Students support police body cameras

Black campus groups are calling for Penn Police to adopt body cam-eras — but Penn Police says it will not be adopting the technology any

time soon.Leaders of each of the three main

black community groups on campus all say they want Penn Police to adopt body cameras. But Penn Police says that storing camera data is expensive, and they are not currently moving forward with the initiative.

“There are lots of pros and cons

to having a body camera on,” said Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush in a January inter-view. While the cameras provide greater accountability, she said that it is expensive to store the footage and that officers must shut off the cameras in private residences if they are so requested.

“I support body cameras all the

way” said UMOJA co-chair and College sophomore Ray Clark. “In any scenario, it brings accountabil-ity to the issue.”

Clark is concerned about racial profiling close to campus. “I defi-nitely feel there’s a stigma against the West Philadelphia community,”

Love your Valentine with a love song

Valentine’s Day is not just a holiday filled with love, flow-ers and chocolate — it’s also an opportunity to get serenaded by well-dressed men.

Every year, the Penn Glee Club organizes Singing Val-entines, an event where people can place orders to have mem-bers deliver songs to their valentine . This is the club’s 20th year planning the event.

This year, the Glee Club’s proceeds will be donated to the Penn Foundation for In-ternational Medical Relief of Children.

When delivering their val-entines, the members split up into small groups and sing one of three songs — one of the most common being “My Val-entine.” They deliver messages to almost anyone on campus, from the average student in a dorm room, to the president of the University. “It’s kind of an annual tradition, actually, surprising Amy Gutmann and taking a photo with her,” busi-ness manager of the Glee Club and Wharton senior Justin

Kim said.On Saturday, suited Glee

Club members paraded into Pottruck Health and Fitness Center ready to work out their vocal chords. After climbing two flights of stairs, the group delivered a valentine in the middle of a Zumba class. Other stops on their trek included Sansom West, the high rises and fraternity houses along 42nd Street .

They deliver the songs in-person or through the phone. In-person deliveries remain a fan favorite. “It’s fun to in-terrupt a big lecture class for one specific person,” Col-lege freshman Mack Finkel said. “I really love it when it’s awkward. Even when it’s un-comfortable, people still really enjoy it.”

Romance mixed with friendly embarrassment is a hallmark of this annual tra-dition. “Some people are embarrassed, some people are happy and some valentines are kept anonymous,” Kim said. “One of them was from a ‘secret admirer in the same classroom,’ and everyone was looking at each other. It was a small classroom, only 20

Penn students might be quick to support a recent Republican proposal in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives: more liquor stores and cheaper alco-hol.

House Majority Leader Dave Reed (R-Indiana County) an-nounced a bill last week to privatize Pennsylvania liquor stores, which House Republi-cans hope to vote on and pass on Feb. 23. If passed by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor, it would phase out Pennsylvania state-run liquor stores by selling them to private distributors. It would also autho-rize 1,200 liquor licenses in the

state.The high prices and few loca-

tions of current state-run liquor stores have driven Penn students out of the state in search of cheap liquor. “I probably go to Dela-ware for alcohol several times per month,” said a College senior who preferred to remain anony-mous since he often supplies alcohol to minors. “The main reason is that it’s cheaper and you can buy it in bulk. A cheap handle of alcohol in Delaware is about 10 or 11 dollars, and in Pennsylvania … it’s like 16 or 17.”

“For a 25 minute drive there and back, it’s like five dollars worth of gas money, and you easily save that much in one handle,” he added. “So if you are buying a thousand dollars worth of champagne or beer, the trip [to Delaware] is totally worth it.”

While House Republicans’ motivation for the proposal is balancing the state budget rather than making alcohol more avail-able, privatizing Pennsylvania’s state-run liquor stores would drastically alter the market for

alcohol in the state.“We thought this was a good

opportunity to put a potential revenue source on the table for the budget discussions,” Reed

When Democratic delegates de-scend on Philadelphia in 2016, it won’t be the first time the City of Brotherly Love has hosted presi-dential hopefuls.

In fact, the Democrats have twice before nominated their candidate for president in Phila-delphia, including in 1936, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt ac-cepted his party’s nomination for reelection with a speech at Frank-lin Field. The Republican Party,

on the other hand, has held their convention in Philadelphia six times, including in 1948 at Munic-ipal Auditorium — now the site of the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine adjacent to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

While the Municipal Audi-torium held five conventions between both parties, it was the 1948 Republican National Convention that was most conse-quential for Penn.

“The Republicans had their convention in 1948 right there and the delegates stayed in frat houses and various West Philadelphia hotels,” Director of the Univer-sity Archives and Records Center Mark Frazier Lloyd said. “Penn was right at the center of all the

action.”Heading into the primary

season that year, the favorite to top the Republican ticket was former Minnesota Governor Harold Stas-sen, who had also been appointed to the delegation that wrote the United Nations charter in 1945. Stassen, however, lost the nomi-nation to New York Governor Thomas Dewey , who in turn lost the general election to President Harry Truman. While Stassen didn’t walk away with his party’s nomination, he was offered some-thing else: the presidency of the University of Pennsylvania.

“At that time, Penn’s trust-ees were active Republicans” — including former senators and a former Supreme Court Justice

— “and some of them wanted positions in the national govern-ment,” Lloyd explained. “Several Penn Trustees right away pre-dicted privately that Dewey would lose to Truman and they be-friended Stassen and said, ‘Would you like to be president of the University of Pennsylvania, which will give you a powerful position on the East Coast ?’”

In what Lloyd described as a behind-closed-doors agreement, Thomas Gates Jr. — whose father had been the first president of the University — led the effort to recruit Stassen, and at the same time encouraged then-president, George William McClelland to retire. Stassen’s appointment was mutually beneficial, providing

Stassen with a powerful position to hold until his next election at-tempt, while also giving the Republican trustees an ear with a presidential contender.

Kathleen Stassen Berger , one of Stassen’s two children, vividly re-members moving to Philadelphia at age six and didn’t think much of her father’s career change at the time. In the years since then, she has spent considerable time won-dering why he, with his supporters in Minnesota and strong political ambitions, would take the job at Penn.

“I think it might have been because of his commitment to education,” Berger said, adding

NEC searches for vocal students to sit on University Council

The Nominations & Elec-tions Committee is looking for students who are not afraid to speak up.

The NEC is cur rent ly searching for “mis- and/or un-derrepresented " student groups to sit on the University Coun-cil. At the same time, it is also involved in recruiting new stu-dent representatives for other University-wide committees such as the Committee on Open Expression.

The NEC supervises the election process for undergrad-uate student representatives on the University Council, a forum that discusses issues

pertaining to the Penn student body. The University Council is composed of representatives from the Undergraduate As-sembly and students elected by the NEC. Every year, the NEC can appoint up to twelve seats on the University Council, with a default of nine, which are ex-clusively reserved for student representatives of mis- and underrepresented student or-ganizations, according to the NEC’s bylaws.

Wharton junior and NEC President Devin Grossman ex-plained the rationale behind this process.

