Right now, the UA believes that students are mainly walking or using

cabs or SEPTA to get to 30th Street Station. The LUCY loop is one of the SEPTA options that runs from 6 a.m to 7:30 p.m on weekdays. More than 70,000 people rode the LUCY loop in May 2014, but most were employees that work in University

For the first time, Penn President Amy Gutmann is the highest-compensated University employee.

A talk with Mayor Nutter

attracts new Penn Dems members

As students return to campus looking to get involved with extracurriculars, Penn Democrats, one of the most active political organizations on campus, has a prominent recruiting tool: Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter .

Mayor Nutter spoke to a room of over 80 students at Penn Dems’ first meeting of the year at Huntsman Hall on Tuesday night.

“I think he is a really interesting politi-cian, and his seat is almost up, so I am hop-ing he will be a little bit more loose-lipped,” Penn Dems President and Wharton Senior Amiyr Jackson said before Nutter spoke to the room. “But I think it will be nice for peo-ple coming from West Philadelphia to ask him questions about issues and things going on here.”

Before Nutter spoke off-the-record to the large group for almost an hour, he expressed his admiration and appreciation for Penn Dems.

THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

Western University’s student newspaper The Gazette received pushback on a feature in their “Frosh Issue” illustrating how to seduce your TA. Administrators, alumni and others criticized the content of the article for working against efforts to make the university a safe space for students and faculty. The editorial board of the paper initially defended the piece saying they had published much more risqué material in the past, but eventually issued an apology.

This week in higher education

Freshmen at Columbia participated in a new workshop addressing sexual violence and other issues as a part of their new student orientation program. The new sexual violence workshop had a more serious tone and became a mandatory session for freshmen after students proposed revisions following last year's program. Sexual assault has recently been a major issue on Columbia's campus, with the university canceling the fall concert in part because of sexual harassment concerns. Penn’s NSO sexual assault programming also saw changes this year, with a longer mandatory session for new students.

Columbia University

Mills College, a women's college in California, has announced it has changed its admissions policy and will now admit anyone who self-identifies as a woman. Mills is the first single-sex higher education institution in the United States to create an admis-sions policy to admit transgender students. USA Today reported that the college says even though it has already admitted many transgender students, it wanted an official policy.

Mills College

The new library at the Florida Polytechnic University contains over 135,000 titles, but none of them can be taken off the shelves. As a recently opened institution, the university chose to go totally digital and provide only electronic books to its students. Convenience and a 21st century vibe are appealing to students, but an added perk is the user-driven model where the university will automatically purchase a book for its collection after just two students have used the title.

House cafe .A separate inquiry by a consul-

tant raised concerns about whether sanitation standards were being op-timized at the cafes. Since the cafes were not licensed businesses, they were not inspected to ensure they had met regulatory requirements.

Redman said the decision to close the cafes in Rodin, Harnwell, Harrison, Riepe and Kings Court college houses was based on both

of these fi ndings.“My concern was we were func-

tioning as a business instead of a program,” Redman said. “Once we start selling, we cross a higher code threshold to care for the people we are selling to.”

Redman admitted that he was “99 percent sure the cafes are not in compliance” with regulations. This could have spelled serious trouble for the University. “If in our cafe environment the code compliance folks came by and found we were

out of compliance, they would shut down those cafes not in compliance and we would face fi nes,” he said in a follow up email.

Redman said that the decision to close the cafes was “very diffi cult,” but as soon as he knew something was potentially wrong, he “did something about it.” Even though the cafes weren’t found to be active-ly violating health codes, he felt that ensuring student safety was para-mount. “God forbid a student got ill because we weren’t doing what we

were supposed to,” Redman said.The decision to not reopen the

cafes was made at the end of June after the audit — which was started to investigate the profi ts of college house cafes. The only college house to keep its cafe will be Gregory Col-lege House, which will no longer sell food there, instead giving out food for free on a less frequent basis.

The college house cafes will not be reopened until the licensing is-sue has been resolved, which could take anywhere from three months to

a year, Redman said.Students were generally unaware

of why the cafes closed, and some raised concerns when they found out about their closure.

College junior Ivy Johnson , a former cafe manager in Harnwell, created a petition to reopen the cafe, which has currently received over 150 signatures.

After learning that the cafes were closed because of possible regu-lation issues, Johnson said it was a problem that students were not

given enough notice to adjust.“Several work-study students

relied on the cafe as a job to cover not only books for coursework, but also food and other necessary mate-rials,” Johnson said. As a manager, she had no idea the cafes were clos-ing, she later added.

“Without this job, several stu-dents have been forced to carry an extra burden of stress as they engage in a last-minute job search while trying to balance academics,” Johnson said.

