PENN’S INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER

It’s time to take responsibility for mental health on Penn’s campus. EDITORIAL BY THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN OPINION BOARD

t’s been two weeks since Wharton junior Ao “Olivia” Kong died by suicide. Since then, Fling has come and gone, finals are looming and as we have nine times before, we are beginning to move on from the discussion of mental health. It’s easy to talk about mental health in response to tragedy. It’s harder to take immediate responsibility and action in an atmosphere that, as many have said, breeds competition and stress. While it’s easy to react on social media, it’s more difficult to empathize with a peer who attempts to combat stress by taking time off, dropping extracurriculars or seeking counseling. We, as a student body, need to rise to the challenge of changing our collective need for pre-professional perfection. And to do this, we need to make mental health and illness part of an ongoing conversation at Penn, not something that is spoken about in whispers or kept silent, not something that only comes into the light after it culminates in a death. And further than that, we need to recognize our own roles in contributing to this toxic culture and take action to improve it. We, as much as the administration, bear the burden of acknowledging and actively changing the culture around mental health at Penn. It’s easy to solely blame the administration, but in reality, students also impose unfair standards upon each other and on themselves. That being said, the administration also plays a role in setting the tone of Penn’s culture. Penn administrators have a responsibility to create a community where students feel that they can speak up when they need help and to provide students with adequate resources for mental health.

At this point, most students are aware of mental health resources on campus, but it’s not enough for these resources to passively exist. The stigma around interacting with these resources must be addressed. It’s those students who need help and are not engaging with existing resources that need to be reached. Creating new resources but putting the onus on students to seek them out is not sufficient to solve this problem. Doing so does not erase the barrier to getting help. The defensiveness that characterizes the administration’s responses to student deaths has consistently distracted the conversation from what it should be: that mental illness is a treatable condition and something that we — both students and administrators — have to take responsibility for addressing. Penn’s administration mishandled notifying students of Kong’s suicide in several ways. First, by sending two emails with differing information — a vague email to all undergraduates and then one including Kong’s name sent only to undergraduate Wharton students just minutes apart. Second, by labeling Kong’s death an “accident” in an email sent before the cause of death had been determined. These missteps only added to an apparent pattern of reactive behavior on the part of Penn’s administration. Penn’s administration gives the impression that it prioritizes the preservation of the University’s image over the students’ wellbeings — regardless of whether this is actually the case. Of course, improving campus culture around mental health and illnesses is a tall order, but one that the entire Penn community can begin to address with several simple steps. First, we task the administration with

being more approachable. When a Yale student died by suicide last year, there was a gathering at the student’s college master’s house that the university president and college dean attended, showing support for the student body. In the wake of student deaths at Penn, the limited visibility of top administrators is emblematic of the community’s general avoidance of fully dealing with mental health. Many other schools such as Drexel, Brown and Princeton have presidential office hours. President Amy Gutmann, in contrast, is rarely even seen around campus — making Penn’s administration seem even more remote. In part, cultural changes at Penn need to come from the top-down, and Gutmann and top Penn administrators need to start leading by example. We task the administration with creating a more streamlined way for students to take leaves of absence, be it for a semester or longer, and an easier way to return to Penn in a timely manner. We task the administration with investigating one of the core contributors to Penn’s culture: academics. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology makes all of their freshmen first semester classes pass/fail. While Penn administrators need to determine what policies are right for Penn, it’s clear that action must be taken to create a healthier academic environment. However, change also has to come from the student body. We task students with defusing social pressures both inside and outside the classroom. Challenge the “work hard, play hard” mindset that currently defines success at Penn. Reflect on the way you and others talk about your problems — when someone tells you that they got six

hours of sleep, do you respond by saying that you got four? We task ourselves and other student groups and leaders with bringing resources to their constituents and scheduling regular discussions about mental health within their own communities. Students have already created resources — Penn Wellness, Active Minds, Penn Benjamins and RAP Line, to name some. Student leaders should task themselves with having a thorough understanding of such resources, along with those provided by Counseling and Psychological Services. Finally, we task each Penn student with being more present. Be present in your conversations, and go out of your way to be inclusive and to check in on yourself and your peers. Each student has to play their part in changing Penn’s culture through action, not just words. We commend the actions of Engineering junior Ahmed Mohieldin, who organized the candlelit vigil held on the day of Kong’s death even though he did not personally know her. Likewise, College and Wharton junior Sophie Phillips’ organization of the demonstration “You Are Not Alone” and creation of a Change. org petition to address fundamental problems on campus also show what individual students can do. We should all follow their examples in taking leadership on this topic. Penn — both the administration and the student body — has already taken some important steps toward making mental health issues more visible on campus. The fact that we’re still having this discussion about mental health and illness is already a step in the right direction. But this time, we are going to take action.

HELP Line centralizes mental health resources

Administration clarifies mental health changes

Admins and DPS encourage students to call the number

Extension of CAPS hours and new resources recently announced

JAMIE BRENSILBER Staff Reporter

Last year, President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price created a committee to look at mental health issues in light of a series of suicides that had just rocked the school. They consulted experts around the country, comparing the issues at Penn and other universities. As a result of this committee, Penn created the HELP Line at 215-898HELP (215-898-4357) on Sept. 30, 2014. Students can call the number anytime when they need help understanding Penn’s resources for health and wellness. In a message sent out to the Penn community, Gutmann, Price and Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli

described the HELP Line as “a single point of entry for information about how to get help with personal problems, whether your own or those of a student, partner, friend, or colleague.” The message informed students that calls would be answered at all hours, every day of the week. “Penn is very rich in resources; [there are] so many ways in which people can get help,” Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said. With so many resources on campus, knowing who to call can be a little confusing. The HELP Line solves the problem by informing students who to call when in crisis. The HELP line also provides students the ability to talk to a counselor at Counseling and Psychological Services. Dispatchers for the HELP Line have been trained by CAPS Director SEE HELP PAGE 8

SYDNEY SCHAEDEL Deputy News Editor

In an email to all undergraduates on Tuesday, April 19 — the second after Wharton junior Ao “Olivia” Kong’s suicide — the administration announced new changes to address mental health. According to the email, hours at Counseling and Psychological Services would be extended “in the interim,” effective April 20. Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum, the vice provost of university life, said the duration of this interim period has not yet been determined. “We are going to get feedback from students,” she said. “We’ll look at the use of the services and make an evaluation based on what students tell us, what has been useful.” Attached to the email was a “Help a Friend Guide,” which Cade said had been

written about three years ago by a group of students, CAPS staff and Cade herself. “For a long time we’ve known there’s got to be multiple avenues for students to access,” she said. “It’s important to reiterate messaging and to use different strategies.” The email also thanked the efforts of student groups Active Minds and Penn Benjamins. “Student peer groups are another one of key access points,” Cade said. “Students may tell things to another student that they might not want to say to a faculty member or a staff member.” Even though previous emails on mental health resources have come from President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price, Cade said she felt it was important to make her voice heard, largely because of how connected she feels to the University. Gutmann’s office declined to make her available to comment for this story. SEE CHANGES PAGE 8

Demo Day offers startups professional feedback A WeissLabs event helps students with their startups

