For University City mogul: When a school fails, (re)build a new one

Michael Karp is sitting in the faculty offi ce at Belmont Charter School, the elementa-ry school he founded in 1997. “I think we need more teacher assistance,” he tells 2008 Graduate School of Educa-tion alumna Claire Cohen, the school’s director. Before she can respond with her usual curt: “Michael!” Karp adds, “I’m willing to pay for it.”

Karp, a 1964 College graduate, will use every out-let within the system to end poverty in West Philadelphia. And if that isn’t enough, he’ll buy a new outlet. Tap-

ping the ball of his hand on the table, he explains, “With my economic circumstanc-es, if I don’t have the confi dence and the willingness to say what I think, t h e n

Under new SP2 dean, a focus on LGBTQ issues

When new School of Social Policy & Practice Dean John Jackson started leading SP2 this semester, he wanted to make big changes.

Increase interactions with the community. Reimagine the school’s curriculum. Develop SP2 into a leader on campus for LG-BTQ issues.

Now, a month after a summit on the state of LGBTQ issues at SP2, the school is on track to become a safer home for LGBTQ students and students interested in LGBTQ issues.

“We are trying to be a leader on campus,” Jackson said.

To build its LGBTQ presence on campus and in Philadelphia, the school established a task force to examine how to address issues facing LGBTQ students. SP2 also created a first-of-its-kind course about LGBTQ issues, established a research fund for junior faculty to study LGBTQ issues and has actively been educating profes-sors about how to address LG-BTQ student issues in appropriate ways, such as explaining the im-portance of using correct gender pronouns.

In guest lecturer Allan Irving’s new course — “LGBTQ Commu-nities and Social Policy” — stu-dents will study the development of social policy in the context of LGBTQ social movements, exam-ining topics such as HIV/AIDS, the Defense of Marriage Act and same-sex marriage.

Thoughts on Philadelphia’s future

On Nov.14, Philadelphia Magazine held its annual ThinkFest which invited many of Philadelphia’s brightest minds to discuss ideas and in-novations that can potentially change the future of the city.

Penn President Amy Gut-mann was among the speak-ers, along with “The Sixth Sense” writer M. Night Shya-malan , Drexel President John Fry , Philadelphia Schools Superintendent William Hite and Saxbys Coff ee CEO Nick Bayer . Hosted at Drexel Uni-versity’s LeBow College of Business , ThinkFast attracted around 400 guests from a di-verse background, as well as University City students.

“advocate for change,” then-Mayor John Street labeled Karp

as a “disruptive force” — fi ring him from

the Philadelphia Board of Educa-

tion in 1999. But Karp

wouldn’t h a v e it any other way.

“It’s important that people don’t say that an appointment to a board ... is an honor where you only say the politically correct thing — where you go along all the time because you en-joy your position on that board,” Karp said, refl ecting on his “controversial” rejection of Coca-Cola’s partnership with the schools. “You should really stand for something.”

So call him what you like, but the results of his commitment to literacy can only be called signifi cant. Since Karp purchased Belmont and con-verted it to a charter school, it has had a 35.8 percent increase in profi cient/

MERT prepares response to mass casualty incident

On Sunday, 65 students lay wounded on Grays Ferry Av-enue.

The Medical Emergency Re-sponse Team enlisted this group of volunteers for its annual Mass Casualty Incident simula-tion. Individuals from MERT, University of Pennsylvania Po-lice Department, the Division of Public Safety, the Philadel-phia Fire Department and Al-liedBarton sharpened their cri-sis response skills by tending to

the “injured” group of students.This year’s simulation mod-

eled a bombing and a secondary active shooter emergency. MCI topics are chosen by MERT on a year by year basis and generally align with current events.

“I was looking in the news for things that I had seen recently,” MCI simulation coordinator and College junior Victoria Pereira said.

This year’s event was inspired by the Boston Marathon bomb-ing and a recent school shooting in Marysville, Washington.

Although Penn has never ex-perienced such an extreme state of emergency, MCI-specific re-sponse can be applied to more commonplace events. MERT approaches Spring Fling, for in-

stance, in much of the same way it might approach an MCI.

“During Spring Fling, we kind of operate under a mass casualty system. At the con-cert, for instance, we have a treatment area where we bring a lot of patients so we don’t have to send them to the hos-pital,” Pereira said. “So we do use these skills for Spring Fling because we have a high call vol-ume.”

The MCI simulation is essen-tially about preparedness.

“You never know what can happen,” Pereria added. “Be-cause we are emergency profes-sionals, we want to be prepared for everything. If anything would happen like this, we are here and ready to respond.”

The Sunday exercise helps the team better

handle events like FlingJILL MOELY

Studying LGBTQ issues is extremely important, Irving said, and in his former spring course he would always teach about LGBTQ issues for three to four weeks. “Now, this is going to be a full course dedicated to the issues,” Irving said.

Questions of social justice will be threaded throughout the course, as will social work ad-vocacy and coalition building. But the syllabus will only be a launching point — the direction of this class is really going to matter on the students who take it.

While Irving has been incor-porating content like this into

his teaching for years, it was un-der Jackson’s deanship that he was finally able to find a place to fit this class in.

The push for an increased focus on LGBTQ issues, Jack-son said, has been part of his strategy to encourage faculty and students to think critically about how to re-imagine issues to change them for the better.

Queer SP2, a graduate student group, has been one of the larg-est groups to grow Jackson’s vi-sion.

Before Queer SP2 co-presi-dents Savannah Knell and Kris Smith started their studies at SP2, the club used to be disor-ganized. But now, QSP2 — an organization less than 10 years old — has made it their goal to

raise awareness of their group and represent the LGBTQ Com-munity in SP2.

“We’ve been pushing for a change in QSP2,” Smith said.

Before this year, QSP2 wasn’t seen as extremely successful or popular, Knell said. Most of SP2’s students are only with the school for one or two years, and during that time they are expect-ed to spend a lot of their time outside the school, doing work in the field.

Now, QSP2 members are looking to come together in a place that is theirs to talk about the things they have in common, and are looking to build on the work of the task force on LG-BTQ issues to increase students’ knowledge about these issues.

