THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
New lock system met with mixed reaction SARAH FORTINSKY Staff Reporter
The process of installing a digital lock system across Penn’s campus has just hit its halfway point, overcoming some backlash from students along the way. Residential Services has been gradually installing new digital security systems since the summer of 2016, after completing a pilot project in Gregory College House in 2015. But when the installations at the gates outside the Quadrangle
started around November, the long lines caused students to complain that the new system was inefficient and difficult to use. The opposition first came toward the end of fall semester. Students posted several petitions protesting the new system at the entrances of buildings, at Wawa and on social media. But John Eckman, director of Residential Services, said administrators did
not receive a petition in any formal capacity. Eckman said he saw the petitions posted on campus, which prompted him to reach out to the information desk workers at college houses, the Residential Advisory Board and residential advisors to ask them what they had heard from students. “If people were upset, we wanted to get right on it and figure
out how to fix it,” Eckman said. “So that’s when we did the YouTube video. We were like, ‘Okay, people are getting frustrated with how to get in the gate, so let’s do this, let’s get guards, let’s help people figure out how to use it.’” Director of Communications and External Relations Barbara Lea-Kruger did not name the specific cost of hiring the extra staff, but she said Business Services did
not exceed their original budget of $7.85 million. While the explanatory YouTube video and added security staff did help shorten the long lines, some students said even toward the end of last semester that they still noticed issues. College freshman Caroline Terens, who lives in the Quad, said she noticed a difference SEE LOCKS PAGE 5
New Wharton language requirement sparks debate
Sweetgreen moves to cash-free, paperless system
Wharton freshmen will only have to take two semesters of a language
Penn’s Sweetgreen will reopen Wednesday, Jan. 17
BECCA LIEBERMAN Staff Reporter
CHRIS DOYLE Staff Reporter
The Wharton School has made several curriculum changes for the incoming class, among them reducing the foreign language requirement from four semesters to two. This change will only affect students entering Wharton in the fall of 2017 or later, not students currently enrolled. Scott Romeika, Wharton’s director of academic affairs and advising, explained that the school’s decision to reduce the foreign language requirement acted as an attempt to modernize the curriculum. “Some of it is timing, but also just the opportunity to put out a cutting-edge 21st century business education,” he said. He mentioned that many other top business schools were swapping out the language requirement for more in-depth business or leadership course opportunities. “It’s to acknowledge the role that technology, innovation [and] analytics is playing in the world,” he added. While Undergraduate Chair of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures Julia Verkholantsev recognizes that Wharton can

College senior ignites friendships with Phila. food
Dining club organizes restaurant trips across Phila. BRIAN ZHONG Staff Reporter
A plate of vitello l’angolo suddenly appears on the dinner table. Soon, the rest of the strangers eating together receive their meals and devour their food while getting to know each other. This scenario is what College senior Sarah Litwin had in mind when she began an intiative to bring people together over Philadelphia food. Last Wednesday, Litwin sent out a Google form to different student groups such as PennQuest and Bloomers, inviting four or five students to a meal at a Philadelphia restaurant. The form lists more than 10 restaurants, including L’Angolo Ristorante and Talula’s Garden, that Litwin wants to visit during her last semester at Penn. “A lot of people on Penn’s campus tend to stay inside the bubble and so I’m hoping that this

as her, and we met in Barcelona and went to this breakfast place, and she asked the waiter for three entrees,” Schwartz said. “The waiter proceeds to show her how
big the plates are and she still orders the three entrees.” “She’ll make seven Restaurant Week reservations of various sizes and randomly starts inviting people and seeing if they’re interested,” Weiss added. Litwin hopes to share her passion of exploring restaurants with more people through her initiative. “I don’t see a ton of opportunities for students that have a common desire to eat together off campus.” Litwin said. “People are present when you’re eating ... It’s a really communal experience, and I grew up with family dinners being an important part of my life.” Although anyone can participate in the initiative, Litwin states that upperclassmen and adventurous people stand to benefit the most from dining with her. “I think it would make most sense for… adventurous people, people who either went abroad or want to go abroad, enjoy traveling, seeing things,” Litwin said. “Sometimes it’s the journey too.
Sometimes I like to run to restaurants, walk back, work off the food I just ate.” Litwin’s penchant for organizing restaurant trips led to some unusual experiences while eating out. “We were walking back from dinner and we were pranked by a zombie on the street,” Weiss said. “The prank zombie was scaring people on the street and filming their reactions. The video has over six million views.” While people who decide to dine with Litwin may not encounter a prank zombie, they will surely walk away with an adventure unlike anything they’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. “She’s incredibly friendly with the waiters,” Schwartz said. “She actually has a note on her phone. But at Copa, for example, every waiter she’s ever had she’s written down so she can go in and say ‘Bob, it’s Sarah! Remember me?’” After all, friendliness is essential to bringing people together. And in Sarah Litwin’s mind, so is food.

