Controversial TA will not be teaching next semester

a ban in effect what the Supreme Court decision to enforce trump's travel ban means for penn students

Ph.D. student Stephanie McKellop said she would be taking time to study for exams

MAX COHEN | Contributing Reporter

ALEX RABIN Senior Reporter

This October, Penn history Ph.D. student and history teaching assistant Stephanie McKellop tweeted about her use of a controversial teaching technique known as “progressive stacking.” The tweet generated discussion on and beyond Penn’s campus about race and privilege in the classroom.

“I will always call on my Black women students first.

Other POC [People of Color] get second tier priority.

WW [white women] come next. And, if I have to, white men,” her Oct. 16 tweet read.

McKellop recently stated that she will not teach in the spring semester, but the school has remained tightlipped about any findings it has made or steps it has taken since.

McKellop explained to The Daily Pennsylvanian in an emailed statement that her time off from teaching next semester stems not from action by the University regarding her use of progressive stacking, but rather from her need to study for exams.

“I am not being punished by the university — I am studying for my exams,” she wrote in the email. “History PhD students teach 4 semesters as part of our funding, and I am still teaching 4 semesters. My comprehensive exams are coming up, and that is why I’m focused on those. Comprehensive exams are a normal part of a PhD process.”

On Dec. 5, however, McKellop tweeted, “I won’t be teaching next semester due to some admin choices.”

McKellop said in a follow up email to the DP that she was referring to University policy governing teaching assistants when she said “admin choices.”

“I’m an eager person who loves teaching more than anything, and I would’ve loved to teach every single semester, but we are only allowed to teach for 4,” McKellop wrote. “Admin choices means it is literally impossible for all of the PhD students who desire to TA to TA in the department, so having a surplus of TAs without a matching number of classes that need TAs does not work.”

Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences Steven J. Fluharty said in an October statement that the University was investigating the technique, but the school has not provided any updates since. When asked for comment on any decisions or conclusions at which Penn has arrived, University spokesperson Stephen MacCarthy deferred comment to Fluharty’s office.

On Penn’s campus, some students fear that this travel ban gives license for people to discriminate against Muslim communities in the United States — other students said they still aren’t sure what Penn administrators are doing to help.

University lawyers have previously told affected students not to leave the United States for fear that

they may not be able to re-enter, Sudan citizen and College sophomore Aula Ali said.

Sudan was not added onto this edition of the travel ban, so although Ali is not directly affected, she has had experience with the University’s support system for these students.

“The lawyers [International Student and Scholar Services] provided didn’t really help at all,” Ali said. She gave up an internship this summer in Sudan after a University lawyer told her to stay in the United

States — a move she felt Penn was not prepared to support.

After reaching out again to Penn for help, Ali said the University was not sure what to do and did not provide housing accommodation for her over the summer. Executive Director for Education and Academic Planning Rob Nelson has previously said Penn was helping students on a “case-to-case” basis.

Ali was not sure if the University was still providing this service.

Trustees’ chair is key supporter of controversial net neutrality bill

David Cohen is a top executive in Comcast KELLY HEINZERLING Deputy News Editor

The Federal Communications Commission announced plans on Nov. 21 to loosen regulations for internet providers. This would enable the companies to structure service plans that control access to and speed of their internet. On Dec. 14, a Republican bill will be voted on to determine whether the plan will be enacted.

If passed, internet providers such as Comcast and Verizon would be allowed to control the content and speed of certain websites, essentially dismantling President Obama’s plan for a free and open internet, otherwise known as “net neutrality.”

Among the biggest supporters of this plan is Chair of Penn’s Board of Trustees David Cohen, who is the executive vice president of Comcast

Corporation.

A few hours after the FCC announced plans to roll back net neutrality, Cohen published a blog post on Comcast’s website praising the move toward looser regulations.

Cohen has always been a major

advocate of the rollback of net neutrality, saying in 2014 that neutrality advocates have an “almost hysterical reaction” to the loosening of regulations.

Cohen declined to comment on this article.

While net neutrality regulations were created in order to ensure that all internet traffic flowed equally and certain content wasn’t unfairly slowed down, opponents say that these rules prevent internet service providers from making investments in their networks to provide better, faster online access.

On Penn’s campus, Cohen’s open support of net neutrality has drawn immense criticism, sparking a student protest of the Board of Trustees three years ago.

Professor Emeritus of business economics and public policy Gerald Faulhaber and professor of legal studies and business ethics Kevin Werbach both said that Cohen’s anti-net neutrality stance is not a conflict of interest since the matter is not important to Penn as an institution.

Universities that have private internet networks, such as Penn, or that are part of National Research and Education Networks would not be affected by the rule change.

Students sending and receiving information on their phones through outside wireless, however, could be impacted.

Some institutions would be affected, since they use commercial internet providers. Inside Higher Ed wrote that under the new plan, colleges and universities could charge students differently based on their amount of internet usage.

“Students today take for granted that the internet is this amazing, open platform to access information,” Werbach said. “Network neutrality fundamentally is about control over the way information flows on the internet.”

The debate over network neutrality and regulations on internet providers began in the early 2000s, Faulhaber said.

He added that these debates came to a head in 2010 when the FCC, an independent government agency that regulates interstate communications, failed to pass an order that

internet providers could not discriminate against websites and had to treat all traffic equally.

In 2015, under the Obama administration, the FCC tried again and succeeded at passing a law regulating internet providers by classifying the internet as a public utility, not unlike electricity, under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. At the time, Faulhaber was working at the FCC as a chief economist.

He said that when the internet became “a highly regulated public utility” in 2015, investment level went down.

Another issue contended by net neutrality advocates is the concept of paid prioritization plans — which Faulhaber said would be a way for internet providers to create a “market” for the internet by offering different speeds similar to first class versus regular mail delivery by the postal service.

Penn students ‘mourn’ the loss of high rise field The green space will be replaced by a dormitory SARAH FORTINSKY News Editor

At the corner of the field, a flower-framed blackboard stood with the words “High Rise Field Memorial” written across it in white chalk on the afternoon of Dec. 7. The other side of the board had “In Loving Memory … “ centered at the top, leaving room for students or other passerby to share their thoughts beneath it.

On Nov. 2, Penn announced plans to build New College House West — a residential building that will cost the University a record-breaking $163 million and will be built where the high rise field is currently located. Responding to the news, students have questioned the purpose of a new dorm on campus and have expressed frustration over the loss of the open space.

While some of the shared memories were lighthearted — “I found $5,” a person wrote, adding an image of a smiling

One issue advocates of net neutrality worry about in the new plan is the concept that internet providers would have the power to not provide certain content, which internet users would not necessarily be aware they weren’t receiving — something that Faulhaber said led to the push for the failed 2010 FCC order.

Faulhaber added that this fear is ultimately baseless since refusing to provide websites would eventually cause internet providers to “lose business” and, if caught, these companies would face national anti-trust laws.

“The proposal by the FCC now to eliminate those rules I think is dangerous,” Werbach said, taking the

face — others were more sentimental.

“I actually had the chance to share my feelings here with a friend,” someone wrote.

“I’m going to remember this park forever,” read another statement.

This memorial was the vision of three Penn students — Engineering sophomore Connor McSwain, College junior Sarah Thomas, and Engineering freshman Effie Li — who teamed up for a class project to produce a piece of public art relevant to the Penn community.

“This issue is a very hot topic right now just because the plans were recently released for the school to build a new dorm,” Thomas said. “This is a space that is communal.”

“We’re just sharing our memories on the field because we’re all sad that we won’t have the whole field to play on,” McSwain said.

As a member of the frisbee team at Penn, this issue is particularly relevant for McSwain.

While the team reserves practice space at Penn Park three

times a week from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., team members often practice or play pick-up games on high rise field. McSwain added that Penn Park is not conveniently located and that varsity sports teams get priority in reserving daytime practice slots.

“I mean Amy Gutmann said then net green space will stay the same or increase, but the whole field won’t be here and we won’t be able to play the fields we were able to play,” McSwain added.

As a freshman, Li said the project spoke to her because she will likely live in one of the high rise buildings next year and will probably use the field.

She described the fact that the dormitory’s construction will begin in spring 2018 and that students will not be able to move in until after her graduation in 2021 as “kinda sad.”

“Students should be able to express their opinions on the project the school is building,” Li added. “I played grass volleyball here once and I think it’s a really nice space. It’s really beautiful.”

opposite stance from Faulhaber and Cohen on what he calls a “frightening” proposal.

