Serena Williams will speak at Penn on Nov. 4 AMINATA SY Staff Reporter

Cosby accused of groping at Penn Relays The comedian allegedly made inappropriate comments to a woman in 2004 COREY STERN Senior Reporter

One of Bill Cosby’s latest accusers has claimed that he assaulted her on Penn’s campus.

During a New York press conference on Friday, two more women claimed to be sexually assaulted by the famed comedian, bringing the total number of alleged Cosby victims to nearly 60 women.

At the press conference, one of the women named Donna Barrett said that she was officiating the Penn Relays at Franklin Field in 2004 when a man grabbed her from behind.

Barrett said that she “felt his private parts” against her backside.

“He had his arm on my waist and forcefully pulled me on to his private area saying, ‘Hey, back that thing up here girl, back it on up,’” she said at the conference. “I cried out and tried to pull away from his vice-like grip on my waist.”

Barrett added that Cosby used his other arm to hold down her arm. The alleged assault was captured in a photo displayed at the press conference in which a man appearing to be Cosby SEE COSBY PAGE 6

For the first time, Penn will welcome the six-time Wimbledon championship winner, Serena Williams, to speak at the University on Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium. Williams was invited by the Social Planning and Events Committee to Represent Undergraduate Minorities, or SPEC-Trum, as well as SPEC Connaissance, which brings diverse speakers to the college.

Williams will chat with a

professor for an hour and will answer questions from the audience chosen via Twitter for 20 minutes.

Questions are to be tweeted to @ upennspec using the hashtag #SerenaAtPenn.

W ha r ton junior and SPEC Connaissance Director Alex McClelland said that Williams is a good candidate to speak to Penn students because of her philanthropic work, strength, talent, race, gender and success.

“She is probably one of the greatest female players ever and just an overall positive role model in the media,” McClelland added.

College junior and SPEC-Trum Director Jonathan Muruako said

that the reason the two committees collaborated on this event was to have a bigger influence.

“Serena is legit. She is killing it,” Muruako said.

Wharton junior and SPEC Connaissance Director Caroline Wills agreed.

“She is not only killing it on the court but also making a huge impact across the world in serving communities,” Wills said.

She went on to say that everyone knows about Williams’ tennis career. As result, she may be more excited to discuss her philanthropic activities and her fashion line.

College senior and SPEC-Trum Director Kelechi Okereke said

Williams has been through tremendous adversity but didn’t let anything hold her down.

“She is super humble and that was very appealing to us,” Okereke added.

College junior and SPEC Conna issa nce Di rector Ca rol ine Pitofsky noted that SPEC’s mission matches well with Williams’ qualities. “She is someone who can bring a different perspective to the Penn community,” she said.

Students can obtain tickets to hear Williams speak in a number of ways.

Penn beats Yale in primetime win Monster performances from Torgersen, Drake key Quakers RILEY STEELE Senior Sports Editor

ILANA WURMAN | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

In one of his finest performances in a Red and Blue uniform, junior quarterback Alek Torgersen finished 25-for-25 with 350 yards and four touchdown passes.

Maybe Penn football should spot its opponents early points in every game.

Fresh off their first Ivy League win of the season, the Quakers showed almost no side effects of playing on short rest, rebounding from an early 10-0 deficit to take down Yale, 34-20, on Friday. Playing in the first nationally televised primetime game in Franklin Field history, Penn (3-3, 2-1 Ivy) rode a 20-point second quarter to its second consecutive victory.

“It was a great win for the

program,” coach Ray Priore said.

“We’re taking baby steps along the way here, and our guys are getting progressively better.

“I asked them before the game to do one thing: To give me their hearts and love each other. We’re playing as a family, and when you do that it’s very dangerous when you start moving forward.”

For the fourth consecutive game, the Red and Blue put themselves in a hole early, this time against an offense that gashed the squad a season ago.

Yale (4-2, 1-2) got itself on the board with an early 39-yard field goal by Bryan Holmes. After a SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 9

Products for the price, what Gourmet offers

Bon Appétit says store provides a unique experience JEFFREY CAREYVA Deputy News Editor

Organic fruit, cases of Redbull and yo-yos — with all these items and more, the Gourmet Grocer fills a dining niche at Penn and has plans to improve after the renovations under 1920 Commons are completed.

Since 2013, the Gourmet Grocer in the first lower level of Commons has served as a miniature grocery store catering exclusively to students and staff. Students often wonder why shopping there is more expensive than at the Fresh Grocer two blocks away, but Penn Dining contends that the Gourmet Grocer provides a Penn-unique grocery service, and even hopes to expand its offerings to include warm food.

“All of the seed stores we have

are unique to the campus, and the Gourmet Grocer is meant to be unique to Penn students and faculty — it’s not meant to be like a Fresh Grocer or a Trader Joe’s,” Stephen Scardina, resident district manager of Bon Appétit, said. “Comparing the stores are like comparing apples to oranges.”

The Gourmet Grocer had to be designed differently than other grocery stores because of the small space and that fact that Bon Appetit doesn’t have the purchasing power of a national grocery store chain, Scardina said. Bon Appetit and Penn Dining tried to use Whole Foods as their model when designing the Gourmet Grocer. The store was designed to bring in many local and organic options, with over 4,000 products sold every week.

While the Gourmet Grocer is the size of a convenience store, carries toys and household items and is conveniently on campus, it is not

The Fresh Grocer and Gourmet Grocer are two of the closest sources of groceries for Penn students.

trying to be a WaWa, Scardina said.

A principal goal of the Gourmet Grocer is to stock items that students want to purchase on campus. Cashiers keep a logbook

of requested items, and Bon Appetit works with groups like Penn Vegan Society and Penn Hillel to carry products that fit in vegan and kosher diets. To make it easy

to shop there, the check-out accepts real money, dining dollars and bursar.

