THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2015 ONLINE 7 DAYS A WEEK AT THEDP.COM FOLLOW US @DAILYPENN FOR THE LATEST UPDATES U. City sees an uptick in armed robberies Following the buzz about a cockroach problem in 1920 Commons, the dining hall remains as crowded as ever. Many students learned of the issue two weeks ago when Under the Button published “The Inconvenient (Health- Threatening) Truth Behind Your Meals,” which detailed several Philadelphia Food Safety Inspection Reports of Penn’s dining halls. But Penn Dining says it has taken mea- sures to ensure the health and sanitation of its facilities. These free, publicly-available reports also reveal vari- ous sanitary concerns for Kings Court English House, Hill House and Falk Dining Commons in Steinhardt Hall. Most notably, the reports indicate a lack of cleanliness in the men’s bathroom at Kings Court in February 2013, past evidence of rodent and insect activity at Hill in January 2013, mouse droppings in the main kitchen of Hillel in December 2014 and “live roaches observed in breakfast and ice cream station areas” at Commons last October. The UTB article quickly spread across Penn students’ Facebook walls, provoking some gut reactions to Penn Din- ing’s food safety practices. “I find it a little worrying that we didn’t find out about the [food safety] problems until someone posted the reports on Facebook,” College freshman JinAh Kim said. Criminals don’t usually like the cold, says Vice President for Public Safety Mau- reen Rush. Not so this year. Despite low temperatures last week, Penn and Drexel police are facing a spike in armed rob- beries, with five armed robberies and one unarmed robbery reported between Feb. 7 and Feb. 15. Over the course of approximately one week, two armed robberies occurred on Penn’s campus, and three armed robber- ies and an unarmed robbery occurred on Drexel’s campus. No suspects have been ar- rested in any of these cases, and five of the six were highway robberies, meaning the victims were robbed while walking down the street. The sixth was a residential rob- bery. The first robbery at Penn occurred at 7:50 p.m. on the 4100 block of Pine. A female student reported a male suspect had pushed her from behind and then asked her to empty her pockets. When she turned around, she saw that the suspect had a small black handgun. She handed over her cell phone before the suspect “got spooked” and ran away, Rush said. The woman described the suspect as a black male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, with shoul- der-length dreadlocks and dark-colored jeans. He escaped from the scene in a dark colored vehicle, headed eastbound on Pine Street. The second robbery at Penn occurred at 11:11 p.m. on Feb. 8 on 200 South 38th Street.

Penn launched its mental health HELP line on Dec. 1, 2014. Since then, 54 students have called the number. Of these calls, two were made on behalf of a student who the caller wanted to check in on, 17 were transferred to Counseling and Psychological Services and eight were requests for information, according to the Mental Health Task Force report. “This really just is the catch-all for people in the crisis who might not feel they have the energy to look up the numbers,” Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush, who sat on the Mental Health Task Force, said. Setting up the HELP line was not a simple task, Rush said. “We had to acquire the phone number, we wanted to ensure that the PennComm call-takers were trained to re- spond.” Callers reach the HELP line for a variety of reasons. Rush said some callers simply request information about CAPS, others are parents who are worried about their children and still others are students calling for personal help. “Some of the calls might be a parent who says, ‘I haven’t been able to reach my son for a whole weekend. I’m worried,’” Rush said. She said DPS would respond by sending police of- ficers to find the student and ask them to call their parents. Alternatively, she said, a student will say, “‘I’m feeling like I’m wanting to hurt myself, and I need help.’” In this case, the dispatch- ers will “immediately connect that person to the on-call CAPS person. In urgent cases, DPS will arrange transportation for a person to a hospital, if this is what the CAPS clinician on duty recommends. “We are not psychologists. We are trained to be a crisis center,” Rush said. When students do reach CAPS, the clinicians take over. “There’s a mechanism where the dispatcher keeps the caller on the line and reaches the CAPS clinician on call and connects the two so that the person never goes off the line,” CAPS Director Bill Alexander said. He added that the system is not simple. If a student calls on a Friday, for example, CAPS will follow up multiple times over the course of the weekend.

I wanted to be like her and she just gave me strength and she gave me lots of love. I don’t know what I’m going to do the rest of my life without her.” Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare form cancer that affects the body’s bones and tissues. Bilotti was diagnosed at age 11, and she fought the disease for 10 years and eight months. After going into remission for a few years and nearly being considered a survi- vor, her cancer returned in 2009. “She always set goals in life and that’s what got her through a lot of this,” her mother said. “The day she found out she got into Penn was one of her happiest days.” Over the course of her illness and its extensive treatment, Bilotti was held back a grade and took off a se- mester from Penn. After taking some time off again this spring, she had hoped to return to Penn in the fall. “Alex was an amazing young woman who is going to be missed by the chapter,” Zeta chapter president Julia Peng said on behalf of the so- rority in an email. “When Alex first joined Zeta, we learned of her di- agnosis.

    U. City sees an uptick in armed robberies

    Following the buzz about a cockroach problem in 1920 Commons, the dining hall remains as crowded as ever.

    Many students learned of the issue two weeks ago when Under the Button published The Inconvenient (Health-Threatening) Truth Behind Your Meals, which detailed several Philadelphia Food Safety Inspection Reports of Penns dining halls. But Penn Dining says it has taken mea-sures to ensure the health and sanitation of its facilities.

Most notably, the reports indicate a lack of cleanliness in the mens bathroom at Kings Court in February 2013, past evidence of rodent and insect activity at Hill in January 2013, mouse droppings in the main kitchen of Hillel in December 2014 and live roaches observed in breakfast and ice cream station areas at Commons last October.

    Penn launches 24/7 hotline

    Students who dont know where to turn now have a central option for mental health con-cerns: 215-898-HELP.

    Penn launched its mental health HELP line on Dec. 1, 2014. Since then, 54 students have called the number. Of these calls, two were made on behalf of a student who the caller wanted to check in on, 17 were transferred to Counseling and Psychological Services and eight were requests for information, according to the Mental Health Task Force report.

    This really just is the catch-all for people in the crisis who might not feel they have the energy to look up the numbers, Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush, who sat on the Mental Health Task Force, said.

