The key to dorm key replacement prices

Despite other colleges’ bans, YikYak here to stay

Residential Services uses patented key blanks to prevent copying

Penn’s focus on free speech means ban is unlikely

JACOB WINICK Staff Reporter

Welcome to the world of keys, where losing the sliver of metal in your pocket will leave you down over $200. Much to the disappointment of Penn conspiracy theorists, there is a reason for the high fee other than Penn wanting to make a profit on your misfortune.

This doesn’t stop many students from complaining that Penn greatly overcharges key replacements as a means to scare students into keeping better track of their belongings, rather than simply covering the costs of changing the locks and cutting new keys.

“I’ve checked all over the internet. A competitive lock change is nowhere near the 225 bucks they charged me, nor is a replacement key,” College freshman Carl Fulghieri said.

“You can have a copy made for almost nothing. It’s the same reason they charge you at the information desk for forgetting your PennCard in your room too many times. It’s a good motivator, but it seems incredibly excessive,” he added.

It turns out that making new keys really is that expensive. Senior Associate Director of Building Operations for Residential Services Derek Hunsberger explained that the high price tag is

Hidden under a veil of anonymity, Penn’s Yik Yak users are free to rant, joke, complain and event make threats without fear of being identified. And while other colleges have taken steps to prevent cyberbullying on the platform, Penn’s focus on free speech makes any similar action very unlikely.

posted shooting threats directed at all black students. At Western Washington University, posts called for the black student body president to be lynched. And at Emory’s Oxford College campus a student was arrested in October for posting a shooting threat.

Due to posts of this nature, American college campuses have seen a growing trend of banning the app on the school Wi-Fi network or enforcing a geo-fence — a virtual fence that does not allow the app to be used — around the campus.

Calling an UberX for a ride to a Thursday night downtown is not exactly legal.

In most of Pennsylvania, ridesharing services such as U berX and its competitor Lyft are allowed to operate, as long as they are granted a two-year agreement by the Pen nsylva n ia P ublic Utility Commission. However, in Philadelphia, UberX and Lyft are not legally approved to operate. UberBlack, however, is legal in Philadelphia as it functions similarly to a limousine service. In an attempt to crack down on these ridesharing services, the Philadelphia Parking Authority has been conducting sting operations.

“It was not only the taxi medallion owners that was [sic] helping the Parking Authority; it was UberBlack drivers,” President of the Taxi Workers Alliance of Pennsylvania Ronald Blount said. “If there is someone burglarizing a neighborhood, it’s not uncommon for the police to come to the community and ask for help in locating the criminal that’s burglarizing the residents … it’s not unusual for the Parking Authority to go to the taxi owners and ask for help in finding these illegal UberX operations.”

In its sting operations, the Parking Authority targets individual UberX drivers by having undercover officers use the Uber application to call cars to pick them up. Parking Authority officers wait at the destination in their vans and impound the drivers’ cars upon arrival.

Raymond Reyes, who has been driving for UberX since 2014, was a victim of one of the Philadelphia Parking Authority’s stings.

“What started my ridesharing advocacy was when the PPA

took my car,” Reyes said.

Reyes normally drove at night, but one Saturday he chose to work in the morning instead. His day was going normally until he picked up a couple of riders in Center City.

“Throughout the whole trip, they asked the same questions — ‘how are you doing?’ and ‘how long have you been working?’” Reyes recalled. “They were trying to build a rapport with me, just to give me a false sense of security.”

The small talk ended when Reyes arrived at the riders’ requested destination in northeast Philadelphia.

“After I dropped them off and unlocked the door, the two people ran out of the car, and my passenger door was flung open and some … guy reached for my keys,” Reyes said. “My driver’s door opened, and I saw a Philadelphia policewoman, who told me to cease and desist.”

When Reyes looked around, he realized he had been completely blocked in by Philadelphia Parking Authority vans, and so he was unable to move his vehicle. The Parking Authority did not have arresting power, but the officers investigating Reyes were able to confiscate his Uber phone and impound his car.

“They kept my car for twoand-a-half weeks,” Reyes said.

At the time, driving for Uber was Reyes’ only source of income. Unable to pay his bills, his car was repossessed, and he was evicted from his home.

This left him without a way to drive himself to receive the medical care he needed.

“During the two-and-a-halfweeks that I was without my car, I had doctors’ appointments,” Reyes said. “I go to VA up in Brooklyn, New York, to get my treatment. Without a personal car, I was not able to do that.”

The Philadelphia Parking Authority did not respond by the time of publication.