“We’re given the charges under the UA to appoint repre-sentatives of underrepresented student groups,” Grossman said. “The idea is that the UA comes from the representa-tives of the majority, so we’re

empowering voices that other-wise wouldn’t be heard on the University Council.”

NEC Vice Cha i rs for Nominations College junior Aubrey Vinh and College sophomore David Scollan are responsible for supervising the nomination process for differ-ent University-wide committees and raising awareness for issues that are sometimes overlooked by the school administrators.

“In a broad sense, we help facilitate connections between students and the administra-tion,” Vinh said. “We value getting a student’s voice in different decisions that are hap-pening on campus.”

The NEC evaluates ap-plicants based on 10 specific criteria that have been enacted in the past decade, includ-ing the group’s willingness

to collaborate with other un-dergraduate groups and the strengths and weaknesses of its potential representative to the University Council.

“One of the criteria that we are looking for is potential can-didates who aren’t afraid to have their opinions heard and feel comfortable speaking on behalf of their organizations, for the mis- or underrepre-sented student community here at Penn,” Scollan said.

The NEC also emphasized that it is looking for represen-tatives from a diverse range of student groups. Last year there was a representative from the Student Sustainability As-sociation at Penn, a group for environmental advocacy and awareness.

“It’s a balancing act be-tween groups that are mis- and

underrepresented historically and in society and groups that are mis- or underrepresented here at Penn,” Scollan said.

“For example, last year we were looking for unique per-spectives on mental health,” Vinh said. “We’re making sure that the representatives repre-sent the needs that we see in the student body.”

The application process con-tains both an online application and an interview process.

Vinh and Scollan also shared the NEC’s agenda on the re-cruitment of new members for the Committee on Open Ex-pression, which will be open to all undergraduates at the start of April.

The University Council is based primarily on issues the administration wants to bring about, while the Committee on

Open Expression focuses on students with tangible ideas of how to create dialogue at Penn, Vinh said.

The NEC emphasized that they welcome new student groups and representatives to apply.

“New student perspectives are always valuable. It’s great to have other students being involved in the administrative process,” Scollan said.

Vinh agreed. “We hope to encourage new student groups to apply because University Council is a great outlet for pushing forward the agenda for the organization, in addition to helping to shape the Penn experience for the better,” she added.

University Council applica-tions are due Feb. 20 at 11:59 p.m.

College sophomore gains fame with watermelon Vine

There is only one student at Penn who can say his claim to fame is a watermelon video on Vine.

Originally from Montclair, N.J., Chaz Smith is a College sophomore majoring in Cinema Studies. Many recognize him from Vine, as he started making videos for the website during his senior year of high school. In the beginning of summer 2013, he made a “watermelon inside of a watermelon” Vine that went viral by the end of August.

Smith said that getting so much attention on Vine has been a great source of networking. He was able to meet other popular Viners like Simone Shepherd — who is known for her parodies of Beyonce — and Sam Takes

Off, who has more than 950,000 followers, and plans to attend a Vine meet-up in New York next month.

Smith hopes to go into a career in video production. He recently completed work on a video about sexual assault prevention for the organization One Student. “I’ve learned how to be a better ally to survivors of sexual assault,” he said. “It’s been an extremely humbling experience. A lot of times we think we know things but we really don’t. Experience is the greatest teacher. That was a big lesson for me.”

He recently made a music video titled “Crying My Soul Out” with Wharton freshman and rapper Kayvon Asemani. Smith said of Asemani, “He’s a super cool dude. I can’t wait to see what he’s doing in the future.” They both enjoyed creating the plot of the video and filming the more intricate scenes, he said.

“Chaz epitomizes creativity at

its finest,” Asemani said. “He’s a superstar, but he never wants you to feel that way about him. I’m lucky to have him as not only a business partner, but also a friend.”

Outside of video, Smith is involved in One in Four, an all-male sexual assault prevention and awareness group, whose goal is to teach as many people as pos-sible how to be better allies for

victims of sexual assault.“[It’s important to] build con-

fidence and knowledge of when to be able to speak up for some-thing,” Smith said.

Smith is also a board member of the Black Student League, which is getting ready for a talent show next month. Smith stressed how important it is to be a part of the League, and encouraged in-terested students to reach out to him or others about it.

“Chaz Smith is the future, simply put,” said Wharton sopho-more Amir Baiyina, who worked with Smith last year on a video and who is also a member of the Black Student League. “I am ex-cited for all the great things that he will offer this world.”

Although Smith has recently taken a break from Vine, he hopes to rev up his presence once again, especially with the Vine meet-up in March. “I wanna make sure I’m just a little bit relevant again before I meet

anybody,” he said.When asked where he derives

inspiration, Smith said, “Inspira-tion often comes spontaneously, but when I’m looking for it, I’m very faithful and I’ll pray. I’m very thankful to be doing what I’m doing. All glory goes to God.”

Smith is grateful for the oppor-tunity to study what he loves at Penn. “The Cinema Studies pro-gram at Penn is a hidden gem,” he said.

As for advice, Smith said that anyone trying to get started in the social media industry should, essentially, be silly. “To be suc-cessful on Vine, you have to be extremely outgoing or extremely witty,” Smith said. “Or you could get lucky like me and make something ridiculous that a lot of people like for no reason.”

Students can find Smith’s videos on his Vine account or on his YouTube channel, simply-putchaz.

people or so.”For some, Valentine’s Day

made them bashful. “On Thursday, I went into a room and was like, ‘Is this person here?’ and they were sitting in front of us, apparently, but they just didn’t even respond, so we just kind of sang to the room,” publicity manager of the Glee Club and College junior Daniel Carsello said.

Although the members of the Glee Club enjoy Singing Val-entines, planning the logistics can be stressful. For service chair Danny Park , it was up to him to coordinate the sing-ers’ availabilities and reach out to professors. The club’s next performance will be their production of “Philadelphia Noir,” which will run on Thurs-day, Friday and Saturday at the Iron Gate Theatre . “The night before is always the worst. People will pull all-nighters ,”

Carsello said.Despite the stress, the

Glee Club members said they genuinely enjoy spreading the message of love. “We get really happy whenever we see ourselves singing, like part of Snapchat stories, or when we show up on the newsfeed of Facebook with quotes like, ‘These are roses I received from my boyfriend, and you guys made my day,’” Kim said. “Those are little things that mean a lot to us.”

Where’s the meat? It’s going, it’s gone!

Executive Chef at Hill College House Donald Stauffer started a Meatless Monday initiative — also known as Lean and Green — this January to raise awareness and promote the practice of healthy, sustainable eating at Penn.

Every Monday, Stauffer serves a popular pasta dish made with-out animal products on the lunch menu at Hill House. Stauffer in-formally introduced the initiative last September. Since it picked up steam, it remained a regular part of the weekly menu this semester. Meat is not totally off the menu, however. The grill station still serves meat products like every other day.

“I felt it was an opportunity to do my part in offering students the option to participate,” Stauffer said. “It is an opportunity to bring to light our need to lower saturated fats and cholesterol in our diets as well as its role in fighting Type 2 diabetes.”

