Cost of Penn education to rise Quad
dining to
expand
Despite tuition hike, Penn
plans to expand financial aid
BY MK KLEVA
Assistant News Editor
Although the cost of going to Penn surpassed the $50,000 mark last year, it’s about
to go even higher.
Undergraduate tuition, fees, and room
and board will likely total to $53,976 for 201112 — a 3.9 percent increase from this year’s
$51,944.
This increase — like last year’s 3.9 percent rise — signifies the second-smallest
raise in tuition in 43 years, Vice President
for Budget and Management Analysis Bonnie Gibson said, only behind the 3.8 percent
hike in 2009-2010.
The increase in total charges was approved at Thursday’s Budget and Finance
Trustee Meeting and is waiting to be approved by the full board at Friday’s Stated
Meeting.
Despite the tuition hike, Penn plans to expand its financial aid budget by 7.7 percent,
or $10.7 million, to a total of $161 million — an
all-time high, Director of Student Financial

Beautiful architecture, air-conditioning
and easy access to Spring Fling are all reasons freshmen revere the Quadrangle — but
dining has never been a reason to live there.
That’s about to change.
Thursday, a project was approved to will
transform McClelland Hall into a dining area
capable of seating more than 100 students.
The initiative was approved alongside a
proposal to revamp 1920 Commons. The combined initiatives will cost $8 million.
Construction on the two projects will start
this summer to “improve the quality of the
student experience,” Vice President for Business Services Marie Witt said. She added that
the Quad expansion should be completed by
September, while the 1920 Commons project
is slated to be ready next fall.
Witt said the plans for McClelland were
based on feedback from students. It was clear
that “more substantial options” for food were
needed in the Quad.
The cafe will feature sushi, salads, yogurt,
fruit, a hummus bar and a waffle station, Business Services spokeswoman Barbara LeaKruger wrote in an e-mail. In addition, there
will be made-to-order omelettes, crepes and
pasta.
The new dining space will be built in the
current lobby and lounges in McClelland,
while the information desk will be relocated
to accommodate the facilities.
Like McClelland Express — which offers
to-go options and convenience products — the
new cafe will accept both meal swipes and
dining dollars from students.
Although a fully-fledged dining hall was out
of the question because of space constraints
and the difficulty of installing an appropriSEE DINING PAGE 6

Largest-ever donation to SEAS
helped create research center
BY AMY BERGER
Staff Writer
The Krishna P. Singh Center for Nanotechnology officially broke ground on
Thursday.
The $80 million center, equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities, will provide
“a home for student-related activities
relating to nanotechnology,” said Dawn
Bonnell, director of the Nanotechnology
Department.
Penn President Amy Gutmann joined
Krishna Singh, who donated $20 million
to fund the building, on site at 32nd and
Walnut streets to mark the start of construction. Singh holds both a master’s
degree and doctorate in mechanical engineering from Penn, received in 1969
and 1972, respectively.
Singh, who is the founder and chief
executive officer of Holtec International
Inc. — a company that develops technology to increase the amount of fuel
rods that can be stored in nuclear power
plants — made the largest-ever single
gift to the School and Engineering and
Applied Science.

Personal experiences
inspired many to
join ‘The Vagina
Monologues’
BY EILLIE ANZILOTTI
Assistant News Editor
For the women involved,
this weekend’s The Vagina
Monologues is more than just
a show.
Although the episodic play
by Eve Ensler is performed every year on campus, it’s never
exactly the same. The personal
stories of the women behind
the production transform The
Vagina Monologues from a
rehearsed play to a unique experience for every woman who
takes part, College sophomore
Isabel Friedman said.
“The show changes dramatically from year to year, based on
the women who are performing
the monologues,” she added. A
member of the cast this year,
Friedman first got involved
with The Vagina Monologues
last year, working on crew.
While Friedman has been
part of the production since

