want to make sure that people can have the ability to go to Penn even if they can’t afford it because it can change lives,” she said. “I know it changed mine.”

Task force cannot set policy TASK FORCE from page 1 tion and outreach. The working groups, unlike the core task force itself, will include students along with faculty and staff. Rostain declined to name the members until the official announcement. After two initial meetings, the task group has met every week since the end of March and has been working to understand the state of mental health on campus, Rostain said. The task force has met with staff and administrators from CAPS, Student Intervention Services and Student Health Service, as well as with student groups, and has more meetings lined up. The task force and working groups intend to meet throughout the

summer. The task group is an internal review board without the direct ability to make policy — a shortcoming made clear when looking back at the 2002 Mental Health and Outreach Task Force, which Rostain also chaired. The administration successfully implemented four of the 2002 task force’s six main recommendations. A secondary suggestion for health graduate assistants in each of the college houses also fell through. “Any student groups with issues should be directing questions and concerns to operations people,” Rostain said. “Our group isn’t really functioning as an operations group. We’re staying on the level of internally looking at things — gathering data, making guidelines and suggestions.” That distinction caused some friction at a meeting about two weeks ago between the task force and the Green Ribbon Movement, a studentled mental health advocacy

group. The task force invited the Green Ribbon Movement to meet after receiving a copy of the group’s platform, College sophomore and Green Ribbon Movement member Derek Sexton said. While Bushnell, Rostain and Vice President for Institutional Affairs Joann Mitchell, the task force vice chair, seemed interested in what the Green Ribbon Movement had to say, Sexton said, he was frustrated by the lack of concrete answers they gave. “They couldn’t really give us an answer about certain funding issues because — in their own words — they’re only an advisory board to the provost and the president,” Sexton said. “We didn’t get any concrete proposals or any dates about when certain things can be implemented.” “It was heated at times,” Rostain said. “But students should be active.” The task group is expected to release its recommendations in early 2015.

Ivy Plus Leadership Mission to Israel and the Palestinian territories

I

GUEST COLUMN BY NOAH FEIT AND URIEL EPSHTEIN

f you’ve ever stood for a cause, you understand the importance of messaging. We, as Penn students, are still coming into our own as future leaders, and it is during these few and formative years that we decide exactly what it is that we believe. In my case, the transition has been staggering. Since arriving on campus, I have morphed from a conservative activist into a moderate liberal. Having studied abroad, participated in several political causes and shared a campus with people of fundamentally different backgrounds and viewpoints, my perspective has undoubtedly changed. The most valuable lesson I have learned is that no matter

what we believe, it is crucial that we strive for objectivity and do our best to keep our beliefs in line with the evidence available. To that end, I began working with a senior at Yale, a sophomore at Georgetown and two professors at West Point, one of them a lieutenant colonel, in order to found t he Iv y Plus L e ader sh ip Mission. This initiative will ser ve as a pluralistic program aimed at introducing non-Jewish student leaders to the realities on the ground in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Twenty student leaders, including four from Penn, will have the chance to meet with top political, military, academic and business leaders as well as our peers in both Israel and the West

Bank. We will challenge our preconceptions by taking part in conversations on the most sensitive issues with people from a variety of political persuasions, including those who are highly critical of Israeli policy.

‘‘

[We] believe that this trip will serve to temper the polarized dialogue that currently characterizes the conversation about Israel-Palestinian issues at Penn.”

The Ivy Plus Leadership Mission has four principal objectives: 1. To convey a nuanced understanding of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict and the region as a whole by connecting high-level strategic dialogue with an exploration of the realities on the ground 2. To provide students with the tools necessary to formulate a coherent strategy for the United States’ role in the Israeli-Palestinian relationship and in the Middle East more broadly 3. To provide an incisive look into Israeli society, culture and politics, while simultaneously grappling with the unique security challenges facing both the United States and its allies in the region 4. To facilitate civil-military discussion and engagement Several days ago, Penn for

