New College House opens, Hill closes for renovations

Whether it’s his attacks on Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, his stance on immigration or his daily media appearances from Trump Tower, everybody seems to be talking about Donald Trump.

That is, everyone but the Penn administration.

Trump could become the first Penn graduate elected to the country’s highest office. (William Henry Harrison studied medicine at Penn, but left after a short time). And although the 1968 Wharton graduate is the presumptive Republican nominee, consistently reminding voters he went to the Wharton School, higher-ups at Penn have kept quiet. President Amy Gutmann, Provost Vincent Price, Vice President for University Communications Stephen MacCarthy and spokespeople for Wharton have all declined to comment on any of The Daily Pennsylvanian’s questions about Trump — even about apolitical topics such as Trump’s past service to the University.

As has been reported by many news outlets, members of the Wharton faculty said they received an email from administrators asking them to refrain from talking to the press about

As Hill goes under the renovation knife, New College House for freshmen and Sansom West will be open as college houses to fill housing needs.

When a new freshman class arrives at Penn next fall, ready for a toga party, a night at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and whatever else New Student Orientation has in store, there will some big changes to campus housing.

Hill College House will be out of commission next year for some much needed renovations. This is great news for incoming freshmen fearing an assignment to the place The New York Times called a dorm “you’ll never see on the campus tour.”

However, Hill’s closure also means no Hill brunch, which is bad news for those in search of weekend morning blueberry pancakes.

Top ten coolest people to visit Penn this year JENNA WANG International Academy ‘15 Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Penn is a magnet for big names in almost every industry, from sports to academia, business to the arts. Here is a list of the top 10 coolest people to have visited Penn in the past academic year — and one or two stars that will be making their rounds in the next month.

Serena Williams Tennis star Serena Williams visited campus to speak to students on Nov. 4, 2015. The athlete was invited by Penn’s Social Planning and Events Committee to Represent Undergraduate

Minorities and SPEC Connaissance in an effort to bring diverse speakers to campus.

Williams, a six-time Wimbledon championship winner, talked for an hour in dialogue with a moderator at Irvine Auditorium and answered audience questions submitted through Twitter.

Students were able to secure $10 tickets for the event by lining up on Locust Walk or purchasing tickets online.

Caitlyn Jenner SPEC reeled in reality TV star and transgender icon Caitlyn Jenner to give a talk at Penn on Feb. 17, 2016. The decision to bring Jenner, who is seen by some to be controversial within the LGBTQ community, was questioned by some non-cisgender students.

Jenner conversed with Penn professor and longtime friend Buzz Bissinger in front of a packed audience in Irvine Auditorium, touching on topics such as gender, self identity and politics. Audience members had the opportunity to ask Jenner pre-selected questions.

Ben Bernanke Former Federal Reserve System Chairman Ben Bernanke came to Penn on April 13, 2016, to give a talk about contemporary economic issues, including economic crisis and how to rebuild the American economy.

Bernanke talked in discussion with Penn professor Jeremy Siegel at the Annenberg Center’s Zellerbach Theatre. Some audience members at the event received a complimentary copy of his new book, “The Courage to Act,” which detailed Bernanke’s response to the 2008 global financial crisis.

Pope Francis OK, so the Pope wasn’t exactly here just for Penn. But His Holiness did come to Philadelphia as part of the World Meeting of Families 2015 celebration. Sections of campus were blocked off from traffic in anticipation of his arrival, and the city was flooded with Sunday Mass attendees and other spectators over the weekend.

ONE OF THE AREA’S MOST COMPLETE LOCK SERVICES

The Daily Show In anticipation for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, The Daily Show will be taping a week’s worth of episodes right at the heart of campus. Trevor Noah and his team will set up shop at the Annenberg Center from July 26 to July 29, and the episodes will be broadcasting on Comedy Central at 11 p.m. each night.

Penn students have special access to audience tickets through a lottery, which is raffling 200 seats per night online.

Joe Biden The Vice President of the United States visited Penn on Jan. 15, 2016 to promote cancer research after the death of his son and 1991 College graduate Beau Biden.

Speaking alongside Penn President Amy Gutmann, Biden launched an initiative to investigate cures for cancer at the Abramson Cancer Center. Biden talked about his own family’s experience with dealing with the disease, and he emphasized the growing importance of utilizing technology to navigate scientific breakthroughs.

students in a Huntsman Hall auditorium about conformity, art and achievement.

Diaz isn’t the only Pulitzer Prize winning author to visit Penn this year. Viet Thanh Nguyen, the recipient of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, casually dropped into a Penn English class on April 22 to discuss his novel “The Sympathizer” with students.

While Hill’s closure is sure to draw mixed emotions, the most noticeable change will be right next door with the addition of the New College House. First envisioned in the late 1990s as a four-year residential program similar to Du Bois , Gregory and Stouffer, the New College House will house 340 freshmen to compensate for Hill’s closure.

Sansom West, typically an upperclassmen and graduate dorm, will become a college house this year and serve as a dorm for some freshmen.

The New College House will offer suite style housing for three to six students per room. Each room will also include either one or two private bathrooms and a furnished living room with couches and a

Executive Director of Business Services Doug Berger said student input was a driving factor in the decision to build a suite-style dorm.

“We did a lot of student research and listening to what other schools are building,” Berger said.

Berger also noted that every room in New College House will offer “its own personality” with no two rooms being exactly the same.

The newly minted college house will also have lounges on each floor, communal kitchens, multimedia rooms and a courtyard.

New College House will even have a 175-seat dining hall located under a “lifted lawn walkway,” so students aimlessly searching for Hill brunch won’t have to walk far.

Everything you need to know about local politics at Penn

Democrats dominate the composition of City Hall

Whether you’re a Philadelphia native or new to the city, here are the figures to know in local and statewide politics:

an at-large City Council seat for 23 years before launching his campaign for mayor in 2015.

He won the Democratic primary on May 19, 2015 with 55.83 percent of the vote by building a diverse coalition of supporters across the city. In November 2015, he went on to defeat Republican candidate Melissa Murray Bailey with 85.1 percent of the vote.

Mayor Jim Kenney A former instructor at the Fels Institute of Government, Kenney assumed office on January 4, 2016.

He is a member of the Democratic Party, as are well over 75 percent of registered voters in Philadelphia, and previously held

Philadelphia City Council The City Council is the legislative arm of Philadelphia’s government composed of 17 members, 10 of which are elected by district and the remaining seven elected at-large. It is currently presided over by Democrat Darrell

LUIS FERRE SADURNI San Ignacio de Loyola ‘13 San Juan, Puerto Rico

L. Clarke, who has held a seat in Council since 1999.

The Council is currently composed of 14 Democrats and three Republicans. Council members are elected every four years, with no limit on the number of years that may be served.

What Mayor Kenney and the City Council are Working On On March 3, during a budget address, Kenney proposed a three cents per ounce soda tax, which would only apply to sugary drinks and exclude diet drinks. The tax, currently being considered in the City Council and possibly going to a vote in early June, has sparked controversy nationwide.

Critics have argued for its potential detrimental effects on the poorer populations of the city, while advocates have pointed out the need for the tax’s additional revenue to fund pre-K education in the city. Such a tax has previously failed to pass twice in Philadelphia and the only one of its kind in the country was passed in Berkeley, Calif.

Race for the 2nd Congressional District Penn’s campus forms part of Pennsylvania’s 2nd Congressional District, which has been occupied by a Democrat since 1949. 1986 Fels graduate Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.) has been the incumbent

for the past 22 years, but failed to secure the Democratic nomination after losing in the party primary race on April 26.

On July 29, 2015, Fattah received a 29-count indictment for bribery, corruption and racketeering. His ongoing trial opened the field for fellow Democrats to challenge him in the most recent primary, where state Rep. Dwight Evans won with 42.20 percent of the vote. Evans, who is expected to assume the seat after November’s general election, will face Republican James Jones.

Gov. Tom Wolf Wolf, a member of the Democratic party, has served since January 2015 after ousting

incumbent Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in the 2014 gubernatorial election with 54.93 percent of the vote.

As governor, Wolf has often clashed with the Republican controlled state General Assembly.

Most recently, the governor and state legislators incurred a budget impasse that lasted about nine months, the longest in the state’s history.

Wolf reluctantly accepted the Assembly’s proposed budget in March to avoid the defunding of schools across the state. In early April, the governor and state legislature began working on the 2016-17 budget for the year that begins on July 1.

OPINION What is Penn pride?

REID ABOUT IT! | What it means to have school spirit

College acceptance has always been tied to pride, whether it be personal or school- oriented. The acceptance email for Penn is delivered in an unshakably triumphant Quaker fight song, heralding the shedding of new skin, ushering in a community that will soon be yours. It formed the ethos of what Penn meant for me as a high school senior: fighting through hard times and eventually being where you were meant to be. The trumpets’ melody signals pride for a school that is, fundamentally, akin to you.

But it is so easy to become overwhelmed and frustrated by the culturally or institutionally- driven problems of Penn. After the first couple of months, you start cherry picking your favorite reasons to complain: the bureaucratic processes, the culture of Wharton pre-professionalism, the perfectionism, racist fraternities, fat paychecks and unforgiving student loans. From health code violations in dining halls, to

insanely high administrative salaries, Penn lets you down. Letdowns eventually lead to a lot of doubt and questioning, which leads to a detachment, further exacerbated by the illusory notion that pride meant anything.

Speaking honestly, there is no unifying, campuswide sense of Penn pride.

Once in a while, you might to go a homecoming game — and wear your Puck Frinceton shirt for a week afterwards — or you might see your friends on the Ivy League Snapchat.

Maybe you’ll squeal delightfully because that felt like you were participating in a unified culture. Penn pride had its novelty for a while, but it slowly faded as I got introduced to institutional and cultural flaws.

