Penn, Temple students challenge the
bank’s ties to mountaintop removal
BY SARAH SMITH
Staff Writer
The ongoing movement against mountaintop
removal took a big leap yesterday by securing a
private meeting with top PNC Bank executives.
Penn and Temple University are among 37
schools that partner with the Pennsylvania-based
bank. Penn has had a long-standing relationship
with PNC, which offers many resources for student
banking.
On Monday, the Penn Community Against Mountaintop Removal and its Temple counterpart met
with bank executives privately and conducted a
press conference afterwards.
They have campaigned against PNC since early
September for its investment in a company involved with mountaintop removal — a method of
coal mining that the groups say is both cheap and
damaging to the environment.
The Penn and Temple branches of the movement
plan to pressure students, universities and PNC
itself to enact change, said Russell Trimmer, Penn
Community Against MTR member and Wharton
senior. They are formulating a plan to have students
remove their money from PNC. While this plan is
still developing, they suggest transferring funds
to the Student Federal Credit Union — the other
financial institution that partners with Penn.
“It’s clear PNC won’t make changes to their
portfolio without outside pressure,” Danny Teich,
Temple Community Against MTR member and
Temple senior, said in a press conference. The

Students who were offered bids to fraternities filled the Palestra on Monday night. This rush season saw a major increase in the number of overall rushes,
as well as an increase in the total number of bids offered, according to College junior and incoming Interfraternity Council President David Shapiro.
575 bids were issued this year, which is about a
7-percent increase from last year’s total

Less drinking and more academics was the message of last
night’s fraternity bid night for
incoming Greeks.
More than 500 students filled
the Palestra Monday night to
receive bids from fraternities.
The students — who were all
informed before arriving at the
Palestra that they had received
bids — were handed blue slips
on which they indicated whether they would accept or decline
their bid offer.
This season’s rush cycle saw
762 registered rushes — which,
according to College junior and
incoming Interfraternity Coun-
cil President David Shapiro, is
“roughly about 200 more than
normal.”
“We usually see these numbers remaining the same or increasing by a percentage point
or two,” said Scott Reikofski,
director of the Office of Student
Affairs/Fraternity Sorority Life,
who was “very pleased” with the
increase this year.
Shapiro added that 575 bids
were issued this year — about
a 7-percent increase from last
year’s total, he said.
In a speech, Wharton senior
and outgoing IFC President
Harr y Heyer congratulated
the students on receiving bids
and thanked the outgoing IFC
board, which he said was “absolutely fantastic.”
Heyer reminded the bids that
one of the things on which they
should focus is maintaining a
strong academic standing.
“Take your studies seriously,”
Heyer told those in attendance.

The department’s interim
chair will soon be leaving

File-hosting site Megaupload, which runs the video-hosting service Megavideo, was shut down on Thursday by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The site hosted a variety of illegal copyrighted content, according to the U.S. government.
One of Penn’s oldest departments is
bringing its younger members to the forefront.
The Philosophy Department, which was
founded in 1755, is undergoing a “generational change,” according to department
Chair Susan Meyer.
Many of the senior faculty members
have recently left or will soon be leaving
the department, due primarily to either
relocation or retirement.
As a result, the department is in the process of making three to four new faculty
appointments for the upcoming academic
year.
In evaluating its candidates, the department is looking to “renew the ranks by
hiring younger people,” said Meyer, who
is currently on sabbatical and will return
for the fall semester. “It’s a changing of
the guard.”
Paul Guyer, a philosophy professor who
has served as interim chair of the department while Meyer has been away, will
assume a new faculty position at Brown
University after spending 30 years at
Penn.
Guyer said he is leaving the University
for “professional and personal reasons.”
While Meyer acknowledged that the loss
of Guyer will be “significant,” she said

Last Thursday tallied both

internet users in the ongoing
battle of internet copyright laws

Both Stop Online Piracy

“Eternal vigilance is the price

Last Wednesday, Wikipedia,
Reddit and Wordpress shut

noticeable changes to their website design to raise awareness

The coordinated internet

31 to 122.

there is still another bill with

Middle-class families may
get ‘left out’ of economic
diversity discussion at Penn
BY SHELLI GIMELSTEIN
Staff Writer
With increased calls to examine the
level of economic diversity on campus,
Penn’s efforts to recruit students from
across the income spectrum have been
brought into question.
Last semester, an opinion column published in the Penn Almanac by English
professor Peter Conn criticized the Uni-
versity for the job it has done in bringing
low-income students to campus. Conn’s
letter prompted a University-wide panel
in November that focused on the role economic diversity plays at Penn.
While Penn President Amy Gutmann
acknowledged that low-income representation is important at Penn, she feels that
“the middle class often gets left out the
discussion” about economic diversity.
“When financial aid began, there was
this huge focus on low-income students
… but there’s no reason to put an artificial
line in the sand between low- and middleSEE MIDDLE INCOME PAGE 6