OPINION The times, they aren’t a-changin’ Fair Enough | Today’s campus activism is no ’60s revival

Wednesday February 10, 2016 VOL. CXXXI, NO. 131 132nd Year of Publication COLIN HENDERSON President LAUREN FEINER Editor-in-Chief ANDREW FISCHER Director of Online Projects BRIELLA MEGLIO Director of Internal Consulting ISABEL KIM Opinion Editor JESSICA MCDOWELL Enterprise Editor DAN SPINELLI City News Editor CAROLINE SIMON Campus News Editor ELLIE SCHROEDER Assignments Editor LUCIEN WANG Copy Editor SUNNY CHEN Copy Editor NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor TOM NOWLAN Sports Editor LAINE HIGGINS Sports Editor TOMMY ROTHMAN Sports Editor

“SOCIALISM REVIVED” proclaimed last Thursday’s print DP headline, introducing a feature on a student group calling itself Students for a Democratic Society and Penn’s chapter of the eponymous ’60s radical group.

Despite the shamelessly sensational headline, the group’s birth is basically a non-event.

There has long been a far-left community at Penn, active under a number of familiar names.

So far, SDS draws its small membership from their ranks.

More significant, I think, is the impression apparently held by these not-so-newcomers that they are the ideological heirs of the ’60s SDS movement.

Although the revived group’s president, College junior Lucas Lipatti, told The Daily Pennsylvanian that the new SDS is “not … try[ing] to emulate” their bygone namesake, the choice to take up their name invariably points to a belief that they are fighting for the same values SDS professed generations ago.

I posit, however, that the paradigm of today’s campus activism, which Lipatti said he could see “New SDS” working within, has ideologically less

in common with its nominal predecessor than its adherents might imagine.

Statistics blog FiveThirtyEight analyzed the collected demands of student protestors at 51 universities nationwide and compiled a list of the most common ones. In order of frequency, they were increased faculty diversity, mandatory “diversity training” or social justice classes, funding for cultural centers, collection of data on racial climate, expanded mental health programming, renaming of buildings and mascots, increased retention of minority students, expanded financial aid, apologies from administrators, expanded speech regulation and removal of school officials.

It’s easy to imagine yesteryear’s SDS supporting some of these demands, particularly those related to faculty and student diversity — the most common demand — and increased affordability. Some, however, jump out as perhaps more objectionable to a group that, while indubitably leftist, remained committed in principle to the foundational ideals of the American liberal (by

which I mean “concerned with liberty”) tradition. They saw themselves not as the destroyers of an oppressive American value system, but as defenders of American aspirations from which the powerful of the day had strayed.

SDS’s manifesto, the Port Huron Statement, affirmed that “The goal of man and society should be human independence … a quality of mind not com-

to its lofty standards. Does the student who calls for expanded racial speech codes not display a “quality of mind which … represses all threats to its habits?”

Do insistences that building names, mascots, administrative titles and offhand remarks represent insurmountable barriers to equality not speak to an ethic “driven by a sense of powerlessness?”

The demand for ideological-

Today’s activists, despite their deposition of a few university presidents, seem to view deans and vice provosts as their saviors in potentia.” pulsively driven by a sense of powerlessness, nor one which unthinkingly adopts status values, nor one which represses all threats to its habits …”

Reading this, I can’t help but be skeptical that the student activism of today lives up

ly-driven course requirements also seems to clash with the ethos of the Port Huron Statement, which blasted academia for indoctrinating students.

“The actual intellectual effect of the college experience is hardly distinguishable from that

of any other communications channel,” it charged, “passing on the stock truths of the day.”

Of course, the “stock truths” of 1962 were those of postwar cultural conservatism. Today’s academic bias, however, is toward the same identitarian progressivism many activists wish to see professed in mandatory classes. The demand for “diversity training” is one not to relinquish orthodoxy, but to double down on it.

Additionally, I see the attitude of today’s campus activists toward administrative power as divergent from that of their ’60s predecessors. Today’s activists, despite their deposition of a few university presidents, seem to view deans and vice provosts as their saviors in potentia. The Port Huron Statement, conversely, denounced “cumbersome academic bureaucracy” and its outsized ability to manipulate a university’s values, a power which they believed rightly belonged to students and faculty.

I don’t mean to pretend that the SDS of yesteryear shared in full my own political values or vision of higher education.

They were a creature of the

Alec Ward radical left; I am one, I like to think, of the principled center. I do believe, however, that those who gathered at Port Huron shared with me a sort of faith in the small-l liberal ideal, an essential dislike of dogma and coercion which seem to be uncomfortably wrapped up in 2016’s activist ethic. Perhaps this new group that claims their name seeks to recapture that ideal and bring it into today’s paradigm of campus activism.