West Philadelphians have greatly benefited from collabo-ration with University City in-stitutions, a report issued last week by the University City District found.

The report, which detailed the activities of UCD’s West Phila-delphia Skills Initiative, found that WPSI placed 124 West Philadelphia residents in profes-sional positions in University City in the four years since the program was founded — an ac-complishment in an area with a poverty rate above the Philadel-phia average.

West Philadelphia anchor institutions, including Penn and the Children’s Hospital of

Philadelphia, comprise over 10 percent of the city’s total em-ployment, with over 72,000 jobs across educational, scientific and service sectors. Despite this density of opportunity, 31 per-cent of West Philadelphians live below the poverty level with an unemployment rate of 15 per-cent, according to the report.

In order to alleviate unem-ployment in the community, WPSI has created a strategic system of transforming em-ployer needs into opportunities for job-seeking participants. The programs are designed to respond directly to the distinct hiring challenges of each em-ployer institution.

Penn Medicine is one of the many anchor institutions that has benefitted from the WPSI model. In response to the in-efficient use of highly trained analysts, WPSI customized a six-month program in which

participants were trained to learn skills necessary for spe-cific Penn Med positions.

After being unemployed for

two months, Michael Benson – now an analyst at the Perelman School of Medicine – underwent the WPSI training program two

years ago in search of a career. He said, “The program was very conducive to understanding my strengths and weaknesses, and

from there I could push bound-aries on my weaknesses and turn them into strengths for the position.”

After completing the train-ing program, WPSI continued to support Benson by advising him on any professional ques-tions he encountered in the field. Since starting at the Med-ical School, Benson has taken on more responsibility in vari-ous projects.

“The key takeaway from the program was to always seize op-portunities and to never be com-placent,” Benson said. “Once I got a chance to show what I’ve learned and how I’ve grown, the training came to fruition.”

As a result of the WPSI part-nership with Penn Med, 98 per-cent of participants completed the program, 80 percent are steadily employed and 30 per-cent have risen to higher-paying positions.

On April 15, 1993, close to 14,000 copies of The Daily Penn-

sylvanian were removed from campus distribution sites. In the absence of nearly the entire circulation of the paper, members of Penn’s black student popu-lation declared that they would no longer tolerate “the blatant and voluntary perpetuation of institutional racism against the Black Community by the DP” and by virtue of the paper’s symbolism, the University at large.

This was just two de-cades ago. But add this history to an algorithm of unrest that comes from the demonization of black and brown bodies in local, na-tional and international news outlets and here’s what you get: The media cannot always tell our stories.

And so we beseech the same prayer: “What does it mean to be black in this space and time?”

It is one carried in the hearts of students of color on this campus, oftentimes in the wake of brutal cir-cumstances. The systems of respectability politics and ushered silence which oper-ate in our nation and on our campus still reign.

Although we are begin-ning to breach into a land of promising race talk, we are very much afraid to deeply indulge in dialogue about racial mistreatment and misrepresentation here at home.

It is imperative to put our historical context at Penn in perspective. This year marked the 133rd an-niversary of the graduation of Penn’s first black student, James Brister, 141 years af-ter Penn’s founding.

Fast forward to Penn admissions in 2013, black students constitute a total of 7.1 percent of the under-

graduate pool on campus. This means out of an un-dergraduate class of 10,319 students, 732 University-defined black students can claim Penn as their home.

Let this number float in your mind. And while it’s floating, let’s put it be-side another: 665,471. This was the 2013 census count which reported the total number of black residents living in Philadelphia.

And so the question per-meates: What does it mean to be black in this space and time? Especially when, 133 years after Brister’s gradua-tion, the access, opportunity and civic membership here fall far from definitions of equality for all.

The purpose for this col-umn is to strengthen black voices in order to add di-mension to our continued activism on this campus and progress our politics.

Our history is one we have not forgotten. The Vi-sion, founded in October 1989 by three Penn under-graduate students — 1992 College graduates Harold Ford, Jr. and Altoine Scar-borough and 1991 Wharton graduate Gabrielle Glore — was one of Penn’s first independent student publi-cations that catered to those with African diasporic backgrounds.

As one of the founders remarked, “[W]e were en-couraged by the realization that all students would ben-efit by hearing these other voices. We learned from the experience that frustration — and even dissent — when processed thoughtfully and channeled wisely can be a powerful force for change.” Twenty-five years later, the direction for The Vision has come full circle in collabo-ration with the DP.

We hope to give voice to the intersectionality of black identity and the plight of blacks in this country by

articulating the social, po-litical, educational and eco-nomic disparities we face in 21st century America. The way we plan to encourage this is to curate a column with a rotation of writers, from different schools with-in the University, along with a variety of class years, geo-graphic spaces, sexual/reli-gious/class orientations, etc.