As an international student, I had a lot of paranoia about how my Vietnamese upbringing would exclude me from certain factions of Penn culture. For a while I felt excluded because certain spaces felt white– washed, and some minor-

ity communities felt too close- knit to break into.

Penn pride was simply not realistic; I couldn’t find a way to match the brochure– inspired expectations of community.

But the flaws are just buzzwords that sometimes hide something fundamental: As you grow older, the world just gets bigger.

Growing up will happen

every little problem would resolve itself like a half hour sitcom special. The hopeless idealism that Penn culture could be condensed into a simple word, refrain or fight song.

Penn pride is not about having faith in the institution to support you, it’s about having faith in the people that the institution brings. Penn gives you a

So many of my problems emerged directly as a product of learning and growing.

If I think about it, Penn pride grows out of a place of hopeless idealism. It is a naive idealism about life in general; the hope that

community that isn’t built institutionally, but through your own personal choices.

Penn pride meant that while I saw flaws with the system and the culture, I still choose to go here, because the community I’ve built for myself has been so strong in developing the pride I have for Penn as a

community.

Penn pride is not about wearing the Penn gear, showing up to the right events and athletic games, nor is it about finding and knowing the right people.

Individuals create the pride for school culture when they individually look to improve the school in your small ways. It’s learning to love the people you’re with.

It’s about appreciating that every person here, no matter how small their influence is, shapes a different kind of Penn for every other person. The people you learn from, whether they be peers or professors or the understanding Wawa cashier that held your hands that drunken Friday night, will be the foundation of the pride you feel for where you are.

Penn pride develops out of a place of deep love, but for different reasons.

It is nurtured by the love you have for the individuals you choose to surround yourself with. When you consciously decide that you belong, you determine that

AMANDA REID pride develops from a place of personal acceptance and awareness of others around you.

What I learned about pride is that you will constantly be disappointed by the community you seek to belong to. Learning to accept those flaws pushes you to work for the pride you feel. If you choose to love, nurture and accept the community of individuals you choose for yourself, you know what pride means.

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in an artificially created world, as if I’m part of some big social experiment I don’t quite understand.

The more time I spend in college, the more I’m convinced that it is its own microcosm with its own set of unique societal structures and conditions. Where else in the world can you live almost exclusively with 10,000 other people around your same age? When else in your life do you inhabit that strange gray area, somewhere on the spectrum from child to adult, where you are beginning to assert your independence but are still provided for and protected from real risk in so many ways?

It’s easy to think of college as the place you go to grow up. In college, you stop saying “I want to be an astronaut when I grow up” and start saying “I have an internship at NASA this summer.” But where, exactly, does that cutoff lie? Is it really so instantaneous, the

transition from growing up to grown up?

College students want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. They want to leave their childhood behind with their first step on Locust Walk. They want to distance themselves from parental concerns, from the restrictions of childhood. In an effort to not appear naive or innocent in front of their peers, they go out of their way to become jaded as fast as they can. Because at least if you’re jaded, you understand what the world’s about. You know how it works. You’ve seen it all.

You’re an adult.

We can afford to think of ourselves as adults because we don’t have anyone to tell us we aren’t. We buy into the illusion that we are independent entities, answerable to no one. Yet we live in an environment where almost everything we need is within our reach: food, housing, health care, technology, gyms, counseling services and security. We occupy a

four- to five-block radius oozing convenience, and we think this is emblematic of adult life.

It is precisely because of this security so uncharacteristic of adulthood that we have the freedom to act the way we do. One of my most vivid memories from fresh-

rerun they’d already seen a million times — had memorized the plot, already knew the finale. Students jostling at the door, desperate for a nod of approval from another student on an ego trip. Voluntarily walking to places where they might drink enough to black out or

of those that came before us. And thus we acquiesce to the system. We transition from hopscotch to beer pong. Conga lines to twerking. Are we adults yet? Isn’t this what adults do?

I am well aware of the frequently-made argument that college is the best time for experimentation. It’s not necessarily untrue. But it is also a situation where one of Newton’s laws is actually applicable: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Adulthood is not about taking shots at some party. Adulthood is about realizing that everything in life has consequences. Adulthood is about not always being able to have the freedom to do what you want. This is not some heavy-handed fatalist doctrine, but rather what it means to be accountable to and responsible for yourself.

Yet I can’t help but feel that this mindset is based off of an inherently juvenile perception of maturity.

The definitive guide to picking your class schedule at Penn Learn how to fulfill requirements and have fun JINAH KIM Carnegie Vanguard High School ‘14 Houston, Tx.

Choosing classes may seem overwhelming — especially when it’s your first time. Students have hundreds of options to choose from — ranging from massive, auditorium-filling lectures to smaller, more interactive seminars. Some of those classes are easy to get into, while others take both planning and a good deal of luck.

Here are six things for new students to keep in mind when registering for courses: How do I know what classes to take?

1. Keep your options open.

Some students enter college with a clear idea of their intended major, but many are unsure about what they’re hoping to study — and even those students who arrive on campus with a major already picked out often end up changing their mind over the next four years. Don’t think you need to fill up your first semester with all the introductory courses you need for your major; look up classes on topics you may have thought were interesting but never considered seriously studying.

2. Keep your graduation requirements in mind.

At the same time, you want to make sure you’re laying a solid foundation for the rest of your academic career. Many freshmen opt to take the mandatory writing seminar in their first or second semester, both getting a graduation requirement out of the way and learning skills that may prove useful in their other classes. Each of Penn’s undergraduate schools also has its own set of graduation and general education requirements; visit their websites for their specific requirements and lists of courses that fulfill them.

3. Check the reviews for classes and professors.

The student-run website Penn Course Review compiles end-ofcourse evaluations to rate courses on course quality, instructor quality and difficulty, as well as more specific areas like value of readings or instructor accessibility. If you’re trying to decide whether or not you want to take a course, take a look at its ratings on Penn Course Review — even for intro STEM courses that generally get low rankings across the board, the site can tell you what instructors to aim for or avoid.

How do you get the schedule you want?

1. Use PennInTouch.

Course requests are only evaluated at the end of the advance registration period; you don’t need to worry that a late decision will ruin your chances of getting into a class.

Until then, the mock schedules you can build on the website can help you see how different classes will fit together. Experiment with different combinations to see what classes give you both the content and schedule you want for your first semester.

2. Prioritize classes that are hard to get into.

This seems pretty intuitive: List smaller classes and seminars higher up in your requests.

Courses that are larger but

highly-rated may also be difficult to get into. Listing your top few choices as alternates for each other can help ensure that you get into at least some of the classes that you request.

Many lecture classes also require an accompanying recitation: a smaller, teaching assistant-led class where students may discuss the lecture or take quizzes. Recitations, though smaller, aren’t necessarily harder to get into; most classes offer several different sections, so if multiple sections fit into your schedule, consider prioritizing other classes above recitation sections.

3. Don’t get too stressed if you don’t get into a class.

Courses often fluctuate as people finalize their schedules; once someone drops a closed class, it becomes open for registration again for a brief period of time. The website Penn Course Notify lets students sign up to be notified when specific classes open; keep in mind that you cannot register for more classes than your credit limit permits, so you may need to drop another course in order to register for one that has just opened up.

Alternatively, this is where having multiple mock schedules can come in handy: Even if you didn’t get into one class you wanted, there might be others that work just as well with your plans and interests.

Everything you need to know about Penn’s dorms From the historic Quad to the New College House SOPHIA LEPORTE Marin School for Environmental Leadership ‘15 San Rafael, Calif.

From the historic, decorated Quad to the brand new College House opening this fall, Penn offers a variety of living options.

New College House The New College House will be located on 34th and Chestnut streets, next to Hill College House, which will be closed in the fall for renovations. The dorms in this

house will be suite style with seasonally air-conditioned rooms. All students living in the new house will be first-year students this year, but this will likely change in the future when Hill reopens.

For now, though, the New College House is the hotspot for incoming freshmen.

The Quadrangle Built in 1895, the Quad runs along Spruce Street. The Quad’s picturesque architecture has made it a well-known part of Penn’s campus and a common favorite for Penn freshman.

The building is home to three College Houses: Fisher

Hassenfield, Ware and Riepe.

The Quad has some great location perks: It’s close to several of Penn’s buildings where freshmen often have classes, and during the week popular food trucks line up outside the Quad on Spruce Street.

The Quad also features McClelland Dining Hall, a dining center in which students can use their dining dollars or meal swipes.

Inside the building, the halls are sometimes oddly shaped and a bit confusing, but the rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, a definite plus.

High Rises The high rises — Harnwell, Harrison and Rodin — tower over Locust Walk just past 38th Street. The rooms are all suite style and most students that live there are upperclassmen, but some residential programs offer spots in the high rises to freshmen too.

Having a high rise room as a freshman might be off-putting since there are not many other freshmen around, but can be useful — anyone living there has an advantage when selecting rooms for the following year.

Kings Court English College House Kings Court English College House — also known as KCHECH — is located on Sansom Street.

Though this College House is a little further from campus, its location has some benefits: it faces a series of restaurants, including popular brunch spot White Dog Café.

It’s also right next to Penn Law School, so KCHECH residents often use the quiet law library.

The House is divided into two different buildings, English House and Kings Court, connected by a courtyard. The House has its own dining hall and constantly holds events like study breaks, which often include a lot of free food. The typical room size in KCHECH is significantly larger than in the other dorms, but the rooms do lack air-conditioning.

Stouffer College House and Du Bois College House Both of these college houses are a little bit smaller than most houses and are four-year communities.

Stouffer is located right next to the Quad on Spruce, and is split into two buildings: Stouffer Hall and

Penn’s campus offers a variety of living styles with its dorm options, ranging from the historic Quad to the newly-built New College House.

Mayer Hall. Mayer has apartment style rooms while Stouffer Hall has dormitories. Du Bois is near the high rise fields close to Walnut. It has dorm-style rooms and houses about 160 students.