I hope so, but I fear not.

My experiences within the Jewish community at Penn have almost exclusively pertained to politics and religion.

While touchy topics have been discussed, dialogue has occurred in a contained setting with a homogeneous composition. I’ve found that when it comes to Israel-Palestine, students claim to want dialogue, “substantive” facts and a non-propagandized setting.

However, most students want anything but that. In a recent op-ed, Jeremy Jick referred to certain realities as “noise.”

Jeremy used a recent PIPAC leadership statement as an opportunity to unsubstantially attack a campus memorial and installation, which occurred last year. In my mind, a memorial and campus criticism of Israeli policy are not existential threats to the US-Israel relationship, so I cannot understand the relationship between the PIPAC statement and aforementioned events.

Unsupported and unoriginal, the argumentation employs deceptive distractions and is dependent upon an attempt to discredit pain and suffering, instead of providing insightful analysis.

I think that for many students, the presentation of facts regarding oppression and state-sponsored violence can be hard to swallow. In turn, such information will be disregarded or discredited.

However, I find it disturbing for anyone to call the death of thousands of civilians just “noise.” In what world should the loss of innocent lives be discounted or considered propaganda? The summer of 2014 was the most fatal escalation of violence since 1967. The excessive military actions were a continuation of previous methods. In the past, Avi Dichter, a former director of the Shin Bet, has called similar measures overkill. The Gatekeepers, an award-winning documentary that features former heads of the Shin Bet, provides clear insight in this regard.

Moreover, an apartheid wall on Locust Walk does not equate to just “noise.”

It’s simply a term that is uncomfortable for individuals like Jeremy. For Palestinians living in the West Bank, life under the occupation consists of frequent unlawful arrests, the separation of families,

restrictions on mobility and illegal seizure of Palestinian land. Jeremy’s article implies that Palestinians have limited mobility because of terror threats. However, the Likud governments of the 1980s began imposing unlawful treatment before the rise of Hamas

of suspected political activists. Administrative detention, a practice that permitted Palestinians to be arrested without a warrant and held for up to six months without being charged, was employed with greater frequency. The occupation intruded on the daily

However, I find it disturbing for anyone to call the death of thousands of civilians just ‘noise.’” and suicide attacks. As William Cleveland and Martin Bunton explain in A History of The Modern Middle East, “In addition to constructing new settlements, the Likuddominant governments of the 1980s adopted measures designed to isolate and subjugate the Palestinian inhabitants. The Israeli state stepped up its practice of confiscating plots of Arab land, and the Israeli security services deported an increasing number

lives of Palestinians in countless ways: They were required to carry identity cards and pay special taxes; they had to overcome a maze of bureaucratic obstacles and security checks to obtain the most basic licenses and business permits; and they were arrested, imprisoned, and sometimes tortured by the Israeli authorities at the slightest suspicion of political activism.”

The United Nations General Assembly defined apartheid

as “inhuman acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them.” It is therefore understandable that individuals have classified the treatment of Palestinians as apartheid. However, should disagreement over terminology equate to noise? Terminology aside, everything on the apartheid wall in reference was supported with research and data from B’Tselem, a well respected Israeli human rights organization. My suggestion to Jeremy and other students would be to critically analyze new information that may not align with their own ideologies, instead of dismissing material as “superficial and devoid of context.” Just because information does not originate from the power player does not make it irrelevant.

Like the United States, Israel has its own flourishing society that creates meaningful innovations, but it is not simply a place where different cultures and faiths “work together.” Like the United

States, Israel struggles with institutionalized racism. NonAshkenazi Jews, Arabs, Eritreans and Sudanese are discriminated in the workforce, education system and housing. To oversimplify Israeli society as a society in which Muslims, Christians and Jews interact is an injustice for multiple reasons. It’s an injustice to the Israeli Black Panthers, to the Eritreans and Sudanese living in refugee camps and to the Arabs who have no rights to their ancestral land. Most of all, it’s an injustice to the occupation and conflict. In the same way that unsubstantiated criticism of a memorial and installation should not be used in conjunction with a leadership statement, Israeli society should not be used as a defense against human rights violations. Rather, let’s use relevant information that pertains to the conflict, not information relating to computer technology. marissa priceman is a junior in the college studying economics and sociology.

Biden’s visit brings greater focus on cancer research Penn researchers hope for more collaborative efforts KATHLEEN HARWOOD Staff Reporter

Vice President Joe Biden’s recent efforts to promote cancer research have placed a spotlight on bigger changes in the way cancer is treated — even at Penn.