Palestine published a guest column publicly criticizing this mission. Unfortunately, the column did not hold itself to a high standard of objectivity and read more like an ideological attack than an informed critique. In fact, the column was based entirely on speculation, even going so far as to fabricate the actual itinerary of the tour (which we are still in the process of formulating). Platitudes, however, are never a proper substitute for facts, and if the leaders of PFP truly feel worried about the content of our mission and wish to engage in actual dialogue rather than conjecture, I encourage them to reach out to me. My partners and I believe that this trip will serve to temper the polarized dialogue that currently characterizes the conversation

about Israeli-Palestinian issues at Penn. Through the mission, we hope to create a space for nuanced discussion on the United States’ role in the Middle East. At its most ambitious level, this initiative is intended to act as a form of track two diplomacy, offering new perspectives not only to the participants, but also to the many government officials, military officers and business leaders who agree to meet with us. Most importantly, I hope that each and every one of you is able to participate in the conversation that this initiative is intended to spark. NOAH FEIT AND URIEL EPSHTEIN are a College senior and a senior at Yale University, respectively. They can be reached at noahfeit@gmail.com and uepshtein@gmail.com.

In defense of the friend break-up SARA, STRUGGLING | Why are we so afraid to treat friendships like relationships?

T

here’s something they don’t tell you in kindergarten: You aren’t going to get along with

everyone. I used to think that everyone was nice and that if I was nice back, we would be friends. By this logic, I should have a million friends. I could also be biffles with people like Putin and Casey Anthony. So I’m here to say what your kindergarten teachers were too nice to say: Some people are toxic. Maybe not in general. Maybe not to everyone. But maybe just to you, this person is unhealthy, and being around them makes you the worst version of yourself — makes you so seriously unhappy that you consider becoming a hermit just to avoid even the most basic social interaction with them. They may not start like this. You may meet someone

your freshman year, a genial boy from down the hall in the Quad, and he may seem like the sweetest person ever. You could meet a girl in your writing seminar that shares all your passions for grapefr uit smoothies and “The Magic School Bus” (the early seasons before it got bad). But sometimes, not all friendships are healthy relationships. For some reason, it’s perfectly acceptable to break up with a significant other. No one looks at you funny when you say, “Well, I really need to end things with him. He’s being really clingy.” But it’s frowned upon to friend-breakup with people. I mean, we don’t even have a functioning word for it. I’m here to be a realist: There’s nothing wrong with self-preservation. If you are in a friendship that is going sour, think about

it like dating. You wouldn’t go on a second date with someone that makes you crazy — why spend your Friday night getting drinks with a “friend” who is toxic?

‘‘

You wouldn’t go on a second date with someone that makes you crazy — why spend your Friday night getting drinks with a ‘friend’ who is toxic?” I can look back on all my romantic relationships and remember that one moment that I realized something had gone wrong. The relationship had been poisoned. Something changed. I think the same is

true of friendships. Friend-breaking-up is not only necessary for survival — I even recommend it. We put such stock in social contracts that there’s a huge stigma attached to people who friend-break-up. But when it’s necessary, it’s necessary. Sometimes you fall out of friendships like you fall out of love. But sometimes you have to cut off a toxic friend. Remove that person from your life. I’m not going to lie, this does make for awkward encounters. I sometimes see ex-friends around campus, and we ignore each other. We divert our eyes. I pretend to text; they pretend to spot other friends on the horizon. It’s like running into a hookup the morning after, or an Eskimo sister during the walk of shame.

There other side effects to my definition of friendship, the most obvious being that my batting average isn’t the highest. I don’t have that many friends. In fact, I have more pictures of myself on Facebook than I do Facebook friends. And when I look back on my college years, I’m not going to think of my flocks of friends because, to be honest, I don’t have a gaggle or a posse. Maybe I have a boy band. An elite coterie. The friendships I do have are with people I love — the people I want to hang out with all the time, the best friends I have ever made. Trying to maintain a series of unhappy friendships made me crazy. I’ve had to break up with boyfriends; I’ve had to break up with friends. So I suggest this: We have to remember that friend-

A s t he Sk u l ls house is owned by an alumni corporation, the process through which a house can be potentially re-purposed would be more complicated, Reikofski said. Perhaps the most comparable case study is the chapter house of Psi Upsilon, better known as Castle. While the house is owned by the University, Penn was contractually obliged to let the fraternity live there after the fraternity returned to campus following its being k icked of f campus in 1990. When Castle’s charter was revoked, the fraternity’s chapter house went to Penn’s Community Service Living-Learning Program in 1991. After Castle recolonized in 1995, though, the house was reclaimed by the fraternity in 1998.