Penn professors assess the legacy of President Obama Economic recovery singled out as major achievement HARI KUMAR Staff Reporter
Wit h P resident Ba rack Obama’s time in office coming to an end this Friday, many professors in Penn’s Political Science Department are analyzing the legacy that he has left behind. They have a diverse set of opinions on Obama’s policies and how they will endure moving forward. “We are entering a period of unusual uncertainty,” professor Rogers Smith said. “So we cannot say for certain how his legislation will change over the next four years.” The interviewed professors all had different ideas about what Obama’s signature achievement is. In the unlikely
circumstance that Republicans in Congress do not repeal it, professor Marc Meredith believes that the Affordable Care Act is what President Obama will be remembered for in the long run. Sm it h, mea nwh i le, be lieves the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which brought the United States out of the 2008-2009 recession, is Obama’s major accomplishment. However, all three professors agreed that under Obama’s presidency, the divide between Democrats and Republicans grew to historic proportions. “We are in a time of heightened polarization. There is no longer that ‘E Pluribus Unum’ belief that America was founded upon,” Smith said. Especially after a presidential election that separated so
many people based on their political outlooks, Smith believes that it is vital that citizens start to unify. Other professors see teaching moments as well. Meredith said that the tone of the 2018 midterm elections will be important in determining the future of America’s political landscape. Professor Dawn Teele said she believes that Penn students can learn a lot from President Obama’s attitude. “Obama has that undying optimism and the belief that you can empathize with everyone. Penn undergraduates should take this moment to not only organize politically but also dedicate themselves to public service,” Teele said. She said she has hope that Penn students will work hard to promote the rights of all Americans, regardless of their race,

gender or socioeconomic condition. “Your 20s are the absolute best time to pursue your passion,” Teele said. “People have to stick to their roots and make a difference in their local communities.” She emphasized that Penn students should not only focus on pre-professional activities, but also on projects that make a substantial impact on their local communities. President Obama himself started in local politics as a state senator in Illinois, after spending years as a Chicago community organizer. “He will be remembered as genuinely historic [for being] the first person of AfricanAmerican descent to lead a Western nation,” Smith said. “He is one of the most decent human beings to ever hold the office.”

Although Obama’s economic recovery efforts and health care reform were well received, all three professors noted political divisiveness.

This semester will be my last one at Penn. I recently discovered that I have accumulated enough credits to graduate a year in advance. And while I am incredibly excited about saving a year’s worth of tuition and cannot wait to see what the next phase of my life will bring, I’ve also found myself grappling with a lot of strange feelings about the idea of leaving Penn early. It hit me the other day that I have less than five months left at Penn to finish everything that I want to finish. Less than five months to begin and complete all the different projects I’ve been itching to work on, less than five months to take advantage of as many of Penn’s resources as I possibly can. Less than five months before my preoccupations will inevitably shift from issues at Penn that I want to tackle to the issues of whatever job I’ll hold in whatever city I’ll be living in. We all come to Penn wanting to leave our mark on this university in some
way or another. We enter as wide-eyed freshmen, a little giddy at the idea of attending Penn, a little nervous about living in the dorms and meeting so many new people and trying to navigate our way around a new campus and a new city. We picture ourselves having intellectual conversations with our hallmates until the wee hours of the morning, we imagine ourselves attending parties and finding significant others and learning to drink coffee. Yet many of us will discover, or feel, as we settle into the rhythms of Penn life, that the pre-college visions we had of collegiate life were not completely accurate. Even one of the best universities in the world has its problems — problems that we often spend significant portions of our college careers trying to expose, come to terms with and solve. And so here I am, five months from graduation, overwhelmed with all the different things about Penn
that I want to change, all the different aspects of college and adulthood that I want to address and discuss in this column. There is simply so much. And I can’t help but feel like I’m running out of

But at the end of the day, this is the truth at the core of all of our college careers. Most of us only have four years at Penn in the first place. Talk to any administrator on campus about creating a brand-new initiative or altering a certain policy and you’ll discover that they conceptualize everything using a totally differ-

We don’t have much time to make Penn the campus we want it to be, or institute the clubs we want to institute, all while being full-time students. And this gap, between the Penn we experience and the Penn we want to create for ourselves and for the future, can be extremely frustrating and
demoralizing. At the same time, it is indisputable that the Penn we know and experience now is different from the Penn of 10, five, even two years ago, just as the Penn that others will experience two, five and 10 years in the future will be different from the one that we know now. Penn as an institution is constantly changing, and, although it’s kind of strange to think about it in this way, it will outlive us all. This transgenerational aspect of Penn can seem formidable and intimidating. How can we ever leave our mark on such an institution in four years? Yet the fact is that we do. Even when it seems like not enough people are coming to the events we hold, or not enough people are reading the words we write, or not enough people are listening to what we say, we are nonetheless holding events, we are writing, we are speaking. We are leaving our mark. I firmly believe that ev-