CHOP denies transplant, raises ethical questions
Hospital clarifies medical discrimination
policies after refusing organ transplant
In a recent debate that has
shaken up both the media and
the medical world, a question
arises: who has the right to
choose who lives and dies?
Last week, the Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia denied
three-year-old Amelia Rivera
a kidney transplant. Without a
transplant or a suitable substitute — such as dialysis — her
life could be in jeopardy.
Amelia’s mother Chrissy
Rivera told the media her
daughter was denied the organ because she is “mentally
retarded.”
“The Children’s Hospital
of Philadelphia does not disqualify potential transplant
candidates on the basis of
intellectual abilities,” CHOP
wrote in a press release. “We
have transplanted many children with a wide range of disabilities, including physical
and intellectual disabilities.”
But Penn Medicine’s Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist who
is not allowed to comment on
the specific case, explained
that physicians can refuse to
refer patients to transplant
centers to be put on the wait
list on the grounds of mental
impairment and the ability to
care for their organs. He noted
that while the Americans with
Disabilities Act is supposed
to safeguard patients against
medical discrimination, it still
happens.
“I’ve certainly encountered
it,” he said.
Amelia has Wolf-Hirschhorn
Syndrome, characterized by
an altered facial appearance,
delayed growth and development, intellectual disability
and seizures. It affects one in
50,000 children. The mental
retardation can be anywhere
from mild to severe, and the
seizures are sometimes resistant to treatment.
Caplan also said because
organs are so limited — especially for children ­— giving a
disabled patient a transplant
can be controversial.
“Why not give someone else
a chance at life?” he said, illustrating an ethical question
that is often raised. Many doctors take quality of life into account when referring patients
Some
dropped out
during rush
to be mindful of their drinking habits, as well as those of
their fellow fraternity brothers.
“We have the ability to affect our brothers’ decisions,”
he said. “When you join a fraternity, you are joining that
fraternity for life.”
College freshman Teja Alapati, who received a bid from
Alpha Chi Rho, his top choice,
appreciated Sullivan’s message.
“I think Penn fraternities
are generally in control, but
advice is always useful, especially for me since this is my
first experience with Greek
life,” he said.
Heyer agreed that the key-
note speech was effective,
adding that Sullivan “hit some
strong notes” with respect to
values like brotherhood.
For Wharton freshman
Alexander de Rafols, who
received a bid from his top
choice, Kappa Sigma, Monday night marked the end of
a tiring — yet rewarding —
process.
“It was really exciting going through the rush process,
and I had a great time,” he
said.
However, the increased total of registered rushes this
year meant that some were
disappointed when it came
time to offer bids.

to transplant centers to be put
on the wait list. Additionally,
since Amelia is only a child,
she will need multiple transplants throughout her life, he
added.
The transplant itself could
put a patient at risk since it
would require him to take
immunosuppresants for the
rest of his life, increasing the
chance of contracting a deadly
virus or developing cancer, according to Caplan. However,
Caplan mentioned that larger
transplant centers will accept
riskier candidates than smaller centers will.
Another option for Amelia
would be dialysis.
“If you have a child who’s
cognitively impaired, dialysis
is tough to go through,” Caplan said. He explained that
such treatment would require
the regular use of needles and
that Amelia would need to be
hooked up to a machine several hours a day for three days
a week.
There are also health concerns attached to this treatment. “Dialysis is not a perfect
mimic of a kidney,” he said,
adding that while it is a viable
option for some people, others
can become sick.
A third option would be for
an adult family member to donate to Amelia.
“You can put kidneys from
adults into small children,” Caplan said. But he added that
this is not feasible if a patient
is small or has abnormal body
development, or if none of the
family members are a match.
“We are also taking action to
review all existing policies to
make sure that they reflect the
core values we live by,” CHOP
wrote in their statement.
was not offered a bid to Kappa Sigma said he was “really
surprised” when he learned
of the news.
“Kappa Sigma was all or
nothing for me,” said the
freshman, who wished to remain anonymous because he
said he is still in discussions
with the fraternity. “Even if
the other fraternities had offered me bids, I wouldn’t have
accepted.”
Others, like Engineering
freshman Karan Sharma,
dropped out during the rush
process after realizing that
Greek life was “not for me.”
“It just doesn’t match with
my idea of fun,” he said.
“Also, being an international
student, I don’t think my parents are really into the whole
Greek life thing.”
The approximate 200-student gap between the number
of students registered and the
number of bids offered during
fraternity rush mirrored the
approximate 175-student gap
in sorority recruitment.
The night was a happy one
for the students who did receive bids, however.
Wharton freshman Spencer Kulcsar, who received a
bid from Phi Delta Theta, his
top choice, said he is looking
forward to joining his new
fraternity.
“Overall, it’s just a great
feeling,” he said.

