sisting arrest, among other
charges, on April 1.
His preliminary hearing
is scheduled for April 15.
Police discovered a small
fire outside the Phi Delta
Theta fraternity house, located at 3700 Locust Walk, at
about 1:45 a.m. last Friday,
according to Penn Police
Chief Mark Dorsey.
While police were investigating the cause of the fire,
Egeman allegedly punched
an officer in the face, Dorsey
said.
Egeman is now awaiting
his preliminary hearing, in
which the judge will determine whether or not there is
enough evidence to warrant
a regular trial.
He is also charged with
simple assault and reckless
endangerment of another
person. His bail was set April
1 at $5,000 and was posted
the same day, according to
court documents.

In line with trends over the past few years,
Penn’s waitlist size for the Class of 2015 has continued to shrink.
This year, Penn placed 2,400 students on the
waitlist, Dean of Admissions Eric Furda said.
This marks a decrease from about 3,000 waitlist
spots last year and more than 3,500 two years
ago.
The University’s waitlist volume this year is
similar to the total number of regular decision

APRIL 12, 1985: ADMINISTRATOR ENVISIONS A
UNIVERSITY WITH COMPUTERS
Today, students are found working on laptops everywhere from
dorms to classrooms to the College Green. Students check their
email repeatedly throughout the
day and submit papers online via
Blackboard. However, in 1985,
this reality was still just a vision.
In an interview with The Daily
Pennsylvanian, Vice Provost for
Computing David Stonehill imagined future students “bringing
their own computers to school,
or buying them while they’re here
— we won’t require that.” These
computers would permit students
to use better word processing
programs, unlike on typewriters
where, “you can’t insert, you can’t
delete, you can’t change or interchange the order.”
ISRAELI expert
talks electric
cars
He said that creating a network
for computers across campus
would be “complex technically,”
and that for each dorm to have a
computer, the price of computers
would have to come down first.
Stonehill also conjectured that
“Electronic mail ... is going to be
very interesting for a student to
use.” He believed electronic mail
would be an especially important
development, causing people to
“communicate in much less formal ways.” For example, Stonehill
predicted: “Where we now write
two pages, what we tend to do in
an electronic mail service is write
at most a paragraph and usually
a couple of sentences.”

movement to electrify

Poet
Black Ice (born Lamar Manson),
grew up in Philly’s notorious
North side and was encouraged
by his mother to explore the
thoughts in his young mind. His
1999 debut performance in the
HBO’s Def Poetry Jam series
made such an impression that he
became the most featured poet
on all five seasons of the hit
show. In 2003 he joined the cast
of Def Jam Poetry on Broadway, which earned
him a Tony award for Special Theatrical Event.
His debut album, The Death of Willie Lynch,
brings Black Ice’s unique brand of rhythmic poetry to the forefront of popular music. With a
cadence that jumps from the traditional pattern
used by spoken artists to the hard hitting wordplay utilized by some of the world’s best MCs,
Black Ice is truly a unique talent.

only be “repeated,” though not

“Here, my time is done,” he
said. “Any more time spent here
may dilute or detract from the
work … that I’ve done.”
Second-year College student
Rita Wahba plans to graduate
in May 2012. However, unlike
Levenstein, she is reluctant to
leave campus.
When Wahba realized she
could complete her history major within three years by taking the necessary 32 credits to
graduate, she decided to accept
it as a positive opportunity. “If
I can save my parents $50,000
‘‘
I’m particularly
passionate about
what I study. I tend to
feel stifled if I’m not
overly challenged.”
— Michael Levenstein,
A political science major who
is graduating after two years to
pursue a law degree in England
… it’s the most logical thing to
do,” she said.
Next year, Wahba will be applying to graduate schools, including Penn. She said that she
would like to stay at Penn so as
not to miss out on what would
have been her senior year.
Wahba said that while she
will lament not graduating with
the majority of the students she
has gotten to know during her
time at Penn, she has a few
friends who will also be graduating early.
“It’s sad … everything happens so quickly,” she said, yet
“it will be nice, I guess, to move
forward.”
Like Levenstein, third-year
Wharton and Engineering student Peter Maa plans to graduate this May.
Taking the opportunity to
graduate a year ahead of schedule from the Jerome Fisher
Program in Management and
Technology, Maa used his 13
Advanced Placement credits
and took six to seven classes
per semester to fulfill his degrees.
“When my parents heard that
I had the potential to graduate
early, they kind of jumped at
it,” Maa said. “Saving a year
of tuition at Penn is a lot of
money.”
And that money, he said,
could go toward his plans to
study in China next year, an
experience that would cost less
than a third of a Penn-affiliated
program.
However, there is a downside to N

Some say college is the best
four years of your life. But for
a handful of Penn undergraduates, it could be the best two.
When second-year College
student Michael Levenstein
arrived on campus at the start
of freshman year, he was “very
committed” to studying at Penn
for the next four years like most
undergraduates.
Levenstein, however, is not
just any Penn student. After
completing his first year, Levenstein’s status as “freshman”
moved to that of “senior” with
the help of a heavy courseload
and International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement
credits.
Currently completing his
major in political science,
Levenstein plans to graduate
this May. While his plans to
graduate in two years are the
exception, around three percent of each class graduates a
semester or more shy of four
years, according to the Office
of the Provost.
While he considered a double-major and submatriculation on top of his degree,
“I never exhibited the same
types of interests” in topics
other than political science,
he said.
In addition to taking six to
seven classes per semester
since the second semester
of his freshman year, the former Undergraduate Assembly representative is quick to
talk about his laundry list of
interests and activities, which
include writing his ninth book,
on his favorite topic — political
science.
“I’m particularly passionate
about what I study,” he said.
“I tend to feel stifled if I’m not
overly challenged.”
For most students, graduating early is a very personal
decision with pros and cons,
senior associate director of
Career Services Kelly Cleary
wrote in an email. It may mean
“foregoing a study abroad opportunity or taking an elective that could bring a great
deal of professional or personal
growth,” she wrote.
Even so, Levenstein explained he feels as though he
has had a complete “college
experience” at Penn.
“I really feel like I haven’t