Glandt extends
stay to 2015
SEAS dean has
overseen the doubling
of Engineering School
research funding
BY MK KLEVA
Assistant News Editor
S c ho ol of E ng i ne er i ng
and Applied Science Dean
Eduardo Glandt has agreed
to extend his ter m at the
University through June 30,
2015.
The news was announced
Thursday by Penn President
Amy Gutmann and Provost
Vince Price.
Glandt — who has been
dea n of t he Eng i neer i ng
School since 1999 — is the
Robert D. Bent professor of
chemical and biomolecular
engineering. His extension
comes after consultations
with many University leader s , i nclud i ng t he SE A S
Faculty Council, deans of
other schools and the Faculty Senate.
Gutmann expressed confidence in Glandt’s work and
innovation in the Engineering School, calling him a
“trailblazing leader.”
During his term as dean
of the Engineering School,
Glandt has overseen fundraising to modernize Engineering School buildings,
including Skirkanich Hall,
Lev ine Hall a nd the new
K r ish na P. Si ng h Center
for Nanotechnology, which
broke ground on Thursday.
“Eduardo Glandt has
EDUARDO
GLANDT
School of
Engineering
and Applied
Science Dean
been an extraordinarily successful and dynamic Dean
ac r o s s e v e r y me a su r e ,”
P rice w rote in an e-mail.
“We are all fortunate that
he has agreed to extend his
term as Dean and continue
to advance his ambitious
goals.”
Research funding for the
E ng i ne er i ng S c ho ol h a s
more than doubled during
Glandt’s term as dean. Additionally, the size of the
E ng i neer i ng f ac u lt y h a s
increased by almost 17 percent during his term.
By remaining as dean of
the Engineering School until 2015, Glandt will be able
to oversee its participation
in the University’s Making
History campaign, Gutmann
added.

technologies — nanotechnology,”
Singh said. “It has an enormous
future.”
The dynamic nature of the
nanotechnology program attracts students from not only the
Engineering School, but also the
College of Arts and Sciences.
“The chance to study nanotechnology and especially to
do research in the building is a
wonderful opportunity for College students, just as it is for the
engineers,” School of Arts and
Sciences Dean Rebecca Bushnell said. “For College students, it
underscores the great breadth of
fields they can study at Penn.”
The nanotechnology building will be the first at Penn to
integrate knowledge across two
schools, Gutmann said.
“The building will enable all
students to work in an exciting
field in a state of the art facility,”
Gutmann added.
The center will contain two
large laboratories equipped with
cutting-edge technology.
Of the two, a basement lab will
be designed to limit external
vibrations to increase the effi-

ciency of microscope use in the
nanoscale.
“There are many private labs,
but those two entire rooms are
the heart of the building. This
is an area that is very facilities
intensive,” Engineering School
Dean Eduardo Glandt said. “You
are only as good as your microscope.”
Associate Director of nanotechnology and professor in the
School of Medicine Yale Goldman said the new lab equipment
will help his research on the
impact of molecular motors on
neurological diseases.
“Now, there will be specialized
space that has been designed for
my study. We need the low vibration environment,” he said.
Harvard and Cornell universities are the only other Ivy
League schools with buildings
specifically for nanotechnology.
Princeton is currently in the process of building one.
“The new building will allow
more students to get involved
in research as undergraduates,
as well as continuing to make
Penn Engineering stronger as
a research school,” Engineering
junior Michelle Sherrott said.

The building’s location was
chosen strategically, Glandt
said, since “building to the east
is a big statement for Penn. We
chose the location because we
wanted to give a gateway to the
campus.”
Engineering senior Jordan
Zarrilli echoed Glandt’s sentiment.
“In my opinion, I think the nanotechnology building is the first
tangible step to revitalizing that
side of campus,” she said. “The
building will be the first impression one will get upon arriving to
Penn’s campus.”