Gregory College House Gregory is located past the high

rises on the corner of 40th and Spruce streets. The house holds students from all four years, but half of the residents are first-year students. Rooms vary between quads, triples, doubles and singles, and the facilities also include a yoga room, a film screening room and a greenhouse.

WHO’S WHO AT PENN

AMY GUTMANN PRESIDENT

VINCENT PRICE PROVOST

DENNIS DETURK COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES DEAN

ANTONIA VILLARRUEL

NURSING DEAN

When former Provost Ron Daniels stepped down in March 2009 to serve as president of Johns Hopkins University, then-Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs Vincent Price took the reins as University interim provost until he was named provost in May 2013. He is the Steven H. Chaffee professor of communication in the Annenberg School for Communication and professor of political science in the School of Arts and Sciences.

As provost, Price oversees student and academic affairs at the University, including education, research, faculty affairs and student life. Price has published extensively on mass communication and public opinion, social influence processes and political communication. He has written a book, entitled “Public Opinion,” and he is the former editor-in-chief of “Public Opinion Quarterly,” the leading journal of public opinion research.

Since taking the helm of Penn’s largest undergraduate school in January 2006, mathematics professor Dennis DeTurck has been busy monitoring the College’s recent curricular adjustments. The Belmar, N.J. native implemented a new curriculum for the Class of 2010. He was also influential in pushing for the Cultural Diversity in the U.S. requirement, which mandates courses on different cultures for the Class of 2012 and beyond.

He has already implemented various College initiatives, including the College Alumni Mentoring Series, which brings notable alumni back to campus to talk careers with undergraduates. Under his watch, a variety of new College minors were introduced, including jazz studies, consumer psychology and international development.

Appointed two years ago as the new dean of Penn’s School of Nursing, Antonia Villarruel was previously the associate dean for research and global affairs at the University of Michigan School of Nursing. Villarruel is no stranger to Penn Nursing — she taught at the Nursing School between 1995 and 2000 and has written books with several Penn faculty members. Villarruel has spent years building and maintaining a research program around interventions for Latino, Mexican and Puerto Rican populations, with a particular focus on reducing sexual risk among Latino adolescents.

Her work has been recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of Adolescent Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

After 11 years here as University president, Amy Gutmann has come a long way in furthering policies she believes to be important. The former Princeton University provost and political philosophy scholar has focused her presidency on three main goals, outlined in the Penn Compact, which she unveiled at her inauguration in 2004.

Gutmann continues to promote diverse background in the student body. She has been at the forefront of social issues nation- and campus-wide. She released a video for the It Gets Better Project to prevent suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.

At the national level, Gutmann — as the chairwoman of President Barack Obama’s Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues — put out a report on the ethical use of emerging synthetic biologies, which she said would not require new legislation.

Gutmann was also named to the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences, along with Communications professor and Annenberg Public Policy Center director Kathleen Hall Jamieson.

Gutmann is boosting the University’s global image as well. She delivered the prestigious annual lecture of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in London last March. She also attended the five-day World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Finally, she has kept the school financially secure. Under Gutmann’s leadership, the University’s endowment has remained stable despite the economic downturn.

STEVE FLUHARTY SCHOOL OF ARTS & SCIENCES DEAN

GEOFFREY GARETT WHARTON DEAN

VIJAY KUMAR

ENGINEERING DEAN

Although Steven Fluharty assumed his role as dean of the School of Arts and Sciences on July 1, 2013, his relationship with Penn began nearly 30 years earlier, when he entered the College of Arts and Sciences as a freshman. Fluharty received all three of his degrees — a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1979 and master’s degree and doctorate in psychobiology in 1979 and 1981, respectively — from Penn.

Fluharty has been a member of Penn’s faculty since 1986, holding positions in the Psychology Department of the College of Arts and Sciences and in Pharmacology in the School of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Animal Biology.

Unlike his direct three predecessors, Geoffrey Garrett does not have a degree in business or economics. Appointed last year, the former Fulbright scholar completed his master’s degree and doctorate in political science at Duke University and his bachelor’s degree in the same subject at the Australian National University.

Previously a dean and professor of business at the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales, he served as an associate professor at the Wharton School in 1995-97, teaching multinational management. Wharton professors have noted that Garrett’s international and interdisciplinary background makes him a good choice to lead the school in a rapidly changing society.

School of Engineering and Applied Science professor and robotics researcher Vijay Kumar served his first year as dean of the Engineering School this year. Kumar held several positions in the Engineering school prior to his term as dean, including director of the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception Lab and chair of the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics Department.

Kumar is world-renowned for his work on the development of autonomous robots and biologically inspired algorithms for collective behavior. He is the author of more than 400 papers and more than 20 books and book chapters and has received numerous honors and awards for his research and teaching.

Five letters from seniors to their freshman selves Letters were from “Dear Penn Freshman” project

offering retrospective advice.

The website was born in management professorAdam Grant’s fall 2015 “Organizational Behavior” class. McCann and her classmates wanted to help improve the Penn campus culture and break the stigma of “Penn Face,” a tendency of Penn students to project the illusion of a perfect life even when they are struggling.

McCann shared excerpts from her five favorite letters with The Daily Pennsylvanian:

SHOBA BABU Central High School ‘14 Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Penn Freshman, “Freshman year can be tough.

Trust us — we were there. But we want to help. Let us know how we can … Just keep swimming,” Wharton senior Lauren McCann wrote, introducing Dear Penn Freshmen.

The online project provides a canvas for students to publish letters to their freshman selves, detailing all sorts of questions, struggles and triumphs they’ve experienced and

The World is Greater than Yourself by Bryan C. “The world is greater than yourself – Always remember that there is

so much more than yourself so think big and think long-term.”

Bryan’s letter emphasizes that it’s easy for students to get caught up in their lives and forget to think about the larger picture — life is too short to not take risks and to live with regrets. He discusses how it’s easy to feel invincible in college and how students should always remember to take care of themselves, accept their failures and not be overcome by them and to learn to build strong connections with the community and the people around you.

“Senior You” is still Just as Confused by Galit K. “Never forget to love yourself and take time for self care...Be confused.

Trust your decisions and feelings, because you are a human and you are valid.”

From discussing dyeing her hair six times — though she never colored it before college — to changing majors and finding her own crew, Galit chronicles how vastly different her life is from what she predicted it would be before arriving at Penn.

She talks about how Penn gives you the chance to discover to who you are and says that even though you’ll face failures and struggles — like club rejections, grades and some oncampus recruiting attempts — it’s important to be strong and confident because in time, things do get better.

Don’t Transfer by Mikaela G. “You have so much ahead of you, and you’re going to fall so deeply in love with people and things that I can’t wait for you to discover. You’re going to feel pain more acutely than you ever thought possible, and you’re going to learn that you’re so much more resilient than you gave yourself credit for.”

As a freshman, Mikaela wondered whether coming to Penn was the right choice. It was nearly 3,000 miles from home, and she was afraid and confused. She even considered transferring — but she held on. Mikaela’s article talks about how it’s ok to feel scared, confused and upset — a lot of other students are too, even though they don’t

show it. Penn is a place where you can reach new heights, and while adjusting can be difficult at first if you give yourself time, you’ll build your own niche here. You’ll also inevitably face struggles, but they make you stronger and allow you to appreciate your victories even more.

No Silver Bullets by Bobby L. “There are no silver bullets. In your efforts to become a better person, are you focusing on immediate or long-term changes? Quick fixes, aka band-aids to problems, are easily undone, and don’t heal the sores they temporarily covered.

Meaningful, lasting change within you will probably happen slowly.

Be patient. Develop your principles.

Build character.”

It’s easy to fall into the pursuit of perfection in a competitive environment like Penn but improving yourself is a process that doesn’t happen overnight. Bobby, like other students, found himself wondering how to find a community of his own, thinking about if he deserved to be here and comparing himself

to others. However, he gradually realized that personal fulfillment involves committing yourself to what you are passionate about and focusing on being present instead of focusing on others.

Cherish Everything by Vid M. “Spend the next four years with an open mind...Don’t try to find yourself—there is no one college formula. Find out how to find yourself, and set yourself on a path towards self-awareness and personal development.”

Success is something you define on your own terms. There is no need to compare yourself to others — your worth does not depend on how your accomplishments stack up to those around you. Vid’s letter says you define what success is and that definition is something flexible that can change every day. In addition, he says that the college journey isn’t something you travel alone. He talks about forming strong bonds with the people around you — friends, family, professors, etc. — and creating a support system for yourself.

TRUMP

>> PAGE A1

Trump. While this hasn’t stopped professors from speaking out, it does highlight that the University is trying to avoid the Trump spotlight.

In an effort to establish a more detailed look at how “The Donald” has interacted with his alma mater over the years, the DP sifted through its newspaper archives and other Penn resources. Here’s a timeline of the relationship Trump has had with Penn as a student, as an alumnus and as a parent.

1966: After two years at Fordham University, Trump transfers to Penn to attend what was then known as The Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. It has been widely reported that Trump did not have anywhere near as much of a presence on campus as one would expect. In August, the DP spoke to 13 members of Trump’s graduating class, and only one knew him: 1968 Wharton graduate Ted Sachs. Sachs said he knew Trump from one of his finance classes, though the two lost touch shortly after graduating.

“I liked him. I thought he was a really nice low-key guy,” Sachs said. “He was very self effacing — he never talked about himself.”

Sachs expressed his surprise several years later when he saw

Trump emerge as a very public figure in the business world. But, in hindsight, he says it certainly makes sense.

“He sort of had a magnetism about himself. He knew where he was going — that was clear,” Sachs said. “Looking back, I had that sense: he knew something at that age that I didn’t.”

1968: Trump graduates from Wharton with a concentration in real estate. There are mixed reports on his academic standing. Some have reported that Trump graduated at the top of his class, while others have said he received no honors at all.

1983: The Wharton Real Estate Center (now the Samuel Zell and Robert Lurie Real Estate Center) is established with Trump as one of the 100 founding members.