China.
Wharton students who graduate early may find it difficult
because they may lag behind
their peers in terms of internships, senior associate director
of Career Services Barbara
Hewitt said.
Nevertheless, putting four
years of work into three has
proven successful. Maa recently received the Beta Gamma
Sigma honor society’s award
for the highest graduating
grade point average.
When Maa told his friends he
was considering early graduation, they were “skeptical that I
could do it and skeptical that it
was a good idea,” he said. “But
on the whole, people are very
understanding.”
While he has enjoyed his
time at Penn, “it was really
rushed,” he said. Maa added
that people who can afford
to stay the entire four years
should do so.
“But then again, it’s also
kind of a relief,” he said.
“Coming up on three years
and not having to take any
more classes — it’s kind of a
good feeling.”
For Ashley Stewardson,
who graduated a semester
early from the College in December 2009, the opportunity
to finish her courses ahead of
schedule “wasn’t intentional,”
she said.
By taking a fifth class for
multiple semesters and studying in Florence one summer,
she accumulated enough credits to graduate.
However, unlike most graduates, Stewardson decided to
stay on Penn’s campus. “I
didn’t look at graduation as
leaving Penn,” she said, because “I certainly did not want
to get away.”
While some friends were
puzzled as to how Stewardson
would occupy herself without
classes or a full-time job, she
spent her open semester studying for the Chartered Financial
Analyst exam, working part
time and hanging out with her
friends and sorority sisters.
“My parents were thrilled,”
she said, about not having to
pay for her tuition for another
semester. Without classes to
worry about, Stewardson had
more time to travel. She joined
Alexa Jones, another December 2009 College graduate, on
a trip to the Kentucky Derby
while all of their senior friends
were taking their final exams.
For Jones, however, graduating early did not mean missing
out on important traditions.
She opted to walk with the
rest of the Class of 2010 in
May at Franklin Field. “That
was really important to me,”
she said.
“It was a nice way to end college … and adapt to life after
Penn.”

Penn community unites to
Take Back the Night
For the third time at Penn, campus will come
together to raise awareness of sexual violence
BY EILLIE ANZILOTTI
Tonight, Penn’s campus
will come together to speak
out against sexual violence.
A n i nt er nat iona l event
that started in Philadelphia
in 1975, Take Back The Night
will take place for the third
time at Penn.
Take Back The Night begins with a rally and march
on College Green, followed
by a candlelight vigil at Wynn
Commons where sexual assault sur vivors will share
their personal stories with
the crowd. The event hopes to
“raise awareness and start a
dialogue” about the presence
of sexual and dating violence
on college campuses, College
senior and coordinator Liat
Fleming-Shemer said.
Sexual violence is often
somet h i ng “ people g loss
over, and it’s a really uncomfortable thing for people to
talk about,” Shemer added.
Take Back The Night aims
to “unify campus and create
an environment that is safe
for survivors,” College junior
and coordinator Joseph Lawless said.
This year in particular,
the event emphasizes that
“sexual violence transcends
gender, identity and status,”
College senior and Undergraduate Assembly President Matt Amalfitano wrote
in an email.
The speaker will be Gary
Cuccia, a Greensburg, Pa.,
native whose daughter was
murdered by her ex-boyfriend one day after her 16th
birthday in 2007. Amalfitano,
a member of One in Four —
Penn’s all-male sexual assault peer-education group
— wrote that he hopes the
presence of a male anti-violence advocate at the event
will “inspire other men to be
involved with these issues.”
One in Four derives its
name from the statistic that
25 percent of college women
will experience some form of
sexual violence before they
graduate.
W h i le such v iolence is
“something that disproportionately af fects women,”
Shemer said, the statistic of
‘one in four’ in heterosexual
relationships does not fully
convey the reality of sexual
violence, Lawless said.
“There’s so much more
work to be done in this area,
like looking at what causes
the violence,” he added.
Given the progress still to
be made in understanding
sexual violence, it is crucial
that advocates “have a persistent voice on campus,”
College senior and Abuse and
Sexual Assault Prevention
Chairwoman Rebecca Reicherter wrote in an email.
Take Back The Night occurs each year to inform new
members of the Penn community that they can “make a
difference and decrease the
incidence of sexual and domestic abuse on campus.”
The event “was one of the
most profound experiences
I’ve had at Penn,” College junior Meg Hlousek said.
“My dream for the world is
that you don’t have to worry
about what time you’re leaving somewhere,” Hlousek
added. “Everyone should be
able to do what they want,
when they want, without the
fear of their bodies being attacked.”
For other students, Take
Back The Night is a way to
show support for family members and friends who have
been affected by domestic or
sexual violence.
“It was always something
I felt strongly about growing
up,” said Wharton sophomore
Morgan Humphrey, the vice
president of curriculum and
training for ASAP. Witnessing members of her family
deal with issues of domestic
violence has inspired her involvement with advocacy at
Penn.
“I knew I wanted to promote sexual violence education to make this world a
better and safer place for my
little sisters,” A malf itano
wrote of his three younger
sisters.
The unity fostered through
the stories shared at Take
Back The Night , Lawless
said, “bolsters and enriches
the narrative of the entire
campus community.”

Med schools suggest
changes to MCAT
The new test, to debut in 2015, would feature
social science and biochemistry concepts
BY KRYSTAL BONNER
Staff Writer
Future pre-med students
may face a longer and more
extensive Medical College Admission Test.
Last Thursday, the Association of American Medical
Colleges released recommendations for a new MCAT to be
adopted in 2015.
Proposed additions to the
exam include a behavioral
and social sciences section, a
critical analysis and reasoning
section, and advanced science
material. The recommendations also eliminate the writing section and add 90 minutes
to the current exam, bringing
the total exam time to seven
hours.
Amjed Saffarini, the executive director of pre-health programs for Kaplan Test Prep,
explained that the suggestions
reflect changes in the practice
of medicine since the MCAT
was last revised in 1990.
Saffarini noted that though
social science concepts lie outside the traditional pre-med
curriculum, it has become
increasingly obvious to medical educators that compassion
and understanding of different
populations are skills that have
“a lot to do with whether you’re
a good doctor.”
Saffarini added the proposed
addition of biochemistry and
cellular and molecular biology
concepts reflect the vast medical advances in the past two
decades.