We believe this volume of diverse voices will begin a much-needed conversation with the DP’s far-reaching audience around the coun-try, and this column can be a space from which read-ers engage, incite deeper understanding of our com-munities, learn and per-haps, above all, will want to change the conditions of our nation.

What we hope to build is more than a pastiche of numbers, facts and fig-ures. Rather, these articles and stories will serve as a staircase that we build in celebration of the past and the present, one way for us to begin a dialogue that will ignite the work we have been called to do in this space right now.

He was a senior by the looks of him — tall and skinny with

three weeks of want-a-beard scruff — all anxious about college and how to get there. He walked up to me in the West Philadelphia High School cafeteria and, looking somewhere off to the side, started asking me nervous, jerky questions. Where was I studying? What year? What major? How old was I? Did I know how to do fractions?

I said I knew how to do fractions.

Like how to subtract one-fourth from two-fourths?

Well, let me see. I thought about it, and worked the problem out on a piece of paper.

What about this one? He hit me with two different de-nominators.

Well, yes, I could add those fractions too.

He concentrated and tried to follow my steps. “You’re really good at this stuff, huh? It’s not hard for you?”

I wished so badly that I’d been able to wiggle out of telling him my age. He never met my eye, but I eas-ily guessed that he was 18, too, and the fact was eating him. So I did my best. I em-phasized that math was re-ally “my thing.” I was a bit advanced for my age. Might even major in the subject.

It didn’t really work. I spent my last hour at West watching a senior fight back tears as he tried to learn fractions and then tackle the baffling quadratic equations in his homework.

CSSP’s after-school tu-toring at West Philadelphia High school was carried out in the cafeteria — spa-cious, well-lit and clean. As I packed up to leave for the last time, I might have tak-en a little walk around this brand-new, $50 million high school where students do not know how to add fractions. I might have peeped into the

classrooms with fancy elec-tronic whiteboards. I might have slipped into a lab full of equipment that I’d never even hoped to handle during high school.

But even if I thought of doing so, I wouldn’t have wasted my time. West stu-dents (who were paid an hourly rate to attend after-school tutoring with me) had already settled that score. They gave a disgusted little shrug when my coworker tried to ask about how much nicer it must be at the “New West.” It’s not really any dif-ferent from the old place. New building, yeah, but the people are all the same.

And by “the people,” they mostly meant their fel-low students. The students I interacted with at West almost never complained about their teachers. The fact is, they had very little to complain about. The math teacher I worked with, a great boulder of a man with a time-worn face, was the most gentle, persistent teacher I’d ever met. In a classroom where approxi-mately half the students were chatting, fighting or dazed — where students threatened to use their TI-84’s as projectiles — he kept right on doing his best to quiet the class and teach algebra.

I keenly felt the disso-nance between the media hubbub last year about un-

derfunding in Philadelphia public schools and the actual issue at hand. The school needed discipline, not tax dollars. Students needed to learn that “getting some-where” correlates to hard work in the face of difficulty, not just having a privileged environment. The kids could succeed if they tried, but they’d have to fight an uphill battle against the culture es-tablished by their own class-mates — the culture of not trying.

Now, it’s true that more funding never hurts. More professional counselors could be hired to try to turn around the culture. But first off, the School District of Philadelphia is about $3 bil-lion in debt, and secondly, few kids trust someone that they know is drawing a sal-ary to preach morality at them. Kids are doing poorly because their real relation-ships — the ones that extend beyond the metal detectors at the front gates of West — do not encourage them to stick it out and swim up-stream.

I wonder sometimes, what might have happened if I had given that senior my friendship instead of summed up fractions. It would have taken a lot more effort. But maybe — as so many of Penn’s Big Broth-ers and Big Sisters might testify — it would have been worth it.

“Penn Dems were the first organized group actually to en-dorse me, and at the time you were the only organized group to have endorsed me in 2007, so thank you,” Nutter added , which was followed by wide-spread applause.

For freshmen that have just arrived to Penn and are inter-ested in Democratic politics, an intimate question-and-answer session with Nutter clearly drew excitement.

“I am very interested in getting involved here, especially with the

Democratic party,” Engineering freshman Michael Ramdatt said. “I was really interested to hear what Mayor Nutter had to say ... and this isn’t just some random person — it’s actually the mayor of Philadelphia.”

Wharton study: Negotiators lie to women more than to men

Future career women at Penn, the world of business might be more deceptive than you think.

Jessica Kennedy , a former le-gal studies and business ethics researcher at Wharton , found in a study with two researchers from UC Berkeley that people lie to women in negotiations more often than they lie to men.

