IVY. LEAGUE. CHAMPIONS.After a predicted sixth-place finish in the

Ivy preseason media poll, Penn football fin-ished its season with a 34-21 win over Cornell to claim a share of its 17th conference title. Dartmouth claimed a share of the Ancient Eight title with a 17-10 win over Princeton, while Harvard defeated for the ninth straight year, Yale, 38-19. It is the first time since 1982 three teams have shared the Ivy crown.

The Red and Blue (7-3, 6-1 Ivy) are Ivy League champions for the first time since the 2012 season, when the current seniors were freshmen. This is the first title in the Ray Priore era, as the first-year head coach has nav-igated his program back from one of its worst years in recent memory.

“It’s the most gritty team I’ve been around in my tenure here. I’m so proud of them, of what they’ve accomplished,” Priore said. “It’s hard to win, it’s hard to go out there week in and week out and for six straight weeks it’s been backs to the wall, must-win.”

Right out of the gate, it was apparent that this Penn team was energized and willing to take risks. The Quakers struck first, just two and a half minute in, on their opening drive with a five-play, 75-yard dr ive, capped by

Winter is a forecaster’s dream whether they dread or embrace the snow. The long, complex analysis required to understand the dynam-ics of winter climate is part of the fulfillment that comes with being a meteorologist. I’ve put hours of research into my forecast, creating an in-depth analysis of this year’s winter weather. Here’s a summary of my predictions.Temperature and snowfall

The accompanying graphic showcases my conclusions about snowfall and temperature output this coming winter. Overall, I think we will start off relatively warm and stormy (note that I didn’t say snowy), but transition to a much colder and snowier pattern. And given that some of the storms, especially towards the end of the winter season, could be relatively large, I expect TWO snow days for Penn students.

You have probably heard meteorologists talk about the many factors that are involved with making such a tough long-range forecast. The atmosphere is so intricate that if I were to discuss every single driver, it would turn into a research paper rather than an overview. Instead, I’ll go

Students have called for Penn to change the way that it addresses the issue of sexual violence on campus following sexual assault survey results that indicated is behind its peer schools in sexual violence awareness.

The findings of the Ameri-can Association of Universities’ Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Assault were released on Sept. 21, revealing that Penn students are disappointingly unaware of Penn’s resources and were less likely than their peers at other schools to bring issues forward.

According to the survey data, only 10.7 percent of

respondents knew Penn’s defi-nition of sexual assault, and only 12.6 percent knew where to make a report of sexual violence. Compared to peer institutions, students at Penn were relatively pessimistic about the University’s ability to handle complaints of sexual violence.

Students at Penn were also less likely than average to be-lieve that a victim of sexual violence would be supported by fellow students in making a report, that campus officials would take the report seriously or that the safety of the victim would be protected.

Two months later, the ad-ministration has taken various steps to tackle the issue, and students can expect a number of changes in the way that sexual violence will be ad-dressed on campus.

1. Mandatory freshman orientation modules for all undergraduates

In the coming months, the Thrive at Penn freshman ori-entation online module will be available to all undergraduate students. The program covers four topics: thriving at a re-search university, wellness and health, the risks associated with alcohol and other drugs and healthy relationships and sexual violence prevention. Though the University expects all students to complete the two-hour module over winter break, the University may re-quire students to complete it before registering for classes in future semesters if the partici-pation rate is too low.

2 . Revamped student surveys to address sexual vio-lence

Penn will revise its regular

student surveys to include questions about awareness of resources for students who have experienced sexual vio-lence. This spring, the Senior Survey will include these kinds of questions, some of which will overlap with questions that were asked on the AAU campus climate survey.

3. New campus groups and initiatives

Through the Office of the Vice Provost for University Life, Penn is beginning and expanding programs for edu-cating and preventing sexual violence. About a month ago, Penn Anti-Violence Educators — a peer group that focuses on teaching other students how to be active bystanders — held its first workshop. Students can find more updates and oppor-tunities on the Penn Violence Prevention website.

Do well by doing good.

Last Thursday, College fresh-man Natalie Breuel’s hands shook as she walked onto the stage at a black tie charity gala for the anti-gun violence Brady Campaign. Looking into the audience at the Brady Center’s “Bear Awards” guests, she saw the faces of Secre-tary of State Hillary Clinton, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, actor Paul Rudd and singer-song-writer Ingrid Michaelson among many others. She spoke about her own efforts to combat gun violence on Penn’s campus before introduc-ing Dan Gross, the president of the Brady Campaign.

Breuel was invited — along with her two co-founders, Col-lege freshmen Madeline Freeman and Calvary Rogers — by the

campaign to introduce Gross after senior campaign officials caught wind of a previous Daily Pennsyl-vanian article covering the launch of her Penn Against Gun Violence club. Breuel founded the first sin-gle-issue anti-gun violence club at Penn after the UCC shooting and the unnamed Philadelphia college online gun threats earlier this se-mester.

The Brady campaign has launched a college-campus focused project dubbed Generation Lock-down, where they are sponsoring anti-gun violence groups on col-lege campuses across the country. Breuel’s club has been sponsored by the Brady campaign since its founding through Regional Orga-nizing Manager Kimberly Russell.

In Breuel’s introduction at the gala, she spoke about the club’s mission, aiming to “make stu-dent voices heard and make sure no student has to choose between their education and their safety.”

The two-prong mission of the club is to bring awareness to the issue of gun violence within the Penn community and advocate for com-mon-sense gun legislation.

On speaking in front of the large gala audience, Breuel said, “I actu-ally love public speaking — I didn’t feel nervous when I was up there, and I felt so great afterwards.” She was able to network with many of the other anti-gun violence activists in attendance, which Breuel thinks will open up opportunities for speaker events and further growth for the club.

Clinton was honored at the rally for her leadership in fighting gun violence, receiving the Gover-nor Mario M. Cuomo Leadership Award. “There are people too dan-gerous to be let on airplanes, but Congress won’t stop them from getting guns,” Clinton said. “We can do this from the grassroots, and I believe we can do it from the top down.”

statement. “She is making her mark in the world of neu-roscience research as one of the most multi-talented young scholars in the United States.”

Hebert plans on working towards a master’s in psy-chology at Oxford.

“I’m planning on study-ing the influence of microbes in the guts on brain biology and their relevance to mental illness,” she said, explain-ing how recent research has found that certain bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract might influence the brain. Her senior honors thesis is focused on the effects of nicotine and stress on neural circuitry.

She plans on pursuing a career in psychiatric research and was drawn to Oxford be-cause of the “very innovative

approach” it is taking to the field.

“Generally psychiatric re-search is very brain-focused,” she said. “But [at Oxford] they’re looking beyond the brain and looking at other changes in the body and the effect that they may have on the brain.”

Obtaining this prestigious honor was no easy feat. More than 2,000 students applied for Rhodes Scholarships this year. First, Hebert had to apply for Penn’s endorsement for the scholarship.

After receiving that, she was among 12 students selected to interview for the two regional district spots. It was a 12-hour interview process at Haverford College.

“The questions are designed to challenge you,” Hebert said. “You’re supposed to struggle through each question that you’ve never come across before.

“It was a long day but it ended well,” she added.

How Penn Abroad handled the Paris attacks

When disaster struck in Paris last week, Penn Abroad went into emergency mode.

Last Friday, a series of coordi-nated terrorist attacks in central Paris left nearly 130 people dead — with the death toll still rising — and more than 300 injured. As the entire city was thrown into a state of emergency, study abroad programs in Paris responded ac-cordingly.

While at Penn, students have the comfort of knowing the city’s largest private police force is watching out for them, students do not always experi-ence the same level of security while studying abroad. Each se-mester, Penn Abroad prepares for handling the the possibility of students facing emergencies abroad.