1984: Trump is named Wharton Entrepreneur of the Year and speaks on campus while accepting his award. He recalled his experiences as a Penn student and explained that he “always will” donate to Wharton.

1987: The University Board of Trustees appoints Trump to a threeyear term on Wharton’s Board of Overseers. A few months later, a DP article was perhaps the first to ask why Trump — who loves to put his name on anything he touches — did not have his name anywhere

CARSON KAHOE | PHOTO MANAGER

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump graduated from Penn in 1968, yet he has left little mark on the University itself since then.

at Penn. A spokesperson for the Development Office at the time told the DP that Trump had “not been a leading contributor” to the University. One administrator indicated that Trump had given over $10,000 to Penn, but would not disclose the exact amount. Still, the article quoted several administrators who openly questioned why the billionaire hadn’t provided more financial support and expressed hope that after joining Wharton’s Board of Overseers, he might be more inclined to make a more significant donation.

1990: Trump’s term on the Wharton Board of Overseers

expires. Minutes from the Board of Trustees meetings that year do not indicate that he was reappointed.

1991: Trump’s photo is stolen from Wharton’s Hall of Fame that once stood in Steinberg-Dietrich Hall. According to a report by the DP on the theft, “The portraits, selected by Wharton undergraduates and graduates, honor Wharton alumni who have benefited the community.” Among the few honored alongside Trump were Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, Jon Huntsman Sr. and Michael Milken. (Milken’s portrait had previously been stolen and replaced — and later removed

by administrators in 1990 after he pleaded guilty to six felony charges.)

1993: In honor of their 25th reunion, Penn’s Class of 1968 endows the Class of ‘68 Reference Center at Van Pelt Library. A plaque hanging in the library recognizing 34 lead donors for the project does not include Trump’s name.

2000: Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s oldest son (now an executive vice president at The Trump Organization), graduates from Wharton with concentrations in marketing and real estate.

2003: The Class of 1968 again makes a donation to Van Pelt, this time to mark their 35th reunion.

The plaque in the Class of 1968 Seminar Room recognizing the lead donors for this gift does include Trump.

2004: Ivanka Trump, Trump’s second-born (also an executive vice president at The Trump Organization), graduates from Wharton with a concentration in real estate.

2007: To celebrate Wharton’s 125th anniversary, Wharton Alumni Magazine names the school’s 125 most influential people, including Trump, who they called “The Best Known Brand Name in Real Estate.”

“It would be difficult to find a more ubiquitous public business figure of the late 20th and early 21st

centuries than Donald Trump,” the magazine asserted. The profile on Trump, however, did not at all mention his relationship with the University beyond the fact that he graduated in 1968.

2014: Trump is one of the “leading alumni” honored by the Wharton Club of Washington, D.C., at the club’s annual Joseph Wharton Awards Dinner.

2015: After launching his campaign for the Republican nomination for president of the United States, Trump consistently mentions Wharton in speeches and interviews, putting the spotlight on Penn.

“I went to the Wharton School of Finance, the toughest place to get into. I was a great student,” he told NBC’s Chuck Todd in August.

“I went to the Wharton School of Finance. I was an excellent student. I’m a smart person,” he said to CNN’s Jake Tapper.

When Trump brought up Wharton again to Chuck Todd in a later interview, Todd questioned why the candidate always needs to remind everyone about the school.

“They know it’s a great business school,” Trump answered.

2016: Current senior Tiffany Trump, Trump’s fourth child, will graduate from the College of Arts and Sciences. Trump will attend the graduation.

PRESS ON: 24 HOURS ON A JUICE CLEANSE BY: CHLOE SHAKIN

Juice cleanse: two words I never imagined would be in my personal vocabulary. I always thought juice cleanses were unhealthy (and expensive) shortcuts to temporary weight loss. So you can imagine my dismay when I found myself staring at the assortment of overpriced, jelly bean–colored cold–pressed juices at Sip–n– Glo Juicery in Rittenhouse. I really like food; I get anxiety if it’s been too long since my last meal. I literally pack a lunchbox for my Tuesday evening seminar every week. But after eating my body weight in quesadillas over spring break and taking too much medication for an ulcer and Strep throat, my body needed some real TLC, something that went beyond just another hot yoga class. So I reluctantly coughed up $50 for the six juices included in a one–day cleanse. Here’s how my day went: 12:00 a.m.: Reluctantly stop rapidly consuming everything in my kitchen. My reasoning is: eat everything in sight because I’ll be only drinking liquids

tomorrow. Pretty rational, if you ask me.

7:00 a.m.– 8:30 a.m.: Rep eat e d ly h it snooze a nd already violate Sip –n– Glo’s suggestion to “awaken my digestive system” with a cup of hot lemon water.

8:37 a.m.: Remember that I signed up for a barre class (light exercise is condoned on the cleanse, as long as the juices are re–ordered). Make a to–go–cup of hot green tea and hop in a cab downtown.

10:47 a.m.: En route back to my house with my first juice of the day: a replacement for the vanilla chia pump–up that came in the package (I realized it had almond milk, which I’m allergic to, so the nice dude at Sip–n–Glo replicated the drink (almond milk, vanilla protein, cinnamon, chia seeds) but substituted coconut water for almond milk. It’s delicious, refreshing and–I cannot believe I’m saying this–honestly filling. I need to savor this one.

11:40 a.m.: I leave for my four classes armed with a giant bag filled with bottles of water,

a lunchbox full of juice and healthy snacks (cashews: s/o for being the only nut I’m not allergic to) in case I throw in the towel.

12:15 p.m.: I make it to my mind–numbingly boring Geology lecture. Stomach starting to rumble.

12:23 p.m: The pamphlet orders one glass of water to be consumed per juice. Really really really need to pee.

12:30 p.m.: Time for my second juice of day, the Green Beast: cucumber, apple, spinach, kale, celery, lemon and ginger. It tastes nice.

1:32 p.m.: Still working on the Green Beast. Feeling a little nauseous, especially after running to get to class on time.

2:36 p.m.: Next up is a bright orange juice called the Radiant Glo: carrot, orange, peach hibiscus tea, pineapple, turmeric and lemon. I want to mix this with tequila and lay on a beach.

2:38 p.m.: This juice has a slight ca r rot a fter taste.

Kind of okay with it, maybe will substitute Malibu for the

a forementioned tequila to mask it. V serious about beach plan.

4:01 p.m.: Talking about animal slaughterhouses and look ing at graphic images of animal carcasses in class brief ly quiets my growling stomach.

4:33 p.m.: I made it through four–and–a–half hours of class without coffee! I’m kind of hungry but don’t feel too weak.

My mental clarity isn’t too bad, either. Feeling on top of the world.

4:35 p.m.: Th ree juices down, three to go. I crack open número cuatro, the One Love: cucumber, apple, pineapple, spinach and ginger. Good, but by the end of it I kind of had enough of the ginger f lavor (strongest ginger yet).

8:43 p.m.: Juice number five was the scariest–looking of the bunch: Pineapple–Goji Lemon–Aid (pineapple, lemon, Goji, water and charcoal. Yes. Actually charcoal. The drink was blacker than night). It tasted like tart lemonade with a hint of Manischewitz. The

charcoal made my mouth and nose black and no one told me, which was unfortunate but also typical.

9:00 p.m.: Clean Green is the last (wo)man standing: cucumber, ka le, da ndelion greens, swiss chard, parsley and chlorophyll.

9:01 p.m.: Very glad they decided to list this shit last or else I would have called it quits long ago. This tastes like the earth in the worst way possible.

9:37 p.m.: I’m hungry and a little tired. Satisfied, though, not starving. My stomach has ceased its cries. I feel good. I could easily eat now but I’m also okay.

To summarize: Despite some moments of hunger and resentment for the liquid form of matter, this juice cleanse definitely served its purpose.

My fatigue, prolonged stomachaches and sluggishness were pretty much gone the next day. I did return to eating cheese almost immediately, though. Everything in moderation!

If you’re considering a juice cleanse: – Do some research to avoid the whole running–downtown– to–exchange–juices–because– you–realize–you’re–allergic– to–one scenario I got myself into.

– Make sure you’re well– rested: no coffee for 24 hours is debatably more difficult than the whole no solid foods thing – EAT if you feel like you need something!

– K now your body! Attempting a three–day cleanse is something I knew I was not down for.

– Understand why you’re doing th is. A ny resulting weight loss is likely water weight, which will come back on when you resume a normal diet. In my (unprofessional) opinion, a juice cleanse can be used more effectively to flush out toxins if you’ve been feeling kind of bleh for a while.

– Make sure you plan your c e l e b r a t o r y p o s t – cl e a n s e meals. If you live under a rock and haven’t already, check out our Spring 2016 Dining Guide.

WORD ON THE STREET

HERE’S TO NEVER GROWING UP

When I was in fourth grade, my favorite dinner table topic was “my future.” To the dismay of my older brother, I was obsessed with talking about every aspect of my assuredly–glorious life—my lucrative career as an ice cream truck driver, my husband, my kids, my dogs and my miniature pot–bellied pig. If the ice cream truck thing didn’t work out, I could always just open a bakery (still the plan). Any residual indecision could easily be resolved, of course, with the game MASH, which seemed to be the authority on the future anyway.

Ask me what I want to do with my life today, and I’ll give you a quizzical stare.

As it turns out, I don’t want to adult. I don’t want to worry about my laundry, my dishes, my taxes or my career. I don’t know what a 401(k) is (sorry, Penn). Sometimes I don’t shower for three days (sorry, room ies). My signature is

different every time I draw it (sorry, HubBub). It’s all very professional. As the clock ticks on the time bomb that is real life, I often feel like my fourth–grade self would be more prepared for the world than current me.

Last summer, I practiced adulting. I moved out of Penn dorms, started a real internship, fostered three tiny kittens and occasionally put on lipstick. I was also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a harsh reality which, in conjunction with the three cats, left me feeling closer to 80 years old than 20.