The study — in a forthcom-ing issue of the journal Orga-nizational Behavior and Hu-man Decision Processes — was based on simulated negotiations among students in MBA classes at another university, where all the students had an incentive to perform well and boost their reputations. The simulated ne-gotiations were mostly distribu-tor or real estate negotiations

where “buyer’s gain was the seller’s loss,” Kennedy said.

This competitive negotiation setting was designed to be simi-lar to real-world situations in which it is costly for negotiators to lie if their partners discover the deception.

To Kennedy’s surprise, the negotiators lied 17 percent more when their counterparts were women.

“There wasn’t any evidence that women are easier to de-ceive,” Kennedy said. “People just have stereotypes about how easily misled women are.”

The quality of lies was also noticeably different. Agents tended to say lies that are based on true facts to men, whereas they gave blatant lies to women.

However, the study indicated that it was not just men who hold the stereotype.

“It’s kind of unusual that women lie more to women as well,” Kennedy said. She ex-plained that in cases where

women are acting as seller’s agents, they think they are rep-resenting someone else’s inter-est and assume the same stereo-types the seller has.

Kennedy’s study is not the only one that articulates why and in what ways women en-counter additional hurdles in pursuing their careers . Research by Hannah Bowles of Harvard Business School , whose focus is on “gender in negotiation and the attainment of leadership positions,” confirms that both men and women are less inter-ested in working with women who negotiate for a higher sal-ary.

The two studies both dem-onstrate that in the world of business, women often tend to collaborate in creating a biased environment.

“Both men and women have to undergo a paradigm shift in treating men and women equal-ly,” said Meaghan Casey , a sec-ond-year MBA student and the

president of Wharton Women in Business .

Casey explained that Whar-ton has been progressing toward creating an equal environment for both male and female busi-ness people. Forty-two percent of MBA students last year were women, and WWIB has been supporting women to become better negotiators.

“In my personal experience, it can be beneficial to build your credibility and not to do so in a way that is arrogant but just to allow others to understand that you are going into a conversa-tion already knowledgeable about the subject,” she said.

Another possible way is to bring additional staff to back you up.

“I want Wharton [female] students to know and be aware that they are the target of ne-gotiations,” Kennedy said. “It definitely creates an additional barrier for women to perform well.”

City — not students — according to Manuel Smith, public informa-tion manager at SEPTA.

College sophomore Kat McK-ay, committee chair of the dining, sustainability and facilities com-mittee of the UA, is heading the project because she felt that Penn students were not using the ser-vice because of the lack of some important stops and a lack of marketing.

“It’s about making this some-thing that appeals to the student body and the places they want to get to, as opposed to the places it stops already,” McKay said.

After spending a week in the summer on Yale University’s campus and seeing how much the shuttle service there was utilized, McKay thought that changing the shuttle service would be an “opportunity to make student life here better in a tangible way.”

UA representatives are meet-ing with Penn Transit to discuss the implementation of the plan, McKay said. The project is still in its early stages, so McKay is getting feedback and ideas from students on campus. She hopes students providing feedback will also utilize Penn Transit in the future.

When deciding where to add stops, 30th Street Station seemed like a good choice because it provides access to Washington, D.C., and New York City, lo-cations that students travel to frequently, especially during on-campus recruiting, McKay added.

Although the transportation services stop frequently on cam-pus and take all Penn Card hold-ers with up to two guests to their destinations for free, not many

Penn students use the service, McKay said. The UA plans to use social media and word of mouth to increase the number of stu-dents using Penn Transit.

from her fiscal year 2012 pack-age of $2,091,764. Although this increase does not quite match the 43 percent jump be-tween fiscal years 2011 and 2012, it remains consistent with the upward trend in Gutmann’s salary since her arrival at Penn a decade ago.

Due to the timing of the In-ternal Revenue Service’s re-porting requirements, fiscal year 2013 is the most recent year for which compensation totals are available.

Gutmann’s most recent pack-age comprises a nearly 270-per-cent increase from the $767,030 package she received her first year at the University in the

2005 fiscal year. Gutmann — who came to the helm in 2004 — received about 286 percent of the $986,915 that her prede-cessor Judith Rodin made dur-ing her tenth and final year as Penn president.

“We believe this compen-sation structure has given us the most effective university leadership team in the coun-try,” said David Cohen, chair of Penn’s Board of Trustees, in an email. “We have people here who are smart and competitive; people who want to succeed and are willing to be judged by the outcome of their work. That is a formula that breeds success.”

Gutmann and other senior administrators’ salaries are des-ignated by a committee of the Board of Trustees, which takes into account compensation at peer institutions, the input of a third-party consultant and assessment of performance by the individual, said Cohen, who chairs the Trustees’ Compensa-tion Committee.