A significant portion of products in the Gourmet Grocer are a combination of fair-trade, organic and locally-sourced and are meant to cater to students with specific dietary needs, like gluten-free diets.

The Gourmet Grocer also promotes products from local artisans and entrepreneurs.

“These aren’t just goals that students might have when they choose what to buy for themselves, but also goals that the University has for its purchasing,” Barbara Lea-Kruger, director of communications and external relations for Business Services, said.

The ongoing, unannounced construction of a new student-service under Commons should not disrupt the Gourmet Grocer’s service, Scardina said.

“If anything, we think that

once [the new service] nearby is complete, it should open up some space for us to put a few tables and expand the Gourmet Grocer’s offerings to hot food, like what Whole Foods does or what Walgreens is doing now,” Scardina said.

Business Services is not prepared to announce what new student service is being built under Commons, though the area has been sectioned off since the beginning of the fall 2015 semester.

College sophomore Youssef Semaili Yacoubi shops regularly at the Gourmet Grocer and summed shoppers’ reasons for going Gourmet.

“Really I shop there because it’s on Locust Walk, it has a good selection of things that I actually want to eat, and I can just use my dining dollars to pick up groceries on my way back from class” Yacoubi said.

Campaign for Community fosters controversial discussions Key issues included race, religion and class

CAROLINE SIMON Deputy News Editor

In light of campus-wide tensions a rou nd subje ct s like race, sexual assault and mental health, the University’s Campaign for Community is attempting to make difficult conversations easier.

The Campaign, which, according to its website, “aims to strengthen our Penn community by finding ways to discuss and understand key issues that may

appear to be difficult or intractable,” launched last spring, and will focus on addressing issues among students that may cause disagreement.

Students or faculty can be come i nvolve d i n t he Campaign by submitting an application for event funding or an endorsement. Events can receive up to $1,500 in funding, of the $50,000 available, and there is no limit on the number of endorsements that the Campaign can give. “[The Campaign is] a way to signal the value we place on freedom of expression and on

fostering a lively exchange,” Provost Vincent Price said.

“University communities are unique and, I think, ideal kinds of settings to have these kinds of conversations.”

Claire Finkelstein, a member of the Campaign’s steering committee, said that there is no preconceived notion of what a Campaign event should look like, and that the committee “would be glad to consider any application that helps to foster conversation and communication around contentious issues.”

So far, Campaign events have included “Ayad Akhtar:

A Conversation on Religion, Class, and Race” on Oct. 13, “A Conversation with Jon Batiste” on Oct. 17, and “From Setback to Success: The Virtues of Failing” on Oct. 20. “Academic Freedom Now: A Symposium Marking the 100th Anniversary of the ‘Scott Nearing Affair’” will take place on Oct. 27.

The symposium will focus on the topic of academic freedom in honor of the “Scott Nearing Affair,” an event in which a professor was fired by Penn’s Board of Trustees after his activism against child labor.

The discussion will include

Finkelstein, Florida International University Law Professor Stanley Fish, President of Wise Results LLC and former Staff Counsel of the American Association of University Professors Ann Franke, and Penn history professor Bruce Kuklick.

The symposium’s focus will be on contemporary issues of academic freedom, such as the nationwide trend of shrinking professor tenure.

Moderator Peter Con n, a Penn English professor, explained that “what we’re attempting to do here is just bring together people with different

backgrounds, different professional credentials, and hope that among them... we may have a provocative and certainly very instructive discussion.”

Students who wish to receive funding or endorsement from the Campaign can apply on their website, and should expect to hear back within two weeks but no later than two weeks before the event. Applications do not necessarily have to involve a speaking engagement — events like exhibits are also acceptable — but all must somehow present a way to engage the community.

Wharton Women turns local teen girls into ‘Dollar Divas’

Annual conference teaches financial literacy ERIN FARRELL Staff Reporter

Few organizations can make education in financial literacy fun. But Wharton Women, the largest, paid-member student group on campus, readily took on the challenge.

Embodying the club’s ideals of female empowerment, Wharton Women held their annual Dollar Diva conference on Oct. 23 in Houston Hall to educate local

high school girls on financial management.

The club prides itself on programs supporting admissions, alumnae outreach, community service and social activities, and Wharton Women’s annual Dollar Diva conference encompasses all that the club strives to accomplish.

The event hosted students from twelve different Philadelphia-area high schools, technical schools and even an international school, increasing attendance and range of activities of the

conferences from years past.

“My first year, there were six schools. This year, we had significantly more schools and girls and have moved to make it more interactive, instead of us just talking at girls about how to do things like budgeting,” Wharton Women Vice President of Philanthropy and Wharton junior Sarah Liu said.

With “America’s Next Top Dollar Diva” as its theme, the event covered topics including financial aid in a college setting, personal expenditures and

proper work attire by allowing students to demonstrate these practical skills with the help of Wharton Women members.

Activities included providing examples of incorrect resumes, sample situations in which check-writing would be necessary and how exactly to do it, and what experiences and clubs would be beneficial to their finding employment or gaining admission to college.

The event’s organizers strove to help incorporate fun and energy into the challenging activities, awarding students with beads for active participation, interesting ideas and development of pitches in the event

— the student with the most beads at the end earned the title of “America’s Next Top Dollar Diva.”

The students, all in 9th to 12th grade, received “Keep Calm and Diva On” T-shirts, as well as goody bags filled with notebooks and pens.

“I’m here because I really like business. I’m having so much fun today,” Franklin Learning Center freshman Julia Grabski said.

Teachers were as eager to partake and praise Wharton Women as the excited students were.

“This is the second year we’ve been invited. The value of being an all-women event,

student-to-student, as well as the topics of financial literacy make this a really important event for low-income students,” business teacher Paul Roberts of Murrell Dobbins CTE High School said.