FOMO: There’s an app for that

Wharton senior’s app lets users make last-minute plans with friends BY JENN WRIGHT Contributing Writer At the last minute your schedule opens up, but now you have to figure out what your friends are up to. “Don’t get left out,” is the tagline for new iPhone and Android application created by Wharton senior Alex Levin. Targeting students and

young adults, Happ is designed to be the answer to last minute plan-making and awkward invitations to meet up with friends. The app allows you to see in real-time which of your friends is available to hang out or are already doing so. Levin said the app is about “bringing people back together by getting people off their computers.” Users can create posts on the app’s interface about their plans in one of five categories: Chill, Food, Party, Movie

ToBox Men’s Footwear

or Activity, including a short blurb with the post. While all your contacts are initially added to the list of people that can see your Happ posts, a recent enhancement based on user feedback now allows for certain numbers to be ‘unchecked’ from the friends list for more privacy. Levin partnered with College junior Brandon Krieger and began developing the app as a part of PennApps in the fall of 2013 in collaboration with Engineering seniors Alex Yau, Caroline Ho and Joe Schaffer. Currently, Krieger and the team are working on adding the new Study category to accommodate the needs of college students. Levin and K rieger said the app has received positive feedback from friends who have used it so far. Happ went live for the iPhone and Android back in December, but the team has only begun promoting it online in the last

three weeks. Numbers for the app’s total downloads so far are not available. New apps sometimes face difficulty getting exposure because of the sheer number of them on the market today. Levin recognizes that it is very easy to accomplish this same thing Happ does by just posting on Facebook, but he says the difference is that Happ makes it more socially acceptable. “Everyone is so self-conscious about what their status is,” Levin said, but Happ is able to bring the interaction “straight back to the causal, ‘Let’s hang out, I’m free, you’re free.’” Levin is realistic about his expectations for Happ’s future, saying he is working on it more for the fun of a cool project, rather than expecting it to be the next Snapchat. “There’s definitely room for apps in this space, and there’s nothing else that does what it does,” Krieger added.

The program teaches the Holocaust from Polish, Jewish viewpoints BY JESSICA WASHINGTON Contributing Writer The ethical blunders of the past are teaching the ethical leaders of the future. Kaytlin Roholt, a student at both the Law School and Perelman School of Medicine, was chosen last week for the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics program. The Auschwitz fellowship is designed to provide an opportunity for graduate students to learn about the Holocaust in the context of Poland’s history and Jewish heritage. The students will begin their trip in New York, then journey to Poland and Germany. The majority of the trip will be spent in Poland studying the legacy of the Holocaust there. Roholt grew up roughly two hours north of Philadelphia in Tafton, Pa. She received her undergraduate degree in theology from the University of Scranton. Roholt’s experience while studying the Holocaust as an undergraduate originally prompted her to apply for the Auschwitz fellowship. “It struck me how much legal presence there was involved in the Holocaust — I wanted to further study the ethics of law,” Roholt said. The program is highly selective and chose only 48 applicants out of a pool of 900 worldwide to participate in its four programs in law, journalism, medicine and religion. Despite being picked for such a highly se-

When I got it I was shocked,” Roholt said. She cannot wait to begin her studies. “I was so excited when I found out ... I can’t wait to meet likeminded students and professor s to d iscover a nd discuss new ways to apply ethics to law,” Roholt said. When asked what she was going to do with her experience in the program, Roholt had a lot to say. “I am deeply interested in exploring the ethical frameworks to [learn] how we develop laws and applying this to modern legal and medical issues such as abortion and human rights,” she said. Roholt plans to use her experience as a reminder of the importance of looking at legal issues through an ethical framework. “It is important to actively maintain legal ethics,” she said.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Students enjoyed food, festivities and fun in the Night Market event organized by Penn Taiwanese Society in the Rodin Rooftop Lounge on Saturday, which included free food and performances.