Tapping
tech talent
EDITORIAL | PennApps Labs
successfully drew from students’
abilities to make a helpful online tool
A
problem that long plagued many
Penn students has been solved by
the ingenuity of their peers.
PennApps Labs — an organization that hires student developers
to create applications that improve life at the University — recently launched a
website containing a comprehensive real-time list
of available study spaces on and off campus. The
website — PennStudySpaces.com — eliminates
the inconvenience of having to search throughout
campus to find a quiet place to do work.
The website has a user-friendly interface and
has generated positive initial feedback from students.
Last semester, the Undergraduate Assembly
contributed over $2,000 to establish PennApps
Labs.
We commend the UA’s support for the organization, which has successfully tapped into the
talent pool of very capable student developers
and provides a valuable service to the University
community.
We hope to see many more great ideas come out
of PennApps Labs in the future.
R-E-SPEC-T speakers
LAST CALL | With Gingrich coming to campus next week,
students should remember to always be respectful of speakers
I
n the spring of my freshman year,
I arrived at Irvine Auditorium to
see my first prominent speaker
on campus — Karl Rove. Penn
had been abuzz that week over
the Social Planning and Events Committee’s somewhat controversial selection.
After Rove was interviewed by a Penn
professor, the audience was invited to
ask him questions. They started out
harmless enough — some opinionated
and some thought-provoking.
But I was embarrassed to see multiple
students reach the microphone and dispense vitriolic tirades on Rove’s stint
in former President George W. Bush’s
administration. Students called him a
cancer eating away at our civil liberties
and proclaimed that he was responsible
for the destruction of America.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing
and hearing. Was this how Penn students
treated the speakers that came to campus? Clearly, others were annoyed as
well because these outspoken students
were urged to sit down. I remember
turning to my hallmate with my mouth
open in shock at these students’ misuse
of their opportunity to speak.
When speakers come to campus, those
in attendance need to, in the immortal
words of Aretha Franklin, “R-E-S-P-EC-T.” Even when it’s hard. Even when we
fundamentally disagree with the speakers’ beliefs.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t question. We should challenge our speakers
with questions that demonstrate our
knowledge and enthusiasm. We are
granted an incredible opportunity to engage in a dialogue with these high-profile
individuals. It would be terribly boring
to only have questions coming from students in agreement with the speaker.
But an insult is pointless. A tirade is
pointless. It’s a waste of our speaker’s
time and a waste of our fellow students’
time. The University community comes
to hear the words of the speaker, not
those of students.
When attendees lash out at a speaker,
their actions are reflective of the Penn
community, and they’ve done our community a disservice. Rather than displaying their intellect, they’ve essentially
resulted to name-calling.
“We do have a person from the University there for inappropriate behavior
as far as questions go,” SPEC Connaissance co-director and Wharton sophomore Crystal Lu said. “But we’re really
relying on the trust of students to basically ask appropriate questions and not
be disrespectful to our guest.”
Connaissance spends months planning these events, according to Lu. It
began organizing to bring the spring
speaker — former Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich — at the end of November. The group, which is composed of our
fellow students, deals with the agents of
speakers, plans out every aspect of the
events, flyers and sells tickets. When
students act inappropriately, it’s a signal
to Connaissance that it shouldn’t work to
bring high-profile, controversial speakers to Penn.
In Januar y, Penn for Palestine
SABRINA BENUN
brought Norman Finkelstein, an antiIsrael speaker to campus. Evan Philipson, College senior and president of Penn
Israel Coalition, sent out an e-mail to
the group’s listserv, which said, “I encourage you to ask tough questions and
challenge the speaker, but remember
to be respectful and civil in your tone.
Although you may vehemently disagree
with Mr. Finkelstein’s views, there is no
reason for … outlandish behavior.”
Philipson’s e-mail emphasizes the
methods that student groups can use to
remind their members to be polite when
attending speakers whose beliefs may
contradict their own.
Next Thursday, Gingrich will grace us
with his presence. It’s unarguable that
his experience and credentials will make
for a worthwhile talk. But it’s also likely
that he will represent a political perspective that the majority of Penn students
disagree with. In the heat of the moment,
a student may make a comment that’s
unsuitable for the situation.
SPEC Connaissance can do its part
to remind the Penn community to be respectful, and students should take these
words to heart. Any questions?

