The new director of the Office of Student Conduct, Julie Lyzinski Nettleton, wants to become the face of discipline at Penn.

Nettleton, who officially took over the role of OSC director this week af-ter serving as interim director, left her previous role as director of the Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Program Initiatives.

“One thing I think I did very well [at AOD] — for better or for worse — I was the face of alcohol,” Nettleton said in an interview last week. “I don’t think anyone ever questioned who to go to, who to talk to, who made decisions about it. It was my face. I’m excited to do that same thing here.”

Nettleton hopes that putting a friendly face on the office might help it become more relevant to the lives of students and faculty. One of her top priorities is building relation-ships with faculty in the same way

There’s one student dressed in an orange jumpsuit. Another with a noose around his neck and a third student wearing a chain.

The three students, College junior Gina Dukes, College senior Breanna Moore and Wharton and Engineering ju-nior Jamal Taylor, were each meant to represent a different era in United States history

where black people have been oppressed. They carried signs that read 1814, 1914, 2014.

They stood on the Button, the statue in front of Van Pelt-Dietrich Library, for hours on that October afternoon. A pho-to of that “Ferguson Friday” — as the members of Students Organizing for Unity and Lib-eration called it — has gotten over 13,000 notes on Tumblr and has been retweeted and shared on Twitter and Face-book many times.

“We wanted to make a big-ger statement” than the dis-cussions about race hosted by campus groups, Dukes said. “It arose out of the Mike Brown situation [in Ferguson] and us feeling fed up with the justice system. We felt like Penn was kind of silent on the issue. We wanted people to talk about it. We wanted people not to for-get about it, like with Trayvon Martin.”

Every Friday since Oct. 3, members of SOUL and their

supporters have protested on College Green. In their first “performance protest,” the stu-dents covered the LOVE statue with the names of people of color who have been killed by the police. Attached was a sign: “No More Martyrs.”

At another Ferguson Friday, four students laid down for four hours in front of the Benjamin Franklin statue by College Hall on top of a red cloth symboliz-ing blood — a nod to how long Michael Brown’s body was

outside. At the most recent one on Nov. 14, they posted paper graves across College Green which represented people of color who were killed by police brutality.

Meanwhile, cities across the country, including Philadel-phia, are gearing up to respond to potential protests in antici-pation of the verdict in the case of the police officer Darren Wilson, who shot 18-year-old

Pope Francis’ planned Phila. visit excites officials

The leader of the Catholic Church will be coming to Phil-adelphia next year. And nearly everyone is excited.

Pope Francis confirmed on Monday that he will be at-tending the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia in September 2015. His visit will include a public Sunday mass on the Benjamin Frank-lin Parkway on Sept. 27, 2015. NBC Philadelphia reported that officials estimate that up to two million people might come to see the pope.

It will be the pontiff’s first visit to the United States since he was elected to lead the church in 2013. To date, he has traveled to the Middle East, Al-bania, South Korea and Brazil.

Mayor Michael Nutter called the news “the largest event in the city’s modern history” in a statement made at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Senator Bob Casey called Pope Francis’ planned visit a “great

honor for the city.”Archbishop Charles J. Cha-

put of Philadelphia also com-mented in a New York Times interview that he is “overjoyed by Pope Francis’ announce-ment that he will join with us for the World Meeting of Fami-lies in Philadelphia next year.”

“A hallmark of his papacy has been a keen focus on the many challenges that fami-lies face today globally. His charisma, presence and voice will electrify the gathering,” Chaput said.

Penn’s Catholic community anticipates his visit will have a tremendous impact on Catho-lics and non-Catholics alike. “We’re all very excited about his upcoming visit, and are working to see how best PCSA can collaborate with the arch-diocese and other Catholic in-stitutions in Philadelphia,” said President of the Penn Catholic Student Association and Whar-ton junior Ana Bautista.

The Penn Newman Center could not be reached for com-ment Monday.

An online petition propos-ing a resource center for Penn students who are veterans is gaining significant support, amassing over 375 signatures as of Monday night.

The petition, circulated by the University of Pennsylvania

Student Veteran Association last Tuesday, states that veter-ans are the only federally pro-tected class that does not have a dedicated center on campus.

In addition to establishing a center, the petition proposes creating a full-time staff posi-tion and a website dedicated to serve the military community on campus.

The proposed center would serve not only United States military veterans, but also stu-dents in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and foreign

military veterans, such as stu-dents from South Korea, Israel and Singapore. The resource center would also connect students who are interested in joining the military with veterans.

The 13-page proposal at-tached to the petition includes a detailed operating bud-get, which would amount to $89,500 in the first year for costs including the salary of one full-time staff member, office equipment and activity funds.

The University declined to comment on the proposal for this article. Sam Starks, the ex-ecutive director of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Programs, deferred comment to University Communications, which in turn directed ques-tions to the Provost’s Office. The Provost’s Office referred The Daily Pennsylvanian back to Starks.