More attention has been placed on ways to combat cancer in the wake of Biden’s visit to Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center on Jan. 15 to launch a White House cancer research initiative. University

YIK YAK >> PAGE 1

This ban is considered “symbolic” by some universities, since students can still access the app through their phones when they are not connected to the Wi-Fi. Administrators nevertheless have gone ahead with the ban because they want to assure students that they are aware of the harm the app can cause.

But when asked whether Penn would consider banning the app,

researchers hope that a new national focus on collaboration in cancer research — a change highlighted by Biden’s visit — will see a greater focus as well.

Biden is leading a “moon shot” effort to create tangible milestones in cancer treatment, which is especially meaningful after the loss of his son, former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, to brain cancer only last year. The $215 million Precision Medicine Initiative uses therapy that attacks a tumor’s specific set of mutations.

“The Vice President’s visit to the Abramson Cancer Center to

launch the Cancer Moonshot was exhilarating,” said Dr. Robert Vonderheide, the associate director for translational research at the Center. “We were proud to show him the work we are doing and share our insights regarding cancer care and research. Even since the visit, the initiative is rapidly gaining momentum with unprecedented national resources being prepared to find cutting edge new therapies and novel prevention of cancer.”

Less than a week after the Vice President’s visit, six directors of leading Pennsylvania

cancer centers participated in a panel that was featured in a conference called, “Cancer Precision Medicine, Big Ideas in Research, Treatment and Prevention.”

The conference, hosted at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, provided a unique opportunity for the clinical and research leadership of Philadelphia to meet to discuss developments and goals for the future in keeping with Obama’s initiative.

Dr. Dario C. Altieri, president and CEO of the Wistar Institute, was one of the six panelists to speak at the conference.

“We all work in different institutions, we have different organizational priorities and objectives, but in the end, we really need to work together,” Altieri said.

“That was really the spirit of the summit and the message that the audience took home with them.”

Altieri added that collaboration across organizations should be a lesson for Penn students involved in research. He explained that undergraduate and graduate students are trained to use personal, individual achievements as a measure of their scholarly success, but this mode of thinking stands in the way

of collaboration that is essential for scientific progress. The kind of professional collaboration demonstrated by the Big Ideas summit is a practice undergraduates might also keep in mind as they continue on in their careers.

“What counts more: a first authorship paper published in a very selective journal that maybe three labs in whole world will ever read?” said Dr. Altieri. “Or does it count more to be a co-author with twenty others on a paper published in the New England Journal that changes the standard of care of a disease?”

College sophomore and Committee on Open Expression member Josh Glahn replied, “Absolutely not.”

“In our last committee meeting we did discuss Yik Yak, and basically it was a unanimous decision that even though it’s anonymous and that can lead to abuses, it also can lead to open expression for people who might not have that forum otherwise or might not feel the ability to say things with their name behind it,” Glahn said.

Penn Law professor Stephanos

Bibas agreed that Penn is unlikely to ban Yik Yak. Bibas argued that legally problematic posts rarely show up, and when they do they should be handled through a legal process, not through a ban on the school’s server.

Bibas and Glahn both also agree that banning the app is not an effective way of dealing with the problem of hateful and threatening speech, as anyone who wishes to

post hateful things can always find a way.

“There’s a lot of it [offensive and racist speech] online. Students are going to have to live with it elsewhere, and they’re going to have to learn not to look at it or ignore it or fight back,” Bibas said.

Bibas worries that by banning Yik Yak on the school’s Wi-Fi, the University would be showing that it endorses all other apps and

websites that function on the server.

“Penn should not be in the business of saying we implicitly endorse the speech we allow on our email accounts or on websites we let students access,” Bibas said. “I think it’s technologically infeasible, practically infeasible, unlawful given that Penn has committed to follow the First Amendment, and a dangerous precedent.”

Last year the committee worked

on broadening its Guidelines on Open Expression to include online speech so that controversial issues such as this one would be covered.

“Basically the University expects its students and people using its Wi-Fi networks to be mature in using these applications," Glahn said. “And they feel that it’s important to have a forum for open expression and not to close it on the possibility of someone abusing it.”

more ethnically diverse populations. That reputation hasn’t been entirely earned, given the results.

In previous elections, New Hampshire voters have still ended up picking relatively moderate candidates. Mitt Romney, George W. Bush and John McCain have all won the New Hampshire primary, as have Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Al Gore.

This year, Granite State voters opted for something else entirely.