School, said the changes mirror a trend in medical education toward more coursework
in “specific sciences that relate
to the context of medicine.”
In addition to psychology and
sociology, Saffarini explained
the inclusion of these advanced
science concepts could result
in “essentially a doubling” of
pre-med coursework.
If the new test indeed requires additional pre-requisites, College sophomore
and pre-med student Emily Schapira said she would
be concerned about space for
electives in future pre-med
students’ schedules. “Some of
my best academic experiences
so far have been in classes that
don’t apply to what I’m going to
be doing professionally,” she
said.
While Agrawal felt these
changes would not have a “very
large impact on a person’s undergraduate career,” he noted
that pre-meds would “have to
devote more attention and time
to their pre-med career.”
Schapira, a biology major,
POSSIBLE MCAT
CHANGES IN 2015
- The test will take an
additional 90, totalling seven
hours.
- The writing component will
be eliminated.
- New sections will include:
behavioral and social
sciences, critical analysis
and reasoning.
- More advanced science
material will be included.
added that students majoring
in the humanities could have
more difficulty balancing their
pre-med and major requirements.
Peter Stokes, senior associate director of Career Services, was more hesitant to make
predictions about the new
MCAT and wrote in an email
that “it’s not yet entirely clear
how pre-requisites for medical school might change—if
indeed there will be additional
requirements, or if requirements might just be structured
differently.”
Because medical schools
value majors outside the sciences, Stokes wrote “it is hard
to imagine them instituting requirements that would make
pursuing such majors impracticable.”
The preliminary recommendations will be reviewed by the
AAMC Board of Directors in
February 2012.

portraits of Jack Johnson and
John Mayer, an entire crew
team sailing through the water
and an imitation of Vincent van
Gogh’s Starry Night painting.
On Wednesday, Hao showcased his work on Locust Walk
as a part of Keds’ “How Do You
Do?” marketing campaign in
Philadelphia.
“[Hao] is the perfect example of serious creativity applied to every day,” College
sophomore Jenna Heidenberg,
a Keds campus representative, said.
With special leather paints,
the budding artist creates colorful shoes that are not only
fun to look at but are also
wearable and waterproof.
“[Customers] have different degrees of knowledge of
what they want,” Hao said,
adding that every shoe is one
of a kind.
Potential customers can explore his work and order shoes
on Hao’s website.
“En Hao Kicks is indica-

want to read it.’ But of course
it’s not the case that all are
doomed.”
He gave examples of both
modern and ancient societies facing similar problems,
focusing specifically on the
complete deforestation of
Easter Island in Polynesia.
“The case of Easter Island
grabs people the most,” Diamond said. “It is an obvious
metaphor for the state of planet earth … when resources
run out, like Easter Island,
we have no neighbors, no surrounding galaxies to help.”
tive of how a young creative
person does something,” said
Heidenberg, who paired Hao
and Keds with the help of
Wharton junior and Wharton
Retail Club President Marlena
Filipowska.
Filipowska added that Keds
are classic given their long
history, and that Hao “takes
advantage of these simple
sneakers and makes them
special for everyone.”
Hao displayed four pairs of
shoes with designs inspired by
Penn and Philadelphia.
Each pair was painted differently — a yellow women’s
shoe showcased the Philadelphia skyline, complete with
the Comcast building. Hao’s
trademark signature, along
with a design of the love statue, is displayed on the back of
the shoe.
Another pair of men’s shoes
was embellished with a detailed design of College Hall
and the Quadrangle with Hao’s
signature juxtaposed against
the Penn coat of arms.
After the event, students
were able to bid on the shoes
through En Hao’s Facebook
fan page. The auction will run
for a week, starting on Thursday.
“Keds is the original canvas
shoe, and for En, it’s literally a
canvas,” Heidenberg said.
Hao has painted 26 pairs
of shoes total, but no one on
Penn’s campus owns a pair of
these colorful, unique shoes
yet.
“Right now I am a full-time
college student, and my main
goal is to build brand awareness,” Hao said. Hao hopes
to accomplish this through
events like the Keds campaign.
However, he is also hoping
to help the community with
his company. Hao is in talks
with the Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation and
hopes to connect with Boston
Celtics Basketball player Ray
Allen.
Looking forward, Hao hopes
to customize a pair of shoes
for Allen — whose son has
juvenile diabetes — and then
sell the shoe, giving all of the
proceeds to charity.
Diamond also spoke of the
differences between modern
societies and those of the
past, providing lessons drawn
from history.
He criticized government
and politicians’ decision to
place busi ness i nt er est s
ahead of environmental issues. He urged the audience
to “take environmental problems seriously”, adding that
“the environment is not a
luxury to deal with after our
economy gets into shape.”
Warning against society’s
“insulated elite” in gated
communities, Diamond said,
“Just as the Mayan k ings
didn’t look out their w indows and see the problems
of deforestation, the wealthy
people are walled off from
their communities drinking
bottled water.”
Many students in attendance, including those who
had not read his work, were
intrigued by Diamond’s perspective.
W ha r ton ju nior Br ya nt
Yik added, “Although I didn’t
study Diamond before, I found
a lot of things he’s saying very
relevant.”
Member s of t he Ph i lo mathean Society were satisfied with the lecture, yet
desired to hear more.
“I would have liked if he
talked more about ways to
implement some of his ideas,”
Wharton and Engineering
sophomore and Philo member Johnathan Mell said.
“He tends to take a position
with governmental intervention, which is definitely the
most sufficient way in some
respects,” College freshman
and Philo member Michael
L autma n sa id . “But only
when there is a positive solution.”

Your Voice | Acting on outrage
Last week, a group of individuals released a series of videos
parodying campus election campaigns. One video in particular, which depicts the candidate pandering to minority and
marginalized communities for votes while grossly misrepresenting their identities, offended members of the very groups
— including us — it purports to support.
We found the juxtaposition of claims of women’s rights with
the objectification of women’s bodies disturbing. We found the
gorilla in African garb disturbing. We found the taunting of the
open and welcoming messages of the lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender community disturbing. What is most disturbing, however, are the very material ways that sexism, racism
and homophobia manifest at Penn, in Philadelphia, across the
United States and in every corner of the world.
The existence of the video and the response of campus individuals to the video clearly indicate that the issues it presented
are still sensitive and fragile. Instead of channeling our anger
as an expression of offense, it may be more productive for us
all to redirect our energies to the conversations that are not
happening but are severely necessary. Let’s challenge the
prevalence of street harassment and sexual assault. Let’s call
for fewer black men in prisons and more with quality educations. Let’s move for an end to LGBT youth suicides.
How does this action start? The opportunities at Penn are
endless. This week, how about attending Take Back the Night?
Join your peers tonight at 6 p.m. on College Green as we rally
and march to peacefully protest sexual violence.