Wharton senior Timothy Kolb was stationed outside of Baghdad in the U.S. Army be-fore coming to Penn. He is now

the president of the Student Veteran Association at Penn, which counts about 30 under-graduates as members. Based on Kolb’s rough estimation, there are about 120 veteran students across the University, excluding the Perelman School of Medicine — but he noted that the exact number is hard to pin down because being a veteran is a self-identified sta-tus and some may choose not to report.

The Association of American Universities, of which Presi-dent Amy Gutmann is chair, an-nounced on Friday that it will conduct a sexual assault climate survey of its members in April 2015.

The association has contracted with Westat, a national research fi rm, to design and adminis-ter the survey to as many of its member universities that choose to participate.

It is not yet known whether Penn will take part. In the past, top administrators have ex-pressed skepticism at the calls for more comprehensive surveys on sexual assault on campuses.

The AAU is a nonprofi t orga-nization consisting of 60 leading United States and Canadian re-search universities. All eight Ivy League universities are mem-bers.

The survey — which will be administered to undergradu-

ate, graduate and professional students but not to faculty or administrators — will measure the frequency and characteristics of campus sexual assault and sexual harassment across institu-

tions. The campus surveys will feature a uniform series of ques-tions, except for fi ve that will specifi cally reference campus programs to measure familiarity with campus resources and sup-

port services.“We hope that this survey will

provide solid information on the incidence of sexual assault and sexual harassment on their cam-puses and on attitudes on the is-

sue among their students,” AAU President Hunter Rawlings said in a statement.

While the AAU will publicly report the holistic results from its participating institutions,

Westat will provide each campus with its respective data, and in-dividual universities will decide whether to release the results.

According to an AAU press release, the organization is “deeply concerned” about the possibility of a federal mandate for campuses to conduct a gov-ernment-developed survey about sexual assault climate.

In September, the White House called on colleges to conduct sexual assault climate surveys. Legislation introduced earlier this year sought to require schools to administer such a sur-vey created by the U.S. Educa-tion Department, although the Senate has yet to vote on it.

“Such an initiative would like-ly be a one-size-fi ts-all survey that would provide potentially misleading data,” Rawlings said.

Gutmann has posited a strong stance against violent assault at Penn.

“One sexual assault is one too many on any campus,” Gutmann said in a meeting with The Daily Pennsylvanian at the beginning of the semester. “There has to be a fair and eff ective way of deal-ing with accusations of sexual assault.”

At the Nov. 16 meeting, the Undergraduate Assembly dis-cussed free printing and reducing the requirements for uncoordinat-ed dual degree programs.

Free printingThe UA discussed free printing

for College and Nursing students,

an ongoing deliberation triggered by inequality in access to printing across schools. Engineering and Wharton students have a certain amount of subsidized printing each semester.

Wharton freshman and UA representative Jack Cahn , who is a contributing writer for The Dai-ly Pennsylvanian, has been work-ing on research related to free printing for the past few months.

Cahn said that in the past the UA has tried to procure free printing for everyone, but there have been some logistical issues. Because Wharton and Engineer-ing are housed in Huntsman Hall and the Engineering Quad respectively, it is easier to deter-mine what buildings should pro-vide free printing.

Diff erent schools function in-dependently, and a printing bud-

get is not factored into the bud-gets of the College or the Nursing school. The two schools would likely have to take money from other parts of their budgets in or-der to subsidize printing.

Uncoordinated dual degreesThe UA is working with

Wharton to reduce requirements for uncoordinated dual degrees between Wharton and another

school.College sophomore and UA

representative Tunmise Fawole met with Director of Academic Aff airs and Advising of Wharton Scott Romeika . Romeika urged the UA to get more quantitative data about the uncoordinated dual degree students forgoing other opportunities.

College sophomore and UA representative Marc Petrine sug-

gested doing a comparison be-tween the requirements of double majors in the same school and the uncoordinated dual degrees. Additionally, College freshman and UA representative Rahima Jamal suggested seeing if it was possible to graduate on time with an uncoordinated dual degree for students who decide to pursue the program after their freshman year.

130th Yearof Publication

As I’ve scrolled through my Face-book news feed recently, I’ve

stumbled every so often on emphatic promotional blurbs urging me to “beat Harvard.” With a “like” to The Daily Pennsylvanian’s Facebook page, apparently, I can stick it to those sneering Cambridge-ites and help overtake the popularity of their altogether-too-revered Crimson. The DP page’s count stands currently at a rather anemic 5,437, despite enticements of hot chocolate, with The Crimson sitting ever-pretty at 30,084. It did not take long for Harvard to respond, dryly and without fanfare, to this rather clunkily calculated campaign, scrap-ing it off like a fly off a boot. The lack of drama with which this was accomplished demon-strated how tiny and desperate these attempts seem to the re-mainder of the world, and how they characterize a broader, significantly entrenched cul-

tural problem at Penn that bears revisiting.