The conference left the young women with a much wider comprehension of the tools they will need as they enter college and the workforce.

“I would say, in general, we just wanted them to know how to handle their money so they can use it responsibly,” Wharton Women Outreach chair and Wharton sophomore Rachel Walter said. “And we wanted to show them they are capable of anything.”

Cashmere Cat lights up SPEC fall concert Mixed-genre artist Masego also performed GEORGE CARY Contributing Reporter

On Thursday, Oct. 22, students found a new artist to “Adore.”

At World Cafe Live, Cashmere Cat and special guest Masego blared their music to a packed two-story performance room.

Strobe lights and intense electric dance music filled the venue on 30th and Walnut streets.

Masego mixed elements of jazz with electronic music and beat boxing. Cashmere Cat, who was chosen in response to the popular EDM scene at Penn, had concertgoers dancing for his entire performance.

Students praised the Social Planning and Events Committee for choosing World Cafe Live as the venue.

“It’s very close to Penn and really convenient,” College freshman Navya Dasari said.

She elected to attend the concert

after seeing Cashmere Cat perform during an Ariana Grande concert last year.

The concerts division of SPEC plays a pivotal role in both the fall concert and Spring Fling.

“We brainstorm the artists we think will be [a] hit at Penn, contact agents, market the event, sell tickets and set up the dressing rooms,” College senior and SPEC Concerts Co-Director Spencer Jaffe said.

When SPEC chooses the musical groups for its fall concert, it doesn’t rely on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart. “We try to get a more up-and-coming act,” Jaffe added. This criterion allows Penn students to see performers who will eventually grow in popularity for a fairly inexpensive price.

The performance was well attended and received overwhelming positive reactions.

“SPEC should keep doing events like this and get more such artists; it was great!” College freshman Priyanshi Pokharna said.

Green Week inspires Penn students to protect our planet Events raised issues such as water conservation SOPHIA LEPORTE Staff Reporter

On Oct. 23, College Green was filled with tables full of art, food and prizes, all of which were centered on one theme: sustainability.

The event, GreenFest, was just one of many events held last week focused on sustainability as part of Green Week, hosted by the Student Sustainability Association at Penn and Penn Environmental Group.

GreenFest, the biggest event of the week, lasted for two hours, during which students could stop by and visit any of the tables to learn from a wide range of different groups — from the Penn Vegan Society to the Penn Haven Housing Co-op — about their missions and how they relate to sustainability.

“This year our focus was on making it a lot more visible and a lot more accessible to students and then have a good representation of both community groups and student groups,” event organizer and College sophomore Johanna Matt-Navarrosaid.

Wharton freshman Tiffany Adjmul hosted a table at GreenFest with her management team promoting the 4Liters Challenge, a challenge to conserve water and raise awareness of water poverty by using only four liters a day when showering, drinking or doing other activities.

“I think it’s great. It’s definitely been successful and we’ve had a lot of people sign up so far,” Adjmul said.

SSAP has over 15 constituent groups on campus, and throughout the week different groups collaborated to host events each day. Food Week was also held

on campus last week, so many events were part of both initiatives.

The purpose of Green Week is to allow students to see sustainability in action in different ways through the many different groups organizing events. “[We’re] trying to increase sustainability awareness on campus and encourage students that wouldn’t actively go to a club to see sustainable events,” Matt-Navarro said.

The week began with the Penn Vegan Society Kickoff Party, co-hosted by the Penn Vegan Society, the Latin@ Coalition and Penn for Fair Food.

The groups provided a Latin vegan dinner followed by discussions.

“We broke into discussion groups at tables and talked about the ethical practices behind veganism, our motivations for going vegan, how we can deal with the stigma of

going vegan and how we can get more people interested in the cause,” College freshman Susan Radov said.

On Oct. 27 the Agatson Urban Nutr ition Initiative hosted an event on healthy and cheap eating habits, which

included a discussion about food justice. On Thursday, Ori Shavit, an Israeli journalist and vegan, discussed Israel’s vegan movement at Penn Hillel.

NEC to hold special election to fill two UA vacancies Election open to College and Wharton students VIBHA KANNAN Staff Reporter

The beginning of the school year always signals the familiar start of election cycles.

Flyers crowd freshman dorm walls and eager students file into Huntsman Hall, anxious to hear election results.

But elections can also happen in the middle of the semester.

In a little over three weeks, the Nominations and Elections Com m ittee will be holding special elections to fill Undergraduate Assembly vacancies for College and W ha r ton Represent atives.

These new members will be filling the positions of College sophomore Fionn Adamian and Wharton and Engineering sophomore David Cahn, who both resigned for personal reasons. The Candidate Packet will be handed out on Oct. 28 and voting will begin on Nov. 11. Freshmen and first-year transfer students are not eligible to run for these elections.

UA President and College senior Jane Meyer said that for the most part, the special elections will be similar to the regular election cycle.

“The two will basically be the same in terms of the actual process, but only Wharton and College students can vote,” Meyer said.

Special elections are not an uncommon occurrence for the UA. In the last year, there have been two occasions where vacancies had to be filled. But Meyer said that these elections give students another chance to join the UA and make a tangible change on campus.

“I think this is a great opportunity for individuals who have been interested in student government to get involved,” Meyer said.

citizen capozzi | Why the Penn community failed to denounce professor Anthea Butler’s racial slur against Ben Carson

ver the previous couple of weeks, members of the Penn community have been especially alert to racially charged commentaries. Yet, those who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of protecting against such rhetoric have been surprisingly silent about a recent racial attack launched from our community.

Last week, Penn professor Anthea Butler, a Religious Studies Department faculty member, made news for tweeting that Ben Carson, the Republican presidential candidate currently leading the polls in Iowa, deserves the “coon of the year award.”