DPS honors offi cers at commendation ceremony

From the shooting outside of Copabanana in April to everyday thefts and burglaries on campus, Penn Police offi cers have solved numerous cases since last semester.

On Thursday night, some of-fi cers took a break for an hour to celebrate some of their accom-plishments since April.

At its fall Commendation Cer-emony, the Division of Public Safety honored the offi cers who apprehended Corey Gaynor, the man who allegedly shot another man outside of the Copabanana on April 15, by quickly respond-ing to the shooting. AlliedBarton guards who kept the scene by Co-pabanana calm after the shooting were also praised for their work.

An offi cer from DPS’ Special Services Division and several of-fi cers from the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit were honored for their work on a sexual assault reported on June 21, 2014 by a member of the Penn community. As a result of SVU’s work with DPS, it took police only three days to catch the suspect.

Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli praised the work that DPS does every day, noting spe-cifi cally that he is proud of two recent accomplishments by DPS: that Penn was ranked number one in university safety by Security 500 magazine for the eighth year in a row and that crime against people is down 23 percent from last year.

“We’re happy to say the biggest problem right now is bike theft,” Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said.

Several detectives, including offi cers Charles Ritterson and Steve Thammavong, also received commendations for catching the suspects of a number of thefts. IT Project Manager from PennComm Robert Curry was commended for

saving DPS $337,000 by improv-ing the radio communication with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

DPS’s newest offi cers were also sworn in at Thursday’s ceremony. Among the new offi cers was a sec-ond K9 bomb-sniff er, Offi cer Zzi-sa. Zzisa and her handler, Offi cer Sean Mackey, trained with SEPTA police for about 16 weeks before going on duty.

After Zzisa was sworn in as DPS’s newest pup, Mackey let her off her leash and she and Offi cer Socks — DPS’s fi rst bomb-sniffi ng dog — walked in circles sniffi ng each other’s butts and causing the audience to burst out in laughter. “It’s hard to be around cute dogs and get any attention,” Rush joked.

About 60 people — and one dog — were honored in total at the cer-emony.

Rez program expands to replace Freshman Experience

Harrison College House will expand its Integrated Living Pro-gram to serve as an anchor for the house as the Freshman Experience program will be discontinued.

In 2017, all three high rises will become upperclassmen-only dorms. For Harrison, this change means the loss of the Freshman Experience residential program, in which freshman are integrated into Penn through a combination of mentorship and community-building events.

Harrison Dean Frank Pellicone views this program as extremely important to the sense of commu-nity in Harrison, and believes that losing the program will be detri-

mental to the house.“The freshmen are in many

ways a backbone of our house,” Pellicone said. “I remain hope-ful that between now and then the decision may be reversed and we will continue to see the vibrant, four-year community in Harrison that we have enjoyed through the Freshman Experi-ence program.”

To compensate for the loss, Pellicone has decided to increase the size of the house’s Integrat-ed Living Program — a living-learning program with students from all schools. The group hosts several events throughout the year, ranging from speaker events to book groups to movie nights. Currently, there are two Integrated Living floors, but next year there will be three.

“When it was clear we were losing our freshmen, we thought this would be a nice way to keep up community and academic com-

munity-building,” Pellicone said.Igor Bazay, a College and

Wharton senior who now serves as program coordinator, spearheaded the program in 2011 when he was a part of Riepe College House’s Integrated Studies Program.

“My freshman year in the fall I saw how everyone loved living together and how so many of our friends wanted to share in our community,” Bazay said. “It was a really great experience and we wanted to see that continued.”

The main purpose of the pro-gram is to “create a really open and welcome intellectual com-munity,” Bazay added.

“We intend to build a commu-nity of thought,” Bazay said.

Students in the Integrated Living Program are also push-ing to make connections with freshmen in Riepe’s Integrated Studies Program — despite the coming absence of freshmen in Harrison.

Handing off the ‘torch of leadership’

Next month, minority Penn students are invited to compete, listen and get inspired.

From Dec. 5 through 6, the Wharton African American MBA Association will host the 41st annual Whitney M. Young, Jr. Conference. The annual event brings together students from Penn’s campus and the Philadel-phia area to empower underrep-resented individuals who hope to develop their skills in the corpo-rate world.

The conference honors civil rights leader Whitney M. Young Jr. and aims to bring light to important social, political and economic issues. The theme of the 2014 event is “The Handoff : Running with the Torch of Lead-ership.”

This year’s panel also features the New Venture Competition for aspiring entrepreneurs who have conceptualized or are actively working on a business for less than two years. The fi nalists of the competition will give a pre-sentation during the conference and will enter the national com-petition hosted by Black Enter-prise , a premier business news magazine for African Americans. The submission deadline for the competition ended Nov. 14, and the organizing committee is now focused on selecting the fi nalists.

New Venture Competition planner and Wharton MBA stu-dent Alex Cater said that he hopes the conference, which is notable for its social missions, will bring together people from diverse backgrounds and geo-graphical areas.

“The competition is not only geared towards the business fi elds but will also bring together dif-ferent social perspectives among the participants,” he said.

The two-day event includes business panels, keynote ad-dresses and general discus-sion. Keynote speakers include prominent business leaders such as Vice Chairman of Global Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley Carla Harris , who was appointed by President Barack Obama as Chair of the National Women’s Business Council .

Approximately 500 people participated in last year’s con-ference, and the organizers are expecting an even more sizable group for this year’s event.

“We’d like to invite all people interested in the related fields to participate in this year’s WMY conference,” Cater said.

bound minority students BY RUIHONG LIU Contributing Writer

a “world-class city,” which ranged from improving health-care to educational reform.

Brand Manager of Replica Creative , a design and print marketing fi rm, Keith Leaphart listed “performing arts, culi-nary arts, architectural arts” as creative segments of the city and suggested that “creativity is the biggest asset” for Phila-delphia.

Gutmann pointed to innova-tion as a valuable asset for the city. “Historically, it’s a fun-damental truth that the great-est innovations come from collaboration,” she said. She proudly discussed Penn’s new-ly launched Pennovation Cen-

ter and expressed her belief in the nonprofi t research engine’s impact on the city of Philadel-phia as a whole.