I am more than pleased having wound up at Penn, and in my first year, circulat-ing as a freshman and taking stock of other new arrivals, I noticed a puzzling and trou-bling attitude. There was a serious resentment at Penn’s comparative lack of recogni-tion present among some I encountered. True, the pain-fully generic “University of Pennsylvania” invites regu-lar confusion with a far less glamorous state school. The name is cumbersome to wrap around a mug and is crunched to an unsightly, dense bar of text on sweatshirts — it lacks the elegant name-brand con-cision of a Stanford, a Yale, a Dartmouth. On the United States college rankings lists composed by various sites, we tend to hover in the top 10 somewhere south of five and have roughly one-tenth the likes on Facebook of Harvard.

However, these metrics of

cachet should be considered exactly that — measures of the superficial glamour and mar-ketability of a school, its like-lihood of impressing everyone down to your building’s super who probably heard it name-dropped on TV. These should not matter in an actual evalua-tion of Penn’s merits.

But matter they did, and do. Big Three envy regularly manifests itself here, most re-cently in the form of this im-potent Harvard tail-chasing. One promo, in which students were photographed holding signs declaring ways in which Penn is better than Harvard, included declarations rang-ing from the obviously de-fensive and insecure (“[We] are less pretentious” — one could argue otherwise) to the completely insubstantial (“I go here” and “Philly is awe-some” among them).

Of the “pretentious” schools, Princeton, which sits conspicuously at the summit of the U.S. News and World

Report rankings, seems to hold a special place in Penn’s complex. I suspect that the oddly rabid sports rivalry Penn stokes with that school — one which hardly seems re-ciprocated to an equal extent on the Princeton side — is a manifestation of a strange determination to take down Princeton in a forum where

our schools are recognized as competitive. Penn isn’t spon-taneously usurping the first slot on U.S. News any time soon, but goodness knows we can at least wallop their striped asses on the court Sat-urday.

Yet I don’t think Princeton spends much time licking its boo-boos after these match-ups any more than Harvard spends up at night worrying about the DP’s advances over the social media field. Penn’s inferiority complex is unap-pealing, petulant and makes us seem delusional and dis-missible.

I am not by any means saying that every student at Penn consequently walks around with a chip on their shoulder. I meet many ex-traordinarily talented people each day who are more than satisfied to make their home

at Penn and don’t harbor illu-sions that they are anywhere else. One comment in the photo campaign stood out to me for its genuine validity — a girl wrote that Penn has a top-tier nursing program, while Harvard lacks one en-tirely. Something to be proud of indeed, I’d say.

This is precisely why I think this diseased mental-ity of insufficiency I’ve de-scribed should be addressed. The people of Penn are sound testaments to its quality, and it would reflect well upon us as an institution to show that we can respond with grace to frequently prestige-pedding metrics that do not favor Penn. It is inelegant and petty to grasp at such prestige while disregarding the excellence we possess ourselves.

Some time around the last Olympics, I sat around, pretended to be knowledge-

able about sports and saw a mini-documentary on Maria Sharapova. There was a reel of tape I couldn’t get out of my head of Maria winning the Wimbledon: Her racket arched upward, the ball sailing in a perfect palabora, Maria punch-ing the air. The announcer boomed over the scene, “How does it feel to have accom-plished your life’s dream when you’re 17?”

Cliche as it sounds, that’s how I felt when I got into Penn. It was a goal I’d had for a while — I devoted a large part of my high school expe-rience to working to get into college. I could work through a massive checklist of applica-tions and SAT prep to get each step closer to Locust Walk. More than that, though, was the ability to stand out in my

small suburban town.In high school, many of

us defined ourselves by being big fish in our relatively small ponds. My Connecticut high school — “copy-and-pasted from Lizzie McGuire,” I’d tell people during NSO — had 1,800 kids; standing out was easy, or at least, possible. Now

that we’re at Penn, we still want to be significant, to do something important. But in a crowd of 10,000 overachiev-ers, that’s easier said than done.

We’re all sick of hearing about Penn’s high-pressure en-

vironment, but the fact is that it’s pervasive. That didn’t hit me until a friend, in the midst of failing a few midterms and struggling in classes, told me that he didn’t feel special any-more. He said he’d felt impor-tant before he came to Penn. Here though, he said, “every-one’s extraordinary.”

I understand where my friend is coming from. Part of my selfish, pre-frosh fantasies about Penn was making some-thing more of myself, of stand-ing out somehow in the mas-sive crowd. I didn’t know how that would manifest or what I

would do to achieve that, but I wanted to be different. I think we all did.

A few weeks ago when I was Skyping a friend from home, she commented on how well-settled I seemed. She asked about my friends, and I flipped through the taglines on their LinkedIn profiles. A state tennis champion. A former NASA employee. An award-winning poet. A volunteer for AmeriCorps.

We’re here because some admissions official thought we were different. Sitting around a table in Commons, though, it’s hard not to feel dwarfed by the friends we love and hang out with. And when the inevitable question of, “Have you looked at internships yet?” comes up, it’s difficult to think our re-sumes would stand out in any way.