Correction | ‘Decreased diversity’
On Monday, The Daily Pennsylvanian published an editorial arguing that a decrease in the
percentage of minority students in the prospective Class of 2015 counteracted the University’s
commitment to diversity (“Decreased diversity,”
4/4/2011).
The data on which the editorial was based was
incorrect. Self-identified minority students represent 52 percent of the incoming class and not 44
percent, a figure that did not include international
students. The diversity of this year’s incoming
class actually increased over that of last year’s
class.
Paradise misguided
Truth be told | In trying to create the perfect state,
Arizona is punishing those who need help instead
I
ndulge me. Sit back and imagine a certain utopia.
A place where evildoers are
pulled over for not quite passing the brown paper bag test.
A paradise where the standards for
patriotism (read: “righteousness”)
are so high that simply being born on
its soil isn’t enough to ensure citizenship.
This is a nirvana where guns and
ammunition flow like milk and honey
at political rallies, college campuses
and even bars. And in your drunken
bliss, you won’t be able to distinguish
your cell phone holster from your pistol holster. Picture a place where poor
transplant patients have the business
savvy to found a Fortune 500 company
to pay for their own operations.
This is the perfect world as seen by
the visionary genius of Arizona Gov.
Jan Brewer (R) and the state legislature, who now suggest a sublime
addition — a tax on Medicaid recipients who smoke or are obese. Sheer
brilliance!
By proposing to offer up the poor
and the sick on the sacrificial altar to
attaining a balanced budget, the Arizona lawmakers have demonstrated a
glaring disregard for the complexity
of nature. There’s an aggressive arrogance in their pretending to have
a complete understanding of those
disease processes.
The Wall Street Journal reports
that a spokeswoman for the state’s
Medicaid program said that the measure is a “way to reward good behavior and raise awareness that certain
conditions, including obesity, raise
costs throughout the system.”
But why stop at utopia when you
can bring heaven to your doorstep? If
overeating and smoking are risky behaviors that drive up healthcare costs,
why not levy a tax on people who play
football or grow up in a crime-ridden
neighborhood or suntan regularly —
or who live in Philadelphia?
In February, Philadelphia topped
Forbes magazine’s list of America’s
10 Most Toxic Cities. Forbes cites levels of trihalomethanes, a carcinogen,
to be a factor in granting Philly the
worst overall water rating. Living
here, then, is a relative risk over living anywhere else deemed to be less
toxic.
But are such behaviors easy to separate into taxable and non-taxable?
The name of the game here is reducing costs by penalizing people who
engage in behaviors that raise health
risks.
“To be fair, the governor can add
the same tax to water-sk iing, jet
skiing, horseback riding, mountain
bik ing, owning a swimming pool,
paragliding, rock climbing, failing to
wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle (Arizona has a very weak law) or
choosing to work in roofing, mining or
construction — or any other activity
that carries a risk,” Arthur Caplan,
director for the Penn Center of Bioethics, argued in a recent column on
msnbc.com.
The deeper issue here is that these
risky behaviors that Brewer cites as
contributing to the healthcare prob-
MARK ATTIAH
lem aren’t entirely behaviors in the
first place. Many view overeating and
chain smoking as failures of character, a lack of will and dedication.
But this understanding isn’t taking into account the entire picture
of addiction as part of a pathological
process. Addictive substances, including nicotine and even high-fat foods,
activate a reward system that causes
an individual to become dependent
with repeated usage over time.
This is a simplistic explanation, of
course. Obesity and smoking have
many other factors that come into
play — including social, psychological and even genetic — over which the
individual has little or no control. To
a degree, then, Brewer’s law is better
understood as a tax on simply being
who you are.
This shortsighted proposal fails
to take into consideration all of the
implications of pointing the finger at
a single subset of people. It’s simply
scapegoating a vulnerable group to
satisfy lawmakers’ take-no-prisoners
agenda of balancing the budget. This
feigned interest in improving the public health is a poor excuse for mistaking the obese poor for fat cash cows.

A fundamental donation
Guest Column By Seniors for the Penn Fund |
Donating to the Penn Fund is one way of saying thanks
N
ex t t i me you’r e i n
class; at Smokes; at a
Shabbatones, Atma or
Mask & Wig show; or
while you’re rocking
out to Ratatat at Spring Fling — look
to your left. Then look to your right.
Then imagine if one of those people
weren’t at Penn. Because if it weren’t
for the Penn Fund, chances are that
he or she wouldn’t be.
The majority of gifts to the Penn
Fund support financial aid, which
about half of our classmates rely on
— a number that, when you think
about it, is stunning and unknown
to most Penn students. At Seniors
for The Penn Fund, our main goal
is to promote the habit of giving by
encouraging contributions at any
level.
We understand why some students
have problems with this. “But my parents already pay $50,000 a year for me
to come here” or “I’ll do it once I have
a job.” But consider this — even if you
or your parents pay full tuition for
you to come here, that price only covers 70 percent of the cost of your education. Without the Penn Fund and
other sources, that $50,000 tuition
would really be $71,000 per year.
Staggering and shocking, no doubt.
But what is remarkable is that alumni, friends and — most importantly
— many generations of seniors, have
come together to subsidize our education through loyal support of the
Penn Fund every year. And for those
who do receive financial assistance,
Penn’s new grant program ensures
that we will graduate free of debt.
Giving now creates a habit, is one
way of saying thanks to prior Penn
seniors and alumni and puts forward
the same gift that we received to a
future generation.
Look, we’re not going to ask you
to put your name on a building until
2016 at the earliest. But by coming
together as a class now, we’ll get our
peers and ourselves in gear for a lifetime of making a difference through
giving.
Many of you reading this have taken
Psychology 001 by now, so we’ll spare
you the discussion of the “foot-in-thedoor” approach. Be a Highba’11er
and check out our website — www.

gift to Penn and be a part of the tradition.

acceptances, which was 2,685.
Penn admitted a total of 3,880
of 31,659 students to the Class of
2015 — a record-low acceptance
rate of 12.3 percent.
Furda said last year’s waitlist total “definitely seemed to
grab the attention of the public”
because it was one of the highest reported numbers in the Ivy
League.
This year, the Admissions Office “was looking to manage that
number down in a way that was
responsible for Penn,” he said.
“At the end of the day, what matters most is whether we’re able
to deliver the class we need.”
Though he cannot provide exact numbers until May 1 — the
date when students must notify
Penn whether or not they plan
to attend — Furda said he expects around 60 percent of those
placed on the waitlist to accept
their spot.
If initial yield rates are near
what he is anticipating, he said
that around 55 students could be
taken off the waitlist by July — a
similar number to last year.