Stauffer’s efforts are only part of a larger global Meatless Monday campaign. Launched in 2003, Meatless Monday is a non-profit initiative in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Bloom-berg School of Public Health that hopes to reduce the consumption of meat products by 15 percent of what it was at the start date.

Another hope for Meatless Mondays at Penn is to highlight the vegan and vegetarian options already available at dining halls like Hill College House and 1920 Commons. While Stauffer doubts chefs at other dining halls will adopt Meatless Mondays, he said that Bon Appétit is ready to listen to student suggestions for similar projects. They have already had conversations with Penn Vegan Society.

Christina Zhou has been the dining liaison for PVS since fall of 2014.

Zhou meets with one of the Penn Dining chefs or nutrition-ist Dan Connolly once a week to discuss the food being served on campus.

“We talk about ways to in-crease the amount of foods that are sustainable, that are ethnically satisfying and that are healthy,” Zhou said. “We are looking to provide a wider range of foods

that are accessible to vegans, but that are also a great choice for non-vegans.”

A recent example of a desired change implemented is the addi-tion of Smart Balance butter in Hill. Zhou and the Penn Vegan Society are also looking to add a vegan monotony-breaker to the list of Penn Dining’s calendar events. Monotony-breakers are different food-related events every month to prevent dining options from be-coming stale and overused.

“When I first came to campus, I never would have expected the chefs and the Bon Appétit team to be so amenable to students’ re-quests,” Zhou said. “Bon Appétit is constantly making progress, and they are constantly willing to listen to student voices.”

Dining operations are only one facet of what PVS does.

“We also work with local res-taurants and corporations to increase the awareness of what veganism is and to increase the feasibility of the lifestyle,” Co-President and College sophomore Brianna Krejci said .

PVS also works closely with Gourmet Grocer under 1920 Com-mons, making a list of desired products for vegan students.

Penn Dining has been so suc-cessful with their vegan initiatives that Penn has been entered into the running for peta2’s Favorite Vegan-Friendly College contest . In order to be considered for the contest, Penn had to earn an A on peta2’s Vegan Report Card. Voting for the first round ends Feb. 18.

This year, while re-searchers in New York gathered data on genome structure

that will change how we treat the deadliest diseases, while scientists in Geneva analyzed the nature of particles that form the building blocks of our uni-verse, a lot of kids in California got measles.

The anti-vaccination move-ment is to blame for this out-break — and right now it’s get-ting a lot of flak for it. Scores of (at least seemingly) science-minded people are pointing out that opting out of the recom-mended vaccines for your chil-dren flies in the face of moun-tains of evidence supporting vaccines’ safety and efficacy. One popular explanation for the opt-outs is that anti-vaxxers — and similarly, global-warming-is-a-hoax-ers — are just igno-rant, obstinate or stupid. These groups are often singled out for everyone else’s derision. But I don’t think so-called “science-deniers” constitute the whole problem with the perception of science in our society. These

groups’ misconceptions about science are causing serious, tangible damage, but they’re not uniquely confused.

Even among the people who scoff at the ignorance of “science-deniers,” there seems

to prevail a serious misunder-standing of what science actu-ally is. Science is a method, not just a body of conclusions, but you wouldn’t know it from speaking to many people who claim to “F**king Love Sci-ence.” On this popular website/Facebook page — which has become a kind of social media brand — scientific conclusions are regularly trotted out as nug-gets of truth. The attitude here is that loving science is a kind of loyalty to a particular way of viewing the world. Being “on

board” with what “Science” with a capital S has to say be-comes less a logical conclusion and more an identity-forming personal quirk.

So on the one hand, we have the problem of the “science-de-

niers’” perplexing rejection of scientific evidence. On the other hand, we have people who re-vere the truths handed down by “Science” to the point where it’s not uncommon to see an article entitled “Science Says...” as if “Science” is a persona in the habit of releasing occasional public statements.

This personification of sci-ence is evidence that we’ve po-liticized scientific results in all the wrong ways. The he said, she said of science vs. Jenny McCarthy invites us to ask

ourselves who we trust more, not what the evidence ought to force us to conclude. Seeing sci-ence as a kind of static mono-lith we either trust or distrust encourages us to act incredibly unscientifically; it asks us to

shut off our critical thinking, our analysis and our skepticism and just take a side.

And this is the heart of the issue in our public understand-ing of science. Somewhere along the line, a lot of people have come to see science as an ideology we can opt in or out of rather than a process of logi-cal inquiry. Though we’re not skeptics about physics when it comes to car repair or about biology when it comes to heart surgery, when it comes to pub-lic policy, science is just an-

other side of the debate. Either you “F**king Love Science” or you think the ice caps would be melting at this rate whether we’d started burning coal or not.

What we’re dealing with is a disconnect between the scien-tific community and the public — a failure of our educational system, our scientists and our journalists to properly commu-nicate what science actually is.

The result is a total inver-sion of what the relationship between politics and science ought to be. Scientific knowl-edge should inform our politics; our politics shouldn’t inform our view of scientific knowl-edge. The fact that our society seems to operate the other way around should be a cause for concern. In a democracy, where individual knowledge really does affect policy decisions, the results of this failure are tan-gible and significant.

And this issue will only be-come more pressing as we con-tinue to rely on technological advancements — products of science — in every area of our

lives. For the public, keeping pace with scientific advance-ment shouldn’t mean choosing science over science denial. It should mean understanding that significant scientific discover-ies are arrived at with a critical mindset, and it should be re-ceived with that same attitude, whether you “f**king love” it or not.

Time to solve the problemsGUEST COLUMN BY ALEXANDRE KLEIS AND ELISE PI

SOPHIA WUSHANLEY

Fourteen percent of undergraduates at the University of Penn-sylvania are inter-

national students. Admissions brochures point to this famil-iar statistic as proof of Penn’s “global engagement,” while the University’s website invites applicants to “meet the world.” Unfortunately, we fail to rec-ognize the following statistic: Only 73.9 percent of interna-tional students at the University of Pennsylvania graduate within four years, according to 2008 data.

Although many admitted students have the opportunity to preview their lives at Penn through programs such as Quaker Days, international stu-dents, most of whom live oceans away from Philadelphia, are of-ten unable to attend. Our first introduction to Penn is the In-ternational Student Orientation, which occurs on the first Thurs-day and Friday morning of New

Student Orientation. However, many ISO events overlap with NSO events and are not finan-cially covered by Penn.

Universities across the na-tion recognize that aiding inter-national students’ transitions is one of their many institutional responsibilities, hence ISO is a common practice. However, our peer institutions take a much different approach. Brown, Co-lumbia, Cornell, Harvard, MIT, Princeton and Stanford each of-fer four days of programming, while Dartmouth and Yale offer six days. Penn offers a day and a half.

International students are invited to arrive at Penn on Thursday, the official housing move-in day. They use this day to purchase necessities, move into their dorms, open bank ac-counts, recover from jet lag and go through mandatory immi-gration procedures. On Friday morning, students are rushed from a welcome breakfast to a

welcome session to a one-hour social event that already over-laps with the first NSO events. Then ISO is over. As incoming freshmen who face long-dis-tance traveling, culture shock and a new academic environ-ment, amongst other challenges, the current ISO severely lacks the resources and support stu-dents need.

