Six campus eateries expected to close in June These closings contribute to at least 11 closures in the past year DAN SPINELLI Executive Editor

Six campus eateries are slated to close by the end of June, a University official confirmed on May 18th. The food court connected to CVS at 3401 Walnut Street, which includes Quiznos, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Mediterranean Cafe and Nom Nom Ramen, “will close at the end of June 2017,” Executive Director of Real Estate Ed Datz said in an email. He also said the Saladworks at 3728 Spruce Street is closing, but did not specify when it would finally shutter its doors. An employee who picked up the phone at Saladworks on Thursday afternoon said he was not aware of any impending closure. He did not leave his name and said a manager “was out making deliveries” and would call back later. Facilities and Real Estate Services did not have further comment on what would replace Saladworks. At least one food court spot has already closed. A manager at Nom Nom Ramen’s Center City location said the food court location shut down “in the last month or so.” No mention of the former West Philadelphia location exists on the restaurant’s website. In addition to the eateries, the Saturn Club Hair Salon at 3426 Sansom Street, located next to White Dog Cafe, will close on June 3, according to a post on the shop’s Facebook page: Datz did not comment on the Saturn Club’s closing because it’s not in a building Penn leases.

Gutmann’s salary climbs to 3.5 mil. Her total compensation has risen 341 percent since 2005 DAN SPINELLI Executive Editor

Penn President Amy Gutmann’s total salary climbed to a record $3,537,020 in 2015, according to the most recent records Penn filed to the Internal Revenue Service. Gutmann’s compensation package, a 6.09 percent increase from what she brought home in 2014, remains one of the largest in

the country. A report from the Chronicle of Higher Education, which used data from 2014 and before, recently listed Gutmann’s salary as the fourth-highest nationwide and the top among all Ivy League presidents. Top administrators’ salary information became available this week with the public release of the University’s 2015 Form 990, an annual requirement for nonprofit institutions like Penn. Because of the lag in federal reporting requirements, the 2015 form — covering Jul. 1, 2015 to Jun. 30, 2016 — is the most recent period from which data is

Two Penn students were elected as officials in Philadelphia’s local elections held on May 16. 2016 College graduate and Penn Law School student Louis Capozzi and College sophomore Louis Lin both ran unopposed for the position of Judge of Election. Capozzi ran in Ward 27, District 11, and Lin in Ward 27, Division 20. The Judge of Election serves a term of four years and is responsible for ensuring that proper voting procedures are upheld. On election days, they are present at polling places ensuring that voters receive ballots, explaining the voting process to voters and checking in voters as they enter the voting location. The position is nonpartisan, but members of either party usually fill the seat. Capozzi is a Republican and Lin is a Democrat.

Penn professor calls on colleges to cut ties to fraternities The op-ed was published in The Philadelphia Inquirer DAN SPINELLI Executive Editor

Jonatha n Zim mer ma n, a professor in the Graduate School of Education, called on universities to cut ties with fraternities in a blistering op-ed published by The Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday. “It’s not just that fraternity members are more likely than other male students to commit sexual assault or indulge in

binge drinking … It’s that fraternities teach men that they must degrade women — and debase themselves — to cement their tough-guy bona fides,” Zimmerman wrote. “Of course, nothing can stop a bunch of guys from affixing Greek letters to their names. But universities should stop recognizing-and subsidizing-them. Maybe then our male students will learn better ways of being a man.” His opinion piece comes amid a national conversation on hazing and fraternity culture

stemming from the death of Penn State University sophomore Timothy Piazza, who died in February after drinking excessively during a hazing ritual at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house. Eighteen members of the fraternity have been charged in relation to Piazza’s death. In an interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian, Zimmerman said he felt motivated to write the op-ed to add historical context to the national conversation about fraternities. “ T he r a ison d’êt re of

Penn named most beautiful college in Pennsylvania Penn’s architecture cited as reason for the honor DAN SPINELLI Executive Editor

Penn doesn’t just command a top-notch academic reputation — it is also the “most beautiful college” in the state of Pennsylvania, according to a list released by Travel + Leisure Magazine. “Penn has it all,” the magazine said in a blurb, “eclectic a nd va r ied a rch itect u re, plenty of trees, and even a park with views of the Philadelphia skyline.” Other Ivy League universities, including Princeton, Dartmouth and Yale, all received the same honor for their respective states. Penn, which dates its official founding to 1740 but only began using its present-day West Philadelphia campus in 1872, contains a number of buildings included in the National Register of Historic

frater nities was to define masculinity in a way that emphasized aggression — that emphasized violence,” he said. “I think universities should wash their hands of the whole thing. Our students aren’t children. It’s infantilizing for us to regulate them.” Penn State President Eric Barron has publicly warned fraternities and sororities that they could see “the beginning of the end of Greek life at Penn State” if chapters continued to break school rules. At Penn however, Greek

leaders have publicly rejected calls to de-recognize affiliated chapters from the university, noting how unrecognized chapters ca n produce g reater problems for the school without supervision. “As we’ve seen with Penn’s chapters that’ve moved offca mpus, they continue to function as social groups,” Panhellenic Council President and College senior Caroline Ohlson told the DP at the time. “They just do so with even more risk because the University isn’t holding them accountable.”

Penn recently completed a two-month investigation into of f- ca mpus orga n i zat ions, which tend to operate like underground frater nities and sororities. Zimmerman disputed this notion, saying the bulk of analysis at schools which have de -re cog n i z e d f rat er n it ies recently, such as Bowdoin, Williams, Rollins and Middlebury, shows levels of alcohol abuse and sexual assault decreasing. “I don’t think there’s any doubt in the historical record on this,” he said.