Furda added. “It can help provide a cushion if certain numbers aren’t where we predicted
them to be.”
Compared to peer schools
that have released waitlist totals for the Class of 2015, Penn’s
overall volume still remains in
the upper ranks.
Throughout the Ivy League,
Cornell University is the only
school so far that has reported
a higher waitlist number than
Penn. Compared to last year’s
total of 2,563, Cornell offered
2,988 applicants a spot on the
waitlist this year.
Princeton and Yale universities, as well as Dartmouth
College, have reported waitlist
totals of 1,248, 996 and 1,984, respectively.
For the Class of 2015, “there’s
going to be a lot of overlap
among students accepted to top
schools,” Michele Hernandez,
president of Hernandez College
Consulting, said.
“You want a fair amount of wiggle room so you can hand pick a
class from across a diverse spectrum,” she added. “Yield rates
are getting harder and harder to
predict, and you want your school
to have options.”
Furda agreed, adding that
the students in Penn’s recently
admitted classes have had more
overlap with schools like Princeton and Harvard University
— a trend that may be contributing to the University’s steady

over the past three years.
Students who were placed on
the waitlist for the Class of 2015
offered mixed reactions to the
news.
“It’s definitely an honor to even
find myself among those who still
have a chance to get in,” said Sirus Jesudasen, a senior at Seven
Lakes High School in Katy, Texas. Jesudasen, who has already
accepted his spot on the waitlist,
compared his chances of getting
taken off to “picking a winning
lottery ticket.”
However, Maggie Axelrod
— a senior at Absegami High
School in Galloway, N.J. — said
learning of her waitlist status at
Penn has all but sealed the deal
for her to attend Georgetown
University in the fall.
Though remaining on the
waitlist can sometimes mean
two more months without
knowing a final decision, College freshman Whitney Mash
— who was accepted off the
waitlist near the end of June
2010 — said students should go
through with it if Penn is truly
their top choice.
“You definitely get a bit frustrated just sitting around, but I
wouldn’t change what I did,” she
said. “Good things can come to
those who wait.”

‘EduHookups’ site aims
to expand to the Ivies
EduHookups, which started at the University
of Chicago, plans to target Ivy League schools
Trustees’ Council of Penn Women congratulates
Dr. Demie Kurz
Co-Director of the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
Program and the Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender,
Sexuality, and Women
Department of Sociology
Recipient of the 2nd Annual TCPW/Provost’s Award, April 2011.
TCPW also extends its sincere thanks to Provost
Vincent Price for his warm partnership and
dedication to the principles of gender equity.
The Trustees’ Council of Penn Women/Provost Award recognizes
significant contributions to advancing the role of women in
higher education and research at Penn. Dr. Kurz has long been a
strong advocate for women, and a special advisor and friend to
TCPW.
BY SARA SCHONFELD
Staff Writer
A new website that hopes to
replace the “casual encounters” section of Craigslist for
college students may soon offer its services to Penn.
EduHookups.com opened in
March. It started at the University of Chicago and has since
expanded to 10 other schools,
including Brown, Columbia
and Yale universities.
According to a spokesman
from the anonymously run site
— who went only by “Danny”
— Penn is among eduHookups’
next targets. The site’s most
recent goal is to bring the Chicago project to all Ivy League
schools.
Danny said eduHookups is
well-suited for Ivy Leagues because students tend to be “more
open-mined, more liberal.”
According to the website, a
group of Chicago undergraduates used a coding project as
an excuse to transform their
school from a place “where fun
comes to die” to a place “where
fun comes to thrive.”
Danny described the website as a combination of the
anonymity and structure of
Craigslist with the safety of
Facebook and the qualities of
a dating site.
EduHookups has fostered
ever ything from one night
stands to serious relationship queries since it expanded
outside of Chicago. Currently, about 2,000 students use
eduHookups, Danny said.
For Chicago, eduHookups
hoped to dispel the rumors that
“the squirrels are cuter than
the girls and more aggressive
than the guys,” according to
the website. But despite all its
attempt to change Chicago’s
image, freshman Shirley Yan
said she does not want her college to be associated with the
website for its intended purpose.
“I think it’s funny,” Yan said.
She explored the site because
it was something amusing her
friends had suggested. Yan described it as a “sketchier version” of LikeALittle — which
allows students to post anonymous compliments online —
because eduHookups offers
the opportunity to have “actual
human contact.”
None of Yan’s friends actively
use the website, browsing the
website for fun instead, but Yan
said she believes some people
really are using the website.
“Some people are like, ‘I’m
not looking for anything serious,’” she explained. “But
some just want something
short term.”
“I’m guessing we attract
a good variety,” Danny said.
Some users may be unhappy
in their current relationships,
or others might be looking for a
one-night stand, he said.
Although eduHookups has
received mixed responses
from larger media attention,
the response has been “very
positive” from college students,
according to Danny.
“We are reaching our target
audience,” he said.
The Penn Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) is an undergraduate
student-run, service organization providing emergency medical services to the
University community by providing professional, timely, and high-quality prehospital treatment.

An alleged carjacker was shot
twice and killed during a struggle with Penn Police at about
11:00 a.m. on Apr. 17 near 40th
and Spruce streets.
The shooting — which occurred on the 200 block of Preston Street , between Spruce and
Locust streets — followed a highspeed car chase west on Spruce
St. in which the suspect crashed
into a line of parked cars and injured a female pedestrian.
The suspect was taken to the
Hospital of the University of
Pennsylvania and died from gunshot wounds at 12:37 p.m.
The pedestr ian, who is a
Health System employee , was
also transported to HUP and is
currently in stable condition.