When asked about under-represented minority groups and gender bias in the fi elds of science, technology, engineer-ing and mathematics, Gutmann said that Penn’s two consecu-tive MacArthur Genius Award winners are both women, and Penn’s women faculty increased from 16 to 35 percent since she became Penn’s president.

In addition to sharing Penn’s vision on innovation and re-search in STEM, Gutmann also made insightful comments on the current state of humanities fi elds. When asked by the inter-viewer about her comment on a Harvard Crimson article that

criticized elite schools for treat-ing students as “human capital,” Gutmann shared her personal experience as a social studies major.

“If you can’t communicate well, there is no profession in which you can excel. And it is so important for the country to support the humanities,” Gut-mann said.

In the afternoon, other ThinkFest speakers also shared their mutual love for Philadel-phia and visions on the city’s future development.

Fry envisioned the future of the University District as an innovation neighborhood, and he emphasized Drexel’s mis-sion in shaping the surround-ing area to be more lively. Hite discussed the challenges faced

by the school district and out-lined his agenda for tackling them.

Karen Buchholz, the senior vice president of Comcast, pre-sented the company’s plans for the new innovation and tech-nology center, which she said will have staggering economic impact on Philadelphia and be the highest building in the city after its completion in 2017.

Emma Fried-Cassorla , founder of “Philly Love Notes,” shared her story be-hind the popular blog and showed the audience many inspiring love notes for Phila-delphia. She hopes to gather people together to talk about their love for the city and to “connect people to something larger.”

advanced scores in Reading on the PSSA. The school is also one of two charter schools in Philadelphia with a full health clinic staffed by a nurse practitioner and is the only school with a full-time social work depart-ment.

“You could say I am being the

force that says, ‘Let’s change the sys-tem,’” Karp smiles. He bangs his fist on the table, “It’s not about the mon-ey.” That’s why Karp transferred out of Wharton and into the College years ago. “I knew I didn’t need my college degree to make money.”

He notes that some of his biggest disagreements with city politicians were over money. “You have to have the kids feel [the teachers’] love. If

I changed all my teachers salaries, it would not change one iota what the teachers do with my kids.”

But Belmont Charter is only five blocks away from where Karp be-gan in real estate. The 71-year-old GSE and Wharton dropout started buying student homes in University City when he lived next to White Dog Cafe as a GSE student. With a Penn International Relations Di-ploma and a $30,000 loan from his father, Karp bought 3908 Walnut (which is now Du Bois College House), 3701 Chestnut, and 3916 and 3914 Pine. As the founder of University City Housing Company, he was the first University City landlord to make over West Philly homes with the goal of optimizing them for students.

He currently owns roughly 20 percent of the undergraduate hous-ing market. Although his University City properties only account for 15 percent of his real estate holdings, West Philadelphia runs “in [his] blood” because of his 40-some-thing years of residency here.

“I learned the needs of the com-munity by becoming part of the community,” Karp says. Since he moved out of West Philadelphia to Haverford in 1988, he has sold ATX Telecommunications for $900 million, served on Penn’s Board of Trustees and taught every single one of his five kids Hebrew before kindergarten.

Although Karp’s main source of revenue comes from his privately owned companies that he’d “rather not list,” every dollar he earns forti-fies his commitment to Jewish and educational philanthropy.

That’s why he purchased the Mantua Family Center, Belmont Academy Charter School and, most recently, the Joseph Leidy Elemen-

tary School at 131 Belmont Ave. Cohen, who has worked with Karp since he founded Belmont Charter 12 years ago, notes that many of the employees at Belmont Charter have worked for Karp in one of his many other endeavors. One teacher at the Belmont is someone Karp met on the street.

Cohen attributes his hiring prac-

tices and work ethic to his passion. “He seeks passion in other people and when he finds it, he wants to make sure it’s put to good use,” she says.

So when a teacher comes into the room and asks about a teacher recruitment fair and whether the school can afford it, Karp interjects: ”We have to have it.”

130th Yearof Publication

It was due to a strange series of events that I found myself, about two years ago, dressed up at

an American Israel Political Action Committee policy con-ference. There, conservative pundit Frank Luntz suggested that advocates of Israel cease to defend “Zionism” in politi-cal arguments. He claimed that it is too late for us to defend the word; rather than trying to bring it back, we should just give it up.

While Luntz is right about the word’s urgent condition, I disagree that we should surren-der. It’s not our fault that such a rich and important concept has been misappropriated. If any-thing, I think it’s our responsibil-ity to take it back.

You see, “Zionism” has suf-fered an unfortunate makeover over the last couple of decades. Where it was once a proud ex-pression of a comprehensive ideology, it has now been cheap-ened to a simple platitude. “Ac-tivists” use it interchangeably

with “racism,” “colonialism,” “fascism” and so on. It even enjoys regular comparison with Nazism. I doubt whether its ap-propriators really understand what it means.

Zionism is not racism. It is a collection of beliefs sharing the largely uncontroversial idea that the Jewish people are entitled to self-determination. While its founder, Theodor Herzl, con-ceived of a Jewish homeland amid Germany’s romanticiza-tion of national identity, Zionism

is largely considered a “soft” form of nationalism — one that is less concerned with the strict notion of a fatherland than with the general preservation of Jew-ish identity in its many forms.

Not all Zionists are neces-sarily enthusiastic about an independent Jewish state. One of the most famous Zionist fig-ures, Ahad Ha-am, wrote that the creation of a Jewish state in the Middle East would be im-practical and only put the Jews at further risk. He envisioned a home not of land, but of ideas — a distinct, self-sufficient com-munity rooted in Jewish thought and expression.

Another prominent “cul-tural Zionist” was Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the linguist responsible for reviving Hebrew as a spoken language. Though it has become something of a stereotype for so-cial justice institutions to protest Israel, those with any interest in the diversity of religious and ethnic culture actually have Zi-onism to thank.