“It’s a proposal to strip away all the open internet protections that have been around for some time.”

If this new plan is passed, Werbach said, the FCC will be challenged in court to provide legal justification to completely reverse the 2015 regulations that passed just a year-and-a-half ago.

“At the end of the day, there really is a bipartisan consensus in favor of sensible, open internet rules, because this is a fundamental infrastructure for society,” Werbach said.

“When companies have complete freedom to make these decisions, they make decisions that reflect their own interest rather than protect the freedom of the internet.”

TRAVEL BAN “At first ISSS provided pro bono legal advice to all students affected, but I don’t see that happening anymore,” she said.

University spokesperson Stephen MacCarthy did not respond to inquiry into Penn’s response to the most recent travel ban.

Officials have stated that the restrictions will not impact anyone who already holds a U.S. visa — however, if a student’s visa expired before the student completed studies it would be difficult to renew. Additionally, the ban prevents some of these students’ families from entering the United States to visit.

that the ban primarily impacts students from Iran — who will face increased vetting but not have valid student visas suspended — and from North Korea and Syria — whose entry is completely suspended.

The latest decision elicited harsh criticism from student groups with members affected by the decision, as opponents questioned the rationale behind the restrictions and the negative effects it will have on Penn students.

“It’s important to understand the breadth and depth of the effects of this ban,” said College and Wharton junior Zuhaib Badami, who is the former president of the Muslim Students’ Association. “It gives license to discriminate against Muslim communities

“High Rise Field Memorial uses a humorous approach to make a critical point.”

as a whole.”

Other students agreed that the policies continued to target and greatly impact Muslim communities.

“This decision is really disappointing and saddening,” President of the Penn Arab Student Society and Engineering junior Nayef Yassin said. “The Trump administration say they are countering terrorism, when in reality all they are doing is being truly xenophobic and targeting Muslim countries to fearmonger in the United States.”

President of Penn Democrats and College junior Rachel Pomerantz also said the travel ban is a flawed policy, saying that “at its core, this is still a Muslim ban.”

From conversations with oth-

ers affected, Badami said that their primary concern seems to be the inability to travel back and forth to visit family or to hold international internships.

“It represents a financial and career burden,” Badami said.

“Many [students] have internships planned abroad and those opportunities are now out the window.”

For now, Yassin urged those affected to listen to advice from ISSS and to remain resolute in the face of adversity.

“We know this is emotionally and mentally daunting,” Yassin said of the advice he would give MSA members directly affected by this ban. “But we are all one community and we are here for support.”

Students reflect on first semester in Hill House The overactive fire alarms did not please residents COURTNEY BUTTERWORTH Contributing Reporter

As the first semester since the grand reopening of Hill College House comes to a close, students largely say they are satisfied with the $80 million project and all of its amenities. Still, however, there are several kinks that have yet to be sorted out.

The most prevalent issue is likely the overactive fire alarms, which Wharton freshman Nathalie Rodrigues Vaz Falcão estimates have sounded 15 times throughout the semester. Falcão said the alarms have been her least favorite part of living in Hill.

On Dec. 7, Penn Business Services and the Division of Public Safety sent an email to Hill residents acknowledging issues with the Hill fire alarm system, writing that they “appear to stem from

MEGAN JONES | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Students cite great social community, good food, and house ammenities as reasons why they enjoy living in Hill College House.

oversensitivity of sensors.”

The email emphasized that while Penn works to resolve the issues, students should still evacuate following alarms.

Doug Berger, the executive director for Business Services, added that these sensitive smoke detectors were originally placed

in unusual spaces, such as directly above a toaster and right outside a pizza oven.

Falcão said she originally ranked Hill at the bottom of her preference list for housing, but what put Hill on her radar at all were the renovations. Now that she has lived in Hill for about

three months, Falcão said she enjoys the amenities Hill offers, especially the gym and study lounge.

Wharton freshman Amanda Lewis also ranked Hill at the bottom of her housing preferences, but at that time she did not know much about the remodeling.

She says she really enjoys the sense of community that Hill offers through its many common areas and study lounges. “You can’t leave the building without seeing someone you know,” Lewis said of Hill’s central atrium.

Although Penn has not yet conducted a student satisfaction survey for Hill residents, Berger said Hill “has always had a strong social community,” adding that he expects the upcoming surveys to show that that is still the case.

Lewis also said she enjoys the privacy provided by the new gender-neutral bathrooms. The bathrooms are now single rooms instead of stalls.

While each individual college house determines whether or not its bathrooms will be gender-neutral, the issue of available genderneutral bathrooms has been pressing for nonresidential buildings as well. In September, University Architect David Hollenberg pointed to Hill’s gender-neutral bathrooms as a model he would like to adopt for nonresidential buildings in the future.

Engineering freshman Kathie Jin appreciates the “social vibe” of Hill, as well as the dining hall, although she said she gets tired of eating the same foods. Lewis also stated that there is a lack of variation, but that the food in Hill is better than in other dining halls, so people from other college houses come to Hill to eat.

Berger said Penn is working on introducing a new rotation of food in Hill to begin in the spring semester.

One of the most criticized aspects of Hill before its renovation was its

lack of air conditioning. However, the new A/C system was not what all residents were expecting.

“I’m not a huge fan of it,” said Falcão of the A/C, adding that during the summer it could get really cold and now, during the winter, after Hill has turned off the A/C and turned on heating, it can get really warm.

“We’re forced to open up a window in the middle of November because it’s too hot in our room,” Falcão said.

Berger said that while he hasn’t heard complaints about the A/C system in Hill, there were some adjustment issues on certain floors after the heat was turned on.

Jin, like Falcão and Lewis, had also originally ranked Hill low on her housing preferences. But if she were to do it again, she now says that “Hill would be at the top” of her list.

“I’m telling [friends applying to Penn] to live in Hill,” she added.

Fellowship lets students design their own philanthropic programs The Glass Jar Fellowship students raised over $5,000 ZACH JACOBS Contributing Reporter

Eight Penn students have spent the past semester campaigning to improve the literacy of children in Philadelphia.

As part of the inaugural Glass Jar Fellowship, a semester-long internship program co-organized by the Jewish Renaissance Project and Penn’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy, eight Penn students raised over $5,000 for the Children’s Literacy Initiative, a local nonprofit devoted to training teachers in techniques to promote childhood literacy in the classroom.

The students will deliver the donation to CLI at a local el-

ementary school on Dec. 13.

The Glass Jar Fellowship allows students to design their own philanthropic program, which includes selecting a suitable charity and finding ways to collect resources for the organization.

College sophomore Teddy Kotler described being approached by a friend who had been involved with previous JRP projects and who asked if he might be interested in becoming involved with the Glass Jar program.

“At first, I was a little skeptical,” Kotler said. “However, after I learned more about it, I was like, ‘Okay, yeah, this is something I could definitely participate in,’ and it’s been a great experience.”

Seth Sholk, a Wharton sophomore and Glass Jar fellow, said

students chose CLI because of the high impact the donation could potentially have on the lives of students taught by CLItrained teachers. “[Literacy] has a pretty big impact on graduation statistics and whether or not kids go to college,” Sholk said. “We basically put in two or three weeks of fundraising with just the eight of us, and we were able to make such a big potential impact.”

Over the course of the semester, the students initially raised money by collecting spare change in the fellowship’s namesake glass jars. But this was just a jumping off point for what the group planned to do, College senior Olivia Neistat said.

The fellows continued to raise money by talking to family and friends over Thanksgiving break,

and raffling away gift cards.

Some Penn students continued to give without extra incentive.

“I was really surprised by the number of people who, when you’d ask them if they wanted to buy a raffle ticket, would say ‘no, but I just want to give you money for this,’” Neistat said. “There was more interest than we were expecting.”

Sholk said the fellowship helped fill a gap he sees in community service involvement on Penn’s campus.

“A lot of the time, we just kind of get caught up in our own lives at Penn, and we forget to take a step back and realize that there are things around us we could be helping out with,” he said. “Not too much effort needs to go into making a big impact on other people’s lives.”

OPINION Believing in Penn as an ideal THE CONVERSATION | Reflections on all my complaints

You should not and do not need to believe that Penn is perfect. You should not love it unconditionally. You only need to love it enough to believe that it is worth saving.

