69 angry faces, 33 sad faces and five surprised faces: these were the Facebook reactions of Penn students when they received news of Penn’s tuition hike via a Daily Pennsylvanian Facebook post on Thursday.

Last week, administrators announced that the University will be increasing the total cost of at-tendance by 3.9 percent, from $63,526 to $66,000 for the 2016-17 academic year. The financial aid budget will also be increased 3.9 percent, from $208 to $214 million, in an effort to offset the burden aided students may face in paying tuition.

This is the seventh consecutive year that tuition has increased by 3.9 percent, and the eighth year that Penn has kept the increase under 4 percent. Financial aid budget has also steadily increased for

the past several years.“I think it’s natural,” College freshman Vivian

Dai said. “I’m not really surprised.”Dai says Penn covers about a fourth of her col-

lege tuition and in comparison to other colleges she applied to last year, provided the best financial aid offer.

“One of the main reasons I decided to come here is because of the financial aid package,” she said. “Obviously my parents will be a little bit more upset [with the tuition increase].”

According to Vice President of Budget and Management Analysis Bonnie Gibson, there was a 36 percent increase in the number of freshmen who received financial aid from Penn from 2008 to 2016. 39 percent of aided freshman last year were from families with annual incomes under $80,000

“We were always aiding the students from under $80,000,” said Gibson at Penn’s Board of Trust-ees Budget and Committee meeting last Thursday. “Particularly in the years during the economic downturn, we have begun to aid more heavily the

students in the middle income ranges.”In 2015, 20 percent of aided students received

grants of $60,000 or more, 43 percent received grants of $50,000 or more and 71 percent of all aided students received grants of at least $35,000.

However, Penn’s tuition increase continues to worry some students who are on financial aid.

“The price of college is ridiculous as it is,” En-gineering junior Jessica Ramos said. “And then increasing it, that’s even more ridiculous.”

Ramos, whose family is currently financing other siblings in college and is of lower middle class status, pays about $10,000 a year in family contributions. The rest is covered by grants from Penn.

“I personally wouldn’t be here if Penn didn’t provide me with grant money,” she said. “If I had to pay 66 grand, I would go somewhere else.”

The saying “It costs money to make money” even applies to internships.

College students everywhere are scram-bling to apply for internships, which have become an essential part of a successful resume . Penn isn’t an exception. Especially this month, when so many internship appli-cations are due, Penn students will shoot off resumes and cover letters to New York City,

D.C., and even the West Coast. New York City will likely draw especially large numbers of applications, since so many Penn students end up there after graduation , but New York is also where one-bedroom apartments run for $3,000 a month in Manhattan and $2,000 in Brooklyn.

For some students, this isn’t a problem. But for many others, it weighs heavily in their in-ternship decisions.

Frederick “Fritz” Steiner, who was re-cently hired as the new dean of the School of Design, is coming to Penn in part to avoid Texas’s new campus carry law.

The law, signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on June 1 of last year, says that li-cense holders may carry a concealed handgun throughout university campuses starting Aug. 1, 2016. This includes class-rooms and some dormitories. Texas will be the eighth public post-secondary campus carry state. Utah, Mississippi, Oregon, Wis-consin, Colorado, Kansas and Idaho already enforce the policy, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Steiner told The Texas Tribune that the law was what primarily spurred him to leave.

“I would have never applied for another job if not for campus carry,” he told the Tribune. ”I felt that I was going to be re-sponsible for managing a law I didn’t believe in.”

University of Texas at Austin’s campus carry webpage has a list of clarifications

Social Planning and Events Committee Film has brought writers, directors, actors and producers to campus before for its annual speaker event, but never a voice actor. This year, that changes with the arrival of H. Jon Benjamin, one of the most recog-nizable voice actors of our generation.

Best known as the lead voice on “Bob’s Burg-ers” and “Archer,” Benjamin is set to speak at Penn on March 22 at 8 p.m. at the Harrison Auditorium. The event will consist of a 60-minute conversation moderated by cinema studies professor Scott Bur-khardt, followed by a 30-minute student question and answer session.

Last year, SPEC Film planned on bringing An-derson Cooper to speak, but the event was cancelled because of Cooper’s “contractual obligation” to cover the Baltimore riots. In previous years, SPEC

Film has also brought in Vince Gilligan, Zach Braff and Joseph Gordon-Levitt .

“We wanted something different this year ... SPEC is looking for diverse things and things people maybe haven’t come into contact with before,” Col-lege senior and SPEC Film Director Eugene Wolff said. “Voice acting is kind of this niche part of the industry.”

At Saturday’s March for Bernie in Center City, it didn’t take long for the puns to start.

Led by a neon orange Jeep blasting “Burn, Baby, Burn” — or, more appropriately, “Bern, Baby, Bern” — the approximately 1,000-person crowd and their many colorful, expressive and in-ventive signs effectively stopped traffic in parts of Center City.

Before the 1 p.m. march in sup-port of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, supporters waited patiently in the chilly weather to listen to speak-ers from a variety of groups. Not all of the groups in attendance seemed like natural supporters of a self-proclaimed democratic socialist.

“It’s his consistency, his hon-esty and his courage that really sticks with me,” said Greg Jacobs, one of the directors of the

Philadelphia branch of Veterans for Bernie. “Those are hallmarks of military thinking and military code.”

Before the march, some mem-bers of Veterans for Bernie spoke about the importance of serving one’s country — not just in war-time, but simply through voting.

For college students in atten-dance, jobs and education were among their top priorities. Before the rally, a senior from Temple University spoke about 15 Now, a movement for a $15 per hour minimum wage.

“I think if people had access to higher education, everything would just be easier,” said College freshman Evan Weinstein, who previously attended a Sanders rally in Philadelphia on Jan. 31.

Michael Coard, an attorney and Temple University professor lamented that “too many black people have decided to drink the Kool-Aid of the cult of the church of the Clintons,” and that this needed to change for Sanders to win.