There’s nothing intrinsi-cally reprehensible about the idea that the Jews deserve some type of sovereignty. Is it really such a radical idea that a group of people oppressed throughout history might finally deserve a chance at self-determination? Some of us might take issue with the overrepresentation of religious orthodoxy in Israel’s parliament or with the expan-sion of settlements in Palestinian territory, but that still shouldn’t invalidate the general tenets of zionism.

Perhaps the strongest counter is that any particular treatment of the Jews amounts to favorit-ism and that a liberal democratic state should be enough to guar-antee the political protection of all people, regardless of identity. I’m partial to that ideal, but it’s just not realistic. Every attempt at including Jews into the mod-ern state and protecting them has failed and, less than a cen-tury ago, that failure culminated in the atrocities of the Holocaust

— an event that is mocked and invoked regularly by the same mobs that condemn all Zionists compulsively.

This kind of fervent re-ductionism tends to reflect an unwillingness to recognize the other side — a closed-minded-ness that goes hand in hand with radicalism and violence. Not all anti-Zionists are anti-Semites, but at a time in which anti-Israel protests often erupt into chants to “gas the Jews,” it’s hard to be-lieve that those who are most vi-ciously outspoken against Israel are guided by reason.

I should be able to identify as a Zionist without being called a fascist. I should also be able to criticize particular policies by the Israeli government with-out being anti-Zionism. As the debate stands, it’s all or noth-ing. It’s inaccurate and unfair to those of us who are looking for a middle ground. To put it simply, it’s unreasonable.

I urge my peers not to deal in absolutes. We can and should

keep a critical eye to Israel’s government — as to all govern-ments — but let’s ensure that our thinking is equally critical. The concept of Zionism is too broad to be used as a catchall for crude attempts at political protest — I don’t want to surrender its name to fanaticism.

I am a secular, liberal Zi-onist. I have no reason to be ashamed.

Berkeley, 1969. Stu-dent protesters and police clash in a confrontation that

escalates to a point that the Na-tional Guard is called in. The source of the protest: the for-mation of a park. The follow-ing year in Kent, Ohio, a stu-dent protest of the Cambodian Campaign and the war in Viet-nam results in National Guard involvement again, this time leaving four students dead. Fast forward to 2014. Silence.

Perhaps it’s not fair to say silence, but compared to stu-dent activist groups of the ’30s to ’70s, today’s protests are nearly nonexistent. There have been small demonstrations dealing with the Israeli-Pales-tinian conflict, as well the riots in Ferguson, Mo. What has caused this change in student involvement?

A feeling of too many prob-lems to be able to affect change has begun to permeate the ac-tivism community. Too many problems and too little time.

How is a student supposed to spend time contending for a cause, while also keeping up with school work?

Four years ago, Alan Haber, a student activist at the Univer-sity of Michigan in the mid-’50s to early ’60s and the first president of the Students for a Democratic Society, spoke at a conference for the 50th an-niversary of the formation of

the group. According to Haber, this was a strategy initiated by the university system.

“They had some system planners [that thought], ‘How do we close down activism here at this institution?’” Haber said. “Well, you speed up the worker and … you run it like a factory. … now, you miss a day,

you miss a week, you can’t do it,” Haber said. “You’re wasted around this noose of student debt or parental financial en-gagement or expectation, and you can’t just be an activist. I used to say activism is a five-year undergraduate degree, whatever your second major might be. You drop out, you take more time — but you can’t do that now.”

This line of thought is sup-ported by a New York Times article from 2012, which states that, “Many of today’s new graduates find themselves heavily indebted, and to the same institutions that received multibillion-dollar bailouts in the financial crash. Median in-come is stagnant. Their public

universities are underfinanced, and class sizes growing.”

The education system is one of the most important orga-nizations in the world. Students do not attend just to get a piece of paper with some fancy writ-ing. The act of learning is more than what goes on in a class-room. This is why being able to pursue activities is just as im-portant as being able to study in whatever field one chooses.

Where there were singular issues facing students of the ’50s and ’60s — in particular the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War — it is now much harder to find one cause for a majority of students to rally behind.

The passions of students to-day are split between interests such as LGBT rights, police brutality, reproductive rights, environmentalism, foreign troop deployments, feminism — the list is nearly endless. However, we’re prevented from uniting behind a singular cause due to the current fragmenta-

tion of ideals. We have been rendered ineffectual through stratagems of divide and con-quer and cutting of supply lines.

This is why we need to stand together and challenge the system.

On April 14, 2012, over 500 students protested the government loan system for university students in Kuala Lumpur. They fought for a free education system that wouldn’t financially cripple their fami-lies, just for pursuing higher education.

A free post-secondary edu-cation system isn’t unheard of. Germany, Norway, Argen-tina and many others all have government-funded systems in place. China is working on turning to a free education sys-tem. America cannot continue to lag behind global education trends if it wishes to stay com-petitive. By turning to a tuition-free post-secondary system, student debt would be elimi-nated. With the $1 trillion stu-

dent loan debt erased, students would be able to better con-centrate without the shadow of debt burdening them. It would also allow students the time to be more engaged in activi-ties outside the classroom. It is time to take a stand once more, to join in a singular cause, to make our voices heard.

Senior Kamar Saint-Louis ly-ing sprawled out with his head buried in the turf after the fi nal whistle — a visual encapsulation of Penn men’s soccer’s fi nal game.

On a night honoring Penn’s fi ve seniors, the Quakers (6-9-2, 2-3-2 Ivy) fell victim once again to a late goal, losing at home to Harvard, 1-0. However, despite the disap-pointing defeat, the Quakers and their outgoing seniors have plenty of reason to hold their heads high.

Penn was able to put Harvard (11-4-2, 4-1-2) under consider-able pressure throughout the match, accumulating 20 shots in the process. However, a few bad touches by Penn in the fi nal third and several diving saves by Har-vard keeper Evan Mendez pre-vented the Quakers from getting on the board.

Defensively, Penn looked con-siderably more solid at the back than it had for many games this season, and the unit was able to handle Harvard’s strong attacking presence in the box for the fi rst 88 minutes of the match. Unfor-tunately for the Quakers, their old demons came back to haunt them, as a failed clearance in the box lead to a Penn own goal with 1:25 left to play.