    Setting up the HELP line was not a simple task, Rush said. We had to acquire the phone number, we wanted to ensure that the PennComm call-takers were trained to re-spond.

    Callers reach the HELP line for a variety of reasons. Rush said some callers simply request information about CAPS, others are parents who are worried about their children and still others are students calling for personal help.

    Some of the calls might be a parent who says, I havent been able to reach my son for a whole weekend. Im worried, Rush said. She said DPS would respond by sending police of-ficers to find the student and ask them to call their parents.

    Madison Hollerans friends, family reflect on Penns mental health effortsSOPHIA WITTESenior Reporter

    The friends and family of Madison Holle-ran, a Penn student who committed suicide last spring semester, see Penns new mental health efforts as a move in the right direction, but they believe more must be done to create a stronger sense of community and support across campus.

    A referendum this week will reveal if Penn students support fossil fuel divestment, but the vote is only the first step in a long pro-cess leading to change.

    Starting Monday, Penn under-graduates can vote in a referendum on whether or not they believe the University should divest from fossil fuels. The student group Fossil Free Penn launched the referendum with a petition, and the Nomina-tions and Elections committee is overseeing the voting process.

    In order for the referendum to

    pass, at least 15 percent of the un-dergraduate population must vote, with at least 50 percent of voters fa-voring divestment. However, even if the referendum passes, there is no guarantee that the University will divest from fossil fuels the motion will then go through six ad-ditional steps of approval, ending with the Executive Committee of Trustees, which has the final vote.

    The hurdles are very, very high for those that are looking to divest [from fossil fuel], professor of philosophy and chair of the Social Responsibility Advisory Commit-tee Michael Weisberg said.

    Although Penn does not pub-lish a breakdown of its specific investments, members of Fossil Free Penn used a variety of met-rics to estimate that $315 million

    of Penns $9.6 billion endowment is currently invested in fossil fuel companies.

    Support for fossil fuel divest-ment is gaining momentum across peer institutions. On Feb. 12, a group of Harvard students protest-ing fossil fuel investments staged a sit-in in Massachusetts Hall, which contains the offices of high level administrators, including the presi-dent.

    Although Stanford decided to terminate its investments from coal, but not all fossil fuels, last May, no Ivy League school has yet divested from fossil fuels.

    On things like this we like to be comfortably among our peers, and our peers have not divested from fossil fuel, Weisberg said.

    Penn has divested from

    particular industries in previous years, albeit in rare circumstances. In the 1980s, Penn divested from companies that did business in South Africa, and in 2006 Penn divested from oil companies in Sudan in response to the genocide in Darfur. In 2011, Penn decided that it would not put future invest-ments in HEI Hotels and Resorts, which was accused of unlaw-ful anti-organizing practices and unfair working conditions.

    Last year a movement advocated for divestment from the tobacco in-dustry with overwhelming support from the University community including students, professors and the University Council. Yet, the proposal did not meet the Trustees standard for divestment, which says that an investment must constitute

    a moral evil implicating a core University value that is creating a substantial social injury, and the Trustees decided not to divest.

    Penns divestment policy en-courages financially-minded decisions unswayed by public opinion, reading there is a strong presumption against the University making investment decisions based upon political, social, or ethical positions held by members of the community.

    The Trustees have the sole re-sponsibility for making investment decisions, with the overarching goal of protecting and maximiz-ing the resources of the University in support of its primary mission of teaching, research and clinical care, Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli said in an email

    statement.However, Weisberg challenged

    the idea that only financial con-siderations should shape Penns portfolio. Penn is not a corpora-tion, it is a community of scholars, he said.

    Even though the referendum may not lead directly to divestment, Fossil Free Penn coordinator and College sophomore Peter Thacher thinks it will be effective.

    The goal of this referendum is to contribute to our pressure on the University to divest, he said. I dont personally expect the University to agree to divest right after this referendum, but we think that after broad student support is proven we can go into negotia-tions with them and we will have a strong case.

    graduate student at Penn, said a man approached her from behind, told her he had a knife and then asked for her money. The suspect was described as a 5-foot-11 black man of medium build, wear-ing dark clothing, black Nike

    sneakers and a dark beanie cap.While both Penn victims were

    female and the suspect in both cases fit a similar height descrip-tion, to Penn Police it is still unclear whether the two suspects are the same person.

    We never rule out anything, Rush said.

    At Drexel, a student reported

    that three men hit him in the back of the head with what he believed to be a handgun. The alleged crime occurred on Feb. 7 at 1:59 a.m. on the 3600 block of Hamil-ton Street. The men then knocked him to the ground and fled with his wallet and bike, according to The Triangle, Drexels newspa-per.

    The next night, at 10:40 p.m. a non-Drexel affiliate was hit over the back of the head with a hand-gun and took cash at 200 Baring Street, The Triangle reported. The Drexel Department of Public Safety was unable to be reached before this article went to print.

    Armed robberies are not frequent at Penn, Rush said,

    especially in the winter.The University City Public

    Safety Group, which includes Philadelphia Police, Penn Police, Drexel Police and the district at-torneys office, is working to investigate and solve the robber-ies, Rush said. The departments are sharing intelligence and look-ing for citywide robberies that fit

    similar descriptions.Rush urged Penn students to

    use walking escorts until the cases are solved, who can be ap-proached on the street or called through the Penn Walk number.

    Everyones so bundled up, so clearly just being aware of your surroundings is important for staying safe, Rush added.

    what was going on in their head.Without any major mental health

    issues before coming to Penn, Madi-son Holleran, a track star known for also balancing her academics and social life, committed suicide in January of her freshman year. Holle-rans friends and family commended several parts of Penns Task Force recommendations, including the clarified leave of absence policy, the shortened timeline for Counseling and Psychological Services appoint-ments and the I CARE training program to recognize warning signs of student distress.

    However, they emphasized the need for tangible criteria to measure the success of Penns efforts, a criti-cism pointed out by many students on campus.

