Liquor police issue 35 citations over Fling

Dining and security staff recall your

Fling shenanigans

The Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement gave out a total of 35 citations to 24 people in and around Penn’s campus between Thursday and Saturday eve-ning, according to BLCE Ser-geant Dan Steele, commander of the Philadelphia District Of-fice.

The citations followed a re-quest by the Division of Public Safety for the presence of the BLCE around campus over the weekend. The collaboration be-tween DPS and the BLCE be-gan last year when DPS posed

a similar request, which also brought a large and undisclosed number of BLCE officers to campus.

The BLCE issued 20 citations on Thursday, 11 of which were given for underage possession or consumption of alcohol. Of the 11 people cited, six were also cited for possession of false identification cards. In addition, two adults were arrested for disorderly conduct. The major-ity of these offenses occurred between 40th and 42nd streets on Chestnut Street.

A 22-year-old Penn student was also arrested on Thursday for public drunkenness on the block of 3900 Spruce St. after he was observed nearly being struck by a car.

None of these citations were made in bars, and most “dealt with observations officers made on the street,” District Office Supervisor Michael Rutkowski said in an emailed statement.

On Friday, six minors were issued citations for underage drinking, five of whom were cited for possessing false identi-fication cards. One person who was at least 21 years old was cited for disorderly conduct. Most citations occurred around

Students aren’t the only ones who enjoy themselves during Spring Fling. Over the week-end, Penn’s security personnel encountered their fair share of entertaining moments.

One security officer stationed at the Lower Quad gate, who preferred to remain anony-mous, said two students passed out raff le tickets to “gullible freshmen” at the Upper Quad gate, claiming that they were raff ling of f a Corvette. The distributors said the Corvette would be parked on the Upper Quad lawn. “After all the chaos of Fling, that was pretty cool and chill,” he said.

Another security officer sta-tioned at the Upper Quad gate cited Mask and Wig’s annual

naked performance as his fa-vorite moment of Fling.

“They were literally stripping on the stage!” the officer said.

The officers also said that Fling was especially enjoyable when they approached their du-ties with humor.

The Upper Quad gate secu-rity guard, who used a mega-phone to control traffic at the crosswalk at 37th and Spruce streets said it was fun to inter-act with f linging students. “I was just messing with every-one,” he said.

Fling festivities weren’t re-stricted to the quad — 1920 Com-mons was bustling with students looking for sustenance this week-end. One Commons employee recalled that one student tried

Wharton senior lauded as ‘rising star’ in New York startup, tech scene

Wharton senior Stephanie Weiner was just named one of 22 rising ven-ture capitalists by Business Insider. She was the youngest and the only college student awarded the honor.

Weiner is a very active member in the Penn entrepreneurial community. In her sophomore year, she became a member of the Weiss Tech House, a student-run hub of technological in-novation at Penn. Later, she became a co-founder of PennLets, an online platform that helps students sublet apartments.

After studying abroad in Australia, she came back to campus and was selected as a partner of Dorm Room Fund, a venture capital firm run by students that invests in student-run companies.

“Dorm Room Fund has been the most enriching part of my college life,” Weiner said, noting that it gave her a start in investing. She worked with two Dorm Room Fund deals, and helped turn several ideas into

businesses.“We do most things partners nor-

Bagtas charged with additional burglaries

College freshman Anthony Bagtas, fac-ing charges for allegedly burglarizing the Quad on March 22, has been charged with another seven burglaries that same day and two burglaries earlier this school year — one in September and one in January. Bagtas was a member of the men’s bas-ketball team, but was released before his March 24 arrest, according to the Athletics Department.

In all of the alleged incidents, Bagtas — who goes by Tony — was charged with burglary of an overnight accommodation with a person present, trespassing, theft and receiving stolen property, according to court documents. He was initially charged

with one of the eight burglaries that took place in Quad rooms on March 22. After being released, he was re-arrested on April 10 for the additional crimes and charged the next day.

The Division of Public Safety could not be reached for comment via email Sunday night.

WORK HARD, FLING HARDSEE FLING PAGE 7

Jennifer Ruger, a profes-sor of medical ethics and health policy at the Perel-man School of Medicine, was elected a member on the Council on Foreign Rela-tions last month.

The Council on Foreign Relations, founded in 1921, is a n independent , non-partisan organization that provides a forum for those with different areas of ex-pertise to share information. “It serves three functions: It’s a membership organiza-tion, a think tank and a pub-lisher,” CFR Senior Fellow for Global Health Yanzhong Huang said.

Ruger focuses specifically on global health governance. She became interested in the subject while conducting research on global health policy.

“I’ve been doing theoreti-cal and empirical work in g lobal health pol icy and health equity,” she said. “We want to develop normative frameworks to guide global health policy such that it will be more equitable, fair and efficient.”

Ruger explained that the field of global health policy has changed over the few years. “What we’ve seen in global health governance is increasing fragmentation and pluralism ... [a] prolif-eration of actors and rapid increase in funding for glob-al health,” she said. “There have been a number of prob-lems that have emerged and are ripe for research as a

result of this changing land-scape.”

Ruger has been involved with the CFR since 2010, when she participated in a global health governance series. The CFR also orga-nizes a number of initiatives and events regarding inter-national affairs, like work-shops, panel discussions, symposia, roundtables and seminars. Events held by the CFR typically include formal presentations to dis-cuss particular issues as well as a question and an-swer period and discussion.

“The CFR brings people together and builds on the expertise around pressing problems in foreign policy and international affairs,” Ruger said. “I always learn an enormous amount when I attend myself because it’s very rich and informative.

“I’m delighted to see that the Council on Foreign Rela-tions has taken up such im-portant issues and provided a very effective forum,” she added.

The CFR includes people from all walks of life, includ-ing scholars, business ex-ecutives, lawyers, nonprofit professionals and govern-ment officials, according to Ruger. She also said that the CFR’s strength is having a “pull on key questions and issues — it brings together

people and evidence to ad-dress these problems.”

The organization, which has over 4,500 members and term members, has an ex-tensive application process. The organization solicits ap-plicants who must then get nominations and seconding letters from existing mem-bers of the CFR. Current members give input on ap-plicants as well.