According to David Pilgrim, “The coon caricature is one of the most insulting of all anti-black caricatures … The coon, although he often worked as a servant, was unhappy with his status. He was, simply, too lazy or too cynical to attempt to change his lowly position.”

What did Carson do to earn this racial slur? When asked about fans bringing Confederate flags to NASCAR events, he

said, “I’m not opposed to anyone doing whatever they want on their own private property.” According to College sophomore Gabrielle Jackson, it’s “hard for people to understand defending

as part of an intracommunity dialogue. “When you identify with a marginalized group, if you have an opinion that isn’t acknowledged or accepted, you risk ostracism from people in

Do black conservatives deserve to be attacked in racial terms because of their political beliefs?” the Confederate flag because it signifies racism, white supremacy and tyranny.” While Butler has grounds to criticize Carson, we as listeners can criticize her manner of doing so.

However, I fear this will be an unpopular opinion on Penn’s campus. For once, Penn students have had surprisingly little to say about a racial attack made by a prominent community member. Students I interviewed suggested two related explanations.

Some argued that, because professor Butler is black, her comment can be understood

that group, even if your intentions are good,” said College senior Brittany Marsh. “It’s often more than just a theoretical debate because promoting certain opinions risks actual danger to a community without power.

It’s understandable that people would react harshly to stances they think further harm and marginalize the community.”

College sophomore Brandon Johnson acknowledged that the “stakes are higher,” but argued that doesn’t justify professor Butler’s comment. “There has to be a rational discussion, and

her language hurts dialogue, which is all we have other than violence.”

Other students suggested that Butler has avoided criticism because her target is conservative. According to College senior Kane Pride, many Penn liberals “think heresy when they see a black conservative.”

College senior John Sargent, a Republican who agrees with Carson’s defense of property, said, “When I talk about being Republican to other African Americans, I get backlash.” Do black conservatives deserve to be attacked in racial terms because of their political beliefs?

Ask yourself this: Would our community be more upset if the same comment was made by a black conservative professor against President Barack Obama or Sen. Corey Booker? If this is true (and most of my interviewees think it is), then an undeniable double standard exists.

This double standard troubles me. Black lives matter, and so do black opinions. As a participant in political dialogue, I want to hear black opinions

expressed freely and without the paralysis that racially charged attacks create. For Pride, “Once you throw around words [like professor Butler] did, it ends productive discussion. It has a chilling effect.” For Sargent, such attacks “make the conversation racially charged where facts are replaced by an ‘us versus them’ mentality.” For Johnson, Butler’s comment is a “common ‘Uncle Tom’ attack, which is toxic to dialogue, discussion and tolerance, which we fight so hard for.” Marsh differed, saying “I understand where’s she coming from and why she made that comment, but I wouldn’t have used that word.”

While I wouldn’t vote for Carson, he has the right to voice his views without excessive abuse. I support the efforts of pundits who identify the absurdity of some of Carson’s statements with facts. Substance, not inappropriate ad hominem attacks, will most effectively topple faulty stances.

Fortunately, professor Butler has the right to make such misguided comments. As John

LOUIS CAPOZZI Stuart Mill said, “Wrong opinions and practices gradually yield to fact and argument: but facts and arguments, to produce any effect on the mind, must be brought before it.” Just as we respect professor Butler’s right to speak freely, we should honor the right of others like Ben Carson to do the same. All of us, black or not, deserve that privilege.

THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN EXPERIMENT | Navigating the relationship between sincerity and respect

re Penn students sincere?

More importantly, does whether they are or not matter for their mental health and wellbeing?

Sincerity, according to Ben Franklin, means “to use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.”

Seems reasonable. Uncontroversial, even. But if the implications of that sentence are so benign, then why did the thought of responding truthfully to everyone I encountered for a whole week make my knees buckle?

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I am not as honest a person as I usually think of myself.

Telling someone I like their haircut when in fact it looks awful is a clear example of the kind of dishonesty I practice on a daily basis. So is responding, “Right, totally,” when I sense that a friend wants or needs my support,

even if I may not completely agree with their perspective.

I spend a huge portion of my conversations simply navigating how to best say what I want to without upsetting the person with whom I am talking, which often involves hiding the truth of how I feel to some degree.

In fact, a lot of how honest I am boils down to my perception of my social status in relation to the person I am speaking with. Almost every language in the world seems to have different registers ranging from euphemistic to blunt for different kinds of social contexts. It is likely that the tendency to consider sincerity as intimately connected to how we show others respect is widespread.

If there is nothing wrong with fudging the truth a little to avoid hurting feelings, though, then why would Franklin list sincerity as one of the key virtues necessary for cultivating a healthy

mind? Would he have argued that complete honesty, even to the point of hurting others, was an essential component of a well-balanced character?

One man who would likely have responded “yes” to that

tues?

On the other hand, as a diplomat and politician, Franklin surely understood the value of choosing his words carefully — it makes no sense that he would advo-

… why did the thought of responding truthfully to everyone I encountered for a whole week make my knees buckle.” question is psychologist Brad Blanton. He founded a movement in 1996 called Radical Honesty that calls for people to be completely honest in their personal relationships.

He insists that we should all speak whatever is on our mind all the time, which he argues leads to more intimate relationships with one another. Could this level of honesty be what Franklin was suggesting in his list of vir-

cate such blunt language. In fact, Franklin does not use the term “honesty” in his list of virtues, but rather “sincerity,” a word which covers a wider set of connotations.

To live a sincere life means to pursue paths that are in accordance with our own values and goals, to make decisions based on our principles and worldviews and never waver from them. As long as our principles acknowledge the

rights of others and do not allow for intentional conniving and trickery, we are on the right track if we follow them. Along with sincerity in our deeds, Franklin calls for sincerity in our thoughts; we must be attuned to our needs.

In order to be sincere with others, we must first be sincere with ourselves.