Capozzi, a former columnist for The Daily Pennsylvanian

who just completed his first year at Penn Law, decided to run after reading an article published by Committee of 70, a nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving and expanding the voting vexperience in Philadelphia and holding government officials accountable. He encouraged other Penn students to take advantage of similar opportunities, acknowledging that there were several other unopposed empty seats in this election.

Larry Krasner won the Democratic primary for District Attorney

He is set to win against his opponent in Nov.

DAN SPINELLI & REBECCA TAN Executive Editor & News Editor

Larry K rasner, the civil rights attorney who has become the darling of national progressives in recent weeks, cruised to victory in the Democratic primary for Philadelphia’s next district attorney. The Associated Press declared him the winner on the night of May 16. With nearly 75 percent of the vote counted, Krasner held 35 percent of the votes in a seven-person field. Penn Law School professor Joe Khan remained steady in second place, trailing Krasner by about 15 percentage points. Krasner will face Republican Beth Grossman in the November general election, where he is highly favored to win. In Philadelphia, over 77 percent

of registered voters are Democrats. For an off-year race, the district attorney primary has garnered a significant amount of national press, mostly due to liberal outlets like The Huffington Post and The Intercept reporting on Krasner’s progressive bona fides. Krasner, who is avowedly anti-Trump, has aligned himself with many of the same causes for mer presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) campaigned on, including criminal justice reform. He has also said he does not support the death penalty and will not pursue it. “I am not willing to help ICE with mass deportations,” he told The Intercept in an interview. “I am not willing to help the DEA or the FBI return to the mentality of the war on drugs.” A lifelong defense attorney, Krasner had never served as a

prosecutor before campaigning for Philadelphia’s top prosecutorial position. His campaign was greatly assisted in recent weeks by a $1.45 million donation from billionaire investor George Soros, who contributed in late April to a political action committee supporting Krasner. Penn Democrats endorsed Krasner on April 18, praising his record on “matters of civil forfeiture, mandatory minimums, and bail reform.” Another reason for the unusual level of attention on this district attorney’s race is due to controversy that surrounded incumbent DA Seth Williams.

President Amy Gutmann will receive an honorary degree from Johns Hopkins University along with five other honorees at the University’s upcoming commencement ceremony on May 24. Johns Hopkins’ Board of Trustees Secretary Maureen Marsh told The Daily Pennsylvanian that Gutmann was chosen due to her status as one of higher education’s most respected leaders. “She believes deeply in the value of thoughtful, reasoned discourse and places a premium on education’s role in our democracy,” Marsh said. “One of the things that really

Only in the last three years for which data is available has “bonus and incentive compensation” comprised the largest chunk of her compensation package.

Why I’m throwing JFK a birthday party DELIGHT IN DISORDER | Alcohol will be provided; “flask not..”

I am throwing JFK a hundredth birthday party on May 29th. The signature drink will be the Jack & Coke; pun intended. Also, daiquiris will be served; no pun intended. JFK just loved daiquiris. Each year on November 24th, headlines are run, television tributes are broadcast and I imagine, in some Boston churches, masses are said. It isn’t just the general tragedy of the late president’s assassination which makes the 24th a perpetual vigil; it’s also the drama: the memory of a pink Chanel suit stained in blood, a broadcast in which Walter Cronkite got choked up, a little boy’s iconic salute. And maybe, too, it’s our society’s obsession with fate; our focus on the circumstances which cannot be controlled; in this case, death. I see this same cynicism every day at Penn. When a student’s younger sibling is accepted, a “family connection” is instantly identified. “Quotas” are acknowledged

begrudgingly as the reason for a particularly impressive internship. We neglect to consider the intelligence and creativity of our peers, instead attributing their successes to fate, luck, circumstance. JFK’s accomplishments have been judged with similar suspicion. But he was special not because of the things that happened to him, but because of the things he happened upon: the speeches he gave, the causes he backed, the lives he touched (and one in which he outright saved). Scholars will sell it to you differently. I can’t tell you how many biographies I’ve read which perpetuate the “second son” myth. The myth holds that JFK was bound for a life of normalcy until the day his brother and his father’s namesake, Joe Jr., died in a plane crash. But to regard the thirty-fifth president as a mere successor to his father’s ambitions is to deny him his spectacular way, which surely did not materialize more than two

decades into his life. His will to survive, dream and seize opportunity prepared him for the presidency and for an enduring place in history. Having spent much of his childhood in infirmaries, he became an insatiable reader of history. He was constantly modelling himself on the great men who came had come before him. And in constantly having

to come. His admittance to Spee, a finals club in which Catholics were barred, was telling. With his famous charisma, he could discredit prejudices harbored over generations in a single conversation. He’d go on, of course, to break “the stained glass ceiling,” becoming the first Catholic elected president. And these overcome prejudices made him empathic

If it’s true that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, then JFK’s time at Harvard was particularly indicative of what was

torpedoed in the Pacific theater, JFK carried a burned man on his back. He swam three long miles, clenching a life jacket with his teeth; this, despite his lifelong back pain, so chronic and intense, he’d often lay on wood tables for “relief.” His grit, charm, curiosity and courage have always inspired me. I remember devouring biographies beneath my desk during algebra in high school; not just enjoying history, but modeling my future self. I know from all I’ve read that he was not his father’s son, but his own man, and he was not his death, but his life. So I choose to celebrate his life, just as the late Jacqueline Kennedy did (she would visit Arlington in May, not November). To borrow a phrase from the inaugural address I love, “will you join in that historic effort?” Will you join in a rejection of cynicism and the romantic sham that is fate?