“I feel very privileged ... it’s an enormous honor to be-come a member of the CFR because it has tremendous convening powers around major issues in international relations,” Ruger said.

Colleagues of Ruger ex-pressed their happiness at seeing her elected to the board.

“I’m thrilled for Jen. She’s a fairly recent addition to the department but is a fun and engaged col league,” said Jonathan Moreno, a mem-ber of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. “This appointment will be much valued in the department.”

C o l l e a g u e s a l s o n o t -e d R u g e r ’ s e x t e n s i v e qualifications.“She is a lead-ing scholar in global health and her research on health and social justice informs our debate. In the past, they have invited her to speak three times at the council, and they find her articulate, smart and friendly,” Huang said. “I believe that she will be an excellent addition to the CFR membership pro-gram and certainly look for-ward to working with her in the future.”

Students are still unsatis-fied with the University’s re-sponse to a controversial pane of stained glass in the ARCH building.

During an initial meeting between students and admin-istrators to discuss the stained glass, the two parties agreed on placing informative signs around the rising sun symbol to educate the public on its meaning.

However, students were frustrated with the Univer-sity’s recent proposal for the sign’s text, which generally describes all of the stained glass panes in the ARCH with-out any specific details on the rising sun.

The stained glass has an image on it that looks similar to the historical Japanese im-perial flag, a symbol at which members of the Penn com-munity — particularly those of East Asian descent — have taken offense to due to his-torical Japanese aggressions against East Asian countries, like Korea and China.

While many students still thought the symbol was offen-sive and should be permanent-ly removed, they understood it might be historically sig-nificant to Penn. University historians believe the stained glass panes were installed when the ARCH building was built in 1928.

College senior Hyun-Soo Lim, who has been involved since the start of the issue, attended the latest meeting and said the proposed text had none of the information she wanted — namely, there was not a single reference to Japanese imperialism or what historical context the image of the rising sun may be.

Lim would have liked to see more direct language in the text instead of just pointing out

that the meaning the symbols held in the 1920s may be differ-ent today.

“[You] need to lay out the historical facts,” Lim said. “I thought [the current text] was very insensitive and it didn’t mean anything.”

Lim and the other students at the meeting pointed out their objections to the draft of the text, but did not feel like the University was working with their concerns.

Specifically, they noted that the people with whom they met said they would bring the students’ concerns to other unspecified administrators before deciding the next steps to take. Lim was frustrated that the people she met would not give her the names of the administrators so that she could contact them directly to speed up the process.

Lim said the sentiment of the administrators at the meeting was “clearly ambiva-lent.”

Associate Vice Provost for Equity and Access William Gipson, who was also pres-ent at the meeting, said in an email that administrators are continuing their work in addressing the concerns the students brought up and “mov-ing things along as quickly as we can.”

“I think it’s important to

understand ... that compro-mise typically never satisfies anyone,” Gipson added. “We cannot assert that any resolu-tion will satisfy all concerned.”

Gipson added in a following email that the sign “[repre-senting] our best understand-ing of the purpose of all of the windows when they were in-stalled” would be placed by the ARCH window, on a date to be shortly decided.

The students involved with the issue created a group known as Students for Asian History Awareness to pro-mote awareness and discus-sion of the issue. Their most recent event, an information panel and discussion forum held on April 3, brought to-gether many diverse opinions on what to do with the stained glass window.

Some members of SAHA still advocate for complete re-moval of the offensive symbol in the stained glass, but Lim said she was willing to work with the University on the compromise consisting of edu-cational signs. However, Lim said students left the meeting clearly disappointed and as she put it, “a little betrayed.”

Lim says SAHA plans to reach out to other student or-ganizations on campus to get more students involved in the issue.

Penn’s first annual Multi-cultural Greek Council Sym-posium, held at the ARCH on Saturday, April 12, saw an attendance of 145.

Much of the symposium was about “explaining what it means to be Greek,” Whar-ton and College junior and MGC president Peixin Mo said . The day made people “feel a lot more empowered,” said Kenneth Jones, program coordinator for the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

The event was open to all MGC members and advisors, as well as anyone “interest-ed in learning more,” Jones said . Attendees included 25 students from local high schools and representatives from 17 multicultural greek organizations from across Philadelphia. “It was really funny hearing about their

stereotypes of Multicultural Greek organizations [from the high school attendees],” Mo said.

Workshops explored ideas such as the place of the MGC community in Philadelphia, the role of MGC advisors and how chapters with very small membership can organize large scale initiatives. It’s “easy [for MGC members] to kind of stay in their bubbles,” Jones said, explaining that the symposium worked to make members “more en-gaged and reinvigorated,” about ways to enhance MGC visibility.

Another key theme was “how to engage the univer-sity,” Jones added, outlining the importance of “helping [people] to understand the culture of our organization.”

The day also included a talk by keynote speaker Law-rence Ross , author of “The Divine Nine,” a book about

historically black fraternities and sororities.

The symposium finished with a showcase of MGC step-ping and strolling, a tradition of many MGC fraternities and sororities.

The security officers also noted that Fling seemed toned down this year, which they credited to the crack down on alcohol use and the presence of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforce-ment. One security guard described the weekend as “controlled.”

the Athletics Department was first informed about Bagtas’ alleged criminal activity. He would not give a specific rea-son for Bagtas’ release from

the team, citing confidentiality.Bagtas — who lived in Ri-

epe College House but was re-moved from the Quad after his initial arrest — did not respond to a request for comment.

Bagtas verbally committed to Penn basketball in October 2012. In an interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian in March 2013, the then-high school se-nior said that Penn’s coaches told him that he would “run the team next year.”

He played in 20 games for the

Quakers in the 2013-14 season, starting six games. His best performances came during his first two starts, notching nine assists against Villanova and eight versus Wagner. However, Bagtas played in just two of the team’s last seven games.

Bagtas’ next court appear-ance, a status hearing for the newest charges, is set for May 12. His preliminary hearing for the initial charges was re-scheduled from last week to May 29.