Almost as soon as news of the attacks broke, a phone chain started in the Columbia in Paris at Reid Hall joint program, in which

19 Penn students are enrolled this semester. Administrators both on site and in New York spent hours calling all of the students en-rolled in the program. Posts were also made in the group’s Face-book page and an email was sent to students from the on-site Co-lumbia Director Lindsey Schram urging students to “please be in contact right away.”

Simultaneously, Penn students also received several email up-dates from International SOS, a partner program of Penn’s that is described on the Penn Abroad website as “the leading medical assistance, international health-care and security assistance company,” as the situation devel-oped.

“Local media late on 13 No-vember reported at least three security incidents in the capital Paris,” an email sent Nov. 13 at 11:26 p.m. Central European Time said. “The provenance of the blasts is unclear. Early reports claimed there were a number of casualties in the shootings, though this remains uncon-firmed. The situation remains

fluid and details are still emerg-ing.”

An email sent a few hours later encouraged travellers to “stand fast in secure location amid mul-tiple security incidents.”

Late at night on Nov. 13, Penn Director of International Risk Management Jaime Molyneux sent an email to all Penn students in France. “In light of the ongo-ing security events, attacks and hostage situation in Paris, I want to check-in and make sure that you are o.k. and not impacted by the situation,” it read. “I under-stand you may be far removed geographically from Paris but I am reaching out to all travel-ers in France in case you are on excursion in Paris,” the email continued before asking students to check in and confirm that they were safe.

The afternoon following the attacks, Penn Abroad Associate Director Rochelle Keesler, who oversees all study abroad pro-grams in France, sent an email to all Penn students reminding them of all on-campus resources avail-able to students while abroad,

including Counseling and Psy-chological Services and Student Intervention Services.

According to Penn Abroad’s website, “No one can guarantee or assure the safety of partici-pants or eliminate all risks from studying abroad. However, in order to make informed deci-sions and recommendations about the safety and security of our students abroad, Penn Abroad consults Penn’s faculty and ad-ministrative offices as well as external resources and local con-tacts/staff on site.”

Before going abroad, students are also encouraged to enroll in the U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveller Enrollment Program, also known as STEP, and are required to register with Penn’s Global Activities Reg-istry. While STEP functions independently of Penn Abroad, both programs connect travellers with relevant and up-to-date se-curity information.

Penn Abroad Director Nigel Cossar said that Penn Abroad’s safety precautions went into place immediately. “As soon as

Penn was alerted to the events unfolding in Paris, the Global In-cident Management Team came together with the primary pur-pose of ensuring the safety and security of Penn students, staff and faculty traveling in Paris. This is a mammoth task, made easier by Penn students who have registered their travel details on the Global Activity Register at Penn,” he wrote in an email.

Cossar also wrote that the GIMT remained on alert for the rest of the weekend and that they maintained communication with Penn students abroad and their emergency contacts. He added that meetings had been convened at Penn between “senior interna-tional and academic leadership” concerning what other resources could be provided to Penn stu-dents.

The following Monday, Cossar sent another email to Penn stu-dents in Paris. “Our thoughts remain with you and all those impacted by the tragic events in Paris over the weekend. Penn Abroad continues to work with university officials and partners

to monitor the security situation closely and your safety is our top priority in doing so,” the email read. “We have received no in-dications from our security experts that they recommend withdrawing students at this time. Guidance from our partner schools on the ground in Paris is similar,” it added.

In an email to the Daily Pennsylvanian, Cossar also ac-knowledged that Penn Abroad was providing on-campus sup-port to French nationals, saying that “International Student and Scholar Services along with Uni-versity Life have been working over the weekend to ensure all of the French community connected to Penn are provided with sup-port.”

“Whilst we are saddened by the most recent events in Paris, this will not deter the University in providing future study abroad opportunities to students. It is through these experiences that students garner the riches and understanding of cultures, races, languages and more,” Cossar’s email said.

THIS ISSUE

“The road to pow-er is paved with hypocrisy and

casualties,” Frank Under-wood says in season two of “House of Cards.” On the 2016 presidential campaign trail, many Republican can-didates are making this say-ing literally true.

Around the nation, many are still reeling from the recent terrorist attack on Paris, in which at least 128 people died. In the ensuing political dialogue, many have pointed out that one of the Paris bombers took advantage of a Syrian refu-gee passport. Many people — even at Penn — are now questioning President Barack Obama’s recent call to receive 10,000 refugees fleeing war-torn Syria.

Yet President Obama’s desire to help these refu-gees is understandable. The Syrian Civil War has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and has displaced around 12 million Syrians and made around four million into refugees, half of them children. Just like many of our ancestors, some of these refugees now look to the Statue of Lib-erty in hope of a better life.

Meanwhile, the Republi-

can presidential candidates have rejected the pleas for help. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson has demanded that Syrian refugees be kept out, saying “I’m not all that anxious to bring in a bunch of refugees from Syria who would likely be infiltrated with jihadists.” Even after the House of Representa-tives passed legislation slowing the admission of Syrian refugees, Senator Rand Paul has introduced legislation prohibiting them from receiving tax-payer-funded benefits. In-deed, no Republican presi-dential candidate is in favor of President Obama’s plan.

However, some Repub-licans are in favor of ad-mitting some refugees: the supposedly less threatening Christian ones. Senator Ted Cruz favors admitting Syr-ian Christian refugees, but argues it is “nothing short of lunacy” to allow Syrian Muslim refugees into the country. Both Cruz and Jeb Bush have suggested a reli-gious test for Syrian refu-gees that would only admit Christians.

In a way, the hesitancy to help refugees is ratio-nal. Many governors and legislators from both par-

ties don’t want to endanger American lives for the sake of foreigners. Even though the federal government employs thorough vetting procedures and it’s unlike-ly the Islamic State would plant terrorists among the refugees, an unwillingness to risk American lives for the sake of foreign ones is understandable. Yet I have trouble believing this to be the rationale of the Repub-lican candidates.

These are the same can-didates that have tripped over each other during re-

cent debates to say that America must lead the world in addressing foreign problems. Governor John Kasich said, “We should be there, including boots on the ground … You can’t solve anything just with air power.” Jeb Bush wants the United States to declare

war on the Islamic State.Donald Trump advocates

a more refined approach, saying “I would just bomb those suckers. That’s right. I’d blow up the pipes; I’d blow up the refineries, every single inch. There would be nothing left.”

All this Republican rhet-oric reeks of hypocrisy. These candidates oppose helping desperate refugees fleeing savage barbarians on the grounds that they will threaten American lives, but then want to sac-rifice American blood and

treasure by invading Syria? These candidates insist on American global leader-ship, but then avert their eyes when the world is cry-ing out for our help? It’s hypocrisy, and it exposes something even nastier in some of these candidates: Islamophobia.

After the Paris attack, Governor Mike Huckabee exhorted Americans on Fox News to “wake up and smell the falafel.” Ben Car-son compared the refugees to “rabid dog[s].” Besides calling for a registry of Muslims in America, Don-ald Trump said he would “strongly consider” shut-ting down mosques. Ironi-cally, he said, “Some of the absolute hatred is coming from these areas … The ha-tred is beyond belief. The hatred is greater than any-body understands.”

Indeed, the hatred is greater than many under-stand. Islamophobia is significant in America, as reflected by recent polling which shows around 40 per-cent of Americans would not vote for a well-qualified Muslim presidential candi-date. Reflecting this preju-

dice, Ben Carson recently said, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”

The rhetoric from the GOP presidential candi-dates is, to quote President Obama, “shameful” and “un-American.” A certain amount of hypocrisy is to be expected in politics. However, I hope the voters will reject this particularly egregious stance.

