DPS reports second rape
Officials say this case, which also occurred on

A second rape was reported
on campus over the weekend,
Division of Public Safety officials said yesterday.
A female Penn student reported that she had been raped
in a residence on the 200 block
of S. 39th Street at about 2 a.m.
Sunday, Vice President for Pub-
lic Safety Maureen Rush said.
The incident was reported Sunday afternoon.
The offender is a male student
who knows the victim. Rush said
police have spoken to both students and the complainant does
not want to press charges.
Rush said the case is unrelat-
ed to another incident in which
a female Penn student said she
was raped at a fraternity house
on the 3500 block of Locust Walk
early Saturday morning.
It does not appear to be a random attack committed by an
offender thought to be a threat
to the community at large.
No arrests have been made
in the first rape case, but Philadelphia Police Detective Linda
Blowes said Monday that police
have “at least two leads” on the
suspect’s identity.
Though neither Blowes nor
Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Director Scott
Reikofski would identify the fraternity that was involved in the
incident, Blowes said that the
fraternity’s members are being
“very cooperative” with the investigation. The only fraternity
located on the 3500 block of Locust Walk is Phi Kappa Sigma,
commonly known as Skulls.

Possible H1N1 cases
rise to 89 this week
STUDENT HEALTH |
Penn’s number of
cases is above state,
national averages
BY MEG BEVILACQUA
Staff Writer
Penn Student Health Service
reported 89 cases of influenzalike illness suspected to be type
H1N1 on campus for the week of
Sept. 20-26, according to Office
of the Vice Provost for University
Life spokesman Matt Waller.
The new cases make Penn’s
weekly infection rate 44.2 cases
per 10,000 students per week,
well above the American Col-
lege Health Association’s Pennsylvania college average of 28.9
cases per 10,000 students and the
national college average of 20.1
cases per 10,000 students for the
week of Sept. 19-25.
SHS is reserving their low supply of seasonal flu vaccinations
for those who are at risk for flu
complications, Waller said. SHS
expects to receive more seasonal
flu vaccines soon, and a vaccine
specific to H1N1 is expected to
become available this month, SHS
director Evelyn Wiener said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended that all persons between
the ages of six months and 24

said, the cab driver turned

“It would be the best T.V.

While at Penn, Goldhagen

THE PALESTRA, Oct. 9
The Red and Blue Crew , Penn’s student fan section, is actively advertising for basketball season ticket sales
and The Line this year, according to
Crew member and Wharton junior
Pete Becker.
Due to last year’s dwindling attendance, the group approached
marketing students to help enhance
communication about The Line, which
begins Oct. 9. Per tradition, students
will flock to a random location sometime next week to sign up for season
tickets and will participate in Friday’s
overnight stay in the Palestra. During the night, participants will choose
their seat locations.

Wharton Women began the Penn

proceeds from ticket sales for tonight’s
talk, the campaign’s t-shirt and sticker
sales and online donations from alumni and local organizations will benefit
the cause.
Fleischer said the project has collected approximately $2,500 thus far,
but she is optimistic that the group
will reach its goal by the end of the
month.

Curriculum requirements urge broad horizons, cut corners
BY NAOMI TARLOW
Senior Staff Writer
They’re a fact of college life:
those random classes that almost everyone you know has
taken.
Introduction to Geology, A
Survey of the Universe, Ideas
in Mathematics — the courses
many a Penn student plans to
take eventually in order to knock
off a requirement or two.
As students settle into fall
semester with the Registrar’s
course listings in their hands and
the world seemingly at their fingertips — choosing courses that
involve everything from weekly
prison visits to analyzing Britney
Spears videos — they are once
again faced with making sure
they fulfill their curriculum requirements.
Many say they appreciate that
requirements encourage them
to broaden their horizons, while
others are frustrated that they
must take classes that don’t fit
their interests. And many are adept at cutting corners, finding the
easy classes to get them through
the system.
When the new College of Arts
and Sciences curriculum was developed in 2006, five foundational
approaches were included: Writing, Foreign Language, Formal
Reasoning and Analysis, Quantitative Data Analysis and Cross
Cultural Analysis. The Cultural
Diversity in the U.S. requirement
was added for the Class of 2012
and later.
While students may not fulfill two sector requirements at
the same time, they are allowed
–– even encouraged — to simultaneously fulfill a sector and foundational requirement, excluding
the writing and language ones,
according to D. Kent Peterman,
Associate Dean and Director of
Academic Affairs.
Peterman said the fundamental approaches were “adopted
with the understanding that
students would fulfill them in
courses they are taking for another purpose … to ensure more
flexibility.”
The foundational approaches, introduced in the 1990s, are
relatively new. The sectors, or
“breadth requirements,” have
been in the curriculum for a
“very, very long time,” Peterman said.
Students who are not math
and science types, such as College freshman Ali Castleman,
seem more inclined to take
alternatives to Calculus and
Chemistry in order to fulfill requirements.
Math is Castleman’s “least
favorite thing in the world.”
Therefore, she is planning to
take Introduction to Linguistics,
which fulfills the National Sciences and Mathematics sector.
“I’m kind of interested in it, so it’s
nice that it fulfills that requirement,” she said.
Castleman said she does not
mind the various course re-
quirements at Penn. “I think the
enormous course book is so overwhelming, and I think it’s good
that they force you to go out of
your comfort zone,” she added.
College junior Jenny Feldstein
agreed. “I think it is a good way
for someone who wants a liberal
arts education to take classes in
a lot of different areas,” she wrote
in an e-mail.
Two popular courses, Introduction to Geology and Astronomy 001: A Survey of the Universe,
fulfill both the Physical World
sector and the Quantitative Data
Analysis requirement. Peterman
explained that classes that count
toward the requirement “incorporate exercises to teach data
analysis.”
J.J. Katz, a College senior who
took Astronomy his sophomore
year, wrote in an e-mail that he
took the class because he finds
“the concept of things beyond
our planet intriguing — and it
fulfilled two requirements.”
While he said that he may have
taken the course if it had not
fulfilled the two requirements,
he added that this was not the
case for many others. “For most
people it was either geology or
astronomy, and not because they
were particularly interested in
either,” he wrote.
Feldstein, who took Introduction to Geology and Ideas in
Mathematics, which both fulfill
a sector and a fundamental approach, wrote she “probably
wouldn’t have taken them if they