In this moment, the city of Philadelphia is home to 88,000 veter-ans. Philadelphia City Council enacted a res-

olution to declare 2014 as the “Year of the Veteran.” This declaration was proposed to underscore support for the veteran community, shed light on the adversities veter-ans face and understand the initiatives in place to address and support these needs.

Originally proposed by councilpersons David Oh, Mark Squil la and Jannie Blackwell, the unanimous support among all City Coun-cil members propelled the mission forward. The City of Brotherly Love becomes personif ied through this monumental moment for the veterans of Philadelphia, and presents a source of hope for the programs and policies of 2014. A unified response to this resolution paves the way for advocacy and understand-

ing of the emerging needs of veterans.

The Year of the Veteran provides the framework for highlighting the progression of veteran services and en-hancing societal awareness for the challenges they face. In my recent interview with Air Force veteran and Ex-ecutive Director of the Veter-ans Multi-Service Center in Philadelphia Tim Meserve, he expressed principal fac-tors to consider. “It is impor-tant for society to know when we send soldiers to war there are changes. We should not be afraid of these changes. Instead, we need to support them and provide vast re-sources,” he said. As our com-munity zooms in on veteran needs, it is crucial to consider how these needs are chang-ing as veterans from recent conflicts are returning home to their civilian soil. The re-cent veteran population is also an all-volunteer force. “If

all volunteers are fighting our wars, they need to know they will be supported when they return home,” Meserve said.

As a social work intern at the VMC, I have the honor of working with men and women in the veteran community in need of supportive services. While working in the housing assistance program, I en-gage with a primarily home-less veteran population, a community that often falls within the shadows of policy and practice. This commu-nity exemplifies the power of shared experience as an unspoken bond between vet-erans, creating a forum for mutual understanding and hope. Veterans of the VMC community are eager to be

heard by the ear of an indi-vidual with a genuine desire to support them. But there is more to be done.

The Year of the Veteran seeks to not only provide the language for underlining vet-eran accomplishments and obstacles, but to also unify the community through local events. The “One Book, One Philadelphia” program at the Philadelphia Free Library incorporated the Year of the Veteran into its mission to unite the community through literature. In 2014, the pro-gram highlights “The Yellow Birds” by Kevin Powers for Philadelphians to engage in a synchronized reading of a novel exploring the raw re-alities of war. On May 10 the

VMC will host the “Bridge to Opportunity” 5k Run/Walk across the Benjamin Frank-lin Bridge on behalf of the veteran community. Signifi-cantly, the 2014 National Vet-eran Wheelchair Games will also take place in the heart of Philadelphia, supporting the Year of the Veteran and honoring hundreds of mili-tary veterans with physical or neurological disabilities. This event is free of charge and open to the public to bring the community together in sup-port of our nation’s heroes.

The discourse has been established and City Coun-cil has embraced the resolu-tion. The question remains: Why should this matter to everyone and not simply to those in the military? The livelihood of this resolution is contingent upon the sup-port of the civilian commu-nity. This resolution cannot remain in an abstract place in our consciousness. Support must extend beyond those as-sociated with the military and penetrate the missions of ci-

vilian organizations and the mindset of the community at large.

Veterans are entrepre-neurs of their own stories with a rich history of experi-ence to share and be learned. These men and women are our fr iends, leaders, col-leagues, neighbors, fellow enthusiasts and also those in direct need of our support. As we embrace this resolution, we must consider how it ap-plies to our everyday lives. To give life to the words behind this proclamation, we must engage in the conversation about veteran needs and take part in the community mis-sion to support them. Make a proud moment of your 2014 be attending a veteran event. As Meserve significantly stated, “This proclamation is a tool for us to use. It is only a piece of paper until we apply it and make it special.”

Late last month, T h e D a i l y Pennsylvanian reported on the “ T FA T r u t h

Tour” — an event orga-nized in opposition to Teach for America. As a current Teach For America corps member and Penn alumna, I was concerned when I read the piece — both by the misinformation and di-visiveness the event aims to promote and by the extent to which my own experience as a teacher was left out of the “truth” the panelists put forth.

Like all teachers, corps members face a wide vari-ety of responses when we identify as educators. Some question why we would take our hard-earned college degrees and apply them to a field with so little oppor-tunity for f inancial gain. Others fixate on how lucky

we are to have summers off. Others still launch into their own personal views on how to fix the broken public school system in which they tell us we’re mired. (Many of my own relatives are hop-ing I end this “phase” soon and apply to medical school, for the record.)

In too many of these re-sponses and in the event that took place last month, a common problem emerges. So often, the conversation feels like it’s about adults more than kids. It’s about problems, not solutions. And it vastly underestimates the possibility and promise in schools like mine — where students prove every day what they’re capable of achieving.

The panelists were right about this: Teaching is hard. Over the last two years, I’ve experienced tough condi-tions and supported my

kids through tougher ones. I’ve switched schools. It was several weeks into the school year before I found my first teaching position. But what they leave out is the fact that even in the face of all the hard things about teaching, many of us love doing it.

As teachers, we get to watch our students grow intellectually and person-ally. We’re invited into their families. And because of it all, we rise early, stay late, coach, plan and get up the next morning and do

it again. To be clear, this does not solely describe a typical TFA corps member: This is what every passion-ate teacher who truly values his or her job does. We have this in common with gradu-ates of every teacher prep program under the sun and with the growing num-

ber of Teach for America alumni making long-term commitments to the class-room. Among TFA’s alumni, teaching is the most com-mon profession. They know what we do. Do what we get to do and it’s awfully easy to

fall in love.Every experience with

Teach for America is differ-ent — just as every gradu-ate of an education program will have a different path. This summer, I’ll transi-tion from corps member to alumna and continue teaching — setting aside the plans for med school I always thought I’d be pursu-ing. I’ve made this decision not because I feel guilty, not because I feel pressured and not even “because of the kids.” I have carefully made this decision because I feel passionate and invigo-rated by my work to change the status quo through my classroom practice. After these two years, I am grate-ful for the opportunity that TFA has provided by con-necting me to my current school.