If the Republicans don’t change course, they won’t just be hypocrites. They might also have blood on their hands.

All of us probably feel that we know what it means to

have humility. Yet, espe-cially in the context of the Ivy League, this particular virtue is underrated. Even Benjamin Franklin seemed a little uncertain of its im-portance. The 13th virtue was not included on his original list until a friend pulled him aside and gen-tly suggested that he should add it for his own good. Even so, his explanation of how to act out humil-ity is simply “Imitate Jesus and Socrates” — as though that were a simple task. It seems as though Frank-lin did not give this virtue much thought; perhaps he just jotted this sentence down because it sounded lofty. However, humility is important for a reason that goes far beyond reflecting well on our own characters.

This virtue is linked to the ability to be both non-judgmental and open-minded, neither of which Franklin explicitly states

on his list. Many of us pay lip service to the idea that we should be humble and resist the urge to jump to judgments of others. Yet in practice, to actually go through even a day without making any judgments is extraordinarily difficult. It is a natural propensity for human beings to want to find patterns in their obser-vations and make conclu-sions based on those per-ceived patterns.

For example, many of us have passing thoughts about the bodies and appearances of others as we go about our daily lives, probably because a person’s appear-ance is what stands out to us when we see them walk across the street or sit down at the table next to us in a cafe. We think that the per-son in question is too thin, too heavy, too dirty, too scraggly, too glitzy, too conservative, too liberal and so on — the list goes on.

We also frequently judge the speaking habits of those

around us, again because this characteristic is directly observable. We might think that the group of friends sitting across from us on the subway are chatting about superficial and mind-

numbing topics, or that the cohort of co-workers grab-bing lunch together are pre-tentiously showcasing their knowledge to one another.

In each of these cases, our “harmless” thoughts intersect with important is-sues like body image, iden-tity politics and judgments of value and character. Thinking about any of these in depth has the potential to yield insights into the as-sumptions we make under-

lying our judgments, what those assumptions reflect about ourselves and wheth-er or not they are truly mer-ited from perspectives of reason, compassion and so on. Yet rather than critical-

ly examine these thoughts, too often we never address them, letting them sink back into the recesses of our minds as easily as they popped forth.

On the other hand, if we all internalized a form of humility in which we con-stantly kept in mind the limitations of our own sub-jective experiences and the near-impossibility of being able to understand another’s life enough to confidently

pass judgment on them, such thoughtless critiques might all but disappear. I tried, and failed, to keep such thoughts from pass-ing through my mind for a week. Like so many of the other virtues I have written about, to embody humility in our interactions with oth-ers requires cultivation and practice.

Perhaps this virtue actu-ally reflects the greatest shortcoming of all for the applicability of Franklin’s list of thirteen virtues to the modern world. He treats “humility” as an after-thought, failing to see that in cultivating that virtue lies the potential for a world where everybody is open to the thoughts and experienc-es of everybody else. Fur-thermore, none of his other virtues point to the benefit of open-mindedness or be-ing non-judgmental either — a glaring gap in a list that purports to tell us which virtues are best for culti-vating healthy and engaged communities of people.

Even today, in some form or another, most would re-ject the idea of uncritical open-mindedness. Yet with the kinds of conflicts our world encounters all the time, it is increasingly evi-dent that such a willingness to practice uncritical open-mindedness alongside our usual tools of argumenta-tion is sorely needed in all of us.

lETTEr TO THE EDITOr

Last week, The Daily Pennsylvanian published a four-part series on main-tenance requests and the relationship between FRES staff and management.

I have been employed with the University and Facilities and Real Estate Services for over 39 years,

and my father was employed by Facili-ties prior to me for over 20 years. I have been a union official with the Interna-tional Union of Operating Engineers Local 835 for 26 years, I presently serve on the union Executive Board, and I have been Chief Shop Steward on campus for six years. I am also a proud Penn parent, having been fortu-nate enough to have two of my children graduate from the university via the tu-ition benefit provided by Penn.

I want to clarify the relationship be-tween our union and the management team at Facilities. In our world, union and management often do not agree on all issues related to the workplace. However, together management and union are committed to an open dia-logue designed to identify and resolve issues both through informal meth-

ods and through formal procedures outlined in our collective bargaining agreement. These procedures have been mutually negotiated and provide a formal forum to bring both sides to-gether to attempt to resolve issues in a professional manner. FRES and union leadership may not always agree, but we work collaboratively to address concerns that affect the university com-munity. I, along with our union leader-ship, encourage staff to exercise their rights and use the processes provided by the collective bargaining agreement to resolve any issues between staff and management. As the leader of Local 835 here on campus, our union’s goals are similar to that of FRES, which is to provide the best service possible to our Penn students, faculty, staff and others. Lastly, I believe in mutual respect, and I feel assured throughout all of my years at Penn and as a union leader that both FRES and Local 835 have that type of respect for one another.

Wondering why there were chil-dren roaming campus last week?

On Friday, the Undergradu-ate Assembly hosted College Day, during which 34 eighth grade students from Henry C. Lea Elementary School in West Phila-delphia had the opportunity to come to Penn and learn more about life at college. The event was headed up by the UA’s Social Justice Committee.

The morning was comprised of a brief introduction given by Assis-tant Vice President of Community Relations Glenn Bryan, followed by a panel with 2014 College graduate Marcus Mundy and College senior Gina Dukes. After the panel, Lea students took a tour of campus, stopping at the Perelman Quadran-gle, the Engineering Quad, Van Pelt Library, College Hall, the Quadran-gle and Locust Walk.

“The best part about this is that you are middle school students. You have an edge on this,” Bryan, a West

Philadelphia native, said, stressing the importance of taking initiative as early as possible in the college application process.

The panelists introduced them-selves and gave some background about their studies and extracurric-ulars at Penn, and then they opened the floor up to questions from the eighth graders.

“It’s a huge jump to go from high school to college, even in the same city,” Mundy said.

The two panelists discussed how they ended up at Penn and what it’s like going to an Ivy League institution located in an urban envi-ronment.

“If I wanted to go far and do what I cared about, I needed to go to college,” Dukes said. “Don’t sell yourself short and say you can’t go here.”

After the panel, students broke out for a tour led by the Kite and Key Society, followed by lunch at 1920 Commons. Then, they re-turned to Huntsman Hall for a mock Management 100 class.

The idea of a mock class origi-nated at last year’s College Day, UA Social Justice committee member

and College sophomore Sola Park said, and they brought it back this year with some changes. 30 Man-agement 100 teaching assistants led three different activities, one focusing on negotiation, another on impromptu speaking and the third called “group sculpture,” during which students worked together to represent an object such as a ship or car.

“Having the three different inter-active activities, the students were more engaged this year than last year,” Park said.

Out of all the day’s activities, UA members determined that the panel was the most well-received portion of the day based on the feedback they got from the stu-dents.

“The panel really underscores the purpose of the day,” UA Social Justice Committee member and College senior Abel McDaniels said. “We had the realization to not just give the kids a chance to hang out on a college campus for the day, but also to start the more long-term conversation about higher education and access to college in general.”

Because the panelists come from West Philadelphia and have gone to some of the same schools as these students, McDaniels believes that

this portion of the day was the most effective.

“The panel gave the kids an op-portunity to see students who went

to the same schools as them and are from the same communities as them and follow the path they took to get to Penn,” McDaniels said.

Tycoon, hair stylist, show stop-per: Presidential candidate Donald Trump has staked multiple new claims to fame since launching his presidential campaign. Now he hopes to cast himself in another role: family man.