ERIC LEI Contributing Reporter

In the midst of a growing startup culture in Philadelphia, WeissLabs of the Weiss Tech House hosted Demo Days, one of its largest entrepreneurship events of the year. On April 22, dozens of guests had the opportunity to watch seven startup companies present their pitches in front of a panel of venture capitalists for feedback. These judges included co-founder at Horizons School of Technology Ed Lando, and Wharton graduate and managing director at MentorTech Ventures Brett Topche. The Demo Day was the capstone of a ten-week entrepreneurship course at WeissLabs — Penn’s new startup incubator — offered to selected applicants from Penn who want to develop

their ideas into companies. The day was an opportunity for these students to receive professional feedback on the startups they have spent the past few months developing. Wharton seniors and WeissLabs co-founders Guth r ie Gintzler and Ernest Tavares came up with the idea for WeissLabs after attending the 2015 Pennvention competition, where students develop a video, and pitch their ideas to investors for prize money. “We wanted to make some kind of incubator where we don’t just give people resources, but we actually bring them together,” Gintzler said . “We’ve gone from what Penn does, which is giving a man a fish by giving people money, to teaching them how to fish, by teaching how reach to investors and raise money to build a business.” Each startup was given ten minutes to present their pitch

followed by a seven minute question and answer session with the judges. The first team to present was WeTrain, an on-demand personal training service. Co-founder Zachary Hertzel highlighted the multifaceted screening process for finding trainers: the company conducts background checks and interviews, and receives additional feedback on trainers via the app, through which customers are able to rate trainers and leave comments. Startups were aimed at different sectors such as food with Crescent Bites, financial technology with Slice Capital and Factor Place, and fashion with Patos. One startup, Emery & Elizabeth, aims to prevent the hassle of purchasing a bra by providing an affordable online shopping experience alongside the convenience of a home try-on service. “Buying bras is overwhelming because there are over 300

options when you walk in a store,” Wharton MBA and cofounder Jenna Kerner said. “We want to offer three to five core styles of everyday bras and simplify that experience for them.” Afterwards, the startups had the opportunity to demonstrate their products. Turing showcased a prototype of its product,

Root, a low cost wall plug attachment that allows users to control electricity flow remotely from an app to save money on their electric bill. Wharton sophomore and Root co-founder Michael Raevsky stressed the usefulness of removing the responsibility of remembering to turn off

electrical appliances. “For example, if I go to school and forget to turn my TV off, I’ll get a notification twenty minutes later reminding me to turn my TV off. If you shave one hour of TV usage per day in such a way, you get 12 dollars in energy savings over a course of a year.”

Penn Museum hosts live taping of ‘Fresh Air’ show The show featured Ahmir Thompson in interview ADELAIDE POWELL Contributing Reporter

“God, this is like therapy,” Ahmir Thompson, known by his professional name as Questlove, said. Thompson is the joint frontman of The Roots, the in-house band of ”The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” On Sunday, the host of NPR’s ”Fresh Air” Terry Gross interviewed Thompson about his artistic projects and life at a live taping of the show at the Penn Museum. Thompson talked about his new book ”Something to Food About: Exploring Creativity with Innovative Chefs” and the connection

food has to music. Gross asked about Thompson’s family influences on the book and his broader career path. Fresh Air is broadcast out of Philadelphia’s public radio station WHYY, is listened to by millions of people every week on more than 600 NPR stations around the world and is consistently lauded as one of the most popular and best radio programs throughout the world. On Fresh Air, Gross interviews prominent people with the aim of provoking revelatory insights and illuminating universal questions. Thompson said his parents were the kind to always go out to dinner, but his uncles would go hunting and he and his cousins would dare each other to look in the bag filled with trophies of

the hunt and guess what was in Grandma’s stew later that night. Thompson’s parents were hard on him and would tell him that he had to home by the time the Oprah theme song came on. Thompson talked about his relationship with his father and how it was somewhat strained, but that he was able to clear things up with him shortly before he passed. His father didn’t know The Roots existed until after their second album came out, Thompson admitted. Thompson said his father told him that “it’s every parent’s dream for their offspring to leave a permanent impact” and that he was proud of his son’s accomplishments. The recently deceased musician Prince’s influence in Thompson’s life was very evident at the taping,

beginning from a moment early in the show when some mechanical noises were heard and Thompson said, “Could have been Prince.” While reminiscing about a time when Prince randomly challenged Jimmy Fallon to a ping-pong match, Thompson used his trademark hair pick to imitate Prince swinging around his gold racquet. Thompson also mentioned Prince’s penchant for making others donate their money to a swear jar after using vulgar words, and the time Prince gave a four hour lecture on religion to Thompson and rapper Common after swinging by a recording session. The talk took on a somber tone when Gross mentioned the overwhelming amount of deaths in Thompson’s life recently, including those of his father and Prince.

The performer had been at seven memorials in the last five weeks. “It’s becoming numbing. I don’t want to get used to death,” he said. “This is seriously making me consider a life pattern change. I don’t think it’s a mistake that the constant wear and tear ran down [Prince’s] body...It’s like losing two fathers almost.” Thompson repeatedly expressed his love for The Tonight Show throughout the talk. “It’s the best job ever... Your dream job is the job you’re willing to wake up at 4:00 a.m. for,” Thompson said. The musician noted he was certainly willing to get up in the early hours for his career, but that it might not be the healthiest routine to maintain. Thompson also talked about the

state of The Roots and their relationship to The Tonight Show. He delved into the perils of trying to write a theme song for the show, which culminated in Fallon serendipitously choosing the first of some 4,300 songs The Roots had ever performed at 30 Rock — a song they had only used for a sound check. Gross acknowledged that the current theme is a kind of homage to the first Tonight Show song, but funkier. Thompson said there was once a time when The Roots’ relationship to The Tonight Show was uncertain. However, after he saw his bandmates and Fallon form a human pyramid during a trip to the University of California, Los Angeles, he remarked, “We’re stuck with this guy, aren’t we?”

Penn Monologues touch upon mental health

The show’s themes ranged from insecurity to love ARIA KOVALOVICH Contributing Reporter

At a time when students are discussing a need for safe spaces and peer-to-peer vulnerability, this weekend’s Penn Monologues show created a lesser-known avenue of insight into Penn students’ lives and personal stories. The show featured 12 Penn students performing original monologues, telling their stories so that those in the audience might find a connection with their own experiences. Entitled “Crossroads,” this year’s show revealed prevailing themes of family failure, love, loss, courage and insecurity. Many stories culminated in an ultimate decision or realization that changed the speaker’s perspective and reversed negative ways of thinking. Body shaming was a common topic students addressed in the

Monologues. Students spoke of being pressured to look thin to conform to a surprising variety of societal standards of beauty — the standards of gay masculinity, middle school bullies, NCAA Division I athletics and those of a gaggle of otherwise loving Vietnamese relatives. The students used varying styles to tell their stories. Some were more serious, such as Wharton senior Emma Kloppenberg’s monologue “And I Laid Down Next To Her,” which evoked the pain and consuming anxiety of losing loved ones to cancer. Some were eloquent, such as College senior Angela Perfetti’s “What the Park Bench Saw,” in which she interspersed lists of things to do on a park bench and lists of Philadelphia suburbs with poetic comparisons, likening her soul to an albatross and the agony and joy of first love to purgatory. Others had the audience laughing throughout, such as Engineering junior Langston MacDiarmid’s “Yogurt,” which

discussed handling failure. He began by informing the audience that he started playing the viola at age 8, adding, “I cannot emphasize enough — no one gives a sh*t about it.” College and Wharton senior and Penn Monologues Producer Aashna Desai said in her opinion, the show is truly born when the executive board spends a morning with the submitted monologues — laughing, reading and choosing which monologues speak to them and fit well together. There is only one rehearsal before the show. Most of the chosen monologues were from juniors and seniors. Desai described participating in Penn Monologues as a transitional moment where students can reflect on their experiences at Penn and share them with others going through similar things in the moment. “Not everyone up there is a performer,” she said. “Most of them do not do anything else performing arts related, this is just one

thing they do once a year or once in their Penn career.” Desai also explained the difference between Penn Monologues and the Vagina Monologues, from which the show originally stemmed. “I think the Vagina Monologues serves a whole different purpose,” she said. “The key difference is that these monologues are completely 100 percent original and there is a whole different vibe every year. It’s people talking about who they are and also the Penn aspect of that.” Though some might expect the Monologues to be critical of the University, “Penn-bashing” is not its goal, Desai said. “That’s not what anyone wants to hear and that’s not really what drives who we are,” she said. Rather, the goal is to reveal the aspects of the speakers’ lives that those who see them in their classes, meetings and social settings might not otherwise know, things about their childhood, family or inner struggles.