Wharton junior Austin Bream recently told me about “Penn Face,” a phenomenon in which Penn students hide their anxiety and stress behind a stoic expression in order to come across as mentally strong. Sincerity as Franklin means it does not imply having to tell our professors that we hate the way they go off on tangents in class, but it does entail taking that “Penn Face” off and letting others see us in our totality, as individuals with both strengths and flaws. Though some might be turned off, others will be drawn closer.

Experience tells me that

GINA ELIA this draw eventually leads to friendship, which in turn leads to greater openness and a more intimate connection.

The relationship between sincerity and respect is not completely arbitrary — it has grown out of the natural and healthy process of what it means for us to grow close to one another.

SPEC-Trum releases fall concert lineup Artists are set to hit the Rotunda on Nov. 5

AMINATA SY Staff Reporter

Three up-and-coming artists — Cousin Stizz, SPZRKTand Tory Lanez — will hit the Rotunda for a performance on Nov. 5.

The Social Planning and Events Committee to Represent Undergraduate Minorities joined forces with the SPEC Jazz & Grooves team to organize the event. The two groups have put together successful shows together in the past by bringing in entertainers such as Father and Kaytranada.

“With this show, we really wanted to brand ourselves and let people know what we’re really about,” College senior and SPECTrum Director Kelechi Okereke said. “We wanted to do something more appealing to a wider demographic of our students.”

Various branches of SPEC have also organized concerts, speaker events, the annual Spring Fling and comedy shows with big names like Kevin Hart and Aziz Ansari.

Okelechi said SPEC-TRUM is known for bringing onto campus musicians who are about to blow up, such as Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper and Travis Scott. He noted that the back-to-back events with Serena Williams speaking at the college on Nov. 4 and the concert happening the next day was an effort to remind the Penn community what SPEC does.

Tory Lanez, an artist from Toronto, will headline the show as part of his Swave Nation Tour. Lanez both sings and raps and has toured this fall with performers like Mac Miller and Young Thug. His most recent EP is called “Cruel Intentions,” which earned him critical acclaim. He holds a No. 1 spot on Billboard’s emerging artists list. One

of Lanez’s hit singles, “Say It,” was recently covered by Ed Sheeran.

“We want people to come to the show because these artists are going to be top-notch,” College junior and SPEC-Trum Director Jonathan Muruako said. “Our concert brings people together over music.”

Cousin Stizz likes to get his audience dancing with his raw, high-energy style of rap. On the

other hand, SPZRKT is more soulful with a solid beat production. SPZRKT has a mix tape with Sango, which was released through Soulection, a record label that once came to Penn.

Student tickets will be sold for $10 on Locust Walk throughout the week of Oct. 26 and will cost $15 dollars at the door. The public will pay $20 for a ticket.

COURTESY OF NENA EARL/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Tory Lanez will be performing at The Rotunda on Nov. 5 along with Cousin Stizz and Spzrkt.

is seen holding her from behind.

The picture shows him dressed head to toe in Penn gear.

Barrett is being represented by 1963 College graduate Gloria Allred, who is known for handling high-profile cases like this one. Allred represents many other Cosby accusers as well.

“I was angry that Mr. Cosby would take such liberty as to force his person upon me and force me against my will,” Barrett said in the press conference.

And while she said she complained to those around her at Franklin Field that day, “no one knew what to do.”

Cosby, a Philadelphia native, is no stranger to Penn. Cosby has been a fixture at Penn’s annual track and field. He has served as the honorary race starter multiple times and even filmed an episode of “The Cosby Show” during the 1986 relays.

In 1990, Cosby received an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University, and in 1997 he was selected as the commencement speaker.

In 2013, he was paid to perform standup at the Palestra following a Penn basketball game against Cosby’s alma mater, Temple Un iver sit y.

Cosby ser ved on Temple’s Board of Trustees from 1982 until late last year when he resigned from the board.

Earlier this week, Franklin & Marshall College announced it would join schools like Lehigh, Tufts, Brown and Fordham universities by revoking Cosby’s honorary degree. Penn’s Secretary of the University Leslie Kruhly, who oversees honorary degrees, declined to comment on whether Penn plans to join the growing list of schools stripping Cosby of his honors.

The Office of University Communications also declined to comment on Cosby’s honorary degree.

PRINCETON 3

Penn sluggish after break, falls in rematch with rival Tigers VOLLEYBALL | Caldwell

paces offense with 11 kills COREY HENRY Sports Reporter

In the third set of Penn volleyball’s matchup with Princeton on Saturday, coach Kerry Carr stepped onto the court to call a timeout with her team trailing 13-9, hoping to give it a chance to refocus in a pivotal set. But it only got worse from there.

Holding the Quakers to just 25 points in the final two sets combined, the Tigers were able to reverse the squads’ Sept. 25 result and defeat the Red and Blue, 3-1, at the Palestra.

Penn (9-11, 3-5 Ivy) opened the game strong, jumping out to a 6-0 advantage before Princeton (9-8, 4-4) called its first timeout.

The Tigers battled back out of the timeout to knot the score at 13-all. After taking the lead from the Red and Blue, coach Sabrina

King’s squad refused to let it go, fending off the Quakers to take the first set, 25-21.

In the second set, both teams went tit-for-tat, with only four points separating the two rivals at any point. Penn found itself fighting from behind for most of the set before a strong run forced Princeton to burn their first timeout, leading 22-21.

But the Red and Blue maintained their momentum out of the timeout, converting the next four points to take their first lead of the set before capturing it, 25-22.

Leading the way offensively for Penn was senior captain and rightside hitter Alex Caldwell, who had 11 kills in the match.

“I came in with the mindset that we had nothing to lose,” Caldwell said. “My coaches and teammates told me where to go on the court to give me more opportunities.”