Alternating between chants

of “This is what democracy looks like” and “Feel the Bern,” the group set off from City Hall on Market Street, taking up the entire eastbound side of the road. After five blocks on Market Street, they circled onto Walnut

Street, waving signs saying “Women for Bernie” and “Bernie walked with MLK! He stands for equality then and now!” all the way.

The group stopped at the inter-section of 11th and Walnut streets,

where speakers lauded Bernie’s social policies.

“[Sanders] has been a tireless advocate for the poor, minorities, working class, veterans, the el-derly, LGBT,” Jacobs said.

All along that stretch of Walnut Street, bystanders engaged with the marchers. Multiple groups of people — mainly seemingly college-aged — joined the group. People in their cars seemed largely unbothered by the traffic stoppage, responding positively to one marcher’s “Honk for Bernie” sign. Shoppers and restaurant patrons stopped what they were doing and pressed themselves against the buildings’ windows, pulling out their phones to photo-graph the rally.

At Rittenhouse Square, the marchers turned right onto 18th Street, and then made their way back onto Market Street and into City Hall with chants of “Feel the Bern!” The group congre-gated again around a speaker, who implored them to sign up for mailing lists, to keep up with the Facebook groups for future rallies

and, most importantly, to register to vote.

While the enthusiasm around Sanders’ candidacy was palpable during the rally, it evidently did not translate to the primary that day in South Carolina. Sanders lost by a nearly 50-point margin to former Secretary of State Hill-ary Clinton in the primary, giving him a wide setback ahead of Super Tuesday this week, where 13 states and territories will cast votes for a Democratic candidate.

Supporters at the Philadelphia rally, however, were not deterred.

“I still definitely support Bernie,” said College sophomore Max Hoenig, “and it was great to see such a great turnout for the rally because it shows you that there are other, real people out there who also support Bernie. To see that support in person is very encouraging.”

Weinstein agreed. “This is what democracy is,” he said. “I haven’t felt that with any other candidate before, and so I’m ex-cited to finally be involved in politics.”

Attendees ranged from students to veteransALEX GRAVESDesign Editor

to address people’s fears. The university estimates that fewer than 1 percent of its students have license to carry and states that it is still a crime for a license holder to carry a

concealed handgun while in-toxicated.

Campus carry has still been met with significant backlash. About 800 academics at UT Austin have signed a petition opposing the law, according to a Guardian article.

“It’s not like there are a bunch

of pheasants roaming around the campus, it’s not a hunting en-vironment,” Steiner told The Huffington Post. “It doesn’t seem to be appropriate to this kind of place.”

Steiner also feels apprehensive about the presence of guns limiting open aca-demic discourse.

“How do you criticize some-one when you know or suspect that they have a firearm?” Steiner asked in the Huffing-ton Post article. “Having been in those situations, people can lose their tempers. That’s not

a situation where a f i rea rm would enhance the experi-ence.”

The Un iversity of Houston even put together a slideshow suggesting that its professors avoid sen-sitive topics when the law goes into effect. The Houston

Chronicle published a picture of one slide from the presenta-tion that said, “You may want to: Be careful discussing sen-sitive topics, drop topics from your curriculum, not ‘go there’ if you sense anger, limit student access off hours.”

Last weekend, the student group Penn First returned to the confer-ence that sparked its formation.

Members of Penn First united with more than 350 college students and administrators at the 1vyG conference last weekend, hoping

to continue the conversation about first-generation and/or low-income identity on campus. 1vyG is the first and only conference to bring stu-dents and administrators from the Ivy League or elite institutions to-gether to discuss and combat issues that first-generation and low-income college students face.

When several Penn students at-tended the debut conference at Brown University last year, they realized they wanted to form a

visible community at Penn. About 12 percent of the of the Class of 2019 identifies as first-generation, ac-cording to the Admissions Office’s website.

“There is something about campus that scatters groups of first generation and/or low-income stu-dents,” College sophomore and Penn First co-founder Gloria Ellis said.

This year, the club brought 24 Penn students to Harvard University for the conference. Six administra-tors attended as well, including the Vice Provost for University Life Va-larie Ena Swain-Cade McCoullum.

The conference ran from Feb. 19-21 and featured workshops, speakers and breakout sessions where students could share the dif-ferent programs at their schools to help fellow first-generation and low-income students. College fresh-man and Penn First member Candy Alfaro said the group found new ideas that could be implemented at Penn, such as more funding for pre-orientation programs, New Student Orientation events for first-genera-tion and low-income students and funding parent visits.

“I think the next step [for Penn First] is to continue the conversa-tion and think about what are some of the initiatives we think would be

most compatible at Penn and gain ground on them,” said Jamie-Lee Josselyn, conference attendee and associate director for recruitment at the Center for Programs in Contem-porary Writing.

Having graduated from Penn in 2005 as a first-generation student, Josselyn supports the new strides Penn First has made and sees herself as a sort of adviser.

“[When I studied at Penn] it didn’t occur to me that [being first genera-tion] was something I should talk about. I was so grateful to be here

at Penn, so I think there were times I struggled and brushed it off,” Jos-selyn said. “I’m glad these students are able to be grateful and address the issues they are struggling with.”

College junior Selamawit Bekele has been active in the first-genera-tion and low-income community as the liaison for QuestBridge Scholars Network at Penn and was excited to attend 1vyG this year. Bekele sees gaps in support that she said may have surfaced when elite schools were initially formed for students of other backgrounds.

Penn First hopes to increase awareness by hosting next year’s 1vyG conference at Penn. Currently, the organization is still in the appli-cation process.

“There is a large past problem that [the administration] hadn’t heard from us. They didn’t realize we wanted a community,” College junior Lauren Beard said. “In going to this conference and meeting all these students we realize no, we want to be heard, we wanted to be recognized [and] we want these issues to be part of [our] campus.”

Submit your entry here: writing.upenn.edu/cw/prizes.htmlDEADLINE FOR ALL ENTRIES: FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 12pm NOON

These contests are subject to the University Code of Academic Integrity. Open to students of any school at the University of Pennsylvania.