Trump and his family recently sat down with ABC News’ Barbara Walters for a televised interview on prime time news program “20/20.” The hour-long broad-cast aired Friday evening and included a seven-minute segment with Trump’s four adult children,

Wharton graduates Donald Jr. and Ivanka, Eric, and notably, second daughter Tiffany.

Tiffany Trump, a current College senior, is arguably the least-known of the four. The only child of her father’s short-lived second marriage, Tiffany left New York when she was 5 after her par-ents divorced. While The Donald’s children with first wife Ivana grew up directly in their father’s ever-soaring shadow, Tiffany lived a considerably quieter life in Los Angeles with her mother, former actress Marla Maples.

Unlike her older half-siblings, Tiffany has never starred on “The Apprentice,” her father’s reality TV show, nor is she anywhere as active in the New York social scene. In

fact, Friday’s interview was the first time many had seen the younger Trump daughter take as prominent a place in the spotlight as Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump.

Nevertheless, the interview revealed that The Donald main-tained a relationship with his younger daughter. Despite popu-lar belief, Tiffany has more in common with her Trump half-siblings than many people think. She is close to her father, and like her half-siblings, is proud to carry his name.

“I’m so happy to be Tiffany Trump,” she said on the program. “I’m so happy to be in the family that I’m in, with my siblings and my father.”

Walters herself noticed a level

of genuine affection that all four Trump siblings shared for each other and for their father.

During the interview, Tiffany reaffirmed Donald, Jr. and Ivanka’s statements that their father readily made time for them during their childhoods. All of the siblings believe that they got important el-ements of their own personalities from being around and watching their father. Tiffany remembered times when her father took her to grab candy bars while she played in his office.

“He is much more devoted and spends more time with them, even though it’s limited, than you could imagine,” Walters said Friday morning on “The View.”

When Walters asked if their

father’s controversial remarks made them cringe, all four children unequivocally answered no, ex-plaining that his speaking style is just a part of who he is as a person.

“He’s true to himself, and he speaks in a way that the average person can understand,” Tiffany Trump said. “I think that’s refresh-ing for everyone.”

The rest of the the interview included the elder Trumps’ expe-riences in the family business and the work ethic that Donald Trump instilled in them from childhood. Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric are all executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization, and have taken increasingly active roles in running the company in recent months.

As for Tiffany’s future, she has been accompanying her father on his presidential campaign and has increasingly established herself as a serious fixture in the New York social network. Eventually, she plans to go to law school. Some predict that she will follow in the footsteps of her philanthropist/so-cialite half-sister Ivanka.

The Donald has already publicly bragged about his younger daugh-ter’s potential, citing her A-average and successful time at Penn.

“People try to portray her as a party girl,” society journalist Carson Griffith wrote in the Sep-tember issue of DuJour magazine. “But from what I saw that weekend, she was a very studious girl who seemed serious about her future.”

To cap off Unity Week with a strong finish, the United Mi-norities Council at Penn hosted Pulitzer Prize-winning and crit-ically-acclaimed author Junot Diaz. His talk was the culmi-nation of a week-long series of events that aimed to start discus-sion about the various political happenings of the world as well as to foster a sense of unity be-tween all groups on campus.

In addition to Diaz’s talk,

the UMC held a different event every night this past week to celebrate Unity Week in the Penn community. Unity Week had a kick-off event on Nov. 12 called “Demystify Me,” a photo campaign which shed light on stereotypes associated with vari-ous groups of Penn students.

Beginning Monday, the club held a “Mural & Munchies” event to create a mural portraying the themes of the week. It then held a “Penn in Philly” discussion to discuss how Penn’s relationship could be strengthened with West Philadelphia. Wednesday marked the screening of “Waste Land,” a documentary about the men and

women on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which hosts one of the largest “waste lands” in the world. In collaboration with The Race Dialogue Project and Penn Monologues, the UMC also held an open mic night to talk about race and other issues.

The whole week culminated with a discussion with Diaz, an immigrant author who won a Pu-litzer Prize for Fiction in 2008 for “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” and is known for being a 2012 MacArthur Fellow.

The discussion with Diaz im-mediately began on an open note, as Diaz asked the audience where they were from, engaging many people in conversation about their hometowns. Diaz himself is from the Dominican Republic, where he lived for the early years of his childhood before immi-grating to New Jersey.

Having earned a degree in English from Rutgers Univer-sity, Diaz had been immersed in reading and writing from a young age, propelling him to-wards the arts. However, as Diaz mentioned during his talk, he be-lieves that the arts have become

more commercialized since he was studying them, which has made life harder for the artists. “Professionalization of art has gone hand in hand with extrac-tion of money,” he said, meaning that the more commercial art becomes, the more artists are ex-ploited.

Diaz also talked about the idea of conformity and staying within the lines, acknowledging

that both were foreign concepts to him. However, Diaz acknowl-edged that in certain situations and roles, such as his role as a creative writing professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-nology, it is important to dedicate ourself to our job and give ourself completely to ensuring our own success, as well as that of others. However, Diaz added that “you can do it with your own style.”

But if people question it — “If you’re wearing a column on your head, but you’re the best me-chanic in the shop, the fact that you’re wearing a column on your head is other people’s problem, not yours. You’re still the best mechanic,” he said said.

Another strand of the conver-sation focused on being a student at Ivy League or other selec-tive universities and the unique mindset that accompanies that position.

“My students are in the top 1 percent of all students, yet the biggest thing they feel is fear,” Diaz said. His contention was that that students at schools like Penn and MIT go through college too scared and too worried about the future.

“They’re always asking them-selves: Did I pick the wrong major? The wrong school? Am I going to be broke because I didn’t into graduate school five minutes after I graduated undergrad?”

Diaz’s overarching message to the Penn community was to let these fears slide. As he asked, “Have you ever made a good de-cision afraid?”

over what I think are the most important pieces to the puzzle.Factors affecting the forecast

1. El Nino is near record territory, but it is forecast to weaken to a moderate stage. If El Nino does not weaken as expected, there could be an influx of warmer air from the Pacific. This could lead to less snowfall.

2. Although it’s hard to forecast these factors more than a few weeks in advance, Pacific and Atlantic Sea Sur-face Temperature anomalies point towards the building of a -AO/-NAO/-EPO. If the NAO does not go negative, this may cause problems for our winter pattern especially in the later months when things should be more favorable for snow.

3. Siberian snow cover has picked up and computer models show this continuing into the first half of Decem-ber. This will help enhance the chances of getting a -AO this winter.

4. The first month or so of winter will feature above-normal temperatures and more rain than snow. As the pat-tern shifts, we’ll enter a colder

pattern with increased snow threats after Christmas. The brunt of winter may not come until late January/early February. But if December is much colder and snowier than expected, we could see a lot more snow than anticipated.

Mixed results for Red and Blue in tri-meet

“Unfortunately you don’t get to play defense in swimming.”

That was how coach Mike Schnur described Penn’s tri-meet against Cornell and Princeton this weekend. While the Quak-ers were able to record some impressive times on Saturday and were easily able to handle the Big Red, the Tigers were just too fast, handing both the men’s and women’s squads their first defeats of the season.

For the women, a 200-100 vic-tory over Cornell was offset by a 134-164 loss to Princeton, while the men notched a 217-83 win to go along with a 173.5-124.5 defeat.

On the women’s side, Penn started the meet off hot by regis-tering its first victory of the day in the opening event, the 200-yard medley relay.

The duo of freshmen Libby

Jardeleza and Carter Orth combined with juniors Haley Wickham and Rochelle Dong to post a time of 1:43.23 and set a tone of early success for the Quakers.