Doing the right thing doesn’t require selling your soul ROAD JESS TRAVELLED | And why everyone should build something here

I was struck by a conversation that my friend had the other day. Like me, she identifies herself as part of the “green” scene, someone who cares about and advocates for the environment on Penn’s campus. She is a Wharton student, and she was recently talking to another Wharton student about her environmental interests. He responded with this: “That’s nice, but I don’t have time to care about the environment. I sold my soul to Joseph Wharton.” Someone’s first reaction might be to laugh this off and proclaim, “Classic Wharton!” My immediate reaction was anger and disbelief. Though others have told me he was probably joking, there’s something to be said about this careless display of apathy that seems to permeate throughout our everyday actions and conversations. This might have been a joke, but there is a problematic undercurrent of truth in his words

— that our self-driven interests to secure that high-paying job or immerse ourselves in impressive extracurriculars goes above caring about the environment, or the world around us. At Penn, we love to keep ourselves busy. Or at least, we love to say we’re busy — counting off the assignments we have due that week, the meetings we have to go to, the jobs we’re applying for. It often feels like a competition we constantly sustain ourselves in. The illusion that we do not even have enough time to stop by a table on Locust Walk and learn about the Fossil Free Penn movement or even a club’s upcoming dance show is something we like to pride ourselves on. And it means that we diminish the value of being an aware, conscientious person. By buying into the culture of constant busyness, we choose to deny the value of the little actions that we can do to improve

our environment effectively and immediately. These actions could be as simple as eating everything on our plates at Commons to reduce food waste or attending a campus-wide discussion on the aftermath of the 2016 election.

After my first year on campus, I realized that apathy at Penn does not only stop at environmental concerns. We live in a bubble, albeit a comfortable, cozy bubble, but a bubble that sometimes seems to ignore the community around us.

He responded with this: “That’s nice, but I don’t have time to care about the environment. I sold my soul to Joseph Wharton.” The excuses of “selling one’s soul to Wharton” or being “too busy” are invalid — regardless of the responsibilities one has, there is always time to be respectful and aware of the Earth and the people around us. There is always time to care. It’s our responsibility to care.

The concerns of West Philadelphia seem foreign, let alone the current events of the world. Even within our own bubble, we are often solely interested in our own pursuits, barely giving a glance at discussions, protests, and events on campus that don’t directly pertain to us. It’s easy

to mark “interested” on Facebook events and not go, and even easier to choose the path of not doing anything at all. Beyond college, apathy is a real and seemingly insurmountable challenge. Environmental apathy, political apathy, social apathy, these are all dangerous obstacles to progress in our country. Though we may view self-interest as necessary to our success, the consequences of choosing to be apathetic — environmental destruction, political turmoil, social injustice — ultimately outweigh the benefits we accrue. The least we can do is start advocating for the issues we care about and listening to the concerns of others now, in a college campus and space receptive to intellectual discussion and change. It’s not only about hosting huge rallies or movements; it’s the small things that count, too. Reaching out to a friend, participating in a discussion,

JESSICA LI catching up on current events — all these minute actions make a world of difference. So I guess what I have to say to the kid who sold his soul is this: it doesn’t matter if you have 5 meetings to go to tonight or 10 papers due tomorrow — you have time to turn off the lights when you leave the room, throw recyclables in the recycling bin, and pay attention to the world around you.

Penn alumni use class reunion to take a stand against Trump One alumnus made “Denounce Trump” buttons MADELEINE LAMON News Editor

Penn alumni who returned to campus for a class reunion this weekend took a stand against one of their peers — President Donald Trump. More than a dozen attendees of the 1967 class reunion and graduation ceremony will wear buttons calling upon Penn to “Denounce Trump,” who graduated from Wharton in 1968. Penn declined to comment on this story. Created by 1967 Wharton graduate Michael Sales, the lapel buttons criticized Penn’s ostensible lack of response to a multitude of unproven claims reported about Trump and his alma mater, including the incorrect statement reported by various news outlets that he “graduated first in his class” as a Wharton student in 1968. “It’s a personal statement,” Sales said. “I think that the University is doing a disservice to itself and to its students and its subsequent reputation by not, at a minimum, correcting the record of lies that Donald Trump has

told about his experience at the university.” While Trump has bragged repeatedly about being a successful student in college, it is not clear if he told news agencies he graduated first in his class. The reports do not quote him making that claim. Sales added, “Bragging about sexual assault and harassment, ethnic stereotyping, religious bigotry and inciting violence are not acceptable at the University.” Sales’ journey toward activism began when he created a Facebook page for the Class of 1967 prior to their 45th reunion. Over time, he decided to incorporate both political posts and nostalgic look-backs at the class’ time in campus, using The Daily Pennsylvanian’s online archives. As Trump’s rise to the presidency began to unsettle the campus, Sales addressed the tense political climate through the Facebook group. He signed a widely circulated online petition calling for Penn President Amy Gutmann and the Board of Trustees to “disavow the intolerant views” of Trump and included political commentary in his Facebook posts to the class page. “Penn is making a strategic and a moral mistake by not

officially disassociating itself from this bully,” he said. While many of his classmates responded with their own political commentary, some, such as class president, reunion cochair and 1967 College graduate Howard Freedlander asked his friend and classmate to refrain from politicizing the online page and their upcoming reunion. Sales, who quit posting to the page after the backlash from the petition, wanted to take a tangible stand against a president who he characterized as stating “anti-intellectual” alternative facts.