didn’t fulfill requirements.”
Still, she wrote she would
have taken Greek and Roman
Mythology, which fulfills Arts
and Letters and Cross Cultural
Analysis, regardless of the requirements. In fact, she fulfilled
Cross Cultural Analysis with another course.
College sophomore Jake Cassman said he took Theory and
Musicianship last year to “get
out of Calc.”
The class fulfilled the Formal
Reasoning and Analysis requirements, and Cassman said it was
“definitely” successful in teaching him formal reasoning skills.
And while it offered “a little
bit of mathematical crossover,”
he said the Music class was “not
nearly as demanding as Calculus would have been as long as
you’re into music.”
Planning to double major in
Music and Political Science,
Cassman would have taken the
course anyway.
But he would not have taken
the Philosophy of Space and
Time, as he is now, in order to
fulfill the Natural Science and
Mathematics sector.
This does not necessarily
mean that Cassman is unhappy
with the system. While he understands why the College has its
requirements, he said, “at the
same time I’m very glad you can
cut corners.”
Peterman and the College
office do not necessarily disapprove.
When developing the curriculum, “the faculty was conscious
of not wanting to constrain stu-
MAKING IT COUNT
- The College requires
students to fill five
foundational approaches and
seven sector requirements,
in addition to their major.
- Only one course can count
for both major and sector
requirements. Courses that
fill certain foundational
approaches can also be
counted toward the sectors.
dents,” Peterman said. “But at
the same time they wanted to
ensure students would acquire a
facility with data analysis, formal
reasoning and cultural analysis
— [these classes] were made expressly to double count.”

Minorities may have new reps in freshmen
STUDENT GOVT. | Candidates say they
hope to give a ‘voice’ to minority groups
BY MOHANA RAVINDRANATH
Staff Writer
College freshman Chris Cruz
wants to be the first Latino class
president. And he’s not the only
freshman hoping to boost the
representation of a specific
group.
When the Nominations and
Elections Committee surveyed
the 55 freshmen running for
positions on the Undergradu-
ate Assembly and Class of 2013
Board, a third of the 33 respondents self-identified as white, 42
percent identified as Asian, 6
percent as black and 12 percent
as being of two or more races.
Since the NEC has not asked
candidates to identify racial
background in the past, NEC
Vice Chairwoman for elections
and Wharton senior Patricia
Liu explained, she can’t draw
any comparisons to past years’
elections.
Still, College junior Janice
Dow, chairwoman of the United
Minorities Council, believes
these statistics are promising.
“Every year, the turnout [of
minority students] gets bigger
and better,” she wrote in an email.
Cruz, who is running for both
the UA and Class Board president, said Latinos are underrepresented. He did not know

Join the Advertising staff of The Daily Pennsylvanian this fall.
We know, your first semester in
college hardly seems the time to tackle
new projects. What with getting used
to campus, tackling all of your courses,
and getting accustomed to college life,
it might seem tough to think about
taking on an internship. But we have
to ask: is something missing if you’re
just taking classes? Couldn’t college life
offer something more to prepare you to
succeed in this new economy?
we might just have a part-time job
for you as a member of The Daily
Pennsylvanian’s Advertising Sales Staff.
We offer you something you can’t get
from any classroom — experience. You
want it. Employers look for it. And this
can be a great way to get it.
Something like a paid internship
that gives you hands-on business
experience, knowledge and practical
skills that go beyond textbooks, and
income earned from putting your talents
to work?

positions.
Latino underrepresentation
“has been a concern for the Latino Coalition,” Latino Coalition
Chairman and College junior
Cris Barrios said. “We hold informational sessions with student government to get more
people to apply.”
Wharton freshman Dennis
Johnson, who self-identifies as
black and is running for Wharton Class Chairman and the UA,
said he knows of only two other
black students running.
“I want to give [black students
at Penn] another voice,” he said.
“This is an opportunity to push
for what we need on campus.”
He emphasized that black students make up 9 percent of
Penn’s undergraduate body.