However, Gutmann’s salary is unlikely to continue to rise at such a high rate, compensation consultants said.

“You can’t keep escalating at that level forever,” said Tom LaWer, a 1988 Wharton gradu-ate and principal at Compen-sia, Inc. “[Gutmann] is getting

to the top end of the market range.”

Compensation consultants agree that performance is vital in determining compensation among university presidents.

“It is a huge job running a university — there are many tentacles,” said Paul Dorf, chairman of consulting firm Compensation Resources. “The individuals are well-compen-sated for what they do.”

Penn also has to keep pace with pay at peer institutions to retain talent, said Mark Borges, another principal at Compensia, Inc.

“The fact that she’s been there for a significant period of time probably reflects the qual-ity of her performance,” Borges said of Gutmann, whose current term will last through 2019. “She’s probably getting steady increases because the board is happy with her performance.”

Although the 2013 tax filings of peer institutions are not yet available, Gutmann has claimed an unwavering spot among the top-paid private university presidents.

In last year’s tax filings, Gutmann was the second-highest-paid Ivy League presi-dent, behind only Columbia University’s Lee Bollinger. In previous years, she ranked

third among the Ivy presidents, behind Bollinger and Yale’s Richard Levin, who has since stepped down.

A report by the Chronicle of Higher Education ranked Gutmann as the sixth-highest compensated private university president in 2011 — and the highest-paid woman on the list — with Robert Zimmer of the University of Chicago claiming a hefty $3,358,723 compensa-tion package and the top spot. Only six private university presidents, including Gutmann, received compensation pack-ages greater than $2 million, according to the report.

The report also listed each president’s compensation per $1 million in total expenditures. Gutmann ranked the lowest among the top 20 highest-paid presidents, with $376 of com-pensation per million dollars of total expenditures.

Gutmann’s base pay com-prised 51.5 percent of her total compensation in 2011, accord-ing to the Chronicle’s report — the highest among the top eight. In fiscal year 2013, her base pay fell to 39.8 percent of her total salary.

Gutmann’s base salary grew 4.2 percent from $1,078,016 in 2011 to $1,123,376 in 2012, a much smaller increase from the

17.9 percent jump in base sal-ary between 2010 and 2011 — from $914,724 to $1,078,016.

This shift aligns with the conclusion of the Making His-tory fundraising campaign, which concluded at the end of 2012 and raised $4.3 billion — $800 million more than the original campaign goal of $3.5 billion. In 2012, Gutmann re-ceived $942,500 in bonus and incentive compensation.

“As I have said in the past, the Trustees feel strongly that we have the best university president in the country in Amy Gutmann, and we believe her compensation should reflect that,” Cohen said.

The third highest-paid em-ployee, after Gutmann and Muller, was Larry Jameson, dean of the Perelman School of Medicine and executive vice president of UPHS. Also among the top earners were several surgeons affiliated with Penn Medicine.

It is not unusual for the head of a health system to make more than a university president, largely due to the complexity of a hospital system.

The high demand in running a health system is not unlike running a university, Borges said.

“These are some of the most difficult jobs in the country be-cause you have to play so many roles simultaneously,” he said. “If you’ve got someone there for an extended period of time it generally means they’re good at their job.”

Though the season didn’t end as many hoped, 2013 was a sea-son of tremendous growth for Penn field hockey. Here are the top five moments from a campaign that ended with the team falling to Princeton in a do-or-die match for the Ivy title.

1. Super stop, Carly Sokach!The junior goalie was at her

absolute best against Yale on Oct. 26, stopping all 15 shots she faced — plus an additional four in pen-alties — in a 1-0 shootout win.

“Once you get your confidence and you get your footing, no mat-ter what the offense is doing, the defense can stand strong,” she said.

2. Grand OpeningYears in the making, Ellen Va-

gelos Field received the perfect in-troduction when the Quakers took on Cornell on Sept. 21.

Penn’s play matched the speed of the top-of-the-line artificial turf playing surface, as then-junior at-tack Emily Corcoran scored after just 33 seconds in a 4-3 Red and Blue victory.

One day later, the Quakers of-fense continued to hum, scoring five goals in the first half en route to a 7-0 pasting of Pacific.

3. The perfect setupThough Penn fell in its finale

to Princeton, 5-1, it couldn’t erase the memory of the squad’s bril-liant performance against Brown a week earlier.

Then-freshman Jasmine Cole scored two goals just 2:49 apart, as the Quakers manhandled the Bears, 4-0.

“I think our offense needed that kind of game to regain its confi-dence and to go into [the Princ-eton] matchup feeling hot,” coach Colleen Fink said.