PPU debates merits of campaign finance reform

Members discussed impact of large campaign donors ALLY JOHNSON Contributing Reporter

84 percent of Americans believe money has too much influence in campaigns, according to a 2015 CBS poll. This sentiment has resonated on both ends of the political spectrum — both Sen. Bernie Sanders and presidential candidate and 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump tout their independence from Political Action Committees — colloquially known as Super PACs. Penn Political Union held a parliamentary-style debate on

Thursday on the utility of personal contribution limits to curb campaign spending. Students split into groups opposing or affirming the resolution: “This House would remove personal contribution limits to political parties.” Throughout the event, both sides condemned the amount of money, especially “dark” money, involved in campaigning. They criticized the power of super PACs and of the Koch brothers. Debaters disagreed about whether getting rid of the personal contribution limit to political parties would fix or worsen these problems. Students debating in favor of the resolution said political

parties must represent the interests of as much of population as possible in order to win, and therefore are democratic. They argued that parties support moderates with records of coalition-building and compromise. Large individual donors tend to donate to more extreme candidates on both ends of the political spectrum, they said. One student mentioned Ted Cruz as an example of an obstructionist who is supported by large donors instead of by his party. Opposition members argued that large donors would still donate to PACs if personal contribution limits to political parties were removed. They said removing these personal contribution

limits would only promote the interests of the wealthy over those of working-class Americans. PACs do not have to disclose their donors, whereas political parties must publish the identities of large donors, so donors who wish to remain anonymous would donate to PACs. One student argued that the government ought to be an open market of free discourse but is currently an oligopoly, a market dominated by only a few firms. He said the proposal would just add two more firms — the Democratic and Republican parties — to an already small pool of large donors. At the end of the debate, students voted on the proposition

— 23 were in support of maintaining personal contribution limits, while 14 voted to abolish them and 13 abstained from voting. While many PPU members thoroughly prepare for their debates, some come to hear the ideas of others. “A lot of people come to just watch and enjoy the debate,” College junior and Government and Politics Association President Sarah Simon said. Debaters cracked jokes with their opponents throughout the event. Several students referenced a recent incident in British Parliament, when MP Dennis Skinner was ejected from the House of Commons

for repeatedly referring to Prime Minister David Cameron as “Dodgy Dave.” PPU members had shared the viral video in Facebook groups before the event. “Objection! Madame Speaker, I ask that you ask Mr. Overfield to withdraw that adjective,” shouted College junior Samuel Byers over raucous laughter. He had been referred to as “the gentleman known as shady Sam.” Simon also joined in the joke, calling her opponent “Corrupt Korey.” “Half of the fun of this is the theatrics,” Byers said after the event. “It’s fun for everyone, and people get into that kind of backand-forth.”

Wharton’s undergrad curriculum soon to change New plan aims for flexibility with student interests ALIZA OHNOUNA Staff Reporter

Last Wednesday, the Wharton School announced a complete redesign of its undergraduate curriculum. The announcement was made in an email from Lori Rosenkopf, vice dean and director of the Wharton Undergraduate Division, and is the product of a year and a half of deliberations by the Undergraduate Curriculum Review Committee. While the specific details of the changes have yet to be determined, the new curriculum’s overarching goals are to offer students greater flexibility in pursuing academic interests outside of the Wharton curriculum, impart the lessons of “Management 100: Leadership & Communication in Groups” in a more enduring manner, add more dimensions to the Wharton core and better familiarize students with the many different ways that technology and innovation can be applied to Wharton’s concentrations. Currently, Wharton students are required to take two courses within three General Education categories: Social Structures, Language, Arts and Culture and Science and Technology. They are also required to take one additional elective in any one of those categories. The new curriculum will likely require students to take one course in each of the General Education categories and choose the other three courses based on based on their interests. The credits from these three courses can go towards a single General Education category, enabling them to more easily pursue a minor. Or, if they’d like more breadth, they can take two courses in each of the three categories as before. Another change is the complete restructuring of Wharton’s bracket system. Brackets are sets of thematically-linked courses; students must choose a few courses from each of the brackets in order to fulfill the bracket requirements.

Currently included in the bracket course options are legal studies and business ethics courses — which students are not required to take. The new curriculum will move legal studies and business ethics courses to Wharton’s Business Fundamentals — a set of Wharton courses every student must take. Students will continue to be able to concentrate in legal studies and business ethics. Rosenkopf said that this change reflects Wharton’s view that business ethics and legal studies are “a fundamental piece of a business education.” Wharton senior Alice King, who sat on the committee that developed the changes, agreed. “The curriculum would benefit from students all going through an education in ethics and [receiving] a basic understanding of the law,” she said. The brackets will be replaced by new buckets of classes from which students can choose, King said. These new courses will emphasize technology, innovation and the global economy. The bracket restructuring stems from a growing need to integrate technology into every part of a

business. “A marketing view on innovation and technology might be different from an economics and public policy view on marketing,” Rosenkopf said. All of the reforms will be reinforced by a major change to MGMT 100, a course that all Wharton students are required to take, most in their first or second semester of freshman year. “We really recognize that Management 100 was doing many things that were critically important. But it is very challenging to accomplish all of those things effectively and make the learning stick when it is all happening the first semester of freshman year,” Rosenkopf said. To impart the lessons of MGMT 100 more effectively, the single semester, single credit course will be broken up into four, 0.5 credit courses that are to be taken over the four years. Each year will emphasize a different theme of the course. Freshman year will introduce students to Wharton by challenging them to identify critical problems in business and learn about how business leaders address them. Sophomore year will emphasize oral and written communication skills for business. Junior year will focus on honing teamwork

and interpersonal skills. Senior year will culminate in a group capstone project. “Future students will get a lot out of the new Wharton education and the Penn experience,” King said. The transition from the old to the new curriculum will take place over a course of five years, with the Wharton Class of 2021 being the first class to experience all of the changes. An implementation committee

will be appointed shortly to plan how to integrate all of the changes in the coming years. This committee will have the same structure as the Undergraduate Curriculum Review Committee, which includes 10 Wharton faculty members representing each Wharton department and two student representatives, King and Wharton senior Hari Joy. The committee presented the slate of proposed changes to the

faculty last week, who later voted to approve the changes. While the voting numbers can’t be released, the curriculum had “rebounding support,” Rosenkopf said. Wharton incorporated feedback from students outside the Undergraduate Curriculum Review Committee in the form of surveys, town hall meetings, focus groups and data reports addressing specific issues, as well as informal conversations.