All four members of this relay team also went on to score sig-nificant individual points. Orth claimed the top time in 200 in-dividual medley with 2:05.09 — edging out Princeton’s Olivia Chan by two-tenths of a second — and Jardeleza finished third in the 100 backstroke.

Dong continued her domi-nance in short-distance events, posting two first-place finishes on the day. Her times of 55.82 in the 100 back and 55.08 in the 100 butterfly were both good enough for a top spot on the podium.

Wickham touched up first in the 100 breaststroke in 1:03.21 before claiming the 200 breast with a time of 2:19.51.

Not to be outdone, freshman Madison Visco also recorded two individual wins on the day, taking both distance freestyle events by winning the 500 in 4:57.3 and finishing the 1,000 in

10:14.22.“I think we were just abso-

lutely awesome on the women’s side today, and I think we had several girls who had break-out days,” Schnur said. “Haley Wickham went faster today than she was at the Ivy championship meet last year, and Visco abso-lutely crushed it in an event she had never swam before. So that

was incredible to see.”While the men fell short of

Princeton just like their female counterparts, they too had some impressive performances.

Eric Schultz added another victory to his lengthy resume, as the senior took first in the 50 freestyle with a time of 20.40 while also picking up points with a second-place finish in the 100

free.“I was worried that we were

going to be tired coming into this race, but I was impressed with some of the absolutely great swims we had,” Schnur said. “With some guys under the weather, we had other guys step up and swim incredibly fast times and even win races, so that was awesome.”

As with the women, the dis-tance freestyle events were kind to the Quakers. Sophomore Alex Peterson finished second in the 500 with a time of 4:31.69, before doing one better and win-ning the 1,000 free.

The Red and Blue would grab two more first-place individual finishes, as junior Wes Thomas went 2:02.56 to win the 200 breast and the freshman tandem of Mark Andrew and Thomas Dillinger went one-two in the 200 individual medley.

The men capped the day with a victory in the 400 freestyle relay, as Dillinger and Schultz, combined with juniors Kevin Su and Michael Wen, posted a commanding final victory over

Cornell by 3.47 seconds in a time of 3:01.70.

Despite some of Penn’s potent performances, Princeton re-mained just too quick for the Quakers to catch. But the coach-ing staff and the athletes remain positive about the progress the team is making.

“Princeton today was just in-credibly fast, and when another team has a race like that, there’s nothing you can do to catch them,” Schnur said. “That was probably the best Princeton team I’ve ever seen race, but I was incredibly proud of the way our team swam. If we keep having races like that going forward, we will be more than fine.”

While the team’s next Ivy competition is not for another seven weeks, the Quakers do have their second-biggest meet of the season coming up at the Kenyon Invitational on Dec. 3. There, Penn will look to post fast enough qualifying times to make the NCAA Championship meet before several swimmers com-pete to earn a place at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

a six-yard touchdown run from junior running back Brian Schoe-nauer.

While Penn would fail to score on the two-point conversion, they would take a 6-0 lead that the Quakers would never relinquish. On Cornell’s first offensive play of the game, Penn’s defense pres-sured Big Red quarterback Robert Somborn into an off-balance throw that sophomore linebacker Bran-don Mills was able to intercept.

Five quick plays later, senior wide receiver Eric Fiore threw a 14-yard score to fellow senior tight

end Ryan O’Malley on a trick play to give the Quakers a 13-point lead just five minutes into the game.

“Failure was not an option this week. That’s how these kids took in this week,” Priore said. “I thought it was one of our best weeks of practice. So focused yesterday in walkthrough, this morning you couldn’t hear a pin drop.”

A Cornell three-and-out. An-other Penn score, this time a pass from junior quarterback Alek Torgersen to sophomore wide re-ceiver Justin Watson and, by the end of the first quarter, the Quak-ers held a 20-point lead.

Watson was once again one of

the offensive highlights for the Red and Blue. The sophomore wide re-ceiver surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the year in his seventh 100-yard game of the season.

The Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year typically ends up in the hands of a running back or quarterback, but Watson has made a legitimate case to be the first wide receiver to win the award since Brown receiver Buddy Farn-ham in 2009. The sophomore led the Ivy League with 108.2 receiv-ing yards per game to go along with over 100 yards on the ground and 10 total touchdowns.

“It was coach [John] Reagan putting me in really good

situations, he’d see something in the defense for me to take advantage of,” Watson said. “[Torgersen’s] done a great job of reading out the defense and not trying to force anything and find-ing me in good spots.”

While Cornell would attempt to battle back after falling behind in the first quarter, the Big Red were unable to consistently finish drives against a Penn defense that has held strong repeatedly this year. Cornell outgained the Quakers 490-373 on the game, but threw a pair of interceptions and were forced to punt at the end of a hand-ful of longer drives.

Penn’s offense and defense

weren’t the only important aspects to the game though, as one of the biggest plays of the game came from kick returner Lonnie Tuff. After Cornell scored to bring the score to 20-7 in the second quar-ter, Tuff took the ensuing kickoff back 92 yards, reversing field mas-terfully, to set up a short field for Penn.

Torgersen took advantage of that short field, running in from three yards out, and the Quak-ers never looked back. The junior quarterback added 195 yards and two passing touchdowns, both to Watson, to a performance that also saw him throw his first and only Ancient Eight interception of the

year. Torgersen finished the season with 19 passing touchdowns to just three interceptions and just under 2,000 yards.

For Penn’s seniors, this was the second title during their tenures and an excellent way to cap off an emotional season. The Quak-ers started the season 1-3, but had beaten then-No. 13 Villanova, when they traveled to Columbia for the first game of their season-ending, six-game winning streak.

“It’s surreal. I don’t know if it’s really hit me yet,” O’Malley said. “I was trying to take it all in on the field. To come out with two cham-pionships is special, not a lot of people even get one.”

Quakers drubbed by dominant Huskies on road

While Penn football was clinch-ing its Ivy League title on Saturday afternoon, the Red and Blue’s bas-ketball team was in Seattle, facing off against Washington.

And although Ray Priore’s squad managed to secure the 17th title in program history with a win at Franklin Field, Steve Donahue’s Quakers did not find nearly the same success on the West Coast, suffering their first loss of the season in a 104-67 drubbing at the

hands of the Huskies at Alaska Air-lines Arena.

The Red and Blue (3-1) got off to a rough start on both ends of the floor and struggled to get back on track for the rest of the contest. They quickly found themselves down 16-0 before sophomore forward Mike Auger finally stopped the bleeding with a basket just prior to the first media timeout.

Penn was able to keep the game close for the majority of the first half despite shooting poorly, especially from beyond the three-point arc. By the break, however, the Quakers found themselves down, 54-30.

Most frustrating for Penn was that its offensive struggles did not arise from a lack of opportunities

against the Huskies (3-0). The Red and Blue were able to produce open looks for the majority of the game, but the team simply failed to knock down shots.

“After the game, I told them I thought we did a lot of really good things,” coach Donahue said. “We had wide open shots, and we didn’t make them and then went 5-for-10 from the [free-throw] line in the first half.”

Washington’s press man-to-man defense also seemed to bother the Quakers at times, leading to six first-half turnovers. Even after the break, the Huskies continued to press and kept most of their starters on the floor late into the second half with the lead extending to 40 points

at times.Along with discomfort stemming

from Washington’s defensive game plan, poor shooting continued to be the main concern for the Red and Blue on Saturday. Despite the fact that Penn won its first three games for the first time since the 1981-82 season, shooting has been an issue for the Quakers in their first four games.

“We have not shot the ball well from three all year,” Donahue said. “Today was a totally different day. We have been playing against zone, but today we played against man. For most of it we did a good job.

“We got to the foul line, didn’t just settle for shots. We’ve made good plays, finished at the rim,

gotten to the foul line, but we haven’t made outside shots and foul shots.”