    I think the approach of cultural change as an overarching theme is a very good step forward for Penn, but that being said, I dont think you can get much accomplished without concrete goals, Gardner said. Even though its hard to measure, you have to start somewhere, and I think having a general timeline is a pretty standard step toward getting to any goal.

    CAPS director Bill Alexander said the effectiveness of Penns poli-cies and programs will be measured by the oversight team a group of students, faculty and staff that will watch over the arc of mental health on our campus and guide it with suggestions for at least the next four years.

    But the need for benchmarks was also highlighted by another close friend of Hollerans, who preferred to remain anonymous. She said the rec-ommendations have good intentions, but will ultimately be ineffective not only based on the missing implementation plan, but also due to the lack of student representatives on the Task Force.

    It almost feels like the adults of the conversation are making all the decisions that impact the students, she said. Solving a problem within the Penn community needs to in-volve the people who see and deal with it first hand: the students.

    While the Task Force met with student groups and incorporated

    their suggestions, the need for more student voices was also criticized by Edward Modica, one of Madisons elementary school teachers whose petition for a law is being drafted into proposed New Jersey state leg-islation he wants to call the Madison Holleran Law. Modica also said Penn should make data available on the number of attempted suicides on campus, a component of the legisla-tion.

    Bill Alexander explained that the gray area of what is considered a suicide attempt makes collecting such data extremely challenging, and Penn would be limited by privacy laws and family wishes in making the information public.

    Beyond these specific criti-cisms, Madison Hollerans family and friends all touched on the need for Penn to foster a greater sense of community on campus. Though her suicide resulted from many complex factors, Gardner and two anony-mous friends said Madisons stress was likely influenced by her drive to excel, coupled with a culture at Penn that makes opening up to people very difficult.

    I think Madison had trouble communicating even to her close friends about how she was feeling, since I think she really felt that her problems were a weakness, Holle-rans father said. Its very difficult for high-performing people to admit they need assistance.

    It all boils down to creating a communal environment, which I think is a central part of getting people to open up, Gardner said. I think Penn really lacks the feeling that there is a community to support you, and not having this sort of net-work is one of the main things that [Madison and I] would talk about early last year when we bonded a lot over our mutual unhappiness in tran-sitioning to Penn.

    Another friend of Madisons who preferred to remain anonymous said Penn has done a good job at making its resources more available, espe-cially given the campus culture of competition that drives students to be ambitious in all of their pursuits.

    I dont think people would be as successful at Penn without the competitive environment thats fostered here, she said. But at the same time, theres also a cost to that

    the impact on Madison being an example so its really important that they continue to promote mental health.

    Through initiatives like a new peer counseling group and a mobile app designed to centralize the informa-tion of mental health resources, Penn is trying to shift this cultural cost by making resources more accessible and by educating and training people on the topic of mental health.

    We want to emphasize mental wellness, not mental illness, Alex-ander said. The existing resources for treating mental illness are abun-dant at Penn, but almost all of Penns new initiatives are aimed at keep-ing people healthy, with a focus on making it a community responsi-bility to help with stress reduction,

    building support networks and recognizing those who might be in trouble.

    According to Victor Schwartz, a doctor from the Task Forces partner, the Jed Foundation, Penn is taking the right steps by using its resources mostly to prevent rather than treat mental illness after students get to the point of suicide.

    Meanwhile, some students still dont believe the University targets the source of mental illness.

    Theyre treating the effects and not the causes of depression at this school, said one of Hollerans two friends who remained anonymous. They find a cultural rather than structural change is needed, but the culture will not change unless the structure does.

    On Friday, two rappers came to Penn to prove that Iggy Azalea isnt the only non-stereotypical hip hop artist.

    In honor of the Lunar New Year, the Asian Pacific Stu-dent Coalition and Korean Student Association hosted a concert headlined by two of the most well known names in Asian-American rap at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.

    Awkwafina is a half-Chi-nese, half-Korean rapper from New York City. Her real name is Nora, and she performed songs including Fresh Water Salmon, Marijuana, Day-dreaming and Queef. Shortly after Awkwafinas performance, Dumbfoundead closed the show. His real name is Parker and is a male Ko-rean-American rapper from Los Angeles. He performed a medley of his songs from the past eight years of his career including Are We There Yet?, Genghis Khan and Korean Jesus.

    College sophomore and Vice Chair of External Affairs of APSC Sarah Cho organized the event in collaboration with the KSA and the Penn Con-sortium of Undergraduate Women.

    It is about celebrating and recognizing Asian culture. A lot of [Asian Pacific Islander] artists do not get recognized, she said.

    Both Dumbfoundead and Awkwafina are known as ex-tremely popular in the Asian community at Penn. Their recognition spurred a lot of hype on campus and drew in a roaring flood of audience members.

    We turn on the TV and turn on the radio, and we dont get many Asians represented. Its important because other ethnicities are represented; we are the last ones, Dumbfoun-dead said.

    Awkwafina agreed.Asian people make up

    a group that doesnt have a voice. There is much staunch racism, and Asians are still the butt of a lot of jokes, she said.

    This isnt Dumbfoun-deads first time on campus. Last year, he came to Penn to speak on Asian culture aware-ness. This time, Cho said she wanted to bring Dumb-foundead in for an authentic concert experience.

    I want people to know

    that there are also eccentric Asians, and that is the way we are on stage. Dumbfoundead added.

    Prior to their careers in the music industry, Dumb-foundead was a high school drop-out and Awkwafina was a publicist for a magazine. They found their voices in a unique medium, which the language society has grown to know as rap.

    Symbolic of something bigger; we dont have a voice in this country yet. Im not Iggy Azalea or Nicki Minaj, and I can never be that [with societys racial inequality]. What [Dumbfoundead] and I promote is an Asian face. We are Asian American. We need to make people understand the difference between Asians and Asian Americans, Awk-wafina said.

    This week, we, the undergraduates of Penn, face a his-toric decision. We see the first referendum in six years, and its on the is-sue of climate change. We must decide whether or not the student body should send a mandate to the University administration that invest-ment in fossil fuel companies is unacceptable. However, this demand is one we should not make it will harm us, Penn and the environmental movement. Voting to divest will cause far more harm than good.