OPINION Taking women seriously praxis | Why transforming public discourse matters for young women

“This is good. These girls always think it will help to talk to the press, and every time they come off looking cheap.” This line from “Confirmation,” a docudrama about the Clarence ThomasAnita Hill hearings has stuck with me for days. Uttered by a Republican senator trying to push Clarence Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court in the wake of law professor Anita Hill’s accusations that Thomas sexually harassed her, this line emphasizes that it didn’t matter if Hill’s story was true or not; it mattered whether she was a convincing and smart victim of sexual harassment. Hill was taken seriously precisely because of her professionalism and her ability to speak eloquently about her victimhood, dealing a credible threat to the senators trying to push Thomas’ nomination forward. This same week, I also read journalistic accounts of the greater levels of anxiety teenage girls experience compared to males, as well

as the recent finding that, in the last 15 years, the suicide rate has climbed steeply among adolescent girls. I couldn’t help but think about the stages on which women are forced to perform both in the public eye and in their families. The way forward to improving young women’s mental wellbeings does not lay in changing family values alone; the public narrative must be transformed as well. The anxiety adolescent girls experience must be connected with the social experiences of women. One piece I read discussed the trope of the parent concerned about their underachieving son while bragging about their daughter who receives straight A’s in school. But despite her success, chances are that this successful young woman is experiencing great anxiety. “On the surface, she is the golden girl. Inside, she is falling apart.” Too many news stories and displays of public grief express shock and awe that the girls who appear to have ev-

erything going for them are turning to self-harm and even committing suicide. Of course, this trend is deeply tragic and horrific, but I do not think it is particularly surprising because the

Girls and women are constantly pressured to answer to forces outside themselves and their experiences. The golden daughter becomes the symbol of parental success and the example for other siblings to follow. Similarly, Anita Hill became a pawn in Thomas’ race politics with many accusing Anita Hill of being a

It mattered that she was disrupting the status quo, posing a viable threat to an old boys’ network where the ethos of “anything goes” reigns. For parents proud of the golden daughter, it seems to matter what her grades are and how many sports she plays. We

are not paying attention to what is going on inside her. The “she had everything” mantra is less about the experiences of women than it is about the public perception of a woman’s experience. “She had everything” is the explanation for why young women shouldn’t be falling apart inside. Anita Hill had everything: professionalism and eloquence, and was therefore credible. “She had everything” is a tool used both to elevate and encompass women’s accomplishments while at the same time dismiss their autonomy. It is the tool used to delegitimize the internal experience of anxious female adolescents — “why are you unhappy if you are performing at such a high level?” We assume that young women inevitably accept that the things we like about them are the things they like about themselves, and we are profoundly confused when this is not the case. But it is not so confusing in a world where we continue to only

After struggling in recent primaries, Donald Trump has turned to one of the more popular phrases of this election season — “the system is rigged!” Of course, there’s a reason that line of rhetoric has been so effective. As I’ve written before in previous articles, I view the rise of populist candidates like Sanders and Trump as a direct response to the plutocratic nature of our government. When a democratic government isn’t seen as reflecting the will of its citizens, then that government loses legitimacy. And when a government seems illegitimate, voters become attracted to “authentic voices.” Unfortunately, what qualifies as authentic often boils down to the Trump style of “telling it like it is,” especially if that telling taps into racist sentiments. But in the case of the primaries, Trump isn’t exactly wrong. Neither the Republican nor the Democratic nomination processes are all that democratic; as

Adam Gopnik points out in his article, “Wild Parties: In Defense of Political Factions,” they were never really meant to be. Basically, Gopnik’s argument states that parties are instruments of American democracy, not institutions within it, therefore they don’t have to operate democratically. Now while I agree that that’s technically true, try telling that to a Trump or a Sanders supporter who thinks their candidate is being cheated out of a nomination. The issue isn’t whether or not parties need to operate democratically; the issue is that voters believe they should. I don’t believe Gopnik’s wrong, but the line between instrument and institution has certainly been blurred. In many cases the influence of partisanship has overtaken real democratic institutions. Regardless of how you categorize political parties, there’s no denying that they rely on legitimacy in order to operate. And while

there’s already a lot at stake this election season, I can’t help but wonder if the fate of our political parties may also be on the table. Both Trump and Sanders supporters have threatened a break within their respective parties if their candi-

By some estimates, “Bernie or Bust” participants make up nearly 30% of all Sanders’ supporters. Given that we live on a college campus, I’m sure we all know a few of them. At the outset, a movement like Bernie or Bust seems awfully foolhardy. And that’s not to say there aren’t legitimate reasons

would surely secure a win for the Republicans. Ironically this is the same thinking behind the Bernie or Bust campaign. According to the Citizens Against Plutocracy website, the philosophy behind Bernie or Bust is that by accumulating enough pledges to the cause, Democrats will be forced to unite behind Sanders so as not to allow

a Republican in the White House. While this sort of all-ornothing hostile takeover of the Democratic party seems highly unlikely, it does point to Sanders’ influence. While his campaign has found little support in the Democratic establishment, the party has shifted left, albeit somewhat superficially, to accommodate Bernie’s supporters. Clinton herself has become so adept at adopting Bernie’s rhetoric that I wouldn’t be surprised if she delivered her next campaign speech with a thick Brooklyn accent. On the Republican side, Trump has hinted towards riots if he doesn’t receive the nomination. And despite the public chastisement he’s received from establishment figures and the talk of a brokered convention, it seems the the GOP is poised to grin and present their presumed nominee.

2016 The mission of the College Houses is to provide supportive residential communities for undergraduate students. By design, the Houses integrate the intellectual and academic experiences of the conventional classroom with those of everyday life—through programming, events, and powerful interactions between faculty, staff, and students. In support of that academic mission, the College House Deans, who serve as chief administrators of these communities, established the College House Deans Integrated Knowledge Award. The Integrated Knowledge Award honors those residents who have shown themselves able to combine their academic passions with the concerns of the day-to-day life of the College House communities they live in, and through their activities and participation have directly benefited the members of their own House.

Austin Bream Kings Court English College House

First Place Award winner

Austin Bream is a man with a passion for practical, forward-thinking sustainability. Currently serving as a Resident Advisor in Kings Court English College House, he is also working as an intern with Green Campus Partnership, running the Green Living Certification program and the Power Down Challenge. He works with the Penn Program in the Environmental Humanities as a member of the Academic Advisory Board, and he helped launch WetLand, a "mobile, sculptural habitat and public space constructed to explore resource interdependency and climate change in urban centers" (www.wet-land.org). In Kings Court English, he is developing a solar-powered, hydroponic food garden and leads House programming on sustainability and environmental issues. "Austin has unobtrusively but consistently combined acknowledgment of his responsibility to his community with expressions of his community’s responsibilities to its world. He provides an ongoing but understated example of how to integrate one’s passion for the pursuit of meaningful and tangible change with a rigorous pursuit of one’s intellectual and academic goals. He is, in short, a stellar role model for his residents, and for the residents of KCECH more broadly. And he achieves all of this without ever standing on a soap-box or stridently calling for change." — Prof. Cam Grey, College House Fellow, Kings Court English College House