Lea’s library may be open more often LIBRARIES from page 1 Under an increasingly tight budget, chances of regeneration seem slim. “When it comes to cutting line items for a budget, there are ways to rationalize away a librarian,” Rogers Burns said. She stressed this was her own opinion, not the stance of her organization. A new Penn Libraries initiative is looking to expand students’ access to school libraries. Ancil George, recently named the Community Outreach Librarian at Van Pelt, is organizing efforts to get Penn students involved in expanding operations at the library of the Lea School on the 4700 block of Locust Street. Currently, with the help of a volunteer-based nonprofit called West Philadelphia Alliance for Children, the library is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays to students in kindergarten through second grade. George hopes to open the library for more days a week and to more grades, since the school serves children through eighth grade. Rogers Burns and other advocates for school libraries argue that there are many things that a school library provides that can’t be substituted. “The main thing that a library allows students to do is self-direct their own learning,” she said. She pointed out that although this might be possible in a public library, young students rely on adults to take them to these facilities, and classroom libraries simply don’t have as wide of a selection of books as large school libraries do. “If it’s not happening at the school, there’s

no promise or guarantee that it’s going to happen outside of school,” she added. Studies also show that students who don’t have this access to books and reading education are less likely to graduate high school. A 2011 study by Donald Hernandez found that, of 4,000 students tested, 23 percent of third-grade students below National Assessment of Educational Progress reading standards later dropped out of high school. Only nine percent of third-grade students who had basic skills in reading, and only four percent of third-grade students with skills rated “proficient” dropped out of high school. A 2013 research update published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a private philanthropic organization which advocates for disadvantaged children, concluded that studies continue to support the hypothesis that third-grade reading proficiency may predict graduation rates. As a result, WePAC and Penn Libraries is currently focusing on granting lower elementary school grades access to the library at Lea, although they hope to expand access to older students if given the proper resources. WePAC and other community groups involved in school libraries and reading programs are also working to get students enthusiastic about reading. “In elementary school we would go to the library, and it was this great exciting thing ... it was the highlight of our week,” College junior Katelyn Behrman, a codirector of the Penn Reading Initiative, remembered. She has noticed throughout her involvement with PRI, in which members tutor elementary school children once a week, that without the drive for reading that a library can encourage in students, they sometimes treat the subject like geometry, thinking, “‘When am I ever go-

ing to use reading?’” she said. “If a kid is struggling with reading in first grade, in four to five years, that gets to be a kid who thinks that school is not for him because it’s too hard,” Kate Mills said. Mills organizes the Book Choosing program at Lea coordinated by Garden Court Community Association, during which each April, students get to pick out their own books to keep, and start or add to their own home libraries. Dylan Vizzachero, a College senior who volunteers at the Lea library once a week through WePAC, recalled the connection he felt with a student at Lea when the student confided in him that neither of his parents could read. Vizzachero assured him, “Now you’re here ... maybe one day you can read to your parents.” “Until the school district comes and takes this off our hands, we’ll just keep opening libraries,” Rogers Burns said. So far, her organization has reopened 12 school libraries for one to two days a week. If the Lea library opens for more than two days a week with the help of Penn volunteers, it could become a model for the rest of the schools that WePAC works in, Rogers Burns said. “All we can do as an institution is provide Band-Aids,” said College senior Kate Herzlin, the outreach coordinator at the Kelly Writers House. “But we can’t stop the bleeding. We can only cover it up.”