SROL WITH IT | How to make the most of your time at Penn Tuition at the University of Pennsylvania for the 2016-2017 academic year is $45,556. If you assume a course load of 4.0 course units, you’re spending more than $100 per hour of class time. During your time at Penn, you’re sitting in a classroom for over 1,500 hours, and you are interacting with a minimum of 30 different professors, all of whom are experts in their respective fields. The education you’re receiving at Penn is in many ways the basis of the rest of your life and the basis of your career. We have all been hearing the same spiel from adults in our lives about why school is important since we started kindergarten. I’m not here to argue this point. If you don’t believe in the value of your education and the value of a Penn education itself, you probably wouldn’t be here. What I’m here to discuss is why you should care about what’s happening in your education — not just what you may be learning in
the classroom, but what is going on around Penn and in higher education in general. Something I am frustrated with at Penn is when people complain about what’s happening around them but don’t make an effort to understand and solve the problem. Yes, you may be right that the curve in this class stinks or the structure of that class may not be as conducive to learning as the professor intended it. Still, what good does sitting around and venting about it do? It might make you feel better for a bit, but at the end of the day, you still go to bed with the same lack of satisfaction and resolution. What I think is great about Penn is that there are tons of people across the University who are dedicated to improving the Penn education. Penn is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its students. Administrators work to engage students from across the University for feedback to understand their needs. While it may not always
be transparent, many faculty, administrators and students alike dedicate a lot of time and energy to thinking of innovative and practical solutions to issues that affect students and their academics.

You are an integral piece of this university, and you can have a voice in the way your education is manifested.” For example, when students wanted more opportunities to pursue global research and engage with policies that affect the entire world, the Perry World House was created. Additionally, a group of students has been working with the deans and the provost’s office to reduce the extraneous costs that are required in various courses. I agree that there is al-
administrators is the same: to make the Penn education the absolute best that it can be. If there is one thing you can take away from reading this, it’s that you shouldn’t sit by and let your education happen to you. Be an active participant in your education and what is happening in your education. Shout loudly when you support the way something is be-
ing done. Shout even louder when there is something you want to see changed. You are an integral piece of this university, and you can have a voice in the way your education is manifested. There are so many people who are here to listen. Come to Student Committee on Undergraduate Education office hours to share issues of academic importance that you want to see improved. Attend an Undergraduate Assembly GBM to discuss problems you are having with student life or Penn in general. Share your experiences with your academic advisors. Talk to faculty about their courses, and tell them what you liked and didn’t like about your time in their class. I promise that most of them really want to hear what you have to say. Most of all, don’t let four years go by and end up looking back on them thinking about what you didn’t like about Penn. Be a voice for change at the University and actively participate in the changes that are happening
SHAWN SROLOVITZ across Penn. One of my favorite quotations from President Obama is, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” This could not be more applicable to your time at Penn. We are here at Penn for our education, and we need to be the change that we seek.

after staff members were placed at the entrances. But after her lecture of primarily freshmen ended, she said there would still always be a long line outside of the Quad that didn’t exist before the installment. Terens said she also felt frustrated that students were not informed of why the system was changed. “There was really no explanation for the system change and it’s less productive than the old system,” Terens said. “It doesn’t really make sense why they would change it and why it would be causing so many problems.” Even among workers at the information center at the front of the Quad, few knew the exact reason for this change. “I heard some people who work here complain about it, saying that the touching pad doesn’t really work, and some
people like it because it looks new, like it looks advanced,” College senior Jamie Han said, who is a student worker in the information center. “But I felt that, if the school is updating it and continuing to update it in more and more places, there must be a reason behind it. Maybe it’s more cost-efficient.” The new swipe-in system is just one element in a larger project that extends across campus and ultimately aims to replace all manual locks with digital card systems. Officially starting with New College House at the start of the year, all on-campus residential houses now have digital systems installed on the outside of student suites. Student rooms in the Quad are the last to undergo the transition to the digital system. This process began during winter break and is likely to extend through the end of the spring semester because half of all manual locks in need of replacement exist in

US thinking about its global role, however, has not kept pace with these changes. Among the most significant developments has been the emergence of China as America’s principal strategic rival.