Darlina Liu Rodin College House Second Place

As an RA in Rodin College House, biology major Darlina Liu strives to integrate her interests in health and wellness into the lives of her College House residents. Leveraging her experiences as a programming VP in the Leadership Residential Program and as a Caught Caring volunteer in Rodin's #rodinCARES program, she has melded her academic interests in biology and anthropology by organizing Rodin_24 dinners around the topics as diverse as gun violence and bio-photonics research. Creating events like "Fitness February" and Walk'n'Talks allows her to foster cultural change aimed at increased health and happiness in her community. "I have noticed Darlina especially in her role as co-leader of #rodinCARES. I myself have benefited from the “Take What You Need” campaign, and noted how successful such a simple and silent gesture could be... My family personally participated in the MLK Jr. Day of stairwell painting—that activity offers permanent support for generations of students to come, with the uplifting and colorful messages and images in the otherwise dreary and dirty stairwells. They make a difference in my own daily life, time and time again. And the day of painting itself is therapeutic, community-building, and memorable... Her whole-person approach, to herself and to others, is itself a healing influence." — Dr. Jamuna Samuels, College House Fellow, Rodin College House

Jared Fenton Harrison College House Third Place

Seeking solutions to remedy the ongoing mental health crisis at Penn has been a challenge for the University administration and health professionals. Also answering the call for aid is Harrison's Jared Fenton, a Penn Civic Scholar who founded Penn Reflect, a student group intended to give Penn students a place for peer support and student-run group therapy. Gathering over food like sushi and pizza, Penn Reflect welcomes students to open up to each other about what life at the University is actually like, providing opportunities for them to form supportive communities to combat stress and feelings of failure. Jared partnered with the College Houses, bringing programming to Harrison and Rodin, and his program has grown to over 300 participants and spawned offshoots to continue and spread the work of healing. "Most residents come to events looking for a source of food or something to pass the time with, but Jared engages more than others. He is one of the most passionate residents I have met so far." — Lyndsi Burcham, Social Events Coordinator, Harrison College House

Powel fourth graders march against gun violence

Need in Deed facilitated the student learning process CHARLOTTE LARACY Staff Reporter

On a weekday afternoon, most youngsters would be learning addition or practicing spelling. But this past Thursday, 2001 Graduate School of Education graduate “Doctor Joe” Alberti and “Teacher Chris” Powers’ fourth grade class at Samuel Powel Elementary School held large neon signs, marched around Powelton Village and yelled, “I matter! You matter! We matter! Guns don’t matter!” The Powel fourth grade class has been learning about gun violence in Philadelphia through a service-learning project with Need in Deed, a nonprofit that facilitates service learning in

classrooms. The students are able to choose an issue that they are interested in, and the teachers are able to incorporate the issue into the curriculum. For many of the students, Teacher Chris notes, gun violence is a very personal issue. He says that about 75 percent of his students have had someone in their life killed by guns. Many students talked about why they are marching against gun violence. One fourth grade girl said, “I have lost someone from gun violence, and I don’t want anyone else to have to suffer like I did.” According to the Philadelphia Police Department, there have been 79 homicides in 2016 so far, through April 19. In 2015, there was a total of 280 homicides. Doctor Joe said the students are also trying to fight the

notion that adults will not listen to kids and to teach other students to be civically engaged throughout their lives. “We hope to establish lifelong habits and awareness about issues that exist in the students’ communities, and by showing them that they can have a voice in making a positive change about these issues that affect them at their young age,” Joe said. “We hope to instill lifelong advocacy in our students, showing them that you can never be too young — or too old — to advocate for yourself and others in your community.” To help the students gain their voice, Need in Deed creates a framework to introduce students to many different social issues and allows the students to use their voices to choose an issue to study throughout an entire year as a group. The students have

had numerous guest speakers come to talk about guns in their community and how they can advocate for change. One of the guest speakers who also attended the march was Donna Bullock, a state representative for the 195th District and Democratic candidate for the 2nd District representative. On May 16, Bullock will bring the fourth grade class to Harrisburg to talk to other state representatives about sensible gun laws, such as HR Bill 1010. The students learned about Pennsylvania House of Representatives Bill 1010, which would expand background checks to cover the private sale of long guns. As they made their way back to the classroom, the student continued to cheer, “Listen up, everyone, put the guns down! Do it today and all year round!”

Phila. businesses, politicos conflicted about soda tax Mayor Kenney’s soda tax proposal divides Democrats CHARLOTTE LARACY Staff Reporter

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney’s soda tax proposal has created a fierce war throughout the city and has even divided the 2016 Democratic presidential candidates. In early March, Kenney, a former Fels Institute of Government instructor, introduced a plan to tax soda at 3 cents per ounce in order to fund universal preschool and other development projects that would cost $400 million over five years. The tax would apply to any beverage with added sugar, including sports drinks and sweetened teas. Diet drinks or those with sugar added at the customer’s request, such as coffees and teas, would not be taxed. CNN reported that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came out in favor of Kenney’s plan at a forum hosted by the Mothers of the Movement, a gun control advocacy organization. She argued for replacing the “school to prison pipeline” with a “cradle to college” pipeline when Kenney’s soda tax proposal came up.

“It starts early with working with families, working with kids, building up community resources ... I’m very supportive of the mayor’s proposal to tax soda to get universal preschool for kids,” Clinton said. “I mean, we need universal preschool. And if that’s a way to do it, that’s how we should do it.” Contrary to Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) opposes the soda tax because it would hurt lower and middle class residents and would perpetuate income inequality in the United States. “Making sure that every family has high quality, affordable preschool and childcare is a vision that I strongly share,” Sanders said. “On the other hand, I do not support paying for this proposal through a regressive tax on soda and juice drinks that will significantly increase taxes on low-income and middle class Americans.” Like the candidates, Philadelphia’s business leaders, academics and politicians are far from reaching a consensus on the proposal. Supporters include education advocates, the Service Employees International Union, which represents about 10,000 workers in Philadelphia and the NAACP.

obesity-related problems. Karen Glanz, Penn professor of epidemiology and nursing, expressed concern about the details on how the soda tax is implemented because the retailers could undermine the tax on sugary drinks by increasing the price of other items while keeping the price of sugary drinks low. “As a general principle, the tax is a good idea to try to reduce consumption of soda because it will work,” she said. “But when you get to the nitty gritty of it, it becomes more complicated of whether it will work.” According to a study conducted by the University of Nor t h Ca rol ina , Mex ico’s federal tax on sugary drinks reduced soda purchases. In 2015, there was an average 6 percent decrease in soda sales. The American Beverage Association recently entered the fight. The soda lobbying firm is spending at least $1.5 million to oppose his plan, which includes airing radio and television ads against the tax. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, City Council sources suggested that at least six of the 17 members were open to the tax. Philadelphians Against the

Mayor Kenney’s proposal would tax soda and other drinks with added sugar at a rate of 3 cents per ounce.

Wharton professor of business economics Robert Inman supports the proposal.

“I love this university and even though I don’t know all [the students], all of [the students] are precious to me, so I wanted to be able to add my voice to the messaging that when out,” she said. Peter Moon, college junior and co-president of student mental health group Active Minds, praised the email. “I always think it’s really great when the university acknowledges the work that student groups are doing,” he said.