4. Nonconference domination

Opponents outside of the Ivy League proved to be no match for the Quakers in 2013. Overall, the Red and Blue went 8-2 against their nonconference foes.

Some of the highlights: a 7-1 pasting of Appalachian State that featured two goals and an assist from then-senior attack Sunny Stirewalt, a 4-3 overtime win over Rider that ended on a Corcoran strike and a 5-4 season-opening win over Lehigh that then-soph-omore attack Elizabeth Hitti fin-ished off with a penalty corner.

5. Heads held high in defeatWin or lose, the homecoming

finale against Princeton proved to be a turning point for Penn field hockey. The stands at Vagelos Field were packed to the brim, while dozens of alumni from far and wide took part in a power-ful pregame ceremony. Penn may have fallen short, but that after-noon over 600 people became privy to the potential that sur-rounded the field hockey program.

“I would say it was a special season, but that may imply a tem-

porary status — instead, I view it as a step in the direction that Penn field hockey wants to continue,” Fink wrote in a postseason col-

umn for The Daily Pennsylvanian. “The women involved with Penn field hockey want to win. We want to work hard. We want to be re-

spected for a long time. The 2013 season was amazing for the staff and players; however, we all agree we are not done.”

Junior attack Elizabeth Hitti had a hand in many of Penn field hockey’s 2013 highlights. The Ashland, Mass. native tallied six goals on 25 shots last year, including a game-winning penalty corner to topple Lehigh in the Quakers’ season opener.

The top five moments for field hockey in 2013

The Quakers had plenty to be proud of after falling

short of the Ivy titleBY IAN WENIKSports Editor

9SPORTSWEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014THEDP.COM | THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN

views thus far are mixed at best.Whereas the Red and Blue

took on two Big Ten squads a year ago — facing off with Penn State at the Palestra before head-ing to the Midwest to battle Fran McCaffery’s Hawkeyes — the Quakers will play only one team from a Power Five conference. Yet a game over winter break against a Vanderbilt team that finished with a sub-.500 record last year doesn’t exactly fill that void.

Penn will continue to match up with its Big 5 rivals, a series of games highlighted by a home contest against last year’s Big East regular season champion

Villanova. But other than seeing Jay Wright’s coaching brilliance in person and two matchups with perennial Ivy powerhouse Har-vard, the Quakers’ schedule is anything but easy to get excited about.

Unfortunately, this is the new normal for Penn basketball. Moving forward, Red and Blue fans should expect a less-than stellar schedule, at least until the Quakers show themselves worthy of sharing the court with top-notch opponents.

Four seasons ago, Penn took on a Pitt team ranked in the top five. The following year, one in which the Quakers made astrides in Allen’s second full year at the helm, the Red and Blue hosted Pitt before playing

Duke in Durham.Those days are gone. No lon-

ger can Penn or its fans expect successful programs across the country to want to schedule the Quakers based on their history and pedigree. We’ve known for a long time that Matt Maloney and Jerome Allen of the 1990s — or players like them — aren’t coming out of the Palestra locker room. Now major powerhouses have taken note as well.

There is no better way to un-derstand Penn’s fall from grace than by looking around the Ivy League. After a second-place finish in 2013-14 and with soph-omore forward Justin Sears re-turning, Yale has rewarded itself with road matchups with Con-necticut, Florida and Vanderbilt.

Ball don’t lie.Up-and-comer Columbia

also has a schedule laden with quality opponents. The Lions emerged as a legitimate threat to Harvard’s reign atop the confer-ence last season and will take on both participants of last season’s national championship game — UConn and Kentucky.

And of course, how could anyone forget everyone’s favor-ite Cinderella? The Crimson will face Boston College again while also playing Arizona State and last year’s ACC champion Virginia. To the victor go the spoils, right?

But maybe for Penn basket-ball as a program, the right thing to do at this point is to keep the schedule weak. With a youthful

team suffering from the de-parture of eight members of last year’s squad, a schedule lacking big-name nonconfer-ence opponents could be ex-actly what helps the Quakers.

Therefore, this season,

one in which Allen needs wins to save his job and the program desperately requires a shot in the arm, perhaps small-time is better. Assuming Penn can cap-italize against no-name teams like Niagara, Marist and Dela-ware State while improving its conference record, that could be the solution for the Red and Blue’s scheduling problem moving forward.

The schedule does not look pretty and it certainly won’t generate a lot of enthusiasm among students. But this isn’t about student apathy. It’s about finding a way to generate wins for a program that hasn’t had many of those in a long time.

For now — and hopefully only for now — worse could be better.

horse out on the field and she plays well on both sides of the ball,” Fink said. “Her teammates look to her for energy and passion in com-petitive situations.”

Fink and Corcoran’s relation-ship goes back before either was at Penn.