In just over a month, approxi-mately 150 college and high school students from across the state will convene at Penn for the fifth annual Pennsylvania Youth Action Conference, which brings together students from Pennsylvania each year to discuss LGBTQ issues.

This year, the conference will take place April 8-10 — the third time that Penn has hosted it. The theme of the conference is “The Future of Community Safety and LGBTQ Pennsylvania.” Many of the conference’s speakers and workshops will focus on ending vi-olence against LGBTQ people, and in particular, transgender women of color.

“Often, we talk about all these larger social issues, but we neglect to really ensure basic safety — the ability to walk down the street without being harassed, the abil-ity to feel comfortable in going to work without being killed. These are really important issues that are not discussed enough, so that’s why we wanted to bring this to the front and center,” said 2011 College graduate and 2014 PennDesign

graduate Jason Landau Good-man, who helped found the Pennsylvania Youth Congress, the organization that puts on the YAC. He is currently the PYC’s executive director.

The PYC is the nation’s first youth-led statewide LGBTQ youth advocacy organization, and much of its work focuses on changing policy at the local and state levels.

The keynote speaker of the YAC, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, will speak on April 9. Miss Major, a formerly incarcerated black transgender woman, has been fighting for the rights of trans-gender women of color for over 40 years. Her activism focuses on advocating for transgender women of color who have survived police brutality or who have been incar-cerated in men’s jails and prisons. She also participated in the Stone-wall Rebellion and fought against the whitewashing of the queer rights movement.

Miss Major’s personal story and work have been featured in the documentary, “Major!” The film will be screened on April 8, the night before Miss Major’s speak-ing engagement.

“What I really like about this conference is that it reminds Penn students to step outside of the Penn bubble and think about what’s

going on in the rest of the state and what’s going on in the rest of the schools of the state,” LGBT Center Associate Director Rebecca Schept said. “We often think about the other Ivies because they’re sim-ilar, forgetting where we have our roots in Pennsylvania. What can we, or what can Penn students, do to make a difference for residents of Pennsylvania on the state level?”

The YAC has historically been co-sponsored by the LGBT Center, Greenfield Intercultural Center, Lambda Alliance and Penn Non-Cis, among other groups and organizations at Penn.

“I think [the YAC is] essential to bringing awareness to LGBT issues and building up the commu-nity’s youth. I’m excited to become more educated about issues and be a better leader within my own community,” said Lexi Thamma-vong, a senior at Central Bucks High School South who will be at-tending the conference.

What makes this conference unique is that it is run by and for LGBTQ youth.

“Young people do have the power to make change and when we get together — when we physi-cally are in the presence of one another — we can create incred-ibly powerful movements,” Landau Goodman said.

expressed worries over the tu-ition increase.

“Penn advertises themselves as a institution that makes sure students who come from low income families don’t have to worry about paying tuition to get a good education,” she said. “[But] the tuition hike does worry me a lot [because] even being on financial aid, my family still has [a] very difficult [time] paying our contribution. Aside from tuition, we have a lot of additional costs that really add to the burden of paying for things.”

Like many of her peers, she’s ap-plying for internships, but she feels very limited in what she can apply for. When she texted her mom to tell her about an internship, she said her mom’s immediate response was, “Where are you living, how are you affording housing, are they paying you?”

“These are things I have to con-sider and many other people have to consider, but people who come from more wealthy backgrounds don’t have to think about,” Tinney said.

Tinney plans to apply to intern-ships primarily in her home city of Cincinnati so she can live at home and avoid the cost of housing, but it doesn’t allow for a very wide pool of options. She’s expanded to look at a few jobs in Philadelphia, some through Penn and some at the May-or’s Office. But those will require summer housing since she lives on-campus during the school year and has a nine-month lease. She will also need to cover transportation costs if she has to get to Center City every day.

Tinney is at another disad-vantage because she’s primarily interested in public policy intern-ships, and she estimates 75 percent of them are unpaid.

Penn has resources to help students out financially over the summer, but the process of get-ting funding is competitive. The different options for financial help are laid out on the Career Services webpage, where organizations

on campus like Civic House and Wharton Public Policy Initiative outline specific qualifications. Career Services also has its own fund to help students pursuing internships not limited to certain areas, which only started three years ago.

“We’d been hearing from more students who were coming in and saying ‘Do you have any way to help me? I got this great intern-ship but it pays minimum wage,’” Career Services Director Patricia Rose said.

Last year, Career Services funded 30 students, but it was only a “percentage” of the students who applied. “We can’t fund everyone who wants to do it,” Rose said.

Career Services takes a number of things into account: the amount of financial aid the student had received, whether or not the in-ternship makes sense in terms of the student’s “career trajectory” and whether or not the student had received funding in a previous summer.

“If the student received intern-ship funding last summer we may want to fund someone who hasn’t yet received funding,” Rose said.

The amount of money awarded can vary. Rose said they’ve covered housing, transportation and other living expenses if the student lives at home.

David Grossman, director of Civic House, is also closely in-volved with funding students for internships.

Grossman said Civic House gen-erally receives applications from

“three to four times as many stu-dents” as it can support, but added, “the good news is that there are so many opportunities for students. We collectively still don’t meet that need but we are working to support as many students as possible.”

Civic House specifically funds public interest internships, and Grossman said it also awards money to cover a variety of costs.

“Some students just need money for a SEPTA pass, some are going abroad and need money for air-fare,” he said.

While Tinney is considering ap-plying for funding, she still has a few concerns.

“If you don’t get the job but you get the scholarship or the funding then what’s going to happen?” she asked. “There’s that uncertainty.”

Additionally, applying for funding for internships adds more work to the plates of students who are already juggling midterms and internship applications.

“People who are able to afford housing or that’s not a concern for them, it’s hard for them to under-stand,” Tinney said. “They’re just like ‘yeah, but you can apply for [funding].’”