Santa Monica, Calif. Her e-mail address

‘Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!’
HASSALL-free fridays |
Students should be free to manage
(or mismanage) their own learning
O
n an almost daily basis, the permanently busy Penn student
must make difficult decisions
about how to allocate time.
When should we schedule our
meetings? Can we fit in a new commitment?
Perhaps most pivotal are the decisions relating
to our classes. Do we do our reading? How much
time to we spend studying for midterms? And of
course, do we attend class at all?
Different students deal with these questions
— and the pressures associated with them —
in different ways. Indeed there is a spectrum,
ranging from those of us who would never miss
a lecture, read every assigned page and prepare
for midterms a month in advance to those who
take a more laid-back perspective.
A friend of mine at Columbia University —
who asked not to be named out of concern for
reactions he might receive from his professors
who might happen to read this — takes nonattendance to a whole new level. He has skipped
LUKE HASSALL
an entire week’s worth of class at times. Over a
semester, he regularly misses more lectures
than he attends in many subjects. He said he
often finds himself “learning the material the
day before the exam, not reviewing it.”
Professors not used to seeing him have asked
him to prove his identity during exams. And yet
he finds his own way to succeed, performing well
in his classes and maintaining a respectable
GPA. Though I have yet to meet one, I’m sure
there are students like that at Penn as well.
There are many routes to academic success.
Yet few classes allow students full rein over
how to manage their time and efforts. Many
professors instead use a variety of techniques —
from taking attendance to cold calling to weekly
reading response papers — to push students
towards 100 percent participation, 100 percent
of the time.
In some classes that makes sense. Seminars
are built around the idea of discussion, and if no
one did the reading, no discussion can occur.
But those classes are the minority. Indeed
many classes virtually encourage non-participation, even non-attendance. We’ve all had a class
where the professor seemed to do nothing but
read the textbook, which we can all do at home.
This is to say nothing about classes where a
tiny minority of students not understanding the
material leads to an endless barrage of questions and tumbling attendance from students
who realize the professor is now repeating each
lecture three or four times.
Micromanagement of student learning practices seems all the more bizarre given the existence of exams. The final exam serves as a filter,
because all students — regardless of learning
technique — must still acquire the proficiency to
pass. Surely that dangling truth should ensure
students learn the material, even if it is right
before the exam.
History professor Peter Holquist suggests otherwise. He recounted the experience of teaching
a class in which only a minority of students were
doing the readings, leading to poor midterm
grades. A subsequent reading-response program lifted performance thereafter.
Holquist said that apart from the ideological commitments that many educators have to
their work, there is a pragmatic aspect as well.
“It’s not good if students fail courses,” as a poor
grade can have tremendous implications for a
student’s future education and perhaps even
post-graduation life.
Holquist is probably right. Abandoning all
structure within the classroom and letting us
all run as a horde of leaderless mice towards
examinations and papers would probably result
in lower performance. Many students would not
seize the opportunity for self direction.
Professors in that sense are a little like police
officers: they exist because not everyone follows
the law automatically. But who can deny being
a little jealous of those brave souls who stand
completely outside the system? Like that Robin
Hood of Columbia, taking classes the way we all
wish we could.

ZTA issues bids to new sisters
Girls surprised, ‘excited’ to be part of
founding chapter of newest campus sorority
BY SARAH GADSDEN AND NADINE ZYLBERBERG
Assignments Editor and Senior News Editor
A s o f T hu r sd ay, a new
group of Penn students have
officially become sisters.
A c c or d i ng t o Z et a T au
A lpha Extension Director
Marlene Conrad, the sorority
extended bids to new members at its preference round
p a r t y ho st e d at Hou st on
Hall’s Hall of Flags Thursday
evening.
While the number of bids
has not yet been f inalized
— as some students were in
class, taking midterms and
interviewing for jobs — Conrad said ZTA accepted individuals from all four classes
and that the number of girls
shou ld be “re a l ly comparable” to the seven existing
sororities on campus.
“It was definitely our goal
to come in and be right at