That, I believe, is the “thesis” for this column. In fact, it has essentially been the thesis of most columns I have written for the last two years. My editor has pretty much given up on trying to get me to state my point before the last paragraph, but here it is, Alessandro — the first line. And Robin shall restore amends.

It’s good that I finally addressed this hole in my prose, because this will be the last column I write for The Daily Pennsylvanian. I have a semester left until my obnoxiously long tenure at the school is over, but I know too well what senior spring will do to my level of motivation. Besides, I’ll be too busy finally taking a writing seminar. I’m looking forward to learning how to write after finishing up my English major and three semesters as a columnist. Cheers.

One does not realize just how short of a time two weeks is until one is forced to write biweekly columns. I can say with some confidence that coming up with things to write about was almost

always the hardest part. Interesting things just don’t happen that often in college settings, and even when they do, it’s hard to present a novel perspective. One may, as I did in many frustrated moments, even come to the conclusion that there really just isn’t anything important enough to write about.

But of course, this is never really true, is it? Any number of issues, some pressing and others chronic, are worth considering during our time here. Not all of them may be relevant to our everyday lives, and some may seem too big or complex for us to try to address. Besides, all of our academic, professional, and social engagements keep us busy, and we rarely face the need or desire to consider Penn as a whole — what it is and what it could be. So I’m extremely grateful that the DP forced me to think about this school on such a regular basis.

One thing that I have noticed over my tenure is that there seems to be an increasing sense among

the student body that Penn is ultimately not a good place, that it is not a place that keeps us safe or happy, that it does not care about its students or their needs.

It seems that if there is anything that brings the Penn community together, it’s antipathy of the Penn administration. And some of it is fair. Penn’s shortcomings are well documented in this publication and others, and my fellow columnists and I have called

We are responsible only for ourselves and our future, both of which we have more control over than most other people in the world.

This is not to say that we should just shut up and enjoy the ride. As I said, there exist problems that are very much real, and we have an obligation to be aware of them and address them when possible. Yet, I hope that people make such criticism with the premise that Penn is worthwhile; that it is a place that has positive potential for not just its students, but the world. Don’t give up on the idea that Penn is not only a place where you can be happy, but also, a place that can make you more resilient, worldly, and understanding of those around you.

It is worth remembering at times that Penn is a place with a mission. This idea may be so ubiquitous that we automatically roll our eyes and zone out whenever Amy Gutmann or others representing the school talk about it. But I sincerely hope that on some level, even secretly, we still believe in the idea of Penn as an inherently meaningful place with a commitment to worthwhile values, as I do. Thank you for reading.

Four years of college will never be enough ROAD JESS TRAVELLED | On getting older and the passage of time Outside, snow is gently piling up, Locust Walk is oddly silent, and for once, I feel strangely at peace. I’m sitting here in Saxbys, writing my last column of the semester on my 20th birthday.

I feel obligated to write about something meaningful. The combination of the end of my teenage era, the end of the semester, and the icy weather outside somehow demands sentimentality, reflection, and contemplation. In the few quiet days before the craziness of finals finally hits, I want to say something of significance and importance that extends beyond our collegiate concerns.

When people ask me how old I’m turning and I respond, “twenty,” there’s usually an exclamation of surprise. “Wow,” someone told me, “You’re so old!” In response to this, I tend to laugh it off and agree, joking about being washed up or something along those lines.

In reality, however, I don’t feel old or washed up at all. Just a few weeks ago, the thought of leaving behind my teenage years scared me, but as the clock struck midnight, I hardly felt different. Instead, I felt a new sense of power, of agency — as one part of my life ended, another one began. As

someone who is constantly anxious about the passage of time and the thought of time passing too quickly, this was a new, unique feeling of calm for me.

If anything, it indicates that I’m slowly growing up and slowly accepting that.

Time is such a tricky, fickle concept. Especially at Penn, we’re trying our hardest to cram as much as we possibly can in the four years we’re here, or at least we’re trying to make something of ourselves. Getting older is scary; the thought of graduation without a semblance of legacy is scary too.

Our high-achieving culture compels us to stress out about if we’re doing enough here, but when these negative feelings arise, we must take a deep breath and realize it’s okay to just let go and exist.

In high school, I loved submitting my work to creative writing contests and getting instantaneous, positive feedback — winning competitions was a way of validating myself and what I was

good at. As a “teen writer,” my writing was impressive. However, when I turned 18, I realized I was no longer considered a young teen who was good for her age — suddenly, I was thrown into the arena of real adults, and I felt somehow that my writing ability was diminished in some way.

In an environment of overachievers who grew up as the “gifted” kids, the concept of getting older comes with some con-

gates those anxieties, and allows us to realize that we are still so young and there’s still so much ahead of us.

In every sense of the word, we are still growing; we are not done with anything in our lives so far.

In many ways, college is a starting point for many of us to launch our careers or life goals, and it isn’t an experience that needs to be wrapped and tied with a perfect bow. As we grow in this limited space, we should recognize that we have an incredible amount of autonomy in our hands, and our lives are just beginning.

Therefore, whether you’re a first-semester freshman or a second-semester senior, push on and continue to learn and take in as much as you can, because that is what Penn is here for.

As our semesters come and go, we can sometimes wonder what we have to show for our time here, or where it went to begin with. Though tangible progress and achievement are important and well-valued, there is something to be said about simply

… we’re trying our hardest to cram as much as we possibly can in the four years we’re here, or at least we’re trying to make something of ourselves.” sequences — the understanding that we cannot control everything in our lives, and that we might not necessarily be able to achieve everything we want in college.

But recognizing that our lives are long and that this is just one chapter in our lives helps miti-

So as I sit here and say goodbye to my teenage years, I am a bit nostalgic about the past and what I’ve been through so far in my time at Penn. But more so, I am excited for what’s to come, and hopeful for the future beyond Penn.

Why some students hesitate to get tested for STIs Many private insurance plans notify parents GIOVANNA PAZ Staff Reporter

Student Health Service has administered tests for sexually transmitted infections for years, but some students see the lack of privacy and the cost of certain screenings as barriers to getting themselves tested.

Executive Director of SHS Giang Nguyen acknowledged that this issue of privacy can be worrisome for students, but said there are certain ways that SHS can protect students’ privacy from parents.

Nguyen said that if students using outside insurance providers were to get tested, their insurance companies would have to inform the policyholders of the exact charge on the statement. In most cases, these policyholders are the students’ parents, who would then be notified of any testing done.

Students also have the option of having SHS bill them for the cost of screenings and evaluations directly, without coverage from insurance. This would then

Some students with private insurance plans who have sought out sexual health services such as STI testing and birth control from SHS have been upset to learn that their parents were notified.

just appear as a general “health service fee” on their University Bursar accounts, which handle student billing information.

For students on the Penn Student Insurance Plan, the insurance statements also would not reveal the exact reason for the health charge.

As of now, SHS covers free

HIV testing, but charges when testing for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and herpes, as well as less common examinations for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. The results are sent to external labs and then returned to SHS — a process that generally takes only a couple of days.

Despite the variety of testing

options, one Nursing sophomore, who requested to remain anonymous out of fear of parental repercussions, said that she has not gotten an appointment at SHS because she is concerned that the STI evaluation charge will be revealed on her mother’s insurance billing information.

She added that she was discouraged from paying directly after hearing from friends that the total cost for examinations at SHS can range from $10 to $30. But when she looked for other resources, such as the local Planned Parenthood, the costliness was again a factor in preventing her from making an appointment, placing her in a tough situation.

“I feel like there should be some type of help for people who don’t want to use their parent’s money to buy these tests or can’t afford to,” the student said.

In an emailed statement, Nguyen wrote that “SHS is working on some plans for an initiative that can help improve access to STI testing, but that’s not ready for discussion yet.”

He did not respond to further questions on the initiative.

Another Nursing sophomore, who wishes to remain anonymous, had been tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea while covered by an outside provider.

She said that for her, privacy was not an issue, even though she acknowledged her parents would see the charge.

“Overall, I think it’s as secure as it can be,” she said. “While it would be nice if nothing showed up [on the insurance statement], they can’t do that, so I feel like under the circumstances they keep it as private as possible.”

At other universities, such as Yale University, STI testing is free to all students. Cornell University also offers free testing for students at its health center, Cornell Health.

Nguyen said that he believes SHS has addressed the issue of cost rather well.