Parents stay in line overnight for Penn Alexander
Limited spots lead
local parents to wait
in long lines to enroll
their children
BY DEANNA KERLEY
Associate News Editor
While most Philadelphians
were curled up in a warm bed
Sunday night, around 80 parents braved the cold to stand
in line for their children’s education.
Mond ay mor n i ng, Pen n
Alexander School opened its
doors at 9 a.m. to begin the
kindergarten registration process. The registration is based
on a first come, first served
basis.
In the past, the school allowed a l l st udent s l iv i ng
within its catchment zone to
enroll. This policy changed
in the spring of 2011 when the
school announced that it was
at maximum capacity, which
is approximately 815 students
f rom pre-school to eighth
grade. Instead of honoring
an automatic enrollment for
families within the catchment
zone, the school announced
that it would no longer be able
to take all prospective students.
Penn Alexander Principal
Sheila Sydnor declined to
comment.
Parents and community
members quickly protested
the new policy. Soon after the
policy change, a group of parents formed the Advocates for
Great Elementary Education
group. In October, the group
submitted a petition of 461 signatures to the Penn administration, who sponsors Penn
Alexander by giving the school
$1,300 per student.
Since the meeting between
AGREE and Penn in October,
Penn Alexander has yet to
change its policy of conditional
enrollment. Now, parents are
forced to wait in line outside
of the school, with some arriving a full 24 hours before
registration.
“We’re tr ying ver y hard
to find solutions,” Penn Vice
President of Government and
Community Affairs Jeffrey
Cooper said.

“There’s a huge push of people in the area for Penn to expand the program to another
school,” she said.
In January, President Amy
Gutmann said all registered
kindergarten students had
been admitted to Penn Alexander in the fall. However,
parents in the community
disagree.
Parent Richard Schnolis, a
1994 Engineering graduate,
said after speaking with parents that it was evident that
“there were definitely some
that did not get in.”
Schnolis and his w ife
camped out this past Sunday
night to register their children. They were numbers 49
and 50 in line.
The Schnolis’ were told that
numbers below 60 had higher
chances of admission. Though
they were below this number,
they still cannot be sure that
their children will receive a
spot.
Schnolis said some available spots are already taken
up by students in the Head
Start program, a center created for early childhood care
in Philadelphia.
“I feel like there was a promise made ... that [Penn] would
honor the catchment area. I
think they want to, but I don’t
think they’re ensuring the
necessary steps to meet that
need,” Schnolis said.
“Not knowing is extremely
frustrating,” he added.
Schnolis said there was a
study done by Penn in the past
that estimated how many parents would likely move into the
area and how many children
the school could accommodate. Overcrowding seemed
to be inevitable. After the report was released, Penn had
the opportunity to expand the
school but ultimately decided
against it.
“The problem is this was 15
years ago when they were in
the planning stages. It’s been
a long time,” he added.
As Schnolis waited outside
Penn Alexander, he witnessed
parents who were farther back
in line because they could not
take the day off from work and
arrive in the line earlier.
Sydnor said neither she nor
the school condoned the use of
the line, according to Schnolis.
However, at 9 a.m. on Monday,
the school registered the parents in the order that they had
arrived.
“If they’re not going to honor
the line, why honor the numbering scheme?” he said.
During the 24 hour wait,
parents experienced some
form of compassion from community members, who bought
pizza and doughnuts for those
waiting in line.
However, the hospitality did
not ease parents’ anxieties of
waiting in line.
“The whole thing was completely unnecessary,” Schnolis
said.

THINK TWICE | Why we should bring
grinding off the dance floor and onto the table
THE LOGICAL SKEPTIC | As college
students, we are more than what we’re told
“B
O
a b y
grind on
me / Relax your
m i n d
and take your time on me / Let
me get deeper shorty ride on
me / Now come and sex me till
your body gets weak with slow
grindin’.”
At the risk of appearing
old fashioned, Pretty Ricky’s
“Grind on Me” and its specified instructions concern us.
Deeply. Pun intended.
Grinding, as Urban Dictionary describes in its most modest definition, is “when a girl
is in front of a guy, and they’re
dancing; her butt to his crotch.
He places his hands over her
hipbones and pulls her closer.
The girl shakes her stuff and
the guy enjoys it.”
We did it at middle school
dances and Bar Mitzvahs behind the backs of our watchful
parents. Most of us got our grind
on before we had our first kiss,
exploring foreign, titillating
sensations without consciousness of anything seedier.
But now, ages away from
those years of innocence, in the
basements of fraternity houses
or at clubs in Center City, the
dance move of our generation
feels sleazy and self-aware in
its sexuality.
According to psychologist
Shelly Ronen in her article,
Grinding on the Dance Floor,
booty-shakin’ has overshadowed all other forms of dance
on college campuses.
We’re saturated by images in
popular culture, music videos
and advertising campaigns.
Grinding is so ingrained in
our culture that we don’t stop
to question it.
We arrive here as freshmen
willing to be just bodies pressed
up against other anonymous
bodies, moving in ways that
would make Gene Kelly cringe.
Do you really want to be some-
one’s “Miss New Booty?”
Since grinding has become
socially acceptable, we overlook the fact that it’s usually
non-consensual. Before chivalry died, men used to ask
women if they’d “care to dance”
— there would be an introduction, followed by an invitation
and a mutual understanding
that both parties were willing
partners.
With grinding, any body
standing on the dance floor is
fair game.
College sophomore Naomi
Shavin quipped, “I don’t think
that we should live in a society where somebody can rub
their boner on your tushy without asking your permission.”
Amen.
With every basement encounter, we fall further and
further from engaging each
other in a meaningful way.
More often than not, you don’t
even face your partner. Did
you manage to catch their last
name … let alone their first?
And though you might think
you look damn hot, trust us, you
look all kinds of stupid.
College sophomore Alex Kalyvas (alter ego DJ Sexybeats)
often plays observer to these
erotic moves when spinning at
frat parties.
“You don’t see anyone do
anything with their feet or do
anything more coordinated
than swinging back and forth,”
he said.
Shaking your moneymaker
in your target’s general pelvic area (to Money-Maker, of
course) can be thrilling, but
would you do it in more sterile
lighting in front of your grandma? No, you wouldn’t. Why has
doggy-style dancing become
so public, so ubiquitous and so
nonchalant?
With grinding, there’s a tacit
protocol riddled with primal
desire — what Ronen refers
to as “a public manifestation
R. RAYMOND LANG
New Orleans, La.
HAYLEY BROOKS & ALI KOKOT
of contemporary heterosexual
scripts.”
Basically, we all want to get
some and grinding is our gateway drug.
Sexybeats associates the rise
of bumpin’ and grindin’ on campuses with the parallel rise of
hip-hop, rap and now electronic
music. He explained that people
want their senses heightened, to
feel the music. And in the boozy
air, feeling the music becomes
feeling each others’ bodies becomes…well, you know.
On the other hand, some of
Penn’s most memorable evenings have featured live band
parties like the Saint Anthony
Hall’s 80s party, and even Class
Board opted for a Dave Matthews cover band at Skimmer in
lieu of the standard fare. We applaud those who put their libidos
aside to pioneer an alternative.
It’s not that grinding is wrong,
it just needs to be discussed. At
what point does it become time
to get a room?
We’re not prude, we’re just
asking for respect.
So the next time someone
approaches you from behind,
think: do I really want this person’s pelvis on my butt?
Remind yourself that it’s
okay to swat away an uninvited
advance and break it down on
your own terms.
Though winding and grinding may be the number one recreational dance on campus, we
should shake our groove thangs
the way we choose.