At a Tuesday night rally for New Hampshire primary winner Donald Trump, DP reporters heard Mexican people called “flies and trash” by supporters they interviewed. Before Trump came on stage, a group of attendees discussed the shootings in San Bernardino by Muslim terrorists, spurring another attendee to say, “Kill them all!”

On Tuesday night at Trump’s victory party in Manchester, DP reporters could only find two nonwhite people in the entire venue,

one of whom was a journalist, the other a vendor.

These views are hardly anecdotal. ABC News conducted an exit poll of New Hampshire voters on Tuesday, which found that two-thirds of Republicans in the Granite State supported Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from the U.S. And the results, easily pinned on Republican voters, hardly affect them exclusively. A New York Times analysis of 11,000 Republican-leaning voters identified Trump’s strongest supporters as “registered Democrats who identify as Republican leaners.” He had 43 percent of their support, most of which came from older and whiter voters, the study said.

“It can be problematic that two tiny states with predominantly white electorates can be so impactful on [the race],” Penn Democrats President and College junior Max Levy said.

This cross-party support played a key role because in New Hampshire, voters can register on

not to “scare” students, but rather it’s the outcome of Penn’s strict adherence to “safety measures.”

“We keep a very strict inventory of keys. The last thing we want is for a key to end up in the wrong hands,” Hunsberger said.

“Once a key isn’t accounted for, a locksmith is dispatched and completely changes the room’s locks.

If we left a key in circulation that wasn’t accounted for, someone could say they lost their key and then find it. They could give it to a friend or keep it for the next year.

We don’t want to risk it.”

Many students question the security of physical keys, arguing that they could make a $10 copy at The Home Depot. However, Penn has a stock of patented key blanks

donors should not be giving millions of dollars to emblazon their names on buildings at elite colleges when the money could be spent towards other areas of need in society. Zeller objected to this statement. “[Just] because someone is generous to their alma mater doesn’t mean they’re not generous in their own community

that is unique to the University and its locksmith. This means that making a copy of your room key is extremely difficult, though Hunsberger acknowledged it is possible for copies to be made illegally.

While some students are satisfied with the large fee in exchange for increased security, others argue that the fee makes students less likely to report a missing key.

“When I first lost my key, I waited for weeks before I finally reported it. I debated going the whole year and hoping that it would turn up so I wouldn’t have to pay the $225,” Fulghieri said.

“Making it so expensive just makes it more difficult for students to admit when they lost their keys.”

“These are people who make gifts based on impact. I think donors are very much attracted to [giving to Penn], but that also doesn’t mean they’re not generous to other causes as well.”

Zeller said that donors typically made contributions less for recognition and more for a specific goal they want to see

carried out at the university.

Donors who give to Penn are investing in research, arts and a chance to make an impact.

“It’s very seldom about, ‘Oh, I’m going to put my name on a building,’” Zeller said. “What attracts a donor is what the building enables the institution to do. It’s what goes on inside the building.”

ROUNDTABLE

Which team has the most important weekend?

DP SPORTS EDITORS

Discussing Penn Athletics... with more personal pronouns As the winter sports start to head down the final stretch, we discussed which Penn Athletics team has the most critical games in the upcoming weekend.

Associate Sports Editor Matt Fine: Men’s basketball has the most important weekend of all Penn sports.

Following a disappointing start to their Ivy League season — including a blowout loss to conference-leading Yale — the Quakers had two fantastic performances in wins against Harvard and Dartmouth at the Palestra this past weekend. While this may be foreshadowing good things to come for the Red and Blue, we shouldn’t

get ahead of ourselves...yet.

Dartmouth and Harvard make up the bottom two teams in the Ancient Eight standings, each with only one conference win in six outings. For Penn, which currently sits in fourth in the standings, this weekend will showcase its true place in the conference.

The matchup against secondplace Columbia (16-7, 5-1 Ivy) will test whether the Quakers can hang with the teams most expected to compete for an Ivy title and NCAA tournament berth. They will also take on fifth-place Cornell (9-11, 2-4) in a game that will either see Penn separating itself from the bottom half of the Ancient Eight or settling into the middle of the pact as a team unlikely to compete for a championship this season.

Despite the good wins last weekend, we still don’t know just how

good the Quakers are. This weekend, we will find out.

Sports Editor Tommy Rothman: The women’s basketball team has the most at stake this weekend.

Why? They’re in the hunt for an Ivy title. In fact, they’re in the driver’s seat at 5-0.

But a loss in Saturday’s game against second-place Cornell (13-7, 5-1) would bring Penn’s title chances into question. Last season, a loss at home against the Big Red crippled Penn’s already slim chances of defending its Ivy title. This year, the Quakers have a much better shot, but that also means they have more to lose in any given game — so even if they top Cornell, the other contest this weekend (against a struggling Columbia team) is a must-win, too.