“I think we’ve been very successful in terms of getting that price much lower than a lot of other places would be able to do because of our relationships with the external laboratories,” Nguyen said. “So we do have a cost to [the examinations], but it’s as low as is feasible.”

Nguyen also emphasized that there is a great need for students to be tested.

“The majority of sexually transmitted infections do not have any symptoms at all,” Nguyen said. “That’s where screening comes into play and is a very important way to stay healthy.”

Penn alumna accuses Stanford professor of sexual harassment

Penn researchers use video game to test self-driving car

Alleged incident took place at Dartmouth

The virtual simulations mimic crashes in the game

HARRY TRUSTMAN Copy Editor

ALEX KUANG Contributing Reporter

A former Penn doctoral student has accused literary critic and Stanford University English professor emeritus Franco Moretti of making inappropriate sexual advances towards her, The Stanford Daily reported.

In 1995, Jane Penner, who received her master’s degree in English from Penn in 2007, attended a six-week summer workshop at the School of Criticism and Theory at Dartmouth College. According to The Stanford Daily, Penner hosted a party at the house she was staying at during the program. Moretti, who had attended the party, stayed at the house after the other guests had already gone home and became “physically aggressive.”

“I rebuffed him, but he continued to press his case and tried to touch me,” Penner told The Stanford Daily. “I continued to say no and asked him to leave.”

Moretti proceeded to chase Penner around the house and did not leave until she let her dog loose in the home, the Daily reported. Penner said the experience “scared the hell out of [her].”

Moretti is known for his contributions to the field of digital humanities, specifically by using computers and data to analyze literature. These efforts were profiled by The New York Times on Oct. 30 in a piece titled, “Reading by the Numbers: When Big Data Meets Literature.”

Penner is not the first woman to accuse the prominent scholar of sexual harassment.

Earlier in November, Kimberly Latta, who is now a practicing psychotherapist, publicly stated that Moretti, a then-visiting professor at University of Cali-

The popular video game Grand Theft Auto is helping Penn researchers test new autonomous vehicle technology.

Electrical and Systems Engineering professor Rahul Mangharam is leading a team of six to test an autonomous driving software called the Computer Aided Design for Safe Autonomous Vehicles.

“We can crash as many cars as we want,” Mangharam told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

To test the self-driving cars, Mangharam and his team use virtual simulations that mimic crashes in Grand Theft Auto.

This helps better evaluate how the vehicles respond to their surrounding.

The autonomous car technology is constantly executing a three-step process: perceiv-

But School of Arts and Sciences spokesperson Loraine Terrell, who facilitated Dean Fluharty’s statement in October, declined to provide comment.

“Sorry, I have no additional information for you at this time,” Terrell wrote.

History professor Kathleen Brown, who is McKellop’s advisor, also declined to comment, saying, “I cannot violate my obligation to protect the privacy of my student.”

An undergraduate student in McKellop’s class who wished to remain anonymous said that

fornia, Berkeley, had stalked and raped her in the 1984-1985 school year, when she was a graduate student.

In a blog post titled “What Happened at Berkeley in 1985,” Latta wrote: “I remember him saying, ‘O, you American women, when you say no you mean yes.’”

In a feature for the New Republic, writers reported that “multiple sources from various universities confirmed that Moretti had a reputation as a ‘seducer’ of graduate students at best — and a predator at worst.”

Moretti told the New Republic, “At this point, I will … simply reiterate that I have never knowingly engaged in any kind of unwanted contact with anyone.”

These accusations come on the heels of several similar alleged cases of sexual harass-

while they do not know whether the administration has taken any actions regarding McKellop, she has been “teaching as normal.”

In October, when news of McKellop’s tweets received public attention and controversy ensued, the student said that McKellop did not attend class or hold recitations.

In his October statement, however, Fluharty emphasized that “[c]ontrary to some reports, the graduate student has not been removed from the program and we have and will continue to respect and protect the graduate student’s right to due process.”

ment in higher education. On Nov. 17, Boston University officials found professor David Marchant responsible for directing “sex-based slurs” to a former Penn professor and then-graduate student Jane Willenbring. Other graduate students have also spoken against faculty at Princeton University, University of Rochester, and more, for sexual harassment and assault.

To combat the issue of faculty sexual harassment and assault, a group of students at Penn started a petition earlier this semester to improve sexual harassment policies. The group specifically called on President Amy Gutmann to lay out what policies are in place to protect graduate students, who are more likely than undergraduate students to identify faculty members as sexual assault offenders.

aims to ensure safe and efficient transportation in the 21st century. Mangharam is the director of Penn’s branch of the program, and his research focuses on determining regulations for autonomous cars to ensure safety to the public.

“They need to be very transparent in the development of this technology,” said Leslie Richards, the secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, to the Philadelphia Inquirer. “To get the public buy-in, people do need to understand.”

This technology is quickly growing and is being introduced in other parts of Pennsylvania. In Pittsburgh, Uber has already begun to introduce autonomous cars.

“There’s never been anything quite like this, other than the introduction of the automobile,” said Kurt Myers, the deputy secretary for Driver and Vehicle Services in Pennsylvania, to The Atlantic.

It can be especially confusing when the car makes a mistake, though.

“Was the cause of the problem that it cannot perceive the world correctly and made a bad decision, or did it perceive the world correctly and make a bad decision?” Mangharam said.

The researchers can modify the environment within the game to better understand how the car reacts to different weather conditions, as shown in a simulation found on Mangharam’s research website.

This research falls under the umbrella of Penn’s branch of Mobility21, a $14 million federally funded program that

Penn Appétit to release cookbook this spring Recipes were contributed by 12 student chefs NAOMI ELEGANT Contributing Reporter

FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM

@DAILYPENN

Next semester, Penn students can look forward to a mouth-watering new student publication: Penn Appétit’s first cookbook, Whisk.

Penn Appétit is a student-run magazine at Penn that covers food.

It publishes one print issue each semester and maintains an online blog. For the first time next year, Penn Appétit is publishing a cookbook which will be available in late spring.

The inspiration for Whisk came this fall, while the magazine was preparing for Penn Appétit’s 21st anniversary issue, which came out this week. After observing the group’s enthusiasm and talent for creating the magazine, Culinary Director and Wharton sophomore Rachel Prokupek said she decided that creating a cookbook would be a logical next step.

“Penn Appétit has all these amazing recipes, and people are so passionate about food and cooking

in this club,” she said. “So what if we do a step up, and create a cookbook, and use all these recipes and the talent that we have?”

Whisk is a “cookbook for social occasions,” according to its website.

In the coming issue, the magazine will explore the ways people socialize around food. The book contains five sections, including brunch, dinner party, and picnic. Each section includes a forward written by a Penn graduate currently working in the food industry.

Recruitment for the cookbook began in September, when Prokupek, who is leading the yearlong project, selected a committee of around 14 people to create a Penn Appétit cookbook. Since then, the team has been developing and photographing recipes, reaching out to alumni, and building Whisk’s social media presence.

The cookbook will be almost entirely the work of Penn students, from cooking and photography to design layout and site building.

Twelve student cooks contributed original recipes, revamped family recipes, and updated Penn Appétit recipes. The culinary team tested

the recipes at least three times.

A crash course food photography workshop with Alex Lau, staff photographer at Bon Appétit Magazine, helped the Whisk team better envision what they wanted the cookbook to look like, said College junior Isabel Zapata, the

club’s current photo editor and one of Whisk’s contributing photographers.

Departing from Penn Appétit’s usual photography style, the photography team decided to take inspiration from Lau’s tutorial and focus on studio shoots.

“We thought it was a good idea to kind of mimic [him] but add our own style,” Zapata said.

Prokupek said she hopes to send a final draft of the book to a publisher at the end of the spring semester. “[People] can hopefully buy it

at the end of the year and be just as excited about it and want to use the recipes we’ve been developing,” Prokupek said. “I think it’s so cool that we have this community in a school that’s so academically rigorous, that we can come together and develop these amazing recipes.”

Why Gutmann’s Vanguard position raises questions Vanguard has indirect links to recent Texas shooting ALIZA OHNOUNA Senior Reporter

The Vanguard Group, one of the world’s largest asset management firms, has been indirectly linked to the weapon used in last month’s Texas shooting — and Penn President Amy Gutmann sits on its board.

Gutmann earns around $200,000 of annual compensation as a member of Vanguard’s board of directors in addition to her $3.5 million salary.

