While gridlock in Washington continues to cripple countless legislative eff orts from across the political spectrum, Penn’s legislative agenda has been left to suff er.

One recent Penn-sponsored bill halted by par-tisan bickering is the Manufacturing Universities Act of 2014, which would give Penn $5 million per year for the next four years.

The University quickly endorsed the bill after it was introduced by U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Aug. 11. The bill would also allocate additional fund-ing to manufacturing engineering programs at 25 research universities across the country.

Although the bill has bipartisan backing and the active support of major research universities, including Penn, the prospects of the bill passing Congress have grown increasingly bleak.

“It is possible that something could happen during the lame duck session, but I kind of doubt

that,” said Associate Vice President of Penn’s Offi ce of Federal Rela-tions Bill Andresen, who is Penn’s chief lobbyist in Congress. “I think the odds of any signifi cant legislation passing this year are pretty small.”

For Penn, this could be problematic for pro-fessors who want to de-velop their research into a marketable product.

“One of the things that this manufacturing initiative would do is … provide funds to help translate the research go-ing on in universities into

MANUFACTURINGUNIVERSITIES

ACT OF 2014

The bipartisan bill was introduced on

Aug. 11.

It would give $5 million to Penn, as well as to 24 other universities, each

year for the next four years.

U. officials aren’t optimistic the bill

will pass this year.

OPINION

Presenting to the UN Human Rights Council

Convened for the United Na-tions Human Rights Council, dozens of world leaders took their seats as College sophomore Ben-jamin Fogel took the fl oor.

“It’s exciting to know that at this moment what you have to say is just as important as what any-one else has to say in that body,” Fogel said. “I put all my energy into making sure I did the best job possible.”

Fogel spent his summer in Geneva as an intern for United Nations Watch, a non-govern-

mental organization that monitors the UN’s performance. During his two-month stay, Fogel had the opportunity to track debates, take notes while the council was in session and attend side meetings where organizations and coun-tries began tackling world issues.

Despite the global nature of the council, Fogel spent much of his time researching the country on which he presented — Be-larus.

“[Belarus] doesn’t get a lot of media attention even though it’s the last dictatorship in Europe,” Fogel said. “Oftentimes the president of Belarus is quite open about his brutality and suppress-ing the political opposition, but it is rarely discussed.”

While in Geneva, Fogel also

conducted research funded by the Hassenfeld Foundation’s Social Research Grant through the Cen-ter for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships.

The piece, titled “Measured by It’s Own Yardstick: A Criti-cal Look at the Human Rights Council” compares the work of the council to the preceding Commission on Human Rights and analyzes whether the council lived up to the principles of its charter. It will be on display at the CURF research expo on Sept. 9.

“Something that really ex-cited me was performing actual research and being able to experi-ence what went on fi rsthand,” he said.

NEW APPS AROUND TOWN

FriendsyHangifyHumin Notice Seratis A social networking app that allows you to browse for potential friends or "more-than-friends" around campus. “We wanted to give people an easier way to branch out of their social circles without feeling any kind of pressure or discomfort," Princeton senior and co-founder Michael Pinsky explained. "So the idea we had back in 2012 was that you use your .edu address which immediately places you in a community — a network of people only from your school." Those who download the app indicate on other students' profiles whether they're looking for friends, hook-ups or dates. A new feature called Murmur allows users to anonymously compliment a classmate. Every-thing in the Murmur feed is filtered through for positivity. Pinsky and Princeton senior and co-founder Viadhy Murti plan to launch to a total of a quarter of a million students this fall, including at Penn.

Created with Penn students in mind, Hangify allows users to interactively keep track of events, meetings and social networking. College junior and co-founder Mervyn Arnold-Lyons believes that Hangify will be a good platform to coordinate really anything that people do in with other people. "We all live busy lives," he says. "We have student group events, we’re scheduling meetings, and within those groups maybe even rehearsals or getting some people together for a project, or trying to decide what to do on Friday night." Arnold-Ly-ons says he sees Hangify as a daily use app for discovering, organizing and sharing schedules.

An app that syncs your phone, Facebook and LinkedIn contacts with your calendar, email and voice-mail to give context to your contacts. It aims to help you find your contacts even if you can’t remember their names. Contacts can be searched for based on where they live, work or with whom they are friends. Cofounded by 2011 Wharton graduate Ankur Jain, Humin has had high ratings in the Apple app store over the past few weeks and has been featured by Business Insider, Businessweek and the Huffington Post.

A social networking app geared toward promoting positivity on campus. Cofounded by 2014 Wharton graduate Edward Lando and Engineer-ing sophomore Yagil Burowski, Notice allows students to anonymously post compliments and thoughts. “Since a lot of college students are under stress and have a lot of stuff going on in their lives … we wanted to create a place where people could share how they’re doing, how they’re feeling, what’s happening and they could do that anonymously and wouldn’t have to be worried about their name," Lando explained. "The conversation wouldn’t be about their names but rather about what’s actually happen-ing.”