senior Nancy Wong described as “base code for other people to build social good projects.” “So if you want to build a social impact application,” Wong said, “you have a lot of this [code] ready for you to use, and you can customize that.” One of Hack4Impact’s most recent projects, Maps4All, aims to create a “generalized mapping platform for nonprofits” that can be used “to map resources for their organization or target audience.” Former Hack4Impact Education Chair and Engineering junior Rani Iyer described Maps4All as a marriage of several previous projects. “We had made similar projects that were about making resources for people that were food insecure or homeless or looking for different food pantries across the city,” he said. Every organization that Hack4Impact works with can customize Maps4All to suit their needs. Iyer described how Maps4All could assist the homeless by mapping out homeless shelters according to information like what form of identification each shelter

understanding of the university,” Pellow said. “The button is a statement in favor of knowledge, reasoning, analysis, news and facts.” For Lawrence Walsh, a 1967 College graduate who had never even encountered Sales, the decision to wear the button to the reunion dinner was an easy one. “Wharton has a stake in this and there is a way to counter it [Trump’s statements] without being aggressive and [a] leftwing maniac — roll out what is already a public record,” he said. ” [Instead] a material falsehood was allowed to go through the campaign.” Although Penn administrators remained quiet about Trump during his campaign, Penn President Amy Gutmann broke her silence at the end of January to criticize the president’s executive order on immigration. This was the first time she had publicly mentioned Trump by name since the start of his presidential campaign. Even as some classmates have embraced this political symbol, others expressed fears that it could distract from the purpose of the reunion weekend. One member of the class of 1967 decided to not wear the button due

requires. Hack4Impact’s coding is part “of a larger movement of tech and social impact,” Wong said. Student groups across the country have worked to marry the two areas. In fact, the Hack4Impact website recognizes five other organizations that share a similar mission: Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Code for Good, University of California at Berkeley’s Cal Blueprint, Duke University’s HackDuke, University of Southern California’s Code the Change and Stanford University’s CS + Social Good. “For me it’s very personally meaningful to use and apply these skills in a way that can enact positive social change” Wong said, especially noting that, because the organization is relatively new, they have “more influence in the direction that it takes.” Iyer said that coming together for a shared purpose in coding also brings together many people with shared interests and values. “The reason that I got interested in tech was its impact on other people,” Iyer said. “One of the big strengths of Hack4Impact is definitely its community. We get a lot of people with similar values.”

a visual statement criticizing his alma mater’s response to Trump, Sales ordered 100 lapel buttons in Penn’s colors and began reaching out to classmates asking if they would be interested in joining him in wearing them over the course of their three-day reunion. When Deborah Pellow, a 1967 College for Women graduate, was contacted by her former classmate, she decided to wear the button as a symbol promoting the values of her undergraduate experience. “He’s capitalizing on Penn’s name and in no way, shape or form does he represent my

days following the start of the campaign, the page raised over $46,000 from 170 donors and continues to grow by the hour. The page also details Mings’s injuries. According to the description of the GoFundMe page, the Management and Technology student sustained a traumatic brain injury with numerous cranial fractures and various fractures to his skull base. The accident also caused a right frontal epidural hematoma. “We are determined for Mason to return to the University of Pennsylvania when fully

recovered,” Kara Mings said. “I feel grateful that there is such a big group that’s praying for us and supporting us.” She added that Penn has been of great support to the family since the accident. “The University handled all the logistics prior to arrival and ushered us through the process during our stay at the hospital,” she said. “The University is behind Mason and supporting him.” Quad Residential Services declined to comment on this case. “Mason is a compassionate and caring friend who I can always count on for support,” said College sophomore Ryan

to the fear that it “may be divisive.” Freedlander agreed, expressing worry that the buttons could lead to angry disputes between classmates. He said while he understands that individuals have intense feelings about the current political climate, he believes that this weekend should be an opportunity to “reconnect, learn and express love for the university.” In response, wearers of the button say political divisiveness is simply a fact of life under the Trump administration. “I think that life right now is divisive and to pretend otherwise is stupid,” Pellow said. “I’m not going to walk around chanting, I’m not going to proselytize and I’m not going to tell anybody to join my party.” “Penn was very, very important to me, in my coming of age basically. I learned a lot, I met a lot of interesting people, and it was a good education… and I think that therefore stands for something,” she added. “If Trump were quiet about his background it would be one thing, [but instead] he brags about having graduated from Penn – well, then what did he learn there?”

DelGaudio, who is a member of Penn’s all-male comedy troupe Mask and Wig along with Mings. “I’m so thankful for his speedy recovery and look forward to hanging out and living with him during the rest of our time at Penn.” Sophomore Oludare Marcelle, a former member of Mask and Wig, told the DP that Mings “is a crazy smart kid who has so many genuine interests.” "[Mings’s] recovery has been fantastic thus far,” Marcelle said, to his knowledge, “so we know he still has that ‘never say die’ spirit even though he’s not fully aware of everything he’s saying yet.”

baseball defeated by Yale in ILCS

THEODOROS PAPAZEKOS Sports Reporter

Ouch. Seeking its first conference title since 1995, Penn baseball fell to Yale in the Ivy League Championship Series in two games on Tuesday, 5-0 and 11-7. The Quakers (23-22, 12-8 Ivy) were dominated all day long by the Elis (30-16, 16-4) in every facet of the game. Yale’s offensive power was unmatched by the Quakers until it was too late as starters Scott Politz and Eric Brodkowitz outdueled Penn’s seniors Jake Cousins and Adam Bleday and the defense came up with innumerable web gems that prevented the Quakers from even reaching base. Game 1 starter Cousins kept things close for a while, but the Yale bats were able to wear him down late, scoring 5 runs spread across the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. The first three innings were evenly matched 0-0 baseball. Both teams had baserunners, but well hit balls found fielders and the pitchers were able to negotiate somewhat sticky situations. That ended in the fourth, when a leadoff walk issued to Yale right fielder Harrison White came back to hurt Cousins. The Bulldogs had a baserunner in every inning, and manufactured runs in the fifth and sixth innings, via consistent hitting and porous defending. Neither team was charged with errors, but the