Twice appears every Tuesday.
n t he c a mpaig n trail,
R epubl ic a n
presidential
candidate
Rick Santorum has repeatedly described universities
as “indoctrination centers.”
He claims that they spread
socialism and secularism to
our nation’s youth.
As a college student apparently undergoing this
process of indoctrination,
I can’t help but feel overtly
patronized.
The way Santor um describes higher education,
you’d expect a university like
Penn to be a liberal haven,
but that is certainly not the
case.
One need look no further
than Career Services’ annual survey to see that of the
60 percent of students who
enter the workforce upon
graduation, over half join
the consulting or financial
industry.
While these fields are not
inherently conservative, or
for that matter political, they
serve as the lifeblood of our
capitalistic economy. Clearly,
the heart of capitalism beats
true at Penn.
Likewise, religious groups
have a strong and passionate following as evidenced
by Penn’s Hillel organization and the great variety
of Christian organizations.
While students may ultimately leave Penn less religious
than when they entered, as
Santorum claims, they have
many outlets to cultivate
their faith if they so choose.
Penn perfectly exemplifies
a university striving to balance diverse points of view.
In the past two years, we’ve
hosted two of the GOP’s major presidential candidates
(Jon Huntsman Jr. and Newt
Gingrich) and would have
hosted House majority leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) if his
talk had not coincided with
the Occupy Philadelphia protests.
While Penn surely doesn’t
perfectly represent all universities, wouldn’t its indoctrination agenda prevent
such conservatives from appearing on campus?
Certainly, there must be
some grain of truth to Santorum’s assertion that schools
like Penn shape their students. After all, much of our
education comes directly
f r om t he mout hs of Iv y
League professors known
for their “ivory tower” view
of the world.
Santorum is correct in
asserting that universities
change their students. I,
however, contend that this
process is both consensual
and beneficial for those involved.
Thus it seems that Sant or u m’s mo st a l a r m i ng
assumption in labeling universities “indoctrination centers” is not that professors
proselytize, but that college
students sponge up whatever they are told. While some
students may fall prey to this
exact type of influence, it is
ultimately the responsibility
of each and every student to
develop and defend his or her
own beliefs.
If one’s beliefs coming into
Penn are so easily replaced
by a few professors standing
behind a podium, it might be
that those beliefs were never
very strong to begin with.
Shouldn’t college be a place
to test students’ ideals, whatever they might be?
I had a similar experience
last year thanks to a professor I had in a healthcare
management course. While
this professor’s conservative
beliefs were certainly an ex-
KYLE HENSON
ception to those of most professors I have encountered,
he was not afraid to let us
know his opinion.
No topic can be taught in
an entirely objective manner, nor should it be. While
his beliefs often verged upon
the extreme, at no point did I
feel that he was intending to
indoctrinate the class.
Many of my classmates
and I appreciated his point of
view. We don’t spend $50,000
a year over four years just to
read textbooks and have our
beliefs reinforced. We want
to hear brilliant opinions and
arguments from our professors.
I feel confident that most
students are cognizant of
external biases that influence their beliefs but remain
adamant about their ideals.
Santorum’s comment should,
however, serve as a warning
to the dangers of accepting
everything that we’re told.
Santor um would agree
that we, as college students,
are here to think for ourselves and tell our professors when we think they’re
wrong. Even when we lack
the confidence, no one forces
us to agree with our professors’ beliefs.
So, regardless of our political affiliation or beliefs,
as we analyze debates and
choose our next president
this year, prove Santorum
wrong by acting as a critical
and free-thinking voter.