Vanguard is the second largest institutional shareholder of two American firearm manufacturing companies: American Outdoors Brands Company and Sturm, Ruger, and Co., according to the website of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations.

Investment corporation BlackRock is listed as the first largest institutional shareholder of both companies.

Sturm, Ruger, and Co. produced the weapon that was used to kill 26 people in the Sutherland Springs, Texas shooting last month.

Penn’s connection to the $4.7 trillion asset firm is reflected in University employees’ retirement plans.

The Vanguard Group, along with TIAA Financial Services, is one of the two investment management firms from which the University has allowed its employees to choose retirement plans since 1984, Vice President of University Communications Stephen MacCarthy said.

All 20 faculty and staff members whom The Daily Pennsylvanian contacted, including Provost Wendell Pritchett, Dean of the College of Arts and

Sciences Paul Sniegowski, Associate Vice President of the Netter Center for Community Partnerships Ira Harkavy, the Faculty Senate Chair-Elect Jennifer Pinto-Martin, and Susan Sorenson, a professor of Social Policy specializing in firearms purchases, did not respond to or declined to respond to requests for comment.

Vanguard’s huge retirement accounts and its role as the largest provider of mutual funds in the world means that many companies — including The Daily Pennsylvanian — invest in the asset management firm.

But some still question the ethics behind Penn’s affiliation with Vanguard.

“It is shameful that Penn purports itself as such a positive influence in reshaping West Philadelphia and yet benefits from the sale of guns in a city with one of the highest murder

rates in the country,” said Natalie Breuel, College senior and founder of now-defunct Penn Against Gun Violence.

“Penn wants to help, but only in a way that they can benefit.

It doesn’t matter that they are benefitting from gun sales so long as Penn is safe in its bubble,” she added.

This is not the first time the Penn community has questioned where the University’s money is allocated. Fossil Free Penn is a campus organization that has focused on pushing Penn to divest from fossil fuels since 2014, though little has changed on an administrative level.

In an interview with Vanguard last week, Gutmann said, “It’s that same spirit of common sense (which is not so common!), prudent planning, and steady incremental improvement that has enabled

both Penn and Vanguard to navigate the challenges and opportunities of today as well as prepare for a very bright and very long future.”

Gutmann has served on Van-

guard’s Board since 2006, two years after becoming Penn’s President. Judith Rodin, her predecessor, served on the boards of American Airlines, Comcast, and CitiGroup.

It specializes in chicken sandwiches and salads AVNI KATARIA Contributing Reporter

Right around the corner from Wishbone, a new chicken joint is making its mark on campus.

On Dec. 7, Hatch & Coop held the grand opening of its new chicken restaurant on 40th Street between Walnut and Sansom streets. From noon to 3 p.m., the business served complimentary homemade ice cream sandwiches to dozens of people.

Happy with the outcome of the opening, founder and owner Gary Dorfman said the establishment expected to serve around 300 to 400 people as the day progressed, adding that the fried chicken sandwich was his bestseller.

Dorfman was also the brain behind Jake’s Sandwich Board, the restaurant that Hatch & Coop replaced next to Hai Street Kitchen & Co. Dorfman said Hatch & Coop grew out of Jake’s, which opened in 2014, as he realized the positives of working with chicken after experimenting with it for the last year.

The restaurant hopes to serve “fast food you can feel good about,” Dorfman said. The restaurant caters specifically to students with its affordable pricing — $6 for a chicken sandwich — and simple menu.

The menu has only a “handful of items, well executed,” Dorfman said, including two sandwiches, a salad, fries, and a vegetarian option of cauliflower steak.

According to Dorfman, Hatch & Coop specializes in both allnatural chicken and simplicity.

“I want to take a simple approach with everything,” he said.

“With the menu, I want my customers to get it and I want my team to get it. Same thing with marketing, we’re hoping to connect with the people and the word spreads organically.”

Among the first customers of the day were College seniors Matt Cartwright and Jake Raynis.

Both Cartwright and Raynis had heard about Hatch & Coop from friends.

Cartwright said he had heard about the free ice cream sandwiches but came in looking for something spicy. “The food was amazing,” he continued. Raynis said he would encourage people to visit.

Hatch & Coop is open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and now, in Dorfman’s words, “it’s all about chicken.”

Medical gauze, air filtration masks, and photos of bacteria may not evoke images of art, but these were exactly the materials that Penn School of Design students used for their final projects displayed at the Esther Klein Gallery last week.

Students in FNAR-268: “Biological Design,” apply scientific concepts to product design.

up with a product designed for a speculative world, such as a world after a large volcanic eruption, or a situation where humans have to migrate to Mars. Stu-

dents develop these storylines to spark discussion about the social and ethical issues behind their products.

Students showcased their final

projects on Dec. 6 at the Esther Klein Gallery located at 3600 Market Street.

College sophomore Jennifer Higa was part of a group that studied the anatomy of an eye and learned that each person’s iris pattern is unique.

The group created a speculative world where humans moved to Mars but were not welcomed

by Martians. They developed biometric identifiers — essentially glasses resembling the iris of a person’s eye — for the Martians to distinguish themselves from outsiders.

“Someone interpreted it as anti-immigration because of the current state of politics when we were trying to focus more on anti-gentrification,” Higa said.

“It was interesting to see how people reacted to the social and political implications of the project.”

The class meets twice a week, with one day dedicated to studio and design work and the other to lab work, where students can work with bacteria. College junior Renee Hastings, who worked on the project with Higa, said her group faced delays when bacteria didn’t grow as expected.

“When you’re drawing, you have complete control over how it’s going to turn out,” Hastings said. “But you can’t control how bacteria grows, so there’s a lot less freedom.”

College junior Cristina Vaca worked on designing an air filtration mask, which was created in response to a speculative world where a volcano in Yellowstone National Park erupted and left the planet covered in ashes.

Without sunlight, Vaca’s group predicted crop failure across the country. The group fermented mycelium, the root

of mushrooms, to create edible protein in response to the food shortage.

Director of Undergraduate Programs in Fine Arts Matt Neff said professors are working on expanding the BioDesign field at Penn. Neff and Telhan are working to create a follow-up course for the class, but have yet to finalize any plans.

“Art and design do bleed into these other subject areas,” Neff said. “We are actively talking about what the next offering could be and mapping out a program around it.”

Vaca said she hopes the design school will offer more integrated courses like BioDesign.

“Penn talks a lot about how interdisciplinary they are, but I think a lot of those programs are more focused in other departments other than design,” she said.

Cinema students respond to Hollywood sexual assault allegations

Woody Allen films still appear on course syllabi GIOVANNA PAZ Staff Reporter

Amid the ongoing fallout from sexual assault allegations in the film industry, many Penn students taking cinema studies courses are reconsidering how certain films should be addressed in the classroom.

Engineering sophomore Curie Shim watched the film “Annie Hall” in her class, CIMS 180: “Cinema that changes cinema.”

The film was directed by Woody Allen, who has been accused of molesting his adopted daughter.

Shim said the movie was shown as a part of a student’s presentation on the film. She added that Allen’s past was not openly discussed, though she wished it had been.

Moving forward, Shim added that she thinks it is important that classroom discussions and syllabi shed light on “not just sexual violence, but all systems of oppression.”

“I think something that should be avoided is showing films by people who have clearly committed sexual violence,” Shim said. “If it’s deemed necessary to show, it should be accompanied by the discussion about how their character influences their work and how the film should be interpreted.”

President of the Abuse and Sexual Assault Prevention group and College senior Caroline Ohlson agreed, adding that failing to acknowledge these behaviors would be a “disservice to our generation as we’re learning.”

Ohlson mentioned that she has noticed some incorporation of the topic within cinema studies and in

her course CIMS 285: “The Art and Business of Film.” She said when the allegations surrounding film producer Harvey Weinstein emerged in October, her professor spent the first hour of one of their classes talking about power imbalances within the industry.

When approached for comment, Director of Cinema and Media Studies Peter Decherney directed The Daily Pennsylvanian to Associate Director Nicola M. Gentili. Gentili reached out to cinema studies faculty and graduate students, who did not respond to requests for comment.

College senior Barry Oshiba said in his course this semester, CIMS 370: “Blacks in American Film and Television,” the professor showed the class works of Bill Cosby, another actor infamous for multiple sexual assault allegations.

“In terms of the curriculum it-

Study for

self,” Oshiba said, “I’m not sure if anything should be modified or changed at all in terms of learning the content.”