Seratis is messaging application that "enables doctors, nurses and other health care providers to communi-cate with each other via text, images and videos,” according to its website. Seratis is a startup cofounded by Wharton senior Divya Dhar and Wharton MBA student Lane Rettig. The app aggregates each patient's health care providers for easy reference by other health care professionals who interact with the patient.

Vice provost for education to step down in spring

Vice Provost for Education Andrew Binns will step down from his position after this year, Provost Vincent Price said on Thursday at a meeting with Dai-ly Pennsylvanian staff .

Price said he plans to assem-ble a search committee to iden-tify a replacement for Binns later this year. This search will join those for two new deans — for the Law School and the School of Engineering and Applied Sci-ence — on the provost’s agenda.

“I’m confi dent we’ll have a great replacement there — for the same reasons that I’m confi -dent we’ll do well with the dean searches,” Price said. “Andy’s been so eff ective that I think people will be keenly interested in stepping forward to occupy that role.”

Now in his eighth year as vice provost for education, Binns oversaw Penn’s reaccreditation process last year.

“He had no intention of serv-ing for eight years, but he’s been so good at his job that for the last couple years I’ve been pleading with him to stay on,” Price said.

The vice provost for educa-tion is responsible for oversee-ing educational programs and University-wide educational

policies that govern teachers and students at Penn, according to the Provost’s website. Price added that the position is sig-nifi cant, as the vice provost for education works closely with the graduate and undergraduate deans as well as the vice provost for university life.

Binns was out of the offi ce

and not immediately available for comment on Thursday.

Correction: A previous ver-sion of this article erroneously stated that Binns oversaw the search for new school deans. In fact, the vice provost for edu-cation does not oversee dean searches. The DP regrets the er-ror.

Let us introduce ourselves: We are the Penn Demo-crats, the most

active political group on campus. Each semester, we host a variety of Democratic speakers, campaign for can-didates and hold issue advo-cacy events — all promoting our beliefs and our political party.

Because it’s such an important year politically, we’re making our voices heard across campus. Each week this semester, the Penn Dems will publish a column sharing our views about various issues, candidates, campaigns and more. As you may know, we are currently in an election year, so incum-bents and challengers across the country are working to be elected as congresspeople, senators and, as in our great state of Pennsylvania, gov-ernors.

That’s right folks, on Nov. 4 a governor will be elected right in our own backyard (not literally; we’ve all seen what happens in some of Penn’s backyards, and it’s not pretty). Personally, we’re hoping that Democrat Tom Wolf unseats the incumbent, Tom Corbett — but more on that later.

We’ll get into the politi-cal nitty gritty in later weeks, but for now we’ll explain why we’re Democrats and why you should care. To put it simply, as we’ve grown up, we’ve decided that the beliefs and values of the Democratic Party are the ones with which we most strongly identify.

As millennial college students, we feel responsible for helping to put the United States on a strong, progres-sive path. To us, this includes a government that fulfills certain responsibilities to all its citizens.

We believe that every citizen of this country should have access to comprehen-sive health care coverage. We maintain that no child should go without a meal, nor any veteran without a home.

We think that people should be free to marry whom they love, regard-less of their sexual orienta-tion. We want women to be treated equally. They should see equal pay for equal work and should have freedom to control their own bodies.

We feel that immigration reform is necessary because the United States has always been and must continue to be the land of opportunity.

We want our planet to be clean, for us and for our chil-dren. And we want to be able to pay for college without having crippling debt that we carry for the rest of our lives.

These issues don’t only affect those of us who read The New York Times every day. They affect us all.

Believe us, we’ve seen our friends’ eyes roll as soon as we bring up politics. We know you’re tired of our political Facebook statuses, and we’re aware that talking about the Affordable Care Act is nowhere near as in-teresting as talking about the Chancellor day party. But these things matter. Political issues affect us as students and as future members of the workforce; they affect our

parents, particularly as they get closer and closer to the age of Social Security; and they will affect our children in the future.

We all share the respon-sibility to care, and to vote for the people who will rep-resent our values.

Our members did not all have the exact same up-bringing. We’re from across the country, across religions, across races and across so-cioeconomic backgrounds. We weren’t all raised as Democrats, and we don’t have identical political views. But we all know one thing: The way of the future is progressive — moving for-ward, not back.

If you agree with us, come join us at an event. If you think we’re wrong, leave a comment on here or at penndems.org. All we ask is that, as we enter into these crucial months, you stay in-terested and informed. We can’t wait to continue this discussion with you.

Sincerely,The Penn Democrats

Two weeks before we stepped on campus, Under the Button introduced the Class

of 2018 to the rest of Penn. Or rather, they introduced the most vocal members of our Facebook group via an article called “The Top 10 Most Unforgivable Penn ’18 Posts.”