her freshman year, other students got involved in the show
this year not as a welcome to
Penn, but as a farewell.
“I went to the audition for
a bunch of years but couldn’t
get myself to read any of the
monologues,” College senior
Rebecca Cook said. Her decision to finally read was “more
of a realization that I can’t do
it after this year.”
What she didn’t fully realize, though, was that her involvement with The Vagina
Monologues would go beyond
the production.
The community that forms
through the rehearsal meetings “is unlike anything at
Penn,” College senior and
Vagina Monologues director
Maya Tepler said. It’s “safe
in a way that’s hard to find,”
she added.
“There are lots of women’s
groups on campus and even
sororities,” she said. “But
then you get this group of
women, and they open up in
a way that’s really incredible
and really special.”
“It’s not just a show,” College sophomore Ali Kriegs-
community “right from the
beginning.”
“We’re really pleased with
the results,” she said.
For College f reshma n
Molly Sloss — who dropped
out of formal recruitment in
January the night before it
began because she felt overwhelmed by the process —
getting a ZTA bid was “an
exciting moment,” as it came
as a surprise to many of the
other girls.
“Nobody thought that they
were going to get a bid,” Sloss
said. Although she suspected
that bids would be given out
Thursday night, “I didn’t tell
anyone because I didn’t want
to jinx it.”
She said prospective members came in and sat in rows
of white chairs w ith black
bows before hearing ZTA’s
executive director speak and
lead songs about sisterhood.
mansaid. “You really build a
vagina community.”
Many women have personal
stories that inspired their involvement.
“One of my f r iends was
actually a victim of sexual
assault,” said College sophomore Anna Tommasini, who
is working on crew. “Seeing
her go through that process
made me want to be there for
her in another way and contribute to something larger.”
For College freshman Antonia Piccone, a particular
woman in her life inspired her
to participate in The Vagina
Monologues.
“She is from Kenya, and
she was a victim of female
genital mutilation,” Piccone
said. “She has kind of become
a role model for me.”
P iccone sa id she never
knew she would have the opportunity to speak for her
role model on stage. However,
when she showed up to auditions and shared her story,
she was told that one of the
monologues was about female
circumcision.
“It was extremely hard to
get through,” she said. “But
now I feel like I’m speaking
National representatives
then told the girls to look under their chairs, as they had
all received bid cards.
“It was like Oprah,” she
said. “‘You get a bid, you get
a bid, you get a bid.’”
Sloss explained that ZTA
representatives told the girls
to sign their cards before
they left the party unless they
had any reservations. She decided to sign that night.
College junior Kalla Gervasio also signed her bid card
Thursday.
While she said, “it seemed
like most girls signed right
away,” she noted that several
prospective members hung
around to ask more questions
before decid ing to accept
their bids.
“There was def initely a
crowd that was unsure,” she
added.
Gervasio rushed because
she regretted not rushing as
a freshman, and was looking
for a way to “make Penn feel
a little smaller.” She added
that she was pa r ticula rly
draw n to ZTA because its
philanthropy cause is breast
cancer awareness, and her
father passed away from cancer.
Many women, like Gervasio, are excited to be members of a founding class of
ZTA. “They told us that it’s
pretty much up to us how we
shape this sorority, so I’m really looking forward to that,”
she said.
Sloss agreed the best part
of joi n i ng ZTA’s fou nd i ng
chapter is “to be part of that
process.”
“I’m excited to do somet h i ng new, t o m a ke Z et a
Penn-relatable,” she said.
ZTA will host its bid-day
event Friday where the new
sisters will get to know each
other.
Since the sorority has no
older members, “crown sisters” will replace what other
sororities refer to as lineages through “peer-mentoring
relationships,” according to
Conrad.
She added that new members will be initiated in early
April.
on behalf of her.”
A lthough College sophomore Ansley Sawyer “auditioned on a whim,” like many
of the girls, she is enthusiastic
about the fundraising aspect
of the production.
“It’s not just women getting
out their feminist energy —
we’re supporting something
real,” Sawyer said.
one staff person for an entire
year,” Friedman added.
Apart from the fundraiser, some of the women have
forged a deeper persona l
con nect ion w it h women’s
rights through their involvement with The Vagina Monologues.
College sophomore Humna
Bhojani hopes to speak on behalf of the women of an entire
country.
“I really want to take this
back to Pakistan,” she said,
referring to her home country. “There’s so much violence
against women, and there is
no accountability.”
“I may want to translate it
into Urdu and raise awareness of the violence there that
is on such a different level,”
she continued.
The Vagina Monologues,
Tepler said, are meant to be
“not just entertaining and enlightening for the audience,
but cathartic for the actors.”
“So much comes from the
heart of people who are onstage, who are undergrads
and Penn students,” Cook
said. “I hope people will leave
feeling the smallest sense of
distance possible.”

Aid Bill Schilling said.
The move will allow Penn to
“maintain and strengthen” its
existing aid system, he said.
“Penn’s financial commitment to families who qualify
for need-based financial aid
is in place — with no loans,”
Dean of Admissions Eric Furda wrote in an e-mail. Penn
has offered loan-free financial
assistance for students who
qualify for aid since 2009.
For regular-decision applicant Steve Smith, who attends Absegami High School
in Galloway, N.J., financial aid
will be a “a really big factor”
this April in deciding which
college to attend. He said his
decision will be based on “a
combination of both financial aid and academics, but I
think that the financial side is
weighted more heavily.”
Schilling said that his office budgets for financial aid
based on trends in national
unemployment and federal
budgeting for higher education.
This year, 42 percent of undergraduates received needbased grants.
College freshman Hillary
Barlowe, who receives full financial aid, said she hopes the
University will keep financial
aid accessible to students who
need it as tuition rises.
The increase in tuition