The decision to keep teaching that so many corps

members make every year reflects another aspect of our work so deeply absent from the “truth” offered on the tour — the fantastic mentors who have made our work possible — at our schools, within our commu-nities and from TFA. Sec-ond only to our students, these people inspire us with a deep sense of possibility. We’re privileged to work side by side with them every day for the common future we seek.

Tomorrow, I’ll head to school and continue to do my part — however small it may be. And that’s the truth.

Joining the Philadelphian consciousness: the Year of the Veteran

‘‘Veterans are entrepreneurs of their own stories with a rich history of experi-

ence to share and be learned.”

looking into the community and trying to encourage peo-ple to start companies and ap-ply for funding,” Weiner said.

The Dorm Room Fund’s Phi ladelphia branch has considered investing in com-panies started at colleges across the East Coast. “Once [the companies] are in the portfolio we help them raise more funds, provide business development opportunities and match founders with mentors. It is a lot of fun,” Weiner said.

Weiner became interested in technology at a very young age. “My dad is an Apple nut, and I owned a computer since I was tiny. We have waited in line at five o’clock in the morning for the new iPhone. I was making websites in high school,” Weiner said. She

once felt pressure from other classmates who were pre-dominantly interested in the banking world, but she chose to continue with her passion in technology. “Technology is pushing forward every indus-try,” Weiner said, noting that its ubiquity is what inspires her to pursue it as a career.

Although tech — and the venture capital industry — are known for under-repre-sentation of women, Weiner has embraced them. “I like being the only girl at the ta-ble,” Weiner said confidently. She is very optimistic about the increasing participation of women in the industry. “The need for female found-ers and venture capitalists is real, but I am happy to be seeing more young women in the field.”

Although Weiner is already in her final semester at Penn, she is still actively connect-ing the Penn community. She co-founded The Bell Society, a technology and entrepreneur-ship-focused senior society that aims to connect like-minded people to create great things together in the future.

“One of the most valuable things at Penn is the people,” Weiner said, “At Penn we have brilliant makers, think-ers, hackers, statisticians, designers and founders. It is powerful to bring all of them to the same room and hope-fully tackle big problems.”

Addit ional ly, Weiner is helping a team of four senior engineering students develop their senior design project into a business. The team made an autonomous pontoon boat capable of collecting and transmitting data from long voyages to scientists. “It is energizing to hear ideas and think about where they can go and how they will get there,” Weiner said.

Weiner will be joining Bain Capital in New York City after graduation.

40th and Pine streets and be-tween 40th and 42nd streets on Walnut Street .

The fewest citations of the weekend were given out Satur-day, when two minors and one juvenile were cited for under-

age drinking. These citations were issued around 36th and Walnut streets.

Rutkowski also said the BLCE is investigating two lo-cal retail establishments on campus which sold alcohol to minors who used false identi-fication cards. The establish-ments might be warned or cited depending on the outcome of the case, which is still ongoing.

Additionally, two local bars permitted loud music on their property in violation of Penn-sylvania Liquor Code regula-tions, Rutkowski said. They

will also face either citations or warnings depending on the bars’ previous history of viola-tions. Rutkowski declined to provide the names of the insti-tutions under investigation, per Pennsylvania law.

Steele noted that the BLCE’s numbers do not encompass citations or arrests made by Philadelphia or Penn Police of-ficers. DPS — which oversees the Penn Police Department — and the Philadelphia Police Department could not immedi-ately provide information on po-lice activity over the weekend.

Last year’s Spring Fling saw a large number of citations on the Thursday night of Fling — 31 at two off-campus parties.

A person who received a cita-tion has to pay a fine or go to court to challenge it.

A number of students felt that the BLCE presence around campus this year changed their Fling experience. The weekend “didn’t feel like Fling,” Wharton sophomore John Jimenez said . “Less stuff was going on that was accessible,” he explained.

“The atmosphere was differ-ent,” College sophomore Han-

nah Sweeney said. “This year everybody was scared.”

Some students said that due to a fear of police citation, there were fewer parties held on campus. There was a “mas-sive exodus” downtown that “divided campus,” College ju-nior Manola Gonzalez , former Daily Pennsylvanian crime re-porter, said.

Many students still enjoyed themselves, however. Police presence “definitely changed Fling, but people still had fun,” Wharton junior Aditi Shroff said . “I actually had a better

Fling than last year,” added College sophomore Grace Jemison , noting this year’s im-proved weather.

Even with the increased number of officers, members of the Greek community men-tioned that they did not expe-rience many problems over the weekend. Sigma Chi, who hosted a registered event, met “no issues at all,” President and Wharton junior Conor Hails said . “I never saw an LCE of-ficer,” added Wharton junior Nathan Fleetwood , president of Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Despite the looming presence of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, Penn played hard during a sunnier-than-expected Spring Fling weekend. On Friday night, students packed Franklin

Field for the SPEC concert, headlined by David Guetta and opened by Magic Man and Ra Ra Riot. On Friday and Saturday,

the Quad again played host to student group performances, games and food vendors. Here’s a look back at the weekend’s

festivities. Let the countdown to Fling 2015 start now.

St udent s , a lu m n i a nd friends of 2012 Engineering graduate Justin Broglie, who committed suicide on April 7, remembered him at an event on Sunday afternoon on Col-lege Green.

The event Dancing in Pub-lic with Strangers follows a Thursday memorial for Broglie at the Christian As-sociation at Penn. A formal memorial for Broglie will be held on May 3 in the Terrace Room of Claudia Cohen Hall, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Dancing in Public with Strangers was inspired by a video of the same name, made in March 2013 by Bro-glie and 2012 College gradu-ate Jerry Liu. Broglie had the idea to go to Indepen-dence Hall, start dancing and encourage people pass-ing by to join him. Liu, who met Broglie in their fresh-man year dorm, joined in and videotaped the event.

Last week , 2013 Engi-neering graduate Jonathan Leung, who knew Broglie, saw the video. He contact-ed Liu to see if another one could be made to remember Broglie. The video “was a positive influence on all of us,” Liu said.