The article itself was hilari-ous, mainly because the posts were downright obnoxious. In the group’s short life span, there have been a lot of unfortunate moments, from the guy who posted a photo of a girl’s chest with the caption “Penn :D” to the fights that broke out over every-thing from women’s rights to the 4.5 credit limit for first semester College students (to everyone who wanted to petition the Col-lege to let us take more courses: Please, slow down). Even the Accepted! Class of 2018 Tum-blr, a blog chronicling the most heinous posts in accepted stu-dent Facebook groups, gave us a special shoutout, saying, “Penn’s definitely got the weirdest class.”

While the UTB article’s gotten a lot of campus-wide at-tention — a sophomore friend

quickly texted me after the article went up, “You don’t post on the Facebook page, right?” — in the group itself, many people have expressed regret. A few commented that they were just “over-eager and excited” when they posted, something all of us can relate to. As the article said, “What you write on the internet lives on forever.” A lot of people in my class are realizing the truth in those words.

As fun as it is to call people out for being jerks online, it’s time to put an end to this — not just ridiculing the Facebook group, but relying on it at all. Just like everyone knows that one girl who looks nothing like her pro-file picture, it’s difficult to gauge someone’s true personality on-line. We told each other stories, we made each other laugh and cry, but the Facebook message you sent that guy three months ago is not a proper introduction. I learned more about my room-mate in the first five minutes of meeting with her than I did from weeks of emailing her. When it’s time for face-to-face contact, all social media preconceptions are off. Let’s not act on judgments

formed before we even met each other.

What’s more, many of us have changed since we were ac-cepted. I’m not the same person I was in December; hell, I’m not even the same person I was in April. We shouldn’t hold each other accountable for the mis-takes we made in high school. For some of us, that includes Facebook posts.

That kid who posted a baby photo of himself in a Penn one-sie? Maybe he’ll be your best friend. The girl with the Pretty Little Liars obsession? She could be your lifeline in Math 104 (and hey, don’t be hating on PLL). While I rarely posted on the Facebook group, I empathize with those who did. We’ve all acted stupidly before, and it’s dif-ficult to confront our own digital word vomit.

I’m grateful to the Face-book group for the connections it gave me. I bonded with a girl from Texas over our mutual love for puns and inspirational quotes. I cultivated enough in-side jokes with a guy from Vir-ginia to fill a book. But as fun as it was to message these people, I

didn’t actually know them until we sat together on a Hill patio during NSO. Online conversa-tions are easier to strike up and less awkward than in-person ones, but they’re no substitute for the real thing.

Class of 2018, let’s stop as-suming we know someone based on a post they spent 30 seconds writing. After all, we’re college kids now. As for the rest of Penn, give us a break. You too were young and foolish once. Now stop trying to mooch off our meal swipes.

ANOTHER LOOK | The archetype of the poor college student is a destructive misconception

Stop saying you’re poor when you’re not

CARTOON

PENN DEMS is dedicated to promoting democratic values through dialogue and action both on and off campus. Our first GBM is Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in JMHH 370. For more information, visit penndems.org or email [email protected].

GUEST COLUMN BY PENN DEMS

This stuff matters

If you’re like me, you’ve heard your not-poor friends use the phrase “I’m poor” a lot. I’m

guilty of it too. I’ve explained to my friends that I have to take SEPTA rather than a cab because I’m “poor” or that I can’t go to a concert because it’s $45 and “I’m poor.” Somehow, the glib use of this phrase has slipped into the Penn vernacular, and it’s a bad habit that we all need to stop.

The truth is, as a population, Penn students are not poor at all. A glance at our financial aid sta-tistics shows that 55 percent of students at Penn come from fam-ilies who are deemed capable of paying sticker price for this uni-versity, about $60,000 per year. This majority of Penn families earns over $175,000 a year, put-ting them somewhere in the top 5 percent of earners in the United States.

For comparison, the median household income in Penn’s ZIP code is about $22,000 a year. Most West Philadelphians would merit full financial aid at Penn (awarded to most students whose families earn an annual income of less than $40,000). According to Penn stats, the Class of 2015 has 165 students who have been awarded full financial aid. This means only one percent of the class falls within the economic range of our West Philadelphia neighbors.

So why do we think we’re poor when we’re not? The arche-type of the poor college student remains influential, and it’s one we should be embarrassed to maintain. College students are, on the whole, the group least likely to experience — or to have experienced — real poverty in their lifetimes.

In general, we are much more likely to be rich people temporar-ily occupying the slightly-less-comfortable space between being the total financial responsibility of our parents and being recipi-ents of our own personal salaries.

The state of being a college student might better be described as the poorest a person who has never been poor will ever feel. But that’s not quite as catchy a phrase as “poor college student.”

Though this habit of hyper-bolizing our own lack of cash may seem innocent enough, it runs the very serious risk of en-abling the delusion that we are living at the bottom of the eco-nomic ladder. It entertains the idea that college is somehow the floor in terms of poverty and

hardship.Last summer I worked at

an organization called LIFT in Philadelphia, and every day I spoke to people struggling to pay their rent or to find a second minimum-wage job just to make ends meet.