Tinney hopes she can find an in-ternship for the summer, which she sees as essential, especially for a job in public policy.

“I’m in a really competitive field so I feel like there’s so many people applying for jobs,” she said. “If you had an internship you already have an ‘in.’ I’m hoping I’ll figure it out when the time comes.”

Imagine coming here from a country where you, a well-off expat, were used to a lifestyle that was pretty exorbitant and exceptional by most standards. Chances are you were living a world away from the typical local life. Locals went to different schools, sometimes spoke a different language and could tell instinctively that you were not one of them. Not just because you were of a different race, but also because of the way you car-ried yourself — loud and large, Western-sounding and oblivious to the norm.

And now here you are at Penn, in a microcosm that functions in essentially the exact same way.

And given the fact that you are now here, chances are the rest of your path will look much the same.

To many people, particu-larly international students, Penn might just be one in a lifelong series of gentrified bubbles.

Oftentimes, the college experience can be complete-ly unattached from the place we live in. This narrative

centers on self-discovery and evolution, which is cer-tainly valuable. However, this risks limiting our ex-perience to campus, turning them away from our city and making Philadelphia a pit stop on the way to a glamor-ous job in New York.

Likewise, being an expat student often comes with the knowledge that home is a transient state. You aren’t exactly from the country you live in. The country you’re in is the background, not the story.

In his inauguration in 2011, former Mayor Nutter commented on this trend, stating “We must not be-come two cities.” He wasn’t just talking about Univer-sity City, but it strongly ap-plies to the experience of most students. The phrase is reflected distortedly in Singapore, a country made up of almost a third of non-residents, most of whom are working. During most of my time there I was a part of the teen expat culture, attending an international school and enjoying a glossy version of Singapore. That version is

markedly different to the ex-perience of a local teenager, who must navigate Singa-pore’s notoriously competi-tive education system. Be-yond that, other expats and I just wouldn’t have the same perception of what makes up Singaporean culture.

The irony in all of this is that we place a lot of value on having diversity of ex-perience. We know that

something is lost by staying inside the infamous bubble, always referred to as some-thing we need to transcend. Among other things, it’s seen as a barrier to culture and experience. No won-der, then, that there’s a

certain admiration reserved for people who have lived in several countries and can describe their life as a journey through seemingly exotic scenery. But often, the expat experience doesn’t represent a local one at all.

That isn’t to say that leaving the bubble is im-possible. At Penn, we of-ten express the desire to explore Philadelphia. After

a while though, the motiva-tion seems to drain away. There’s a sense of effort im-plied in this kind of explora-tion. To get to know a place requires initiative to go out of one’s way, leave campus and, crucially, to free up a

few hours. That’s a big issue for many students, which is insane — the fact that our lives are so consumed by the duty of constructing a future that we can’t even get to know the place we live in now. When your life is constantly turned to bigger things, the culture of where you are right now isn’t that important.

The truth is that as the hours in our day become scarcer, being able to leave the bubble for no other rea-son than to explore turns into a luxury. Belonging to a place that isn’t our final destination is optional.

The problem with this mentality is where it places us vis-a-vis the community. We are assumed to be pas-sive and external, almost adversarial. As Penn stu-dents, it’s easy to feel like outsiders because Penn it-self might appear to be an outsider, like a white-collar fortress in a messy little city, although it plays a big role in Philadelphia. But these shouldn’t limit our in-teractions with local life.

Philadelphia will re-

main in our pasts no matter where we end up, just like all the other places we’ve lived in, whether it was one town or 20 countries. These places should change us and perhaps, by embrac-ing them a little more, we should change them. The Philadelphia we remember shouldn’t be just another background. It is more than a background, and we are more than tourists.

Following the announce-ment of the closure of the Africa Center last spring, students mobilized in protest against what we rightly per-ceived as a marginalization of the study of an entire con-tinent, its billion people, their cultures, languages, histories, economies and institutions. We were told not to worry, that the College of Arts and Sciences’ decision to have the Department of Africana Stud-ies subsume the African Stud-ies Program would not change a thing for African studies majors and minors. We sus-pected we weren’t being given the full story, and now unfor-tunately our fears are being confirmed.

The Penn African Stud-ies Undergraduate Advisory (PASUA), which formed this past summer following the subsumption of our African Studies Program, learned on Thursday that the Department of Africana Studies’ faculty will be considering a proposal to eliminate African studies as an independent major and

minor, folding African studies into their Africana studies ma-jor and minor. If the proposal is adopted, students interested in African studies will only have the option to concentrate on Africa as a part of their larger Africana studies major or minor. For those of us who have proudly declared our-selves as African studies ma-jors and minors, this proposal does not take into account our academic needs. African studies is its own independent discipline and deserves to be considered as such.

African studies and Afri-cana studies are two distinct academic fields. African stud-ies focuses solely on the study of the African continent. Afri-cana studies focuses on Afri-can diasporas throughout the world, primarily in the Ameri-cas. The studies of regions and diasporas are two very differ-ent things. For this reason, the Department of Africana Stud-ies’ proposal to lump the study of the African continent into a greater diasporic Africana major is unacceptable. Every

other region of the world has a major devoted to its study. This proposal will not simply relegate the study of Africa to the lowest rung of the ladder of academia, but it will kick us off the ladder entirely. The African studies major at Penn would no longer exist.

According to the Africana studies administration, elimi-nating the African studies major is necessary because it cannot handle the duties of administering two separate majors. However, consider-ing that 10 of the College’s 27 departments currently ad-minister two or more distinct majors, why is the Depart-ment of Africana Studies un-

able of doing what its peer departments do? This pro-posal seems like an elective logistical choice rather than a financial necessity.

The proposed elimination of the African studies ma-jor was drafted without any consultation with students or

faculty. It was wrong when the opinions of those who study and teach African stud-ies were ignored last spring when the Africa Center was closed. It is just as wrong now that administrators in the De-partment of Africana Studies are actively choosing to plow ahead with this proposal with-out considering the views of those whom it will affect the

most: African studies stu-dents.