VP Rush says Penn Police is trained extensively, but communication is her ‘biggest concern’
By JARED MILLER
AND TALI YAHALOM
News Editors
[email protected]
[email protected]
In the wake of shootings on
the Virginia Tech campus, Vice
President of Public Safety Maureen Rush called for better com-
munication and improved student
preparedness as the best way to
ensure safety if a similar incident
were to occur on campus.
Thirty-two people were killed
before an unidentified gunman
took his own life on Apr. 16 at the
rural Virginia campus in the worst
mass shooting in United States
history.
And while no comparable tragedy has ever occurred at Penn, “If,
God forbid, the circumstances at
Virginia Tech had happened here,
we would have been prepared to
have a response,” Rush said.
Rush explained that Penn
Police officers regularly receive
emergency-response training and
completed an exercise last month
that simulated the type of attack
seen at Virginia Tech on Apr. 16.
Still, the University is constantly working on ways to help guarantee that such a response would be
as effective as possible.
For example, there is currently
no way to alert the entire University of an emergency through a
campuswide e-mail, so DPS relies
on various listservs and Web sites
to provide such notification.
But Rush said DPS is looking
into new technologies, like cellphone alerts, and is working with
Information Systems and Computing to develop more effective
means of relaying information.
“My biggest concern everyday
RACIAL PROFILING
Report says Penn security officials acted appropriately
is communication,” she said. “It
is just so hard in a large campus
setting to communicate.”
Still, in the event that this type
of episode — officially termed an
“active-shooter incident” — were
to occur, police would flood the
area with officers to “eliminate
the possibility of people walking
the streets.”

New UN position spurs literacy
The group, led by professor Daniel Wagner,
aims to create ‘inter-university cooperation’
BY KAREN AQUINO
Staff Writer
Out of the world’s total population, which is close to 6.7 billion people, an estimated one
billion are either illiterate or
low-literate, Graduate School
of Education professor Daniel
Wagner said.
In an effort to lower this figure, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization has established
a UNESCO Chair on Learning
and Literacy at GSE. Wagner
has been named as the chairman.
UNESCO’s chair program
aims to further research and
development in “all of UNESCO’s fields of competence by
building university networks
and encouraging inter-university cooperation,” according
to UNESCO’s website. There
are 695 UNESCO chairs in uni-
versities all over the world, but
Penn’s is only the 18th in the
United States and the first at a
graduate school of education.
The establishment of the
chair position at Penn creates vast opportunities for a
strengthened partnership between the school and UNESCO — certain official functions
that UNESCO has with the
United States will automatically include Penn from now
on, Wagner said.
It gives the school “a special
responsibility and opportunity
to be more involved with the
United Nations … and to shape
the policy discussion around
what it’s important to be doing
in the world of literacy,” Wagner continued.
The relationship between
U NESCO and Penn dates
back to 1994, when they coestablished Penn’s International Literacy Institute, now
directed by Wagner.
The ILI focuses on literacy
issues for children and adults,
with a focus on developing
countries.
Literacy is such a poignant
issue for the United Nations
because “all the data we have
shows that literacy is indicative of social and economic advancement,” Wagner said.
“While literacy is a complex
issue … it seems that it is commonly understood as a dividing
force, serving to further marginalize those who are continually excluded from economic
and social mobility,” GSE doctoral student Katie Murphy
explained.
Murphy, a student of Wagner’s, thinks that his “focus
on literacy is grounded in a
desire to promote equity and
inclusion, and he has taken a
practical approach to working
with marginalized populations

around the world to create innovative ways to promote basic
literacy.”
Ultimately, the impact of the
chair’s establishment will be
beneficial for both UNESCO
and Penn.
GSE masters student Alex
Pak, who is currently one of
Wagner’s students, wrote in an
email that Wagner is “extremely committed to his students,
passionate and exceptionally
inspiring.”
He “engages his students to
think critically, asking insightful questions and guiding his
students to present evidencebased arguments,” Pak added.
“It’s one thing to say, ‘I want
to change the world, I want to
do good,’” Wagner said. “It’s a
lot harder to do it, and efforts
like the UNESCO chair will not
shake the world … nonetheless, there are opportunities

role in my decision,” he said. “I
always told myself if I was going
to play, I wanted to be able to
play in the right situation.
“I felt at that time, we
weren’t in the right situation
to make strides toward a major goal.”
Even with the overhaul of
the Penn program in 2010 when
Jerome Allen took over for the
fired Glen Miller, Cofield says
that he had shifted gears and
was not looking to come back
— neither he nor the coaching
staff ever approached one another about the possibility.
Plus, he admits it would
take a lot of work in the gym to
get back into playing form.
However, that’s not to say
Cofield hasn’t filled the hoops
void in some ways.
He still plays pickup games
at Pottruck Fitness Center —
he’s the 6-foot-4, 205-pound
guy with Division-I hops —
and just two weeks ago, he
participated in Penn Recreation’s dunk contest at the
Palestra.
Donning a fitted, backwards
cap, Cofield stole the show
with a dunk up and over two
of his friends.
Speaking of friends, Cofield
remains close with senior
guard Darren Smith — whom
Cofield called a “big brother”
figure.
Smith said he was “pretty
shocked” when Cofield left
the team but was relieved
Get

when he found out Cofield
would be staying at Penn. Today, the two still hang out and
talk regularly.
In fact, right after the season ended in early March,
Cofield was able to get Smith
and a few other Penn hoopsters to play basketball at
Pottruck. The varsity players
got in more than a few games,
given the “win and stay on
rules” in pickup.
“I’m sure people got mad,”
Smith said with a laugh. “But
hey, it was all fun.”
Fun — that’s what Cofield
hoped to have when he first
came to play for Penn. And
while his years here may not
have gone as expected, he still
had his share.

M. TENNIS from page 16
closed out their match with a
9-7 finish.
Top singles player Hicham
Laalej got the Quakers off to a
quick start with a straight-set
victory over his opponent.
Junior Jason Lin and freshman Zach Katz both posted
victories at number four and
f ive singles, respectively,
which gave the Quakers a 4-1
lead and clinched the win.
Laalej noted that the Quakers were lucky to have a nonconference match rescheduled
mid-season to give them an
opportunity to work out some
kinks.
“Playing matches before
any big match is always good
practice and preparation,” he
explained.
That big match for Laalej and
Penn is this Saturday when the
Quakers face Harvard in their
Ivy home opener.
As the Red and Blue sit in
sixth place in the Ivy standings with a record of 1-2, they
will continue to take each
match one game at a time.
“Our guys have to realize
that there is more parity in the
league than ever before,” DeVore said. “It shows how close
each team really is. I keep
telling our guys to keep their
heads up and that it’s still not
over yet.”
Laalej seems to be taking
the message to heart.
“We ignore the rankings —
they don’t matter to us. All it
comes down to is being confident and playing one match at
a time,” Laalej said.
Teammates