    Penn Fossil Free, an off-shoot of the Go Fossil Free movement developed by radi-cal environmental group 350.org, has made strong argu-ments and engaged directly with the Penn community. Pe-ter Thachers guest column in Thursdays The Daily Penn-

    sylvanian is commendable for its strong emphasis on the dangers of climate change. He challenges Penn to take a stand on major issues and cites the dangers of not acting on the massive threat of glob-al warming. But the way we, the students of Penn, as well as the University itself should help fix climate change is not by divesting, but taking con-crete actions.

    Divestment is a finan-cial decision disguised as a moral stance. If fossil fuel companies were true finan-cial liabilities, as alleged by Fossil Free Penn, then Peter Ammon, Penns chief invest-ment officer, would drop them from our investment port-folio. Instead, divestment is significant because it means an organization in this case Penn is choosing to weaken its economic base in order to make a public point.

    Voting yes to the referendum means you, a Penn student, wish to see our financial en-dowment be limited, and po-tentially weaker. This is an endowment that funds new developments like Penn Park, our Financial Aid program or hiring our diverse faculty.

    Is taking such a moral stance worth it? Many would argue yes, it is wrong to make profits from such a dangerous and evil industry and, without brave individuals and groups making a statement, system-atic change cannot occur. Some argue that by taking our money out of companies such as ExxonMobil with a market cap of $377 billion and re-investing in renew-ables, we can help foster a new energy economy. How-ever, Penn has a $9.6 billion endowment that invests less than one percent in any single company, or alternatively,

    owns less than 0.02 percent of ExxonMobil selling will not change anything. Instead, we may want to buy more of ExxonMobil and collaborate with other universities in or-der to force changes to their behavior as large sharehold-ers. Simply selling our shares will hardly affect them at all.

    This divestment statement however will cause additional harm: it will deepen ideologi-cal divides on the environ-mental issue, when everyone Republican, Democrat, art student or engineer should agree that we must act swiftly and decisively to save our planet from further damage. Instead of trying to cause behavioral shifts through pu-nitive actions divestment, banning SUVs or making our houses colder during this in-fernal winter we should seek out less divisive, com-mon sense actions that ev-

    eryone agrees with. Incentiv-izing more fuel efficient cars, switching to more efficient light bulbs or replacing coal power plants with cleaner natural gas are ideas that everyone supports. No one is upset when we discover new research by professor Chris Murray that enables homeowners to have cheaper solar panels, or when profes-sors Daeyeon Lee, Kathleen Stebe and Shu Yang develop new membranes to clean up fracking water, or when the Alberta Energy Regulator (of Keystone XL/tar sands infa-my) hires a team of Penn law professors led by Cary Cogli-anese to find safer regulatory practices.

    Investing in research, economic development and education is invaluable and universally celebrated. Ban-ning SUVs or calling out fos-sil fuel companies however,

    causes fights.To save our planet, we

    must focus on actions that have an impact, instead of symbolic actions that feel good but have little real-world benefit. Divestment is one of those actions it sure feels good to demonize the fossil fuel industry, but our time and energy can be bet-ter spent enacting concrete changes that benefit everyone around the world. Climate change should be a unifying idea, a call to arms, but in-stead, actions like divestment keep it stagnating as an ideo-logical battle.

    What do expired yogurt and Penn have in common? The culture is toxic.

    After a whole year of psy-chiatric fieldwork and rumi-nation, Gutmanns task force just dropped its debut bedside short-read Report of the Task Force on Student Psychologi-cal Health and Welfare. The 8,000-word-long report high-lights what Bloomberg Busi-ness calls Penns pressure cooker environment in our shared inability to cope with imperfection, effecting an in-stitutional malaise across the student body. To be anything less than five-star is fatal.

    While the mental health problem is paramount, we must also realize that the anxiety against averageness is also limiting creativity.

    Instead of intuition, our choices are tempered and tampered by our fear of not succeeding. These metrics of success rarely arise from our own organic origins, and in-

    stead come from being envel-oped in Penns homogenous zones, which are aroused only by the touch of tradi-tional success. We are too afraid to bleed for our true desires. This stifling reaction puts a damper on the libido of experimentation with the distracting thoughts of fail-

    ure, and makes us too stiff to dabble in Pollockian sponta-neity. In short, Penn suffers from performance anxiety.

    We often forget that we are college students, that we are naive and that we still have some more time to de-velop.

    This privilege is recog-nized almost universally; both people and cops spare an extra degree of leniency to college students. To put it

    bluntly, students can get away with things only at this time of their life. And we need to use this chance to the fullest potential.

    Now, let me first be clear: I do not condone financial fraud, Wharton. I also do not condone murder except for certain terrorists and similar-

    ly bad people nor assault, rape, hate crimes or any simi-lar traumatic event. But it is not in my place to judge; Im an opinion columnist, not a legal ethicist.

    What I mean is to flout the mores that have marked your life, to leave your comfort zone and leave it far behind. Only at the borders can you stretch. From brief stints with new things, be it Leninism or lesbianism, college is a Rum-

    springa, an environment to experiment. Wharton, Nurs-ing and Engineering have more rigid requirements and invariably stiff schedules, so this may not apply as staunch-ly, sorry.

    The luxury of being a stu-dent is the clemency to com-mit risky behavior with the

    assurance that, ultimately, everything will be fine. Physi-cally, this may be realized as the ability to binge drink, but I mean noetically.

    The task forces report nebulously calls for cultural, not structural changes. To narrow down the Areciboian scope just a bit more, I be-lieve that Penn bureaucracy can do this by first affording its students more freedom to experiment.

    We can do this by loosen-ing the tight rigidity of aca-demics; many classes at Har-vard and Yale meet for only two hours per week, contra to Penns three, allowing for more time for extracurriculars and personal projects, such as start-ups like the Facebook. Browns open curriculum the lack of any course requirements makes it an intellectually free-range campus, and peckish students often find kernels of passion where theyd least expect it. A faculty committee at Princ-eton recently recommended kicking grading on the curve to the curb, finding it to inter-fere with psychological fac-tors and campus atmosphere.