And don’t forget, even if the Red and Blue win the Ivy League by a wide margin, they’ll face a lot of

the ball longer, there’s not really a shot clock,” Myers commented.

“Because the game isn’t as fast, you have to be ready for more of a six-on-six game, which is a definite change from the college game.”

Despite the difficulties ahead, the players themselves are ecstatic and honored at the prospect of representing their country.

“It’s pretty crazy,” Roesner said of his selection. “You don’t even know what to think. In the tryout process, I was trying to make it to the final 50 and I would’ve been happy with that.

“To be able to represent the United States of America is a

dream for any lacrosse player.

time, we’re on the same team.”

Dunn, who is projected to play midfield for the Quakers, reflected on the motivation behind

scrutiny from the NCAA selection committee when it comes to seeding in the Big Dance. Losses to Cornell, Columbia or any other Ivy team won’t look good on their resume.

Associate Sports Editor Thomas Munson: When Cornell walks into the Palestra on Saturday, it will present Penn wrestling with arguably its toughest matchup of the season.

While the Big Red are clearly the kings of the Ivy League, having won 13 straight titles, the Quakers have finished second in each of those seasons and the winner of the PennCornell matchup has produced the Ivy League champion for the last 29 seasons. If the Red and Blue want to keep their second-place streak alive they will likely have to upset the Big Red this weekend because of their loss to Princeton earlier in

his auditioning for the national squad.

“I think the first thing that came to mind was that I wanted to become part of the U.S. lacrosse family,” Dunn said. “I wanted to represent my community, Penn and my family.

Everyone who’s supported me to this point, I wanted to do it for them.”

Penn’s national status will certainly be on full display over the summer, as it is one of only four programs — along with North Carolina, Penn State and Ohio State — to send three players to Canada.

Head coach Mike Murphy views this distinction as a ringing endorsement of the future of his program and as emblematic

If Penn wrestling is going to take down Cornell this weekend, the team will need a strong performance from 184-pounder Lorenzo Thomas.

the season.

For Penn to have any shot at mounting an upset they will need all of their ranked grapplers to produce victories. Most notably, senior 184-pounder Lorenzo Thomas will have to overcome the brick wall that has been Gabe Dean.

If there’s a time to overcome that wall, however, it’s now. Dean saw his 52 match win streak snapped last weekend, making him appear vulnerable. If Thomas can finally take down his old foe, the Quakers stand a puncher’s chance at dethroning the Big Red.

of Penn’s allure among elite lacrosse prospects.

“We knew it was a good class a year and a half ago when it was first [put] in place. A couple of publications ranked it in the top five and the U.S. selections validated that. We hope that it’s a permanent change in the way we do things on that front,” Murphy said. “This tournament will be extremely impactful for these players. They’re going to get a lot more competitive lacrosse and will almost be playing a whole

other season.”

While the selections have certainly provided a lift to the Quakers’ morale, there is no doubt that their priorities lie firmly in the present. With practices in full swing and the season opener approaching, athletes and coaches alike do not have much time to dwell on anything else.

But as they walk onto the field, draped in the colors of both school and country, they are justified in envisioning a brighter future.

he said. “She far exceeded my expectations. She went on and had a great freshman year and really stepped up for the team.�

These notable numbers weren’t the only thing Ray contributed to the team her freshman year. Ray’s mentoring presence and contributions off the court were evident even though she was one of the youngest members of the team. “Even for me, when I was a sophomore and she was a freshman, I felt like she was a mentor for me,�

Roche said. “She was always thinking about finding a way to win, and she was a good friend — always there for me. If I was shooting badly, she would come up and say ‘keep shooting, keep shooting.’� ‘I knew that there was something not right...’ But soon the fairy tale began to fade. Ray — who had dealt with injuries in the past — was forced to face to her fear that something was not right with her knees.

Despite her successful rookie season, Ray had a sense that there could be deep-rooted issues with her

difficult for me. I stayed in my room for 12 straight days. I had to have people help me do everything.�

Despite the daunting road to recovery, Ray’s competitive spirit never wilted, and she never questioned her desire to return to the court. “I actually never thought about my knees not being able to take it [at that time],� she said. “I got so caught up in thinking that [the doctors] would just go in, sew some stuff up, [do] whatever they need to do, and then I would come back within the designated time frame and be back on the court.�

Eventually, Ray recovered from the procedure and was able to see limited action late in her sophomore season. As junior year rolled around, Ray readied for a full season back. Despite showing flashes of her freshman-self, scoring 22 points in the November matchup against Navy, knee injuries soon sidelined her again for the remainder of her year. “I just had problems every day,� she emotionally recalled. “It got to the point where it hurt to walk, let alone run. Just walking, I was miserable.�

It was at this moment — at the

at home and in Philadelphia. And each time she heard the dreaded words: “You need to stop.�

Still, she says she was in denial.