“I’ve known Emily a long time — I coached her when she was in high school,” Fink said. “She defi-nitely hasn’t disappointed.”

It’s early, but according to Corcoran, the same can be said for Penn’s crop of freshmen, with whom the captain has been able to work closely leading up to the season.

“Our freshmen have been amaz-ing so far, so they kind of make it easy [for me as a captain],” she said.

The first-year class includes two attacks, Alexa Hoover and Rachel Huang, who will look to make an impact on the offensive end along-side Corcoran and fellow scoring threats Elise Tilton and Elizabeth Hitti.

“Our team has been working as a cohesive unit in practice,” Corco-ran said. “I’m really excited to see the combination of the returning players with the newcomers this season.”

If the rest of the Quakers are in-deed able to come together and fol-low Corcoran’s lead, the Red and Blue will have plenty to be excited about this fall.

Penn men’s soccer came into the 2013 season on the heels of a bad 2012 season. Coach Rudy Fuller put his team through a tough training schedule to get the players ready for what became a banner season. The Quakers’ 8–8–2 record doesn’t tell the full story, as the team completely reversed its finish from 2012, winning the Ivy title and making the NCAA Tour-nament. Here are the top moments from that campaign.

1. The title What else could possibly top

the list? The Quakers went into the final day of the season playing for the Ivy League title in Cambridge. Penn and Harvard had finished at the bottom of the Ancient Eight the

year before, so the stage was new for both squads. In the fifth minute, then-senior back Nicky Yin con-tributed what would ultimately be the winning goal and seven min-utes later, Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year Duke Lacroix added a goal of his own. Then-sophomore Max Polkinhorne shut out the Crimson to send Penn to the NCAA Tournament.

2. To OT and beyond No, it wasn’t a win, but a trip

to the NCAA Tournament was a major step forward for the Red and Blue after just three wins in 2012. The Quakers took Providence to the brink in the first round of the tournament, going to penalty kicks tied at one. While the Quakers ultimately fell, it took a strong ef-fort from Friars goalkeeper Keasel Broome to keep Penn out of the second round.

3. A clean startAfter a solid performance in

nonconference play, the Quakers

went all in for their Ivy matches, starting with a tight game against defending champion Cornell. Penn once again got a clean sheet from its goalkeeper — Polkinhorne fin-

ished the match with seven saves — and a goal from back Jonny Dolezal gave the Red and Blue a 1–0 win.

4. A solid beginningAfter struggling in 2012, Penn

was in need of a strong start to the season. The Quakers got just that. Playing games in Penn Park against Stony Brook and Sacred Heart, Penn’s offense exploded for seven goals while senior keeper Tyler Kinn didn’t give up a goal in either match. Then-freshman Alec Neumann helped lead the onslaught with two goals against Sacred Heart.

5. A better finishPenn’s Ivy title hopes looked to

be slipping out of its fingers when Yale traveled to Rhodes Field. The Elis held a 2–1 advantage late in the match before a pair of senior captains saved the day for Penn. In the 87th minute, Dolezal tied the match off assists from Baker and Austin Kinn. The goal forced overtime, where — in the 94th minute — Stephen Baker ended a six-match goalless streak with the game-winning tally, moving Penn to 3–0–1 in Ivy play at the time.

Solid work behind the net by then-senior goalkeeper Tyler Kinn helped the Quakers to two early season wins, a necessarily fast start after a poor season in 2012.

the past, he manages to maintain a constant high level of intensity.

“All the personal accolades are a true honor,” he said. “But what really keeps me going are the team goals and the team accolades we achieve as a pro-gram. I think any team triumph we have is far more important to me than any personal award.”

As if there wasn’t enough separating Lacroix from other athletes entering their senior year, there is the fact that this season may very well not be the last time we see or hear about him on the soccer field.

“Anytime you get a guy like Duke, who has such passion for the game and such a great work ethic, combined with such a high degree of talent, you get a player who is only going to get better,” Fuller said. “I believe he has a great opportunity to go on and play professionally.”

However, Lacroix isn’t quite ready to look that far into the future.

“I really appreciate the confidence the coaches have in me, and when I get to that point I’m sure it would be great to have that opportu-nity, but that’s just not where my mind is right now,” he said. “Right now, all I can think about is getting that first ‘W’ against Drexel on Friday.”

And if Lacroix plays up to the level his talent and resume suggests, it will go a long way toward keeping Penn soccer atop the Ivy League.

Penn will play eight of its next nine games on the road with games against Big 5 rival Tem-ple, Wagner, Navy and Bing-hamton. The Red and Blue re-turn home to face Marist on Dec. 9 before going on winter break.