As the Assembly of Inter-national Students, we have a simple request: a one-day exten-sion to ISO.

With an additional day, students can take more time to acclimate to Penn, and program-ming can be improved signifi-cantly. For example, small group sessions can be incorporated into the ISO schedule to address academic life at Penn and the resources that exist specifically for international students. In an environment where the Univer-sity is pledging its commitment to international student support, last year’s situation, where there

was simply not enough time to include Counseling and Psycho-logical Services and Weingarten Learning Resources Center dur-ing ISO, raises many concerns.

On Feb. 8, the Undergradu-ate Assembly passed a resolu-tion calling upon the admin-istration to take the necessary steps in extending ISO by a day and pledging financial support for this extension. This request was also supported by the entire undergraduate delegation at the University Council on Jan. 28. While students across the Uni-versity have acknowledged the lack of resources for internation-al freshmen, the administration has yet to address this reality.

Administrators quote two main concerns: staffing and funding.

First, there is no reason why staffing for college houses and programming cannot be ready for an additional day. Interna-tional Peers Helping Incoming New Students consist of up-

perclassmen who volunteer for ISO events, and they are already present on campus by Monday. Residential advisors and gradu-ate associates are also already present, and many athletic and pre-orientation programs have their students move into college housing beginning as early as Monday that week.

Second, we hope that the University will pledge funding for an additional night of hous-ing to such a large demographic of the student body. Follow-ing the UA’s financial pledge to support an ISO extension, it would be disheartening to see the University unresponsive to the needs of 14 percent of its undergraduates.

Although a one-day exten-sion for ISO is clearly not the solution to all the challenges in-ternational undergraduates face, it is a critical first step. As many of our peer institutions also of-fer community space and more financial aid resources to inter-

national students, the request for an extended ISO, a proper transition to campus, is simple to satisfy. While it may seem early to be talking about ISO, planning is already underway, and the future incoming interna-tional students deserve to know about all the resources they need to succeed.

With one additional day, Penn will be one step closer to realizing its commitment to in-ternational students.

that her father had always em-phasized the importance of a good education. In fact, Stassen graduated from high school at age fourteen and was the only one of his five siblings to gradu-ate from college.

Stassen’s tenure at Penn did see some significant changes for the University. He is credited with positioning Penn to become a member of the Ivy League when it was founded in 1954 and developing Locust Walk as the main artery of the school’s campus.

According to Berger, her father was also behind the inte-gration of both Penn’s football team and the medical school. She described a family tale in which Stassen called the head football coach to find out why the team was all white and was not pleased with the response he received.

“My father said, ‘Well, by next September, there should be at least one black player, or we’ll have another coach,’” she said.

Despite these accomplish-ments, Stassen was heavily criticized during his tenure for being an absentee leader of the University, as he had his eyes set on the 1952 presidential elec-tions. Stassen was known as a perennial candidate for various offices, including nine unsuc-cessful runs for the Republican nomination for president, earn-ing him the nickname “The Grand Old Party’s Grand Old Loser.”

“He was often on the road,” Lloyd said. “Three or four times, the Trustees had to appoint an Acting President in Stassen’s absence because they knew he was going to be gone so long that they needed somebody to make decisions.”

Stassen’s political ambitions took him on a speaking tour across the United States and even to Asia. The faculty was especially aggravated by Stas-sen’s absence and were even more frustrated with the seem-ingly authoritarian leadership of the Acting President, Wil-liam Hagan DuBarry. It was this disappointment that led Penn’s faculty to lay the groundwork for what would later become the Faculty Senate and ensure that

all future presidents be “aca-demically credentialed members of the faculty,” Lloyd said.

“My sincere regret that my decision, which appears to be right in this national matter, should interrupt my service to the University of Pennsylvania for which I have developed a deep affection,” Stassen told The Daily Pennsylvanian in January 1952 , after embarking on an-other presidential run.

Shortly after, following end-less pulling from both parties, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower — then-President of Columbia University — threw his hat in the race as a Republican. Viewing Eisenhower as an unstoppable force, Stassen dropped out of the race. Previously, President Woodrow Wilson had been the only Ivy League president to ascend to the White House after leading Princeton University from 1902 to 1910.

Upon dropping out of the race, Stassen released his delegates to Eisenhower, which contributed to his future victory. Eisen-hower later appointed Stassen to serve in his cabinet as the first and only Director of the United States Foreign Operations Ad-ministration. On Jan. 19, 1953, Stassen submitted a letter to Penn’s Board of Trustees in which he cited “the current world condition in which our country is involved, and my very high regard for President Eisen-hower” among his most pressing reasons for leaving the Univer-sity for Washington.

“Stassen didn’t get to be presi-dent, but he got what he wanted — a powerful position in Wash-ington,” Lloyd said.

said in the Capitol last Tues-day. “We’re very confident we’ll be passing a liquor bill.”

Reed estimated revenue from sell ing state-owned liquor stores would bring in over $1 billion for the state.

While the bill has a strong chance of passing through the Republican-controlled House and Senate, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, who will ultimately need to sign the bill for it to become law, has indicated his support for “modernization” of liquor stores instead of privatization.

“An alternative is modern-ization, which would mean more convenience for cus-tomers, longer hours, more f lexible pricing and better location of stores,” said Bill Patton, press secretary for House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny), who opposes the privatization pro-posal. He added that state-run liquor stores provide a steady stream of tax revenue to the state and employ over 4,000 workers.

This is not the first time House Republ icans have pushed for privatization . In March 2013, the House voted 105-90, with all Democrats

opposing, to pass a similar liquor store privatization bill. The State Senate did not to bring the bill to vote.

The idea of full privatiza-tion might be divisive in the state legislature, but Penn-sylvanians support it in a bipartisan manner. A poll con-ducted by the Commonwealth Foundation in October 2013 found that 66 percent of likely Pennsylvanian voters want to privatize the state-run liquor store system.

“If I had a guess, if they do anything, I think it would be modernization,” said Terry Madonna, director of Franklin & Marshall College’s Center

for Politics and Public Affairs. “I don’t think you could rule out that type of a compromise. That could mean you keep the liquor operation in state hands through the control board, but you privatize through leases the sale of wine, beer and spirits to lots of private sector venues.”

Patton agreed compromise is a likely outcome.

“There is a new Democratic governor,” Patton said, “and several of the new Republican leaders have said very encour-aging things about working together to address the big challenges that Pennsylvania faces.”

From renting out the Philadel-phia Museum of Art during NSO to developing new campuses in San Francisco and Beijing, Penn spends lavishly to maintain its reputation as one of this coun-try’s most coveted Ivy League universities.

This money certainly doesn’t grow on trees.

Over 500 Penn employees come to work each day in Penn’s 17 development offices in order to raise money from students, parents, alumni and major donors so that Penn’s 22,000 students can receive world-renowned educations. They are succeeding at an unprecedented rate.