Penn has five games left vs. Ivy League SOFTBALL from page 10 mound once again and, in typical fashion, mowed down the competition. On her arm, Penn took the contest, 6-2. While not at her best, Borden still controlled the game, giving up seven hits in as many innings pitched and allowing just

two runs to score on the day. In the first game, junior Sydney Turchin led the way, driving in two teammates with two hits. Third baseman Sydney Kranzmann knocked three hits on the afternoon as well, scoring two runs. The tail end of the double header did not go as smoothly for Penn. Giving up 11 hits to Princeton, the Quakers fell, 9-6. But despite the loss, the Quakers still head into their final Ivy weekend with a 2.5game lead over Columbia, who they will face next weekend.

After spending its conference season dwelling at the bottom of Ivy League standings, Penn women’s tennis concluded its disappointing year on a positive note this weekend. On Friday, the Quakers (8-10, 1-6 Ivy) headed to the Empire State to face No. 37 Columbia before returning home on Sunday to host Cornell for a Senior Day match-up at the Hamlin Tennis Center. Though they suffered an embarrassing defeat — by a 6-1 margin — to the Lions, the Red and Blue avoided the shame of a winless conference season, routing the Big Red, 5-2. Columbia (16-4, 5-2), the defending Ancient Eight champs and the early favorite for this year’s title, came out with a fighting spirit and left Penn in the dust early on. Hammering down on what has been Penn’s brightest spot all season, its doubles play, the Lions held the Quakers’ top pair, junior Sol Eskenazi and freshman Kana Daniel, scoreless and bested sophomore Sonya Latycheva and senior Jaime Yapp-Shing, 8-6, to secure the doubles point. It was a sign of things to come. They would win five sin-

Four games vs. Columbia will decide division BASEBALL from page 10 sophomore Matt Greskof f scored on an error. Penn’s offensive struggles against Princeton freshman pitcher Chad Powers continued until the top of the sixth, when Austin Bossart, already

with two singles, went deep to give the Quakers a 2-0 lead that would hold as the final score. Game two featured a freshman pitching battle between Pen n’s Ja ke Cousi ns a nd Princeton’s Keelan Smithers. Bossar t picked up r ight where he left off, doubling in senior Brandon Engelhardt in the first inning for the contest’s first run. Five batters later, a Mike Vilardo single coupled with a Princeton (1222, 7-9) throwing error was enough to score Bossart and senior Rick Brebner, making

the Penn lead 3-0 by the end of the first inning. The early outburst would not carry on, however, as the Red and Blue bats wouldn’t score again until it was too late. On the other end, the Tigers were held quiet by Cousins early on, managing just one run on two hits though the first five frames. The sixth inning was another story, however, as Princeton strung together three hits, including an RBI triple by senior Alec Keller, which tied the contest at three and forced Cousins off the mound.

gles matches — four in straight sets — to steamroll over Penn for the win. The only point for the Red and Blue came by default when Columbia senior Ioana Alecsiu retired the No. 5 point, after edging Yapp-Shing, 7-5, in the first set, to finish the match early. “It wasn’t easy,� coach Sanela Kunovac said. “[It] was the toughest defeat we had in the Ivies the whole year. We’ve been close in all the matches, in a winnable position in every match, up until Columbia. Columbia was really a big gap.� Penn came back strong in its Sunday matinee, determined to take advantage of an underwhelming Cornell squad (7-10, 0-7) to ride out the end of its year and send off its seniors, Yapp-Shing and Stephanie Do, in a more savory way. More characteristic of their season’s earlier successes, the Quakers dispatched the Big Red in doubles play and notched an early singles win behind Eskenazi, 7-5, 6-2. A f ter they dropped two points, the match, knot at 2-2, could have gone either way. But, in classic storybook form, heroic plays by the departing seniors saved the day for Penn. With a win behind Do at the sixth position, 7-5, 6-3, to shift the match in Penn’s favor, 3-2, Yapp-Shing sealed the deal at the No. 4 spot, 7-5, 7-5. “Do is playing the best tennis that she’s played in her college career. She’s really hitting the stride in all the balls she’s hitting and today was no exception, bringing the win. And Jaime really fought today,� Kunovac said. “She didn’t have her complete game and, in general, she’s been fighting injuries, but she made the best with what she had and clinched the win. “That’s what we want.