This lighthearted event celebrated Broglie’s person-ality and life. Students and adults smiled as they walked by, danced for the video and talked to the participants. Since there was no music to dance to, two or three at-tendees found empty bottles and started playing a rhythm on nearby trashcans.

Engineering senior Lau-ra MacKinnon and College freshman Tara Rajagopal met Broglie through their work with the Penn Con-sciousness Club, which fo-cuses on self-awareness and inner spirituality. The group also provided an outlet for students to talk about their troubles. Rajagopal said that Broglie sometimes would talk about problems in his life with group members.

MacKinnon carried the club forward after Broglie’s graduation, helping organize

meditation workshops and other sel f-enl ightenment events.

“Justin was one of the most alive people that I know,” MacK innon said . “We’re dancing here today because he loved to dance.”

R ajagopal met Brogl ie

through the Art of Living Foundation, which helped the Penn Consciousness Club organize workshops, such as the Your Enlight-ened Side — YES!+ — se-ries. She contacted Broglie and MacKinnon when she came to Penn and joined the Consciousness Club. Raja-gopal described Broglie as amazing. “Everything he [said] and [did came] from the depth of his being,” she said.

Aardra Rajendran, a Col-lege and Engineering sopho-more, attended the YES!+ workshop that Broglie orga-nized last September. She looks forward to continuing Broglie’s legacy through the club he started.

Liu plans to edit and put together his video within the next two days. It will be on YouTube through his ac-count, JerryLiuFilms, where the original video can be found.

DO YOU PAY PER VIEW?Film polled you to fi nd out how you are getting your Sunday afternoon movie fi xes. Here’s what we learned. BY ANTHONY KHAYKIN

Though we all know the Internet is for porn (thanks Avenue Q), the

bedroom is no longer the only area being ceded to digital terri-tory. For every girl with daddy’s AmEx, window browsing on Fifth Avenue has been replaced with online shopping. And FYEs everywhere have virtu-ally been rendered useless (pun intended) with the existence of the multifarious iTunes store.

Things are no different here at Penn, where the Rave gets nearly half the traffi c for the midnight screenings of block-buster hits like Twilight as Hulu does the day after the newest episode of 30 Rock airs. This makes sense. We Penn students are too busy procrastinating on Penn InTouch and design-ing funny lacrosse pinnies for the clubs we’re involved in to leave the comfort of our beds to

watch Hugo in theaters. And we fi t this mold of overworked Ivy League students well, with only about 17% of Penn undergrads watching movies at the Rave ev-ery semester.

But how about the other ste-reotype, the one that says all col-lege students are poor? The free movement of information made possible by the interweb makes

entertainment accessible and inexpensive to anyone with an AirPennNet account. Wouldn’t

you guess then that Penn stu-dents would prefer to get their RomCom fi x online with free streaming websites like SideReel and Ch131 rather than pay for services provided by Netfl ix and Redbox?

While 75% of us watch mov-ies online, nearly 50% pay for it. I hear Horrible Bosses — a new release on iTunes — is hys-

terical, but is it worth the 1.5 salads at Sweetgreen it would have cost if I had seen it in theaters? Ramen noo-dles aren’t that bad, I guess.

The average Penn student (who is anything but average, if you ask Amy Gutmann) watch-

es seven movies, more or less, every semester. Simple arithme-tic proves that it’s $40 cheaper to watch said movies on Netfl ix than at the Rave, and an addi-tional $20 less on iTunes (cost of popcorn and Mike and Ikes not included in these calcula-tions). The low cost of watch-ing seven movies on iTunes for less than 30 bucks is worth the many conveniences that online paid services afford us: not be-ing interrupted by incessant buffering and commercials, the immunity to computer viruses and most importantly, not hav-ing to wait 54 minutes after watching 72 minutes of a movie on Megavideo.

Not to mention, it’s a small price to pay when you look at the big picture — the combined savings of the 47.7% of Penn students who pay for their online services rather than going to the movie theater is somewhere be-tween $196,136 and $295,344, depending on whether they use Netfl ix or iTunes, respectively. Moral of the story is: we won't judge if you just stay in bed.

This year Penn is celebrat-ing the Latin American and Latino Studies program’s sil-ver anniversary.

Founded in 1988, the pro-gram aimed to consolidate research and discussions at Penn on Latin American top-ics, providing students and faculty with a structured fo-rum to study the region.

Twenty-five years later, the program is celebrating its history and opening a new chapter with a new director for the 2015-16 year.

Next year will be the end of LALS Director and professor of sociology Emilio Parrado’s term and political science professor Tulia Falleti will likely take over in the 2015-16 academic year.

“I think there is lots of room to do interesting and important things academical-ly for our students in terms of teaching and research and

also for the community in terms of community service for Latinos,” Falleti said.

Next year, LALS will also collaborate with the Penn Program on Democracy, Citi-zenship and Constitutional-ism, organizing a number of events and symposia around the theme of “Post(neo)liber-al Latin America.” to discuss current issues regarding the region.

Over its 25-year history, the program has undergone a number of shifts.

Originally known as the Latin American Cultures pro-gram, LALS broadened un-der the leadership of history professor Ann Farnsworth-Alvear, who was the direc-tor from 2001 to 2010. “We changed the name because the Latin American Cultures program had always been more about cultural explora-tion than about geography,

but we wanted to make it re-ally clear that we were also going to include the study of the Latino diaspora in the [United States],” Farn-sworth-Alvear said.

LALS promotes the un-derstanding of the regional context of research in the humanities and social sci-enc e s r e l at e d t o L at i n America, without which our understanding of the re-search would be incomplete, Falleti said.

Alvear said that since Penn has students who are mem-bers of the Latino commu-nity in the United States and those who emigrated from Latin American countries, it is essential that the program ref lects and caters to that diversity.

“For Latinos, learning about Latin America is learn-ing about their own personal experiences. For the U.S.

population as a whole, learn-ing about Latin America is learning about the [United States],” Parrado said.

Farnsworth-Alvear also es-tablished a major and a minor within the program. Today, LALS also offers a graduate certificate. The program re-mains fairly small. There are typically four undergraduate majors and six minors every year, but they focus more on the content of the program rather than on granting de-grees, Parrado said.