“The tough part about tonight is that I thought it was one of our best overall performances,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “I thought we were dangerous and dynamic go-ing forward and generally strong in our box. I thought we deserved more but that’s just been the story of the year.”

“We put a winning perfor-mance down on paper, but it just

didn’t end up that way on the scoreboard,” senior captain Duke Lacroix said. “I just want to thank the guys on the team for putting forward such a valiant eff ort for the seniors today, and even though it wasn’t a winning one they left it all out on the fi eld.”

Those fi ve seniors — Lac-roix, Saint-Louis, Jason deFaria, Mariano Gonzalez-Guerineau and Louis Scott — were all honored before their last match wearing the Red and Blue in what was a surre-al moment, according to Lacroix.

“Building up to this day I really didn’t think about it, but it sort of just hit me when I was out there,” Lacroix said. “Being with all the seniors and the parents and Coach at the beginning of the game was truly special and it was a great honor.”

Lacroix, who amassed 65 ca-reer points as well as Ivy Rookie of the Year and Off ensive Player

of the Year honors, had six shots in his fi nal game as a Quaker and will graduate in the top fi ve all time for Penn in minutes played and points.

The senior class, all of whom played integral parts in Penn’s Ivy Championship last season, will be sorely missed — not only for their talent on the fi eld, but also for their leadership and commitment to their program off of it.

“Coach always says that we car-ry the fl ag for all those who came before us and carry it forward for all who come after,” Lacroix said. “I think we have done a good job carrying the fl ag for Penn, and I feel great about my time here.”

“These fi ve guys sacrifi ced for the program so that we could move forward, and this is a diff er-ent program than the one they en-tered,” Fuller said of his players. “They deserve all the credit in the world.”

in the fi rst half.Stipanovich’s impact was

mostly felt on the defensive end, blocking six shots in the fi rst half after setting Penn’s program reord for blocks during her freshman season.

“From the get-go, I wasn’t ex-pecting her to come out blocking shots like that,” Tennessee junior forward Bashaara Graves said. “Everyone had to change the way they were going to the basket.”

But after Penn took a 20-17 lead on a Stipanovich jumper, the Lady Volunteers took over and thoroughly beat the Red and Blue.

Tennessee’s attack was consis-tent and fi erce, using its superior strength and Bonenberger’s early foul trouble to dominate inside. In the fi rst half, the Lady Volunteers had 15 off ensive rebounds to just 14 overall rebounds for Penn.

And using its speed and shoot-ing, Tennessee torched the Quak-ers in transition, going on a 14-0 run that put Penn out of the game for good. By halftime, the Vols had a 47-25 lead that would only grow.

“We couldn’t score for a while, and I think we lost control of the

pace of the game, the tempo, ev-erything on that line,” McLaugh-lin said. “We gave them too many run-outs, too many open-court baskets. [We] just couldn’t get back.

“We started sending two [play-ers] back, and that still at times wasn’t enough.”

Led by Graves, freshman guard Alexa Middleton and junior center Nia Moore , Tennessee took over on both ends. Graves and Moore were dominant in the post while Middleton displayed her sharp shooting from three-point range in her fi rst college game.

Penn’s two freshman point guards, Anna Ross and Beth Br-zozowski , acquitted themselves well in their fi rst collegiate ac-tion. Each was able to handle Tennessee’s early pressure and add something off ensively for the Quakers.

Down the stretch, Brzozowski gained confi dence and began driving the ball on virtually every possession. She fi nished with 11 points and four assists, leading Penn in both categories while looking strong running the point in her debut.

“This is a tough environment for anyone to start their career, and I thought they did a good

job,” McLaughlin said. “They played in spurts. Anna had a good start and was a little choppy the rest of the way. Beth had a good ending.

“I give them a lot of credit. They challenged themselves. They played against a tremen-dous opponent, and they held their own.”

Stipanovich fi nished with nine points, four rebounds and her six fi rst-half blocks, while Bonen-berger and senior captain Kath-leen Roche added nine and seven points, respectively.

Meanwhile, Moore, Graves and senior center Isabelle Har-rison each had double-doubles during the Lady Vols’ dominant opener. Middleton fi nished with 20 points, while Moore led all scorers with 24 points.

For the Quakers’ young squad, this game will be valuable sea-soning as it gets back in action on Wednesday against La Salle at the Palestra.

“I think it is great experience to come and play in this envi-ronment at Tennessee, a historic place to play,” Roche said. “I think those fi rst 12 minutes — we really took it to them. Going for-ward, we just want to learn to play straight through all 40 minutes.”

Harvard on Senior NightM. SOCCER | Lacroix and rest of seniors play final match with Penn

BY SAM ALTLANDStaff Writer

VS. HARVARD

JING RAN/SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERSenior forward Duke Lacroix finished up a successful career with the Red and Blue over the weekend, ending in the top five in Penn’s history for goals scored.

Red and Blue return to normalcy at Regionals

If the Heptagonal Cham-pionships showed two Penn cross country squads on op-posite ends of the Ivy spec-trum, this weekend represent-ed a return to equality within the program.

On Nov. 14, both the men’s and women’s squads equaled their preseason rankings, with each finishing sixth at Mid-Atlantic Regionals, hosted by Penn State.

The women’s team started the day off for the Quakers, and it had redemption on its mind.

Coming off of a slightly disappointing last place finish at Heps two weekends before, the Red and Blue were look-ing to notch one final strong performance leading into track season.

And they did just that, earning a very respectable sixth place finish, and, in coach Steve Dolan’s estima-tion, putting together argu-ably their strongest team per-formance of the year.

“I feel confident, as do the women, that we have improved significantly this year,” coach Dolan said. “And we are very excited for track.”

“We were humble at Heps,” Clarissa Whiting said. “We were actually able to do things to diffuse our own in-dividual abilities to run our best race here.”

The dynamic duo of sopho-more twins Cleo and Clarissa Whiting led the way, finish-ing in 19th and 20th place overall, respectively.

It was an especially im-portant result for Cleo, who has been forced to deal with injuries since the offseason but has battled through to re-establish herself as one of Penn’s top runners after earn-ing a trip to cross country Na-tionals last year.