UA discusses revisions to shuttle service
They also considered the possilibity of a new
app to help students with off-campus housing
BY TIFFANY XU
Staff Writer
During its first general body
meeting of the spring semester,
the Undergraduate Assembly
discussed ways of improving its
winter airport shuttle service,
as well as the possible creation
of a new online service to help
students with the off-campus
housing search.
Among other concerns regarding the current shuttle
service, UA members debated
whether the program’s current
benefits outweigh its low profitability.
College senior and UA Speaker Cynthia Ip said that winter
shuttles have not been used to
their full capacity because students leave at different times
throughout finals week, making
it difficult for the UA to coordinate which days would best
accommodate students’ sched-
ules.
“It’s not a very profitable or
environmental service, to be
honest,” Ip said.
College freshman and UA
representative Gabe Delaney
suggested the adoption of Zimride, a ridesharing network that
is currently in use at Stanford
University.
Despite some opposition to
the shuttle service in general,
Engineering and Wharton senior and UA President Tyler
Ernst said he is opposed to
eliminating the program.
“The [program’s] purpose is
not to earn a profit but to pro-

Mountain
Day’ in Feb.
vide a service,” he said.
The UA also discussed the
possibility of creating a Housing
App through PennApps Labs to
aid Penn students in the search
for off-campus housing.
The idea — which is based on
Openhouse, a PennApp created
two years ago — is to create a
Penn Book Bazaar-like system
that will allow students to not
only rank landlords but also
find subletters.
“We hope to take informal
networks that exist at Penn
already and open them up so
that they can be used for their
fullest potential,” said College

PNC representatives emphasized the need for diversity of

backing MTR, Teich added.
They also want to reach out to
other universities that have contractual relationships with the

Penny Jennewein, a Penn Community Against MTR member.
“Soon there will be 35 other
schools standing with us,” Trimmer said.
“PNC is aware that being
green is marketable to our
generation, and they advertise themselves as such,” Pallavi Podapati, Penn Community
Against MTR member and College junior, said. “But for them
to finance a form of coal extraction that blows up mountains,
displaces communities and
poisons the environment is not
green.”
Three Temple students,
part of the Temple Community

last December while participating in a marching protest into

Wharton senior Russell Trimmer, a member of the Penn Community Against
Mountaintop Removal spoke at a press conference in Houston Hall on Monday.
Ethan Jury, a Temple senior,
participated in the protest that
demanded the Temple administrators meet with the group.
“Within the first five minutes,
the police tried to [kick] us out,”
Jury said. “We sat down, linked
arms and read our statement.”
After three warnings, Jury
and two others were arrested
and charged with criminal
conspiracy, failure to disperse
and defiant trespassing. They
remained in jail for 22 hours and
paid $200 in legal fees. Though
not officially affiliated, Occupy
Philadelphia paid bail for the
three students, according to
Jury.
Podapati explained that Philadelphia is directly connected
to MTR. Philadelphia gets its
coal energy from Kentucky, the
state with the highest amount

effect.
“To date, disturbingly little
information has been released
about the actual content of the
agreement,” according to the
Electronic Frontier Foundation’s website.
The European Union is currently in debate over it, as the
act currently fails to uphold the
Council of Europe’s standards
on the “protection and promotion of universality, integrity,
and openness of the e,” according to a document released by
the Council of Europe.
Last Thursday was an example of government crackdown
on file-sharing websites. Even
with the public support for promoting free file-sharing on the
internet, the government shut
down the popular file-sharing
website Megaupload and its affiliated video-streaming website
Megavideo.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice released
an official joint statement last
Thursday saying that “this action is among the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought
by the United States and directly
targets the misuse of a public
content storage and distribution
site to commit and facilitate intellectual property crime.”
Many people find the coincidental shutdown of Megaupload
right after the SOPA protest as
government retaliation.
In response, Anonymous
— an internet group that calls
themselves “a loose coalition of
internet denizens” — launched
denial-of-service attacks on the
websites of the U.S. Department
of Justice and the Recording Industry Association of America, a
few hours after Megaupload was
shut down. The attack brought
the two sites offline for the day.
Megaupload did host a variety
of illegal copyrighted content,
according to claims by the U.S.
Government.
College freshman Nikhil Menezes thinks that the action was
“at least partially justified, since
Megaupload had illegal content

The Undergraduate Assembly has been working with the
Penn Community Against MTR.
They offered to discuss a resolution on behalf of the group, according to Podapati.
While agreeing that the UA
had been helpful, Trimmer was
dissatisfied with the results.
“It’s not an effective way of
expressing student power,” he
said.
I Love Mountains Day — a
national movement sponsored
by residents of Kentucky for