For College senior Rob Franco, a LALS minor, the program’s size is an advan-tage.

“It’s small enough that you really get to know the faculty really well,” he said. Franco was the first winner of the Jose Miguel Oviedo Undergraduate Student Pa-per Award for the best LALS undergraduate paper, one of

two new awards presented at the anniversary gala on April 4.

2013 College graduate and LALS major Wes Skold said the academic flexibility of the program was also a big draw for him. He was easily able to study abroad, start tak-ing Portuguese and count courses from a variety of de-partments toward his major.

In future years, Parrado said he hopes that the pro-

gram will become more in-tegrated within the entire University. He also wants to see more courses offered within LALS and the hiring of more faculty specializing in Latino studies.

“The growing diversity of the U.S. population means that that diversity has to be reflected in the curriculum, in the student body, in our staff, and the program values that,” he said.

Defeat was written across the faces of Penn’s women’s tennis this weekend.

Despite putting up a tremen-dous effort in their two-match home stand, the Red and Blue could not register a win, falling to Dartmouth on Friday and No. 46 Harvard on Saturday, both by 4-3 margins.

The Quakers are now 7-9 on the season and 0-5 in the Ivies.

“It’s really tough to have three 4-3 losses [in a row],” coach Sanela Kunovac said of her team, which also lost to Yale last weekend, 4-3. “I feel like we really wanted it more than they did. And usually the team that wants it more — it usually goes their way.”

Indeed, both contests were close. The first match was a nailbiter that remained com-petitive until the final seconds.

Seeking to redeem itself with a win against an under-whelming Dartmouth squad (6-7, 2-1 Ivy), Penn came out strong in doubles play, with wins by both senior Jaime Yapp-Shing and sophomore Sonya Latycheva as well as senior Stephanie Do and fresh-man Luba Vazhenina to pick up the doubles point.

Though junior Sol Eskenazi and Latycheva both notched singles wins in straight sets, Dartmouth captured three singles points to knot the score at 3-3, sending the match to a dramatic showdown at the fourth position between Yapp-Shing and senior captain Me-lissa Matsuoka .

Despite a hard-fought rally by Yapp-Shing, who pushed her opponent to three sets, she ultimately fell, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, giving the Big Green the win.

But it was the next match — the Saturday matinee against Harvard (10-6, 2-2) — that was the real heartbreaker for the Quakers.

Penn quickly captured the doubles point, but with only a singles-point win by Eske-nazi, who won 6-0, 6-2, at the top spot and three straight singles victories by Harvard, the Crimson had the 3-2 edge.

The match came down to the wire at the No. 5 spot, be-tween Do and Crimson sopho-more Amanda Lin , and the No. 6 spot, between Vazhenina and Harvard freshman Hannah Morrill , played simultaneously.

Rallying beneath an oppres-

sive sun, Do was able to pull through with a heroic third-set play, besting Lin, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, to tie the match at 3-3 and turning all attention to the con-test between Vazhenina and Morrill.

“Do just came and played a player that has given so much trouble to Penn ... But she made it in three sets and put us in a position to win. She played on such an extraordi-nary level,” Kunovac said.

But Vazhenina — who, at

times, led the tiebreak — could not keep it together, falling 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(9).

It was an emotional loss for the Quakers, who were at one time squealing in delight and boisterously cheering on their teammates and, in the next moment, dropping their heads in defeat.

A victory against a top An-cient Eight squad like the Crimson would have been a huge upset and could have marked a major game-changer

in Penn’s disappointing sea-son.

“It doesn’t get any closer than this. Three-all, third set tie-break, we had two match points,” Kunovac said. “The girl hits a volley close to the line — that’s three-inches sep-arating us from either being up 4-3 or being down 4-3.”

The Quakers will f inish their season with matches at Columbia next Friday and at home against Cornell on Sun-day.

order and letting in five runs. As King put it, “I don’t worry about long innings when you win two games.”

The Red and Blue didn’t let the scoreboard discour-age them, though. Freshman right fielder Leah Allen led the rally charge, hitting her eighth home run of the sea-son on the second pitch of the inning. Penn followed Al-len’s home run with four hits deep into centerfield to tie the game 7-7.

Cornell regained the lead in the top of the fourth with a home r un f rom sopho -more right f ielder Michiko McGivney . But the Quak-

ers didn’t give up, tying up the score with an RBI from sophomore outf ielder Ka-nani Datan in the bottom of the fifth inning and holding Cornell scoreless for three more innings.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Allen hit a rocket deep into center f ield , a l lowing sophomore shortstop Lau-ren Li to sprint home with the game-winning run.

The Red and Blue got off to a roaring start in the first inning of the second game, answering Cornell’s two runs with four runs of their own to take the lead. Cornell came back though, chipping away at Penn’s lead and overtaking the Red and Blue.

Just when the Quakers’ bats were getting sleepy in the bottom of the fifth inning, the freshman duo of Allen and first baseman Alexis Sar-gent launched consecutive home runs over the right field fence, tying up the score at

7-7.“ We just re a l i zed t hat

we’re still in it and that we could do it,” Allen said. “It got all of our energy up and we kept it up for the rest of the game.”

After Cornell took back the lead on a home run in the sixth inning, Penn finished off the Sunday sweep with an RBI double by Datan and a go-ahead single by Sargent. Li, who scored the winning run in game one, finished off the win to end the second game on the mound.

King was not surprised by her team’s comeback.

“We believe we can hit the ball and we believe in our-selves,” she said.

Penn’s next test will come on April 16 as they take on Drexel at home at 6:00 p.m. The game against Drexel will be Penn’s last opportunity to hone its play before facing South Division foe Princeton on the road.

comeback

Corcoran quickly followed with a second goal only three min-utes later.

Towards the end of the half, the Quakers pulled away with a pair of goals in the final 30 seconds to go into the break with a five-goal lead that they would never surrender.

“We talked about how im-portant it was to the offense to create more opportuni-ties,” Corbett said. “We real-ly did that, generated a ton of shots. Their goalie is strong, but we were just pummeling them.”