Senior center Darien Nelson-Henry scored 13 points, the fourth time in as many games he has broken 10-plus points in 2015-16. Junior Matt Howard was Penn’s only other player with double fig-ures, notching 10 points on 4-for-10 shooting.

But the Quakers struggled shoot-ing the ball throughout the entire game, making only 32 percent of their shots and converting only six of 28 three-point attempts. Despite the futility, Donahue is not too wor-ried about his squad’s performance.

“[Washington] is tough competi-tion,” he said. “We’ll learn from it

and get better from it. There are a lot of positives from it. We got to the foul line 31 times. I thought we ran good offensive sets and got open shots for most of the game.”

For the Quakers, the lessons from a tough loss to a team of Washing-ton’s caliber may be more important than the actual result.

“It’s another step in the matura-tion,” Donahue noted. “We must learn how to get out of adverse situations and stay poised and con-fident.”

Going forward, a loss like this could be useful for the Red and Blue. They’ll have a chance to im-prove on Wednesday when they take on an undefeated La Salle team at the Palestra.

Penn picks up three titles in Palestra’s Keystone Classic

The saying in wrestling may go “sweep the legs,” but the grappling that took place at Sunday’s Key-stone Classic left onlookers’ legs rooted to the spot in suspense.

But the annual tournament, which featured 11 teams and lasted over 10 hours at the Pales-tra, did not go quite according to plan for Penn, as many Red and Blue wrestlers left the Palestra frustrated with how they had per-formed.

“I think a lot of the guys would have hoped to have done better today,” senior All-American grap-pler C.J. Cobb said. “But it’s just one tournament, and people know what they have to work on.”

Coach Alex Tirapelle agreed that some wrestlers may have un-derperformed, but also noted that the frustration stems from the

lofty goals the players have set.“Of course the guys want to

do better, but they always want to do better,” Tirapelle said. “They all have high expectations. It’s a healthy thing for the program.”

For a couple of Penn’s top grapplers, the Keystone Classic brought the usual success. Both Cobb and Lorenzo Thomas, na-tionally ranked at seventh and 11th in their respective weight classes, earned hard-fought champion-ships as the day drew to a close.

For Cobb, the 149-pound weight class title may have been expected, but the route he took to earn it cer-tainly was not. As Cobb himself admitted, the tournament started slow for the wrestler from Wil-liamstown, N.J. After squeaking out a 2-1 victory in the first round, Cobb found himself down 8-1 in the second round, only to flip the script and pin his opponent for the gutsy win.

“In the past, if I was down 8-1 there’s no way I would be coming back,” Cobb reflected. “I was

proud of how I handled that ad-versity and pinned my opponent, something I usually never do.”

If Cobb hadn’t been consid-ered a threat to pin an opponent, Sunday surely changed that: He proceeded to pin his quarterfinal opponent as well.

In the semifinal, Cobb faced a challenging match against Drexel’s Matt Cimato. After a second-round injury, it looked as if Cobb might fall short of his expected victory. However, his score with 20 seconds remaining prevented overtime and secured a spot in the final for the Quakers’ top athlete.

“He had the advantage, it’s a place I don’t like to be in,” Cobb said. “I usually lose when I get in those situations. But I got two takedowns to win the match, which I was very happy with.”

In the final, Cobb completed his quest for the title by edging Eastern Michigan’s Nick Barber in another down-to-the-wire match.

Cobb’s classmate Lorenzo

Thomas earned a title of his own in the 184-pound weight class. For Thomas, the road to the finals was much smoother, as he won every bout by a sizable margin.

In the final, Thomas met a fa-miliar face – teammate and Penn sophomore Joe Heyob. Despite the all-Penn final, Thomas main-tained that both grapplers wanted the title badly.

“It was still very intense,” Thomas said after an 8-7 victory over Heyob. “But it was definitely a bit different. We both worked really hard today and wanted to reward ourselves with a title.”

“Those guys are pretty competi-tive,” Tirapelle said. “It was still a very tough match.”

Perhaps the most surprising result of the day came from Penn sophomore May Bethea, brother of senior wrestler Ray. The younger Bethea defied all pre-tournament predictions by wrestling himself to a championship in the 157-pound weight class.

On the way to the title, Bethea

defeated stiff opposition that included Pittsburgh’s Ronnie Garbinsky, a 2013 NCAA Tourna-ment qualifier.

“It boosts my confidence a lot,” Bethea admitted. “I haven’t had a lot of big wins in college yet, so this felt great.”

Continuing the trend of Penn wrestlers facing each other late in the tournament, Bethea met a fellow Red and Blue grappler in senior Brooks Martino in the semifinals. In a match which many expected would go in favor of the more experienced wrestler, Bethea — clearly unfazed by his deep run in his bracket — earned a commanding 11-4 win to advance to the finals.

In two thrilling overtime pe-riods, Bethea edged Rider’s Chad Walsh, a wrestler who, like Bethea, hails from New Jersey. Unbeknownst to some fans, this was not the first time the two had seen each other.

“Our families have actually gotten to know each other,” Bethea

said. “I wrestled him one time in a summer tournament, but never during the season.”

The match was especially sig-nificant for Bethea because his entire family was present to see his first collegiate tournament title.

“I ran up to my brother right after the match for my celebra-tion,” Bethea said. “It was great hearing my family cheer for me from the crowd.”

“Bethea was definitely one of the best performers of the day,” Tirapelle said. “When you come unseeded into the bracket and do as well as he did, it’s always im-pressive.

“The important thing I took from his performance was that he didn’t shy away from the competi-tion, which is what Penn wrestling is all about.”

Next up for the Red and Blue is the Nittany Lion Open on Dec. 6, a tournament in which Penn will look to continue its improvement as the Quakers gear up for confer-ence competition.

On Saturday, Penn football clinched its 17th Ivy title at Frank-lin Field with a 34-21 win over Cornell. Here is how the game went down, through the eyes of a reporter.

12:35 p.m. – I show up at the gates and, unsurprisingly, the turnstiles are packed. Fortunately, I get to bypass the lines with my media pass. It’s game time, ladies and gentlemen.

12:55 – The National Anthem plays, and it’s a perfect day for football. It’s still a little weird to see one side of the field empty, but the place is starting to fill up.

1:05 – And we’re off!1:11 – GO CRAZY PENN!

Schoenauer puts Penn on the

board with the touchdown. The Red and Blue faithful can try to forget about that disastrous two-point attempt.

1:17 – What the WHAT? Fiore takes the toss ... And throws it to Ryan O’Malley for the absurd touchdown! Penn’s up, 13-0, with an Ivy Title on the line.

1:31 – This thing is getting a little one-sided — I’m not gonna lie to you. And you can tell from the demeanor of the players on the opposing sideline.

1:45 – It’s the start of the second quarter, and Cornell just dropped a DIME of a pass down to the Penn one-yard line. The Big Red then punch it in to make it 20-7. The crowd goes quiet, and we’ve got a ballgame.

1:49 – INSANE!!! Penn’s Lonnie Tuff just ran about 200 yards on the kickoff to get it to the Cornell five. And Torgersen proceeds to run it right in — 27-7 Penn. The Red and Blue offense is

looking just about unstoppable.1:59 – 10 minutes remain in the

second quarter. It’s not quite time for Penn fans to start scoreboard-watching Harvard and Dartmouth, but it’s getting there.

2:17 – With two minutes left in the half, it’s announced that Princeton is up on Dartmouth. The crowd is loving it, and the press box erupts into a wave of con-cealed fist-pumps.

2:28 – DP Sports’ own Alexis Ziebelman and the rest of the 2016 Class Board take the field to pres-ent the senior class’ official flag. I can sense my colleague, senior Riley Steele, getting emotional.