Reliever Stephen Silvestri got out of the sixth and shut down the Tigers in the seventh, but surrendered the lead in the eighth after he gave up a one-run RBI double. Submariner Pat Bet was then called upon, but immediately gave up a two-run double that made the Princeton lead 6-3 with one inning remaining. I n t he n i nt h, a t wo - out Bossart single brought the Quakers within a pair, but they would not get any closer.

Not just when the ideal conditions are there, but when things are tough.� Latycheva also pitched in a three-set win to put an exclamation point on the match. With the squad getting the bittersweet win and sending off its seniors, emotions were running high. Tears of happiness were shed and hugs of congratulations and celebration were exchanged. “I shook my opponent’s hand, and then I saw Steph [Do] and that changed ever ything,� Yapp-Shing said. “Everything hit me. I was just happy. The only word that really comes to mind is just happiness. Happy for her, happy for the team — we won our last match.� “I’ve been looking forward

to this day for a long time,� Do added. “I feel so lucky to be able to compete, to play for all four years. I’m happy we won, and our team got it together. I might be a little sad, but the happiness is suppressing that.� With Princeton clinching the Ancient Eight title on Sunday, what’s next for the Penn women’s tennis program after this season is unknown, but its consistently strong doubles play and its singles lineup will certainly face a major overhaul with Yapp-Shing and Do leaving. But, more immediately, celebrations are in order. “We’ll most likely get dinner tonight. Something really delicious and dessert at the end of that,� Yapp-Shing said with a smile.

the losing end of a low-scoring affair decided by two runs. The 4-2 defeat, in which Penn’s Dan Gautieri fell to 2-5, marked the first back-toback loss for the club in over a month. In the series’ final game, the Quakers put on a performance more typical for them, and handed the Tigers a 6-1 loss to split the series. The Penn bats — namely sluggers Brebner and Jeff McGa r r y — woke up a nd pieced together 10 hits behind a strong, 10 -strikeout performance from lefty Ronnie

Glenn. But the action didn’t begin until the game was more than halfway over. After five scoreless innings from both sides, Penn’s offense finally broke through in the sixth when sophomore Vilardo cleared the loaded bases with a double to left-center to give the Red and Blue a 3-0 lead. Princeton would counter with a run in the seventh, but Brebner returned to his yardwork grind with a two-run shot in the eighth to give the Quakers a five-run cushion that would hold.

Mixed results end Quakers’ year

M. TENNIS | Penn finished 2014 by beating Binghamton and losing to Big Red and the Lions

Penn career and Bock put in his 14th of the season. “It is kind of the way we are set up,” Murphy said. “We play a lot of people, which helps us play at a high pace, which has come in handy in a couple of games that we’ve won so it’s not surprising. In some ways it’s reassuring, although there are some consistent leaders like Zach Losco and Nick Doktor.” Losco, Hupfeldt and Doktor each put in two goals in Hanover. “Part of it is kind of random,” Murphy said. “Certain guys are just in certain positions at certain times and given the chance to score ... there were other guys that had good looks to the cage, too.” With the victory, the Red and Blue finish their Ivy season on

They had more fight than us.” The game quickly turned in the Red and Blue’s favor, as the reigning Ivy League champions unlocked the scoreboard with three quick scores before Brown (9-5, 2-4 Ivy) could even come up with an answer. After the Bears cut their deficit to 3-1, the Quakers (84, 4-1) definitively took control of the game and added three more scores before halftime,