He was born in China and spent much of his youth there during the upheavals of World War II and the communist revolution. He joined the US Foreign Service immediately after graduating from Princeton in 1956, retiring 45 years later with the rank of Career Ambassador, the highest in the service. During a career focused on East Asia and the Soviet Union, his ambassadorial assignments included Singapore, the People’s Republic of China, and Indonesia. His final post with the State Department was as Assistant Secretary for Intelligence and Research. On retirement he joined Kissinger Associates, Inc., a strategic consulting firm, moving to the Wilson Center in 2008 to head the newly created Kissinger Institute. In 2001 he received Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson Award for Distinguished Public Service.

make decisions independently, she said she wishes there had been more communication with the College of Arts and Sciences and the language faculty. She added that she thinks people should have tremendous educational exposure to at least one other language, regardless of field of study. “In this international climate,” she said, “you would think that learning a foreign language… is extremely important.” Verkholantsev also thinks that Wharton’s action could potentially limit students. “It means that students who want to … improve their language skills won’t be able to do
that because with this requirement, they will have to focus on something else.” Romeika sees the situation as offering students more options, not fewer. While he views general education requirements as important, he also said he believes curriculum changes are necessary to provide students with the best business school education. Executive Director of Language Instruction for the School of Arts and Sciences Christina Frei said she understands that Wharton’s curriculum change is meant to improve the undergraduate business school experience for students. Nevertheless, she sees the reduction in language exposure as a pity. “It’s a shame not to have a
longer period of time to be exposed to language and culture because both of them are very much connected at Penn,” she said. “It’s not only about a language requirement,” she added. “Within that you also learn a lot about the cultures.” Frei believes that since Wharton is a school with an aim to produce future leaders, it is important for leaders, in what can be a divided society, to be knowledgeable about other languages and cultures. “If you’re in the business of training future leaders of the United States and also globally, I think it’s a responsibility … to really make sure that there is a solid understanding of different cultural practices, products and perspectives.”

restaurant — quick, healthy food. Predicting a reduction in transaction time of about 10 percent, Neman and Jammet said their new decision brings Sweetgreen into a 21st century business model. “We’re working on ASAP ordering,” Neman said to Fast Company. “So it will be much more like Uber, where it says you can have your salad in six minutes or eight minutes… [Jammet and I] believe the future is hyper-experimental and hyper-convenient.” The prospect of losing cashpaying customers did not faze the Sweetgreen owners. Over the past several years, they’ve seen a trend away from payment in hard money, which leads them to believe they won’t lose significant business. “Cash has become such a
smaller piece of our tender,” Jammet told Fast Company. “Now all stores are between 10 percent and 15 percent [for cash transactions].” Some University City customers remain skeptical of the transition. Drexel student Abby Whalen was annoyed when she saw the new Sweetgreen sign advertising the cashless transition. “I think it’s just silly to rule out cash when it’s still such a big thing. Cash is still really prevalent,” Whalen said. “When I go [to Sweetgreen] I usually use cash.” A recent Gallup poll found that 22 percent of consumer still make half their payments with cash, and 10 percent of Americans even use cash exclusively. A November report filed by the San Francisco Federal Reserve suggests that cash is still “the most frequently used consumer payment instrument.”
Other students were worried about what a cashless system may mean for low-income residents who may not have bank accounts. College sophomore Daniel Pitt expressed these fears. “It probably won’t affect [the students here at Penn],” Pitt said. “But I think [the cashless transition] is a horrifying way of excluding the poor from our society.” Pitt’s fears are founded in statistics as well. According to a September Fortune article, 7 percent of Americans do not have bank accounts. Still, many who work in the food industry understand Sweetgreen’s decision. Lenisha, a Cosi waitress who did not want to give her last name for privacy reasons, likes the idea of not using cash. “It’s easier,” she said. “It’s faster to pay with a card, and most people who buy from here have a card anyway.”

Penn graduate caught for anti-Trump vandalism Duncan Lloyd faces community service hours WESLEY SHEKER Staff Reporter
Duncan Lloyd, the 2006 College graduate who was connected to anti-Trump vandalism at a grocery store, did not face charges but will complete 40 hours of community service as required by his employer at the City Solicitor’s Office. During the incident on Nov. 25, a security camera at the Fresh Market in Chestnut Hill captured Lloyd filming or taking photos of an accomplice as he spraypainted the words “F**k Trump” on the wall of the grocery store. On Dec. 12, First Deputy City Solicitor Craig Straw said Lloyd would remain at his job, but would have to complete 40 hours of community service. The Solicitor’s office did not respond to a request for further
comment. The Philadelphia Republican Party released a statement after the incident, criticizing the muted response by the Solicitor’s office in reprimanding Lloyd. “I think it’s pretty obvious that if the situation had been the reverse, if it had been ‘F**k Hillary’ vandalism committed by an active city employee, there would have been such an uproar that he would have been fired,” Philadelphia Republican Party spokesman Albert Eisenberg told The Daily Pennsylvanian. “What conservative people believe is that we don’t get fair treatment by the media, and we don’t get fair treatment by the cartel of Democrats running our city government.” The Duncan Lloyd anti-Trump vandalism incident was one of a series of election-related incidents since the conclusion of the presidential election. The Philadelphia
Commission on Human Relations investigated 38 hate crimes since election day until Jan. 10 when the report was published — more than are investigated in an average year. The majority of these have been perpetrated against groups that have been subjects of Presidentelect Trump’s rhetoric in the past. Eisenberg said that the Philadelphia GOP decries hate crimes and referenced a statement released by Chairman Joe DeFelice after significant public backlash to the group’s lack of a statement in the aftermath of several hate crimes, including the racist GroupMe incident at Penn. Eisenberg did not attribute the rise in hate crimes to President-elect Donald Trump, although he acknowledged that there are “extreme fringes” in both political parties. “Do I love all of [Trump’s] rhetoric? No. Do I think some of his supporters are racist? Yes,