Ohlson somewhat disagreed, arguing that movies featuring people accused of sexual assault should be contextualized with a discussion.

“I think you can’t separate art from the people who make it,” Ohlson said. “While these films will have a lasting impact, and a lot of them are really important in the history of film, you can’t divorce [the person from their actions] — you still have to hold people accountable.”

Oshiba, who serves as president of the Kinoki Senior Society, an organization for students who want to pursue work in entertainment, noted that there is rising concern among members of the group about possibly facing these issues once in the industry.

Hollywood figures like Harvey Weinstein and Woody Allen have been accused of sexual assault, but their films continue to be studied at Penn.

“It’s something that we really are weary about as we go into the industry,” Oshiba said. “All 30 of us in the society are pretty set on

Ezekiel Emanuel debates health care at Penn panel Emanuel was an advisor for President Obama CHAE HAHN Contributing Reporter

Despite the GOP’s failure to pass its health care bill in Congress this summer, the Trump administration has continued to make efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act. This effort has sparked conversations about health care reform throughout the nation and on Penn’s campus.

Furthering this debate, two scholars with differing stances on the policy spoke to the Penn community on Dec. 7: Penn Vice Provost for Global Initiatives and Chair of the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy Ezekiel Emanuel, who worked on the ACA as an advisor to the Obama administration, and American Enterprise Institute fellow Thomas Miller, who co-wrote the 2011 book, “Why Obamacare is Wrong for America.”

The event was hosted by AEI Council at Penn, Penn Govern-

ment & Politics Association, the Wharton Public Policy Initiative student group, and the Wharton Undergraduate Healthcare Club.

While the two mainly discussed health care reform, they also spoke about the partisan divide in today’s political climate.

Emanuel said that regardless of the metrics, the ACA was a “huge success” in expanding coverage, reducing health care expenditure, and improving quality of health care. He argued that the Republican-majority Congress has refused to improve problems with the law.

Miller said that while the Republican attempt to replace the ACA earlier this year offered a “consequential critique” of the system, the party lacked the ability to provide an alternative approach. He added that a major overhaul of the health care program would take time, but the Trump administration could alter parts of the policy in upcoming years.

“What’s going on right now in the course of the tax reform

Ezekiel Emanuel, an advisor on the Affordable Care Act, debated Thomas Miller, who co-wrote, “Why Obamacare is Wrong for America.”

is the repeal of the individual mandate,” Miller said. “In a practical sense, this is an opportunistic move to sell off a declining asset and add a source of revenue to the national budget.”

Discussing broader ways to improve public health, Emanuel emphasized the need to in-

corporate more social services, including expanded early childhood preventative care, into the

existing health care system.

Miller argued such services shouldn’t be “medicalized,” and instead should be left as decentralized initiatives, adding that patients should weigh the value of such care against costs.

Looking to the future of health care in America, Emanuel said there are long-term changes to be made, such as cutting health care costs by reducing “unnecessary services” and lowering drug prices.

“Overall in the United States, though, there is a lot of innovation happening, and I think by 2030, we are going to have a substantially better health care system,” Emanuel said.

Both scholars agreed that a bipartisan effort to redesign health care policy is unlikely in the near future.

College and Wharton sopho-

more and AEI Council member Max Grove said his group hosted the event so students could hear both conservative and liberal perspectives on health care policy.

“It was great to see the students engaged and to see the discussion get heated at times,” he said. “Overall, I think the event promoted a positive view of ‘learning’ on campus.”

College and Wharton freshman Sima Parekh said that while the two scholars held contrasting opinions on what health care in the future should look like, they agreed on many points.

“They also agreed that the current political state isn’t under adequate leadership to improve anything,” Parekh added. “They both seemed to be waiting for 2020 to see real actions.”

Jones’ deadly shooting earns him Player of the Week M. HOOPS | Senior shot 75 percent from beyond the arc YOSEF WEITZMAN Sports Editor

highbrow ego food & drink film feature music arts lowbrow highbrow ego food & drink film feature music arts lowbrow highbrow ego food & drink film feature music arts lowbrow

Penn men’s basketball had a great week, and much of that success is owed to senior forward Sam Jones.

Jones’ stellar shooting and efficiency helped propel the Quakers to three straight road victories this week and were also enough to earn him DP Sports’ Player of the Week.

Jones was quiet in last Monday’s win over Howard with only three points, but his performances improved with each passing game.

Against Lafayette on 34 3434 the Arizona native STWednesday, STST scored nine points on three for five shooting (three for four

from three) and on Saturday against Dayton, Jones finished with 15 points after taking all six of his shot attempts from behind the arc.

Perhaps what was most impressive about Jones’ play, though, was just how efficient his scoring was. Jones finished the week with almost as many points (27) as minutes (31), and in each of Penn’s last two games, his scoring total exceeded his total minutes played.

After the Dayton win, which was the most impressive of the Red and Blue’s eight wins so far this season, coach Steve Donahue attributed the upset to Jones’ play.

“It’s hard to imagine winning that game without his input,” Donahue said. “We know what we can do. I think it’s a heck of a weapon.”

DO DO DOYOU YOU YOUPAY PAY PAYPER PER PERVIEW? VIEW? VIEW?

In total, Jones took 12 shots from behind the arc this week and made nine of them to record a staggering 75 percent three-point percentage. His only shot from inside the line was a miss.

“My guys were just getting me open shots. My job is to shoot the ball when I’m open, and the guys just got me the ball in great spots,” Jones said after the Dayton victory.

For Jones, this week’s performances might have been his best since his 2015-2016 sophomore season in which he started 23 games, even though Jones has not started a single game this year. Last season, he averaged less than four points per game as he bounced in and out of the rotation.

If he can keep this shooting up, his senior season has a chance to be his best yet.

en’s squads are led by women.

Understandably seeking more equality in this realm, Van Dyke expressed disappointment at the lack of development of female coaches at younger age levels, but was still optimistic that soccer could gradually catch up.

“I’m not against men coaching women. I was coached by a man, and one of the greatest gifts he gave me was that he empowered me to want to coach. And so other men can do the same; men can empower their women to go on and be coaches,” she said. “I don’t want it to ever be looked at as men stealing jobs from women — I think we need to partner with men.”

Aside from soccer, though, it seems that these nationwide trends are relatively set in stone. Studies in recent years have been undoubtedly right regarding the sharp decline of female coaches — and independent of the causes of the lack of women coaches in individual sports, at least in the team sports, it appears that female leaders are here to stay.

THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN | THEDP.COM

Women’s basketball proved it is ready for an Ivy title run ferent. The Fighting Irish (8-1) have one of the best scoring offenses in the nation, averaging 84.4 points, but the Red and Blue shut them down.

And it wasn’t like Notre Dame didn’t shoot well. The Irish shot 50% from the field — but Penn’s defense got to them before they could shoot. The Quakers had a season-high 12 steals and forced Notre Dame into committing 22 turnovers. The full-court press, led by an especially disruptive Anna Ross, created confusion early, and caused plenty of bad decisions from the Irish. “The press, I thought we were really careless with the ball, and that forced us into 22 turnovers, which was not a good day for the Irish,� Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said.

Penn held the Fighting Irish to

If there’s one thing we learned today, it’s that this team can flatout play.

Few expected Penn women’s basketball to beat, or even hang with, No. 3 Notre Dame. But that didn’t stop the Quakers from playing their hearts out in a 6654 loss. And in that effort, they showcased why they are once again the favorites to win the Ivy title.

It starts with the defense. Under coach Mike McLaughlin, the Red and Blue (2-4) have always been defined by a stalwart defensive unit, and today was no dif-

Even though she only had one basket, Penn women’s basketball’s offense ran through senior point guard Anna Ross, who had six assists.

just 42 points in three quarters.

It was only in the fourth quarter that Notre Dame found its groove and pulled away for good. All

told, the Irish finished with a season-low 66 points.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Quakers struggled to es-

tablish themselves against a bigger, quicker, and stronger Notre Dame defense. But that was expected, and there were certainly some bright spots that bode well for conference play.