“Sometimes freshmen get a
little intimidated by the enormity of the school,” said College
senior Rosa Cui, the Penn Consortium of Undergraduate Women chairwoman. She added that
freshman women might be more
likely to run if they see women

Frosh campaigns
use creative tactics
STUDENT GOVT. | In addition to fliers and
chalk, candidates make raps and video essays
BY BECKY BAILEY
Staff Writer
Post er s on ever y t r ee ,
chalked names all over Locust Walk and an exponential
increase in Facebook group
invitations can mean only one
thing: student government
elections.
Freshmen this year are employing a wide variety of tactics
— some unconventional — to
get their names out and garner
as many votes as possible.
A few candidates have created videos to post on their
Facebook groups. College
freshman Jon Youshaei, running for Class Board president,
has a rap video, while College
freshman M.J. Gitter, running
for Class Board vice president ,
as well as for the Undergraduate Assembly, made a spoof of
the Legally Blonde admissions
video.
Many of the candidates
agree that technology is one
of the most useful tools for getting their platforms out to the
freshman class.
“It’s very tech-oriented,”
College freshman and UA candidate Andrew Jakubowski
said. “Nowadays most kids
are on their laptops or their
iPhones or their Blackberrys,
and the technology is sitting in
front of them at all times.”
Freshman candidates have
also had more time to get to
know voters than in previous
years. While last year’s freshman candidates had less than
three weeks from the start
of classes to get their names
out before voting started, this
year’s candidates have had
nearly a month since the first
day of classes.
Wharton freshman and UA
candidate Joao Victor Mokdissi believes the extra time is a
positive change.
“How can you stand up and
say, ‘I want to bring change
to campus or improvement,’
if you haven’t even spent a few
weeks here?” Mokdissi said. “It
gives us an opportunity to get
to know more of the freshman
class and get to know more of
what campus life and academics are like at Penn.”
Wharton freshman and UA
candidate J.D. Habermehl
commented on the various
candidates’ platforms. He noted that many candidates are
focusing on a bigger picture of
making a difference and improving the lives of students,
rather than making lofty promises.
On the other hand, some candidates are campaigning with
certain proposals in mind.
Col lege f resh ma n Ja ke
Shuster, who is running for
Class Board vice president of
finance, wants to start a new
tradition called “Boogie on
Blades.” During this event,
freshmen would ice skate and
have a dance party in the Class
of 1923 Arena.
Col lege f resh ma n Josh
Dembowitz, running for the
Class Board College chairman,
wants to popularize the Econ
Scream. To unwind before finals, Dembowitz proposes getting junked cars and smashing
them with bats and sledgehammers.
Nominations and Elections
Committee Chairwoman and
College senior Rachel Levick
said the NEC has made a push
for candidates to increase the
substance of campaigns and to
make realistic promises.
At the same time, Levick
also pointed out the positive
aspects of thinking creatively
and hopes that the freshmenelects will put their creativity
to good use.

STUDENT LIFE | SPEC’s annual fall show
will include The Antlers and Holly Miranda
BY ELIZABETH HORKLEY
Contributing Writer
Brooklyn-based band, The
Antlers, have achieved what
most indie artists can only
dream of: an 8.5 rating and
the elusive “Best New Music” title from music website
Pitchfork Media.
But perhaps the bragging
rights belong to Penn students, who have the opportunity to see The Antlers at
The Rotunda tonight for the
Social Planning and Events
C o m m it t e e ’s a n nu a l f a l l
show, Jazz & Grooves.
“In a year of great music,
The Antlers have found themselves ahead of the pack ,”
said Austin Paul, co-director of SPEC Jazz & Grooves
and co-planner of the event.
“Their sound only gets better
live — it should be an amazing show.”
The event is somewhat of a
departure from past SPECsponsored events, according
to SPEC member and event
co-planner College junior David Saginur. The Antlers are
more targeted toward the
college crowd than past performers, which have included
a Led Zeppelin cover band
and Robert Randolph.
And SPEC couldn’t be more
excited to treat indie-rock
enthusiasts to an unprecedented opportunity and to
introduce casual listeners to
music’s next big thing.
As Saginur put it, “Next
time [The A ntlers come to
Philadelphia], they’ll be playing a much larger venue for a
much larger price.”
While for now The Antlers
are just break ing into the
business, many music connoisseurs are eager to hear
their work, especially those
eager for an antidote to the
recent music trend where,
as stated by Pitchfork, “ … it
seems fashionable to bunt, or
put your forehead on the bat
and spin until you get dizzy.”
In addition to the coveted
praise from Pitchfork, who
describe The A ntlers’ music as “a skyscraping blend
of the ambient and the anthemic,” The A ntlers have
recently earned the praise
of such media giants as N Y
Press, Timeout New York
and N PR , who named the
band’s first album, Hospice,
the best album of the first
half of 2009.
Holly M i ra nda w ill a lso

collapse.”