probably. I also believe there are some Hillary supporters that antagonize police officers, and conduct other inappropriate forms
of political activity,” Eisenberg said. “If the situation was reversed, I believe [Lloyd] would have been fired. I think that is the definition
of a double standard, and people are going to get angrier and angrier until they are treated with the same standard.”

Swimmers split results in one home meet of 2017 SWIM & DIVE | Harvard
wins, Brown loses SAM ALTLAND Sports Reporter
Once again, Harvard ruined a perfect afternoon. In their first, last and only home meet of the season, the Penn men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams hosted Brown and Harvard for the final Ivy competition of
the regular season. But while both the men and women knocked off Brown by scores of 215.5-82.5 and 181-119, respectively, Senior Day was spoiled for the 18 outgoing members of Penn’s roster by Harvard, which beat the men, 206-88, and the women, 165-135. The women’s events started off in exciting fashion in the day’s first event, the 200-yard medley relay. Sophomore Libby Jardeleza, senior Haley Wickham, freshman Wendy Yang and senior Rochelle Dong
scratched out a victory by one onehundredth of a second over Brown (5-3, 2-3 Ivy) with a time of 1:43.86, after trailing in the race from the start. Dong, who anchored the relay, also picked up wins in the last home meet of her illustrious Penn career by capturing the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly in times of 23.28 and 55.79. “I still don’t think I’ve wrapped my head around the fact this is the last time we’re swimming here, and it’s absolutely crazy to think we’ll be leaving after being here for so long,� Dong said. “It’s bittersweet for sure, but I’m really happy with how we swam today.� The second event, the 1000-yard freestyle, also went the Quakers’ (7-3, 4-3) way featuring a Penn sweep, as junior Carolyn Yang’s time of 10:04.42 placed her atop the podium, and sophomore Madison Visco (10:09.68) and freshman Grace Ferry (10:09.97) were good for second and third. The 200-yard butterfly also saw multiple podium spots for Penn, as sophomore Nancy Hu touched up first in 2:02.08, with junior Annie Tran flowing close behind her with a 2:04.68, good for third place. Senior Haley Wickham clocked a 1:05.02 in the 100-yard breaststroke, good for second place, and in the 200 breaststroke, freshman Serena Xue and junior Sydney Tan claimed the top two finishing times of 2:20.13 and 2:20.88, respectively.

fair share of open shots but couldn’t bring the firepower to punish the Quakers. Despite Penn’s game with Brown (10-5, 1-1) the next day, McLaughlin’s starters continued to play hard well into the fourth quarter even with the comfortable buffer. “I wanted to try and draw some momentum into tomorrow,� he said. “I didn’t want to stumble to the finish line.� Safe to say there was no