Firstly, calling ourselves poor as Penn students is distasteful be-cause it’s insulting to the struggle of real people who live just a few blocks away in West Phila-delphia, a poor neighborhood in a city with a huge poverty prob-lem.

Secondly, it’s insidious be-

cause many of us will go on to take up influential positions in the world, and it is not only im-portant for our clarity of thinking to be able to distinguish tempo-rary discomfort from poverty, but it is also morally imperative that we see this distinction so that we can work to improve the real problem of poverty in America.

This is not to say that every college student, even every Penn student, has never tasted eco-nomic hardship. A small percent-age of Penn students really do

struggle financially, and that’s all the more reason for us to start taking the word “poor” a little more seriously.

To start with, I think we need to clarify a few things. Poor is not taking SEPTA. Poor is not going to Chipotle because Sweetgreen charges $12 for a salad. Poor is not having to use your parent’s credit card when your debit card overdraws. And going to an in-stitution where 55 percent of the students pay $60,000 a year for a bachelor’s degree is certainly not an experience of poverty. So let’s all stop calling ourselves poor, because there’s a difference between “poor” and “college stu-dent,” and it’s an important one to recognize.

A crop of new professors will join the School of Arts and Sciences for the academic year. The school has appointed 22 new members to its faculty across several departments.

Gareth Roberts and Meredith Tamminga join the Linguistics Department as assistant pro-fessors. Roberts examines the evolution of languages within societies and was sought out by the Penn Evolution Cluster, who were interested in an assistant professor who studied “evo-lution, broadly interpreted.” Roberts has several aspirations while at Penn concerning his re-search. “My biggest aspiration is to develop a real experimen-tal science of language change,” Roberts said.

When asked about his hopes for the upcoming school year, Roberts was enthused by the at-

mosphere Penn provides. “Hav-ing spent close to a decade in other people’s labs, I think I’m most excited by the opportunity to establish my own lab,” Rob-erts said. “[But] I’m [also] very excited by the opportunity Penn gives me for encounters with other thinkers, across a broad range of disciplines, and the po-tential for these encounters to take my research in directions I had not imagined.”

New professors in the Earth and Environmental Science Department include associ-ate David Goldsby, assistant Lauren Sallan and Reto Gieré, who joins Penn from Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in Germany. Gieré has a Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and focuses on research concerning the use of mineralogy to combat the deterioration of the environ-ment.

Additions to the Near East-ern Languages and Civilizations Department are assistants Isabel Cranz and Huda Fakhreddine. Cranz has a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and her focus is in biblical studies. Fakhreddine acquired a doctorate from Indiana University and studies Arabic po-etry and literature.

Rahul Mukherjee joins the English Department as the Dick Wolf Assistant Professor of Television and Media Studies. His focus is interdisciplinary and focuses on technologies in media. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Heather Williams is the Presidential Professor of Af-ricana Studies. Williams last taught at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She has a Ph.D. from Yale University and focuses on the history of slav-ery in the American South, re-

unification of enslaved families across time and patterns of im-migration in her home country of Jamaica.

Steven Weitzman has been appointed as the Abraham M. Ellis Professor of Hebrew and Semitic Languages and Lit-erature in the Department of Religious Studies. Weitzman comes from a teaching position at Stanford University and has a

Ph.D. from Harvard University. He studies the history of Jewish culture and scripture.

Errol Lord and Quayshawn Spencer are new hires for the Philosophy Department as as-sistant professors. Lord has a Ph.D. from Princeton Univer-sity and studies reasoning and the philosophy of the mind. Spencer, who joins the faculty in the spring semester, focuses

on philosophies of race. Spen-cer received his doctorate at Princeton University.

Other additions to the school faculty include Jessica Anna, Johannes Burge, Hsiao-wen Chang , Megan Kassabaum, Eleni Katifori , B. Harun Küçük, Michele Margolis, Greta Pano-va, Gregory Ridgeway and Jorge Téllez. All are assistant professors.

The Houston Hall fair, sponsored by a $1,000 donation to PUHC from Penn’s Year of Health initiative, brought together a variety of health groups, including the Urban Nutri-tion Initiative, Minorities in Nursing Organization and the Health Food Truck Initiative, a relatively new student organization, to present to new students about opportunities on campus.

The goal of the fair, PUHC Chair and College junior Julie Bittar said, was to “increase [the] visibility” of health groups on campus.

The fair was “a showcase of in-formation you get in different ways, like information on what to eat, on how to eat healthily and on what groups you can join to continue your

health education,” Bittar explained.The Penn Vegan Society, Penn in

Medical Missions and the Wharton Undergraduate Health Club were among the clubs present at the fair, which doubled as a food showcase — there were falafel, hummus and

grilled cheese stations, as well as a Schmear It bagel station.

Schmear It provided bagels and cream cheese for the event on be-half of the Healthy Food Trucks Initiative, a student organization founded only a year ago by College

and Wharton senior Robert Hsu and Wharton junior Jessica Chen.

“Our goal is to work with food trucks to create a healthier food truck eating environment. We help the three trucks we’ve partnered with create healthy promotional material and help them host interactive events like this one to showcase their food to customers,” Hsu explained.