As a three-time Ivy League Champion as a Penn player, a two-time Ivy Player of the Year, an NBA player and the head coach of Penn men’s basketball from 2009 to 2015, Jerome Allen has accomplished a lot in his basketball life. But now, Allen is facing a whole new kind of challenge. As an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics, Allen now has to help his team slow down the Defending NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers. But how did Allen go from the head coach of middling team in the Ivy League to a key part of the effort to contain the likes of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving?Well, the path wasn’t especially smooth. After a dominant playing career for the Quakers, Allen was awarded the head coaching position of his alma mater in 2009 following the firing of Glen Miller. Though by all accounts he was revered and respected by his players and fellow coaches alike, the positive atmosphere did not translate to wins, as Allen was unable to coach his team to an Ivy title in his six years at the helm. In fact, the team finished with a winning record

The year was 1971. David Montgomery had just finished up his MBA at Wharton. Looking for a job to start right away, Montgomery interviewed with various companies like Scott Paper Company and Quaker Oats. He even met with the Philadelphia 76ers. Montgomery, though, had finished school in December and all of these potential employers did not want him to start until May. Undeterred, he reached out to the father of a high schooler he coached in football at Germantown Academy. Luckily for Montgomery, that father happened to be former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher and future hall of famer Robin Roberts. Roberts proved to be a great connection. After joining Roberts and a Phillies staffer named Bill Giles at a clinic, Montgomery was offered a job working in the Phillies’ sales department. It was everything Montgomery was looking for. The job offered Montgomery the opportunity to follow his passion for baseball and he was able to start working right away. “I met Bill [Giles] on a Saturday and started working the following Monday,” Montgomery recalled.

Jerome Allen enjoys Boston Celtics success

only once in those six years. Unfortunately for Allen, the accumulated 65-104 record and last place finish in the conference in 2015 were not enough to warrant a seventh season as the head coach of Penn men’s basketball. Instead, athletic director Grace Calhoun, in her first year in the position,forced Allen to, sending him in search of his next job. Fortunately for Allen, his unsuccessful stint as Penn’s coach did not damage his reputation much in professional basketball circles. In July of 2015, Allen made the leap to the NBA, joining the staff of Brad Stevens, on whom he had made quite the impression. “I was always incredibly impressed with [Allen],” Stevens said in 2015 to masslive.com.

difference in fielding was perhaps the biggest factor in the difference on the scoreboard. Yale consistently made outstanding plays to keep the Quakers off the base paths, while Penn misplayed crucial moments. Freshman shortstop Dai Dai Otaka in particular was spectacular for the Bulldogs, making play after play to turn routine base hits into spectacular outs. Meanwhile, non-error blunders from the Quakers turned potential inning ending double plays into rally sustaining fielder’s choices. Meanwhile, Penn couldn’t get any type of offense going. Yale’s Politz pitched a shutout complete game, allowing only 5 hits – all singles – spread out across his nine innings. The Quakers only reached second base twice, and both times failed to advance a runner further. Politz was efficient, but his stuff was not overpowering. The Yale hurler only struck out five. Instead, his success was predicated on allowing the Quakers to make contact and relying on his defense behind him. Every ball off a Penn bat seemed to gravitate towards a Bulldog fielder. While the Quakers hung around in the early stages of Game 1, Game 2 was almost over before it

“I have talked to players that have played for him that love him, and I knew about him as a fan watching him play, being a guy that has always appreciated smaller schools and what they can do. The bright lights were on him and he was a great player. He’s a great person, and we’re looking forward to having him around.” For the Celtics, Allen’s tenure with the team has been very fruitful. Since being hired, the Celtics have quickly moved up the standings within the NBA. The year before Allen’s arrival saw Boston finish with a 40-42 record. In the two years since, the team has won 101 combined games, going 48-34 and then 53-29, and still appears to be on the upswing. SEE ALLEN PAGE 7

The only catch was the pay. Despite selling season tickets by day and operating the scoreboard by night, Montgomery was still only able to make $150 a week. That was enough for Montgomery to live on in the early 1970’s, but it was definitely less than what he could’ve been making with his MBA in many other jobs. As low as he started, Montgomery did not take very long to prove his worth. Within a few years, Montgomery was promoted to director of sales and marketing, and by 1980, he was the head of the entire business department. “I was just blessed with opportunities,” Montgomery said. “And because it was the focus of what I was doing, it never felt like a job to me. I was just pursuing my passion in sports.” In the 1980’s, Montgomery continued to rise up the ranks. In 1981, Montgomery was part of a group that purchased the team and he started working as the team’s executive vice president. Finally in 1997, Montgomery reached the pinnacle of his career with the Phillies. After Giles — the same person who hired Montgomery all those years earlier — stepped down to focus on finding the team a new stadium, Montgomery was hired to serve as the team’s president. In that role, Montgomery found great success. He was

key in building a roster that won the 2008 World Series and also helped the Phillies build a new stadium. On top of all that, he established himself as a major force within the MLB. Former MLB commissioner Bud Selig even credited Montgomery for helping to create the revenuesharing and wild card system. “I have the utmost respect for him as a person, and he is very, very smart,” Selig told the New York Times. “He always does what he believes is best for the game.” A nd despit e ba seba l l’s general downward trend in popularity, Montgomery is still optimistic about the future of the game. He acknowledges that the growth of other sports like lacrosse presents challenges for increasing baseball participation amongst youth, but he also points out that baseball has several advantages. “I believe that the one advantage we have from a spectator standpoint is that we’re played outdoors in the summer,” Montgomery said. “We are still the game that I think has the most appeal in terms of grandparents taking their grandchildren. My mom went to loads of Phillies games and never played the game at all.” In many ways, Montgomery owes his own career to the many experiences he had with sports as a young child.