Penn’s fundraising efforts are

among the best of U.S. universi-ties, according to the results of a Council for Aid to Education survey released this January . With a record $484 million raised in 2014 , Penn ranked eighth nationally in fundrais-ing, behind schools including Harvard University, University of Southern California and the University of Texas at Austin .

Annual contributions to the University have grown by 109 percent since fiscal year 2010 when the University raised $231.5 million . Penn is posi-tioned to raise even more money this coming year, Vice President of Finance and Treasurer Ste-phen Golding said.

Penn’s successes can be at-tributed in part to its traditional fundraising practices. Penn en-gages in direct mail initiatives, sends out mass emails and staffs phone banks in which volunteers cold-call parents and alumni to

raise money for the University.To court major donors, Penn’s

Development Office has employ-ees whose sole job is to serve as points of contact for wealthy alumni. These major gift offi-cers develop relationships with major donors and, almost like stockbrokers, tip them off when there is an opportunity to give back to the University that meets their individual needs and ob-jectives.

But Penn’s fundraising ef-forts reach far beyond these traditional means. The secret to Penn’s fundraising is its alumni engagement, which makes them more willing to donate to the University.

“[Our] strategy is to keep our alumni feeling connected, feel-ing like they’re a part of Penn and that Penn’s still a part of them,” Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations Hoopes Wampler said. “It helps the

institution in a lot of ways — one of which is that they’re more inclined to donate financially — but that’s not the only by-product. “

Everything from the Alumni Interview Program to class re-unions, Penn Alumni Regional Clubs and Penn’s alumni maga-zine The Pennsylvania Gazette are , in part, intended to develop a strong connection between Penn and its alumni and, in doing so, increase their willing-ness to donate. Penn even sends emails to alumni on their birth-days.

The key to Penn’s recent success is its strategy of shap-ing students into future donors before they even leave. Penn’s Office of Development and Alumni Relations now focuses on developing a strong connec-tion between students and Penn while they are still on campus.

“If you can believe it, this thinking to engage students and young alumni is a rela-tively new mode of thinking in alumni relations and develop-ment because historically young alumni and students haven’t been able to give a lot of money back,” Wampler said. “We’ve been pretty progressive in that regard.”

Penn’s success has led Cor-nell and other universities to model their alumni relations campaigns on Penn’s strategy, Wampler said.

“We are one of the best alumni relations departments in the world,” Executive Director of Alumni Relations Elise Betz said. ‘We’ve been modeled all over the world for the work that we do.”

Alumni Relations’ Penn Tra-ditions arm hosts class picnics and class pictures and con-tributes to the organization of PennFest, Skimmer Fest, Hey Day and other events that aim to cultivate a life-long connection with the University.

Through its Seniors For The Penn Fund initiative, se-niors raise money from their classmates for the University. These donations help develop

a philanthropic mindset among graduating classes and allow the Alumni Office to identify future donors and volunteers, Betz said.

In many ways, Penn’s over-all fundraising strategy can be likened to Obama’s successful fundraising efforts during his 2008 and 2012 presidential cam-paigns.

Like Obama, Penn is focused on attracting small donations from many donors so that it can keep coming back to these donors for years to come. Penn also relies on grass-roots volun-teer efforts to fundraise, much like the Obama campaigns. From class reunions to call banks, volunteers are essential in helping Penn fill its coffers.

Penn has succeeded in volunteer recruitment at an un-precedented rate. Between 2006 and 2012, the number of class reunion volunteers grew by 23.3 percent and the alumni partici-pation in Career Services and career networking programs has increased 25 percent.

Alumni engagement is on the rise as well. Between 2006 and 2012, undergraduate reunion at-tendance was up 68 percent, the number of active regional Penn Clubs grew to 103 — currently 130 — and attendance at Home-coming and Alumni Weekend diversity events grew by 94 per-cent.

Alumni and students, how-ever, aren’t the only constituent groups that give back to the University, Vice President for Development and Alumni Rela-tions John Zeller said. “You have grateful patients, individuals who want to support research, grateful owners in the vet school who want to support research and patient care for animals, you have current and past parents, you have friends, corporations, and foundations, so it comes from a variety of sources.”

It’s no surprise, then, that Penn was able to raise $4.3 billion for its Making History campaign .

“Campaigns create urgency, they create a lot of momen-tum, you focus your priorities on specific items that you can articulate, you engage a lot of volunteers and people make bigger gifts. That’s what cam-paigns are designed to do,” Zeller said.

Penn’s current challenge is continuing to attract large do-nations now that the Making History campaign is over.

“Coming out of the campaign, one of our goals was to sustain the momentum we had through-out the campaign,” Zeller said. “At the same time, we are focusing on continuing that en-gagement with our alumni and constituents throughout the world.”

he said. “Specifically where we’re neighbors and we treat them as though they’re enemies.”

Penn National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Chapter President and College senior Keishawn John-son said all police departments, including Penn Police, should adopt body cameras. “It’s some-thing police should do naturally as an effort for visibility,” he said.

“I think many black men on this campus have just accepted this as part of their daily lives,” Johnson said about racial pro-filing by Penn Police. “In some respect it’s just to be expected and to be handled.” With re-gards to the greater Philadelphia community, Johnson said, “We need to be better at recognizing that Penn lives in other people’s homes.”

Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation recruiting chair and Wharton and Engineering junior Jamal Taylor, said he too believes there is “a disparity be-tween how many times a black student will be asked ‘Are you a Penn student here?’” as com-pared to that for white students.

“Oftentimes the AlliedBarton

[guards] will ask to see your PennCard to make sure that you actually do attend the school,” Taylor said. “Especially at night, a lot of students are stopped and questioned by the police.”

Taylor recalled a time when Penn Police stopped him during New Student Orientation during his freshman year while walking down Spruce Street, sober. He said his discussions with Black Men United — a group of black men on campus that meets to dis-cuss racial issues — has led him to believe his experience is not out of the ordinary.

“Even the act of being asked for my PennCard as verification that I am not out of place in a public area is an assertion that if I wasn’t an accepted person here, it might be a greater cause for an issue,” he said regarding racial profiling of black men in the West Philadelphia community.

“As an overarching theme, Penn Police should be more transparent about who they stopped, the reasons that they stopped them,” he said. Taylor added that Penn Police should release data on the number of people of each race stopped by its officers. Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said that the Division of Public Safety requires officers to explicitly

report reasons for stopping indi-viduals.

While these black community leaders all supported body cam-eras, they said they are not the ultimate solution to ending dis-crimination by police.

“I’m not all gung-ho for body cameras, but at the same time, anything that can’t hurt,” Taylor said. “It only can help.”

Johnson believes police and others should focus on how they view the black community first. “I don’t think [body cameras are] the one-stop shop answer for the issues that we see,” he said. “At the heart of all these issues is this idea of perception. It’s about how we think about certain groups of people.” Until we solve these core issues, he said, bodies cam-eras would just be patchwork.

Former President and CEO of the NAACP Benjamin Todd Jeal-ous said after an event on Friday night that Penn Police should be proactively adopting modern po-licing instead of maintaining the status quo.