A lifelong autoimmune disease was, unfortunately, not outlined in the fourth–grade plan. Suddenly, my wrists were sore, my heels in pain and my knees achy. I couldn’t fasten my bra strap because my fingers were so swollen—I was back to the classic clipping in front and scooting it around

method (popular in both seventh grade and on hungover mornings). Sandals would no longer cut it for the walk home from work. My Google search for “cute and orthotic–friendly shoes” yielded no results.

On one hand, arthritis was a reality check that it was really time to be an adult—to start prioritizing my health and taking care of myself. On the other (swollen, stiff ) hand, nothing has ever left me feeling so clueless and childish.

My low point arrived in the waiting room of the lab one day in July, as I was waiting to have blood drawn to check up on severe anemia. “Do you have blood in your stools?”

My doctor had asked minutes before, puzzled over my dropping hemoglobin levels.

I smirked and shook my head that, no, I was not pooping blood. She sent me to the lab anyway, where for a moment, my frustration overcame me.

That afternoon, I bit back tears. I was exhausted from work, from cleaning up kitten puke, from medical uncertainty. I didn’t want to cry in front of the assortment of people in the waiting room, who almost cer ta inly had bigger problems to deal with than I did.

When they handed me my goodie bag on the way out, aka my take–home stool sample kit, my tears dissipated, and I laughed for five minutes straight. If you’ve never had the pleasure of receiving a DIY stool sample kit, you have truly missed out on one of life’s most thoughtful gifts. The contents include: one sombrero–shaped plastic white bucket (for shitting), two blue latex gloves (for picking up your own shit), one tiny glass vial (for containing and delivering your shit) and one brown paper bag (for pretending it’s lunch and not a literal bag of shit).

BY: BYRNE FAHEY

I’ll spare you the details, but it was gross and hilarious, and the best part of the whole thing was throwing out a hat full of my feces in my ex–boyfriend’s garbage.

If anything has made me feel like an infant again, it was pooping in a hat. In contrast, every five minutes I have spent alone in the waiting room of the rheumatology office has aged me ten years.

H av i n g a r t h r it is has been like that—a constant back–and–forth of my own perception of my maturity. I feel in control, adult, competent, and then I am floored by my smallness, my lack of knowledge and by the vastness of what maybe lies ahead. Driving myself to New Jersey for a doctor’s appointment felt adult, until the doctor looked at me drowning in the pink paper gown and held his arm out for a fist bump. Researching medication options on my own was mature,

but I couldn’t help but feel like a college–aged idiot as I tried to explain to my doctor that I couldn’t go on methotrexate, the most common medication but also one that is not alcohol– friendly, because I prioritized my Thursday night Long Island iced teas. When it comes to adulting, I don’t want to pick a side.

But maybe, hopefully, definitely, that’s okay because when it comes down to it, it’s not the arthritis making me feel young, then old, then young again. It’s being in college, and the fact that we’re all just toeing the line of adulthood—barely–20–somethings bumbling around and pretending to have an inkling about how we want to live our lives.

Unless, of course, you actually do feel like an adult, in which case I hope that works out for you, and that your plan doesn’t involve pooping in any hats.

Penn Dining now offers Halal Seminars on Galapagos, meat options in Kings Court monastic life offered in fall Change follows requests from Muslim students JACOB WINICK Urban School ‘15 San Francisco, Calif.

Kings Court English House now serves a halal meat option with every lunch and dinner as well as a traditional ethnic meal at the expo station once a week.

“Halal” denotes food that is acceptable under Islamic law.

Students in the Muslim Student Association have been trying for many years to bring a halal dining program to Penn, which was — until this week — the only Ivy League school that did not have any halal meal options. However, plans continuously failed due to lack of support from MSA, student leaders and administrators said.

The opportunity finally arose last semester when the Dining Advisory Board committee asked MSA to present a feasible plan.

“Over the years we have had students from the Muslim [Student] Association approach us about adding Halal food products, but with anything we needed to make sure that there was a base of people that would participate,” Director of Business Services Pamela Lampitt said. “We had to wait for student momentum, so that it is something that is appreciated and enjoyed.”

In the fall, MSA provided the advisory board with a list of around 60 students who came forward and requested a halal dining option.

Lampitt stressed that this step

was not the end of the road for halal dining at Penn.

“This is a pilot. Many students in the MSA are eager for us to offer some retail items, and we are looking for some halal-certified items for the Gourmet Grocer,” Lampitt said. “We hope to also expand this into other dining facilities, but we need to crawl before we can walk.”

Chef Manager of the Kings Court English HousePatterson Watkins has worked especially hard in conjunction with MSA to bring a halal option to every lunch and dinner.

“The key difficulty was finding a way to get high quality halal meat,” she said. “I wasn’t going to bring a beat-up cow from the Midwest to serve my students. I eventually found a farm in New York called Halal Pastures. They supply us with happy cows, happy chickens, happy goats and even happy lambs.”

The halal dining program

ceremonially began on Friday afternoon when students met in Kings Court English House for a special meal crafted by Chef Watkins, which included chicken with Zatar, a mixture of herbs and spices Watkins promised would “knock your socks off.”

For many Muslim students, the halal dining program does more than just offer food options consistent with their dietary restrictions.

It helps create a feeling of acceptance.

“We are celebrating the love today,” Wharton and College freshman Zuhaib Badami said.

He was one of the students who worked closely with Penn Dining last semester to show that a halal program was feasible.

“This is a step forward for all minority groups at Penn, a step forward for inclusion,” he said.

“Especially with so much Islamophobia today, this is a real sign of love.”

After working closely with Muslim students, Penn Dining now has a daily halal meat option on the menu at Kings Court English House.

Penn Global courses allow students to study abroad ERIC LEI Arlington High School ‘15 Lagrangeville, N.Y.

Penn Global is providing the opportunity to live as a monk next semester.

Penn Global recently announced the launch of the Global Seminars Program, in which students study a subject in a seminar and then travel abroad. The aim of this initiative is to further the understanding of concepts taught in the classroom through direct experience.

This coming fall, two seminars will be offered — one on evolutionary biology and the other on monastic living.

Philosophy professor Michael Weisberg will lead a course on the history and significance of evolution in the Galapagos. Students can expect to learn about the history of evolutionary theory, starting from Aristotle, going through Darwin and up to the present. A primary focus of the course will be how the conceptual challenges and theoretical debates within evolutionary biology relate to the Galapagos.

Over winter break, students will spend a week with Weisberg on a boat surveying the Galapagos, making observations on the wildlife and contextualizing the ideas learned in class.

are going to be hiking on the water looking at things... with two naturalists guiding and teaching us the whole time,” Weisberg said. “In class if we study adaptation then eight or nine times during the trip we will see and talk about it. It is basically going to be 24 hours of class for a week.”

The other seminar, led by Religious Studies professor Justin McDaniel, will have students take part in an ascetic lifestyle. Each participant will have to commit fully to monastic rules, including restrictions on dress, technology, food and verbal communication.

As the course progresses, these restrictions will increase, ranging from writing in a journal every half hour to a month of silence, McDaniel said. The idea is that students will experience the same struggles as nuns, monks and other monastic figures in order to

increase self-awareness about the monastic life, McDaniel added.

“One of the things this experience helps with is increasing attention to how much time you spend in idle communication or self-serving conversation,” McDaniel said. “For instance, students often say that they learn from others, but most of the time they speak for others.”

At the end of the course, students will travel with the professor to Thailand to meet with renowned monastics and experience monastic life first-hand.

For Wharton junior Pierson Devers, the seminar provides an invaluable opportunity to experiment with new lifestyle choices.

“There won’t be many chances to try completely disassociating from technology and talking,” Devers said. “To be able to have an excuse to do that would be life changing.”

The do’s and don’ts of living in a college house at Penn Live in the Quad, bring a mattress pad and other tips BOWMAN COOPER Bentonville High School ‘15 Bentonville, Ark.

We asked underclassmen for their best advice to incoming freshmen on dorm room living. Here’s what they had to say: Hide your food: “Put all food into your fridge if you have an open window near your room because a squirrel got into my friend’s room and ate bread. The squirrels are so agile and should honestly be feared.”

—Melanie Bow, College sophomore Mattress pads are a must: “Invest in a quality mattress pad; you’ll be spending a third of your time at Penn in bed and … Penn doesn’t provide us with TempurPedic mattresses but instead opts for something that’s a slight step up from a literal plastic box.”

—Shiv-Louis Van de Ven, Wharton and College freshman Just do your laundry: “Don’t wait until you run out of clean clothes to do a load of laundry. You can only rock the pajama look for so long.”

COURTESY OF AUDREY GOLDBERG

Current students at Penn offer a list of useful tips to heighten the college house living experience for incoming freshmen.

—Audrey Goldberg, Wharton freshman Caffeine is caffeine, no matter where it’s from: “Your Keurig can wait until next year because right now you’re on a meal plan that provides equally bad coffee for free.”

—Ari Goldfine, College freshman Take care of yourself: “Take care of your body and avoid getting sick. Take

Some tips include being sure to buy a mattress pad to make the dorm beds more comfortable and not overestimating the size of the rooms.

precautions and always wash your hands because germs spread very quickly in dorms.”

—Abby Anmuth, Engineering freshman Don’t be a stranger: “Make friends with your hall.

It makes hanging out in your common room easier and lets you feel comfortable hanging outside of your room.”

—Benner Rawley, College freshman Don’t overestimate the size of your dorm: “I came to college with furniture and chairs I thought would fit in my dorm because I really didn’t look at the measurements at all but then once I got here I had to buy completely new stuff. So maybe look at the measurements beforehand and plan ahead.”

—Madi Kahn, College freshman Be in the Quadrangle: “No matter how nice the New College House is, nothing can beat the beauty of waking up in the Quad every morning.”