    We also need to stop com-paring ourselves to other in-stitutions, and instead learn to appreciate our merits for their own. At Penn, most students are above average, warping expectations. This arms race fuels the cultural myopia that normalizes high-stress high-achieving as the baseline,

    leading to a sink or swim ul-timatum, where either choice is inevitably exhausting. We need to step back and appre-ciate the tranquility of life; for me, field trips into West Philadelphia have been medi-tative.

    Because at the end of the day, death is the great equal-izer.

    We often forget that we are college students, that we are naive and that we still have some more time to develop.

    Alexander commended the PennComm dispatchers, saying they have been doing a great job parceling out calls. They are very experienced talking to people who are in danger and who are upset, he said.

    Rush said the HELP line gives students in need a place to turn. It is not meant to replace the PennComm emergency number, nor is it meant to replace CAPS during the day, she said.

    In the midst of fraternity and sorority pledging season, some question the effective-ness of the methods used to bond new members together.

    Many friends share stories about forced heavy drinking and various acts of humilia-tion carried out behind closed doors during this time of year. All of this, supposedly, is for the sake of forging strong bonds within organizations.

    Pledging is effective to a certain point, and beyond that point it just becomes cruel and unnecessary, said one College freshman currently in the process of pledging an on-campus fraternity. One class gets through it all, and theyre so happy to be done with it that they have to watch somebody else go through it.

    Everyone always says that pledging is the best time you never want to have again.

    Psycholog y p rofessor Gordon Bermant, an initi-ated member of Phi Delta Theta at UCLA, contrasted fraternity pledging to mili-tary combat. He said that in combat, what people talk about is how others sacrificed for them. However, from his memory as a pledge, he said the process seeks to simulate a similar kind of adversity, but in fact creates a highly artificialized kind of playtime adversity.

    It doesnt create the reality of those who have suffered to-gether and come out the other end, Bermant said. Its not done in a way that people can consolidate and fight back or help each other in a time of great need.

    Psychology professor Coren Apicella explained that it is human nature to look out for one another.

    Bonding may be a mecha-nism that sustains cooperation between people after painful and negative events, she said.

    Our species biological success is largely attributed to our remarkable capacity to cooperate, Apicella added. The fact that natural disas-ters and other tragedies are rife with examples of selfless acts acts where people go to extraordinary lengths to help others in need is not surprising.

    However, the freshman pledge said pledging events supposedly designed to foster cooperation often have coun-terproductive motives.

    I dont think its that effective when people are in-dividually being forced to put the rest of the pledge class on their back, the pledge said. Obviously it works out well when that person does a par-ticularly good job at whatever the task is, but often theyre set up to fail.

    Before attending Penn, Wharton senior Katlyn Grasso googled the phrase female entrepreneurs and found few search results.

    Currently, women own 41 per-cent of all businesses, according to a recent CNBC article. How-ever, research shows that only 8 percent of women-led businesses gain professional investments, the article said. Given these numbers, its not hard to see why Grasso had a hard time finding a female business role model.

    I realized there were just so few women leading companies, so I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur, Grasso said.

    She launched GenHERation, a female empowerment network for high school girls, in March 2014 to instill confidence in young women wanting to pursue leadership positions.

    When I came to business school I saw that even though there were almost equal women, theyre just not starting compa-nies or leading companies at the same rates as men are, she said. At Wharton, 41 percent of the Class of 2018 is female. I de-cided whats really important is to address girls and make them confident in their leadership abilities when theyre young.

    GenHERation is a media outlet that connects young girls with the opportunity to work

    with national corporations and nonprofit organizations, rang-ing from the American Heart Association to ESPN-W, the branch of ESPN that covers womens sports. Every month, GenHERation partners with a different company or non-profit that will challenge girls to raise awareness about a social issue. Students from around the country can submit ideas to the GenHERation website, and the winner then works with the company or organization to im-plement her idea.

    Most recently, GenHeration and ESPN-W chose a young girl from the Philadelphia area to host a basketball game at her high school to raise awareness about the Womens Sports Foun-dation.

    GenHERation whose website launched March 1, 2014 additionally serves as an outlet for current events, tech talks, a financial literacy campaign and a Question and AnswHER section featuring other women entrepreneurs. Thus far, GenHERation has reached 10,000 people online.

    Grasso said that there is a perceptual leadership gap. If girls dont see a lot of women in powerful positions theyll sub-consciously think that they cant amount to that, and they fall victim to their own self doubt.

    Still, Grasso noted that the amount of women involved in entrepreneurship at Penn is growing. As a member of the Wharton Venture Initiation Program, Grasso interacts with other entrepreneurs on campus.

    VIP is an entrepreneurship educational program managed by Wharton Entrepreneurship that connects students with re-sources including mentors and a work space in Vance Hall.

    Managing Director of Whar-ton Entrepreneurship Clare Leinweber said there is no short-age of women in VIP, adding that it is a very vibrant, inclu-sive culture.

    Still, she would love to see more diversity in the program in general.

    We would love to see more [women] just like we would love to see more here from other schools [in the University], Leinweber said. We would like to see an increase in interest from students all across Penn in participating in our programs.

    Other female-led businesses whose founders were mem-bers of VIP include Black Box Denim, a custom jean company, and My Best Friends Weekend, a bachelorette party-planning company led by Wharton MBA students.

    Recent studies show the busi-ness world might be starting to tilt in favor of women in some areas.

    Wharton professor Ethan Mollick, together with professor Jason Greenberg at New York University, recently found that women were 13 percent more likely than men to meet their Kickstarter goals.

    Upon graduation, Grasso plans to expand GenHERation to encourage even more young women to start their own busi-nesses.

    A GenHERation of entrepreneurship rises at PennThe thought of live cockroaches

    at Commons was the most unset-tling for some. I will never set foot in Commons again, said College freshman Youssef Semlali Yacoubi . In my eyes, Commons did not meet the minimal standards I thought they had.

    The health and sanitary reports, however, have not coaxed many students to stop eating at the dining halls, particularly not at Commons. According to Bon Apptits data, there was a small increase in the number of diners served at Com-mons since UTB published the article, compared to the same time period last February. Bon Apptit de-clined to offer more specific statistics on the number of diners.