2:40 – For 10 minutes, I decide to use halftime to link up with the rest of the sports department, which is in the stands watching of the game. Objectively, of course.

2:48 – Sitting around for a legit-imate 20 minutes during halftime makes me realize how chilly it is. Thankfully, we’re back — and

Cornell really needs to score soon to keep it competitive.

3:00 – My goodness, Justin Watson is over 100 yards ... again. And he’s got his second touchdown of the game. Oh man. Dartmouth and Harvard are both in tight matchups — it may be time for Penn fans to start scoreboard-watching. Sole possession of the Ivy title sure would be sweet.

3:13 – Dartmouth just won. No more hope for a solo Penn Ivy title. Nonetheless, with the third quarter coming to a close, the Quakers are in great shape for at least a share.

3:26 – There’s a dude with a rake hitting pieces of toast at another dude with a rake. As I ob-serve this, Torgersen hits a pooch punt to the Cornell 10. What is going on?

3:38 – Torgersen gets taken out for Andrew Lisa. Looks like the Quakers are gonna just try to run this clock out with five minutes left in the game.

4:00 – After a long countdown, the clock hits zeros and the gates open. All bets are off. As I storm the field with the mass of students, I do what I can to get video with my iPhone and find myself in the middle of a horde of football play-ers. I almost drop my phone but am able to catch it before it gets lost in oblivion. Disaster averted.

4:05 – Pandemonium has sub-sided briefly to allow for a rousing rendition of “The Red and the Blue.” In my mind, I’m thinking, “Are these field goal posts gonna stay upright?” Ultimately, they do. One of the four pylons, however, seems to be missing.

4:15 – At this point, students are beginning to leave the field, and the celebration is in full force for Penn football. Cigars are out, hugs are being given and pictures are being taken left and right. Even for a bystander like myself, it was emotional.

4:22 – I suddenly realize that

my backpack and laptop are in the stands.

4:25 – I retrieve my stuff from the stands and return to the cel-ebration on the field. All is right in the world.

4:38 – After some effort on the part of the Penn Athletic Commu-nications staff, coach Ray Priore and three other players — with cigars still in tow — are corralled and led to Donaldson Media Room for the postgame press conference. I eagerly follow behind.

4:42 – Right outside of the media room, senior Dan Con-naughton enthusiast ica l ly campaigns for “Priore-Trump 2016.”

4:45 – The proceedings wrap up at the postgame press confer-ence as I attempt to comprehend what went down over the previous four hours, in what was possibly the craziest and most significant sporting event I have covered thus far.

Three matches. Three wins.With high expectations head-

ing into the season and strong performances at last week’s Ivy scrimmage, Penn’s squash teams opened up their 2015 campaigns with dominating wins over George Washington on Saturday. The sweep came one day after the men’s squad managed to get extra reps in a win over Navy.

Before the Red and Blue trav-eled to Washington to take on the Colonials, the men showcased their talents in Annapolis, Md., sweeping the Midshipmen, 9-0. Sophomore Anders Larson set the tone for Penn in the top position on the ladder, grabbing a 3-1 win to kickstart the romp.

While the trio of wins were im-portant for getting the Quakers’ season off on the right track, they came as little surprise to the teams involved.

Heading into the matchup, the women were ranked third in the nation while George Washington (3-1) stood at eighth in the polls. A

five-spot difference may not look like much at first, but the disparity in talent among teams ranked in the top ten was too great for the Colo-nials to overcome.

And throughout the weekend, Penn — a perennial powerhouse on the women’s side — dominated on all accounts.

The same held for the men, who entered Saturday as the nation’s No. 7 team and had little difficulty dis-patching No. 16 Navy (14-1) and No. 13 George Washington (5-1), drop-ping only one game in two matches.

The results should come as no shock to Red and Blue fans — Penn’s men have not lost to Navy

since 2001, while the women are undefeated against George Washington since the teams’ first meeting in 1977.

Although history repeated itself this weekend, new faces also made their ways into the record books. On the men’s side, the team’s three freshmen — Karim Hussein, Max Reed and Jonathan Zeitels — each started off their careers with the Quakers with 3-1 wins against the Midshipmen.

Hussein held his own for Penn (2-0) at the No. 2 position in both matches this weekend, finishing off his opponent from the Colonials with a 3-0 sweep.

On the women’s side, freshman Reeham Salah debuted at Penn’s No. 1 position. The Sammaish, Wash., native helped the Quakers (1-0) to a 9-0 shutout over the Colo-nials with a win of her own.

Fellow freshman Rowaida Attia joined Salah on the ladder, taking home a win in her first collegiate

match. Penn’s trio of All-Ameri-cans — junior Anaka Alankamony, sophomore Marie Stephan and senior captain Yan Xin Tan — all played a part in the team win as well.

The only blemish for the Quak-ers on the weekend came from the man who set the tone for dominance on Friday. After grabbing a 3-1 win over his Navy opponent, Larson fell to George Washington’s Moudy Abdel-Maksoud in a 3-0 loss the following afternoon.

Larson’s loss was the sole defeat for the Quakers in all three matches, putting a slight damper on what would have otherwise been a re-sounding sweep. That being said, the scoreboard failed to reflect how evenly-matched some of the contests were, as two of the men’s matches against George Wash-ington were a little too close for comfort.

Sophomore Derek Hsue and Zei-tels both played out five-set rallies.

After taking the first two sets, Hsue gave up the third and fourth by two points each before battling out a 12-10 win in the deciding set.

Zeitels found himself on the other side of the coin, facing two straight losses before turning it around to win the remaining three and clinch the match.

While both Hsue and Zeitels showed excellent resolve to close out their contests, the parity of those two five-set matches will remind the men that there is work to be done. Penn’s matchup with No. 9 Drexel on Tuesday is expected to provide the Quakers with a much more stern challenge.

And while the Red and Blue women can find some comfort in the ten-spot difference between them and the No. 13 Dragons in their battle on Tuesday, one thing remains clear: With so much of the season to go, neither one of Penn’s squads can afford to rest on opening weekend laurels.

Reporter’s Notebook: Penn fans storm the fieldFOOTBALL | East gates open after game endsCOLIN HENDERSONPresident-elect

in order to mold a contender. They opened up the playbook. They turned senior linebacker Tyler Drake loose. They utilized the conference’s best offensive weapon not playing quarterback — sophomore wide receiver Justin Watson — to his fullest potential.

That progression wasn’t seen from Harvard and Dartmouth.

But over the final six quarters of its season, Penn hit its stride and exemplified that evolution. In ending the Crimson’s 22-game winning streak, the Quakers pitched a second-half shutout against a team that led the Ivy League with 36.4 points and 474 yards per game. In clinching the 17th title in program history, the Red and Blue went up 20-0 on the Big Red in just under half a quar-ter.

If Penn needed to score 70 points to win on Saturday, it felt like it could. If the Quakers

absolutely had to pitch a shutout, well ... that also seemed feasible.

With the Red and Blue up by three scores, the end result was written: Ivy champs once again. But as much as one wanted to see the post-game celebration, the game was so beautiful, the narra-tive was so sweet and the setting was so perfect that it was hard not to wish for that perfect start to last forever.

Because Saturday’s first quarter was a poetic one. Watson showed exactly how good he is, moving over 1,000 yards receiving on the season. The Quakers’ defense, one that has been so dominant in 2015, registered an enormous hit on Cornell’s quarterback on the Big Red’s first offensive play, forcing a pick. And senior tight end Ryan O’Malley, who caught a touchdown when the Red and Blue clinched the 2012 title against Har-vard, repeated that feat to make it 13-0.