“Being injured, I lost a couple of months of train-ing,” Cleo said. “So for it all to come together and for me to peak when I needed to was a relief.”

The men’s team came into the day with higher expecta-

tions than its female counter-part. In fact, the squad had a stretch goal of parlaying its third place finish at Heps into a third place finish at Region-als and, potentially, a team bid to Nationals.

While the squad fell short on its lofty ambitions, Dolan was still pleased with his ath-letes’ overall responsibilities.

“Making Nationals would have been one of the ‘dream goals,’” Dolan said. “The stars would have had to align … Sixth place was a good run for us.”

Once again, junior star Thomas Awad led the way, this time with a third place overall finish, earning his second straight trip to Na-tionals.

After earning the first in-dividual Heps title for Penn since 1975, Awad was far more conservative coming into Regionals.

“What we both talked about was [to] stay up there and make sure you’re in a position to qualify, but don’t go for the win at all costs,” Dolan explained.

Meanwhile, senior Conner Paez built off of his impres-sive finish at Heps with a 23rd place finish at Region-als, earning All-Region hon-ors and finishing off his cross country career on an ideal note.

“It’s the best possible way I could have ended my cross country career,” Paez said. “It felt really good to kind of re-alize my potential.”

Moving forward, both squads will begin to look to build off of their cross coun-try seasons and make further progress in track.

“In the end it was quite a successful season, and we’ll work to build on it,” Dolan said.

Awad will make the trip out to Indiana to compete in Nationals on Nov 22.

The roller coaster season for Penn

volleyball has screeched to a stop, and the team’s fi nal weekend of matches shows that the ride will need

some maintenance moving forward.The Quakers (8-17, 5-9 Ivy) faced

their fi nal foes of the season on a

New England road trip with famil-iar opponents. Last time Penn faced Yale and Brown was the Dig Pink! weekend, when Yale’s Mollie Rog-ers led the Elis to a 3-0 victory over the Red and Blue. However, the team bounced back the next day and went the distance with the Bears, winning 3-2.

After a loss at Harvard last week-end, Penn had hoped that same bounce-back mentality would help end the season on a high note, but its fi nal campaign against Brown and Yale resembled its fi rst in the worst of ways.

Penn once again took Brown (12-14, 7-7) to fi ve sets, but the party would stay in Providence as Penn dropped three straight to lose 3-2. All three lost sets were close, yet the Quakers could not seal the deal to salvage any chance of fi nishing with an even win-loss record in Ivy League play.

The silver lining in the Brown match was the play of Penn’s junior stars. Outside hitter Alexis Genske and right side Alex Caldwell have been the best players on the strug-gling roster and Friday night was no diff erent — Genske had 19 kills and

Caldwell recorded her fi fth triple-double of the season.

Saturday’s match against Yale (16-7, 12-2) provided less of a look at the team’s bright spots. The Bull-dogs swept their visitors in New Haven. Genske recorded only four kills, and she endured a rare match plagued by six errors. No member of the Red and Blue fi nished with dou-ble-digit kills for the fi rst time since Halloween.

The seniors played comparatively

well in their last game, accounting for 37 percent of Penn’s total points. Middle blocker Kendall Turner de-livered a strong performance with 8.5 points, and setters Meghan Con-nolly and Trina Ohms each notched points in their fi nal outing.

So ends the 2014 season for the Quakers. With a record of 8-17 and an Ivy record of 5-9, they fi nish in fi fth place in the Ancient Eight, as Harvard and Yale tie for the Ivy title. The rankings determined by the NCAA’s RPI ranking system places Penn in the bottom half of Division I teams nationally as Penn sustains its fi rst losing season since 2011.

Despite a middle-of-the-road performance in 2014, Penn houses a lot of potential for improvement. Of the team’s starters, only Turner is graduating. The four players who participated in the most sets are all returning, none as important as Gen-ske. The team’s only junior captain, Genske could possess the leadership experience necessary to take this team back to Ivy contention.

With young talent and experi-enced leadership, the Quakers have over nine months until the roller coaster starts again. Only time will tell whether 2015 will be as rocky a ride as this year.

picked off Hosch and set the Red and Blue up in Crimson territory, the common theme of Saturday’s game — mistakes on special teams — reared its head again.

Gammill’s miss to the right was followed up by Stanton’s sec-ond score of the day, and an An-drew Flesher fi eld goal with two minutes remaining before the half sent Harvard into the break lead-ing, 17-10.

But the Red and Blue’s defense set the tone for the second half, forcing three consecutive Harvard three-and-outs following halftime.

As Hosch and Stanton strug-gled, quarterback Alek Torgersen began to pick apart the Crimson’s defense. After the sophomore found senior tight end Mitch King

for a 12-yard touchdown with 9:36 remaining in the third quar-

ter, Torgersen added a four-yard touchdown run on a 55-second

scoring drive to help Penn seize the lead once again, 24-17.

“We knew coming in that we were going to have to play our best game if we were going to beat them,” King said. “For the fi rst three quarters, the team was really hyped up because of how we were playing.”

But missed opportunities came back to haunt the Quakers. After Gammill’s second miss, Flesher added a 38-yard fi eld goal before the Crimson hammered the fi nal nail into Penn’s coffi n.

Following a Red and Blue punt, Hosch found a senior tight end of his own — Tyler Hamblin — for a 28-yard touchdown with a little over 10 minutes remaining. Eight plays later, Stanton managed to fi nd his way into the endzone for the 14-yard score that put the game out of Penn’s reach.

FOOTBALL>> PAGE 12

The fi ght the Red and Blue brought to the Frank on Satur-day was surely inspired by the special circumstances surround-ing the game, but it was also a continuation of the heightened performance on both sides of the ball that has developed recently.

The Quakers really started to compete at a higher level last week in a hard-fought 22-17 loss against rival Princeton.

It was a draining eff ort, but the Quakers were able to build on it and put together a perfor-mance that had the undefeated

class of the Ivy League on the ropes into the fourth quarter.

Sophomore quarterback Alek Torgersen looked as poised as he’s ever been on Saturday, de-livering throw after throw while avoiding turnovers, which is something the Ivy League leader in completions had struggled with earlier in the season.