Hall of Famer Roger Reina returns as Penn wrestling coach Reina previously coached from 1986 - 2005 YOSEF WEITZMAN Summer Sports Editor

Home is where the heart is and sometimes it’s just too hard to stay away. That couldn’t be more true for Penn wrestling legend and Hall of Famer Roger Reina. After coaching the wrestling team from 1986-2005, Penn Athletic

Director Grace Calhoun announced Wednesday that Reina would be returning to his position as head coach. The news comes two weeks after Calhoun announced that former head coach Alex Tirapelle had resigned. Reina’s relationship with Penn also dates back even further than when he started coaching the team in 1986. He graduated from the College in 1984 and his father was a longtime faculty member for Penn Museum and

the Anthropology Department. “We are thrilled that Roger Reina, the winningest coach in Penn wrestling history and a Hall of Famer, is returning to coach our wrestling team at this critical time for the program,” said Calhoun in a Penn Athletics press release. For Reina, his qualifications speak for themselves. He is Penn’s all-time winningest coach, a four-time EIWA champion, an eight-time Ivy League Champion, and a three-time

EIWA Coach of the Year. Since leaving Penn in 2005, Reina has worked actively with the Pennsylvania Regional Training Center, an elite wrestling training center for wrestlers of all ages. Since early 2016, he has also been Penn’s senior associate athletic director for external affairs. “Roger has been an outstanding Penn Athletics administrator for the past two years, remaining very involved in promoting the sport as a member of the Penn

in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia, Montgomery played all of the “big three” sports in baseball, basketball, and football, but the Phillies always reserved a special place in his heart. As an undergrad at Penn studying histor y, Montgomery continued to attend Ph ill ies ga mes. Joined by the future governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell, Montgomery would sit in the bleachers and try to eat as much food as $5 could buy. All of these years later, Montgomery still remembers his experience at Penn very fondly. As someone who was “blessed with interest in sports, but not with tremendous athletic ability”, Montgomery had a deep appreciation for Penn’s intramural sports program. And for Montgomery, his relationship with Penn did not end when he got his diploma. Instead, he has remained very involved. Naturally, a lot of that involvement has been through sports as he is a frequent attendant at Penn basketball games, but he also served as a trustee on Penn’s board. Of course, all of these com m itments have kept Montgomery very busy, but that doesn’t bother him. “The hours in sports are a

Together with Stevens and the rest of the coaching staff, Allen has helped coach the Celtics to new heights, as the team finished the 2016-2017 regular season with the best record in an Eastern Conference that included James’ Cavaliers. Going back to his time with the Miami Heat, Lebron James’ team has made the NBA Finals in six straight seasons. In this year’s playoffs, though, nothing has come easy for the Celtics. Just days before the team’s first playoff game, AllStar guard Isaiah Thomas’ sister passed away in a fatal car accident. After that, despite being

even started. Yale’s Tim DeGraw hit Bleday’s second pitch of the game to the gap for a leadoff double, and it was only downhill from there. Bleday was yanked before he finished his third inning, giving up eight runs on nine hits including two homers. Gabe Kleiman, who came in for Bleday in the third inning, would give up a third home run. By the end of the third it was 10-0 Yale. After the deficit was extended to 11 in the fifth, the Penn bats finally woke up. The rally was fueled by an error from Yale’s Dai Dai Otaka, who suddenly looked human after his amazing showing earlier in the day. With the change in Yale’s defensive fortunes came Penn’s resurgence. Three runs in the fifth came from small ball: walks, errors, and sacrifice flies made the inning a sabermetrics delight.

Coach Priore will have to find a new quarterback to replace Alek Torgersen, who recently signed with the Atlanta Falcons after not being drafted.

as well as another QB recruit in Ryan Glover, Priore and the rest of the coaching staff will be eager to see who comes out on top during camp. The Quakers will be looking to get as much out of their new recruiting class as they can if they hope to win their third straight Ivy League championship. Important seniors like Torgersen, offensive linemen Nick Demes and Daniel Poulos, wide receiver Cam Countryman, kickers Jimmy Gammill and Aron Morgan and defensive lineman Corey Power will be graduating, among a host of other senior leaders on the team. “We have scoured the country to find the ‘Ultimate StudentAthletes’ who have high goals both on the field and off,” said Priore on PennAthletics.com. “We are thrilled that Penn has earned the right to be their home and cannot wait for this outstanding group to join our family when camp opens.”

heavily favored, the Celtics lost the first two games of their seven game series against the Chicago Bulls. Remarkably, Thomas and the Celtics were able to turn it around, leading the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals and their current matchup with the Cavs. Once again, the series got off to a rocky start for the Celtics as the found themselves in another 0-2 hole. As if that was not enough adversity, Thomas also also injured his hip and was ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs. Despite all that, Allen and the Celtics did not give up. On Sunday, the Celtics pulled off one of the biggest upsets in recent NBA history by beating

the Cavaliers on the road without Thomas. Now, they only trail the Cavs by one game in the series. The odds are still stacked against the Celtics for the rest of the series, but with the number one pick in the upcoming NBA draft, the future is looking very bright in Boston. For Allen, all of the Celtics’ success has been part of a remarkable turnaround in his career. A couple years ago, Allen’s career look doomed after being forced out of University City, but now he is near the top of the NBA. And who knows? In the next year or two, Allen might even be able to claim that his team bested James and brought Boston its record 18th NBA Championship banner.