With the score knotted at one apiece, the third set — like the

two before it — featured more of the back-and-forth action that made it hard for either team to separate itself. After Carr’s timeout, however, the Tigers started to show why their offense leads the Ancient Eight in hitting percentage.

“Princeton got a lot better defensively,” Carr said. “They did a better job holding their composure when we went on runs.”

Highlighted by the outside hitting duo of Cara Mattaliano and Kendall Peterkin, the pair’s combined 39 kills helped pace the Tigers as they rattled off a 12-2 run to end the third set.

Down 2-1 in a decisive fourth set, the Quakers once again found themselves in a similar situation. Trailing by five at 13-8, Carr once again stepped on the court to signal timeout. But Penn was struck by a bout of deja vu as Princeton closed out the game with a 12-6 spurt to take the fourth set, 25-14.

The Tigers’ defense was able

to mostly hold senior hitter Alexis Genske in check, limiting her to only seven kills out of 44 attempts. Overall, the team posted a .093 hitting percentage as their high volume shooting approach was stymied by Princeton.

“It comes down to us making errors,” Caldwell noted. “We have to find the balance between not making errors and staying aggressive.”

The second round robin through the Ivies has not gotten off on a great foot for the Quakers as the squad currently nurses a four-game losing streak. Sitting in sixth place in the Ancient Eight standings, the Red and Blue hope to use this week as a chance to get back on track before their next matchup with Harvard.

“We’re struggling with our confidence when things don’t go our way,” Carr said. “We are going to go into practice this week and get 10 times better.”

1 YALE

Quakers forced to accept tie vs. lowly Bulldogs

M. SOCCER | Frosh Blades

scores lone Penn goal ALEXIS ZIEBELMAN Senior Sports Reporter

Unfortunately, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, not soccer.

As the 90 minutes of regulation play wound down on Saturday night, both Yale and Penn had chances to clinch the game, yet neither were able to convert.

In overtime, the pattern continued with Sam Wancowicz sailing one high and the Bulldogs responding with a shot off the crossbar.

And the end of the second period of overtime saw both sides nearly securing the victory.

Ultimately, the game concluded after 120 minutes with the same score it had for the last 50, tied at 1-1. “I think one team is probably pleased with the result, and one team is disappointed with the result,� coach Rudy Fuller said. “And we’re not happy.�

With Yale (1-10-1, 0-3-1 Ivy) currently sitting at the bottom of the league, the Quakers (2-8-2, 1-2-1) expected to clinch three points off the game and keep themselves in contention for an Ivy title.

However close they were, they could not finish with a victory.

The first half saw much back and forth play but little production. “I think we were playing, putting them under a lot of pressure defensively and playing very fast in the first half,� Fuller said. “So the game was going a hundred miles an hour, and we couldn’t really get a hold of it. We generated chances, the stats were in our favor, but the game really didn’t settle down for us.�

Penn started the second half with early friskiness. But the Bulldogs secured the first point on the board. “It was a little bit upsetting because we’ve been working all week in training on not getting scored on off set pieces,� freshman Jerel Blades said. “It was a little bit disappointing to get scored on like that, because we shut down every earlier opportunity they had on the field.�

But the Quakers quickly responded within five minutes with a goal of their own by Blades off an assist from freshman back Nigel Blackwood. “I think it was definitely a confidence booster for us,� Blades said. “As soon as we got that goal, we had a little bit more confidence, and that’s when our game actually starting changing and

wasn’t great, but it was a little bit better than the first half.�

But Penn’s troubles did not stop there. Throughout the season, the Red and Blue has had trouble in the 18s.

“I think when you look back to the Rutgers game, the Dartmouth game and now this one, we’ve dropped a lot of points because we couldn’t take care of things in our own goal,� Fuller said.

The Red and Blue’s troubles did not end there. Even just from looking at the sideline, any attendee at the game saw two sets of crutches lining the Red and Blue bench.

In the words of Fuller: “Injuries haven’t been good to us this year.�

And in the plethora of fouls that continually stopped the game two more Red and Blue players took to the sidelines. “You have two guys in Austin [Kuhn] and Joe [Swenson] pick up knocks and have to come off,�

Fuller said. “Fortunately we have two seniors in Forrest [Clancy] and James [Rushton] who we are able to turn to, so there’s not much of a drop off in ability, but its just the rhythm and continuity of a team. “So it was tough to get some continuity, and I think it showed in the overall choppiness of the game.�

Though the drive and determination of the Red and Blue to break their losing streak was evident, they were forced to settle for a tie that felt more like a loss. “It definitely was tough�

Blades said. “This was a team we thought we could pick up three points on, especially being at the bottom of the table and trying to reach the top of the table. “This was a game we were really expecting to win.�

The drought is over.

Saturday night on Rhodes Field, Penn women’s soccer

broke its scoring drought in Ivy play, logging two goals as it sent the Bulldogs home with their tail between their legs, 2-1.

A balanced team effort from the Red and Blue (6-3-5, 1-1-3 Ivy) brought about the victory they had been seeking since the beginning of the league season.

Coming into Saturday’s game,

the Quakers knew what they had to do to defeat Yale (4-8-2, 1-4). “Getting that goal in early was important for us,� Penn coach Nicole Van Dyke said. “I think we capitalized on a few things they weren’t good at and kept the ball when we needed to. “We knew from the scouting

report that Yale played a high line, and we had a lot of space,� she continued. “We got our timing together after some offsides calls and found some goal scoring opportunities. We knew [the goals] were coming.

Though people think we’re this defensive team, we simply have the ball more.�

The Quakers also saw a handful of breakout performances on Saturday, none more significant than when Caroline Dwyer stole the ball and broke away from the Elis’ defense to score her first career goal. “Scoring the goal felt great.