comes along with an extensive plan to invest in student
life projects, including renovation of Kings Court/English
House and 1920 Commons as
well as expanded dining options at McClelland Hall in the
Quadrangle.
Penn’s tuition increases are
generally comparable to its
peers, Gibson said. Yale University recently announced a
5.8 percent increase in total
charges, while Cornell University reported a 4.75 percent
raise in tuition.
Gibson added that Penn’s
annual increase in tuition is
typically smaller than that of
most private and public universities.
Executive Vice President
Craig Carnaroli said the University tries to “maintain
market competitiveness” in
the field of higher education,
which often impacts changes
in tuition.
Vanessa Lam, a senior at
the Crofton House School in
Vancouver who was admitted
to Penn through early decision, said she did not apply
for financial aid because she
didn’t think she would qualify,
as her parents were “above
the income bracket.”
However, the high price of a
Penn education has her planning ahead for next year. “I
want to help offset the cost as
much as possible,” she said.
“It’s a great education, but
it’s a pretty expensive education.”

Get ready for GRE changes
Student who take the new test starting Aug. 1
may not get their scores until mid-November
BY SETH ZWEIFLER
Staff Writer
The road to graduate school
will soon be getting a makeover.
Starting on Aug. 1, Penn students taking the Graduate Record Exam for graduate school
admission will see a revamped
version of the test.
The new GRE will be an hour
longer than the current exam,
according to Educational Testing Services, the administer
of the GRE. The revised test
will also include new questions
in the verbal and quantitative
reasoning sections that aim to
better reflect graduate school
work.
At the School of Arts and
Sciences, the GRE is currently
a “reasonably important component of an application” for
more than 30 graduate programs, SAS Associate Dean
for Graduate Studies Ralph
Rosen wrote in an e-mail.
However, he added that a
student’s personal statement
and letters of recommendation
are generally “the two most
important aspects of a file.”
Rosen does not think that
the revised GRE will change
how SAS graduate programs
use the exam in the admissions process.
Graduate School of Education Dean Andy Porter said the
current GRE is “a quantitative
and readily available tool that

Tel: 215 387 8808
www.SANGKEENOODLEHOUSE.com
helps us measure applicants,”
but said he is unsure if test revisions will alter the meaning
of exam results.
For Penn students looking
to take the GRE before they
graduate, one important concern looms — whether to take
the current or revised version
of the test.
Andrew Mitchell, director
of pre-business programs at
Kaplan Test Prep, is advising current undergraduates
to “strongly consider” taking
the GRE before Aug. 1 if they
hope to attend graduate school
in the near future.
Since ETS must compile a
statistically significant sample
of test scores to ensure the new
GRE’s accuracy, Mitchell explained that students who take
the exam in August, September or October won’t get their
results back until mid-November. Currently, the average
wait time for computer-based
GRE scores is 10 days.
Such a long layover in the
f uture might cause some
unaware applicants to miss
important graduate school
admissions deadlines, Mitchell said.
“Taking the test before August is going to be the only way
to get a prompt score … and

College sophomore Paul
Corlies, who cook s of ten,
would be happy “not having
to walk an extra two blocks to
go to the grocery store.” Additionally, he would prefer to
shop at the UnCommon Market because he can use dining

Corlies added that Commons “has the reputation of
being the worst dining hall on
campus,” so he is glad to see
Penn’s effort to improve the
options there.
Wharton freshman Yueyi
Zhou is happy to see Penn
Dining improve on-campus options other than dining halls.
Zhou, who has only been to

College junior Rachel Cohen
will be taking the GRE before
the Aug. 1 change this summer to ensure that her scores
will be in on time. Cohen, who
is hoping to attend veterinary
school after graduation, explained that some of her application deadlines are as early

However, Senior Associate
Director of Career Services

take the revised exam “may be
in a student’s interest if their

it.”

The Quakers took the first meeting at

the Palestra and struggled in their first
Ivy road trip.

thing is staying on target.”
The Red and Blue’s first
target is a Princeton team (94, 3-3) that they defeated three
weeks ago on the shoulders of
their captain, who won the last
match of the day to help Penn to
a 5-4 victory.
If the Quakers take that
match, Yale (14-0, 6-0) — the
team that defeated the Quakers at the beginning of the
season and is fresh off a win
over Harvard — looms on the
horizon. While the Bulldogs
proved victorious in the regular season, the Quakers are a
changed team.
“I don’t really know how
to ex plain the cha nges,”
Madeira said. “We’ve gotten
faster, fitter, stronger, more
focused.”
If Penn is able to traverse
past the Bulldogs, the Crimson (9-1, 5-1) will more than
likely serve as their opponents
in the final for the secondstraight year.
While Harvard won handily
last season in the very same
situation, this time, Penn will
have two valuable weeks of
game play behind them.
“[This is] definitely the
hardest working team that I’ve
seen in my four years,” Madeira said. “In terms of being as
ready as we possibly can be, I
think we definitely are.”