But in the end, the game went on. Cornell threatened in the

second quarter, cutting it to 20-7 before Lonnie Tuff’s Marcus Al-len-esque return on the ensuing kickoff put any fears of a collapse to bed. Up 27-7 at half, Penn’s title was in the bag.

The Ivy League championship trophy was not at Franklin Field on Saturday. But it didn’t matter. The Quakers earned their crowns throughout the season, and didn’t need to be presented with a trophy to indicate that they are in fact the champs.

That’s because Saturday as a whole was the cementing of domi-nance. The player wearing a Puck Frinceton t-shirt before the game. The 20-0 lead. The Gatorade shower. The storming of the field.

It was all a coronation.Now? Long live the kings.

RED AND BLUE CELEBRATE 17TH TITLEIn a game it led 20-0 after seven minutes, Penn football completed an incredible turnaround by finishing 2015 as one of the Ivy League’s three champions. The Quakers celebrated their title after a 34-21 victory that capped a five-win improvement from 2014.

PHOTO FEATURE

trademark defenses, the Quakers’ effort was secured by lockdown defending. The Red and Blue did not let up a second-chance point in the first half, ensuring that the few offensive boards New Hampshire managed to grab re-mained harmless. 10 steals and

five blocks for Penn ensured that it would be difficult for the Wild-cats to score all day.

Although the Quakers opened up a 56-42 lead midway through the third quarter, New Hamp-shire wasn’t ready to cede the game just yet. A 16-3 Wildcat run called the outcome into question ever so briefly as McLaughlin called timeout with just over five

minutes to play and a razor-thin 59-58 advantage hanging in the balance.

“It was really one possession at a time,” McLaughlin said. “We never lost our composure, we managed ourselves really well.”

A pair of baskets from Nwokedi kept the otherwise list-less Quakers afloat down the stretch, before Chambers sank

four free throws in the final 30 seconds to ice the contest for the Red and Blue.

Following a seven-hour trip back home, the Quakers must recover quickly as they host Colo-rado State less than 48 hours later.

And the Red and Blue will hope that the rules of home-court advantage become applicable once again.

Quakers finish in top 25 at NCAA’s

What a weekend it was for Penn athlet-ics.

Most of the campus’ attention was un-derstandably on football’s first Ivy League title since 2012, but this Saturday in Lou-isville, Ky., men’s cross country capped an historic season on a high note.

Penn earned an invitation to its first NCAA Cross Country Championships in 40 years by barely edging out arch-rival Villanova to clinch the second automatic qualification spot at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional meet in Princeton last week.

Having already achieved its primary goal of the season, the squad only had to avoid a spot among the bottom of the fin-ishers the the championships to count the day as a success.

Senior Thomas Awad made sure the Quakers surpassed that goal, leading the way with a 14th-place finish and earning All-American status.

His second time receiving the award, Awad became just the second male runner from Penn ever to earn the honor twice, joining the esteemed company of Dave Merrick, who gained the distinction — perhaps not-so-coincidentally — the last time the Quakers made it to an NCAA cross country championship: 40 years ago.

Meanwhile, in the women’s

championship, junior distance runner Ashley Montgomery closed out her strong season by finishing 73rd out of the over 250 runners in the meet. The Michigan native crossed the line at a time of 20:40 in the 6K race.

The men’s team finished 24th out of the 31 best teams in the nation thanks to strong leadership by Awad, as well as junior Nick Tuck, who finished his 10K about half a minute later.

The squad’s supporting cast, which fueled the Quakers’ journey to the na-tional championship, raced admirably as ever.

Junior Brendan Shearn and senior Brendan Smith finished reliably in third

and fourth respectively for the Red and Blue, while rookie Kevin Monogue was the fifth Penn athlete to cross the finish line.

To gain some sense of how competitive the race was, Monogue finished in 221st place out of over 250 runners, yet he still averaged around 5:10 per mile during the 10K race, a blistering pace by most stan-dards.

And after a 40-year hiatus from col-legiate cross country’s highest level, the Red and Blue really hit the ground run-ning with such a strong performance, even accounting for the absence normal

Penn heads north, topples Wildcats

So much for home-court advantage.Penn women’s basketball never

trailed on the road Sunday en route to a 67-60 win over New Hampshire, the Quakers’ third victory in a row.

After a three-pointer from sopho-more guard Beth Brzozowski broke an 11-11 tie just before the eight-minute mark, the Red and Blue (3-1) never looked back. Penn leveraged the trey into a seven-point scoring streak, a 19-6 run and a game that was never again even.

The story of the day, however, was the play of guard Anna Ross.

Sunday was a coming-out party for Ross, who made the transition from the one to the two during the offseason to make room at point for transfer senior Kasey Chambers. The sophomore shot 8-for-11 and 3-for-4 from three for a career-best 25 points, critical to the large mid-game lead the Quakers needed to hold off the upstart Wildcats (3-1) as the game wound

down.“That was the best game I’ve seen

her play since she’s been here at Penn,” coach Mike McLaughlin said of Ross’ showing. “She was awesome. She took big shots at the right time, she got to the basket, hit a couple threes, she was really confident.”

In the frontcourt, junior Sydney Stipanovich and sophomore Michelle Nwokedi held down the fort, with Sti-panovich adding four steals and six rebounds to a 14-point performance while Nwokedi contributed 12 points of her own to the team’s effort and fin-ished just one rebound shy of a third straight double-double.

“Sydney and Michelle, they always have their great games,” Ross said, noting that the success of the front-court opens things up for the guards.

“They don’t have to score every game, but they’re always going to have a good game whether they’re rebound-ing, they’re blocking, they’re doing something,” she continued. “I think we rely on them a lot and that they play well off of each other. We play better playing with them.”

Senior Thomas Awad picked up his second consecutive All-American nod at NCAA’s this weekend, coming in 14th overall while leading Penn to a 24th-place finish.

COURTESY OF PENN ATHLETICS

THECHAMPS

Saturday’s game at Franklin Field was not a competition. It wasn’t even a celebration.

It was a coronation.As Penn football took the field this

weekend, it didn’t matter that the squad would likely have to share the Ivy League title with two other teams. It didn’t matter that the Quakers had lost three of their first four contests of 2015. It didn’t matter that the Red and Blue earned a sixth-place finish in the con-ference’s preseason media poll.

That’s because, with a 34-21 victory over Cornell on Saturday, Penn proved that it was the best team in the Ancient Eight outright. And it only took seven minutes.

From far away, it’s easy to see why the Quakers may seem like the outsider among the conference’s trio of cham-pions. After all, Harvard has won 23 of its last 24 games — and now, three consecutive titles. Dartmouth’s only loss was to the Crimson, and the Big Green slaughtered Penn in Philadelphia in early October.

Add in the Quakers’ other two losses and it’s easy to assume coach Ray Priore’s squad lucked its way into the Ancient Eight crown.

But if one digs deeper, it’s actually not even close: Penn is better than Har-vard. Penn is better than Dartmouth. Penn is the best team in the Ivy League. And it has a share of the title to show for it.

It’s not uncommon to hear coaches discuss what they want to see out of their teams. Cover a squad for long enough and one distinct generality becomes abundantly clear: Every coach wants to see their team improve from week to week over the course of a season.

It’s a cliche. But in a year in which the Quakers defied conventional wisdom at almost every turn, this cliche actually fits.

For 10 weeks, the 2015 version of Penn football was an evolving organ-ism, adapting to the different situations presented by each opponent while grow-ing as a program in the process. In so few ways do the Quakers mirror how they looked in losing by 21 points in two of their first three games.

From early October onward, Priore’s coaching staff and the Red and Blue at large made the necessary changes