He found the Help a Friend Guide helpful and well put-together. He said that many of the things listed on the Guide are in line with what the Active Minds National organization promotes, and consistent with the I-CARE training model. “It seems like the university did their research and I like that,” he said. “I thought a lot of the minor tips were important, like the theme of getting people to CAPS when it becomes something you can’t handle yourself.” Recent emails from the administration about addressing

Grocery Tax, a new coalition representing over 500 businesses, has been formed to fight the soda tax proposal and supports Sanders for standing up for small family-owned businesses, working families and the poorest communities “This tax will hurt small grocery stores like mine, which operate on thin margins and are community anchors,” Dany Vinas, owner of C-Town Supermarket in North Philadelphia and member of the coalition, said in a statement. “This tax will put my family-owned business at risk. We need support from the city, not another tax.” However, Inman notes that linking the revenue to creating preschools is crucial. “ T hese p r escho ol p r o grams are absolute home run,” Inman said. “Even though the tax is regressive, the primary beneficiary will also be the lower-income kids. The money is going back to the kids. That I think is very beneficial.” Michael Nutter, Kenney’s predecessor, and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have tried and failed to institute a soda tax. The only city that has successfully implemented a soda tax is Berkeley, California, which is only one cent per ounce.

Quakers win three, move a game back of Princeton BASEBALL | Graul’s six

RBI, five doubles lead way TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor

This weekend, Penn baseball Grauled Cornell. Fueled by an offensive explosion from junior catcher Tim Graul, the Red and Blue took three out of four games from the Big Red over the weekend to move one game behind Princeton, who narrowly maintained its lead in the Lou Gehrig division with a 10-6 Ivy record. Though they will still need to rely on Tiger losses, Penn (18-19, 9-7 Ivy) is within striking distance in the division as it heads into a season-ending four-game set versus Columbia next weekend. The Quakers started the weekend off in top-notch form Saturday, scoring early and often in a 13-2 game one rout. After a majestic home run by freshman Matt O’Neill and a two-run single by Graul fueled a 5-1 Penn lead after four, the Red and Blue struck for eight runs in the fifth. The first 10 hitters for the Quakers reached base in the frame, and every member of the lineup scored except for shortstop Ryan Mincher. “Well, they say hitting is contagious,” Penn coach John Yurkow said. “We’ve really put

two shots and one goal over the next 25 minutes. The Bulldogs scored two goals of their own. Junior goalie Britt Brown kept Yale’s offense in check in the first half, denying the Bulldogs on six of their eight shots on goal. Her play, especially in the opening frame, earned Corbett’s praise. Going into halftime, the fire that the Quakers brought to New Haven seemed to be a dying flame. Corbett knew that her team needed to channel their play from the game’s first five minutes into the second half. Yale went on a 4-1 run to start the second half and managed to tie the game at six apiece. The Quakers have had trouble in

some good swings on balls … and obviously Timmy Graul is unbelievable. He’s on fire right now.” Meanwhile, junior ha rdthrowing righty Jake Cousins fanned 11 over six innings, the highest single-game strikeout total of any Penn pitcher this season. In Saturday’s second game, the Quakers dropped their only contest of the series. After scoring twice in the game’s first inning and taking a 3-1 lead into the final third of the game, Cornell (13-19, 6-10) scored twice in the top of the seventh to tie things up. Then, Graul, in one of his seven extra-base hits of the weekend, mashed a high, long homer to left to put the Quakers up 4-3. That lead was shortlived as Cornell responded back with four runs in the eighth to pick up a 7-4 win. When the teams met back at Meiklejohn Stadium on Sunday, the first game belonged to Penn lefty Mike Reitcheck. The junior — who had been suffering through a down year after leading the Ivy League in earned run average a year ago — was in impeccable form, allowing just one run over nine innings. “His fastball command has been better these last two or three outings,” Yurkow said. “But the one thing you know

about Mike is he’s gonna compete. He’s a really tough kid.” Reitcheck kept things tied at one as the game moved through the seven regulation innings and into extras. Senior righthander Mitch Holtz took over in the top of the 10th and allowed a run on a Mark Fraser single, forcing the Quakers to have to tie in the bottom of the frame. And tie they did. Freshman designated hitter Matt O’Neill led off the frame with a double, setting the frame for Graul, who followed up with a double of his own to knot things at two. “It was really nice to come back in a game and show a little fight,” the Ivy Leader in home runs and RBI said. “I got a nice pitch to hit and just turned on it.” The Quakers then proceeded to load the bases and pick up a 3-2 walk-off win when freshman Chris Robasco — entering the game off the bench — was hit by a pitch. “We’ll take it,” Yurkow said with a smile. And in the series’ final game, the Quakers unleashed their second offensive explosion in four games. Graul was joined by the double play duo of shortstop Ryan Mincher and second baseman Matt Tola in collecting four hits as the Red and Blue scored in every inning but the third en route to a 16-5 blowout win.

maintaining leads this season, but holding on for a win on Saturday was vital to the team’s chances at an Ivy League championship. “I think it was again going back to ‘what did we do well in the first five minutes?’ We drove hard, we moved their defense, we moved the ball quickly — you’ve got to have good ball movement and attack hard against a zone. We were able to do that,” Corbett said. Sophomore midfielder Alex Condon extended her hat trick streak and scored her fourth of the day to break the tie. Her goal was assisted by senior attack Nina Corcoran, who leads the nation in assists per game. It was the third time that Corcoran assisted Condon on Saturday and the eighth time in the past five games. Corbett

She’s also a strategic cutter and a very smart cutter and has great hands,” Corbett said. “Nina feeds when she sees people open. Alex is someone

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Penn baseball needed to start the weekend strong in order to stay in contention for the Gehrig Divison title, and junior pitcher Jake Cousins did just that, striking out 11 Cornell batters and giving up one run over six innings.

Now, for the third consecutive year, the Quakers will head into the final weekend of the season with their Ivy hopes hanging in the balance. Penn will play Columbia four times — two at home on Friday followed by two in New York on

Saturday — while the Tigers will face off versus Cornell. And though Princeton still controls its own destiny as the division leader, it will be at a momentum disadvantage after dropping three of four this weekend to Columbia and

seeing its division lead shrink from three games to just one. “We just have to carry this through to this weekend,” Yurkow said. “If we continue to play the way we’re playing, we’ll definitely be in good shape.”

who is a very strategic cutter and can find the opening, and Nina sees that really well and Alex finishes really well.” After breaking the tie, the Quakers went on to put up another two goals — one from senior attack Catherine Dickinson and one from junior attack Sarah Barcia. From that point on, the Red and Blue would

tighten up, allowing just one goal in the next five minutes during Yale’s feverish attempts at a comeback. However, the Bulldogs’ efforts came to a head when sophomore at t a ck E m i ly Granger scored the team’s eighth goal with just under a minute left. Fortunately, the Quakers prevented any chance

at a goal in the final minute and left New Haven victorious, at a final score of 9-8. Just one game away from the Ivy League Tournament, Penn is now clearly in the driver’s seat to an Ancient Eight championship. The team will round out its regular season on Saturday in Ithaca, N.Y., for a tilt with Cornell.