I was tossing this around in my head when I stumbled upon a New York Times pro-

file of “Alex from Target,” a 16-year-old from Texas who became Internet famous when various people started posting a photo of him on Twitter. As a friend told me, “People only know him because some girls think he’s cute. That’s it. And now the world knows him.” It’s strange how people rise differently into the conscious-ness of the world, or at least the Internet, whether it’s a teen boy just doing his job or Kim Kardashian showing skin.

The truth is, we can’t pre-dict what will make us stand out. A lot of that is out of our control. What we can do is take a breath, stand back and be happy where we are. That’s the comforting thing about a venture like Humans of UPenn — it’s a nice reminder on our news feeds that every-one here has their own story. Penn makes us feel small, but we don’t have to make that a bad thing. We don’t need to

constantly prove we deserve to be here.

Last Wednesday, I felt like I needed to get out of Penn. I grabbed a book, pointed my-self towards the Schuylkill and just walked, one foot in front of the other. I went by the river and read while the sun was set-ting. I felt small. And that was okay.

she worked with other areas of the University during her role at AOD.

In doing so, Nettleton aims to make OSC a more proactive office. While she acknowledges that the reactionary element will always exist since the office must respond to complaints, she believes there is room to expand the educational outreach side of OSC.

Nettleton’s background is in counseling, rather than law or dis-cipline — she holds a master’s degree in human services and counseling, is licensed in profes-sional counseling in the state of New Jersey and has worked in an adolescent psycho-social rehabili-tation agency. But she says that her experiences will translate well to her new job.

“At my role in Alcohol and Oth-er Drugs, I didn’t always play good cop,” said Nettleton, who is also a doctoral student at the Graduate School of Education. “A large part of my job was to engage students to make them understand not just how their actions mattered, but how they could be held responsible for those actions.”

Nettleton was chosen from a pool of national candidates, some of whom direct disciplinary offices at other college campuses, and was ultimately chosen over an unaffili-ated finalist because of her “strong experience as a campus leader around important issues related to conduct and community,” said Rob Nelson , executive director for education and academic planning in the Provost’s Office.

“What I think she brings to the position is that ability and skill set to lead campus discussions,” Nelson said.

Nettleton said she is committed

to the notion of accountability, but recognized that “holding a student accountable does not take place in a vacuum.” She said her experience in the mental health field would help her monitor students’ stress when they come into the office to make or respond to a complaint.

“There’s going to be stress in-volved,” Nettleton said. “Being in-vestigated isn’t always a fun place to be, being found responsible can be really difficult, but navigating the process in a way where we’re also supporting students and mak-ing sure students are being cared for, I think is extremely impor-tant.”

College senior Michele Fletcher — the co-chair of the University Honor Council — said Nettleton’s dedication to accountability and caring for students was obvious when she met with the Honor Council several weeks ago. The Honor Council is the undergradu-ate group that educates students about University codes of conduct and academic integrity and sends representatives to sit on student conduct hearing panels.

“She’s so easy to talk to and very accessible,” Fletcher said. “That’s exactly what this office needs.”

During her tenure at AOD, Nettleton made connections with other offices and staff, includ-ing Counseling and Psychologi-cal Services, Student Intervention Services, Student Health Service and the college houses.

“She really has a very thorough understanding of how this cam-pus works,” Associate Director of AOD Noelle Melartin said of Nettleton.

Still, Nettleton will encounter new challenges during her time as OSC director. On Jan. 1, Penn will officially open a new office

to deal exclusively with sexual violence cases. Nettleton said that while she will be open to playing a consulting role in the office’s launch, the opening should free up much-needed time for OSC to focus on its outreach and internal initiatives.

One of her first tasks will be to issue reports for the past four academic years detailing the cases that have been brought to OSC and the sanctions the office has administered. The Daily Pennsyl-vanian reported last month that the office has failed to produce annual reports for the last four years.

OSC will issue those reports no later than Jan. 9, according to a letter to the editor printed in the DP from Vice Provost for Educa-tion Andrew Binns . The reports for the 2014-15 academic year will be available by July 31.

Nettleton does not anticipate reporting in the future to be prob-

lematic, since the office is now fully acquainted with the database that was installed four years ago. While Penn is less transparent than peer schools in reporting disciplin-ary outcomes, Nettleton said the new reports will not include much more detailed information than in past years due to privacy concerns. However, she said she would keep tabs on trends.

“I think data is very helpful, and I definitely plan on using key data sets, whether they’re part of the annual report or completely different,” Nettleton said.

Now that Nettleton is officially out of her role as director of AOD, the search for her replacement can commence, Associate Vice Provost for Student Affairs Hikaru Kozuma said in an email. The administration aims to have a new director in place next semester. In the meantime, the role will be left open.

Like many Penn students, founder and former CEO and Chairman of Essence Magazine Edward Lewis took the Wall Street route to his true passion.