With the new test, people

more than $2,000 in certain
kinds of assets and people
over 60 who own more than
$3,250 will no longer be eligible to receive food stamps.
The state plans to implement this test on May 1, according to a letter obtained
by The Philadelphia Inquirer from Pennsylvania’s Department of Public Welfare
to the United States Department of Agriculture.

many detractors, who claim
that such a test discourages
saving among low-income
families.
“The idea that you have
to be destitute to receive
benefits is ridiculous,” said
Carey Morgan, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against
Hunger. “It punishes people
for saving, which is opposite
of the idea the administration seems to be touting.”
Both sides of the debate
are using economic rationales to support their arguments.
T he st at e c l a i m s t h at
the asset test will weed out
abuse in the program by denying benefits to people who
don’t need them.
It wants to make sure that
“people with resources are
not taking advantage of the

spokesperson A n ne Ba le
told the Inquirer.
“The demand for nutrition

Tom Corbett w rote in his
proposed state budget in
March. “As with many other
areas of public assistance,
this level of dependence is
unsustainable over the long

But opponents say the test
will do more financial harm
than good.
Food stamps help to generate economic activity, said
Political Science lecturer
Mary Summers, whose research interests include the
politics of food.
“When you put that money
in the hands of low-income
people, they buy food,” she
said. The money “goes right
into the system.”
Some people are already
not receiving their benefits
on time, Morgan said. The
test will be an additional administrative measure that
would “create an even larger clog in the system.”
Engineering senior Justin Broglie — who took the
Greater Philadelphia Co alition’s Food Stamp Challenge in November, living
on $4 of food per day — said
the experience made him
“much more compassionate
for people who are on food
stamps.”
He said in lieu of debating
over an asset test, “the ultimate solution is ... trying to
implement more of a livingwage right for people.”
“I learned that it’s ver y
hard if you’re a low-income
person,” he added. The challenge “conjured up definite
feelings of fear: ‘A m I going to have enough food to
eat?’”
The food stamp pro gram, of f icially k now n as

with benefits distributed by
states themselves.

income families,” she said.
Director of Financial Aid
Bill Schilling said while Penn
has no official definition for
“middle income,” it can range
from lower-middle-class families that make $40,000 a year to
upper-middle-income families
that earn more than $200,000
a year.
According to Gutmann, factors like this year’s recordhigh number of applicants
from California, as well as the
total number of students who
applied for financial aid in the
early decision round, show
that Penn’s financial aid policies are not limited to lowerincome students.
“We made a big move in
going all-grant, no-loan and
being able to communicate
that to all families,” she said.
“We’re among a small number
of institutions who have done
that.”

she views the influx of newer,
younger faculty members as
an opportunity for positive
change.
Guyer added that most of the
department’s senior faculty
have worked at the University
“beyond normal expectancy,”
each having taught at Penn for
more than 30 or 40 years.
In addition to Guyer, the department will also be losing
philosophy professor Charles
Kahn — who has taught at
Penn for nearly 50 years — at
the end of the year.
According to Meyer, the
department is not looking to
replace professors like Guyer
“I think [financial aid at
Penn] compares very favorably with virtually all except
those colleges with extremely
large endowments,” Schilling added. “I would say that
we certainly are on par with
all but a handful of peer colleges.”
For College freshman Lizette Garcia, financial aid
proved to be the key factor in
her college decision.
Upon receiving a significantly better financial aid package
from Cornell University —
which expected her to contribute $13,000 a year, rather than
$58,000 at Penn — she asked
Student Financial Services to
review her situation.
When Garcia received an
improved package in which
she would only have to pay
$16,000, she chose Penn.
However, she added that she
“knows [that] a lot of people
probably have never heard of
bringing in [another school’s]
financial aid package and doing what I did.”
“I feel like the majority of
students here are either going
to have enough money to pay
the full tuition, or they have
such low income that Penn is
paying everything for them,”
and Kahn, but is rather looking to make several appointments in their specialities, as
well as other, newer areas of
philosophy.
For example, graduate student and teaching assistant
Reed Winegar — who has
worked closely with Guyer —
said the department has plans
to bring in a professor of epistemology, the philosophy of
knowledge and belief.
The department currently
does not have a specialist in
this field, Winegar said.
The introduction of new areas of study will also allow the
department’s younger faculty
to have a “stronger presence
in a department that was topheavy with people over 50,”
Meyer said.
“The normal course of affairs is that when very senior
people retire, usually they
are replaced by people early
in their careers so a cycle can