Quakers stumble at Ivies Penn readies for Relays GOLF | Womenâ€™s squad

takes sixth, men seventh

COREY HENRY Sports Reporter

When it rains, it pours. In the final action of the season for both of Pennâ€™s golf teams, a bottom half finish was unavoidable for both squads. Faced with the task of defending their 2015 Ivy crown, the menâ€™s team found themselves in a similar situation to last yearâ€™s tournament. But after a slow start left the Quakers in seventh after the first day, the team was unable to replicate its epic seventh-to-first comeback from last year and finished the tournament in its original position. â€œGolf is a cyclical game,â€? menâ€™s coach Bob Heintz said. â€œYou try to have everyone peak at the same time, and sometimes it doesnâ€™t happen.â€? Despite shaving multiple strokes off their opening round score in subsequent rounds, the slow start put the Quakers in an early hole they had trouble climbing out of. The eventual champions Harvard came out fast and never looked back en route to their four-stroke victory over second-place Princeton. Leading the way for the Red and Blue this weekend was junior Matt Kern, who put up the lowest score on the weekend in his first tournament action of the spring semester. In his final tournament as a member of Pennâ€™s golf team, senior Patrick Oâ€™Leary struggled through injuries that hindered his performance. This weekend was a tough way to cap an otherwise successful career for the teamâ€™s only senior. â€œOâ€™Leary was a little banged

up with his shoulder still bothering him,â€? Heintz said. â€œHe didnâ€™t play up to his standards and no one else played sharp enough to help him out.â€? From the freshman struggling to find consistency early in his college career, to a captain leading the defending Ancient Eight champions this year, Oâ€™Leary made considerable strides in his four years in Philadelphia. With the Ivy League trophy set to reside in Cambridge, Mass., for the next year, the Quakers will have to go back to the drawing board to figure out a way to usurp the Crimson. While a daunting task on the surface, the team remains optimistic about its chances to contend in future years. â€œWe have to hope our incoming freshman [Eric Ganshaw] comes ready to play. We have a core group of guys that should develop over the summer,â€? Heintz added. â€œI think we should be ready to make a run again next year.â€? For the womenâ€™s team, the final tournament of the season saw the team once again finish in the bottom half of the standings. After finishing the first round in sixth place, the Quakers wouldnâ€™t rise any higher in the standings before the weekend was over. Pennâ€™s 331 in the first round put the team behind the 8-ball early as tournament leaders Harvard blitzed out to an opening-round 302. Despite improving their score in each successive round, it was not enough to catch either the eventual champion Crimson or Brown, which finished one spot ahead of the Red and Blue in sixth. â€œThe biggest thing was that we werenâ€™t sharp with our

TRACK & FIELD | Three

game,â€? womenâ€™s coach Mark Anderson said. â€œThe course would punish you if you werenâ€™t hitting the ball right.â€? Junior Isabella Rahm led the way for her squad, nearly playing her way into the All-Ivy team. With an average score of 80 over the three rounds, Rahm finished her final tournament of the season tied for 14th in the field of 35 golfers. â€œ[Rahm] has a great short game and the most difficult part of the course was the green,â€? Anderson added. â€œShe played better than anyone and did a great job adjusting throughout the weekend.â€? Unfortunately for the junior, the rest of her team wasnâ€™t able to match her level of production, leading to the doldrums the Quakers faced at the Stanwich Club. Now that both Ivy golf titles belong to Harvard, both teams will have the similar objective of finding a way to take down the Crimson. The womenâ€™s team especially will spend its summer preparing a plan to get into the top half of the Ivy League next season. With the way Harvard cruised to the title this season, Penn will need more than just one player to step up next season if it hopes to contend with the conference stalwarts. â€œThe team we brought to the Ivies was one of the best teams weâ€™ve had in the past three or four years,â€? Anderson added. â€œWhen weâ€™re playing well we can take on any team. Itâ€™s just hard to end on this note.â€? Itâ€™ll be a long wait before both of the Red and Blueâ€™s golf teams get to play in their next 54-hole tournament. Hopefully, the sting of defeat helps parlay the teams to new heights in future seasons.

records fall at Princeton

JACOB ADLER Associate Sports Editor

On Friday and Saturday, Penn track and field competed at Princeton in the Larry Ellis Invitational. In their final meet before the upcoming Penn Relays, the Red and Blue claimed four individual events and saw three program records fall. Senior captain Amy Darlington, junior Ashley Montgomery and sophomore Taylor McCork le each broke school records in their respective events. Darlington knocked almost eight seconds off her old personal and school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:20.41. She finished seventh in the race. In the 1,500m run, Montgomery placed second â€” though she finished first among collegiate athletes â€” with a 4:20.28 mark

that edged Stacy Kimâ€™s 4:20.75 time set in 2008. Perhaps the star of the weekend was McCorkle, who triumphed in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. First in the 100, she won in a close race, with two runners from Monroe College clocking in a hundredth of second behind McCorkleâ€™s 11.71. That time broke the previous Penn record of 11.75, set by Princess Lydia Ali in 2014. In the 200m, she beat the field again, but her time of 23.98 was just two-hundredths of a second short of a second school record on the day. It was, however, a personal record for McCorkle, whose previous best in the event was 24.15, set in her freshman season a year ago. Junior Noah Kennedy-White and freshman Olivia Ryan were the other Quakers to earn a win over the weekend, in the discus and 3K, respectively. KennedyWhiteâ€™s 53.68m throw bested that of Princetonâ€™s Mitchel Charles (53.29) and 17 other competitors, and Ryan finished

in 9:59.64, almost four seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Other notable performances on the menâ€™s side included sophomore Mike Monroeâ€™s placing second in the high jump, junior Nick Tuckâ€™s posting the top collegiate time en route to a second-place finish in the steeplechase, senior Ben Bowersâ€™ finishing fifth in the 110m hurdles, sophomore Jeff Wisemanâ€™s placing seventh in the 400m dash and senior Thomas Awadâ€™s coming in ninth in the 1,500. On the womenâ€™s side, sophomore Isabel Griffith placed third in the 3,000, sophomore Emily Jiang finished fifth in the long jump and Abby Hong recorded a 4:28.28 time in the 1,500 that put her at No. 8 in the Penn record book. Other Qua kers brea k ing into the all-time lists at the meet were junior Ella Wurth in the 800m as well as freshman Rachel Wilson, sophomore Sean Ryan and freshman Eric Sheng in the hammer.

total to 25. Sophomore Reilly Hupfeldt, who also scored two and now sits at 23 goals on the season, joined him in the second-half frenzy.

Rather than shooting, guys are dodging or making two or three passes. Thatâ€™s more our nature and weâ€™ve got a lot of good offensive players.â€? The Quakersâ€™ efforts resulted in a resounding victory that carried larger implications for the immediate future of Ivy lacrosse.

Having clinched the No. 3 seed in the end-of-season Ivy tournament, Penn is assured that they will have a chance to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. But the rest of the tourneyâ€™s field remains in question. While Penn has wrapped up its Ivy schedule and will play local rival Saint Josephâ€™s on Tuesday, No. 4 Yale and Harvard will battle it out in New Haven, Conn., in a match that could result in a three-way tie for second place the conference standings. Thus, Pennâ€™s opponent for the most crucial game of the season remains a very large and looming question mark. Despite this uncertainty, the Quakers must be prepared for their final game of the regular season against the Hawks. Saint Josephâ€™s will counter the youth of Penn with veteran savvy. Reigning Epoch/Lacrosse Magazine Player of the Week Mike Rastivo will lead a powerful and experienced offense, which averages 13.36 goals per game, good for fifth in the nation. The Quakers, however, led by Junkin and his band of fellow freshmen, believe that they can fend off such a storm.