over the next three years to hire 50 officers
BY HARRISON GARFINKLE
Staff Writer
The Philadelphia Police
Department avoided having
to lay off more than 700 police officers after state lawmakers approved a 1-percent
raise on the Philadelphia
sales tax and a two-year city
pension deferment plan earlier this month.
But the Philadelphia Police
also have another reason to
celebrate. Philadelphia will
receive $10.9 million over the
next three years to hire 50 police officers as part of a series
of grants by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009.
The federal government
announced in July that it was
awarding $1 billion in Recov-
ery Act grants to more than
1,000 law enforcement agencies across the country for the
purpose of hiring or re-hiring
4,699 police officers.
U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder announced in July that
the grants were awarded to
cities based on “crime rate, financial need and community
policing activities.”
He added that police departments could use the funds to
hire new officers or re-hire
officers who are scheduled to
be laid off as a result of local
budget cuts.
The grants are being awarded through the Community
Oriented Policing Services
Hiring Recovery Program.
Holder announced that the
government received applications for funding from more
than 7,000 cities and towns
across the United States.
Pennsylvania was awarded
a grant of $20.2 million over
the next three years, but
Philadelphia alone will receive more than half of those
funds.
A lthough some U.S. cities — including Los Angeles,
Washington, D.C., and Miami
— received larger grants than
Philadelphia, no city received
grant money to hire more
than 50 officers.
Philadelphia Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore said
these new officers could be
trained and out on the streets
as early as next summer.
He added that as soon as
the funds are released and
approval from the mayor is
received, the Philadelphia
Police Department will begin
the process of hiring these
new officers.
“The soonest we have the
ability … we’re going to fulfill the grant and utilize it,”
Vanore said. “If we’re able to
get a class in soon, we’ll have
them as a resource come the
summer time of next year
when we’ll need them the
most.”
Although it is still unknown
where these officers will be
concentrated, Vanore said
they will most likely be placed
in areas of the city that have
had the most problems over
the past year.
“ Now t hat we have ou r
bud get i n pl ac e a nd t he
commissioner has a lot of
resources to utilize, he can
take a look and see when we
can utilize that funding and
allocate these people,” Vanore said.

Lindsey,” Brodsky said. With
Goldhagen’s energetic support, he said, almost 450 people registered to take part in
the drive.
“Each one of those is a
potential life saved,” added
Brodsky, who said in an inter v iew last ye a r t hat he
received a life-saving bone
marrow transplant after being diagnosed with leukemia
at age 16.
College junior Chrissy Anderson, Goldhagen’s sister in
the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority, described Goldhagen’s
i nt ense loya lt y t o a l l her
friends.
Anderson recounted a time
when she was talking on the
phone with Goldhagen, lamenting “boy troubles” for
some time. Goldhagen listened patiently, A nderson
said, before revealing that
she had just gone back into
the hospital.
“She replied that it wasn’t
a big deal. She was always in
the hospital, but she wished
she could get out to give the
boy I was having issues with
a piece of her mind,” Anderson wrote in an e-mail.
Goldhagen’s passion also
extended into the academic
arena, said Associate Dean
of the Nursing School Kathleen McCauley, who called
Goldhagen “one of the most
special students we’ve ever
had.”
McCauley pointed to the
competitive nursing internship Gold hagen held w ith
Independence Blue Cross,
as well as the award for best
poster presentation she won
at an Eastern Nursing Research Society Conference.
McCauley and Christina
Cl a rk , Nu r si ng a ssi st a nt
dean for academic and student affairs, also revealed
that the Nursing School voted
Sept. 14 to honor Goldhagen
with a degree.
“She truly was a nurse already,” said Clark.
Goldhagen’s mother, Ina,
thanked everyone at Penn for
making “the best two years
of my Lindsey’s life.”
Her father, Jerry, said he
“couldn’t be more proud” of
Goldhagen.
I n a d d it i o n t o v a r i o u s
speeches, the ser vice also

and the Shabbatones.
“The memorial service really did her justice,” said Engineering sophomore Mike
Siegel.