“Body cameras won’t stop ev-erything bad from happening, but they will shine sunlight on many bad things that are happen-ing,” he said. “People should be concerned when officers of the law are concerned of being held accountable themselves, because

then you are not really an officer of the law as much as you are an agent of lawlessness.”

Jealous said that he was also racially profiled by campus police at Columbia.

He recounted living in a Barnard suite with his friends one year, and being profiled

every time he went for dinner in the dining halls. “Every night they would radio in three young blacks and two young Puerto Ricans coming into the west gate,” he said. White men entered too, but they were not ra-dioed in, he said. Eventually, he confronted the officers, and they

stopped.The Philadelphia Police De-

partment is running a pilot program with body cameras. While DPS is not currently ex-perimenting with the technology itself, Rush said, “The body cameras for us are more about research at the moment.”

Several student groups on campus advocate for Penn Police to wear body cameras, arguing that video footage from the wearable devices would bring accountability and transparency to police actions.

Penn women’s tennis entered the weekend unbeaten. By the end of Sunday’s matchup against Old Dominion, that would no longer be the case.

Hoping to sustain its strong start to the season over the weekend, Penn women’s tennis played Albany at home on Friday before traveling to Vir-ginia to square off against the Lady Monarchs on Sunday.

In the program’s first-ever matchup against the Great Danes on Friday, the Quak-ers edged out hard, charging Albany, 4-3, before falling to the Old Dominion by an identical score to wrap up the weekend.

After clinching the doubles point to start off Friday’s match, Penn (3-1) turned to Sonya Laty-cheva at the No. 1 singles spot. The junior filled the place usu-ally held by senior Sol Eskenazi, who did not play on Friday.

Latycheva managed to hold her own against reigning Amer-ica East women’s player of the

week Dajana Ognjenovic, over-coming an early 3-0 deficit to win in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2.

When discussing the key to her success against the Great Danes (3-3) on Friday, Laty-cheva emphasized her ability to “fight mentally, and not just physically,” in order to maintain composure in pressure-filled situations.

“The team’s mental toughness is coming along,” coach Sanela Kunovac said. “And our success has come from a mental edge, more than anything else.”

Latycheva’s performance was accompanied by strong play from sophomore Kana Daniel and freshman Ria Vaidya, both of whom won their matches in straight sets as well.

After their success against Albany, the Red and Blue marched down to Old Do-minion, hoping to avenge last season’s loss to the Lady Mon-archs (4-3). However, while both teams played crisp, competitive tennis, the end result was the same as the last matchup, with Old Dominion eking out a 4-3 victory in Norfolk.

“[Old Dominion] had hard hitters who played fearlessly,”

Kunovac said. “And they had quite a crowd on hand … which was like an additional player from the stands.”

After falling on Friday in both doubles and singles play, senior Alexandra Ion rebounded from her three-set loss against Albany’s Mireille Hermans to win against the Lady Monarchs’ Faith Atiso, 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-4.

“The energy coming from my teammates helped push me through this really long match,” Ion said.

One key takeaway from Sun-day’s matchup is that with a victory in doubles play, Penn has now won the doubles round in every match so far this season.

“A lot of our players are very open-minded and are willing to mix things up and change [partners],” Kunovac replied when asked about the key to the team’s success in doubles thus far.

Despite the loss on Sunday, as they move towards next Sunday’s 34th Street matchup against undefeated Drexel, the Quakers hope to continue the consistent play they have exhib-ited thus far this season.

The Columbia Lions were the latest wrestling squad to feel the wrath of the Red and Blue — and with that, Penn is officially on a hot streak.

Behind dominating victories by the core trio of sophomore Caleb Richardson, senior C.J. Cobb and senior Lorenzo Thomas, the Quak-ers tallied their fourth straight victory in a 25-10 defeat of their New York rivals.

Penn (7-4, 3-1 Ivy) has continued to feed on its inferior opponents since its hard-fought loss to Cornell. A huge factor in these recent wins has been the consistent performance by the Quakers’ star grapplers.

Richardson notched the first vic-tory of the day for the Red and Blue in the 133-pound class, defeating Angelo Amenta, 6-3. From there, the Quakers never looked back, rallying to win six bouts over eight weight classes during their taming of the Lions on Saturday.

Senior Jeff Canfora added a major

decision in the 141-pound class, 9-1, before junior captain Brooks Mar-tino recorded a major decision of his own with a score of 9-0 at 157

pounds. Thomas and senior Brad Wukie added high scoring major de-cisions of their own at 184 and 174 pounds, respectively.

Thanks to yet another strong performance, the Quakers are climb-ing in the national rankings for the second straight week.

Now the 22nd ranked tournament team according to InterMat Wrestle, Penn is the third-highest ranked EIWA team behind Cornell and Lehigh, both of whom defeated Penn early in the season.

The Red and Blue have just two more regular season matches remaining, as the Quakers host Princeton and Drexel this upcoming Saturday. The odds may be in the the team’s favor — Penn is a perfect 4-0 on its home mats this season.

If the Quakers can secure wins against the Tigers and the Dragons, they may have a shot at catching Lehigh in the rankings and building momentum before the conference tournament commences on March 6.

The Columbia match was key for keeping the Quakers’ conference hopes alive as well as for Penn’s grapplers fighting for individual NCAA tournament bids.

Canfora, Martino, Wukie and senior Canaan Bethea added to their cases with convincing wins. All four wrestlers have shone in their matches during the calendar year, and their losses have been few and far be-tween. With victories next weekend, the foursome should be close to en-suring their NCAA berths.

For Thomas, Cobb and Richard-son, whose NCAA tickets have been all but punched, Sunday’s match brought more good news: All three wrestlers climbed in the NCAA Coaches Panel.

Richardson, who leads the team with 21 wins this season, moved from No. 22 to No. 18, giving Penn three top 20-ranked wrestlers.

Cobb also made a big jump, from 14th to ninth. Now, with Thomas ranked No. 5, the Red and Blue are one of just 24 programs to feature two top-10 wrestlers.

Cobb, who is riding a 10-match win streak after his win over Colum-bia’s Connor Sutton, is right in the middle of the All-American conver-sation at the 149-pound weight class.

Cobb and Richardson have been key to the Quakers’ resurgence in the second half of the season. With one final weekend of wrestling before the conference and national cham-pionships, the Red and Blue will be focused on achieving the most out of their stars.

Columbia provided a showcase for the Quakers. If they can continue this success, there’s no telling how far their group of grapplers can take them.

The defeat marks the close of Penn’s team season. The CSA Individual Champion-ships will take place Feb.

27- March 1 at Princeton.Despite the tough loss to

Trinity, the team knows a weakness does not define a true champion.

Just as Superman overcame kryptonite and the U.S. men’s

national soccer team finally beat Ghana in the group round in 2014, Penn women’s squash will learn from the their losses and be more ready than ever to take down Trinity next season.

endless. At one point, Tony Hicks collided with Greg Louis and knocked the ball out of his team-mate’s hands. He also hurled a pass over the head of Mike Auger that landed several rows up in the student section. Darien Nelson-Henry set at least one moving screen, Antonio Woods air-balled a three in the failed comeback effort and the team shot an abys-mal 33.9 percent from the field.