The Quakers were dominant on the offensive end thanks to strong performances from senior midfield Lindsey Smith and Corcoran, who each notched hat tricks in the win.

“Nina is a star, she had a lot of fight, a lot of fire in her. She was really great on traps, causing turnovers,” Corbett said. “Lindsey had a great game, she played great de-fense and came through on the attacking side.”

Going into the game, one of the challenges for the Quakers was stopping a strong Dart-mouth offense, spearheaded by sophomore Jaclyn Leto . The Red and Blue found their rhythm on the defensive end early, continually frustrating the Big Green attack and forc-ing 14 turnovers.

“What we’ve talked about is that we can’t leave our one-on-one defenders against them alone and we have to play as a unit,” Corbett said. “All of our eight players really came together and played great to-gether and that’s when we’re at our best.”

Another point of concern for Penn had been the draw, where the Quakers have struggled against tough com-petition. However, against Dartmouth, Penn split the draws evenly, with each team controlling nine.

The win marked the ninth time in the past 11 meetings that the Red and Blue have defeated the Big Green.

As the season begins to wind its way down, the Quak-ers find themselves atop the Ivy League standings with four games remaining over the next 10 days.

Penn’s biggest test will come later this week when it faces Princeton, a team that has only one Ivy loss and nearly came away with a win against No. 2 Maryland last week.

subsequently scored on sopho-more catcher Austin Bossart’s RBI single.

“Brandon Engelhardt really got us going. First pitch he smokes a triple,” Yurkow said. “And we barreled up some balls early, and we could just feel the energy in the dugout. We got up on them, and we could just feel the momentum all day.”

Though the Red and Blue scored in each of the first three innings of Sunday’s early game, Cornell’s Brent Jones matched Cuff in a pitch-er’s duel for five-plus innings. Jones held the Quakers to four

hits, but four Big Red errors didn’t do the junior any favors.

Still, despite Cornell’s slop-piness, the Big Red had a chance to tie the game in the fifth inning.

With runners on first and second, JD Whetsel notched a base hit up the middle. As left fielder Jordan Winawer rounded third and attempted to score, Engelhardt gunned a throw from center to nail the runner at the plate, helping the Quakers preserve their one-run lead.

“To be honest, when that ball first got hit, I didn’t think [Brandon] was going to have a chance,” Yurkow said. “I didn’t think we’d get him, but Brandon came up and made a perfect throw, and that was a huge momentum shift.”

Cuff finished off the com-plete game two innings later, giving Penn a 4-2 win while picking up his fourth win of the season.

In the series finale, the Red and Blue wasted no time, picking up where they left off earlier in the afternoon. The Quakers rattled Cornell’s Paul Balestrieri early, scoring six runs in the first three innings on their way to a 9-2 victory.

Senior Rick Brebner went 3-for-4 with an RBI while Mincher and sophomore Matt Greskoff combined for six ad-ditional RBI.

Though junior R onnie Glenn had runners on first and second base in each of the first four innings, he managed to escape unscathed, deliver-ing six shutout innings while allowing only six hits.

With its f irst four-game weekend series out of the way, Penn now turns its attention to its f inal nonconference game of the season against University of the Sciences on Tuesday before heading to Princeton for four games next weekend.

man advantage, sophomore attack Nick Doktor found Be-linsky, who scored the equal-izing goal with only 13 seconds left, sending the game to over-time.

With 2:38 left in overtime, Belinsky created an attacking opportunity and passed to Los-co near the goal. Losco then found freshman attack Kevin Brown on the left side. Hit as he released the ball, Brown was able to get off a bouncing shot that found its way into the back of the net, completing a miraculous comeback to give Penn the 8-7 victory.

Not to be forgotten, another senior, goalie Brian Feeney, posted 13 huge saves for Penn.

Penn will play at last-place Dartmouth next weekend to finish up its Ivy League slate before finishing the season with nonconference matchups against Towson and St. John’s.

Following Connor Cuff’s six-hitter in Sunday’s first game, junior pitcher Ronnie Glenn threw a six-hitter of his own while striking out six Cornell batters in six innings of work. Glenn picked up his third win of the season and clinched the series for Penn.

Over the weekend, most of Penn’s students were busy flinging. Coincidentally, some of Penn’s top track and field ath-letes were also busy flinging.

But they were flinging in an entirely different sense. To be more precise, they were fling-ing discs, hammers, shots and javelins.

Either way, like the rest of Penn’s student body, the Quak-ers also had plenty of reason to celebrate, as the Red and Blue rewrote the school record books throughout Saturday at the George Mason Invitational.

With Penn Relays only two weeks away and postseason competition looming immedi-ately after that, this weekend’s meet featured relatively low stakes, functioning as yet an-other tune up for many of Penn’s athletes.

However, this wasn’t reflected in the team results, as the Quak-ers put up outstanding perfor-mances across the board despite the low-key nature of the meet.

In a rare occurrence, the meet was team-scored, and both the men’s and women’s teams held their own against fields of largely unfamiliar competition. Both teams finished in the top half of the standings, and the men’s team was able to finish third out of 23 total teams com-peting.

As they have done largely throughout the entire outdoor season — and appropriately,

given the timing of Spring Fling — the throwers stole the show for the Red and Blue.

Sophomore Kelsey Hay may have been Penn’s top performer on the day. The Leighton, Pa., native won the meet’s javelin throw and broke a 12-year-old school record with an outstand-ing toss of 160 feet.

Two of Penn’s top discus throwers — sophomore Sam Mattis and freshman Noah Kennedy-White — traveled to the Texas Invitational on their own to compete against some of the nation’s top throwers. Both stood out, with school-record holder Mattis taking second and Kennedy-White taking tenth overall in the meet.

Back at George Mason, the men’s team also received strong supplementary performances from senior throwers Jake Bren-za and Jim Tully to help bolster its score of 77 points.

The Red and Blue may have made the most noise with their throwers, but they also had suc-

cess on the track despite resting some of their runners.

In his first meet back in action since breaking the school record in the 5000-meter, sophomore long-distance runner Thomas Awad stole the show once again for the men. Awad ran Penn’s fastest 1500m time in 40 years and the third fastest in the na-tion this year at 3:43 on Saturday.