“If there’s one thing to remem-ber from my talk today it’s that cash is king, queen, jack, spade and everything else,” Lewis said.

Lewis spoke about his journey from the South Bronx to invest-ment banking to magazine racks and how he became a symbol for the empowerment of black women.

“My mom was a factory worker.

My dad was a janitor at City Col-lege,” Lewis said. “Every summer my mom sent me to work on my grandma’s farm.” There, he and the children of his mother’s 13 other siblings worked and bonded. “The work ethic was part of my upbringing.”

After graduating high school, Lewis attended the University of New Mexico on a football schol-arship, where he studied political science and international rela-tions. “I was accepted to George-town Law School but f lunked out,” Lewis said. “If that had not happened, I might never have started Essence.”

After returning to New York, Lewis worked at Citi Bank. “There was a lot of desire to get the blacks into the capitalist busi-ness world,” Lewis said.

His chosen path was not on Wall Street, but to launch a maga-zine targeting black women. In 1968, he met his three future busi-ness partners and Essence was born.

“Blacks were underserved. We thought we could make a dif-ference,” Lewis said. With only $130,000 out of the $1.5 million they needed, he and his partners built a magazine that now serves 12 million monthly.

“Our philosophy is that all black women are beautiful,” Lewis said.

Lewis’s talk was the culmi-nation of the United Minorities Council’s annual Unity Week. Earlier in the week, the UMC showed a documentary about hu-man trafficking and hosted a dis-cussion about cultural climate, an Open Mic and a community service event.

“There are few events to dis-cuss issues that unite minorities,” UMC Vice Chair and Wharton junior Tanya Jain said. “The pur-pose was to bring different people together.”

On a campus famous for its stu-dent entrepreneurs, the Penn Center for Innovation wants to shift the spotlight to faculty ideas.

On Monday night, President Amy Gutmann and Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter headlined a marquee launch event for the PCI. The event featured a performance by the a cappella group, Off the Beat, and took place in the Harold Prince Theater of the Annenberg Center.

The PCI unites various innova-tion programs at Penn under one umbrella.

One such element of the innova-tion center, the PCI Ventures pro-gram, promotes “entrepreneurial activities and new company around Penn’s leading research and inno-

vations,” according to its website. A highlight of the PCI Ventures program is UPstart, which serves as a virtual incubator for faculty and staff and helps startups grow.

Since its inception in 2010, UP-start has helped over 100 faculty and staff members translate their ideas into startup companies.

Penn-sponsored companies run the gamut from information tech-nology to healthcare management. The common link is a Penn affiliate transforming his idea into entrepre-neurial success.

Contrasting with the significant undergraduate entrepreneurial pres-ence in such groups as The Dining Philosophers through the School of Engineering and Applied Sci-ences and The Penn Social Entre-preneurship Movement through the Wharton School, the PCI Ventures program is unique in its focus on

faculty-led projects.Penn faculty members have long

sponsored the flourishing culture of student startups.

“The startup culture at Penn is driven by students but facilitated by faculty, creating an ecosystem where students can collaborate with one another but receive mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs,” Wharton sophomore David Green-stein said.

Earlier this month, Greenstein founded LaunchQuad.com, a web-site that facilitates connections be-tween student entrepreneurs at Penn and other universities and offers information about Penn startups.

Greenstein noted the mutual ben-efit of student-faculty interactions, saying, “This creates an ideal com-bination of meshing past experience with present grit of current Penn startups.”

Brown. The governor of Missouri declared a state of emergency in the state on Monday in anticipa-tion of hearing a verdict soon.

While there were many pro-tests in August, September and even in October in the city, much of the public action related to Ferguson in Philadelphia has died down.

“We wanted to keep on insert-

ing it in the consciousness of the student body to basically make a statement that it hasn’t stopped,” Dukes said.

But the question is, have they impacted people?

Moore, who is one of the core members in the demonstra-tions, said the response has been “mixed.”

“We definitely have supporters and people who stop by to thank us for what we’re doing, [but] I feel like a lot of the response has

been apathetic,” she said. Some of the positive responses include students from Temple University who have expressed interest in helping with the demonstrations, as well as recognition from other activists and bloggers.

As for the Penn reaction, many people took photos of the group’s display on Friday, but would quickly move on.

A graduate student in the design school, Zhang Ge, who stopped to read the signs at the demonstration, said the demon-stration was “crucial.” One stu-dent walking by said “What is this?” to a friend and the friend responded “Ferguson Fridays!” without hesitation.

The responses are not always that good. Dukes recalled that at the protest where they lay on the ground for four hours, many passersby did not even stop. “It was funny because they were just sitting on their laptops and unfazed by what we were doing,” she said referring to people who were sitting on the benches on College Green.

Regardless of the response, the group plans to continue their demonstrations.

“It won’t stop until we do some-thing about it — the injustice lives on beyond Penn’s campus, and it’s something that we should care about,” Dukes said.