Finney and Perna’s
findings uncover
causes of failing
education policies
BY ALLISON BART
Staff Writer
Washington state is having
a serious crisis in higher education, according to two Penn
researchers.
Graduate School of Education professors Joni Finney
and Laura Perna — who have
been studying public higher
education in five states over
the past two years — found
in a report released earlier
this month that a lack of efficient leadership and policy
are causing prices to soar at
institutions throughout Washington.
The report is part of a larger
research project that is being
funded by the National Center
for Public Policy and Higher
Education.
In their recent findings,
Finney and Perna argued that
a lack of competent leadership
in Washington’s legislature
has enabled the state’s largest
research universities to hold
too much sway over education
policy.
“When you have that kind
of imbalance of power, winner takes all,” Finney said,
explaining that the power of
large research universities
can weaken state authority.
They believe that the state
needs to produce more bachelor’s degrees and make the
transition from community
colleges to four-year colleges
more accessible for students.
“From a student perspective, I think an issue would be
the affordability of college,”
Perna said.
The large control that in-
“strong and growing contingent of mid-level faculty” that
it hopes to supplement with a
“cadre of junior people.”
Graduate and undergraduate students have of fered
mixed reactions to the departmental shuffling that is
currently underway.
Col lege ju n ior a nd philosophy major Cris Willis is
pleased that the department
will be bringing in younger
faculty, since these instructors “have done graduate
work in more recently developed fields, like experimental
philosophy.”
How e v e r, ac c or d i ng t o
Winegar, the changes in the
department are mostly a function of what people specialize
in, as opposed to their age.
“I don’t think necessarily
younger people bring more energy,” Winegar said. “It’s specialty over age. That kind of
thing will make changes, not
just the ages of professors.”

stitutions have over tuition
and other costs is becoming
problematic for some public
university students in Washington.
“I personally think it’s really expensive and so do my
parents,” said Christine Yoo,
an out- of-state freshman
who attends the University
of Washington. “My brother
goes to a private school on
the East Coast and I’m in a
public school, but I’m paying
the same amount as him for
tuition.”
Perna and Finney are working not only to discover what is
causing the lack of bachelor’s
degrees in the state, but also
to suggest what can be done
to correct the situation in the
future.
The government “needs to
have a long-term plan that is
realistic,” Finney said.
Today’s economic and policy problems stem from poor
planning that took place in
the 1990s, Finney said, when
Washington’s government
opted for more state university branches in place of community colleges.
“If you only plan for good
times and your plan doesn’t
work when you hit fiscal difficulties, it’s really not a good
plan,” Finney said.
The researchers also found
that as long as the institutions
have the power, they will continue to serve their own interests, Perna said.
“I think the challenge for
the state will be to find some
entity that will help really pay
attention to the public agenda
and the public good aspects
of higher education,” Perna
added. “For Washington, the
issue has been to take these
many plans and really move
them toward their implementation.”

— who received his master’s
degree from the Graduate
School of Education in 1989 —
feels that there is “a lot more
work that needs to be done”
to reach out to middle-income
college applicants.
“It really comes down to the
use of resources in the admissions office,” he said, adding
that recruiters should be making more of an effort to target
high schools with prospective
students who are more likely
to be aid eligible.
Schilling acknowledged that
Penn’s recruitment process
focuses more on lower-income
students because they may be
first-generation college applicants who “don’t have as much
information and understanding of financial aid and how it
can reduce the sticker price.”
Meanwhile, students from
middle-income and uppermiddle-income families are
more likely to be in the applicant pool in the first place,
Schilling said.
Once applicants are admitted, however, SFS is committed to providing financial aid
across the income spectrum
in order to “put them in a position to accept their offer,” he
added.

yet, but the large margin of
defeat was demoralizing. As
a DP column on Jan. 13 read,
“this squad must prove that
its tough first-half schedule
was worthwhile,” and at the
time, I was skeptical.
Since the Blue Devil beatdown that opened 2012, however, the Quakers have shown
great improvement, going 4-1,
including a 2-0 Ivy road trip
and an 84-80 upset of St. Joe’s
Saturday to end their nonconference slate — an important
finish heading into the rest of
the Ivy season, coach Jerome
Allen said.
“It builds momentum, it
gives the guys a sense of
what to expect as far as what
it takes to win,” he said. “It’s
easier to teach when you win
than when you lose because
you’ve really got the guys’
attention to make them not
settle or be content.”
Though Penn finished 8-9
in nonconference play, each
loss — besides those against
Pitt and Duke, as well as an
11-point loss to La Salle —
was by single digits. Penn had
its chances to add to the ‘W’
column against strong opponents, coming painfully close
against Temple, UCLA and
Davidson.
The team was disappointed
with each loss, but it is clear
from their current threegame winning streak that the
players both learned from the
losses and increased their
competitive drive.
“We were in all those
games, so we can play with
anybody,” senior Tyler Bernardini said. “We can win every game that we play in.”
Sure, they’ve only played
two games of their 14-game
tournament, but it appears as
if the challenging nonconference schedule is paying off.
After so many tests early in
the season, the obstacle in

front of them — the incredible unpredictability of the Ivy
League — seems surmountable.
“We talk all the time about
how competitive the league
is,” Allen said. “On any given
night, anyone can be beat