EDITORIAL | The Red & Blue Crew
likely won’t reach its goals given its
meager budget
A
lthough most students at
Penn ag ree that they ’re prett y happy here, we ad m itted ly
don’t have an over f low of traditional school spirit. It’s tough to
picture students tailgating before a
football game outside of Franklin Field.
This has been a problem in recent years,
as attendance has been noticeably lagging.
That’s why we’re happy to see that the Athletics Department is investing more heavily in
the Red & Blue Crew, giving the loose-limbed
organization more structure. Intended to get
more students going to games — of all sports,
not just sporadic basketball and football games
— the Red & Blue Crew now has a $500 fund
to help get Penn students more pumped up for
the Quakers.
We question, however, whether or not they
can accomplish their goals on the low budget
of $500 a year. Galvanizing large groups of
students is a huge undertaking, and one that
can’t be done without some serious expenses.
And although belts are likely tight this year,
we’re very doubtful the small sum will be able
to get additional students to the Palestra this
year — let alone convince them to trek out to
Rhodes Field. If we want to increase school
spirit, we need to increase the budget.

Google the Gutenberg
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER A | Google has
reinvisioned books, and it’s time they’re allowed to digitize
I
n 1440, Johannes Gutenberg introduced Europe to the mechanical
printing press, printing Bibles for
mass consumption. The technology allowed for books and manuscripts — originally replicated by hand
— to be printed at a much faster rate, thus
spreading knowledge and helping to usher
in the European Renaissance. Because
information was easier to access, more
people could benefit.
Why the European history lesson? Because Google has done a similar job.
Introduced in 2004, Google Books
aimed to digitize books found in partner libraries, including the University
of Michigan Library and the New York
Public Library. Scanned books whose
copyrights have expired — anything
published before 1923 — would be offered
in their full text online, while those still
under copyright would be scanned, but
would only show small snippets to those
who were searching. John Ockerbloom,
a computer scientist who does planning
around digital libraries at Penn, also
pointed out that Google Books would be
able to take orphan books — those still
under copyright but whose “owners”
could not be found — and expose them
to a wider audience.
Digitization is not unprecedented —
libraries all over boast digital repositories. Closer to home, for instance, Penn
Libraries has an extensive digital library
with more than 54,000 digital journals,
and adds thousands of articles each year,
Joe Zucca, the Libraries’ director for
Planning and Communication, told me.
This collection has been growing since
the 1990s, so it’s become quite extensive.
However, most (if not all) of what’s found
in the Penn collection was created for a
digital platform.
The case of Google Books, however,
was the first time that most of the digitized works were originally not published expressly for digital consumption.
Works by Jane Austen and Mark Twain
— authors who couldn’t even fathom the
idea of a computer — can now be found
in their entirety through Googling (A
brief note: most of my understanding of
the Google Books history is thanks to
Zucca, Ockerbloom and Shawn Martin,
the Scholarly Communications Librarian, who very patiently explained the
ins and outs of this deal. I have a very
limited understanding of the law, and
haven’t even taken the LSATs yet).
The problem for Google came in 2005,
when the Authors Guild and a group of
large publishing companies brought a
class-action suit and civil lawsuit, respectively, against the Internet giant,
claiming the service violated the copyrights of the partially scanned books,
which are not yet in the public domain.
Google countered the books fell under
what is considered fair use — that is to
say, situations like educational settings,
when it is alright to use material that is
under copyright without the permission of authors or publishers.
The lawsuits raised philosophical questions, including what should be considered fair use and how revenue factors
into this. A settlement, reached last year,
ARIELLE KANE
completely ignored the fair-use issue
question, and instead focused on one of
revenue. Basically, Google agreed to pay
a fee for the books it scanned, and go forward with selling access to copyrighted
books for a fee.
Now, though, the settlement is under
review for possible violation of anti-trust
laws, as well as whether the class-action
suit was even entirely representative. It’s
a bit of a mess, actually.
What Google was doing however, I
must applaud. More often than we like
to admit, when it comes to research papers, accessibility and expediency are
the keys to success. It’s undeniably easier to use a study or article found on the
Internet rather than going to a library
to search for a book. As more previously paperbound works are transferred to
computer screens, the material will be
more widely used. Finally, the Internet
isn’t going away — these books will all
be online sooner or later.
Google has the resources to broaden
access to an unbelievably large number
of literary works and we can only hope it
keeps its eye on the possible public benefits as well as their own bottom line.