And although Penn’s defense didn’t have an answer for Har-vard running back Paul Stanton , the unit generated three of its 11 turnovers on the season against the Crimson.

“I’ve got no big complaints,” Bagnoli said. “We would have loved to win the game, but I’m

proud of our kids’ eff ort, of how hard they played.”

In the week leading up to his last game at Franklin Field, Bag-noli talked about measuring suc-cess in ways beyond the win-loss column.

He said that given the circum-stances the program has faced this season, it’s also important to look at the degree to which the team — along with its indi-vidual players — is improving and reaching its potential.

The nine-time Ivy League champion returned to the topic after Saturday’s loss.

“You can see all of these young kids making signifi cant

improvements and taking that next step, and I think that’s go-ing to bode really well for us,” Bagnoli said.

“We’re defi nitely going in the right direction.”

Granted, there was really no direction to go but up for Penn football after its 0-4 start this season, but Saturday’s perfor-mance was a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Penn ends season in disappointing fashion

AT BROWN AT YALE

10 SPORTS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2014 | THEDP.COMTHE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

If Saturday’s season opener against Delaware State was only 35 minutes long, the con-versation about Penn basketball

would probably be different.The Quakers spent most of the

game proving that this is a far differ-ent program than the one that disap-pointed throughout the entirety of last season.

Freshmen were stepping up.Guards Darnell Foreman and

Antonio Woods — Woods espe-cially — showed that they have the handles and wherewithal to be solid offensive contributors at a Division I level. Forward Mike Auger showed that he can be a force on the offen-sive boards. And perhaps most sur-prisingly, Sam Jones showed that he is already a lethal shooter and floor-spacer.

The team’s leader emerged.

Star junior guard Tony Hicks was phenomenal for the vast majority of the game, ending with 31 points on a relatively efficient performance, making nine of his 20 attempts.

The squad showed a lot of heart. If a ball was loose, there was an ex-cellent chance that the Red and Blue would be the first on the floor.

At one point, Hicks crashed into the stands after unsuccessfully div-ing to grab a loose ball, and the im-pact was vicious. An official asked him if he was OK, and Tony didn’t even respond. He was just upset that he couldn’t get to the ball.

Think he would have shown the same type of leadership last year?

And most of all, you could feel that the team was playing with a type of purpose and togetherness that was nowhere to be found last season.

As a result, the Quakers entered the game’s final stretch with a victory seemingly in hand.

“I don’t want to compare these guys to last year’s team, because it’s a different team,” coach Jerome Allen said. “I will say though I like coach-ing this group.

“We like one another.”And then last year’s on-court ten-

dencies started to reveal themselves once again.

There are a number of moments you could point to as times when the Quakers could have put their oppo-nent away. Right off the bat, a missed free throw on a one-and-one from Hicks and a couple short misses in-side from junior center Darien Nel-son-Henry — who otherwise played a solid 28 minutes — come to mind.

It’s tempting to say that the Quak-ers choked the game away and to point to any of these moments as the reason for the loss, but ultimately, that’s a cop-out.

Despite the much improved at-mosphere surrounding the program and some individual moments of brilliance, the Quakers’ actual play throughout the game was not exactly light years ahead of last year.

In fact, throughout the game, the Quakers’ defense struggled to stop dribble penetration, account for three point shooters and grab key defen-sive boards. Meanwhile, the Red and Blue offense looked out of sorts at

times, often relying on Hicks to bail the squad out.

All of this is to be expected. With four freshmen getting significant minutes and only two players — Hicks and Nelson-Henry — return-ing with significant minutes under their belts, it’s only natural for the team to have some growing pains.

“I’m the type to look for moral

victories,” Allen said. “With that be-ing said, I’m not blinded to where we are in terms of our position on the timeline.”

So forget about the atrocious end-ing of the game. After all, even if Hicks’ last-second attempt had rolled in and the Quakers had won, it still would not change the fact that the team has a lot of improving to do.

What is important, though, is that with a new sense of purpose and a more positive atmosphere, the team seems to have the foundation laid to do just that.

fensive glass, Penn mounted a comeback and went into the half ahead by one, 35-34.

Junior guard Tony Hicks was effective in the first half, scoring 10 of his game-high 31 points, but came out even stronger in the second.

Late in the second half, the Quakers began to claim a siz-able lead, yet the Hornets con-tinued to keep things close. Af-ter a missed transition layup by junior center Darien Nelson-Henry with about three min-utes to go, the Red and Blue were still ahead 65-61.

A few plays later, Delaware State tied the game up at 65 with a little over a minute to go.

With about 15 seconds to go, freshman guard Darnell Fore-

man tried to thread a tough pass after Hornets forward Aric Dickerson missed an open three. Luckily for the Quakers, it skipped out of bounds off a Hornets defender, setting up the final play.

Hicks had a chance to win the game at the end of regula-tion on a turnaround jumper from the right block, but he was unable to convert.

“It was just a play that didn’t go down,” Hicks said.

In overtime, the Hornets got an early basket and never looked back, never letting the Quakers claim the lead. After a missed Hicks three-pointer, Hornets guard DeAndre Hay-wood knocked down a pair of free throws to ice the game.

The story of the night early on for the Quakers was the rise of the freshmen, as Mike Auger, Sam Jones, Antonio

Woods and Darnell Foreman all saw very serious minutes. Foreman and Woods split duty at the point guard spot for most of the game and combined for 10 first-half points.

In total, the freshmen ac-counted for 102 of the team’s 225 minutes.

“They played hard. It was what I expected from preseason and practice,” Hicks said of the freshmen’s performance. “They stayed positive the en-tire game. I think the mental part was the most important.”

Allen utilized small-ball lineups throughout, either run-ning with four guards at a time or with Jones as a stretch-four. Delaware State put serious em-phasis on preventing Nelson-Henry from getting his game going inside, and the Quakers reacted.

“We knew he was going to

draw a lot of attention. To his credit, he was poised. He didn’t force anything,” Allen said.

”He played 28 minutes to-night. If we can have him com-peting at that level for that block of time, I think eventu-ally he’s going to be fine.”