PCI shifts focus to faculty innovation

Kolb believes that a resource center for veteran students will help them to navigate through common problems.

“There is a general sense of loneliness among veterans,” especially among undergradu-ates, Kolb said. “They were in the military in this incredibly structured, team-focused en-vironment. No action is done independently and everything is based on the team. Then you come to a broad university, then suddenly you are kind of on your own.”

Another common problem that U.S. veteran students have is applying for educational and financial benefits.

“Between the bureaucracy of the [Department of Veter-ans Affairs] and coming to Penn trying to figure out who processes anything, it is defi-nitely a hurdle,” Kolb said. The proposed employee would be informed about the resourc-es available for veterans and would help connect students

with scholarships.“Penn stacks up fairly poorly

against the other Ivy Leagues for the most part,” Kolb said. “There’s a certain number of services that Penn does not of-fer yet, but the other schools do.”

Columbia and Brown univer-sities have resource centers for veteran students. At Brown, a former military officer serves as a full-time point of contact for students interested in mili-tary service and veterans com-ing to Brown from the military, said Michael Webert, a 2014 Graduate School of Education alumnus and one of the authors of the proposal.

At Penn, there is a Veterans Upward Bound program that aims to prepare veterans for college and falls under the Vice Provost for University Life. The selective program serves about 160 students annually, but they come from places throughout the Philadelphia area. The Wharton Veterans Club also has about 60 members, Kolb said.

Kolb said the College of Lib-eral and Professional Studies is

preparing to launch a veterans’ resource page on its website, since most veterans are in an LPS program.

However, there is no central-ized support center that pro-vides all the information, and many resource centers do not offer specific help for veterans. For example, Career Services website has specific assistance for LGBT students, students of color, students with disabili-ties and international students, among other populations, but it has no specialized services for veterans.

Webert mentioned the dif-ficulty of translating military experience to the professional world.

“How do you describe what happened in a bootcamp — for 100 or 80 hours a week, where you are not allowed to sit down or lay down for 18 hours a day?” Webert said.

“Broadly at Penn, when you have a need affiliated to mili-tary, it’s not clear where you go, who you talk to, and that’s really what we want to accom-plish,” he said.

Look smart.

in the final game of his career.However, the Quakers had

faced adversity all year. Over the course of the season, the Red and Blue never won by more than nine points, and a mid-season loss to Yale did not bode well for their title hopes.

They were able to fight through each time, and they en-tered the game against Cornell with the same attitude, full of confidence.

“I’ve been so blessed to be a part of this class and have the opportunity to win three cham-pionships,” Holland said. “It’s a special group.”

The Quakers came out slow, falling behind 13-7 early in the game, but it didn’t take long for them to gain control.

Led by the efficient play of Holland — who completed 18 of his 22 attempts for 255 yards on the game — and an explosive 55-yard third quarter touchdown run by then-senior running back Lyle March, Penn scored 21 un-answered points.

The Quakers took the 15-point lead into the fourth quarter, but they would not be able to coast to victory.

“It wouldn’t be us if we didn’t make it interesting,” senior defensive lineman Brandon Copeland said.

Cornell brought it within eight, and after converting 4th-and-10 and a Penn pick-six negated by a penalty, the

Big Red were able to tie it up with 2:57 to go on a score and two-point conversion.

“They scared the living hell out of you,” Bagnoli said.

However, after getting good field position from a short Cor-nell squib kick, the Quakers

were able to keep their cool.“We were actually pretty calm

in the huddle,” Holland said.Holland overcame his inexpe-

rience and marched Penn down the field, leading to a three-yard score by then-sophomore run-ning back Spencer Kulscar.

The defense was able to hold on and earn Bagnoli his ninth — and final — Ivy title.

“It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t per-fect or pretty at all,” Copeland said, summing up Bagnoli’s brand of winning football. “We all stayed together.”

nets, making only one field goal in the 8:30 of regulation, and sur-rendering 12 points in overtime.

“Hopefully from the two-point loss in overtime, [players] really buy in to the fact that it’s a sum-mation of one-possession games,” Allen said. “The opportunities that we have in the first half and we turn the ball over seven times — or at the 17-minute mark in the second half when we don’t come up with the defensive rebound … those things come back to haunt you.”

Some of the opportunities that ultimately fell into Hicks’ hands on Saturday may become chanc-es for Darien Nelson-Henry on Tuesday.

The junior center received 28 minutes of action on Saturday and grabbed eight rebounds — four offensive, four defensive — in his

first game since offseason surgery but missed a pair of layups in the final three minutes of the second half.

Most importantly, though, Nel-son-Henry feels that he’s finally healthy, welcome news consider-ing the fact that he missed four games last year — including the Rider matchup — due to injury.

“My wind was better than it had been in previous years, actu-ally,” he said. “I felt pretty good. Obviously it’s something I’m still working on and trying to improve, but physically, my body felt great — no real pain, no nagging inju-ries. It’s just a matter of working back into it, getting my feet under me and just trying to work back into basketball feel.”