Proceeding in a better way
A Dennie for your
thoughts | Changes to the UA
budget are infinitely better
$1
.784 million. That’s how
much money the Undergraduate Assembly allocated last year.
I’m willing to bet that
you, the average student at Penn, has no idea
where that money has gone or how it is being
spent.
You’re not alone.
The UA budget committee, which formulates
the entire budget for all six branches of student
government, has three members: the UA treasurer and two general body members. In the
past, the budget committee has done a poor job
of communicating the student government’s
budgetary needs to the UA general body.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about.
During last year’s budget meeting, Engineering
senior and then-UA member Matthew Feczko
pointed out a minor discrepancy in the budget as
the committee was presenting the budget to the
entire body: Penn Course Review was receiving
DENNIE ZASTROW
funding from both the Student Activities Council
and the Student Committee on Undergraduate
Education. But due to the complexities of the way
the budget meeting runs (parliamentary procedure takes itself pretty seriously), Feczko’s concerns were brushed aside. Today, Penn Course
Review is, essentially, being doubly funded. Your
student fees at work.
This is a perfect example of why the current
budget system is broken. Parliamentary procedure is used to ensure a fair and democratic process, but it’s hindering the ability of UA members
to point out logical errors and correct them.
Fortunately, this is not going to be one of those
“throw your hands up in the air because there’s
nothing we can do to fix this problem” columns.
After sitting down with both Alec Webley, the UA
chairman, and Sakina Zaidi, the UA treasurer,
it became clear that this issue has been recognized and they are taking great pains to fix it.
Webley told me that he and the entire
executive board believe that “the budget
process, particularly the budget meeting,
is a hot mess.” He went on to say that “it is
tangled up in enough parliamentary procedure to strangle anyone to death.”
Zaidi said “the budget meeting is always a
scary process but it’s something we’re working
on. It’s not fair to have groups only have their
voices heard during one budget meeting.” In an
effort to make the process more clear and open,
Zaidi and Webley said that they will attempt to
release a preliminary UA budget at least two
weeks before the budget meeting in the spring
semester.
Dasha Barannik, president of the Social Planning and Events Committee, which also receives
funding via the budget meeting, said she “certainly appreciates their efforts” to clean up the
budget process. A member of the budget committee has already met with Barannik and the rest
of SPEC’s executive board, and it’s only a few
weeks into the fall semester. This is certainly an
improvement over the past.
And meeting with groups earlier is not all the
UA is doing.
Webley said that he wants the budget to be
posted on the UA’s website, published in the
Daily Pennsylvanian, and sent out through an
all-school email. Students would then be able to
attend a meeting that would be separate from
the UA’s annual budget meeting, and here they
would be able to offer their input without the
constraints they would face in a more formal
setting.
I’m not one to shy away from criticizing the
UA (see: my first column), but this seems like
an issue that the executive board has already
started to tackle. Webley and Zaidi should be
commended for their efforts to clean up a notoriously messy and drawn out process.
If the UA is able to follow through on these
changes (which I believe it can and will) I think
the budget process will be infinitely more
transparent and accessible to students this
year.

Does positivity cripple the U.S.?
Journalist and Nickel and Dimed author
Barbara Ehrenreich discusses positive thinking
MINORITY AFFAIRS | The emergency
grant will go toward health, tuition costs
BY EILEEN ANZILOTTI
Contributing Writer
According to journalist and
best-selling author Barbara
Eh r en r eich , putt i ng on a
smile does not always make
you happier.
Last night, Ehrenreich visited College Hall to give the
Judith R. Berkowitz Lecture
in Women’s Studies. Ehrenrich discussed her experience with breast cancer, her
unconventional views on positive thinking and her upcoming book, Bright-Sided: How
the Relentless Promotion of
Positive Thinking Has Undermined America.
K nown primarily for her
candid social criticism and
wry humor, Ehrenreich delivered an unconventional
argument against our obsession with “positive thinking,”
exemplif ied by the “sappy
pink r ibbons” that draped
the room.
According to Ehrenreich,
our society’s bombardment
w ith constant pressure to
“put a smile on” and a belief
that “life is good” — the name
of a company with which she
expressed particular frustra-
tion — emerge as the strongest sources of negativity in
our society.
Drawing on her recent experiences with breast cancer and her observations on
the state of the victims of the
economic crisis, Ehrenreich
noted how, in both situations,
obsession with positivity actually resulted in an increase
in personal responsibilit y
and proneness to failure.
Citing recent popular selfhelp books, particular targets
of Ehrenreich’s criticism, she
emphasized the falsity of our
cu ltu ra l emphasis on t he
power of positive thinking to
improve any situation.
“ We have nothing to offer those people,” she said.
“Positive thinking won’t repair [real problems].”

BRIEF
Kaplan will open in
Radian on Oct. 19
The Radian will soon add
banking and test prepping to
its catalog of retail stores on
campus with the addition of
Bank of America and Kaplan
Test Prep.
Kaplan will open its newest branch on the bottom floor
of the Radian on Oct. 19, and
Bank of America will open a
branch in the building during
the first quarter of 2010.
Kaplan, which is currently
located at 220 S. 40th St., is
relocating to its new location
under the Radian because it is
a much larger space.
According to Kaplan spokeswoman Carina Wong, the new
space will have two more classrooms, a study lounge, projectors and a smartboard.
“Not only will students have
more space to study, but we’ll
be able to offer more classes,”
Wong wrote in an e-mail.
The center will also expand
its hours with the move.
Kaplan, which offers classroom and private tutoring for
graduate school admissions
exams, will offer the same
New grant will

course material at the new location.
Next door to Kaplan’s new
premises, Bank of America is
gearing up to move in.
According to Bank of America spokesman T.J. Crawford,
the corporation has had a
“long-standing goal to establish a Bank of America branch
to serve University City and
West Philadelphia.”
The new branch will offer a
full range of consumer banking
services.
Crawford added that Penn’s
redevelopment on the west
end of campus has done a lot
to revitalize the area, adding
to Bank of America’s decision
to come to Penn.
According to Facilities and
Real Estate Services Executive Director Ed Datz, both
businesses fit in well with
Penn’s strategy to bring both
local and national businesses
to campus and to the greater
community.