In addition to African stud-ies majors, this proposal also undercuts the perspective of students from Africa and the African diaspora. As one of us is from the African con-tinent, this proposal is akin to telling us that the study of her people is not deserving of its own major. While we rec-ognize that African and Afri-cana studies are linked, there is a rich history and future in the African continent that Africana studies doesn’t en-capsulate. A proposal such as this undercuts one of Penn’s objectives to be an a school that promotes inclusion and the ability to study and pursue our passions.

The vast majority of the 11 Africana studies faculty mem-bers who will be voting on this proposal do not study the Af-rican continent and therefore do not possess the African studies expertise necessary to make a fair determination of whether the African studies major should be eliminated.

This situation is no different than having a group of biol-ogy professors decide whether or not to eliminate the physics major. Absurd? We think so too.

Over the past year, no other majors and minors on this campus have had to deal with such administrative nonsense as those in African studies. Let’s leave African studies to the Africanists shall we. Mu-tual respect for one another’s disciplines does not come about through a forced union of the two. African studies is not Africana studies, nor should it be.

African studies is not Africana studies

TUNMISE FAWOLE is a College junior studying health and societies and a co-chair of UMOJA.

DAVID SCOLLAN is a College junior studying African studies and political science and is a founding member of the Penn African Studies Undergraduate Advisory Board (PASUA).

This weekend, nearly 400 mu-sicians from 64 countries signed up to participate in a 48-hour international music production competition called Mixathon48, operated by Engineering gradu-ate student Nicholas Yiu.

Musicians were given three short music files and had 48 hours to submit an original mixed tape that incorporated these stems. Musicians participated from any-where in the world and submitted their finished products online.

The competition began at 3 p.m. Friday. At the start of the contest, so many participants at-tempted to download the stems that the Mixathon48 Google server crashed. The team quickly uploaded the stems to Dropbox and Mediafire in order to spread out the traffic.

“I think it is a really interest-ing indication of how many people are interested in this sort of event,” Yiu said.

Yiu and his then-classmate Matt Gong at the University of California, Berkeley started Mix-athon48. Recognizing a lack of opportunities for amateur musi-cians to create and share their work, Gong and Yiu sought to apply the creative spirit of hack-athons to music production.

“I wondered ‘Why can’t we use this innovation model in the arts and music scene?’” Yiu said.

Last June, they partnered with music software companies Able-ton and Imageline, as well as the popular music blog “Your EDM” to organize the first 48-hour music production marathon.

Now at Penn, Yiu has contin-ued to build Mixathon48. He leads a team of Penn and U.C. Berkeley students that assist with operations, marketing and busi-ness partnerships.

“I’ve always been a huge lover of music,” said College sopho-more Emily Zhen, who is the director of operations for Mix-athon48. “That’s what drew me to it — a way to spread my love for music.”

Mixathon48 held its first com-petition last September, when

participating musicians submitted 35 tapes for judging. This time, the team received 58 submissions.

“I’m really excited to see what people from all over the world come up with,” Zhen said.

Engineering sophomore Jerry Chang, who has participated in other remix contests, submitted a track to Mixathon48. Unlike other competitions he has entered in which he had a month to remix a popular song, Mixathon48 was different, giving him just a short timeframe to remix a tape he had never heard before.

“I liked having to produce under pressure,” Chang said. “It was thrilling.”

Josh Champney, a junior at Keene High School in New Hampshire , recently became in-terested in remix competitions and submitted a tape to Mix-athon48.

“I got no sleep out of it,” he said. “But it was a pretty fun experience. I’d definitely do it again.”

The team will then judge each submission over the next two weeks. Winning prizes included an artist profile on the blog “Your

EDM,” new music production software, headphones and cash prizes.

Going forward, the Mix-athon48 team plans to hold more

international competitions and offer online tutorials and mentor-ships, in-person competitions and even a summer camp for aspiring musicians.

“I would love to continue creating new types of music edu-cation,” Yiu said. “I want to be able to tailor to the needs of music producers around the world.”

With experience in writing and producing, Benjamin brings a broad overview of the industry as a whole, and SPEC Film believes that this event will not only touch

“The transitional shift from tra-ditional media to the online web series is something [Benjamin] has been really involved in,” Wolff said.

His shows, while popular on network TV, really spread and blew up because of Netflix. “Master of None” and “Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp” are also Netflix original series themselves, and their popu-larity reflects the changing nature of how people watch TV.

“He’s definitely been at the fore-front of this revolution,” College junior and SPEC Film director Tim Bloom said.

In the early stretches of the season, members of Penn men’s lacrosse appear to be channeling Jekyll and Hyde. And, against Virginia on Sunday, the team’s lesser side showed up.

Like their home opener against Michigan, the Red and Blue’s road matchup against No. 11 Vir-ginia was a tale of two halves. After two quarters of closely contested lacrosse, the Cavaliers blew the game open, clinching a 15-10 victory over the Quakers (1-1).

The initial stages of the game showed promise despite Virgin-ia’s persistent offensive onslaught. Freshman goalie Reed Junkin, re-cently named Ivy League Rookie of the Week for his brilliant per-formance against Michigan, was a key factor in Penn’s survival of Virginia’s fierce attack.

The first quarter alone saw 16 shots sent Junkin’s way, and the rookie saved nine of them to keep it at a 3-3 tie heading into the second period. After seven minutes of high-scoring play, in-cluding goals from freshman Joe

Licciardi and sophomore Reilly Hupfeldt, the action slowed down. The Quakers entered the half down just one.

The third quarter, however, would prove to be decisive in securing the win for the Cava-liers (2-2). Buoyed by senior attacker James Pannell and junior defender Tanner Scales, both members of the Tewaaraton Award watch list, Virginia ripped off a 5-0 run while holding Penn scoreless for over eighteen min-utes of play.