Just as a team we’ve been waiting on these moments to score, though we had a lull in the middle of the season,� the senior back said. “We’ve been really unselfish with giving each other chances and just setting people up perfectly,� Dwyer added. “We knew Yale played high in their back line. We don’t really worry about what other teams can do to us, but rather what we can do to expose their weaknesses.�

This fearless and unselfish play was adopted by the entire Red and Blue squad, regardless of experience level. In fact, two freshmen teamed up for the first goal of the game when midfielder Allie Trzaska scored off of an assist from forward Sasha Stephens with 13:49 left in the first half.

Penn matched its season long defensive prowess with a relentless offensive onslaught against Yale, outshooting the Bulldogs, 12-6. The numbers speak to both the execution of what the

“That was their score. Other than that the defense shut them down.�

Going into the fourth quarter, the Red and Blue had yet to score.

But after getting the ball back at their own 42 with 12:11 remaining, the Quakers trekked into the red zone with McCurdy connections to senior Henry Mason and sophomore Jonathan Lilley. Mario del Cueto’s 35-yard attempt was good, making the score 10-3 Army with 8:16 remaining.

By converting on the kick, del Cueto became the first person to score against the Black Knights since the final game of 2014. In not allowing a point this season, Army had put together a shutout streak of over 383 minutes of game play.

On the subsequent possession,

Senior goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli came up with two crucial saves in the second half of her return to action to preserve the Quakers’ victory.

Quakers have been working on in practices, as well as the team’s attitude of selflessness and cooperation.

Goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli, though coming off an injury, returned to Saturday’s game ready to defend the Quakers’ home turf, logging two impressive saves in the second half of

the game. “It was great to be back out there with the team and impact the game,� the senior said.

It’s a definite upswing for the Red and Blue, who hope for another victory — and a few more goals — in their next matchup against Brown on Halloween this Saturday.

the Red and Blue forced a punt, which resulted in excellent field position after the Black Knights were flagged for interfering with Jones’ fair catch. After driving down the field, McCurdy hit senior Jack Epstein for a 20-yard touchdown on third down, and del Cueto converted the extra point attempt to knot the game at 10 apiece with 4:08 remaining in the fourth quarter.

On their last drive of regulation, the Black Knights could not get going on offense, going three-andout after sophomore Quinn Karam sacked Miller on third-and-eight.

With two completions to Mason, the Quakers advanced to the Army 22. However, they slipped out of comfortable field goal range after a nine-yard loss on second-and-five.

Del Cueto lined up for a 49-yard kick with four seconds left, but it was off the mark.

In the first overtime period, both teams kicked short field goals after breaching the opponent’s 10-yard line, as Kay and later del Cueto converted 24- and 22-yard kicks, respectively. Penn started on offense in the second overtime, but could not get moving, and del Cueto’s 37-yard attempt was short. On the ensuing possession, Kay was accurate from 34, giving the Black Knights the victory. “Overall, I felt bad for my seniors because they’re going to be graduating, and they had a shot to win the league,� Wagner said. “I told our kids at the end of the game that I was very proud of them. I think they gave everything that they could.

They left everything on the field. “Everyone on this team was into the game to win it.�

Penn concludes its season on Friday, hosting Princeton at Franklin Field for Senior Night.

it 10-0, as senior Morgan Roberts found Robert Clemons III for a 17yard score. “[When] they got up 10-0, we told the offense to relax,” Priore said.

“Unfortunately, we have a little too much practice at this, we’re spotting teams too many points to start the game in the first quarter. But we’re accustomed to relaxing and playing better.”

Penn looked ready to strike back immediately, as junior quarterback Alek Torgersen connected with senior tight end Ryan Kelly and sophomore wide receiver Justin Watson for 28- and 30-yard gains, respectively. But on first down from the Elis’ 15, Torgersen fumbled on the option, giving the momentum right back to Yale.

The Bulldogs seemed poised to deliver an early knockout blow and make it a three-score game. But with Yale at the Quakers’ 21, senior captain Tyler Drake dropped into coverage and picked off Roberts’ pass, his second consecutive game with an interception.

As the second quarter got underway, Penn’s offense finally had something to show for one of its long gains. One play after Christian Pearson dropped an easy pass, Torgersen found the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week with a beautifully lobbed ball to connect on a 63-yard touchdown.

tore his ACL just 12 months ago.

Drake is forcing turnovers at will and freshmen Mason Williams and Sam Philippi appear to have solved the Quakers’ problems in the secondary.

Penn now sits with three wins and three losses, a winning record in conference play and a chance to move over .500 for the first time since November 2013, before it lost consecutive games to Brown, Princeton, Harvard and Cornell (yes Cornell) to end a once promising season.

The Red and Blue face the exact same schedule to close out their 2015 campaign. If they

Half a minute later, the Red and Blue captured a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. After a short run and an incompletion, Drake sacked Roberts on third-and-six, forcing a fumble that Austin Taps recovered at the Bulldogs’ 17.

Torgersen found Solomon wide open down the sideline on the next play for a score, giving Penn a 13-10 lead.

“The coaches are really letting me loose, letting me do what I do best by putting me in one-on-one situations,” said Drake, who has 5.5 sacks and two interceptions in his last three games. “I’d like to think that I’m going to be able to take advantage of those situations with the tackles, and I’ve been doing that.”

The teams traded punts before the Elis tied the game at 13 with 3:22 left in the half on a 26-yard field goal.

But Torgersen methodically led the Quakers down the field before the break, finding senior Ryan O’Malley on a one-yard pass with 11 seconds to play to make it 20-13 Penn.

Yale wasted no time driving down the field in the third quarter, moving all the way down to the Quakers’ 10 in less than three minutes. But on third-and-two, senior Ian Dobbins picked off Roberts’ pass in the end zone to give Penn the ball back.

After the Red and Blue were forced to punt, a monster return set the Bulldogs up at Penn’s 12. But on third-and-10, Roberts was intercepted again in the end zone, this

are to complete the transformation, they cannot falter down the stretch as they did two seasons ago.