recipient of an emergency
grant provided by TCPW in
2007. Two years ago, Medina
was hit by a car while crossing 38th Street. She called
the grant “invaluable” in
helpi ng w ith med ica l expenses associated with the
incident.
Financial considerations
are also a major factor in
graduation rates of Latino
u nderg raduate st udents,
Casellas said.
Smith Muñiz agreed, explaining that Latinos graduate at a lower rate than the
general population as well
as other minority groups.
As a result, he said, one of
ALA’s goals is “ensuring every Latino student who gets
into Penn has a fair chance
of graduating.”
As of Wednesday af ternoon, the emergency fund
had reached $10,000 thanks
to Gil Casellas, who is a
member of the University
Board of Trustees, and two
other ALA board members,
according to Smith Muñiz.

his 28 pass attempts for 151
yards and a pair of second-half
touchdowns.

He saw the bulk of the passing plays, while junior starting
quarterback Keiffer Garton
tended to keep the ball on the
ground. But Olson only saw
such extensive time due to the
elbow injury Garton suffered
in the final play against Villanova.

further injury, we’d put the

“We’re not healthy,” Bagnoli

“My parents were at the
game, so it was fun for them
to see that,” he said.
Usually on the football field,
he lets his leg do the talking.
But once the snow thaws long
after football season, it’s his
arm that does the work.
In fact, it was track that initially led him to Hanover.
“When it came time to go
to college, the track coach encouraged me to come throw
here,” Kephart said.
“The opportunity” to kick at
Dartmouth followed.
But the two-sport athlete
can’t pick a favorite of the two
— or rather, doesn’t want to.
“[My favorite’s] pretty much
whatever I’m doing,” Kephart
said.
W hen Dar tmouth hosts
Penn this weekend in both
squads’ first Ivy matchup, the
Quakers will definitely be affected by Kephart’s leg.
And who knows, maybe that
throwing arm of his will make
a surprise appearance.

sive lapse comes as such a surprise. In fact, the five goals that
the Quakers (3-3-2) gave up
yesterday were the most they
have yielded in a game since
the 2007 season opener against
Seton Hall.
“Our team’s trademark is
our team defense,” Olopade
said. “11 guys weren’t on the
same page, so you can’t really
pinpoint one individual.”

The Wharton junior also
conceded that the Nittany Lions’ (6-3-1) gameplan made it
hard for the Quakers to exercise their own.
“Coming in, we wanted to
move the ball up quickly to our
forwards,” Olopade said, “ but
a lot of times we were losing
possession in our back half
which ended up getting us in
trouble.”
In order to bounce back from
the lopsided loss, all 11 Quakers
and their coaches need to get
on the same page, as the Ivy
League season begins Saturday at home against Cornell.
“We as coaches need to do a
better job of getting the team
ready to play at a high level.”
Fuller said. “On a day like today, they weren’t ready to play
at a high level.”
The Red and Blue are already putting this game behind
them and looking forward to
the League opener.
“I don’t think there’s any
question that the guys are going
to be ready to go on Saturday,”
Fuller said, despite his repetitions about a lack of readiness.
“I think we have too much
pride, and we’re a far better
team that what we showed
against Penn State.”

Play of the game:
Senior Lindsay Majno’s goal
Not even a minute after
freshman midfielder Deanna
DiCroce put Lafayette on
the board with her sixth
goal of the season, senior
forward Lindsay Majno netted her fourth score of the
year on a reverse flip from
the middle of the circle to
the right side of the cage.
The goal put the game out
of reach for the Quakers.
DiCroce dribbled past three
defenders to score unassisted from the top of the circle
and net her sixth goal of the
season.
“She has good stick work and
she had some good little lifts
and all it took was for her to
beat that one defender and get
that speed,” Rose said. “Then
it was either a one-on-one or
she basically had no defense
at all.”
Less than a minute after DiCroce’s goal, Lafayette’s senior midfielder Lindsay Majno
took a reverse-stick shot and
whizzed the ball past Penn
goalkeeper Kieran Sweeney
to put her team ahead 2-0.
“It kind of pushes you back
a little when you [allow] two
r ight in a row,” McGar v ie
said of her squad’s defensive
br e a kdow n . “ We’ ve come
back from two goals before.
We definitely weren’t thinking we couldn’t come back.”
Despite Sweeney’s impressive defensive st a nd w ith
eight saves on the game, the
Quakers could not generate
enough of fense to change
the outcome in the final ten
minutes.