The first of which was the stellar passing from Anna Ross. The senior point guard might not have had the best day shooting, but she did an excellent job slinging the ball around the court and finding open shooters. Even when she doesn’t have the best offensive “Anna struggled to score the ball, but she ran the show tonight,� McLaughlin said. “She does what she does, she battles, competes, makes the team better.�

The star of the offense today was undoubtedly senior guard Lauren Whitlatch, who led the team with 18 points on 50%

shooting from three. Whitlatch’s performance against the Irish was exactly what the Quakers need from her going forward— a sharpshooter who provides the Red and Blue with a clutch three when they need it.

There were certainly things that could have gone better. The team shot only 31% from the field, and Notre Dame exploited the holes down low in Penn’s zone. But the Quakers hung tough with one of the best teams in the country, and with that they sent a message to the rest of the Ancient Eight: Bring it on.

Injured and overmatched, wrestling falls to No. 5 Lehigh, 41-6 Red and Blue were missing half of their normal starters

tlers needed to be in top form for Penn’s upset bid to become reality. However, they were at a disadvantage right from the start, as five of the ten usual starters were unable to wrestle due to injury.

Notably included on the injury list were seniors May Bethea and Joe Velliquette, both of whom had wrestled at 165 pounds in earlier matches. Also missing were two wrestlers who had placed in earlier tournaments, as freshman Dan Planta at 125 pounds and senior Patrik Garren at 285 pounds were injured.

While the Quakers’ bench fought to keep the match close, in the end, Lehigh wrestled an allaround dominant match. Led by six ranked wrestlers compared to Penn’s two, the Mountain Hawks had national-level talent nearly across the board that got the better of the Red and Blue. “They’re an outstanding team, clearly one of the best teams in the country,� coach Roger Reina said. “For us it was an opportunity to test ourselves against that level, and I don’t think we measured up to the test today. Obvi-

David couldn’t topple Goliath.

Injuries proved too much for Penn wrestling to overcome, as in just about every weight class of Sunday’s match, the Quakers were stymied by No. 5 Lehigh and fell by a score of 41-6. Although the Red and Blue (3-2) briefly held the lead at 6-5 after two bouts, Lehigh (5-1) scored 36 unanswered points to close out the match.

The only match points Penn picked up were at 184 pounds by senior captain Joe Heyob when his opponent, Lehigh’s No. 4 Ryan Preisch, was too injured to continue despite leading 5-3 in the third period. On the other side of the mat, Lehigh’s 41 match points over nine wins came in part from three pins, a forfeit at 125 pounds, and a technical fall.

All of the Red and Blue wres-

ously, we were out quite a number of starters too, but nonetheless, I think we’re capable of more than what we showed today.�

Another key factor Lehigh had on their side was in-match momentum. Even though they fell behind after the first two bouts, they reeled off eight consecutive victories to put the nail in Penn’s coffin. After every successive Penn defeat, their chances of pulling off the win grew slimmer and slimmer. “As the momentum swung so heavily in their favor, you could just kind of feel it roll over our team,� Reina said.

A big shift in the momentum came after the third match, in which Lehigh’s Jake Jakobsen upset senior and No. 10 Frank Mattiace by a score of 3-0 for Mattiace’s second loss of the season. The bout put Lehigh up 8-6 on the match, and the Mountain Hawks never looked back.

Freshman Gianni Ghione, who has the team’s second-most pins after Mattiace, fell to Lehigh’s Nick Farro 5-1 at 133 pounds three matches later, and Jon Err-

yet another good chance to see the highest-level competition in preparation for another potential NCAA Tournament bid come March, should they win the Ivy League Tournament again. After facing Georgia Tech and Notre Dame, McLaughlin expressed pleasure at the experience his team was getting playing against the very best.

For now, though, Penn must turn its attention to Monday night, when it travels to Saint Joseph’s for its second Big 5 game of the season.

The Quakers lost their first intracity competition of the season with a 66-59 defeat at La Salle in November but will look to notch their first win in just two days’ time.

from behind the arc, scoring 18 points with a careerhigh six three-pointers off 50 percent shooting from downtown. Whitlatch’s hot shooting kept the Quakers in the game for most of the night, even when their deficit reached as high as 20. The rest of the team averaged just 26 percent from the field.

In the frontcourt, the game was rather one-sided. Notre Dame put up 40 of its 66 points in the paint, where its two bigs got the better of senior captain Michelle Nwokedi and rookie Eleah Parker.

Nwokedi managed to record four blocks but also recorded

just four points. Parker mustered up 10 thanks to efforts by the Fighting Irish to shut Nwokedi down at the expense of giving Penn’s other big more space.

Despite being out-sized and out-played, the Quakers’ defense still forced Notre Dame into a season-high 22 turnovers, something that McGraw lamented after the game.

They also limited their guests to just 52 shots to their 69, but because the Fighting Irish shot a clinical 50 percent on the night, they were able to find their way past a defense that McGraw noted they hated to play against.

Moral victories aside, the contest also gave the Quakers

by Ian Brown to put the result out of question.

Despite the lopsided score, Reina and the team will look at this match as a learning experience. “It’s December 10, so we’ve got several months here before the conference championships and the NCAA championships,�

Reina said. “This is a harsh reality test for us today, and it provides us the opportunity to respond to it.�

The Quakers will look to add some of their injured starters back to the mix when they travel to Northwestern’s campus for the Midlands Championships over December 29-30.

Four takeaways from Quakers’ upset over Dayton M. HOOPS | Penn not fazed by hostile road atmosphere

play in a raucous road environment. "[I told the team to] go out and make plays, not make mistakes, and if we do make mistakes, just move on,” Penn coach Steve Donahue said.

The Red and Blue took this to heart, as they remained composed, even after surrendering a 16-0 run in the first half, as they were able to pull away at the end to complete the upset.

Closing the game was not a problem Although Penn trailed for less than two minutes the en-

tire game, Dayton kept it close and forced the Quakers to make winning plays down the stretch.

Penn stood up to the task by locking down on defense and making clutch free throws when needed most.

With 3:34 to play in the game, the Quakers led 65-63. From there, they opened up the game, taking a 74-65 lead, highlighted by four made free throws from sophomore guard Ryan Betley and senior guard Darnell Foreman.

“I would take Darnell and Ryan in any situation [at the foul

line],” Donahue said.

Overall, Penn was better from the charity stripe than in past games, as the team shot 13-18 (72 percent), an improvement from the 62 percent rate on the season entering today. In contrast, the Quakers did a terrific job of playing defense without fouling, only giving Dayton five free throw opportunities the whole game.

Penn’s defensive execution was especially magnified in crunch time, as the Flyers managed to score just four points from the 4:38 mark to the 1:17 mark in the second half. The only way to beat a team in a road environment as hostile as Dayton’s is to play solid defense and make key foul shots, and the Quakers did both on Saturday.

Unbelievable three-point shooting propelled the Quakers to victory While Penn’s defense and free throw shooting down the stretch was invaluable, the team’s lightsout shooting from beyond the arc was what carried the day. The Red and Blue did a great job of getting shooters open, and when players were open, they almost never missed their opportunity.

ing all four of shots from the charity stripe.

Penn’s lead – both at the end of the first half and in the second – was maintained in large part thanks to senior sharpshooter Sam Jones, who made five of his six three-point attempts, including several with a hand in his face from well beyond the arc. Jones finished the game with more points (15) than minutes (13), proving his x-factor ability even in limited minutes.

“Its hard to imagine winning that game without his input. If

Sam can do his role — come in cold and be successful… We know what he can do. I think it’s a heck of a weapon,” Donahue said.

“My guys were just getting me open shots. My job is to shoot the ball when I’m open, and the guys just got me the ball in great spots,” Jones said.

Woods, a Cincinnati, Ohio native, had a huge game in his return to his home state.

The guard scored a team-high 17 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished out five assists and played all but six minutes in

one of the most complete games this season. Woods’ all-around game allowed the Quakers to move the ball efficiently, leading to a balanced offense: four players reached double figures.

“It was just fun to be back in that arena, I played there lots of times in high school. I’ve never lost a game in that gym, so I’m glad to be leaving still undefeated, Woods said. “It was always a great environment to play in, so I was excited. My family came out to the game, lots of people I haven’t seen in a while, so it was a great experience.”

DANNY CHIARODIT Sports Reporter

Penn men’s basketball capped off its 8-game stretch away from home with a 78-70 victory over Dayton. The Quakers outplayed the Flyers for most of the contest, as Dayton led for only one minute and 55 seconds throughout the entire game. Here are the most important takeaways from this impressive Penn victory: The Quakers are Road-Tested As the past few years have shown, it is not easy to beat Dayton on its own home court. In the last three seasons, the Flyers have compiled a home record of 46-4, a key reason why they have appeared in the NCAA tournament in each of those seasons.