The faster Nelson-Henry gets his legs under him, the better Penn’s offense will be in pressure situations, all the better for elimi-nating any lingering memories of last year’s loss on Tuesday night.

their own.”While my fellow editor Holden

McGinnis pointed out that both will need to adjust to the pace of the college game, they have more than enough time to do so with a plethora of games before Princeton in January.

And on the men’s side, there didn’t seem to be any lack in confi-dence from the freshmen.

Point guard Antonio Woods publicized his athleticism with his open court handles while drain-ing some key three-pointers. Fel-low guard Darnell Foreman was one of the loudest players on the hardwood while playing solid on-ball defense. Forward Sam Jones’ propensity for the three-ball shone through within 10 minutes of the opening tip.

And while Mike Auger wasn’t able to find a basket, he was active on the glass and made his presence known despite three turnovers.

Sure, each of them had their flaws, just like Ross and Brzo-zowski. And it may be a while be-fore all of Penn men’s basketball’s freshmen are playing to their true potentia — that room for improve-ment makes this weekend that

much more impressive.“I definitely see a lot of room

for improvement, but to the team’s credit and especially the young guys, we get down double digits early and … they didn’t panic. They stayed poise and kept competing,” coach Jerome Allen said.

“We don’t use our positional timeline as a cheap crutch not to win the basketball game but … I did like some of things I saw out of the young guys.”

This year isn’t going to be smooth sailing from the start. That hasn’t been the modus operandi for either basketball program in recent years and they don’t need to start now. Noncon-ference play will be useful to work out the kinks and get this freshmen class to have the confi-dence of upperclassmen.

And because of these grow-ing pains and the eventual ma-turity of each freshman, there is tremendous upside on the horizon for Penn’s basketball squads.

Men’s Ivy Hoops Roundup

HarvardThe first Ivy League team to

claim a top 25 spot in the pre-season polls in 39 years opened up its season with a 73-52 victo-ry against crosstown rival MIT. Although these schools may be more used to competing in the academic world, both teams showed they could compete on the court as well. Senior guard Wesley Saunders led the way for the No. 25 Crimson (1-1) to pick up the victory with 15 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals. However, Harvard could not follow up its performance on Sunday, falling to Holy Cross in a close battle, 58-57. With the loss, Harvard’s days in the top 25 are numbered.

DartmouthIn the first ever meeting be-

tween Dartmouth (0-1) and St. Bonaventure, the Big Green fell, 77-57. The loss didn’t come as much of a surprise as Dartmouth has failed to win an opener away from Hanover since 1999. Dart-mouth stayed in the game in the first half, facing only a one-point deficit at the beginning of the second half, but the Bonnies ran away with it, forcing a total of 19 turnovers on the night.

YaleYale (0-1) opened its season

with a thrilling yet disappointing double-overtime loss to Quin-nipiac, 88-85. The game ulti-mately came down to rebound-ing as Quinnipiac dominated on the boards, finishing with 54 rebounds including 22 on the of-

fensive end while the Bulldogs only had 38 on the night. Despite the loss, senior guard Javier Du-ren notched 26 points while ju-nior forward Justin Sears posted a double-double.

PrincetonPrinceton (1-1) split the

games on its opening weekend, beating Rider 64-58 on Friday but falling to George Mason 63-60 on Sunday. Overall, the team showed perseverance, overcom-ing a nine-point deficit against Rider to tie the game at 43 and go ahead with three minutes left. However, on Sunday, a cold first half in which the Tigers went 2-for-17 on field goal attempts spoiled the chance of a weekend

sweep.Brown

Brown (1-0) was the only Ivy League team to escape the weekend with an undefeated re-cord, beating St. Peter’s, 70-58, at home. Junior forward Cedric Kuakumensah had a stellar per-formance on both ends of the court, shooting 7-for-9 from the field and blocking three shots, pulling him just one block shy of the Brown record.

CornellCornell (1-1) accomplished

what Princeton couldn’t this weekend, taking down George Mason, 68-60, with an impres-sive defensive showing. Senior forward Shonn Miller, who

missed all of last season, led the Big Red with a double-double while senior guard Devin Cher-ry nearly posted a triple-double. However, Cornell could not keep up the momentum on Sunday as it fell to Loyola (Md.), 76-71.

ColumbiaColumbia (0-1) joined the list

of other Ivy teams that fell by a slim margin this weekend with a tough 57-56 loss to Stony Brook in its season opener. Stony Brook scored the go-ahead bas-ket with only seven seconds re-maining. However, there were several bright spots for the Li-ons, who shot 50 percent from floor in the first half and 43.8 percent for the game.

On Friday and Saturday, 600 miles apart, Penn men’s and women’s basketball took the court, facing wildly diff erent opponents and producing two dissimilar losses.

But the one constant be-tween both teams are the grow-ing pains that come with young squads.