Her competitive nature was telling her that she could overcome anything even if the doctors said she couldn’t.

But soon, the reality of the potential long-term damage began to set in. “Finally, my physical therapist at home said, ‘If you don’t stop now, you’re not going to be able to run around with your kids when you’re older.’ “He just started breaking things down for me, and I was like alright.

I guess it’s that time to stop. And then on the other side, I wanted to be here to help my teammates, and I didn’t think I could help them on the court at that point to be honest. It got worse than where I was before.�

Roche isn’t surprised either about Ray’s dedication to the program despite her inability to contribute on the court. “She would always come to everything in addition to going to all of her physical therapy,� Roche said. “She was always there for us in the locker room — always there as a presence. “Just because she’s not playing anymore doesn’t mean she isn’t any more part of the team. I feel like she has found a way to become a very very important part of the team without being on the court which is hard to do.�

After the season ended, she went to see a doctor. The exact date of her surgery is still etched distinctly in her memory. It was May 18, 2013.

When doctors went to repair what they thought was just another torn meniscus, the surgeon discovered that her ACL was not functioning either.

She went on to have a double knee surgery, a grueling procedure that takes part of the patellar tendon from one knee to repair the muscles in the other. “I was in two braces for about two weeks, so I couldn’t really do much,� she said. “That point was really

hasn’t seen much of an effect from the transition on his squad.

“I think we kind of fell right into it,” he said. “I don’t really see it changing who we are. I think that we were prepared for it. And I don’t think it’s changed the game a great deal.”

As the women are getting used to the new rules, a lot of attention is being paid to the effects. For his part, McLaughlin views this as a change that won’t just be limited to the women’s side of things, and that the men will adopt quarters as well before too long.

“From talking to other coaches, I think people like it,” he said. “And I wouldn’t be surprised to see the men start talking about the idea of 10-minute quarters.

“I think that’s what everyone plays growing up, I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t find its way into the men’s game in the future here.”

At the end of the day, however, senior guard Kasey Chambers pointed out that, regardless of rule changes, the game itself is still the same.

“I definitely think [quarters make the game flow]. I liked the halves. I love the game of basketball, no matter what format it is in. But I think it was a good change.”

Red, (White) and Blue

Looking Forward.

M. LAX | Three freshmen selected

for U-19 U.S. Men’s National Team

SANJAY DURESETI Sports Reporter

Donning the Red and Blue is a point of personal pride for many of Penn’s athletes. The colors represent the essence of the University, a reminder of its long and storied athletic tradition.

This summer, however, three members of the men’s lacrosse team will add white to their color scheme and play for a different and perhaps more meaningful purpose.

In July, the Canadian city of Coquitlam will host the Federation of International Lacrosse World Championship, where teams from around the world will compete in a nine-day tournament that stands as the pinnacle of the sport. Along with the main draw, youth squads will take the field, and Penn freshmen Alex Roesner, Tyler Dunn and Noah Lejman will join 22 of their countrymen as members of the U-19 U.S. Men’s National Team.

After a rigorous selection process, which saw a pool of 105 athletes narrowed down to 25, Roesner, Dunn and Lejman will begin training in June as part of the national squad. The Quakers will also be well-represented on the sideline, as Penn associate head coach and recruiting coordinator Patrick Myers will join his three players as an assistant coach for the U-19 squad.

Myers had high praise for the effort exhibited by the three freshmen, who have yet to play a game for the Quakers, in making the team.

“For Alex, Tyler and Noah, it’s been years and years of hard work,” Myers said. “It was a very competitive talent pool, and the guys who ended up making the team have put in a lot of hours over the years to make themselves into elite lacrosse players. It’s a real credit to them over the course of their high school careers.”

Myers views the tournament as beneficial in several ways, ranging from personal to athletic.

“I think, along with developing into better players, playing for the national team is about developing them as men. The people that they’re meeting, everything from life skill development to the speakers that they’re listening to and the fellowship with the other athletes and coaches will make them better people,” he added.

“And then, of course, iron sharpens iron so I think being around the best players in the world is always going to make you better.”

Myers also stressed that the three young players will be confronted with even greater challenges in the summer. International lacrosse differs from the high school and collegiate game, forcing players to adjust to new rules and to employ different offensive and defensive strategies.