ketball,” Nicholson said. “Everybody knows their roles,
and everyone’s willing to step
up.”
Key to the Quakers’ success this season has been the
team’s five freshmen — especially standout Alyssa Baron,
who scored a career-high 38
points against Harvard. In
the second round of Ivy play,
however, t here may be a
closer watch on the freshman
guard.
Though Baron was held

they are a team that the rest
of the League should not have
written off.
Penn dominated against
Brown earlier this year, earn-
ing its first Ivy win of the season in a 52-32 victory. However,
Yale bewildered the Quakers,
as they fell in a 53-44 loss.
Senior Caroline Nicholson
felt that the Quakers struggled to keep up their stamina
against Yale.
With seven minutes to play
and the Quakers trailing by six,
Penn allowed Yale to score the
next five baskets and didn’t get
within five points for the rest of
the game.

The recipe worked to perfection for Lehigh as they split the

picked up two major decisions,

ize we have such a good shot.”
Sophomore Nabilla Ariffin
took a set against Harvard’s
top-ranked Laura Gemmell,
who had won all her matches
this season in straight sets
until she faced Ariffin.
Along with Madeira, sophomores Yarden Odinak and
Pia Trikha took their matches
handily, controlling the middle
portion of the ladder.
“That match showed how
much effort we’ve put in this
year,” Trikha said, “and how
much it’s paid off.”
The confidence that the
Quakers can play with any
team in the nation will be
invaluable at this weekend’s
Howe Cup, a three-day tournament in which the top eight
schools in the country duke it
out for the coveted national
championship.
“This weekend gets very
chaotic,” Madeira said. “Every
single team is there, and it’s so
easy to get caught up in all the

will be at 133 pounds, where
true freshman Frank Cagnina
— who is 15-3 this year — will
take on Penn’s fifth-year senior Rollie Peterkin. Although
Peterkin is the favorite, the
freshman is only one spot behind Peterkin in the EIWA

Since then, sluggish starts

get valuable playing
time as Quakers fall
from Ivy contention
BY ARI SEIFTER
Senior Staff Writer
For f resh men l i ke F ra n
Dougherty, the second half of
the Ivy League season will not
only be a chance to “turn a new
page” but also to gain valuable
in-game experience.
“When you come in, you don’t
want to be nervous or feel like
you’re going to mess up every
time,” Dougherty said. “So the
more chances that you get, the
more comfortable you feel with
it.”
Following a disastrous fivegames-in-eight-days stretch
— which included four losses,
three in overtime — the Qu a k ers (9-12, 3-4 Ivy) hit the road
again this weekend as they head
to Brown and Yale.
With Penn dropping to fifth
place after the four-game losing streak, Penn coach Jerome
Allen could see the road trip as
a chance to get the young guys
some playing time.
“You try not to put too much
pressure on those guys because
this is their first rodeo,” said Allen, who added that time and situation will dictate how deeply he
can go off the bench. “The fact of
the matter is, we’re not a deep
team but that doesn’t stop you
from preparing yourself so that
if your number’s called, you’re
ready.”
In their most recent loss — a
75-62 defeat to Columbia — 12
Quakers saw action, including
a career-high 24 minutes for
freshman forward Cameron
Gunter.
Gunter, who was previously
scoreless in his career, broke
out with 10 points in the first half
and 12 overall.

‘Better luck next year,’ was a
phrase the women’s basketball
team was beginning to hear this
time last year.
After losing to all seven of their
Ivy League opponents, the Quakers looked doomed to not only
finish in last place but to struggle
in future seasons.
This prediction was echoed
by the 2010-11 Preseason Media
Poll, which forecasted another
last place finish for the Quakers,
20 points below next-best Cornell.
However, fresh off a dominant
Ivy sweep against Cornell and
Columbia last weekend, in which
the Quakers (9-12, 3-4 Ivy) won
by a margin of 18 and 20 points
respectively, it’s clear that this is
not the same team as last year.
Now, the Red and Blue head
into the second half of their Ivy
season boasting the best turnaround in program history and
climbing the standings to number five in the league with three
conference wins.
As Penn heads into its second
run of the Ivy gauntlet this weekend against Brown (7-15, 3-5)