For the women’s squad, senior sprinter Lydia Ali showed up in a big way, running a personal best 11.90 in the 100, another mark good enough for second-best in school history. Ali and junior Heather Bong — the cur-rent school record holder — will headline a promising 4x100 re-lay team for the women moving forward.

Overall, the Quakers put to-gether arguably their strongest team performance of the season at George Mason. Next week-end, they will compete in the Larry Ellis Invitational in their last chance to improve before the Penn Relays.

It was a hard fought weekend for Penn softball.

The Quakers emerged victorious in what turned into a battle of attri-tion, sweeping Cornell by identical 9-8 scores underneath the blazing sun at Penn Park on Sunday.

Penn (12-15, 7-4 Ivy) finished its first of three South Division series 3-1 against Cornell (13-19, 5-5), keeping them in — as coach Leslie King speculates — “good position to win [its] division.”

“[This weekend] doesn’t win us anything. We’ve got eight tough games still ahead with Princeton and Columbia, but that was impor-tant,” she said. “We just had a lot of resiliency today and that is huge.”

On Saturday, the Quakers split a pair of lopsided games with Cor-nell, winning the first, 9-0, and los-ing the second game by the same score. When the teams returned to Penn Park on Sunday afternoon for

the last half of their four-game se-ries, they were much more evenly matched, fighting through 15 in-nings of neck-and-neck play.

Penn’s fought hard for its first victory, coming back from a five-run deficit to win, 9-8.

The Quakers struggled through a particularly long third inning, facing the entire Big Red batting

One step backward, three steps forward.

After dropping its first Ivy contest of the 2014 season and splitting two games on Saturday, Penn baseball responded in emphatic fashion on Sunday, capturing another two wins against Lou Gehrig Division-rival Cornell.

Entering this weekend’s four-game series with the Big Red (15-14, 6-6 Ivy), the Quakers had won 14 of their past 16 contests, including their first eight games in Ivy play.

But facing Cornell’s star sopho-more lefty Michael Byrne in the series opener, Penn’s momentum came to a grinding halt as the Big Red rolled to a 9-0 win.

The second-year southpaw lim-ited the Red and Blue (19-12, 11-1) to five hits and notched eight strikeouts in six innings. Though the

Quakers remained within striking distance for most of the game, junior pitcher Dan Gautieri was tagged for five runs in five and one-third innings.

But the Red and Blue rebounded in the second game on Saturday as rookie pitcher Jake Cousins stifled Cornell’s offense. After giving up a run in the first inning, Cousins settled down, holding the Big Red to five hits in five and two-thirds innings of work.

“Jake has been great for us this season,” coach John Yurkow said. “At that point [on Saturday], the series really could have gone either way. We had to have that game, and he came out with a great fastball, and he gave us a chance to win it.”

Penn’s bats gave Cousins plenty of support, as junior Jeff McGarry went 3-for-5 with a double and a

run batted in. Sophomore second baseman Mike Vilardo had two hits, while sophomore shortstop Ryan Mincher and junior third baseman Mitch Montaldo each added two RBI to help the Quakers notch the 11-2 win.

“I was really proud of the way we bounced back,” Yurkow said. “In the first game, we were really sloppy, and we came back and responded [in the second game], and we were able to carry that momentum into [Sunday].”

With that momentum in tow, the Quakers wasted no time striking against the Big Red in Sunday’s first matchup. After junior pitcher Con-nor Cuff retired Cornell’s first three batters, senior outfielder Brandon Engelhardt led off with a triple and

After a few weeks off from Ivy League play, the No. 9 Penn women’s lacrosse team got back to its confer-ence dominance against Dartmouth this weekend.

In a game that was rarely close, the Quakers took down the Big Green, 10-6. Penn jumped out to a 6-1 half-time lead and had no problem holding off a late Dartmouth rally to claim the win.

“[Dartmouth’s] back was on the wall,” coach Karin Brower Corbett said. “They had a lot riding on [this game], so it was really important for us to win this game and come out 3-0 in league play.”

Penn (7-3, 3-0 Ivy) came out strong from the beginning, racking up a pair of early goals while containing the Big Green’s (5-6, 2-3) offense. Sophomore Iris Williamson began the scoring a little over a minute into the game and fellow sophomore Nina

Penn men’s lacrosse finally found something sweeter than fried Oreos in the Quad.

On what could only be described as a perfect day for lacrosse, the No. 11 Quakers faced off with Ivy-League leader No. 17 Harvard in the final home game for the Red and Blue’s senior class at Franklin Field.

The Quakers battled back from a two-goal deficit in the fourth period to force overtime, where they would ultimately score the winning goal and win, 8-7, in breathtaking fashion.

Saturday’s game was the final home game for senior defensemen Reid Tudor, Maxx Meyer and Alex Blonsky, senior midfields Brian Ro-tatori, Riley Murphy, Zack Losco, Danny Feeney and Drew Belinsky and senior attack Jeff Sestilio. Over 1,160 people in attendance saw the memorable finish.

Junior attack Chris Hupfeldt gave Penn (6-3, 3-2 Ivy) a 1-0 lead on an unassisted goal, but Harvard sopho-more attack Deke Burns quickly evened the score. Losco soon put

Penn ahead 2-1, and junior midfield Mike Power added another score — his first of the season — to help the Quakers head into halftime down only 4-3.

Belinsky’s third period goal, off an assist from Hupfeldt, knotted the score at four apiece , but Harvard came back with two more scores from sophomore attack Will Walker and sophomore midfield Sean Mc-Donagh. Penn junior midfield An-drew Staller recorded his first score of the year in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to one, but another Harvard score made the score 7-5.

Little did the Crimson (7-5, 3-1) know they would not score again in the game.

After playing through two one-minute penalties, each of which forced Penn to play one man down, the Quakers finally broke through late in the fourth quarter with Los-co’s second goal of the game.

Still down one with under one minute to go, Penn forced a Crim-son turnover, and Harvard was sub-sequently penalized for defensive offsides. With possession and a one-