After a 13-day layoff, Penn travels to Nashville to play Vanderbilt and finishes out 2014 with a Dec. 30 trip to La Salle.

The team’s first Ivy game will be at Princeton on Jan. 10 be-fore closing out nonconference

play with a game at Niagara and matchups at the Palestra with Villanova, Monmouth and St. Joseph’s.

As the schedule normally shakes out, Penn will play its final 13 games against Ivy opponents, culminating in a home matchup with Princeton on March 10. For the second straight season, the games against Princeton will occur during winter and spring breaks.

Vanderbilt, Navy, Bingham-ton and Delaware State are the only opponents who were not also on Penn’s schedule last sea-son. Vanderbilt, an SEC squad, is the only team from one of the Power Five conferences, a year after Penn played Iowa and Penn State from the Big Ten.

With a wealth of leadership graduating in the class of 2014, senior forward Duke Lacroix is expected to take on an even larger role than during last season, when he led the team in scoring on the way to numerous Ivy League recognitions.

11SPORTSWEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014THEDP.COM | THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN 11

Penn fi eld hockey may have lost a lot of talent over the sum-mer, but with senior attack Emily Corcoran returning, the Quakers still have hope to compete for an Ivy League championship.

A Pennsylvania native, Corcoran is capable of taking on many important roles, ranging from goal scorer, setup man and midfi eld presence to serving as a strong-willed leader.

The second-team All-Ivy at-tack proved she could be an off ensive force in 2013 with a breakout campaign that featured 13 goals and nine assists, good for second and fi rst on the Red and Blue, respectively.

Not only did Corcoran score often last season — she scored when it mattered most. Her fi ve game-winning goals led the Ivy League.

The senior boasts a combina-tion of size, strength and fi nesse that makes her one of the hardest off ensive threats to defend in the Ancient Eight.

Although her physique and skill set are diffi cult to replicate, her hustle and grit can be conta-gious.

Now a captain, Corcoran has the opportunity to take her lead-by-example style to the next level and help a team full of newcom-ers reach its full potential.

After expressing how gradu-ated senior Julie Tahan’s leader-ship would be missed, Corcoran said that it is “important and ex-citing for [her] to take on more of a leadership role as a captain.”

Being a veteran, Corcoran has seen a paradigm shift in the Quakers’ attitude after last year’s impressive 13–4 campaign.

“I think in the past we’ve kind of considered ourselves the underdog,” she said. “But after such a standout season last year, I think we’re going into this sea-son with a lot more confi dence. We defi nitely think we have a lot of skill and the ability to beat the top teams.”

Coach Colleen Fink is more than happy to have the veteran Corcoran anchor her 2014 squad.

“She’s resilient, she’s a work-

No matter what school Penn men’s soccer is facing on any giv-en week, you can bet there is one Quakers player that is at the top of everyone’s scouting report.

Senior forward Duke Lacroix is an off ensive force that can make even the soundest of defenses look woefully inadequate, and he will once again lead the Red and Blue in a campaign for a second con-secutive Ivy League title.

Lacroix enters his senior sea-son not only as the reigning Ivy League Off ensive Player of the Year, but also as the number one player in the conference accord-ing to TopDrawerSoccer.com. Lacroix will likely do battle with Princeton senior forward Cam-eron Porter — the only player in the Ancient Eight to outscore Lac-roix in 2013 — for the top spot on the Ivy League statistics sheet this year as well.

“Duke is a really dynamic of-fensive player for us,” coach Rudy Fuller said. “He has certainly progressed very well over his three years here, and this year he is going to need to be even bet-ter because teams are going to be on the lookout for him, and they know how important he is to this program.”

Ever since earning the honor of Ivy League Rookie of the Year his freshman year, Lacroix has moved up in the ranks of the collegiate soccer world, earning second-team All-Ivy honors his sopho-more campaign, before becoming a unanimous fi rst-team selection last year as Penn stormed its way to an Ivy title.

However, despite the accolades and triumphs Lacroix has had in

It looks like there won’t be a return trip to Iowa City after all.

Ten months ago, I fl ew out to Iowa to cover a game that turned out to be one of the most embarrassing contests in a season full of them for Penn basketball. Matched up against a Hawkeyes team that looked like it belonged in the nation’s top 10, the Red and Blue fell by 31, their largest mar-gin of defeat all year.

Perhaps luckily for my col-leagues and me, there will not be a sequel to that nonconference matchup in 2014-15. In fact, at this point, it doesn’t seem like Penn has anything close to a heavy-weight opponent on its schedule.

With two months remaining before the Quakers take the court in November, Penn Athletics re-leased the team’s full 28-game schedule as it prepares to kick off the fi fth full season of coach Je-rome Allen’s tenure. And the re-