Gone in 54 seconds
Field hockey | Lafayette nets successive
goals in just under one minute to top Penn
BY JENNIFER SCUTERI
Associate Sports Editor
A lot can happen in 54 seconds. In the case of the Penn
field hockey team, it was surrendering back-to-back goals to
Lafayette.
The Quakers dropped the
game 2-0 to the visiting Leopards
last night at Franklin Field.
“I have to give them credit,”
coach Val Cloud said. “[Lafayette was] very aggressive to the
ball and with the ball. We just
couldn’t adjust to their system
out there.”
Penn was well-adjusted the
entire first half, as they kept
the Leopards (8-2) off the scoreboard.
“We were communicating

But the Quakers (3-6, 1-1 Ivy)
were unable to connect for a
score. The Red and Blue took six
shots on goal the entire game —
the same number of shots that
Lafayette freshman midfielder
Deanna DiCroce took by herself.
“[There were] two different
teams out there strategy-wise,”
Cloud said.
“We had some great opportunities but we’d only make it
so far,” senior co-captain Katie
Rose added. “We had it in our

offensive end but not in the circle
enough.”
Despite utilizing both the left
and right sides of the field in the
second half, the Quakers only
had one penalty corner. And because of a bumbled stop at the
top of the circle, it could not be
converted into a goal.
“We [ just] didn’t get enough

NOTEBOOK | Injuries
complicate position
battles at QB and RB
BY Neil fanaroff
Senior Staff Writer
Katie Rubin/DP Senior Photographer
For six quarters, freshman
running back Lyle Marsh was
nothing more than an occasional
short-yardage back for the Quakers. But after his second-half
performance Saturday against
Lafayette, Penn fans know that
the future is bright — at least in
the backfield.
“He’s ver y talented. He’s
physical, he runs with his pads
low, he’s got better-than-average
speed and he’s got really good vision,” coach Al Bagnoli said. “So
we’re not at all surprised. He’s
done everything that we thought
he was capable of doing.”
Marsh ran for 85 yards on 15
carries Saturday after entering
the game in the third quarter.
His playing time was not strategy-related, but rather necessitated by injuries to those ahead
of him on the depth chart.
Sophomore running back Matt
Hamscher was held out of the
game after being injured against
Villanova, and junior running
backs Mike DiMaggio and Bradford Blackmon were roughed up
in the first half. Blackmon would
get back in the game, but only
lined up at wide receiver.
Marsh’s performance was
good enough to earn him Ivy
League Rookie of the Week
honors, but the honor is only the
first step for him.
“I guess it’s a pretty good hon-
Junior running back Mike DiMaggio (31) suffered an injury in the first half against Lafayette and did not see the field after halftime. With sophomore
Matt Hamscher out and junior Bradford Blackmon also hampered by injuries, freshman Lyle Marsh impressed his coaches in the second half.

OPPONENT SPOTLIGHT
| Dartmouth kickoff
man doubles as
thrower in the spring
Dartmouth Athletics relies
quite heavily on one arm and one
leg of Don Kephart.
The junior is the kickoff specialist and back-up field goal kicker
for Big Green football. And in the
spring, he suits up for the track
team as a thrower, participating
in shot put, discus and javelin.
Growing up in Lafayette, Calif.,
Kephart was “exclusively a soccer player” until middle school,
apparently strengthening his legs
for the role that was to come.
He started on the track team
in middle school, but it wasn’t
until high school that he stepped
onto the football field.
Kephart didn’t find his specialty right away, starting with
a ga mut of
positions like

and linebacker

put, discus and
“I had the

best leg,” he
said simply.
After starting his college career on Dartmouth’s junior varsity team, the kicker’s leg soon
won him a starting varsity spot.
He played the last six games of
the 2007 season, averaging 60.7
yards per kick. The job was all
his in 2008, as he played in each
of the Big Green’s 10 games and
averaged 59 yards per kick. In
the first two games this season,
Kephart has kicked off seven
times at an average of 53 yards.
Although his job as the kickoff man usually flies somewhat
under the radar, that’s okay with
Kephart.
He said “Do your job” is coach
Buddy Teevens’ motto for each
of his players.
“So for me personally, my job is
to kick the ball off where it needs
to go with good hang time every
time,” he said.
And once in a while, Kephart
gets to help out in other ways.
One of the highlights of his career is making a tackle his freshman year.

The men’s soccer team was
not prepared for yesterday’s
game against Penn State.
Payback was in order for the
Nittany Lions, who lost 3-0 at
Rhodes Field last season. This
time around, the Quakers were
thumped 5-0 in University Park,
Pa. Four of Penn State’s five
goals came in the second half.
Penn coach Rudy Fuller readily accepted blame for the loss.
“Our guys clearly were not
prepared properly for this game.
There’s no other excuse for it,”
he said, acknowledging the fault
of the coaching staff.
“I think myself and my assistants have to take a good hard
look at what we need to change
to get these guys better prepared.”
Forward Tobi Olopade agreed
with his coach.
“The result isn’t indicative of
the level of our team, how good
I think our program actually is,”
Olopade said. “Sometimes the
ball doesn’t bounce your way.”