FENCING from page 8
ary Dave Micahnik, under
whom he served two stints as
assistant coach — first from
1994-96 and then from 200506. Micahnik, who led the
men’s and women’s teams to
a combined 722-210 record
from 1973-2009, recalled from
his early years how his teams
would “steal a few first-round
matches” from simple things
like getting a good warmup.
Coaching was not Micahnik’s first introduction to
Penn’s fencing program, however. He fenced for the Quakers from 1955-59 and went on
to represent the United States
in epee at the Olympic Games
in 1960, 1964 and 1968. He won
the U.S. National Championship in 1960.
This type of individual success has been a hallmark
of Penn fencing. The men’s
program boasts 14 individual
NCAA champions, 113 NCAA
A ll-A mer icans, 130 f irstteam All-Ivy selections and
11 Olympians.
Add to that 16 Ivy League titles and three NCAA championships in 1953, 1969 and 1981,
and it’s easy to see why tradition is one of the program’s
greatest draws.
The 1953 title team was
helmed by the late “Maestro”
Lajos Csiszar. Considered Europe’s finest fencer when he
emigrated from Hungary in
1948, he led the program for
26 years until his retirement
in 1974.
Current junior sabre Evan
Prochniak recognizes the
part that history plays in the
minds of this year’s team.
“I think a lot of us feel just
lucky to be a part of the program,” he said. “It’s cool how
you can go downstairs and see
all the history.”
Ma echoed these sentiments and noted the benefits
the program gains from its
past success.
“Kids know the history,” he
said. “They feel honored to be
here.”
While the men’s success
dates back more than 100
years, the women’s is more
recent. Founded by Micahnik
as a “test sport” in 1973, the
team earned varsity status by
1976 and finished second at
nationals one year later.
Nine years after that, Penn
had arguably its most dominant team of all-time in either
gender, as the women claimed
the 1986 NCA A championship. Micahnik spoke of how
he would often tell the women
to “go fence and bring me the
score sheet when you’re done,
and go coach the men.
“It’s not that I didn’t care
about them,” he added. “I just
trusted them completely.”
While the women’s squad
has its own rich history — including one individual NCAA
cha mpion, 33 NCA A A llAmericans, 37 first-team AllIvy picks and 10 Ivy League
team titles — it can still look
to the men’s 100-plus years of
success to light its fire.
F reshman Sarah Paramacek, whose grandfather,
Robert Paramacek, was a
member of the 1953 championship team and won Penn’s
first individual NCAA title in
sabre the same year, said,
“We’re just as happy if the
guys win as [if] we do, but we
can use that to motivate ourselves and try to keep up with
them.”
In spite of the proud winning tradition, no members
of the current team are willing to rest on their laurels or
look ahead to the day when
they will be a part of the history.
“I feel like I need to win an
NCA A championship to be
down [on the wall],” Prochniak
said. “Those guys did so much
in their careers.
“I only hope I can do as
much as they did.”
See theDP.com/sports for more
we maintain focus for these
next five weeks or so, because
victory and defeat are so
fragile.”
But if the Quakers can play
consistently, they will have a
chance to run the table this
season. They have the talent
and determination to win any
game — even when I bring my
superstition to the crowd.

Fencing | Post-1924, only one sport has
provided Penn with a national championship
BY Mitchell Joseph
Staff Writer
The University of Pennsylvania is an institution steeped
in athletic tradition — from
the Palestra, which has hosted more college basketball
games than any other arena in
the country, to Franklin Field,
the former stomping ground
of football legends John Heisman and Chuck Bednarik.
But despite Penn’s long and
distinguished sports history,
few of its teams have claimed
an NCAA championship trophy of its own.
In fact , the men’s and
women’s fencing squads are
two of only three teams that
can point to a national title as
proof of their long-standing
excellence.
One reason for the teams’
historical success has been
coaching stability. Depending

Recognize a few of them?
Seven were first-round NBA
draft picks. Between the eight,
there are 21 NCAA tournament

This year’s class of candidates has no shortage of big

on whom you ask, there has
been a fencing team at Penn
for 112 years. In that span, the
program has had only four
head coaches.
Current head man Andy Ma,
who became the fourth coach
before the 2009-2010 season
and leads both the men’s and
women’s teams, recognizes
the tendency of long tenures
in the program.
“I’m honored to be here. I’m
the fourth coach ever and all
three [before me] served as
head coach for more than [25]

“I will try my best to carry

coach Jerome Allen said. “Obviously he does everything for us.
Even in his flaws, I still see the
beauty in his game because he’s

Rosen has never been one to
count his accolades — he won’t
read a word written about him.
But even he found himself looking over the list of fellow Cousy

Rob Belcore.
“It’s a really big honor,”
Rosen said. “It’s a pretty good

If you had to be stranded on an island
with a teammate or coach, who
would it be?
Coach Wise, and I’d also say Dau. He’d
probably have the most experience in
that type of situation.
I
’m a superstitious sports fan. If I’m standing when my team scores a touchdown, I
can’t sit down. If my team falters, I won’t
wear the same jersey the next game. And
if my team loses more than they win in my presence, I convince myself that I must be cursed.
So after witnessing Penn men’s basketball’s
two most lopsided losses of the season, I began to
worry that I might be bad luck. I sat in the stands
the Friday after Thanksgiving, among a strongly
pro-Pitt crowd, to see Penn suffer a 20-point
defeat to the then-No. 17 Panthers. And then on
New Year’s Day, I sat on press row in front of the
Cameron Crazies to watch a 30-point loss to thenNo. 5 Duke.
After falling to the Blue Devils, Penn was 6-8.
Sure, the Quakers hadn’t even faced an Ivy foe

it’d be fricking crazy. It would have