    Penn Dining manages 17 sepa-rate dining facilities that turn out slightly over 10,000 meals a day. We run a huge operation, yet for the past couple of years, we have always passed our health inspections on campus, resident district manager of Bon Apptit Stephen Scardina said. All of the dining halls, Scar-dina said, including Commons, have corrected any past violations cited by Philadelphias Office of Food Inspection. The live-roach violation from October was the only such vio-lation Commons had received since August 2011.

    Students who eat at Commons can

    now rest assured that their scoop of ice cream or breakfast platter will not contain an unwelcome friend.

    Just in the past week we had an inspection done for the 1920 Com-mons facility, and the technicians report came back negative there has been no recent activity in 1920 Commons, Scardina said. The cockroach infestation was cleared up immediately following the October inspection and has remained cleared up since, he said.

    The health and wellness of our students is paramount to everything that we do, Pam Lampitt, the di-rector of Business Services who oversees Penn Dining , said. We take the food safety and cleanliness of our buildings very seriously this is not something to take lightly. Food safety is our business.

    But Bon Apptit and Penn Dining depend on more than health inspec-tions to determine whether or not every dining facility is safe. We are assessing food safety all of the time, Lampitt said. We dont just start to respond after one Philadelphia health inspector that is not a prudent way to go about things.

    Bon Apptit has its own inspector regularly checking every operation without prior notice, but Bon Ap-ptit also hires additional help from outside Penn, such as Ecolab Pest Elimination . Depending on the size of a dining operation, a technician comes once or twice a week to in-spect each building and provide pest

    control.Bon Apptit also contracts with

    EcoSure, a company that comes in once a semester to assess the food safety of every Bon Apptit-run fa-cility on campus. Another thing we do is biweekly self-inspections, Scardina added. Different manag-ers go to a different operation from their own and do a self-inspection with fresh eyes.

    Penn Dining launched Student Ambassadors in the fall of 2014, a program that has turned a dozen Penn students into a fleet of under-cover dining facility inspectors. These student ambassadors are trained to inspect for proper food safety practices at dining facilities regularly.

    There are things that we can constantly control, and there are things like pest movement that we can only respond to, Lampitt said. We cannot control the construction or trash situations across the street which alter pest movement, but we do responsibly manage the response to pests. The construction of the Perry World House was a likely con-tributor to the cockroach infestation, she said.

    If a student has any type of con-cern at all in a dining facility, they should direct that concern to a man-ager on duty who will take care of it, Scardina said. If there is ever any type of sighting, we will contact Ecolab who will immediately send out a service technician.

    Students Organizing for Unity and Liberation held a Student Debt Demonstration this past Friday to protest Penns no-loan policy as part of their Ferguson Friday series.

    Throughout the day, students visited stations in the ARCH building and Houston Hall and wrote their level of indebtedness on a plaque, which they then wore around their necks for the rest of day. Other students participated via social media by posting pictures of themselves along with a plaque de-picting their accumulated debt.

    This is an issue of accessibility and equal opportunity. Who gets to participate in certain opportuni-ties that Penn has to offer is limited to ones socioeconomic status, SOUL wrote in a statement. Penn must revise its no-loan policy to truly support impoverished students to graduate from Penn without debt.

    SOUL believes this issue affects students all across campus.

    The issue of students no-loan policy isnt just a SOUL issue this is an undergraduate stu-dent, graduate student, all student issue, said College senior Breanna Moore, SOULs co-founder and chair .

    While SOUL is most well-known for its demonstrations regarding racial equality, it be-lieves that economic freedom is just as important.

    For a University to promise low-income students, who are

    mostly students of color, the option to go to this school and be able to graduate debt-free with a no-loan grant or scholarship aid package, this is something that must be ad-hered to, Moore said.

    Despite the Universitys no-loan policy, 36 percent of Penn under-graduate students take out loans, the third-highest rate among Ivy League universities. College of Liberal and Professional Studies students, who do not have a no-loan guarantee, often have it even worse.

    It is very important for people to understand the real story of what students are experienc-ing and how that differs from the

    no-loan policy, LPS junior Casey Bridgeford said. You have people moving across the country to come to school at Penn, and Ive heard there are people who only eat every other day because they have no food to eat while theyre at Penn.

    Fridays Student Debt Dem-onstration was SOULs first financial-focused Ferguson Friday event.

    There is no shame in us having or showing that we have loans, rather Penn should be ashamed for telling the world that it is accessible when many of the students of low-income backgrounds are forced to take out loans, SOUL wrote on their Facebook event page.

  • While it was not a f lawless regular season for Penn wres-tling in all facets, two wins on Saturday allowed the Quakers home faithful to end 2014-15 having seen nothing but wins the entire year.

    The Red and Blue defeated both Princeton and Drexel at the Palestra on Saturday to com-plete its home dual meet season with a perfect 6-0 record. The meets were the final duals for seniors Canaan Bethea, Geof-frey Bostany, Jeff Canfora, Anthony DiLonardo, Andrew Lenzi and Brad Wukie, all of whom were honored before taking the mat against the Tigers.

    We have a lot of people in that class that really care about the program, senior 149-pounder C.J. Cobb said.

    Wukie and Bethea could have graduated before the season but the duo took last semester off in order to retain their final year of eligibility before returning this winter. Bostany, whose wres-tling career was ended before last season by a concussion, stayed involved with the team as a student assistant coach with Penn (9-4).

    The Red and Blues seniors notched key victories in the two matches, including Wukies wins over Princeton junior Judd

    Ziegler in sudden victory and Drexel freshman Stephen Loi-seau in the 174-pound class.

    The Quakers other two senior wrestlers who competed on the day 141-pounder Can-fora and 157 -pounder Bethea both lost close matches against Princeton (9-9) but emerged victorious in their bouts against Drexel.

    Betheas loss to Princeton junior Abe Ayala ranked 12th in the weight class was espe-cially heartbreaking as it was his second 6-5 loss to the Tiger this season. However, Bethea dominated Drexel redshir t freshman Brandon Litten, 14-4, in his final home match with the program.