Hupfeldt stopped the bleeding with a goal with four minutes to go in the period and senior cap-tain Nick Doktor brought the score to 11-7, giving the Quakers some hope. In the final period, however, Virginia quickly squashed any chances of a come-back. Pannell, recently drafted by the New York Lizards of Major League Lacrosse, ended the day with a hat trick and two as-sists, ensuring that Virginia ably bounced back from an overtime upset loss to High Point.

With such a young team, it was inevitable that the experience, or lack thereof, of Penn’s squad would be their undoing. In stark contrast with the savvy of Virgin-ia’s upperclassmen, the Red and Blue rely on a lineup stocked with rookie talent.

“I think it affected the way we didn’t respond to the first five minutes of the third quarter. And we had guys missing looks that we normally should make,” coach Mike Murphy said. “The freshmen have only played two college games, so they’re still ad-justing to the pace of play. What we’re trying to create here are championship habits. Those are still developing in those younger guys.”

Although it was the second-half run that sunk the Quakers, Virginia dominated statistically across the board. While Penn recorded 35 shots, 25 ground balls and 8 face-offs, the Cavs re-corded 48 shots, 34 ground balls and 19 face-offs.

“We’re definitely going to focus on the face-offs,” Murphy said. “We got killed in the face-offs and that’s definitely an area where we need to shore some things up. In the third quarter, they were basically playing ‘make it, take it.’”

As Penn progresses through the season and continues to take on nationally-ranked opponents, inconsistency and inexperience could spell their downfall. The Quakers hope to avoid a losing streak in their next matchup against in-state rivals No. 12 Penn State on Saturday.

Red and Blue walk away from Virginia empty-handedM. LAX | Quakers falter with second-half woesSANJAY DURESETISports Reporter

Sophomore attack Reilly Hupfeldt came off the bench to score two goals and add an assist at Virginia on Sunday. With the loss, the Quakers move to 1-1 on the season and will host Penn State on Saturday.

DP FILE PHOTO

a Howe Cup trophy, Wyant refuses to let the results dis-courage him.

“Even until the very end I had hope,” he said.

The Quakers have no reason to hang their heads in defeat, players such as Stephan who improved her record this year to 16-0 and Richey Award final-ist Tan highlight some of the incredible things this team ac-complished this year.

Taking the court before the women, the men’s squash team had a rematch with Harvard in the consolation finals of the

Potter Cup.After a 2-1 first shift, the

match seemed to be shaping up to be yet another nail-biter.

Everything changed once the second shift started. Sopho-more Hayes Murphy kicked things off by putting Penn up 3-1 with a victory at the No. 2 spot on the ladder, while junior BG Lemmon took a tightly con-tested match to put the Quakers one match away from the vic-tory.

Down 0-2 in the final match of the second shift, Max Reed stormed all the way back to force a decisive fifth game. While the coaching staff was occupied with coaching the

women through their match against Harvard, Reed clinched the men’s team’s first victory over Crimson since 1979, just the third win ever over their Cambridge rivals.

After a tough first round loss to Rochester on Friday, the Red and Blue have rebounded to maintain their top-five ranking, their best season finish since 2007.

“The men’s season had lots of ups and downs,” Wyant said. “To see such a young team come through yesterday in a tough match and then back that up today, they personified what we want Penn Athletics to be about.”

SQUASH>> PAGE 8

A basket for Cornell made it 46-43 before a questionable foul called on Nwokedi brought Cor-nell forward Nia Marshall to the line. She split her attempts before Ross drained a huge three with two minutes to play. Down 47-46, McLaughlin’s squad would not score again.

After a series of missed shots, Cornell’s Nicholle Aston drained a jumper with 40 seconds to play to bring the lead to three. Nwokedi’s layup attempt at the other end didn’t fall. Aston would eventually hit a pair of free throws with 7.8 sec-onds to play, and the Quakers just couldn’t come back.

With an unusual day off between Ivy games — Sunday’s matchup against the Lions (12-15, 1-11) aired nationally on the American Sports Network — the Red and Blue had time to regroup.

“It was pretty mentally impor-tant for us to get back out together,” McLaughlin said. “I thought we were a little bit better in transition, a little bit smoother than Friday night.”

And they came out entirely dif-ferent at Levien Gym on Sunday. In the opening six minutes, threes from guards Kasey Chambers and Beth Brzozowski matched the team total from Friday — and gave the Red and Blue a 10-8 lead.

Three straight possessions with offensive rebounds from Stipanov-ich helped give the Quakers the

chance to stay ahead of Columbia, and they entered the second quarter up, 15-13.

From there, Penn began to open things up. With four players even-tually scoring in double digits — led by 13 from Stipanovich — McLaughlin’s squad was able to spread out play and keep control of the game.

Despite being the only starter not to score in double digits, Ross added four assists and seven boards to go with six assists from Cham-bers, who tied her career mark.

Columbia was forced into shoot-ing deep threes early and often,

and they weren’t able to convert on them. Eventually the Quakers were able to take a 34-20 lead into the half.

Out of the break, it didn’t get closer, going up as much as 24 in the third quarter. By the time the final minutes ticked by, none of Penn’s starters remained on the floor. The Red and Blue played as they had through nine straight Ivy wins. It was as if Friday’s game had never happened.

“I don’t think people need to lose to win again,” McLaughlin said.

“It’s just sometimes it happens, and it’s how you bounce back.”

W. HOOPS>> PAGE 8

It will be tough for the Quakers to move on without Nelson-Henry and Lewis. But this weekend also showcased the future of Penn basketball.

Freshman sharpshooter Jack-son Donahue scored 29 points over the two games and to-taled 75 minutes on the floor. He helped the Red and Blue pull away from Cornell and — along with junior forward Matt

Howard — was a big part of the Quakers’ effort to hang close with Columbia for the first 15 minutes. Donahue’s backcourt partner and fellow freshman, Jake Silpe, added a fine game of his own on Friday. He scored 12 points and forced five turn-overs while playing the role of facilitator.

These three will need to con-tinue playing at a high level over the upcoming two weeks for Penn to finish the year moving in the right direction

and put the past three years of mediocrity behind them.