TRACK from page 16
“Anytime you run an overdistance you are going to improve on the lower distance
because you get stronger and
you have a little more energy,”
Harris said.
“We thought she would be a
great 800-meter runner, and
it’s paying off.”
For Strickland’s teammate,
the adjustment has been less
than obvious.
An intermediate hurdler who
aspires to hit the 56-second
mark by the end of the year,
Madison has incorporated the
800 race solely for training purposes.
According to Madison, running longer distances has
helped her maintain a constant
rhythm of 17 steps in between
each hurdle, especially after
the sixth hurdle when fatigue
sets in.
“The 800 really helps you
when you get to that point
[where your steps break down]
and gives you the training you
need to get through that wall,”
she said.
Mad ison, who w ill continue to focus extensively on
shorter distances and hurdle
races, has translated the mental preparation of the 800 into
team success.
Both Madison and Strickland are key components on
a team that Harris believes
could “win the 4x400” at the
Heptagonal Championships
next month.
It may be hard, but with their
newfound training, it’s definitely possible.

On paper, it would appear
that Penn’s improvement in
doubles matches is singlehanded.
“Connie,” said captain Alexa Ely, is the reason why
she and freshman Connie
Hsu have nearly matched
the team’s total amount of
doubles victories last season.
Ely was just 2-17 in doubles
play last season — with Hsu
as her partner, the two have
gone 11-1.
But Hsu attributes her success on the doubles court to
Ely in turn.

“I never really played doubles.
I guess Alexa taught me how

that really helps.”
Hsu and Ely are both quick
to insist that they depend on
each other just as much as the
team depends on them.
The senior team captain
and freshman phenom have
been a catalyst all season for
the team’s more competitive
results.

a very friendly personality,
where her teammates are
comfortable talking to her,”
she said. “She’s a very good
ambassador between the
coaches and the players.”
In fact, Hsu and Ely share
great chemistry and open communication. Ely said she feels
much more relaxed playing
doubles with Hsu than others.
That relaxation has translated into a similar sigh of
relief for the Red and Blue,
earning more wins toward the
all-important doubles point.
This year the team is starting four freshmen in the six
singles spots.
But the spark behind turning a corner for the Quakers
relies not just on the talented
freshman, but also the seasoned veteran.

wins this season, 15 of which
came in the spring.
“She brings the culture of
winning, which is hard to establish,” coach Sanela Kunovac said. “That carries a lot of
weight. You don’t need to talk
about it, but the players feel it,
they have it.”
However, Hsu said, Ely has
held up her end of the partnership by reaching out to the
rookie off the court.
“At first, I thought it was
awk wa rd to be w ith the
team,” Hsu said. “I think Alexa helped a lot. I mean, I’m
more of a shy person, so she’d
always ask me, ‘How are you
doing?’ and ‘What are you doing?’ So that really helps.”
Kunovac agreed.

definitely pulling its weight.
The duos near perfect record is the main reason why
the Quakers have earned the
doubles point in nine of 17
games this season after gaining the point in just a quarter
of last year’s matches.
“Connie is exceptionally solid,” Ely said. “She hits all over
the court, her serves set me
up. I’m never nervous when
she’s on the baseline if I’m hitting cross-court. I know I can
take my sweet time because
she won’t miss. She won’t give
them anything.”
Hsu’s impact on the Quakers’ women’s tennis program
has been immediate. Touted
as a top prospect going into
her freshman season, Hsu

Bassett adds ‘worldly experience’ to crew
W. ROWING | Freshman Corey Bassett’s
path to Penn took her across three continents
BY anna strong
Assistant Copy Editor
Most students at Penn have
a pretty clear idea of where
they’re from. Most could tell
you where they grew up, and
most could name a city or
a town they go home to for
breaks.
But for freshman varsity
rower Corey Bassett, the
word “home” is a little less
concrete, but no less meaningful.
Since she was born, Bassett
has lived on three continents,
in five different countries and
six different cities. Because of
her mother’s job at the American Embassy, she has moved
ever y two to three years
— from Washington, D.C.,
to Japan, to New York City
to Canada, to Uganda back
to Washington, and then to
Ethiopia, where her parents
currently live.
Bassett caught a break
from the constant flux when
she started boarding school
at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire in
her sophomore year of high
school.
It was there that she first
discovered crew.
After being cut from the
junior varisity soccer team
her first year at Exeter, she
thought her formal athletic
Open 7 days a week
career was over.
“Then someone came up
to me and was like, ‘hey,
you’re tall and athletic, you
should try crew.’” Bassett
said.
Whoever made that observation was spot-on: Bassett’s
lean, athletic build makes her
ideal for a sport that necessitates maximum strength with
minimum weight. Furthermore, she exudes an easygoing attitude that translates
well to the demanding life of
a rower.
From the first time she
went out on the water, Bassett was hooked.
“The first thing I really
loved about it was that it was
an escape, every afternoon
just being able to get out in
a boat and get on the river.
You get to focus on just one
thing and be outside,” she
said.
The second quality that
makes Bassett a successful
rower is her work ethic, a
quality that is critical to any
crew team. The driving desire
to win — and to work hard for
those wins — is something
that pulled Bassett even clos-
er to her high-school team.
“The fact that everyone
wanted to win so much,” she
said, “is what made us work
so hard. And we did win a lot,
so it was great to see the results from all our hard work
so quickly.”
That work ethic has translated well to a collegiate rowing program. Every morning,
Bassett wakes up at 5:26 am
to be on the bus to the river
by 6:00 am. They practice for
two and a half hours and on
certain days, they lift for an
hour afterward. Then she
goes to class, “usually with
ice packs somewhere on
[her] body,” and makes sure
she’s in bed by 10:30 p.m. every night. Saturdays are race
days, then everything starts
over again.
“My schedule comes from
crew,” she said, “which I actually really like. Being on the
team keeps me really healthy
and forces me to take care
of my grades and my body. It
forces you to be accountable
to not just yourself, but to everyone.”
Her dedication to her sport
and her team has greatly
contributed to her success
so far this season. Bassett
said she feels the same drive
and desire to win on the
Penn team as she did on her
high-school team, and she
SPRINGFIELD Beer

Hummus, Kibbeh,
Kabob, Grape Leaves
and Seafood specialty
loves feeling that familiar
drive to win.
“Ever yone on the team
has the same goals,” she
said, “We all want to win
NCAAs this year. It’s great
to be a part of a team that is
so driven and has so much
success.”
She currently rows in the
second Varsity Eight, a boat
that helped the Quakers
achieve this week’s No. 17
ranking, the highest so far in
head coach Mike Lane’s tenure at Penn.
“I think her background,
her worldly experience growing up has really led to her
accomplishments on the water for us,” Lane said. “We
expect big things out of her
in the future and we’re really excited to have her on
the team.”
Basset is similarly committed to the program.
“I never envisioned myself
rowing before I started. But
now I really can’t imagine my
life without it.”