    On top of extending its per-fect mark at home this year, Penns victory against Princeton extended another streak. Satur-days win was the Quakers 24th consecutive victory against the Tigers, a run that dates back to 1992.

    Princetons a tough team, Cobb said. That was a tough match. It feels good to have bragging rights over them.

    Cobb was actually recruited by Princeton out of high school and considered attending there before ult imately choosing Penn.

    It just shows that I made the right decision, Cobb said while laughing.

    The Quakers only led the Tigers by four when freshman heavyweight Patrik Garren took the mat against sophomore Ray

    ODonnell. However, buoyed by a five-point first period, Garren took the match, 7-4, to seal Penns 19-12 victory.

    You really just have to get fired up for a match like that, Garren said of his win. Just go out and perform better than you usually do. Make sure we get the win over Princeton.

    After sophomore Jeremy Schwartzs loss in the 125-pound category to Drexel redshirt freshman Zack Fuentes, sophomore Caleb Richardson, ranked No. 18 in the 133-pound class, was unable to overcome Drexel redshir t sophomore Kevin Devoy.

    Devoy, who is ranked No. 15 in the category, held on for a 7-3 win to stake Drexel out to a 6-0 lead.

    However, the Quakers pulled together and only lost two more matches for the rest of the af-ternoon, winning by six, 21-15, after facing a six-point deficit early in the dual.

    By defeating the Dragons (8-14), the Quakers were able to hoist the Abners Cheesesteak Trophy, annually awarded to the winner of the Penn-Drexel meet, as the two are Philadelphias only two Division I wrestling programs.

    Its a lot of fun wrestling Drexel, Garren said. Obvi-ously, theres the Cheesesteak Trophy, which is always fun to have. The cheesesteak is a pretty big deal around here.

    Its definitely nice knowing were the best wrestling team in Philly, he concluded.

    And with the performances that Penn has put up in Philadel-phia this year, the Quakers have shown that to its home crowds this entire season.

    years 31-7 win at Franklin Field being one of only two victories in his last season at Penn.

    I think it definitely adds an emotional aspect to make the game very entertaining, very exciting, former Penn punter and 2013 College graduate Scott Lopano said. To be frank, Co-lumbia, they havent been very competitive against us in the past so it hasnt been the biggest rivalry, but this adds a totally different dynamic to it.

    Bagnoli could not be reached for comment when contacted by The Daily Pennsylvanian on Sunday.

    At the time of Mangurians resignation, Columbias athletic department was in the midst of a search for a new athletic direc-tor. Following the resignation of M. Diane Murphy in Septem-ber, the university hired former Villanova Associate Athletic Director Peter Pilling earlier this month to fill the vacancy created by Murphy.

    When he was hired, Pilling emphasized that his primary goal was to find a reputable coach that could put Columbia football in contention in the Ivy League.

    We need to hire a football coach, Pilling told the Spec-tator. Thats priority number one.

    While Bagnoli has been in his new position within Penn Athletics for only two months, it appears the 62-year-old was dis-satisfied with the less dynamic nature of a desk job.

    You can imagine after a long career of running a big football program and youre immersed in that and suddenly youre sitting behind a desk, Constantine said. It can be a great desk with great things to do, but it would be a life change, and Im not sure anyone fully understands what retirement is.

    Although Pilling established

    mid-March as his soft deadline for a new boss, he wasted no time in finding Mangurians replacement. A source close to the situation confirmed to The Daily Pennsylvanian late last week that it look[ed] like the move to Columbia will happen.

    I think he was ready to step down from 23 years at Penn, Constantine said. I dont think he envisioned sitting on his backside in retirement, although I dont think he saw coming back into coaching.

    Hes still a relatively young man. He has energy. He has passed along the baton at Penn.

    For the Lions, the hire repre-sents a clear desire to improve the state of their football pro-

    gram. During his time with the Quakers, Bagnoli twice won three Ivy titles over the span of four seasons with his final championship with the Red and Blue coming in 2012.

    Between 2001 and 2004, Bagnolis Penn squad put to-gether the longest winning streak in Ivy history, capturing 20 consecutive conference vic-tories. After 10 years at Union, Bagnoli led the Quakers to two undefeated title-winning seasons within his first three seasons.

    Its manna from heaven to have Al available and make an offer he couldnt refuse, Con-stantine said. I dont think Al sees it or [new Penn coach] Ray Priore or I see it as abandoning

    Penn. Its not like he quit the head coaching job to go to Har-vard, Yale or Princeton.

    Sources have informed the DP that Bagnoli is set to bring current Yale defensive coordi-nator Rick Flanders and Union head coach John Audino onto his staff. The reports have yet to be confirmed.

    Despite the programs suc-cess under Bagnoli over the past 23 seasons, Penn has struggled over the past two years, finish-ing a combined 6-14 since the 2012 Ivy championship. That included a nine-game losing streak that bridged the 2013 and 2014 seasons and a defense that allowed over 31 points six times in its past 10 games.

    You had a year to acclimate to the fact that coach Priore will be the one coaching, Holder said. I hope the guys in [Penns] locker room are to-tally behind him because he is a great coach and a better man, and hes going to do all he can to bring Penn football back where it was.

    To be in one place for 23 years, its somewhat unusual, but Ive loved it, and Id like to think weve had more good mo-ments than bad, Bagnoli said before his final home game against Harvard in Novem-ber. Were all caretakers to a program that is over 130 years old, and the seniors and I are happy to pass it on to the next guys who will get it all back on track.

    Although Bagnoli intended to enter the 2015 season as part of Penn Athletics, its clear that those close to him are support-ive of the decision.

    Al told me that Mary Ellen, his wife, said, Are you kidding me? Ill shoot you if you dont take it, Constantine said. I think its all good. I think Penn should applaud it from a league competitive standpoint and ap-plaud this next role for him.

    Theres no downside from [Penns] standpoint.

    WRESTLING | Quakers beat Princeton, DrexelSTEVEN JACOBSONSports Reporter

    Red and Blue take crown

    For the first time since 2011, the Ivy Classic came to the Palestra. For Penns gymnastics team, the home-coming was especially sweet, as the Quakers walked away from the afternoon of Ancient Eight competi-tion with their first title since 2012.