The women’s squad had in-evitable issues of inexperience at the point after the graduation of Alyssa Baron and Meghan McCullough, the team’s pri-mary ballhandlers that each averaged north of 32 minutes per game during the 2013-2014 season .

So of course there was go-ing to be a learning curve, and when the Quakers took on the

No. 4 team in the country, it was going to be displayed for everyone with a subscription to the SEC Network to see.

Yet while the Red and Blue’s freshmen point guards displayed their youth at times, both Anna Ross and Beth Br-zozowski were also two of the bright spots during the Quak-ers’ defeat. Each had a solid handle of the off ense and exhib-ited their ability to make plays on the drive, scoring at the rim or dishing out.

Each gained confi dence as the game went on, as Brzo-zowski began to take control on play after play down the stretch. She even pulled up and drained a three right in front of a Lady Vols defender.

“I give them a lot of credit,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “They challenged themselves. They played against a tremen-dous opponent, and they held

It’s no secret that things have not gone Penn football’s way this year, but for the man at the helm of the program — coach Al Bagnoli — this season has been the outlier, not the norm.

Over his career, Bagnoli has led the team to nine outright Ivy championships and became the winningest coach in pro-gram history.

In preparation for the Quak-ers’ season ending matchup with Cornell and — more im-portantly — Bagnoli’s fi nal game on the Penn sidelines, let’s turn back the clock two

years to another signifi cant matchup with the Big Red.

On Nov. 17, 2012, the Red and Blue traveled to Ithaca, N.Y. with one thing on their minds: an Ivy championship.

At 5-1 in the league and a game up on second-place Har-vard, Penn needed only a win to clinch its third outright Ivy title in four years — a dynasty in the eyes of many onlookers.

Matched up against a Cor-nell squad that sat at 2-4 in the league, the Red and Blue were clear favorites. But the Quakers were a man down.

Then-senior quarterback Billy Ragone was out with an injury, forcing senior Andrew Holland to make his fi rst start

THE WEEKEND’S TOP 10Penn football sent off coach Al Bagnoli with an appropriately classy ceremony during his final home game on the sidelines, featuring a congratulatory video message from Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly.

A tasteful sendoff1.Coming off an All-American season last year, Penn wrestling’s Lorenzo Thomas has gotten this season off to a strong start. At this weekend’s East Stroudsburg Open, he went 5-0, coming out on top of his 184-pound division.

Thomas takes home the title2.

At NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regionals, junior star Thomas Awad finished third overall and will represent Penn at Nationals for the second straight year. Senior Conner Paez was also strong, finishing his collegiate XC career with All-Region honors.

Back to nationals for Awad3.Junior right side hitter Alex Caldwell has been Penn volleyball’s most versatile player all year, and she displayed this skill once again over the weekend. She notched her fifth and final triple-double of the year during her team’s penultimate loss to Brown.

One last triple-double

Penn men’s basketball did not get the result it was looking for against Delaware State on Satur-day, but junior guard Tony Hicks showed a lot of leadership. With 31 points on 45 percent shoot-ing, he earned Big 5 Player of the Week honors.

Quakers out for

revenge? Not quite.M. HOOPS | New-look

Quakers take on Rider in rematch of 2013 debacle

BY IAN WENIKSports Editor

RIDER0-1

Tonight,7 p.m.

The Palestra

A blown 14-point lead. Two missed chances at the game-winning shot. A fi fth consecutive loss.

Suffi ce it to say, Penn basketball’s 89-88 loss to Rider last year was one of the low points in a tough season.

But as the Quakers (0-1) gear up for Tuesday’s rematch against the Broncs (0-1), coach Jerome Allen in-sists that his team isn’t exactly out for revenge.

“I don’t think so,” he said when asked if he thinks his players still think about that loss. “As a staff , we try to look at last year’s game to see if we can pick up any pointers, but with that being said, we’ll just focus on [Rider’s] fi rst game this year, how they fi nished last year in terms of ten-dencies, and that’s it.”

Penn fans should be quite familiar with Rider’s season-opening oppo-nent. The Broncs travelled to Jadwin Gym Friday and fell 64-58 to Princ-eton, despite receiving 16 points from junior guard Teddy Okereafor in his debut.

Okereafor — who started his ca-reer at VCU but sat out 2013-14 due to NCAA transfer rules — is one of three new players in the Broncs’ start-ing lineup relative to their last match-up versus the Quakers, who have dealt with some signifi cant rotation chang-es of their own.

Of the 11 Penn players who re-ceived fl oor time in the Quakers’ 2013 game against Rider, only three remain — senior forward Greg Louis, junior guard Tony Hicks and sopho-more forward Dylan Jones.

Hicks went off in Penn’s season opener against Delaware State on Saturday, a 77-75 overtime loss at the Palestra. The newly-minted cap-tain dropped in 31 points and hit fi ve three-pointers on 9-of-20 shooting.

But the Quakers couldn’t make the plays on either end of the fl oor they needed to coming down the stretch that would have closed out the Hor-