They were the sort of miscues

that made the game feel more like a very sad fifth grade CYO game than a Division I NCAA matchup — they were the sort of mistakes made by players who are so disil-lusioned that they have forgotten how to play the game of basket-ball.

The danger here is gradually falling out of love with the game completely and becoming indif-ferent to it. Young players like Woods, Auger and Matt Howard still play with an energy that sug-gests they remain hopeful for the future. But veterans like Hicks

and Nelson-Henry, who should be leading the fight, seem direc-tionless, as if all of the losses have taken their emotional toll.

Penn basketball — and its fan base — have had their hearts broken too many times over the last few years, and this loss on Valentine’s Day seems to simulta-neously symbolize and deepen all of that pain.

some plays. I thought Matty Pop[lawski] gave us a huge lift going into halftime. It was better than previous Saturdays.

“We just didn’t finish the proper way.”

As Penn’s offensive struggles mounted, frustration boiled over. Hicks finished 1-for-12 from the field, sitting out the final 6:22 of the contest once he was assessed with a technical foul for arguing with a referee.

Turnovers, Penn’s most con-sistently vexing issue, arose again. Among the Red and Blue’s seven giveaways in the second half were a Hicks pass that landed five rows up in the student section, a Matt Howard slip-and-fall and a collision be-tween two Penn players that sent the ball out of bounds.

Hobbie then converted when Penn couldn’t corral 50/50 balls in its own end. He hit two threes in the span of a minute that pushed Brown’s lead from 36-34 to 44-34 with 14:08 to go, a margin the Bears (11-14, 2-6) held all the way home.

“When [Hobbie’s] making shots, we’re a different team,” Brown coach Mike Martin said. “We tried to run some stuff for him. I thought Tavon [Black-mon] and Steven [Spieth] and Rafa [Maia], they all did a good job finding him and getting him shots and screening for him.”

Saturday’s embarrassment came on the heels of the Red and Blue’s second straight 27-point loss. After the Quakers were blown out by Columbia last weekend, Yale exploited Penn in virtually all facets of the game on Friday.

Junior forward Justin Sears

led the charge for Yale (17-7, 7-1) as usual, bolstering his Ivy League Player of the Year candidacy with an all-around dominant effort. The Bulldogs’ offense ran through the junior star and was complemented by 12 three-pointers, including four treys apiece by guards Jack Montague and Makai Mason.

Sears didn’t even score in the second half, but his pres-ence was felt on the defensive end throughout the contest. He added three obliterating blocks in the second half alone to finish the matchup with a seven-point, six-assist, five-block effort that stymied the Red and Blue.

With the losses, Penn has

now been swept at home by Yale and Brown for the second con-secutive year, a mark that looks especially dubious in light of the fact that the Quakers had never been swept at home by the Bull-dogs and Bears until 2014.

All the Quakers can do is try to push that ignominious fact out of their collective heads as they head on the road for two consecutive weekends.

“I think we will approach this week the same way we approach every week leading up to Ivy weekends,” Allen said.

With only seven games left in Ivy play, time is running out for the Quakers to see the payoff of that approach.

Last year, all of the stars aligned for Penn women’s basketball. Veter-ans led the way, young stars emerged and the Quakers ended up taking home the Ivy League title.

With two league losses and an undefeated Princeton squad run-ning roughshod over the Ancient Eight, it’s unlikely that the Red and Blue will have a chance to repeat last year’s magic. But the Quakers have shown all season that they still belong in the top tier of the Ivies.

Penn did so once again this week-end, defeating Yale easily on Friday, 61-42, before outscoring Brown, 83-75, on Saturday to sweep its Ivy weekend doubleheader on the road and take sole possession of second place in the Ivy standings.

The Bulldogs (11-11, 5-3 Ivy) entered Friday’s contest in sole possession of second place in the conference, only one game behind No. 16 Princeton. But the matchup was relatively routine for the Quak-ers (14-7, 5-2).

Penn took a 12-point lead with three minutes remaining in the first half thanks to a 16-2 barrage midway through the period. Although Yale closed within five at the break, from that point on, the Quakers never lost

control.The Red and Blue were even more

dominant in the second half, espe-cially on the defensive side of the ball. For a 14-minute stretch, Penn conceded only four points to Yale.

The Quakers’ defense was especially suffocating on the pe-rimeter, limiting the Bulldogs to 1-for-18 shooting from beyond the three-point line.

In her second career start, fresh-man forward Michelle Nwokedi dropped 13 points to go along with eight rebounds and three blocks, continuing her torrid pace as of late. Fellow forward Kara Bonenberger also chipped in for the Red and Blue with a double-double, while senior Katy Allen provided a spark off the bench, registering seven key points in addition to her usual defensive ex-pertise.

“I think I finally found my role [on the team],” Allen said. “You never know when you’re gonna get your shot. This week it ended up being mine.”

Saturday’s game yielded a similar result for the Quakers, although it was obtained using different means.

While Penn defeated Yale using relentless second half defense, the Bears (9-13, 3-5) utilized an equally potent offensive attack on Saturday to force the Quakers out of their low-scoring comfort zone.

But Penn’s scorers were up to the challenge. The Quakers were able to edge Brown out in its own fast-paced

game, taking a comfortable first half lead and countering several aggres-sive Brown runs to clinch the sweep in impressive fashion.

“[Friday] was more typical of the way we’ve played,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “To be able to win two different types of game — it’s a great credit to our girls.”

The game marked only the second

time this season that the Quakers have been able to break 80 points.

Once again, the same three for-wards as on Friday — Nwokedi, Bonenberger and Allen — led the way for the Red and Blue.

“I think we really just found the open player and found who had the mismatch,” Allen said. “Sometimes with the three of us on the court, a

guard might be matched up on one of our posts.”

It marked the second double-double in as many contests for Bonenberger, who looks to be hitting her stride and taking pressure off of sophomore star Sydney Stipanovich .

“Kara is playing as well as she’s ever played,” McLaughlin said of the senior captain.

The Quakers were equally ef-fective scoring outside of the paint though , knocking down seven of their 12 three-point attempts against the Bears.

After braving the elements in their trip back to Philadelphia, the Red and Blue will prepare for next week-end’s home doubleheader against Harvard and Dartmouth.

“I play with two seniors with a lot of experience,” McGeary said. “It makes me feel more comfort-able out there.”

Soon after the Retrievers’ score cut Penn’s margin to two, Doktor found an opening past UMBC keeper Connor Gordon to give the Quakers more breathing room at 8-5. The junior attack recorded his second goal of the match a quarter later off an assist from sophomore Kevin Brown to push Penn’s lead to four.

The Retrievers, however, did not let the deficit get to their heads, as Lewnes picked up another goal with just over seven minutes left. Seconds later, Red and Blue senior Joe McCallion responded for the Quakers’ final goal of the match.

Trailing by four, the Retrievers managed to edge their way back into the game. Just before the five-minute mark, Lewnes scored his fourth goal of the game, followed by a goal from Drew Borsody with less than three minutes left to cut the deficit to two.