It wasn’t the end the Quakers were looking for. Over the weekend, Penn men’s tennis closed out its season with three matches over three days, losing to Columbia at home, and then beating Binghamton and losing to Cornell on the road. While their 2-5 league record marks a one-game improvement from last season, it’s not what the Red and Blue had expected, nor what they had hoped for after starting off 2-0, a start which included a win over Princeton. “I didn’t think we played worse as the year went on, in fact in some ways I thought we played a little bit better toward the end,” coach David Geatz said. “The competition was a little better at the end. We played the two best teams in the Ivy League [Columbia and Harvard] at the end of the year,” he added. On Friday, Penn ran into one of those teams: No. 19 Columbia, a behemoth which was on a 16-match win streak and which had dropped just one point in league play going into the match. The Lions routed the Red and Blue, 4-0, yielding only one set in total — to freshman Matt Nardella. Columbia went on to win its 11th Ivy League title — and its first since 2010 — over the weekend, as it finished undefeated in league play. After taking on their New York rivals, the Red and Blue

MONDAY, APRIL 21, 2014 PAGE 9 a four-game winning streak. After its initial two Ivy losses to Princeton and Cornell, the Quakers have beat out every opponent in their path for an Ivy record with one more win than last season. “[It’s] truly what we hoped and certainly is significant for us,” Murphy said. “One game doesn’t sound like a lot, but there is a pretty big difference between 50 percent and 60 to 70 percent in terms of winning percentage in the league. We only play six Ivy League games and play each team only once so every one matters, and all of the Ivy League games are pretty significant.” While the contests against the Ancient Eight are over, the Quakers have two more games this week before they finish their regular season starting with Towson this Tuesday. “It feels good and like we are making some progress here programmatically,” Murphy said. “But at this point, all we are really trying to do is continue to improve and tomorrow try to prepare for Towson on Tuesday.”

Senior Zach Katz finished out his Penn career along with the rest of the senior class this weekend, picking up a victory against Binghamton while falling in two Ivy matchups. Katz picked up wins in both doubles and singles in the win over Binghamton. headed up to the Empire State itself for their final matches of the year. Saturday was a more successful day for the Quakers, as they dropped Binghamton for the second straight year, taking the two through fivespot singles matches to win, 5-2. Penn finished 5-9 in nonconference play. No. 52 Cornell represented Penn’s final chance to finish with its best Ivy League record since the 2007-08 season, a feat it missed narrowly, losing 4-3. Penn took three singles matches on the backs of senior Zach Katz, sophomore Vim de Alwis and Nardella, the last of whom picked up his 13th win of the year. But the Quakers couldn’t earn that necessary fourth victory, something Katz and Geatz

chalked up to the doubles point. For the three seniors on the team — Katz, Nikola Kocovic and Andrew Berman — Sunday marked their last day of Ivy League tennis. “[It’s] bittersweet,” Katz said. “I’m definitely going to miss it. It’s not the way you ever want to stop playing the sport you’ve been playing since you were four years old, but I’m happy to turn a new chapter.” Geatz praised the outgoing seniors, stopping especially to single out one of his co-captains, Katz. “Zach Katz is the best player in the Ivy League,” he said, noting that Katz didn’t drop a match in conference play. “There’s a lot more pressure, a lot more intensity, every match

is so close and I think having played for four years, you just get a lot more comfortable, and then the confidence that comes with that [helps],” Katz said of his performance in conference matches. While the five-game skid to end Ivy play left Penn with a bitter taste, with just three outgoing players, a strong incoming recruiting class and some players returning from injuries next year — including Ismael Lahlou, who filled the No. 3 singles spot last year — the Red and Blue have something to look forward to. “With good recruiting classes, coach Geatz and coach [Ty] Schaub will definitely have a nationally ranked program soon,” Katz said.

including senior midfield Tory Bensen’s 20th goal of the season. Bensen led the team with four goals on the day, and is Penn’s top scorer this year with 22 tallies. “I was very happy with my play, but more than anything it was a full-field effort,” Bensen said. “The defense was playing out of their minds, Lucy had some great saves and the attack was working really well.” The Red and Blue’s defense continued stif ling Brow n’s attack, with junior defenders Meg Mark ham and Taylor Foussadier dominating their individual matchups against attacks Danielle Maestro and Bre Hudgins . Maestro entered the game leading the Ancient Eight in points with 54, while Hudgins was sixth with 42. “Meg and Taylor played unbelievably on their t wo