Penn’s chapter of Active Minds, a mental health awareness group, as well as representatives of Counsel-ing and Psychological Services were also in attendance.

“We just want students to know that they are not alone and that’s the message we’re pushing for at this fair,” Amanda Martinez, a Whar-ton sophomore working the Active Minds booth, said. “We hope that they learn more about how serious mental health issues are and that it could happen to anyone, especially at an environment like Penn.”

Bittar hopes that last night’s fair will become an annual event at Penn.

commercial products,” Penn’s Di-rector of Research Initiatives Marc Rigas said. Federal funding initia-tives, like this bill, he explained, “help our faculty members iden-tify companies or entrepreneurs to work with to help them take their research or to do more pilot testing to develop prototype devices.”

“Universities like Penn are the places that generate all of the really new knowledge and cut-ting edge technologies,” Rigas said. Federal funding “is huge for Penn,” he added.

Congressional inactivity has become the norm in recent years. The current Congress is passing laws at almost half the rate of the previous Congress, which ended up passing the least amount of laws since World War II. Penn has also actively lobbied for issues such as patent reform and immigration re-form, which have both been halted by Congressional gridlock.

Penn isn’t alone in its frustra-tion with Capitol Hill. According to a Gallup Poll taken in early Au-gust, a dismal 13 percent of Amer-

icans approve of Congress.With the 2014-midterm elec-

tions approaching, voters have the ability to shake up the congressio-nal landscape, evidenced by the real possibility that Republicans could gain control of the Senate. Regardless, Penn isn’t anticipating

any surge in bipartisanship after November.

“My expectation is that the House stays Republican and the Senate can sort of go either way,” said Andresen, who remains pes-simistic about Penn’s legislative agenda even after the election.

“The reality is that however it turns out, the Senate will be more closely divided after the election then it is today, so we’ll just have to wait and see how it plays out and how we best engage to ad-vance the issues that we are con-cerned about.”

Fogel left the council inspired by the importance of learning about world events not through the media, but through real life experiences.

“[Before] I was given the oppor-tunity to read a textbook or watch the

news and see what other people have to say on an issue,” Fogel said. “Now I have the opportunity to say I actu-ally lived it and say for myself what’s going on.”

Fogel’s journey to Geneva actu-ally began years before his fl ight in May. A Philadelphia native, he grew

up visiting places that “played a fun-damental role in shaping the U.S.,” which ultimately lead to an interest in politics, international aff airs and human rights.

As a high school student, he discovered internship opportunities with United Nations Watch, know-ing it would provide a less traditional summer experience, but he had to wait until he was a rising sophomore in college to apply.

“I really wanted to do more than make photocopies and run from of-fi ce to offi ce making phone calls,” Fogel said.

An aspiring psychology and his-tory double major, Fogel hopes to attend law school after graduation and continue using research to create global impact.

“It’s important to get out there, get your hands dirty and see for yourself what’s going on,” he said.

There was a pesky upset try from Navy that fell short against nation-al powerhouse Ohio State.

Heck, even locally, FCS (for-merly I-AA) darling Villanova took on Syracuse and nearly beat the ACC program, losing in double overtime after missing a 25-yard fi eld goal at the end of regulation.

But Penn didn’t play. Neither did any of the other seven schools that make up the Ivy League.

Don’t expect to see Ancient Eight football next week either. Or even the week after that.

The issue at hand isn’t the fact that Penn — or the Ivy League for that matter — doesn’t have a nationally revered football pro-gram: the conference gave up on that the minute it formed 58 years ago.

The problem is that the Ivies have completely walled them-selves from the rest of college foot-ball, including the rest of the FCS — of which it is a member.

The Ivy League begins its regu-lar season three weeks after every-

one else for the simple reason that it doesn’t see itself like everyone else.

And that would be fi ne if it didn’t, you know, play everyone else.

Most of Penn or any Ivy team’s schedule consists of the seven games it plays within the confer-ence. That surely won’t be chang-ing any time soon.

But three games per season, a solid 30 percent of each school’s schedule, is played against teams that begin their season in the sur-prisingly football-friendly month of August instead of late Septem-ber.

So in a few weeks when the Ivy teams actually take the fi eld, the opponents on the other side will be battle-tested, having gone through 2-3 games and ironed out the kinks in their respective systems.

The Ivy teams tend to hold their own in those week one games — the conference went 6-2 to open last season. But facing teams with more game experience provides more injury risk. Furthermore, playing teams like Villanova that are at a higher level can present more than a reasonable challenge

and simply not give you usable ex-perience moving forward.

So how can this be fi xed? Well, other than Penn fi nally taking Vil-lanova off its schedule (a debate for another day), it’s time for the Ivy League to come back to the college football universe and begin play earlier.

Even if the conference was con-sidering such a change, it is doubt-ful that it would move all the way up to the end of August like other schools, but moving the schedule up a week or two would make a diff erence.