“The shots [UMBC] hit were really good,” Murphy admitted.

“We were worried.”In the end, however, the Quak-

ers’ defense managed to hold off a comeback, yielding a final score-line of 10-8.

A key factor in the win was junior Rob Savage’s proclivity for face-offs. The Garden City, N.Y., native came out on top in 18 out of 22 attempts.

Murphy, while satisfied with a win, was less content with some of the inconsistencies he noted in both the offensive and defensive units on Saturday. However, he remains hopeful that things will sort them-selves out as the season progresses.

“I would like to think that our improvement curve is still pretty steep,” Murphy said.

Another major challenge for the Quakers consists of filling the shoes of some of the key play-ers who graduated last year. Still, Murphy recognizes the importance of early nonconference matchups to prepare those filling the void for the remainder of the season.

“Hopefully we can clean some things up and play better against St. Joe’s,” he said.

Penn will next take the field on Tuesday when it travels to Saint Jo-seph’s to take on the Hawks.

Penn basketball — like most of Brown’s opponents — thought it could beat the Bears by limiting their powerful forwards, Rafael Maia and

Cedric Kuakumensah.JR Hobbie begged to differ.The Brown guard scored 13 of his

21 points in the second half, hitting three treys while the Quakers’ ineffi-cient offense did the rest of the work in a 71-55 Bears victory.

Penn (7-14, 2-5 Ivy) entered Sat-urday’s contest with a reputation for coming out flat in the back end of Ivy weekends and did little to shed

that reputation early on. The Quakers shot just 33 percent from the field in the first half, with guards Tony Hicks and Antonio Woods missing all 10 of their combined shots before the break.

Frustrated, Penn coach Jerome Allen shuffled the lineup numerous times, giving sophomore guard Matt Poplawski extended minutes.

At first, the move seemed to pay

off. Poplawski energized the Red and Blue on defense and drove hard to the basket for an and-one with 5.1 sec-onds remaining in the first half that sent the Quakers into the halftime break up one, 30-29.

“I didn’t think our level of excite-ment was great in the first half,” Allen said. “I thought we made

Even the greatest heroes have Achilles heels. For Superman, it was kryptonite . For the United States in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, it was Ghana. For Penn women’s squash this season, it was Trinity.

Going into Sunday, the Red and Blue’s only two losses of the 2014-2015 season came at the hands of the Bantams.

In January, the No. 2 Quakers narrowly lost to then-No. 1 Trinity, with the fate of the match coming down to the final set of the final individual matchup .

However, after finishing Ivy League competition 7-0 and claim-ing the title for only the third time in school history, the team had high hopes for the College Squash Association National Team Cham-pionships in Boston this weekend.

While facing Trinity again in the Howe Cup semifinal on Saturday,

the Red and Blue were unable to reverse their fortunes, falling 5-4 in heartbreaking fashion that was strangely reminiscent of their pre-vious loss to the Bantams.

Sophomore Anaka Alankamony, freshman Marie Stephan and freshman Melissa Alves notched wins for Penn in the two, three and four positions on the ladder while junior Haidi Lala picked up a vic-tory in the sixth spot.

With the overall match score tied at 4-4, the fate of the Quak-ers — and a place in the national championship final in the balance — came down to junior Camille Lanier in the fifth rung on the ladder, who fell 11-6.

The tough loss sent the Quakers to the third-place game in which they faced No. 4 Princeton, a tal-ented team that had pushed No. 1 Harvard to the brink of defeat in the previous round.

After beating Princeton 6-3 ear-lier in the season, the Red and Blue were unable to match their previ-ous performance and fell to the Tigers 5-4 in the third place match.

The first one is always the hardest.

Despite snow, cold and some patchy play, Penn men’s la-crosse raced out to an early lead and overcame UMBC, 10-8, in its first game of the season on Saturday.

The Retrievers (0-2) , who opened their season with a loss against No. 6 Johns Hopkins last weekend, managed to pose a threat to No. 13 Penn (1-0) on a snowy day at Franklin Field.

“We found a way to get a win when we weren’t playing well,” Penn coach Mike Murphy said.

Early in the first quarter, an initial goal by UMBC was fol-lowed by three goals in quick succession from Penn fresh-man Kevin McGeary and sophomores Chris Hilburn and Austin Kreinz. A second goal from Kreinz combined

with two from UMBC’s Nate Lewnes sustained the first quarter action as the Red and Blue led at the end of the period, 4-3.

In a relatively dormant second quarter, Penn freshman Reilly Hupfeldt — brother of Quakers’ senior attack Chris Hupfeldt — notched his first career goal off an assist by junior Nick Doktor. The Re-trievers responded with a goal of their own to cut Penn’s lead in half heading into halftime.

After the break, Murphy swapped goalkeepers, insert-ing senior John Lopes for junior Jimmy Sestilio.

“Both have been compet-ing for the goalkeeping job,” Murphy explained. “We fig-ured we should give both a shot.”

In the third quarter, Mc-Geary scored the second and third goals of his Penn debut to give the Red and Blue a 7-4 lead before UMBC responded with one of its own.

Penn basketball’s

bad romance

KENNY KASPER

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel once said that the opposite of love was not hate, but indifference.

And this Valentine’s Day, Penn basketball — from its fans to its players — seemed basically indifferent to the outcome of its game against last-place Brown, which resulted in a cringe-inducing 71-55 loss.

To be fair, it’s difficult to get emotionally in-vested in that which is essentially irrelevant. It was a game between two bottom feeders of a bottom feeder conference that wasn’t interesting enough to keep a posse of Penn football recruits around for the second half.

The highlights of the game included a stu-dent winning $5,000 by banking in a half-court shot during a timeout and a Penn soccer player — Matt Poplawski — running the point for much of the second half, which is a bit like a restaurant’s lighting being the highlight of a four-course meal.

This Penn team — and its sparsely populated student section — has all but forgotten what it is like to be relevant in the Ancient Eight title race, and it shows. Before tip-off, Brown looked excited — the Bears smelled an opportunity to show they are better than their conference record suggests.

Penn looked uninterested.In a sense, this game should have been hyper-

relevant for coach Jerome Allen , who has been on the hot seat for just short of an eternity.

Penn had only lost to Yale and Brown at home in the same season in one other year — well, last year — and the Quakers’ worst loss to the Bears at home was by nine points until Saturday’s defeat, a loss that marked only the eighth Brown win at the Palestra since 1954. And this Brown team entered the game tied for dead last in the Ancient Eight with its best player, Leland King, having recently called it quits mid-season .

This is all to say that playing Brown at home is the closest thing to a gimme the Quakers will see in league play this season — a Valentine’s Day gift, if you will. But Penn looked like a young bachelor on an awkward first date.

After suffering a few too many ugly break-ups, Penn basketball has lost its confidence and with it the ability to perform even the most basic maneuvers. Saturday’s contest was the equivalent of trying to pull a date’s chair out for her and instead tripping and knocking her into the waiter, who is carrying a tray of full wine glasses.

Yes, it was red wine. Yes, her dress was ruined.