This team has shown it has talent, resolve and fortitude. The only question is whether this is the year Penn springboards back to the top of the Ivy League standings or if it is still one year away from being a dominant team every week.

The answer will come over the next four games.

Wins against Brown, Princeton and Cornell — a realistic proposition — will be necessary for the Quakers to claim that this season was not just a turning point, but the beginning of a new era of relevance.

And if they pull off a win against Harvard? Well, you can stop talking about relevance and start throwing around the ‘title-contender’ label.

Villanova was no fluke. Penn is back. Penn is here to stay.

Priore is the right man to lead the team, and the well of young playmakers on both sides of the ball is promising, to say the least.

An Ivy League championship is coming to Philadelphia soon.

STILL NO

FLUKE THOMAS MUNSON

After Penn football’s week two victory against fourth-ranked Villanova, my colleague Colin Henderson made a bold statement: The Quakers’ win was no fluke.

Five games into the season, with the Red and Blue sitting at 2-3 heading into Friday’s game against Yale, I still didn’t know what to make of that claim.

I was at the season-opening blowout loss to Lehigh, and I

criticized the team for returning to old, mediocre offensive tendencies. Penn then responded with “the upset of a century” against the Wildcats, only to be silenced once again 10 days later, this time

by Dartmouth.

After three weeks, I was convinced the win over the Wildcats was just a fluke and nothing more.

Then the Red and Blue put together a miraculous comeback against then-No. 12 Fordham.

Sure, they lost on a last-second field goal, but the Quakers showed both that they had the talent to hang with the nation’s best and that they had the grit they lacked for much of last season.

Following the spanking of Al Bagnoli’s Columbia squad last weekend, the narrative shifted away from Penn’s matchup with its former coach. Instead, the focus was squarely on the breakout games of freshman stars, the prospect of the program turning a corner and what it would take to stifle a Yale team that beat the Quakers by 22 in 2014.

So, entering week six, it seemed Penn had another shot to prove to all the haters (including myself) that it wasn’t succeeding because of flukes, lucky bounces or injuryplagued opponents.

Consider the job done.

On Friday night, the Red and

Blue dismantled the Bulldogs thanks to monster performances

by Christian Pearson, Tyler Drake and Tre Solomon. In doing so, Penn legitimized itself as not only a complete football team, but as a threat to finish near the top of the Ivy League.

When Yale went up 10-0, the Quakers didn’t cave. Instead, Alek Torgersen went into beast mode and threw three second-quarter scores to capture the lead going into the half.

When the Bulldogs cut the Penn lead to seven as the third quarter ended, the Red and Blue went 97 yards down the field, emphatically telling Yale it wouldn’t be putting

together yet another comeback win this season.

Coach Ray Priore has warned that his squad still is not performing at the elite level of which he thinks they are capable. But based off the last three games, the Quakers must be coming pretty damn close to executing at their utmost potential.

Pearson caught two touchdowns to continue his emergence as a potent downfield weapon. Solomon had a second straight game with two touchdowns and is ripping off jukes and spin moves at a ridiculous rate for someone who SEE MUNSON PAGE 9 ILANA WURMAN | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

Close, but no cigar.

Penn sprint football mounted a fourth-quarter comeback against Army on Friday, but fell in double overtime, 16-13. With the loss, the

Quakers (4-2) were eliminated from Collegiate Sprint Football League title contention, which will ultimately go to either Army (6-0) or Navy, who are both undefeated and will play head-to-head this coming week.

With both teams boasting strong defenses, there was not much offensive production throughout the night. Penn had only 189 yards of total offense

Penn put together an impressive effort under Coach Bill Wagner on Friday, becoming the first team to score on Army in 2015.

while Army managed 246 yards.

Freshman Max Jones rushed 16 times for 56 yards and junior Mike McCurdy completed only 18 of 37 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown.

After both teams failed to get on the scoreboard in the first quarter, the Black Knights established a lead after a 27-yard reception by Austin Breed set up a 48-yard field goal from Warren Kay. That 3-0 advantage would remain the score come halftime.

On their first possession of the second half, the Quakers went three-and-out. After Marqus Burrell picked up a first down, Army quarterback Brady Miller ran 65 yards to the house for the game’s first touchdown.

“Defensively, we played extremely well. We did a super job,” Penn coach Bill Wagner said.

“There was probably one play in the game ... where their quarterback had a big run that caught us off guard on an inside zone ride.

He kept it and went off the edge to the short side of the field and ran ... for a touchdown.

After stellar Penn career, Baron excelling in pros Ivy champion returns for second year in Israel ANNA DYER Associate Sports Editor

For a Division I women’s basketball player, there is about a two percent chance of playing professionally. Take a look at an Ivy League school like Penn and factor out the Connecticut players of the world, and that number is even smaller.

But this daunting statistic never came into play for former Penn women’s basketball star Alyssa Baron. The second-leading scorer in program history constantly had a goal in mind, and she was always ready to accomplish it.

“It is what I have trained and practiced for my whole life,” she said.

Instead of going through oncampus recruiting, instead of entering the working world, Baron took up a different day job as a professional basketball player in Israel following graduation in May 2014.

And she’s been enjoying it ever since.

Last year, in her first season in the Israeli Basketball League, the 5-foot-11 guard played for Ramat HaSharon, a team that finished

fifth out of 10 teams. Personally, she picked up right where she left off with the Quakers.

Baron played in each of the team’s 23 games, scoring in all of them and excelling on both ends of the court. Her numbers were impressive, as she averaged 12.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Despite playing with a

three-point line farther away than the standard NCAA distance, the Miami native showed off her shooting prowess from range: She notched 39 threes on 103 attempts, converting 38 percent of her chances from behind the arc.