It would allow for Ivy schools to have more fl exibility in their schedules, either by adding a game or — the more likely possibility — creating a bye week.

While there would continue to be the issue of Ivy schools not playing in the postseason, it would be a step forward to making Ivy League football more relevant in the FCS.

match is Sept. 5 against Mount St Mary’s — Cooper is already thinking about her legacy with the program.

“I want to leave the program in a better place than when I came in whatever way I can,” she said. “If that means mental-ity wise, or anything I can do day-to-day in practice to help improve the team.”

According to her teammates and coaches, a big part of this legacy is Cooper’s role as team jokester.

“I like to provide some comic relief,” she said with a laugh.

This humor helps keep her teammates sane during practices that can become quite intense.

“Our coach is fairly serious

and practice can be pretty high intensity,” junior back Shannon Hennessy said. “But when Coo-per cracks a joke or does some-thing outrageous, Darren can’t help but smile and laugh.”

Despite Cooper’s lighter side, she is serious about embracing her role as one of the team’s three captains.

“Seeing my role grow from freshman year goofi ng around all the time to becoming more of a leadership type position has been really cool to see how I can impact the younger kids,” she said. “That is really important to me.”

She draws much of her inspi-ration as captain from the play-ers in the Class of 2012.

“When I was a freshman I had a lot of people go out of their way and talk to me, which

was really huge,” Cooper said. “Something that’s really unique about it is that we’re all pretty much on the same page from freshman to senior year.”

In the two weeks that the team has been practicing togeth-er on campus this year, Cooper has already gone out of her way to welcome the team’s eight freshmen to their new team and incorporate them into the Red and Blue’s dynamic.

“It’s kind of like everything comes full circle,” she said.

But Cooper hasn’t just stopped with the freshmen. She’s admired by Penn’s return-ees for far more than just her quick wit.

“She’s an amazing leader on and off the fi eld,” Hennessy said.

“I trust her completely in soc-cer and in life.”

Penn women’s soccer came up just short of matching its male counterpart’s Ivy League championship in 2013, fi nishing second behind only Harvard. However, the Quakers provided plenty of great moments en route to a 12-1-4 overall record. Let’s continue our recap of fall 2013 by looking at fi ve of their best:

1. Taking down BrownThe Quakers’ best game on the

fi eld also came on the day that was most indicative of the mixed emotions that the season brought as a whole. On Nov. 2, the Red and Blue went on the road to take on Brown, one of their top Ivy League contenders. Penn came out of the gate fi ring, with then-junior Haley Cooper scor-ing in just the second minute of play. The Quakers failed to score again, but as it had just about all season, Penn’s defense stood tall, preventing the Bears from scor-ing and preserving a hard-earned 1-0 victory. Unfortunately for the

Quakers, Harvard had clinched the Ivy championship on the same day, but coach Darren Am-brose would not let the disap-pointment taint what the victory meant for the team.

“We all want to win the Ivy League, but if that’s the only rea-son why kids play and compete then they’re going to be disap-pointed a lot,” he said. “It’s also about who they are as a team and their enjoyment of playing with each other.”

2. Finishing strong“I thought we were terrible in

the fi rst half. I just don’t think we played well.”

Those were Ambrose’s thoughts on the Quakers’ performance in the fi rst half of their Senior Day match on Nov. 8 against Princeton, the fi nal game of their season. However, Penn erased all memory of its poor start in the second half. In a season dominated by defense and goalkeeping, the off ense stole the show against its conference ri-val, producing two quick second- half goals. Although they were snubbed from the NCAA Tourna-ment, the team’s seniors went out on top at Penn Park.

3. Setting the toneThe Quakers set the tone

for the rest of the season in their season opener on Sept. 6 against St. Peter’s. Penn’s of-fense broke out for four goals, and that would prove to be more than enough. Meanwhile, then-sophomore goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli maintained a clean sheet in her collegiate debut to give the Red and Blue a 4-0 victory. It would be a sign of things to come, as Terilli would go on to achieve fi rst-team All-Ivy hon-ors in 2013.

4. Taming the DragonsIt was a defensive battle

against neighborhood rival Drex-el on Sept. 13. Despite several close calls, the game remained scoreless with just a few minutes left in the second overtime ses-sion. However, then-senior Kerry Scalora parked a free kick from outside the box in the upper right corner to clinch the win for the Quakers.

5. Oh captain, my captainWith just 21 seconds remaining

in regulation, the Quakers were re-lying on Scalora — their team cap-tain — to convert a penalty kick to salvage a 1-1 tie on Oct. 26 against Yale. She did just that, keeping the Quakers’ Ivy-title chances alive for the time being.

enough.“I ultimately quit because I

no longer felt that being a part of this volleyball team was ben-efi cial to me,” she said. “I was just unhappy and after trying to make it work with coach and the other girls, I decided to leave, to

make myself happy.”Losing Winfi eld gives the

Quakers yet another hole to fi ll in their roster as the start of the season approaches. Outside hit-ter Rachel Baader was the only one of Winfi eld’s classmates to receive signifi cant playing time in 2013, appearing in 59 sets over 18 matches in her own right.