And while this year’s Dayton team, after losing four key seniors and head coach Archie Miller, does not seem to be of the same caliber as the teams of recent past, the Flyers’ home court advantage is something that cannot be ignored.

Given this, Penn’s 78-70 win over the Flyers in Dayton shows that the Quakers are road-tested.

Their 6-2 record during the threeweek stretch away from home is impressive enough, but this win proves that Penn is not afraid to

ing lead. For every bucket from Cunningham and the Flyers, the Quakers answered with one or two of their own.

With a just over a minute left and Penn up five, Dayton started fouling. Unlike previous games, the Quakers managed to take advantage of their free throws, preserving the lead and securing the upset – the first Ivy League team ever to beat Dayton. Foreman especially took advantage of his chances, mak-

ZACH SHELDON | SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR

Penn men’s basketball junior guard Antonio Woods scored 17 points to help the Quakers defeat Dayton in Woods’ return to his home state.

The Quakers shot an astounding 59 percent from three, compared to Dayton’s 35 percent.

Senior forward Sam Jones led the way with a 5-6 performance from deep, in which he had more points (15) than minutes (13).

Also shooting with efficiency from deep were Foreman and Betley, who went 2-3 and 3-6, respectively.

A key factor that led to this three-point shooting clinic was the impressive passing display put on by Penn. Of the 26 field goals made by the Red and Blue, 20 of them came off of assists. If the Quakers can continue to play with this efficiency, there’s no doubt that they will be competing for an Ivy League Champi-

onship come March.

Woods and Brodeur did it all for Penn Filling up the stat sheet on Saturday were Antonio Woods and A.J. Brodeur. Woods, the junior guard, picked up 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, which included a quick 8 points to propel Penn to a 21-7 lead early in the first half.

Brodeur, as has been the case all season, was double-teamed for most of the night. He took advantage of this against Dayton by dishing a game-high seven dimes, while still managing to score 9 points and corral 5 rebounds.

However, perhaps the most significant contribution from the sophomore forward was what did not come up in the box score.

Brodeur drew two offensive fouls on Dayton forward Kostas Antetokounmpo, putting him in foul trouble and limiting his time on the court to just 16 minutes.

In total, Penn played great basketball when Woods and Brodeur were on the court. With Woods on the floor, the Quakers outscored the Flyers by 18 points, and with Brodeur out there, Penn had a 21 point advantage.

The win marks perhaps the biggest win in the Donahue era.

According to Donahue, Dayton was a much tougher environment than UCF was a year ago.

To go into a routinely successful team’s home court and pull out a decisive win is a huge accomplishment, even if the Quakers try to down play what the win means.

“This is probably the biggest win in my career here at Penn.

I’ve never played in an environment or a stadium that big and it was sold out, so it was awesome. It didn’t feel like an up-

set, it felt like we were supposed to win that game”, Jones said.

“This was our eighth straight away from home, and we’ve done a lot of good things, but we haven’t played our best game yet,” Donahue said.

Penn’s next game is in another two weeks, giving the Quakers a chance to prepare for finals and rest up ahead of the new semester and the start of Ivy League play. When the Quakers return to action, it will be as part of a nine-game homestand featuring two Big 5 and five Ivy League opponents.

underrepresented: the status of woman coaches in college athletics

MIRIAM MINSK, TAMSYN BRANN, CHRISTINE LAM | DESIGN ASSOCIATES

Men tend to coach individualbased women’s teams COLE JACOBSON Senior Sports Reporter

Across the nation, the number of female coaches in college sports is decreasing. Additionally, Penn has the smallest number of female coaches of its women’s teams in the Ivy League.

But why is this a trend? And what is life actually like for such coaches?

All athletic directors have their own hiring methods, and all coaches interact with their respective teams

differently, but both within Penn itself and the entire NCAA, team sports tend to have female coaches at a very high rate, while sports more individual in nature have been hiring male coaches in increasing numbers — and this is no coincidence.

Penn is perhaps one of the best examples of this concept. Penn has six women’s programs in the true team sports: basketball, soccer, field hockey, volleyball, lacrosse and softball. Five of these six teams’ head coaches are female; the lone exception is women’s basketball’s Mike McLaughlin.

In contrast, of Penn’s nine women’s teams with larger individual aspects,

only one coach is female: women’s tennis’ Sanela Kunovac, who declined to interview for this story. But why is this the case?

For starters, one major factor is the occasional overlap involving one coach simultaneously in charge of both men’s and women’s teams.

In a true team sport, factors such as designing different play books and managing totally separate personnels render coaching two teams in sports like basketball or soccer infeasible.

But in a sport like swimming or track and field, the dynamic is different. Male and female athletes learn the same techniques, and their teams don’t necessarily have different tac-

tics. As a result, it is more feasible for a single coach to lead two teams in these instances. Penn has taken full advantage of this, with track and field, swimming, cross country, and fencing being led by one head coach for men and women — a male coach in every case.

“We felt this structure worked well for us,” former Penn Athletic Director Steven Bilsky said in July. “Mike Schnur [swimming], Steve Dolan [track and cross country], Andy Ma [fencing] and Jack Wyant [squash] all produced squads who have made a national impact. … It’s possible if this model changes in the future, there will be more total head coaches

at Penn.”

But the “overlap” factor only accounts for a small portion of athletic teams. There are other explanations for the team vs. individual sport imbalance, one of them being that, to many in the hiring process, playing experience is a near-requisite to successful coaching.

Most American men don’t grow up playing sports like field hockey, softball, or even lacrosse once taken into account that men’s and women’s lacrosse have two totally different sets of rules. As such, when it comes time for athletic directors to find prospecSEE TITLE IX PAGE 13

78 70

That’s a pretty great way to end the semester.

In the last game before a twoweek break, Penn men’s basketball overpowered Dayton on the road in an emphatic 78-70 win.

The Quakers (8-4) outshot the Flyers (4-5) from every area of the court, most notably from beyond the arc.

The Quakers opened the scoring at the UD Arena with a pair of three pointers from senior Darnell Foreman and junior Antonio Woods, which put them ahead 6-2 a minute into the game. From there, Penn’s shooting and stifling defense put them ahead 21-7 with 12 minutes to go in the half.

Dayton wasn’t ready to lay down just yet. The Flyers rattled off a 16-0 run over the next seven minutes. The Quakers’ defense, which looked so good in the first eight minutes, suddenly couldn’t get a stop. Dayton’s Josh Cunningham in particular was hard to guard, finishing with

21 points and a perfect shooting day from the field.

“During that stretch they switched from zone to man [defense] and we struggled. We didn’t do a good job of getting the momentum and that place starts rocking and all the momentum was towards Dayton,” coach Steve Donahue said.

“Any time there are stretches like that – I don’t think it’s something that we’re really overly concerned with because

we don’t hurt ourselves. We take care of the ball typically, we don’t let teams crash boards.

I’m more proud that we hung in there and went on to the next play after that run and really played some good basketball.”

After trading buckets for the remainder of the first half, the Red and Blue slowly started to regain momentum. In the second half, Penn gradually built a last-

Penn women’s basketball hosted the No. 3 team in the nation at the Palestra on Saturday afternoon and fell to Notre Dame, 66-54.

The Quakers (2-4) only trailed by eight points entering the fourth quarter and held the NCAA’s second highest-scoring team to a season-low 66 points, but in the end the Fighting Irish (91) were simply too powerful to keep up with. Strong first and fourth quarters from the visitors, in which they scored 22 and 24 points, respectively, saw them edge Penn despite struggling to handle the host’s defense in the middle frames.

“I thought Penn did a really good job of controlling the game,” Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said.

“I thought they had the tempo right where they wanted it.

They wanted the score in the 60s; we wanted it in the 80s.

They won.”

“I’m proud of this group, outside of the final score — we don’t want to play for moral victories, but I’m proud of the way we competed and represented Penn,” Quakers

coach Mike McLaughlin said.

Other than a 19-10 run over five minutes of the fourth quarter and a 13-5 run over four minutes in the first, the Quakers outscored the Fighting Irish over the remaining 31 minutes of the game. McLaughlin expressed remorse, wishing to get those minutes back, but was nonetheless proud of how his team handled one of the NCAA’s powerhouses.