—Harry Troche, Engineering freshman

Student favorites include Lyn’s and Sweetgreen NICOLE RUBIN Cold Spring Harbor High ‘15 Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.

Across campus, there are no lack of places to grab a bite if you’re opting for something other than a dining hall. Here are a selection of some of the best eateries near and around Penn: Breakfast food: The grab-and-go options are Lyn’s, Bui’s and Schmear It food trucks near the Quadrangle and Metropolitan Bakery on Walnut Street just past 40th Street.

Around 37th and Spruce streets, HubBub is a more traditional coffee shop with croissants, bagels and donuts.

A sit-down breakfast can be found at Greek Lady on 40th Street near Locust, a former food truck that acts as a diner.

When not acting as a destination of choice for drunk students, Allegro at 40th and Spruce streets also serves breakfast food.

Sabrina’s Cafe on 34th and Powelton streets and White Dog Cafe, just off Sansom near 34th Street, are perfect for a more expensive, Instagram-worthy brunch choice. Both places are within walking distance of campus.

Lunch and dinner: Sweetgreen on the stretch of Walnut Street between 38th and 39th streets is the most talked about place to get salad and has a wide variety of choices. Kitchen Gia at 37th and Spruce streets is the place to get a chopped salad or soup, with a few more basic options.

A new arrival on the healthy dining scene, Honeygrow, caters to the picky eater because their touch screen orders make it simple to sub out or add ingredients.

If you’re looking to pack on a few more calories, Qdoba and Chipotle satisfy the Mexican food craving with Bobby’s Burger Palace right nearby for traditional American cuisine and Hummus for Mediterranean

style.

Pizza: You can’t go wrong with pizza like Zesto on 40th and Walnut, among other popular options like Allegro and Pizza Hut. Off-campus delivery hotspots include Domino’s and Powelton Pizza.

Asian food: Pod serves upscale Asian fare and is perfect for when you’re trying to splurge on a friend’s birthday. Ochatto and Mizu serve Japanese food and sushi, and Hai Street Kitchen is famous for their sushi-burritos.

The Ramen Bar is great for when your old, microwaved ramen just isn’t cutting it.

Beijing is a great on-campus BYO spot and is directly next to the Quad on Spruce Street, so it is always an easy option.

There are so many restaurants near Penn’s campus, so a shortage of food is never an issue, but GrubHub is always available to deliver when you’re both hungry and lazy.

An alleged carjacker was shot twice and killed during a struggle with Penn Police at about 11:00 a.m. on Apr. 17 near 40th and Spruce streets.

The shooting — which occurred on the 200 block of Preston Street , between Spruce and Locust streets — followed a highspeed car chase west on Spruce St. in which the suspect crashed into a line of parked cars and injured a female pedestrian.

The suspect was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and died from gunshot wounds at 12:37 p.m.

The pedestr ian, who is a Health System employee , was also transported to HUP and is currently in stable condition.

BACK ON TOP PENN 34 21 CORNELL

FOOTBALL | Quakers beat Cornell,

clinch program’s 17th-ever Ivy title

HOLDEN McGINNIS Harriton High School ‘13 Rosemont, Pa.

IVY. LEAGUE. CHAMPIONS. After a predicted sixth-place finish in the Ivy preseason media poll, Penn football finished its season with a 34-21 win over Cornell to claim a share of its 17th conference title. Dartmouth earned a share of the Ancient Eight title with a 17-10 win over Princeton, while Harvard defeated Yale for

the ninth-straight year, 38-19. It is the first time since 1982 that three teams have shared the Ivy crown.

The Red and Blue (7-3, 6-1 Ivy) are Ivy League champions for the first time since the 2012 season, when the current seniors were freshmen. This is the first title in the Ray Priore era, as the first-year head coach has navigated his program back from one of its worst years in recent memory.

“It’s the most gritty team I’ve been around in my tenure here. I’m so proud of them, of what they’ve accomplished,” Priore said.

“It’s hard to win. It’s hard to go out there week in and week out, and for six straight weeks, it’s been backs to the wall, must-win.”

Right out of the gate on Saturday, it was apparent that this Penn team was energized and willing to take risks. The Quakers struck first, just two-and-a-half minutes in, on their opening drive with a five-play, 75-yard drive, capped by a six-yard touchdown run from junior running back Brian Schoenauer.

While Penn would fail to score on the twopoint conversion, it would take a 6-0 lead that the Quakers would never relinquish. On Cornell’s first offensive play of the game, Penn’s defense pressured Big Red quarterback Robert Somborn into an off-balance throw that sophomore linebacker Brandon Mills was able to intercept.

Five quick plays later, senior wide receiver

Eric Fiore threw a 14-yard score to fellow senior tight end Ryan O’Malley on a trick play to give the Quakers a 13-point lead just five minutes into the game.

“Failure was not an option this week.

That’s how these kids took it this week,” Priore said. “I thought it was one of our best weeks of practice. So focused yesterday in walkthrough, this morning you could hear a pin drop.”

A Cornell three-and-out. Another Penn score, this time a pass from junior quarterback Alek Torgersen to sophomore wide receiver Justin Watson. And by the end of the SEE FOOTBALL TITLE PAGE D6

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Penn women’s basketball coach Mike McLaughlin celebrates the Quakers clinching the Ivy title by cutting down the Palestra nets.

PRINCETON — Party like it’s 2014. Or 2001. Either way works.

Thanks to some clutch play late from its starting guards, Penn women’s basketball went into to Princeton’s Jadwin Gym and knocked off the Tigers in a winner-take-all matchup for the second time in three seasons. With the 62-60 win on Tuesday, the Quakers clinched the fourth Ivy League championship in program history, sweeping their archrival for the first time since an undefeated run through the conference 15 years ago.

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. Hard to imagine it does.

Now, having played three games in five days to capture the Ancient Eight title, the Red and Blue (24-4, 13-1 Ivy) will have to wait until Monday night to see who and when they will play in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, not to mention the identity of their opponent.

“I just told them [after the game], you get these opportunities not too

many times in sports, and to celebrate something like this, I want them to enjoy every moment of it,” McLaughlin said. “We talked about some space being up on the top of that Palestra just for them.

“To be in the company of all those other great Penn teams, it’s pretty special.”

Almost exactly two months after their Ivy opener at the Palestra, this matchup between the Quakers and Princeton (23-5, 12-2) was nearly a carbon copy of their first affair. An overwhelmingly defensive game throughout, Penn surged ahead early in the second half before rebounding from a run by the Tigers and ultimately holding on down the stretch.

Princeton got the scoring underway with two early baskets from senior Alex Wheatley. Soon thereafter, the Red and Blue’s guards stole the show in the opening frame, as junior Kasey Chambers and sophomores Lauren Whitlatch and Anna Ross combined to score all of Penn’s 14 first-quarter points.

The Quakers found themselves leading by three after 10 SEE W. HOOPS TITLE PAGE D7

hen I first set out on being a sports reporter, I did it for a girl.

No, not like that. There was no romantic intent. It was high school, and I had no ulterior motive other than beefing up my Common App with another extracurricular activity. The only problem was that I had to decide on a section to write for.

For the uninspired reason of knowing the most people there (aforementioned girl), I settled on sports. I continued with that line of work for the rest high school – even going on to become a sports editor my junior year – but when I arrived in University City this past fall, I had little intention of going down the same track.

In truth, one of the largest reasons I chose to write for sports in high school over a section like news or opinion was that it was the easiest. The quality of writing was the lowest in sports because frankly, nobody cared. Sports were often

an afterthought, and writing about them carried no promises of excitement or prestige.

During the Daily Pennsylvanian recruiting session last fall, I signed up primarily as a news reporter, but still put my name down for the sports listserv. I thought I would try my luck in the big leagues while keeping a roster spot in the minors.

It did not take long for me to realize that I was a fish out of water.

This time, it was not the quality of my writing that held me back, it was the nature of the task. While news may have its charm, it was in the sports section that I felt at home.

Before I knew it, I was in love.

The romance that I had never been looking for was suddenly laid out in front of me, and I gradually chose to embrace it. As I interviewed players and coaches, interacted with members of Athletic Communications and integrated into the Daily Pennsylvanian sports section, I came to realize that sports journalism is not about extracurriculars, journalism or even sports.

At its heart, being a sports reporter is about being part of a community, whose whole is vastly SEE ZHENG PAGE D6

Swanson wins Penn’s first-ever NCAA title in 1,650

M. SWIMMING | Late rally

clinches stunning win SAM ALTLAND

Middletown South High School ‘13 Middletown, N.J.

Every senior hopes for a storybook ending when they get ready to compete for the last time, and that’s just what Penn men’s swimming senior Chris Swanson got at this weekend’s NCAA National Swimming and Diving Championships.

On a weekend already made historic by the number of Quakers participating at the meet, Swanson became Penn’s first ever national champion, winning the 1,650-yard freestyle in a time of 14:31.54 in incredible come-from-behind fashion.

The senior started off on Thursday by picking up an 11thplace finish in the 500 free, and his time of 4:15.73 was good for a new Ivy League and Penn team record. This eclipsed his own mark of 4:16.13 which he set four weeks ago at the Ivy League Championships. Swanson also earned himself another All-American honorable mention, his first in the 500 to go with consecutive recognitions in the 1,650 in 2014 and 2015.

The highlight of the weekend and of the senior’s career came on Saturday in the finals of the mile. Entering the event, Swanson had recorded the fifth fastest time in the nation at 14:40.18, a time he swam at Ivies where he broke the Penn and meet record.

Last year Swanson finished 11th at NCAAs in this distance, just short of his goal of becoming an All-American, an honor bestowed upon the top eight finishers. This year, it looked as if Swanson was destined for a second-place finish after trailing South Carolina sophomore Akaram Mahmoud for most of the race. However, Swanson closed the last 50 yards in a blisteringly fast time of 24.38, eating into Mahmoud’s lead

the whole time, and touched in a time of 14:31.54, good for a school record and Penn’s firstever national championship.