Two Penn homers, contributed by senior Tim Graul and junior Daniel Halevy closed the game to four. In the bottom of the ninth, the Quakers were able to load the bases with two outs. The tying run was at the plate to complete the most miraculous of comebacks. Instead, the batter, freshman Chris Adams, struck out. The Quakers failed to ever take a lead in the series sweep, and were shut out for the first 13 innings. Penn looked terrible; you can put the blame on the nerves of playing for a conference title, the unfortunate rescheduling, the timing after commencement, or whatever other excuse you can think of. The truth is much simpler: Yale was the better team. In a year where some Penn teams collapsed under pressure in big moments, Penn baseball salvaged what could have been the most embarrassing. At the halfway mark in Game 2, the combined

score was 16-0. That is an embarrassing defeat under any standard. The game was out of reach, and it wouldn’t have been out of question for the Quakers to give up on a day where nothing was going their way. But the Quakers didn’t give in. Like the “zombie” men’s basketball team in the winter, the Red and Blue found the guts and heart to battle it out to the bitter end. They came up short, but that shouldn’t take away from the effort and resilience they showed in the face of an insurmountable deficit. Penn baseball did not win the Ivy League title. The Quakers now have the longest title drought in the conference at 22 years. That said, they also had their best season in a decade, finally taking the next step in winning the Lou Gehrig Division. They put up the fifth most wins in school history. But knowledge of this season’s progress doesn’t lessen the pain of this series loss. This one hurts.

little crazy because you work a regular business week and then when the games are on, that’s when your product is shown,” Montgomery said. “That’s not for everyone, but for me, it never felt like work.” Montgomery’s commitment to the Phillies was seriously tested in 2014 when, at the age of 68, he had to undergo surgery for cancer in his jaw. Some thought Montgomery would just retire, but not even cancer would slow him down. After recovering for a few months on a medical leave of absence, Montgomery returned to the Phillies as team chairman.

Now in 2017, Montgomery is still working as chairman. It’s been 46 years since Montgomer y first sta r ted as a season-ticket salesman and scoreboard operator, but Montgomery has showed no signs of slowing down. When Montgomery eventually does choose to retire, he will go down as a great in Philadelphia sports. He was a part of both of the Phillies’ World Series and helped the team capture the imagination of millions in the process. Calculating the full impact he has made is impossible, but then again, who’s keeping score?

Ryslik, from Freehold, New Jersey, played his high school football at the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, where he was given all-conference honors and named the best defensive end in the state. The other transfer will be quarterback Nick Robinson. After spending time at the University of Georgia, Robinson will come in looking to compete for the starting job as graduating senior Alek Torgersen begins his career in the Atlanta Falcons organization. Last season at Saddlebrook CC, Robinson posted a 61% completion percentage and 16 touchdowns on his way to all-conference recognition. One thing is certain: whoever earns the starting spot for the Quakers will have big shoes to fill. The only other rostered quarterback on the team has yet to see any varsity action in his career. By bringing in Robinson

Class features 30 new players from 10 states

While finals were ending and seniors were preparing for their last goodbyes at graduation, the Penn football team began a new era by announcing the incoming class of 2021. With 16 offensive players, 13 defensive players and a kicker, coach Ray Priore is addressing all sides of the ball with the new Quakers set to arrive in University City in August. The 30 new players represent 10 different states; Texas leads the way, producing eight of the newest members of the Red and Blue. New Jersey and Georgia are tied for second at five players, while California and Massachusetts round out the top five at three players a piece. “The opportunity to announce a new recruiting class is one of the best parts of a coach’s job,” said Priore in a statement on the Penn Athletics website. “It brings a refreshed sense of excitement knowing that these young men have chosen to spend the next four years as part of the Penn Football family and that they have recognized the tremendous commitment that exists between Penn and its student-athletes for not just their football careers but for the remainder of their lives.” Two of the new Quakers will be transferring in from other institutions. Defensive end David Ryslik will be arriving in Philly

THE PLACE FOR PENN ARTS, CULTURE, AND COMMENTARY

STREET’S RESIDENT SEXPERT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS

34TH STREET MAGAZINE Let’s get down to business.

If you were to describe Penn’s hookup culture, it would probably be “fucked up.” I mean this completely literally, as well as metaphorically. We either have serious relationships or casual sex. The casual nature of the Penn hook up culture can be challenging, but it’s also kinda sorta the best thing that could happen to someone. I’ve learned a lot about myself through my hookups—I’ve learned to love myself and my body, I’ve learned how to love another person, I’ve learned how to hate a person and I’ve also learned how to be okay with the concept of casual sex. I am the resident sexpert to all my friends, and yes, I am qualified(?) to write this column. Street asked you to submit your most pressing questions, and you guys have a lot of stuff going on. So, I’ve picked my favorites. Let’s talk about sex.

Where do I start if I want to spice things up and get kinkier in bed? Also, how do I bring it up with my partner? Take. It. Slow: Don’t 50 Shades it right away…if you do that, you’ll be turned off by toys and kink forever. It will leave a bad taste in your mouth (maybe literally?). Start with something small, like a blindfold. The key here is to not go out of your way to buy anything. Instead, you can use things you already have around your house. For example, try a T-shirt for a blindfold, a shoelace for handcuffs, etc. (ed. note: See this primer on kinky sex at Penn). I do not recommend walking into a sex shop before you’ve experimented. If you walk in there and you don’t know what you’re looking for, you’re going to be turned off (alternatively, you could walk in and realize this is your calling and you’re the next Christian Grey and then go home and paint your Radian room a bright red, get some leather and start your own

#PleasureChest. If you do this, call me). Talk to your partner: Just because you’re into trying to spice up your sex life doesn’t mean your partner is. It’s so important to make sure you are both on the same page, and want the same things. Make a list of things you want to try ASAP, things you know you don’t want to try, things you might want to try in the future, fantasies, etc. Obviously you both want a good sex life—but you and your partner might have different ideas of how to accomplish that. The most important thing about kinky sex is communication and consent. You MUST make sure you’re talking to your partner before, during and after. Plus, talking dirty is a great way to start. If you let your partner know what’s working and what’s not, I guarantee you’re going to have the best sex of your life. *** Stay tuned for more sex Q&A’s in the weeks to come!