For first time ever, Quakers sweep Cornell in four

SOFTBALL | Sargent gives

up one run in 15 innings NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

Penn softball came alive this week. With their first-ever fourgame sweep of Cornell, the Quakers extended their winning streak to six games after dropping three of four to Princeton last weekend. “Taking four from a team in one weekend is really difficult to do,” Penn coach Leslie King said. “The team came out with some good energy and some good confidence this weekend and got the job done.” Junior pitcher Alexis Sargent made things easy for the Red and Blue (21-19, 7-9 Ivy) in the first game of the series, pitching a complete game shutout. Allowing only three hits while striking out five, Sargent passed the 100-strikeout mark on the season for the first time in her career. After a quiet couple innings to start, a pair of Cornell errors in the

third allowed sophomore Hayley Metcalf to score before senior Lauren Li got another one across with an RBI single. Penn plated four more in the fourth inning as everyone joined in on the action. Li hit in her second run of the day after junior Leah Allen recorded her league-best 36th RBI of the season. Sargent even helped her own cause with an RBI single as the Quakers made it a 6-0 affair. The last two and a half innings breezed by quietly, as the Big Red (8-28, 3-13) failed to even get on the board. “The defense played absolutely phenomenally,” Sargent said. “So having that backup and having everybody hitting the ball on offense really gave me the confidence to do what I needed to do.” In game two, Cornell came alive, scoring four runs in the top of the first off the Quakers’ Mason Spichiger. After King brought Li in to relieve the sophomore in the second, the Red and Blue settled in. A 10-run second inning — highlighted by a three-run home run from Li — put

Penn firmly in command, although the Big Red mustered two response runs in the top of the third. A pair of runs each in the fourth and fifth sealed the deal as the Quakers run-ruled their New York rivals, 14-6. Following the offensive show Penn put on Saturday, game three on Sunday was a little quieter. With Sargent in the circle again, the Red and Blue took an early lead as freshman Sam Pederson scored on a two-out passed ball. With the Quakers up 1-0, Sargent and Cornell’s Meg Parker settled into their grooves, not allowing another run to cross until the sixth. The Big Red tied things up after freshman Madeline Avery hit a leadoff double and later scored when Leanne Iannucci hit a two-out bloop single. The tie wouldn’t hold. After Sargent drew a leadoff walk, sophomore catcher Jurie Joyner smashed a ball over the left field fence to put Penn back on top, 3-1, before Sargent finished things off — yielding only four hits on the

day. “She looked much looser today, looked a lot stronger physically,” King noted. “I thought she just did an outstanding job.” Li took the mound for the Quakers in the weekend’s final contest, quickly settling in after yielding a run in the first. Things remained static at 1-0 as the Red and Blue were held hitless until Allen got on base with an infield single in the fourth. Following a walk for Sargent, Joyner got Penn on the board, plating Allen with an RBI double down the left field line. The Quakers took the lead an inning later as sophomore Hayley Metcalf scored on an error. In the sixth, the Red and Blue scored three more insurance runs, making it 5-1 headed into the final frame. Cornell made a run in the seventh, loading the bases with nobody out. King elected to bring Sargent back in to pitch, and the junior was able to finish things off after a pair of RBI hits, closing out the weekend with a 5-3 victory.

TOP TEN

With a trio of school record performances in the 100-meter (via Taylor McCorkle), 1500m (Ashley Montgomery) and steeplechase (Amy Darlington), women's track and ﬁeld made its mark at the Larry Ellis Invitational.

Tim Graul blasted two homers to go along with ﬁve doubles this weekend, giving him the Ivy lead in home runs and RBI as the Quakers took three of four from Cornell.

As softball swept Cornell for the ﬁrst time ever, pitcher Alexis Sargent carried the team, giving up just one run across 15 innings of work.

Nina Corcoran had ﬁve more assists on Saturday to increase her nationwide lead in the category, and women's lacrosse picked up a huge win over Yale to close in on an Ivy title.

Men's lacrosse goalie Reed Junkin put on a masterclass against Dartmouth on Saturday. The freshman blocked 17 of the Big Green's 36 shots, including several point-blank attempts. His team downed Dartmouth, 11-4.

Although men's track and ﬁeld didn't break any records, dominant efforts from Thomas Awad in the 1500 meter and Noah Kennedy-White in the discus ensured that the squad is nearing peak form entering the Penn Relays.

Playing in the No. 1 spot, freshman Kyle Mautner won the match-deciding point for men’s tennis against No. 48 Princeton in a dramatic three-set duel as the Quakers won their Senior Day, 4-3.

The three rowing squads each logged a series of second-place ﬁnishes, with the heavyweights coming within a mere half-second of ending Harvard's 16-year run as Adams Cup champions.

Women's lacrosse couldn't afford a loss if it wanted to stay atop the Ivy League — and thanks to four goals from sophomore midﬁelder Alex Condon,, the Quakers escaped Yale with a 9-8 victory.

Isabella Rahm was named to the All-Ivy team after averaging a score of 80 over the weekend, but failed to power women’s golf past a disappointing sixth-place ﬁnish.

Ivy win sets tourney spot SANJAY DURESETI Sports Reporter

Sports fans know how much numbers matter. For the men’s lacrosse team, though, only one number means anything to them right now — three. On Saturday, the Quakers traveled to Hanover, N.H., to take on a Dartmouth team that had notched just one win all season. Unfortunately for the Big Green, that statistic remained intact. By submitting an all-around effort on both sides of the field, Penn closed out its Ivy schedule with an 11-4 beatdown. In doing so, the Quakers (8-5, 4-2 Ivy) logged a 4-2 Ivy record for the third time in six years, extended their winning streak to three games and, most importantly, clinched the

No. 3 seed in the Ivy League Tournament. Despite the offensive balance displayed by the Red and Blue against the hapless Dartmouth (1-12, 0-5) defense, it was Penn’s performance on defense that sealed the deal. Goalkeeper Reed Junkin, who had recently tapered off after a transcendent start to the season, was nothing short of spectacular against the Big Green. The freshman, who ranks 11th nationally in shots blocked per game, was critical to the Quakers’ effort, blocking 17 of Dartmouth’s 21 shots on goal. The nimble underclassman snagged several point-blank attempts with his excellent footwork and stick skills. “Today, [Junkin] really stepped up,” Penn coach Mike Murphy said. “The defense and the goalie work together. As the goalie makes more of those saves, the defense gets confidence in him and, as a

result, the defense responds.” Without Junkin’s heroics, the Quakers might not have been as pleased with the match’s outcome, as Dartmouth was able to win the battles in several key statistics. With Dartmouth accruing fewer turnovers as well as more man-up opportunities and ground balls than its opponent, the case can be made that the Big Green outplayed the Red and Blue. The scoreboard, however, never lies. A closely contested first half that saw Penn build a slim two-goal lead gave way to a high-octane attack by the Quakers later on. As has been the narrative throughout the season, underclassmen carried the Red and Blue offense to success. Freshman Simon Mathias, who has scored at least one point in each match this season, notched two goals to bring his team-best SEE M.LAX PAGE 10

Another conference game, another win for Penn women’s lacrosse. After being upset in their second Ivy League contest against Dartmouth, the Quakers have won their last four against Ancient Eight opponents, including a 9-8 victory Saturday over Yale. After handily dispatching Princeton on Wednesday, the Red and Blue (11-3, 5-1 Ivy) brought their offense’s fire to New Haven, Conn., scoring four goals in five minutes on five shots. Coach Karin Corbett knew that her team wanted a win over Yale (5-9, 2-4) but was impressed by the team’s play in the opening minutes.