Nightcap called
at 2-2 tie
Quakers down
Keystone
Looking to avenge a 7-5 loss to
Villanova (13-18-1) Wednesday
afternoon, Penn took the Wildcats eight innings to a 2-2 tie in
the back-end of a double header
before the umpires called off the
remainder of the late game.
Despite giving up 11 hits, pitcher Cailyn Hennessy allowed just
two earned runs in game two,
striking out three. Third baseman Kayla Dahlerbruch scored
one run on a Justine Payne
double and plated another with
a two-bagger of her own.
In game one, the Quakers
(10-12-1) squandered a 5-0 fifthinning lead as reliever Lindsay
Mann was charged with the
loss, as the tying and winning
runs scored on a wild pitch and
error by the pitcher.

Brown in New England this

— Calder Silcox
In a hastily arranged matchup between the streaking Penn
baseball team and Keystone, the
Quakers emerged with an 8-7
victory Wednesday afternoon at
Meiklejohn Stadium.
As is typical in a non-Ivy midweek matchup, coach John Cole
elected to pitch by committee,
with six Quakers seeing time
on the mound. Freshman Cody
Thomson picked up his fourth
win of the season, pitching the
final two shutout innings, striking out two.
After allowing the Giants
(11-8) back into the game with
a five-run fifth inning, Penn
(13-10) took the lead in the bottom of the eighth as shortstop
Derek Vigoa beat out an infield
single, advanced on a wild
pitch and scored on a single
from freshman second baseman Brandon Engelhardt.

Finding their
inner 800 stride
TRACK & Field
Strickland and
Madison use race to
improve shorter events
BY SUSHAAN MODI
Assistant Sports Editor
When Penn women’s track
and field coach Gwen Harris
approached Paige Madison this
winter to run the 800, the junior
hurdler had her doubts.
One lap was hard, but two
seemed impossible.
“At first I was really nervous
actually,” the Ann Arbor native
said. “I was like, ‘No, coach I don’t
want to do the 800.’ But I knew
that I had to do it and needed to.”
For Madison and her junior
teammate Victoria Strickland,
running the 800-meter dash is
paying dividends, no matter
how painful it may be.
“Going into the 800 has
helped me significantly in the
400,” Strickland said.
Last season, Strickland focused
exclusively on the 400 and 4x400meter relay, but after increasing
her mileage over the summer, she
Some saw it as a break from Ivy play,
others as a tune-up opportunity, but
whatever it was, the Penn men’s tennis
team just wanted to win it.
The Quakers walked away victorious
on Wednesday night with a valiant 5-2
win over Delaware. The Red and Blue
notched four singles victories and two
doubles victories.
The match was originally scheduled
for Feb. 26, but it was postponed due to
poor weather conditions.
After starting the season on a tear,
Penn (12-3, 1-2 Ivy) stepped back a little, dropping its first two Ivy matches
of the season. The Quakers now sit in
sixth place in the Ivies, looking for that
fire to return.
“I think it was a great performance
by our guys tonight,” senior Hicham
Laalej said. “Delaware always gives us
a challenge, so a win like this should really be a confidence booster for all.”
Coach Nik DeVore said he was expecting a good match out of his players.
The Ivy
Saturday,

was ready to make the jump.
After struggling with the
increased distance in her first
outdoor 800, though, she talked
to Madison about conserving
her energy for the final kick.
“It takes a lot of discipline
to stay back and stay relaxed,”
Strickland said. “After speaking to [Madison], she said going
into it I needed to know that last
200 [meters] is going to be hardest part of my race.”
Madison was quick to give
her advice.
“If you imagine that it hurts
there, and you tell yourself
you’re gonna push through it,
it’s all mental,” she said.
Strickland has embraced her
new role as 400 and 800 runner.
She even set a team-leading
time and personal best of 2:12.85
in her last outdoor 800.

M. HOOPS | Former guard planned to transfer but
stayed at Penn, hopes to attend law school in 2012
BY KEVIN ESTEVES
Sports Editor
Back in January of 2009, Penn basketball player Remy Cofield wasn’t having
as much fun as he imagined he would
while playing for the Red and Blue in
the Cathedral of College Basketball.
The then-sophomore guard had been
averaging 2.8 points in just 10.6 minutes
per game that season and was unhappy
with both his role on the team as well
as the squad’s outlook, given Penn’s
rocky 3-8 start.
So, after a team film session, Cofield
told then-coach Glen Miller of his intentions to leave the team, effective
immediately.
His plan?
To transfer to a school closer to his
family in Massachusetts, sit out the
next year as per NCAA regulations,
fine-tune his game and return to the

hardwood with a fresh start.
However, a look around classrooms
— and gyms — on campus shows
that Cofield still is very much here at
Penn.
Now a senior sociology major, Cofield ultimately decided not to transfer,
opting instead to forego basketball for
the immediate future and focus on his
studies. He has aspirations to attend
law school as early as 2012 and become
a sports agent.
“I just really wanted to stay at an
Ivy League school,” he said. “I’m not
going to go transfer to a school that’s
academically not where Penn is.”
Looking back, Cofield says he’s “actually kind of happy” he did stay, citing
his involvement with the Omega Psi Phi
fraternity as a major factor.
But even with Cofield’s academic
and social life falling into place, the
2007 runner-up for the Massachusetts
Gatorade Player of the Year couldn’t
completely fill the basketball void —
the void of countless sprints and the
sport to which he dedicated so much
of his life.
He must have had the itch to come
back to the team, right?
Surprisingly, no. And he had his reasons.
In 2008-09, Penn basketball was in
the midst of one of its lowest periods —
the Quakers would go on to win just 10
games, their lowest season total since
1990-91, and just six games the following year, the lowest since 1940-41.
Though Cofield could not have foreseen exactly how those two seasons
would play out, the prospect of losing
weighed on him.
“I really, really want to win in every situation that I’m in, so [losing] played a major