“The pace of play is different. You can hold SEE M. LAX PAGE 9

W. HOOPS | Ray thrives

despite a career cut short

ANNA DYER Associate Sports Editor

It’s a Tuesday night game at Villanova for Penn women’s basketball. At tipoff, in the first chair on the bench, senior captain Keiera Ray intently watches a contest that she won’t be able to enter.

Donning her Penn sweats, she is still one of the players. And with clipboard in hand, she is now one of the coaches as well.

Stepping back a few short years ago, it’s hard to imagine a time when Keiera Ray would not be on the court controlling the game as the starting point guard for the Quakers.

As a freshman, the Chicago native played and scored in all 31 games for the Red and Blue, starting in 27 of them.

Today, as a senior, she spends games on the bench, a mentor to her teammates

after a series of knee injuries cut short a promising career.

While the opportunity to start as a freshman came about unexpectedly when then-junior point guard Meghan McCullough tore her ACL three games into the 2012-13 season, Ray did not shy away from the challenge despite playing forward throughout her high school career.

“It was a big transition,” she said. “It was really nerve-racking...not going to lie, but Coach McLaughlin said, ‘We really need you’ and I was like ‘OK.’ I knew I had to put more work in the gym.”

And that is exactly what she did. Ray continued to hone her craft as the team’s primary ball-handler, improving each week for the Quakers.

Her breakout performance came on a tough Ivy League weekend in which the Red and Blue faced Harvard — the eventual Ancient Eight runner up — and Dartmouth.

At the Palestra, Ray had the hot hand from the beginning, dropping a

career-high 31 points, notching six steals and leading the Quakers to a 77-72 win over Harvard, the team’s first victory over the Crimson in nine years.

The next night against the Big Green, the freshman continued her impressive performance, netting 19 points and matching her 60 percent shooting from beyond the arc from the previous game.

A star was born. Some slated Ray as the face of the program for the next four years.

Unbounded potential Looking back to games like these, peers and coaches alike praise her play and intensity on the court.

“Keiera had a competitive drive,” McLaughlin said. “She was very team oriented but very competitive. She got to the basket as hard as any Penn player I’ve seen.”

Kathleen Roche, a Penn guard from 2012-15, also described this X-factor that Ray possessed on the court.

“She had a presence when the ball was

in her hands,” she said. “She really had a knack for scoring the ball. She was a very smart player who understood the game.”

And people weren’t only paying attention in the Palestra. Her performance in these games was recognized on a national scale too. The following Tuesday, Ray was named U.S. Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Week, becoming the first man or woman in Ivy League history to claim this honor.

Maintaining steady numbers all season, Ray averaged 10.6 points per game and finished with the second-highest assist total on the team with 65.

While McLaughlin expected Ray to be prepared for the collegiate level due to the high caliber of play at her high school, Bolingbrook, even he was impressed by the numbers she put up during her freshman season.

“I knew she would take the challenge because she is extremely competitive,” SEE RAY PAGE 10

Quakers keep the change despite move to quarter play W. HOOPS | Penn adjusts

to new time regulations

NICK BUCHTA Senior Sports Editor

NICK BUCHTA | SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

The change from 20-minute halves to 10-minute quarters hasn’t had a huge impact on Mike McLaughlin’s women’s basketball squad, which has gone 16-3 in the first year under the new rules.

SEND STORY IDEAS TO DPSPORTS@THEDP.COM

If it seems like Penn women’s basketball is playing a slightly different game this year, that’s because they are.

At the start of the 2015-16 season, the NCAA transitioned from 20-minute halves in women’s basketball to 10-minute quarters. And since the start of Ivy play in early January, Penn coach Mike McLaughlin has focused on making play even shorter: relying on five-minute segments for his team’s strategic purposes.

“Quarters just become another stoppage for us,” he explained.

“But we talk about it. We get to the first media timeout, and we just say, ‘We got outplayed that five minutes, let’s finish the last five minutes of the quarter. It’s a way to really keep on task a shorter amount of time. Keep

them focused.”

McLaughlin’s strategy seems to be working. Since the Princeton game on Jan. 9, the Quakers have gone 7-1 and have outscored their opponents by an average of almost 15 points a game.

Still, although the transition to quarters may have seemed relatively seamless — the Quakers are 16-3 on the season, after all — there were bumps along the way.

“It took a little bit of getting used to,” senior guard Kasey Chamber said. “Anything does when it’s that drastic of a change.

But I think we found a way to make it work for us in a very positive way and positive direction.”