close meet at the halfway point, Penn managed to keep the meet tight with some strong secondhalf events, but ultimately couldn’t catch the Crimson (5-0, 5-0), who sealed the contest with a first-place finish in the final race, the 400 freestyle relay. “I was thrilled with how close we are to Harvard, and I thought our women did a phenomenal job today,� coach Mike Schnur said. “We took a whole lot of events from them, and a couple tenths of a second here and there and it’s a whole different meet.� On the men’s side, Harvard (8-0, 5-0) once again spoiled the day for the Quakers, though the Red and Blue did salvage a split by comfortably dispatching Brown (5-3, 2-3). After silencing the home crowd by setting a pool record in the first event, Harvard went on to set
an additional five Sheerr Pool records in the 200 freestyle, the 200 backstroke, the 200 breast, the 100 butterfly, and the 200 IM. For Penn (7-3, 4-3), though, senior Kevin Su was among the bright spots on an otherwise frustrating afternoon. The California native placed second in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:39.16, placed third in the 100yard freestyle, and combined with fellow seniors Zach Fisher and Michael Wen and freshman Chris Nicholson to place second in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:04.06. Sophomore Mark Blinstrub also picked up important points by swimming a 50.07 in the men’s 100-yard backstroke, good for second place, and junior Hunter Brakovec swam to a second place finish in the 200 butterfly with a 1:51.14.
Sophomore Thomas Dillinger ended up on the podium in all four events he swam in on Saturday, with second-place finishes in the 200 medley relay, the 100 free, the 200 IM and a third-place finish in the 50 free. Despite the team’s mixed overall results, there were still plenty of smiles poolside at the end of the Ivy racing season, as the team’s focus begins to turn toward bigger meets. “I think we feel really good going into the championship racing season, especially with all the hard work we have been putting in over the last few weeks,� senior Grant Proctor said. “That can sort of take away from the dual meet season as we’ve seen, but it definitely adds up to more success at the end of the year, and that’s what’s most important to us.�
stumbling on Saturday night. McLaughlin’s side handedly defeated the visiting Bears by a 26point margin and recorded its best shooting of the season by going 55.7 percent from the field. The meeting was touted as a test of Penn’s championship-winning defense. This season Brown has displayed one of the most potent offenses in the Ancient Eight, leading the league with an average of 75 points per game that included a 98-88 win over Princeton on Friday night. “We didn’t want to get into an open-court shootout with them,� McLaughlin said. “That’s the style they play. I thought we had to control the tempo.� The Bears, however, were no match for the league leaders, who had limited their opponents to less than 52 points per game on
average. A nine-point run in the second quarter put some distance between the two sides. Building off of her strong performance from Friday, Ross once again jumpstarted the Red and Blue attack. “I put up more shots than I had last year, and tonight was just my night I guess,� Ross said. The junior guard had 14 points in the first half alone and would go on to end the night with a tally of 19 points, shooting 70 percent from the field and going three-for-three from long range. Going into the second half, the Quakers led 44-32 and continued to assert their dominance throughout the third quarter, extending the buffer to 18 points before the final period of play. It was a relatively quiet game for McLaughlin’s starters, as
sophomores Ashley Russell and Aghayere and junior Beth Brzozowski saw good amounts of playing time. Senior center Sydney Stipanovich had no problem kept things under control in the front-court as the offensive did work. By the fourth quarter, it was clear that a rout was underway, as the Red and Blue rolled to an 86-60 finish. Brown’s bench, whose voices filled the arena during the first three quarters, had gone silent by the end of the night. The two wins at the Palestra were as good a start that the Quakers could have asked for as they enter a five game stretch of home contests. “We stayed mentally strong for both games,� Ross added. “And I think that showed how we’re going to play for the rest of the season.�
WRESTLING
Bethea never trailed. He got ahead 5-2 in the first thanks to a pair of takedowns and, though Stanford’s Paul Fox was able to make it 8-7 in the final period, Bethea was able to hold him off in the final seconds to seal the win. “I could hear the crowd — the crowd was really loud the whole
match, even before I stepped on the mat they were loud and that just gave me a lot of energy,� Bethea said. “It was really fun — I was kind of relieved that the match was over finally and we got a win.� The finish was decisive, but the start had set the tone. And the Quakers pulled off the upset.
Meanwhile, the men (4-4, 1-1) also beat No. 9 Dartmouth 8-1, but first lost to No. 4 Harvard (4-0, 3-0) by the same scoreline. Sophomore Karim Hussein in the No. 2 spot was the only one to eek out a win for the hosts, while everyone else fell to the Crimson — including the team’s top player, Marwan Mahmoud, whose perfect start to the season came to an end. The tables turned on Sunday against Dartmouth (3-4, 1-2), when Hussein was the only Quaker to lose
a match, and everyone else won, with most contests ending quickly in straight sets. The men’s team can now rest until next weekend, but the women are still deep in the thick of four consecutive days of competition. Harvard and Dartmouth were just the first two matches, with Trinity and Drexel the latter two on Monday and Tuesday nights. If they continue to perform to expectation, then they should have two more victories by next weekend.

Dartmouth, and so the rest of the lineup all played up a spot in her absence.