“His entire race was perfect, and he could not have gone out there and executed the race plan that we had any better,” coach Mike Schnur said. “With 300 meters left, we didn’t think he was going to catch [Mahmoud], but there is no stopping Chris at the end of the race, and it was pretty incredible to watch him pull even and win.”

According to Swanson, something beyond just the will to win helped him through the final yards of the race.

“I always know that if I look over at my teammates at the end of the race that they’ll really get me through it in the end, and that’s what they did,” Swanson said. “They were going wild, I’ve never seen them jump around so much.”

Swanson’s time was .12 seconds faster than Mahmoud’s, the smallest margin of victory ever in the NCAA 1,650 championship. It also was the 12th fastest all-time swim in the event’s history — only .25 seconds slower than the 11th fastest event time, set earlier this year

by Clark Smith of Texas.

For the final chapter in an impressive season, Penn sent six total swimmers down to Georgia Tech in Atlanta to compete in eight events at this year’s NCAA Championships. Penn’s four individual bids was the highest among all Ivy League programs this year, and also marked the most competitors Penn has sent to the championship since 1971.

Senior Eric Schultz rounded out his incredible career at Penn with three individual races in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyles.

The senior swam to a 44th-place finish in the 50 with a final time of 20.11, finished 40th in the 200 in 1:37.00 and capped off the weekend with a 22nd-place finish in the 100.

P e n n’s underclassmen were also well represented.

COURTESY OF PETER H. BICK AND SWIMMING WORLD MAGAZINE

At the NCAA Championships in Atlanta, senior Chris Swanson won Penn swimming’s first-ever national title after pulling off a stunning comeback late in the 1,650-yard freestyle to secure the championship.

Sophomore A lex Peterson made his NCAA debut in the 500, 400 individual medley and 1,650, touching in 4:22.97 to place 45th in the 500, clocking a 3:48.15 for 27th place in the 400 IM and finishing 30th in the mile with a time of 15:14.42.

Freshman Mark Andrew also competed in two individual events, placing 36th and 32nd in the 200 IM and 400 IM events, respectively.

Andrew also combined with Schultz, freshman Thomas Dillinger and junior Kevin Su in the 400 free relay to place 23rd in a time of 2:56.07.

“It’s a great experience for these guys to get to race in this atmosphere so early in their career, the same way guys like Chris have,” Schnur said. “It’s a very difficult environment, but guys like Mark and Alex are going to be back here next year, and it’s awesome that they’ve already gotten to have this opportunity to race the best guys in the country.”

However, the weekend truly

belonged to Swanson, who, despite already being considered the best swimmer in Penn

history, found a way to add to his legacy.

“I don’t think anyone really

expected those results,” Swanson said. “As great as it is for me, it is also great for [the Penn swimming community]. They’re just as excited as I am, if not more.”

While the collegiate racing season may be over for Penn, several athletes from the men’s and women’s sides will be gearing up for the Olympic Trials in June, where swim mers like Swanson will get one last chance to go for glory.

“There’s a chance he can end up in the final heat at trials, with the chance to be one of the eight fastest guys in the country.” Schnur said. “Chris is a guy who though who will swim till his heart gives out, so it will be exciting to see him get in the pool for one final time.”

Even though Swanson has become the fastest collegiate mile swimmer in the country, he hesitates to depict himself as the swimming great he is.

“I feel like people like the underdog, the little guy.”

But as the program’s first ever national champion, Chris Swanson is an underdog no more.

Faith and football intersect on and off the field

FOOTBALL | Red and Blue and downs,” said sophomore

bond over shared faiths ANNA DYER The Hockaday School ‘14 Dallas, Texas

At the end of every football practice, after the whistle is blown and the team disperses from the huddle, there exists at the center of the field a quiet spirituality.

Some coaches strategize with players off to the side. Most players have already jogged off to the locker room. A few chat or toss footballs back and forth in the end zone. But for a group of about 20 players, the practice is not yet over. For some, the most important part of the session is just starting.

Gathered in a circle holding hands, the group stands with their heads bowed in prayer, listening to the words of team chaplain Mark Pass.

Although sometimes Pass’ prayers and devotional readings relate to football, for most players the daily prayer circle transcends the game and reminds them that what they do on the field is not the most important thing in life.

“Football has a ton of ups

defensive end and prayer-circle participant Louis Vecchio. “It definitely becomes a lot more bearable knowing that there is a higher power, knowing that God is with you no matter what goes on.”

As the prayer wraps up, the players huddle together in a tight cluster, their hands raised in the air. Soon, the cheer “Live for Him” echoes throughout Franklin Field.

The prayer circle is only a small component of the practice, yet it often provides respite from everything the players deal with on and off the field.

For players who juggle rigorous academic schedules, Division I athletics and faith, the prayer circle makes balancing these things a little bit easier — espe cia l ly consider i ng t h is balancing act most likely wasn’t necessary during their youth playing days.

“When I was young, I never had to balance anything because my mom was like ‘church on Sunday,’” sophomore defensive lineman Chibuzor Ugwu said. “Then, when I got here, where no one was making me do anything, and we have practice on Sundays, it was rough at first.

ILANA WURMAN | DESIGN EDITOR

Although Penn football players come together as teammates on the field, they also forge a bond through shared faith — including by holding team-wide prayer circles led by the squad’s chaplain, Mark Pass, after practices.

“It’s harder to balance, but when you are firm in your faith, it makes it okay.”

Vecchio echoed these sentiments, noting that, in college, it takes a conscious effort to maintain strong faith with such a demanding schedule.

“As a kid, practices end early, so there is always time at night,” he said. “But when you get to college, it’s pretty tough, especially practicing on Sundays.

“I mean we are here almost all day Sunday, so its pretty hard to find a church that is

doing something later in the day, so [the prayer circle] definitely helps after every practice.”

The post-practice prayer circle isn’t the only way the players balance faith and football. In fact, in some cases, practicing faith is a way to prepare for football.

“Before the game, we have chapel, and it really helps us focus and get geared for the game,” Ugwu said.

Although they have a good crowd for the prayer circle

after every practice, both players said the turnout was even bigger before Saturday’s game against Lehigh, perhaps as part of mental preparation. The religious activities continue after the game as well, and sometimes include members from rival teams, especially those from Catholic schools like Villanova, the Quakers’ opponent on Thursday.

“After games, our chaplain will get a huge circle going,” Vecchio said. “We come together in the middle of the field

and get an open prayer with both teams. We are enemies on the field but when that clock stops, we all play for God, so we are brothers and sisters in the light.”

Off the field, Vecchio and Ugwu both attend Fellowship of Christian Athletes meetings on Tuesday nights, and they said that, along with the prayer circle, has established a special bond between players who deeply value their faith.

And just as the City of Brotherly Love has been planning for the Pope’s arrival, the two players have been thinking about his visit as well. Both said that they would love to see Pope Francis, but they aren’t sure yet if their practice schedule will permit them to, as the Red and Blue gear up for their first Ivy game next Saturday against Dartmouth.

If one things is certain, it’s that, in the long run, faith is always more important than football for Vecchio, Ugwu and many other members of the Quakers squad.

“Things don’t always go your way in football,” Ugwu said.

“It’s nice to have faith that you can fall back on because it lets you know that everything is going to be ok.”

Quakers bring Heelys back, prepare to ride for glory

W. HOOPS | Childhood

favorite makes comeback

TOMMY ROTHMAN Trevor Day School ‘14 New York, N.Y.

“HEELY GANG!” Sophomore forward Michelle Nwokedi gives out the call the moment she realizes what she’s being interviewed about, and the members of Penn women’s basketball begin to swarm. Some are turned away (“You don’t have Heelys!”), others miss out while completing interviews about the sport they play (“We’re not waiting for Sydney”).

Over the past few weeks, members of the Ivy Leagueleading Quakers have been seen rolling around on “Heelys” after practices. How did it come about?

“One day ... who was it?”

Nwokedi pauses.

“You,” sophomore guard Anna Ross reminds her.

“OK. Well like they all had scooters, and I was like, ‘Ugh, I really wanna be included,’ so I was like, ‘Dude, remember those shoes, I forgot what they’re called, but they had the wheels.’

And one of them was like, ‘They’re Heelys,’ and I was like, ‘Let’s get some! Like why not, let’s just go get some Heelys.’ So we got Heelys.”

The revived trend came as a surprise to Penn coach Mike McLaughlin. “I was shocked, I didn’t know they even made them anymore,” he said. “I must be so old school. I remember my kids had them 12 or 14 years earlier.”

The first time the girls received and wore the Heelys was particularly memorable.

“When we first got the email that they were in, me and Ashley [Russell] ran back to our dorms and got them, and we brought

them and practiced in the gym,” Nwokedi recalls.

“They were done with [basketball] practice, and I was still

in the Palestra talking to whoever was in there,” McLaughlin said. “And all of a sudden five of them came out there wearing them. I was taken aback.”

Nwokedi claims the historic Palestra floor is the best surface to roll on. “It’s really hard to practice on concrete,” she said.

But basketball practice isn’t the only time to bring out the

Heelys.

“One day, we were all watching ‘The Bachelor,’ and between commercials we’d go outside and start practicing [riding] Heelys,” Nwokedi said.

It quickly became apparent that not all Heely riders are created equal.

“Sydney [Stipanovich] needs the most practice,” Ross said.

“Kristen [Daley] and I were teaching these two,” Russell said, pointing to Ross and Nwokedi. “We’re pros.”

“It must be a Boston thing,” Nwokedi explained.

According to the Heely Gang, which also includes junior guard Kasey Chambers, members of the team who already own scooters are reluctant to join the crew.

McLaughlin had gone on the record saying he would buy a set of Heelys if the team went undefeated in conference play, but a recent loss to Cornell killed that dream. Still, Penn will have a shot to win the league title against Princeton next week, and McLaughlin has decided to be flexible to help up the ante for what will likely be a winnertake-all matchup.