Penn dominated the offen-sive glass early in the game, coming up with 21 offensive rebounds. By keeping posses-sions alive, the Quakers were able to capitalize on second-chance points and keep them-selves ahead for much of the game despite Delaware State’s shooting.

Yet toward the end of the game, the Hornets began to turn around the rebounding margin and won the margin during the second half and overtime.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – For the fi rst nine minutes, Penn women’s basketball looked like it could hang with the No. 4 team in the country.

But in the end, Tennessee proved too much for the Quakers, as expected.

In the Quakers’ season open-er, the Lady Volunteers took down the Red and Blue, 97-52, in front of a large crowd at Thomp-son-Boling Arena. Tennessee (1-0) used a 47-8 run that spanned both halves to end any hope of a Quakers’ upset.

The defending Ivy League champions Penn (0-1) started out hot, looking determined to take down the defending SEC cham-

pion Vols with eight national titles on their resume.

The Quakers’ early success came from a balanced attack, spreading the ball with four dif-ferent players scoring Penn’s fi rst four baskets. Senior captain and forward Kara Bonenberger was strong early alongside sopho-more center Sydney Stipanovich .

"[It was] a tremendous at-mosphere for our players to learn and develop,” coach Mike McLaughlin said. “I’m proud the way we came out. We really challenged ourselves for the fi rst 10-12 minutes.”

However, the Lady Volun-teers got Bonenberger into early foul trouble, with two quick fouls in the fi rst fi ve minutes and four

The Quakers certainly had their chances.

There were a pair of shots for Darien Nelson-Henry down the stretch. A missed Tony Hicks turn-around as time expired. A stolen in-bounds pass with just sec-onds remaining in overtime. The list goes on.

But Penn basketball couldn’t pull out the win in regulation and in overtime, Delaware State put together the plays when it needed to winning, 77-75.

“We prepared to win a basketball game for a num-ber of weeks and we came up short,” coach Jerome Al-len said.

“We played hard, but we didn’t always play smart. At critical times, when we needed good possessions on both ends of the floor, it didn’t happen. We’re going to learn from the tape and we’ll get better.”

The Quakers (0-1) came out of the gate slow, falling behind the Hornets (1-0) by 10 in the first six minutes. But with hustle on the of-

It was going to be the perfect sendoff for Penn football coach Al Bagnoli.

Leading by seven near the end of the third quarter, the Quakers were driving in Harvard terri-tory and had a chance to put the

Crimson further on the ropes. On fourth and seven from the 20, ju-nior kicker Jimmy Gammill lined up for a 37-yard fi eld goal at-tempt, one that could have pushed the Red and Blue’s lead to double digits.

Bad snap. Boot on the laces. No good.

Although a full quarter re-mained in Bagnoli’s fi nal contest at Franklin Field, Gammill’s sec-ond miss of the day turned out to be the beginning of the end for Penn. Harvard managed to score

on its three subsequent posses-sions to clinch the win, 34-24, and a share of its second consecutive Ivy League title.

“We knew we were in for a 60-minute game and that we would have to play well for all 60 minutes,” Bagnoli said. “We played well for a high percentage of the game, but we made a couple too many mistakes and we left some points on the fi eld.”

Saturday’s contest looked like it wouldn’t go the Red and Blue’s way from the very beginning. Fol-

lowing a blocked punt, Harvard junior running back Paul Stanton Jr. took the handoff on his team’s fi rst play and raced 42 yards un-touched to the endzone to put the Crimson (9-0, 6-0 Ivy) up less than three minutes into the game.

It was the beginning of quite the day for Stanton. The Kenner, L.A., native scored three times on Saturday, adding additional touchdown scampers of 75 and 14 yards, respectively.

After Gammill connected on a 24-yard fi eld goal to get Penn

on the board, the Red and Blue’s defense began to match Harvard’s intensity. After a pass by Harvard junior quarterback Scott Hosch was tipped at the line of scrim-mage, junior Jack Madden nabbed his second interception of the sea-son.

Seven plays later, the Quakers (1-8, 1-5) faced fourth and goal from the one. Having been stuff ed on his previous two rushing at-tempts, sophomore Adam Strouss faked the draw and instead threw a jump pass to senior tight end Ryan

O’Malley in the back of the end-zone for the former’s fi rst career touchdown pass. Penn’s 10-7 lead marked the fi rst time Harvard had trailed since its second game of the season.

“To say that Penn gave us all we could handle is an understate-ment,” Harvard coach Tim Mur-phy said. “They played like an outstanding football team today and a team that expected to win.”

to Crimson in Bagnoli’s final home gameBY RILEY STEELE

Senior Sports Editor-Elect

ILANA WURMAN/SPORTS PHOTO EDITOR-ELECTIn his final coaching appearance for the Quakers at Franklin Field, coach Al Bagnoli was honored before the game with a framed jersey of No. 9 – the number of Ivy League titles his teams have won – while receiving video messages throughout the game from his peers. Videos included messages from Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, Villanova coach Andy Talley and others.

In defeat, Penn does Bagnoli proud An inspired, honest eff ort.That is all Al Bagnoli could

have expected from his team in his last home game, and that is what Penn football delivered in its back-and-forth 34-24 loss to Harvard on Senior Day.

It sure would have been nice to send off the program’s win-ningest coach with another vic-tory in his fi nal game at Franklin Field, but even Bagnoli himself acknowledged that Penn is not currently on the same competi-tive standing as Harvard.

“Given where we are as a program, we’re just not quite good enough to overcome things like missed opportunities or big plays against a team at the level of Harvard,” Bagnoli said after the game.

The Quakers had their fair share of miscues that ultimately prevented an upset, but what stood out about Saturday’s eff ort was that the Red and Blue didn’t let those mistakes stop them from being competitive — they even led by a touchdown deep into the third quarter.

It wasn’t a complete 60-min-ute eff ort, but it was the best the Red and Blue have played all season and a material improve-ment over their underwhelming showings against Dartmouth and Yale earlier this year.

“We watched them all year, and they were so close,” Har-vard coach Tim Murphy said. “They played like an outstand-ing football team today. They played like a team that expected to win.”