YALE 68 60 PENN
BROWN 82 70 PENN
Quakers remain winless in Ivy after tough losses M. HOOPS | Team loses
to Yale by 8, Brown by 12 JACOB SNYDER Associate Sports Editor
Penn men’s basketball coach Steve Donahue is not one to overreact. But after losing both legs of a weekend doubleheader, things are going from bad to worse for the Quakers in conference play. The team’s Ivy Tournament hopes took a serious dent this weekend, as both the Yale Bulldogs and Brown Bears stormed into the Palestra and handled the Quakers, by scores of, 68-60, and, 82-70, respectively. The Red and Blue played most of both games from behind. Worryingly, as both games wore on, a lack of offensive execution doomed any hopes of a Penn comeback in either matchup.
On Friday, the Bulldogs started a much taller lineup than the Quakers (6-8, 0-3 Ivy), so competing on the boards was naturally going to be a challenge. As the game progressed, it proved to be just that — Yale (9-6, 1-1) out-rebounded Penn 42-31, including 10 offensive rebounds. Too often for the Red and Blue, a good defensive possession would be spoiled by a second-chance bucket. Despite the rebounding disadvantage, coach Steve Donahue maintained that the size advantage for Yale only played a significant role because of the poor shooting from the Quakers. “They’re a good rebounding team,” Donahue said. “We play a smaller lineup like a lot of teams in our league do. When you go up against a team like Yale that’s more traditional, you have to match that physicality. One of the reasons we play small is to get those open shots
on the perimeter, and they weren’t falling tonight.” The positives were few and far between for the Red and Blue on the night, but one big plus for the Quakers was the scoring from sophomore guard Jackson Donahue. With the rest of the team struggling to get going on offense, it was Donahue who kept Penn in the game early in the second half. If the Quakers can heat up Donahue, who was a solid scorer during stretches last season, they have a real chance to get results against the tougher opponents in the Ivy League. After a quick turnaround, the Red and Blue squared off with Brown on Saturday. A frantic opening few minutes featured both offenses putting up points, a trend that would continue for nearly the entirety of the game. Noticeably for the Quakers, Matt
Howard, who had been struggling to score in the first two Ancient Eight clashes, showed a renewed shooting stroke, getting into double figures by halftime. “If we’re going to win, Matt is going to be a consistent scorer,” Donahue said. “He’s an integral part of what we’re doing. I think he played hard tonight.” However, it was Brown (10-8, 1-1) who took a 36-31 lead into the intermission. Penn made a couple determined scoring runs during the second half, but the efforts eventually fell short as the Bears pulled away in the final minutes to hands the Quakers an 82-70 loss. Whether it be offense or defense, the improvements need to come quickly for the Quakers. Looking at the next few Ivy games, it does not get any easier for the Red and Blue.

After a three-half-long scoring drought, Matt Howard came alive against Yale and Brown, a lone offensive highlight on the weekend.
Princeton will all be stern tests for a team that still has its sights on an Ivy League Tournament berth. On the topic of the conference tournament, Donahue still remains optimistic about his team’s chances despite these early setbacks. “We have three weeks right now where we don’t play in the Ivy,”
Donahue pointed out. “We have a great opportunity to really get better with two Big 5 games.” And if Penn is to have any chance at making the conference tournament, the team better hope that Donahue is right. One thing is for sure — the Quakers have to improve, and quickly.
Frank Mattiace takes Penn Athletics Weekend MVP honors WRESTLING | Veteran
secured Quakers’ win
COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor
It’s difficult to pick just one most valuable player from a team that upset the nation’s seventeenth-ranked squad, but the weekend that Penn wrestling’s Frank Mattiace had is more than worthy of recognition. The Quakers hadn’t beaten a nationally top-25 ranked opponent since the 2012-13 season — two years before head coach Alex Tirapelle’s ar rival — until welcoming No. 17 Stanford to the Palestra on Sunday, so the 19-17 upset over the Cardinal
represented not only the biggest upset of the weekend in Penn Athletics, but also the greatest of Tirapelle’s tenure in Philadelphia. And while several athletes contributed to the wild victory, Mattiace managed to stand out despite an especially rigorous slate of opposition. Ranked 15th nationally in the 197-pound weight class, the senior faced off against No. 20 Josh Marchock in what ended up being the only top-20 bout in either of the Quakers’ two weekend matches — and in the most hyped up individual scuffle of the day, Mattiace eked out a 3-2 win with a third-round escape to gain three crucial points for Penn, points whose
impor tance became even more evident considering the meet’s final score. Additionally, Mattiace had given his all to snatch a win in the team’s first matchup of the weekend, topping Army’s Rocco Caywood to brief ly give the Red and Blue a 7-6 lead over the Black Knights. Although Penn eventually fell in that contest by a score of 18-14, it was by no fault of Mattiace, who ended up being one of four Quakers to individually finish 2-0 on the weekend. Considering the weekend as a whole, the bottom line is that if there’s no Mattiace, there’s no upset of Stanford. And for that, the senior is our choice as the weekend’s MVP.

win in Tirapelle’s tenure as coach
NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Reporter
Sometimes the start can decide the whole ballgame. On Sunday, Penn wrestling got to experience that twice — falling to Army, 18-14, before knocking off No. 17 Stanford, 19-17, for its first win over a ranked opponent since 2012. Hosting the Black Knights (4-3, 2-1 EIWA), the Quakers got off to a rough start as senior 165-pounder Brooks Martino was on the wrong end of a 10-5 decision against Andrew Mendel. The teams went back and forth as wins from No. 11 Casey Kent and No. 15 Frank