Untested freshman Kendall Covington and junior Michellie McDonald-O’Brien could po-tentially receive some action alongside reliable seniors Taylor Smith and Kendall Turner.

No matter what direction Carr takes her lineup, it will be key to minimize the loss of Win-fi eld lest her squad take a step back.

Penn volleyball will have to compete this year without former middle blocker Arielle Winfield. Despite posting strong statistics last year, the sophomore has opted to leave volleyball in an attempt to walk onto the track team as a jumper.

Junior goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli will look to replicate her first-team All-Ivy performance from last season in an effort to get the Red and Blue over the hump and secure their first Ivy title since the 2010 campaign.

For the second straight year, Penn volleyball finished over .500 in the Ancient Eight during the 2013 season, turning in a solid performance but unable to top Ivy powerhouse Yale. Newcomers like Arielle Winfield and Rachel Baad-er mixed well with upperclassmen like Susan Stuecheli and Dani Shepherd, helping to produce our top five moments from last season.

1. Princeton paybackAfter losing to Princeton in their

first Ivy match, the Quakers were out for revenge. That revenge was served rather swiftly as Penn won in straight sets, going 25-19, 25-20, 25-22. It was one of Penn’s more well-rounded efforts, getting eight kills apiece from four different athletes. Shepherd led the squad in both service aces (five) and digs (16).

2. A home sweepThere is nothing better than

sweeping conference rivals and Penn was able to do that against its Empire State foes, Cornell and Columbia. The Quakers were taken to the brink by the Big Red, pulling out a five-set win, before beating Columbia in straight sets. Senior Kristen Etterbeek put up big numbers on the weekend, leading Penn with 31 kills while also contributing 21 digs during the two matches.

3. A day of close calls Penn was still in the nonconfer-

ence portion of its schedule when it hosted the Crowne Plaza Phila-delphia West Penn Invitational at the Palestra. The Quakers fell in their only match on the first day of invitational — in straight sets to American — before facing Temple and Weber State on day two. What ensued were two straight matches that went the distance … and two Penn victories.

In both matches, the squad lost two of the first three sets before winning the final two sets. Helping to fill in for Shepherd, who was in-

jured at the time, then-sophomore Alexis Genske put together two strong matches, adding 51 digs to Penn’s winning effort.

4. Coming back vs. Delaware In early September, the Red and Blue were still on the hunt for their first victory of the year when Dela-ware came to town. On a Tuesday evening at the Palestra, the Quak-ers fell down two sets to none be-fore their game really got going. Penn won the third set somewhat comfortably, 25-19, before two nail biting sets barely went its way. The win was a catalyst for a squad that won a total of seven five-set matches.

5. A solid splitLast year, the Ivy League

seemed to be Yale … and every-one else. When Penn traveled to Brown and Yale in mid-October, the Quakers put together a strong result, taking a set off the Ivy-lead-ing Elis before sweeping Brown in straight sets. Stuecheli led the way against Brown, putting up 15 kills a day after adding 10 kills against the Bulldogs.

former goalkeeper who pays much more than lip service to the idea that defense requires a team-wide commitment to defending at every position. Perhaps, then, the fact that Ambrose’s team defies stereotypes when it comes to the offensive-defensive-stardom dichotomy should come as no surprise. And indeed, this season the Red and Blue will have a couple bona fide stars on the

backline and in goal.To start, the Quakers return junior

Caroline Dwyer, the defending (no pun intended) Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year. Her performance last season has earned her a spot on the watch list for the Missouri Ath-letic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy, which is annually awarded to the top male and female NCAA soccer play-ers.

Meanwhile, junior keeper Kalijah Terilli received some national recog-nition of her own this summer with an invitation to the U.S. U-23 Na-tional Team camp, an honor given to just four goalies in the country.

If this weren’t enough star power for Penn’s defense, the squad has managed to add further talent to its backline with the transfer of junior Paige Lombard from Miama (Fla.). Lombard recorded nine starts in her sophomore campaign and her ACC experience makes her a welcome ad-dition to the roster.

If there is such a thing as a star-studded defense, the Quakers have one this season. Of course, the key to Ambrose’s system is that defense isn’t about stars, primarily because it isn’t about individuals — again, it’s a team-wide commitment at every position.

Though a couple of Penn de-fenders have perhaps received more recognition than usual, the Red and Blue will ultimately play great de-fense because their talent is placed in the context of a defensive-minded, team-oriented culture that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts. The Quakers have ranked

among the top two of Ivy League teams for goals allowed per game for four consecutive seasons. I expect this season to be no different.

The Quakers have done virtually everything except win it all three of those four seasons, narrowly missing championships each year since their last title in 2010. Since Penn’s ambi-tion is to take home an Ivy title, let’s compare the Red and Blue against previous championship winning teams.