Penn students don’t tend to have a lot of free time. And if they do, it’s probably spent sleeping. But during the summer, the introduction of new leisure time brings an opportunity to do something many of us haven’t done in years—read. Leisure reading is so hard during the school year. There’s the massive stacks of readings for classes, the problem sets and the allure of Netflix to shut it all out. But there’s something about reading a great book at the on your daily commute or at the beach that just seems right. Street is here to give you some books to pass the time and potentially impress your parents’ snooty friends. Submit your book club picks by emailing Annabelle Williams (agwill@wharton. upenn.edu) for a chance to be featured in Street. *** Recommendation: Valley of the Dolls Recommender: Annabelle Williams If you like: Da rk humor, the 1960s, prescription pill abuse (like, as a concept, not a lifestyle) or camp. Where to buy: Barnes & Noble, Amazon, vintage bookstores (it doesn’t hurt to call first and make sure they have a copy!) Last Word Bookshop on 40th is

a good bet. Valley of the Dolls topped the best–seller charts at the time of its release in 1966. It’s a decently long book, clocking in at 442 pages that fit three competing and inter t w i ne d n a r r at ive s , each centered around one woman. The book deftly explores drug culture and the toxicity of fame. It’s also notable for featuring three female protagonists a nd exploring fema le friendships and rivalries not just as caricatures or fights over men but as complex human stories. The rise–and–fall narrative is convincing if predictable, and the parallels to real–life stars work well and keep you guessing. It’s not the finest example of technical and creative writing (it was critically panned upon release); the book serves not so much as a literary work

but as a cultural artifact. The controversy surrounding the story coupled with how easy and gripping it is to read make it a great summer project. You can consider culturally or just take it at face value. Either way, it’s nothing if not memorable. *** But the movie kind of sucks: The movie starred Sharon Tate and garnered generally negative reviews (despite a later cult following). The adaptation, despite featuring fabulous costumes, glossed over the dark satire that gave the book its edge. Producers also fabricated a happy ending for a book that ends on a delightfully sinister note. Who needs a Hollywood ending any way? If you simply must stream it, it’s $2.99 on Amazon Video or Youtube.

MASTER OF NONE’S SEASON 2 IS BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL JESSICA LI Master of None may be the perfect millennial show. I’m just gonna go right out and say it: I unabashedly and wholeheartedly love this little Netflix show. The first season of Aziz Ansari’s semi-autobiographical show was a funny, insightful masterpiece, consisting of 10 episodes that dealt with topics like immigrant struggles, millennial dating, feminism, and more.

It was a realistic look into the lives of young adults struggling to come to terms with adulthood, portraying the fast-paced and diverse lifestyle of New York City. I knew it would be hard to live up to the expectations of Master of None’s incredible first season, but the second season

knocked it out of the park— it is bold, and ultimately, it is beautiful. In season 2, we begin with Dev (the main character portrayed by Ansari) in Italy, learning to make pasta in a quaint little town called Modena. The first episode is in all black-and-white, emulating

the classic Italian film Bicycle Thieves—there is an aura of artistry and playfulness that continues throughout the season. While he enjoys the simplicity of life in a small town and the consistent lifestyle of pasta-making, Dev still isn’t happy. The sense of restlessness, that there’s still something more in life, sustains itself from the first season, and moves Dev back to New York where he continues his adventures with his television career, friends, potential lovers, and an unexpected romantic prospect that sends his personal life reeling (can’t say anymore without spoiling!). Dev’s journey into finding himself and finding happiness is entertaining, but it may not even be my favorite part of Master of None’s second season. What I love about Master of None is that Ansari and Yang, the shows co-creators, are unafraid to make bold, artistic choices. The show ar-

rives and delivers such confidence and verve, each episode an almost-surreal experiment to achieve meaning and embrace life itself. In Episode 4, “First Date,” Dev goes on a series of first Tinder dates, the entire episode following one date but showcasing various women in each phase from drinks to dinner to the taxi ride home, emphasizing the craziness of modern dating. Episode 6, “New York, I Love You,” delves into the lives of different New Yorkers, from apartment doormen to deaf cashiers to taxi drivers. Their experiences ultimately intersect into Dev’s own life as the show focuses on the minute importance of every person’s life. Episode 8, Thanksgiving, focuses on Dev’s close friend Denise, the story building over many Thanksgivings over the years as her mother comes to terms with her coming out as a lesbian. There’s a subtle beauty and tenderness with the way

human life is portrayed. The experimentation and playfulness of each episode exudes out of the screen, and “Master of None” transcends just being a good TV show—it becomes a work of art. Though I cringe at the word “millennial,” as it’s often a misunderstood, overused way to describe our generation Master of None may be the perfect millennial show. Especially for college students standing at the precipice of adulthood, facing the “real world” is a scary and intimidating prospect. While Ansari’s show focuses on the lives of late-twenty/early-thirty somethings, the central themes of exploration of self and love are concepts that are especially resonant and relatable to us all. “Master of None’s” season 2 is a testament to fact that the journey of self-discovery never truly ends—and life, despite all its struggles, is one beautiful, crazy experiment.