Nelson-Henry, playing on a 10-win team for the first time in his career, had only one regret after he finished his final home game.

“Looking back on it the only thing I can really say is that I wish I would’ve won more.”

That should be enough incen-tive for his squad to rally on the road, where they will close out their first season under Dona-hue.

Ivy title defense unsuccessful for Red and Blue

As the snow melted during a 53 degree day in usually frigid Ithaca, Penn was not as hot as the thermometer read.

This weekend Penn gymnastics competed in the Ivy Classic, fin-ishing a disappointing last out of four teams as the squad sought to defend its 2015 title.

Though not every school in the Ancient Eight has a gymnastics team, the four that do, Brown, Cornell, Penn and Yale, face off in this annual tournament.

Both Cornell and Brown tied for the top, both scoring 193.325 and ahead of the 191.050 posted by the Red and Blue.

However, the Quakers did have some good news on the day. Senior Elyse Shenberger tied for

Ivy champion on the uneven bars, scoring 9.850 and sharing the title with Caitlin Green of Cornell.

The Red and Blue began the competition on the beam, and sophomore Ally Podsednik led the way for Penn. The top five scores on the event came out to a total of 47.725, which put the Quakers in third place after the first event.

Penn then moved to the floor exercise and scored a collective 48.025, the team’s highest scoring event of the day. With a running score of 95.750, the Quakers held their third-place spot as the com-petition crossed the midway point.

Continuing in Olympic order, the Quakers moved to the vault. On what is usually a strong appa-ratus for the Red and Blue, Penn only scored 47.375, its lowest event score of the day, which re-sulted in the Red and Blue falling from third into fourth, from which they would not recover.

As has been the case at other points in the season, the uneven

bars was not a game changer for the Red and Blue. While it was a standout performance for Shen-berger, the team scored 47.925, which was not quite enough to surpass the other squads and re-sulted in a fourth place finish overall.

This is a disappointing follow-up to last year’s Quakers’ Ivy Classic victory at the Palestra. Scoring 193.725 just a year ago and edging out Brown by 0.300 of a point, a repeat of last year’s score would have been enough to secure a two-peat Red and Blue victory. But it was not meant to be.

While a 191.050 is most defi-nitely not a bad score, it was just not enough to overtake Penn’s Ivy competitors this weekend.

However, Penn’s season is far from over, and now the Quakers turn their attention to next Satur-day and to a much closer foe in North Philadelphia. Temple will host a tri-meet with the Red and Blue and Bridgeport at 1 p.m.

Although Penn gymnastics was unable to defend its title at Sunday’s Ivy Championships, senior Elyse Shenberger won a share of the Ancient Eight title on the uneven bars as the Quakers took fourth overall.

Swanson, Schultz dominate Ivies, Penn takes third

The phrase “all-time best” gets tossed around a lot in sports. However, no other phrase better captures Penn men’s swimming’s performance at this year’s Ivy League Championship meet.

Penn claimed a school-record six individual Ivy League titles en route to a program record of 1,213.5 points at the championships. The Quakers’ third-place finish in the three-day meet marked only the second time in program history that the team has finished in the top three, falling behind only Harvard and defending champion Princeton.

While the historic achievements of the team are impressive, it was the individual accomplishments that made the meet truly special for the Quakers.

Freshman Mark Andrew an-nounced his presence to the rest of the Ivy League in spectacular

fashion. After finishing third in the 200-yard individual medley on Thursday and breaking a Penn record with a preliminary time of 1:45.15, the rookie came back on Friday to win the 400 IM in decisive fashion.

His time of 3:43.53 not only broke his own school record, but gave him the all-time Ivy League, Ivy Cham-pionship meet, and Brown pool records. Andrew went on to score additional points for Penn in Satur-day’s 100 freestyle event, where he finished eighth.

Penn’s standout seniors Eric Schultz and Chris Swanson also added to their legacies over the weekend, as each claimed multiple individual titles.

On Friday, Schultz claimed his second consecutive Ancient Eight crown in the 200 free with a win-ning time of 1:35.22, which was slightly slower than his winning time of 1:34.80 last February. Later that day, Schultz combined with Andrew, freshman Thomas Dill-inger and junior Kevin Su for the 800 free relay, where the team fin-ished second despite setting a new

school record of 6:25.79.The senior found himself on the

podium twice more on Saturday for both an individual and relay event. Schultz claimed another individual title in the 100 free with a time of 43.19, which represented his fourth Ivy championship as a member of the Red and Blue.

The relay team of Schultz, Andrew, Dillinger and Su also snagged another school record with a second place finish in Saturday’s 400 free relay.

Not to be outdone, Swanson claimed three Ivy titles over the weekend on his way to becoming the most decorated swimmer in Penn history with nine total cham-pionships.

For the second consecutive year, Swanson won all three of the meet’s distance events, winning the 500 freestyle on Thursday, the 1,000 free on Friday, and the 1,650 free on Sat-urday. The senior has now won the 1,650 all four years at Penn, and his time of 4:16.13 in the 500 freestyle was a new Ivy League, Ivy Champi-onship and team record.

“Whats so impressive about

Chris is the speed he has in the shorter events in addition to his natural distance ability.” Penn coach Mike Schnur said. “Nobody had the guts that he did to go out in the 500 and swim that speed right out of the blocks, and thats why he is the greatest distance swimmer in the Ivy League.”

After the meet, Swanson was awarded both the Phil Moriarty and the Harold Ulen recognitions, for being the meet’s top points scorer and the meet’s top career points earner, respectively.

“The seniors this year were dif-ference makers plain and simple. ” Schnur said. “We are going to have a tough time replacing these guys, but with freshman like Mark [Andrew] coming through I think we are going to be able to handle the transition better than most programs.”

While the season may be over for most of the swimmers, some mem-bers of the team will begin gearing up for the NCAA Championships starting March 24. And for Schultz and Swanson, it will be one last chance to cement their names firmly in the history books.