In the past four years, the Ivy League title-winning squad has yielded an average of 6.8 goals in conference play. Over that span, Penn has averaged just 5.8 goals against and never conceded more than seven goals in a single Ivy season. In other words, the Quakers have brought a championship quality defense to the table each of these seasons.

However, the same title win-ning squads have also averaged 17 goals in Ivy League play, while the Red and Blue have recorded an av-erage of just 10.5 scores over that span. The lowest offensive output among these title-winning squads was Penn’s 2010 campaign, which logged 12 goals on its way to a con-ference championship. By contrast, last year’s team scored nine times in Ivy play.

The good news to be gleaned from this analysis for the Quakers is that they are very likely to be no more than three additional scores away from winning some Ivy hard-ware at this year’s end. The bad news is that a three-goal increase would represent a 33 percent improvement on last year’s offensive production in conference play, and the Red and Blue would need to do it having graduated last year’s leading scorer, Kerry Scalora.

As strange as it sounds, this team needs a couple of garden variety, goal-scoring offensive powerhouses to reaffirm stereotypes and over-shadow its defensive stars. I suspect the likes of Dwyer and Terilli won’t mind the lack of attention — espe-cially when they’re hoisting an Ivy League championship trophy.

Most long-standing sports institutions are resistant to change. Whether it is Major

League Baseball refusing to address time of game issues or the NCAA re-sisting even the most painfully logical changes to its outdated system, change is continually feared by the sports es-tablishment.

And while there have been some strong changes to the Ivy League over time — including concussion protocol — there are still some tweaks that need to be made to the Ancient Eight.

No, this is not about adding a post-season tournament for Ivy basketball. This is about making necessary chang-es to Ivy League football.

You may have noticed that college football started around the country this weekend. There was Johnny Manziel’s replacement throwing for 511 yards in his fi rst start against an SEC defense.

Penn volleyball will look to start this sea-son off strong after a 2013 performance that can be best described as “up-and-down.”

Though the Quakers reeled off six straight wins in Ivy play, they still fi nished far beyond champion Yale, which looks as strong as ever. Stars like Dani Shepherd, the two-time Ivy Defensive Player of the Year, have graduated. Clearly, the road ahead is tough.

The Quakers will also have to move forward in 2014 without one of their best players, sophomore Arielle Winfi eld, which makes the journey that much tougher.

A revelation at middle blocker as a fresh-man, Winfi eld has opted to leave the team in pursuit of a career as a jumper on the track and fi eld squad.

“I really love both sports, but I defi nitely think that walking onto the track team is the better decision for me,” she said. “I can still be a high level student athlete but now I can do it in a more positive environment.”

When she fi rst arrived on campus last season, Winfi eld was expected to be the centerpiece of a recruiting class assembled by coach Kerry Carr to dethrone the Bull-dogs.

Carr inserted Winfi eld into the team’s starting lineup immediately in 2013. While it was an honor, it came with a caveat. As competitive as the team is, veterans were not about to surrender their court time to Win-fi eld without a fi ght.

Despite the competition, Winfi eld showed plenty of potential in her initial campaign as she saw action in 61 sets over the course of 15 matches. In that time, Win-fi eld accumulated 90 kills and 50 blocks.

These numbers, though, were limited due to minor injuries Winfi eld sustained throughout the season.

But injuries weren’t the only frustration that she had to deal with in 2013.

“When I fi rst arrived here there was a bit of tension with my being a freshman that started immediately,” Winfi eld said. “We were all very competitive and all wanted the leadership role on the team, and coach was especially hard on me because she wanted me to step up and lead right away.”

After a certain point, Winfi eld had had

The notion of a star-studded defense is almost an oxymoron, especially in soccer.

Though coaches, players, sports writers and fans pay lip service to the notion that “defense wins championships,” reverence for stars is generally reserved for those whose outstanding individual per-formances are a bit more, well, quantifi able.

At the end of the day, the box score has no statistic to demon-strate the brilliance of an individual

defender’s play, and what isn’t evi-dent in a box score is rarely appre-ciated by fans — especially Ameri-can fans, being the stat-hungry consumers they are, not to mention journalists and even some coaches.

Of course, this has never been the case for Penn women’s soc-cer coach Darren Ambrose, a

Cooper looks to go out on top

Winfield leaves volleyball for track

In a program as steeped in success as Penn women’s soc-cer, it is hard to single out any

one player as the best, or most important. Yet it is hard to imag-ine where the Quakers would be without one player in particular: Haley Cooper .

Last year, the senior back from Palatine, Ill. started 13 games and netted the game-win-ning goal in Penn’s victory over Brown last November.

Over her three years with the Red and Blue, the veteran has

established herself as a ground-ing presence for the team, both in the backfi eld and in day-to-day life. In the words of coach Darren Ambrose, “she has al-ways been kind of the glue on and off the fi eld.”

Penn-Villanova has been one of the Quakers’ early season matchups in recent years and tends to occur with the Wildcats having played 2-3 more games than the Red and Blue. Given the additional opportunities to gel as a team and gain experience, Villanova holds an edge.