Mattiace gave Penn (1-3, 1-2) a 7-6 lead before four straight Army wins put Penn in an insurmountable 18-7 hole. “Our starts were sluggish,” Penn coach Alex Tirapelle explained. “A lot of matches we were giving up the first score then trying to make a comeback. Which makes for exciting wrestling for the fans, but it’s hard to do.” Wins from juniors Joe Oliva and May Bethea at 149 and 157 pounds, respectively, ended the meet on a better note but weren’t enough to change the outcome. If the Red and Blue were to flip the script against the Cardinal (5-2, 2-0 Pac-12) later that day, something was going to have to change. Martino was ready. Taking on No. 18 Keaton Subjeck to open the day’s second dual meet, the fifth-year senior trailed 5-1 in the second period, battling back to a 5-4 deficit. With just seconds left, it seemed like the
165-pounder was going to take his second loss of the day when he managed to get a decisive takedown right under the wire for a 6-5 win. “I could hear the announcer counting down, ‘4, 3, 2, 1…’ and in my head, I’m just like, ‘I’ve gotta get my right foot back, and I’m gonna get this two [points],’” Martino said. “And I locked up the two with a couple seconds left. I could hear the crowd roaring in the background, and that was a good feeling. I don’t know how the other guys felt, but I hope it did give them the spark to go out and win their matches.” From there, the Quakers busted their way out to a big lead. Kent followed Martino with a 10-2 major decision at 174 pounds as Mattiace and sophomore Joe Heyob won decisions themselves, giving Penn a 13-0 lead to start things off. “You can lose the first five weight classes and still go on to win the dual, but when that

happens, it affects morale; it affects momentum,” noted Tirapelle, who was an assistant at Stanford before arriving at Penn in 2014. “People get into a rhythm. The sides that have the wins going for them, their next guys wrestle better, they compete better, they get to faster starts.” Nonetheless, Tirapelle and company knew Stanford would hit its stride soon, winning the next four bouts thanks to top-15 grapplers at 125, 141 and 285 pounds. With two matches to go, the Cardinal held a 17-13 lead. It was all or nothing. Penn needed to win both or it was over. Oliva took to the mat in the first of the two matches. He scored a takedown of Tommy Pawelski in the first period and never looked back, winning 4-0 as the Quakers made it SEE WRESTLING PAGE 8

It may not have been the best start to Ivy League play, but Penn squash’s weekend was about on par with expectations. Collegiate powerhouse Harvard and its travel partner Dartmouth came to the Ringe Squash Courts, and the Crimson rolled through the men and women on Saturday. Both Penn squads fared better on Sunday with 8-1 wins each over the Big Green, leading them to establish their positions high up in the Ivy League — just not above Harvard. The women (3-1, 1-1 Ivy) lost to Harvard (4-0, 3-0), 7-2, but the contest was closer than the scoreline suggests. In fact, three Quakers fell in five sets after going up early — the same three competed in the No. 4 through No. 6 positions. “We missed a great opportunity,” coach Jack Wyant said. “We had them at home, and we didn’t take advantage of it. We have to rebound.” At the top of the ladder, however, sophomore Reeham Salah made quick work of archnemesis Sabrina Sobhy, beating her rival at the No. 1 spot in straight sets to seal one of

two individual victories for Penn on the day. The win broke a long losing streak for Salah against Sobhy in collegiate play, something the Quakers’ talisman was glad to achieve. “I’m happy. My performance today gives me more confidence,” Salah said. “My fitness has been really good. I’ve been working a lot, and it all comes down to fitness in the end.” The other individual win for Penn came one spot below in the No. 2 position, when junior captain Melissa Alves got her team off to a fiery start in a heated five-setter. After winning the first two sets, Alves lost the third and the fourth. Then, down 7-4 in the fifth, the captain went down with an ankle injury, needing to halt play

Another match of note for the Quakers came at the No. 3 spot, when junior captain Marie Stephan was handed the first regular season loss of her collegiate career. Stephan had a tough, feisty matchup with Harvard’s Kayley Leonard and lost in four sets.

Things are back to normal at the Palestra. After losing its first three home games this season, Penn women’s basketball finally found its home court advantage with two comfortable wins over Brown and Yale. An 86-60 win over Brown on Saturday capped off a successful Ivy League weekend for the Red and Blue, who beat Yale 66-55 the previous night. With the two victories, Penn (9-4, 3-0 Ivy) held on to its perfect conference record and extended the team’s win streak to six straight games. The two wins came as no surprise for a Penn team in such great form, especially in Ancient Eight play – the Quakers have only suffered one loss in conference play in the past two seasons. On Friday night it wasn’t until the second quarter that the Quakers came alive and Yale (9-6, 0-2) began to fall behind. Junior guard Anna Ross

and sophomore forward Princess Aghayere led the way for the Quakers in the quarter with eight and six points. “Once [Princess] started rolling and scoring the ball off the bench we’ve been a better basketball team,” coach Mike McLaughlin said of her recent performances. When the game entered the second half it was junior guard Lauren Whitlatch who had the team’s hot hand. After a quiet first half, the
sharpshooter dropped a trio of three-pointers on the Bulldogs in the third quarter as the Red and Blue pulled away from the visitors. “I don’t think we closed the first half well as we should have. [But] I thought we came out in the second half,” McLaughlin said. “I was really happy with the way we played.” All night long, Yale had its SEE W. HOOPS PAGE 8