    Capturing the crown was no easy task for the Red and Blue, however. The team scores for all four teams Brown, Cornell, Penn and Yale remained close through competi-tion on uneven bars and beam.

    The highlight of Penns indi-vidual competition came on beam,

    where three Quakers finished on the podium. Senior Amanda Sch-laefer took second and sophomore Rachel Graham and freshman Emily Shugan tied for third, along with Browns Corey Holman, and Cornell gymnasts Joy Gage and Courtney Spitzer.

    Then, in the third rotation, Penn began to pull away from the field, recording a season-best 48.950 points on the floor. Freshman Megan Finck led the way for the Red and Blue, earning second-place honors.

    Despite the nearly one-point lead heading into the vault, Penn faced steep competition from Brown, who won the Ivy Classic both times in the two-year interim between Penns titles. Led by senior captain Wynne Levys first-place mark of 9.775 a career best for the vault specialist the Quakers racked up 48.400 points on vault, another season-best for the team.

    Penns vaulting performance was just enough to propel the team to the title, the 14th in school history, by only .300.

  • Penn basketball junior guard Tony Hicks was suspended by the program for last weekends Ivy doubleheader against Harvard and Dartmouth, Penn Athletics announced on Friday.

    The suspension came after the Quakers contest against Brown on Feb. 14. In that matchup, Hicks received a technical foul midway through the second half for a comment he made to an official. Fol-lowing the incident, coach Jerome Allen sat the team captain for the re-maining 6:22 of the Red and Blues eventual 71-55 loss.

    However, Hicks suspension ap-pears to stem from more than the technical foul itself.

    Tony did some things during and immediately following last Satur-days game against Brown that did not meet the standards of the Penn basketball program, Allen said. After reviewing the incidents earlier this week, I have decided to sit him for this weekends games.

    I have spoken to Tony and the team about the situation, and they will learn from this. We look forward

    to having him back on the court next weekend.

    This weekends suspension marks the third consecutive year in which Hicks has found himself barred from at least one of Penns games.

    In his freshman season, Hicks was suspended for the Quakers matchup with Delaware. After the suspension and Penns loss to the Blue Hens, a source confirmed that the suspension for Hicks and four others was the result of failed drug tests.

    Late in the 2013-14 campaign, Hicks was suspended again, this time in a game against Columbia on March 7. With seven minutes remaining, Hicks punched Lions then-junior guard Meiko Lyles in the jaw, received a flagrant-2 and was ejected from the game.

    Allen suspended the South Hol-land, Ill., native for Penns game the next night against Cornell before playing Hicks in the season finale against Princeton three days later.

    Hicks is the Quakers leading scorer in 2014-15, averaging 13.0 points per contest. Sophomore guard Matt Poplawski who played the remainder of the game against Brown after the junior was benched started both games over the week-end in Hicks absence.

    Despite the closeness of the opening frame, the Big Green seemed poised to break the game wide open after halftime. After the two squads traded buckets, Mitola scored eight consecutive points to give Dartmouth a 39-30 lead.

    Yet the Quakers charged back. A three by rookie Darnell Fore-man eventually knotted the score up once again, this time at 43. Jones then hit his third three of the contest to cap a 16-4 run for the Quakers, one that gave them a 46-43 lead.

    But after cutting their deficit to 55-53, Mitola hit a clutch three before Carpenter drew a foul on a floater to put the Big Green ahead for good. Mitola then canned consecutive buckets to cap off his night with 18 points and give Dart-mouth a 63-57 advantage en route to its eventual five-point win.

    The previous night, Wesley Saunders led the way for the Crimson (19-5, 9-1 Ivy) with a game-high 15 points while shoot-ing 77.8 percent from the field, and Steve Moundou-Missi added 14 points to go along with four offensive rebounds. The loss was the hundredth of Allens

    career at Penn as the weekend dropped his overall record to 63-101.

    With Hicks out of the lineup as a result of a two-game suspension, Poplawski took the junior captains spot in the starting lineup. An All-Ivy midfielder for Penn soccer, the Bellevue, Wash., native scored four points against Harvard before adding seven on Saturday night.

    Despite his excitement to find his way into the starting lineup, Poplawski noted the entire teams disappointment at the news of

    Hickss suspension.It was tough to hear. Hes

    the leader on our team, so we definitely wanted him with us, Poplawski said. But at the same time, he wants us to do well whether hes here or not regard-less of whos here, were going to try and play the same way every single game.

    Now sitting alone in last place in the Ancient Eight, the Red and Blue will next be in action on Friday when they travel to Provi-dence to take on Brown.

    For many years, Ivy League swimming has been just a three-horse race between Harvard, Princeton and Yale. But at this years Ivy Championship meet at Harvard, Penn womens swim-ming showed the rest of the league that it isnt far behind.

    The Red and Blue finished fourth overall with 952 total team points, the most the team has reg-istered at Ivies since 2008. This years finish was also the high-est by the Quakers since the team registered three consecutive fourth-place finishes at the Cham-pionships from 2009 to 2011.

    The thing that separates our team this year from the ones we have had the last few years is that all 20 girls we brought to the meet scored points, coach Mike Schnur said. In the past, we have usu-ally been carried by four or five girls who would score all of our points, but this year we had every last swimmer and diver contribute important finishes and that is phe-nomenal to see.

    Ironically, Penns only top finish of the three-day meet came in the first individual event on Thursday, when freshman Virginia Burns came out of nowhere to win the 500-yard freestyle event. Burns who entered Thursdays meet with a personal best time of 4:54.43 swam a 4:49.72 in the preliminary round, before dropping another four seconds to win the final in 4:45.67.

    With that race, Burns became only the seventh female swimmer

    in program history to be crowned an Ivy Champion.

    Watching Virginia race had to have been one of the most satisfy-ing moments Ive had as a coach, Schnur said. To see her drop almost 19 seconds from where she started this year and actually win an event that she still has really no experience in is a coachs dream.

    She really just set the tone for us on that first day and really got ev-eryon