“If we win, I’ll be Heelying all over. Up and down 33rd Street, up Walnut, to Baby Blues, to Houston, all over,” McLaughlin said.

And whether he’ll admit it or not, McLaughlin is already feeling the Heely spirit. As he shouted on his way out of the Palestra after one practice: “Heelys are back!”

sk Athletic Director Grace Calhoun to talk broadly about Penn Athletics and somewhere along the way, you’ll almost certainly hear the phrase “pure student-athlete.”

This idea manifests itself in myriad ways — to Calhoun, the pure student-athlete balances sports with the player’s primary focus on academics — and means that concerns about the physical and mental health of Penn’s student-athletes are purportedly paramount. And the March vote by the eight Ivy League football coaches to end tackling at in-season practices is an example of that philosophy in action.

Although many college administrators and coaches pay lip service to this idea of holistic student-athlete wellbeing, when it comes down to making the decisions to live up to what they say, the results tends to be underwhelming.

Pending this summer’s vote from the Ivy League presidents to approve the ban on tackling at in-season football practices, however, the Ivy League is putting its money where its mouth is. With the endorsement of the league’s eight coaches virtually guaranteeing the rule’s passage, the Ancient Eight is about to make a bold — and positive — decision.

When I first heard the news of the tackling ban, I wasn’t sure I had read the article correctly.

And based on reactions to the Daily Pennsylvanian’s reporting on the decision, many people in the Penn community and beyond felt the same way.

But let’s be realistic. We’re never going to see more tackling added to football practices. Programs have been limiting hitting, and that trend is only going to continue. And as more research

Starting in 2016, Ivy League football players will no longer hit during inseason practices, the first such conference-wide policy in the country.

comes out about the detriments of concussions in athletics and more cases of CTE are made public, the movement to make football safer is only going to gather steam.

Ivy League teams already only hit twice weekly once the season starts, and there will still be the chance to get some of the rust off in preseason practices before the in-season tackling ban takes effect.

“All these kids that we’re playing with have been playing football their whole life,” junior linebacker Donald Panciello said after Sunday’s Spring Game. “If you don’t know how to tackle by now, I guess you’ve got to figure it out.”

Panciello’s comment hits the nail right on the head. Division I college players know how to tackle.

Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens has long made this cause his hallmark crusade, unilaterally banning in-season tackling in 2010. And it didn’t go unnoticed. I can’t think of any other way anything relating to Dartmouth football would get airtime with Stephen Colbert.

The Big Green’s share of the 2015 Ivy title is proof-positive that teams can compete without hitting during practice.

After news broke of the

decision, Penn coach Ray Priore pointed out that the team had already transitioned to teach a more rugby-style of tackling. The cessation of tackling seemed like the logical next step.

Shortly after the tackling ban was announced I asked an old teammate of mine from high school who plays football at a Division III college what he thought of the changes.

He was incredulous, and his initial knee-jerk reaction was similar to mine. Banning tackling seemed a ridiculous proposition. But after a minute of consideration, he offered another thought.

“You know, I guess we only hit about once a week during the season anyway,” he said.

With the landmark change to football practices, the Ivy League is putting itself on the right side of history.

Time and again, I’ve heard Calhoun argue that Penn and the Ivy League pride themselves on being innovators in the world of college athletics. Maybe that claim isn’t that far off the mark.

greater than the sum of its parts.

Blinded by the prospect of college admissions, I never came to see that when I was toiling away in high school. Back then, sports writing was a means to an end, not the main event.

The same cannot be said within the confines of 4015 Walnut. As I sit here, surrounded by people who have devoted an unhealthy portion of their lives to covering Penn Athletics, it is clear that there is a value in sports journalism that transcends even the sport itself.

And that sentiment is contagious.

It’s not that the the Penn community is so captivated by our content. In fact, student apathy for athletics may be even greater here than it was in my high school.

What has made sports so special for me is realizing that it does not take much to take pride in one’s work, to feel compelled to provide the best coverage that you can.

first quarter, the Quakers held a 20-point lead.

Watson was once again one of the offensive highlights for the Red and Blue. The sophomore wide receiver surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the year with his seventh 100-yard game of the season.

The Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year typically ends up in the hands of a running back or quarterback, but Watson has made a legitimate case to be the first wide receiver to win the award since Brown receiver Buddy Farnham in 2009. The sophomore led the Ivy League with 108.2 receiving yards per game to go along with over 100 yards on the ground and 10 total touchdowns.

“It was coach [John] Reagan putting me in really good situations. He’d see something in the defense for me to take advantage of,” Watson said.

To Andrew Zheng, life as a sports reporter has been about more than the games covered — it includes an unexpected sense of community.

That’s the beauty of being a sports reporter. You don’t have be be into sports or even Penn to appreciate sports journalism. If you don’t believe me, come give it a try.

out, and the Quakers never looked back. The junior quarterback added 195 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, both to Watson, to a performance that also saw him throw his first and only interception in conference play of the year. Torgersen finished the season with 19 passing touchdowns to just three interceptions and just under 2,000 yards.

For Penn’s seniors, this was the second title during their tenures and an excellent way to cap off an emotional season. The Quakers started the season 1-3, but had beaten then-No. 13 Villanova, when they traveled to Columbia for the first game of their seasonending, six-game winning streak.

“It’s surreal. I don’t know if it’s really hit me yet,” O’Malley said. “I was trying to take it all in on the field. To come out with two championships is special. Not a lot of people even get one.”

Athletics was thin, if even existent. This past fall, I rooted for Columbia, the team one of my best friends plays on, when they played Penn in New York (blasphemous, I know). Even after a year in University City, I still plan to be a Lions fan when the teams meet again next year, but assign me a recap on any Penn team’s most recent competition, and I will give everything I can to do it justice.

“[Torgersen’s] done a great job of reading out the defense and not trying to force anything and finding me in good spots.”

While Cornell would attempt to battle back after falling behind in the first quarter, the Big Red were unable to consistently finish drives against a Penn defense that has held strong repeatedly this year. Cornell outgained the Quakers, 490-373, on the game, but threw a pair of interceptions and were forced to punt at the end of a handful of longer drives.

Penn’s offense and defense weren’t the only important aspects to the game though, as one of the biggest plays of the game came from junior kick returner Lonnie Tuff. After Cornell scored to bring the score to 20-7 in the second quarter, Tuff took the ensuing kickoff back 92 yards, reversing field masterfully, to set up a short field for Penn.

Torgersen took advantage, running it in from three yards

minutes despite two early fouls on both Ross and junior Sydney Stipanovich. However, the squad clamped down defensively throughout much of the first half, using a dynamic full-court press to force four Tiger turnovers in the second quarter while making Princeton’s potent offense uncomfortable.

“We just wanted to put as much pressure on them up front because we didn’t want to guard them [in the halfcourt], they have so many kids who can score and we didn’t want to guard them 25 seconds each possession,” McLaughlin said. “But our hands were really active, I thought Kasey and Anna up front were great.”

Although the teams combined to hit only 10 of their first 41 shots, the tempo picked up significantly before halftime. After the Tigers took a 21-20 lead, the Quakers used a 12-5 run — keyed by a Whitlatch three and six points from Ross — in the last 2:35 of the second quarter to head into the break up by six.

“I thought it might take 65 points tonight to win and we needed to find a way to score,” McLaughlin noted. “And I thought we did a good enough job tonight getting some points in transition and hitting some timely threes.”

Penn maintained its offensive momentum early in the second half, scoring five of the third period’s

first seven points to race out to a 37-28 lead. Yet similar to their meeting in January when Princeton rallied from a 10-point deficit with a 13-0 run, the Tigers overcame seven third-quarter turnovers to trim their deficit to just two.

Although the Red and Blue led by six heading into the fourth quarter, the contest’s final frame was extremely tight. But clutch shots by Whitlatch and Chambers — who hit an acrobatic, off-balanced heave to beat the shot clock midway through the period — kept Penn in front despite the Tigers’ greatest efforts.

After two Ross free throws put the Quakers up, 55-51, a three from senior Annie Tarakchian and a basket by Wheatley gave Princeton its first lead in over 20 minutes. It would also be the Tigers’ last.

With 1:45 remaining, Ross drove hard to the lane, converting a shot down low and the free throw for the last of her team-high 18 points.

“I come into every game thinking ‘I’m going to do whatever we need to do,’ be it assists or rebounds, it changes every game,” the Syracuse native said. “But I knew tonight that I needed to be aggressive, so right when they scored, I had the mindset that I needed to get to the basket.”

“It was huge,” McLaughlin added. “We’ve been there before, we’ve been in a lot of close games this year and we’ve handled it. We practice that way: We try to value every possession of the game so that

we don’t get stressed.”

Over the next minute, the teams traded turnovers, giving Princeton a shot to tie or take the lead with 43 seconds to play. But after Chambers forced a loose ball, the possession arrow favored the Red and Blue, and the transfer from Monmouth managed to seal the game with four shots from the free throw line.

“If anyone wanted the ball in her hands, it’s Kasey,” McLaughlin said. “She’s lived this, she’s felt that moment and stepped up with a great deal of confidence and made them.”

Chambers and Whitlatch scored 11 points apiece, while sophomore forward Michelle Nwokedi notched 17 points and pulled in five boards.

Perhaps most importantly, the Quakers converted 16 of 18 shots from the charity stripe, helping them overcome Princeton’s 57.7 percent clip from the field in the second half.

With the win, Penn extended its program record for wins in a season to 24. Now, looking to grab its first ever victory in the Big Dance, the Red and Blue have a chance to add to that total next weekend.

“It’s something they deserve, and as I told them, I couldn’t be any more proud watching them jump around because they certainly earned it,” McLaughlin said.

“They’ve got great character, humility and they really respect this sport.

“They deserve a shining moment.”