matchups,” graduating senior defender Allie Martin said. “Different than against Princeton ... [they were] really playing as unit and sliding together, with everyone having each other’s back.” Meanwhile, Penn’s attack kept clicking in the second half, as the Quakers added six more goals. The 12-point effort marks the team’s highest scoring total so far this year. “ We were able to really st ar t mov ing. We had d ifferent people taking drives, taking shots, which is something we haven’t seen much this season,” Bensen said. “We’re going hard for the full 60 minutes, and that allowed us to put the big points on the board.” More importantly, the team allowed its five graduating seniors to leave Franklin Field with the taste of victory in

their mouths. “It’s definitely been an emotional year, and just realizing that it’s our last time playing on this field was pretty awesome because every game means so much right now,” Martin said. “My biggest thing is heart and fight. I leave everything on the field.” As a result of Princeton’s 1210 win against Dartmouth, the Quakers have to win both of their upcoming games against Columbia and Cornell to clinch a share of the Ivy title. Were that to happen, the Tigers would still host this year’s edition of the Iv y Leag ue Tournament, having won the tiebreaker against Penn. “We got to play the same way for the next two games,” Martin said. “Just got to give it our all, know that every single minute counts and play the full 60 minutes.”

It isn’t about how you start, but how you finish. And with Penn men’s lacrosse’s Ancient Eight season coming to a close on Saturday, the Red and Blue certainly finished on a high note. This weekend, the Quakers finished their Ivy season strong with a 9-3 win over the Big Green. With a final record of four wins and two losses, this is the best Ivy performance the team has had since its 2011 season when the current seniors were freshmen. “It was good,” coach Mike Murphy said about the win. “[The] last Ivy League season game for the seniors, and I think we were prepared well and had a good week in practice, and I think we played well in most phases.” The Red and Blue (7-3, 4-2 Ivy) dominated the beginning of play, recording five goals before Dartmouth (1-9, 0-5) was even able to get on the board. Senior midfield Drew Belinsky took the first of Penn’s five-run streak off an assist from junior attack Isaac Bock at 4:51. His goal would be followed by backto-back goals from senior midfield Zack Losco. Two more came soon after from sophomore attack Nick Doktor with under a minute-and-a-half in the first quarter and junior Chris Hupfeldt at the start of the second. While the Big Green put its first tally on the board in the second period, it was never able to gain a lead over the Quakers. It always remained at least four goals behind the Red and Blue. Overall, six different members of Penn’s team scored. Junior Andrew Staller recorded his second goal of his

Game four Entering into a weekend series with Princeton, Penn softball was in a tight race for the South Division crown. But after winning three of its four contests against the Tigers, the Quakers are now sitting pretty, with a 2.5-game lead over trailing Columbia. Penn (15-17, 10-5 Ivy) made the most of its road series against Princeton (15-24, 7-9). The weekend began on Saturday with the first two of the Quakers’ four games. Penn stole the first game, beating the Tigers, 11-1. While Princeton got the first run in the first inning, the Quakers matched it in the second with a home run from freshman Leah Allen on the first pitch of the next at bat. That marked her 10th home run of the season, which ties the Penn record for most home runs in a season. The Red and Blue went on to dominate in the fifth and sixth innings, staying strong on defense and never giving the Tigers a chance to put another notch on the board. The second game also brought success to the Quakers, but by a smaller margin. Penn defeated Princeton, 4-3. Princeton was once again first on the board in the first inning, but the Quakers were able to match it when sophomore Lauren

Penn junior pitcher Alexis Borden did everything to get Penn some key Ivy victories this weekend, picking up two wins and a save. Borden won the first game of both weekend doubleheaders and her save came in relief of freshman pitcher Alexis Sargent to finish off a big 4-3 win on Saturday. Li hit a single to right field which allowed freshman Alexis Sargent to come home in the third. This time, however, the Tigers successfully put more points on the board in the fourth and fifth innings.

However, the Quakers were able to hold them off and keep their onepoint lead to win the game with a scoreless sixth inning. On Sunday, the Quakers took to the diamond again following the