State comes out on top

It was Penn vs. Penn.Sunday afternoon, Penn men’s

tennis faced off against No. 21 Penn State at the Hecht Tennis Center, dropping its last home match before heading into An-cient Eight play, 5-2.

The day began with a close loss in doubles play. After two gruel-ing matches in the No. 1 and No. 2 flight that ended in a win and loss, respectively, the Quakers faced a bitter loss in the tiebreaker set giving Penn State a running start with the doubles point.

“Penn’s State a really good team. We were expecting a really tough match, and I think some of us just let it get into our head,” junior Matt Nardella said.

“Losing the doubles point really affected our momentum. We had our best teams on the courts and we were so close.”

The momentum of the loss af-fected some, but not others.

Freshman Kyle Mautner easily swept his match, 6-1, 6-4, secur-ing the Red and Blue’s first point.

Nardella persevered through a tough three-setter against his opponent. After losing the first set, 6-7, he came back winning his second set, 6-4, and playing through a victorious third set.

Despite the loss, the squad views the match optimistically as a crucial practice opportunity and learning experience this season, especially in preparation for the Ivy League conference.

“Penn State plays against a lot of other Ivy schools, and we’ve

seen their schedule,” Nardella said. “So we knew if we came out and played a competitive match we would be able to go up against anyone in the Ivy.”

Like the women’s team, the men’s team will be packing their bags this break and heading out west — but to San Diego and Denver — to play against more nationally ranked teams.

“It’s going to be a pretty com-petitive spring break. We’re going to start playing outdoors and because those teams have been playing outdoors all year,” Nardella said.

“We’re going because we want to compete against nationally ranked teams — the best. It will be great practice to play against top schools,” Penn coach David Geatz said.

Ivy League prospects for the Quakers this year seem very ambiguous. Last year the team fell from grace after losing some of its best players to injuries, and since the beginning of this season, some players have yet to fully re-cover.

“Some of our best players can only play well for about half an hour or just one day of the

competition before they start get-ting sore or tired,” Geatz said. “Dmitry [Shatalin] hurt his wrist just when he started playing so we had to take him out again.”

“Our main goal before the Ivy is really just to get everyone healthy again.”

On the other hand, Penn has had a relatively successful season this year with or without the ef-forts of its injured players. Having beat out Dartmouth, who tied for second in the Ivy League confer-ence last year, and barely losing to Princeton, who tied for fourth, in the ECAC two weeks ago, the team sees potential to be very competitive this year.

“Last year, we were last, but that is something to build on. Our victory against Dartmouth and our hard work can definitely change that,” Mautner said.

As such they are utilizing all the time they have to prepare.

“We have two weeks off before Ivy play, and we’re going to use those two weeks to really work on our fitness and all our weaknesses need to be as strong as possible,” Nardella said.

“We’re going to start tomorrow, trying to play better and tougher.”

Close, not close enough

With 21:16 to play in the second half, senior attacker Iris Williamson fired in a free posi-tion shot — her fourth goal of the game — to bring Penn’s deficit down to just one, 7-6.

However, that would be the closest No. 13 Penn women’s lacrosse would get down the stretch against No. 10 Duke as the Blue Devils closed the game on a 5-0 run to cap off a 12-6 win. While the final box score may read as a Duke (3-3) blow-out, the Quakers (1-1) kept the Blue Devils within striking dis-tance for most of the game.

“We made several mistakes, I felt that we beat ourselves a lot,” coach Karin Corbett said. “Duke is a very athletic team and they go hard and they took an early lead, but we were in it in the first half.”

Coming out of the gate, Penn looked strong, capitalizing on early goals from Williamson and junior Emily Rogers-Healion to take a 2-1 lead. Duke quickly ral-lied to score the next three goals as the two teams went back and forth in the first half.

With time winding down in the half, the Quakers had a chance to take just a two-goal deficit into the break, but Duke’s Maddy Acton capitalized on a late Penn turnover to score a de-flating goal with one second left in the half to give the Blue Devils a 7-4 lead.

“It’s a tough moment to go into the half with a goal like that to

the other team, but we went back to the locker room and we had to regroup,” Williamson said. “We got fired up for the second half and had to come out strong.”

Entering the second half, Penn re-focused its defensive efforts, holding the Blue Devils score-less for the first 19 minutes of the half, while Williamson found the back of the net twice to bring Penn to within one goal.

The Quakers couldn’t fully capitalize on the defensive effort as Duke eventually broke through to score two more goals before Corbett pulled her goalkeeper out to try to force turnovers down the stretch. The empty-netters gave the Blue Devils a wider margin of victory as Penn took the aggressive ap-proach to try to fight back into the game.

“At the end they were pulling the ball out, looking like they were going to wait for us. So you make a call, you either lose by two when they go up 8-6,” Cor-bett said.

“What do you do? Sit back and let them run out the clock or go

after them. That opened up the floodgates unfortunately.”

Duke’s advantage on draw controls had a significant impact on Corbett’s decision and forced Penn to get aggressive. The Blue Devils won 14 of 20 draw con-trols over the course of the game.

Duke was also able to capital-ize more effectively on its free position shots, notching 3-of-5 as opposed to the 1-of-4 rate for the Quakers. The Blue Devils’ overall shot density also played a huge factor as they took 21 shots on goal while Penn had just 12.

Moving forward, the Red and Blue will look to rebound against Rutgers on Wednesday before opening their conquest to retake the Ivy League title — which they held for eight straight years between 2007 and 2014 — against Brown on Saturday.

“We made a lot of mistakes that are fixable, which is good. We beat ourselves a little bit today, but we can fix those things,” Corbett said. “We are young, we need to learn from this, grow from this, but they’re all fixable mistakes.”

“Today just wasn’t our day.”After coming agonizingly close to

winning his first Howe Cup cham-pionship, Penn squash coach Jack Wyant couldn’t help but be pensive after the women’s team lost, 5-4, to the defending champion, Harvard.

It was one of the most exciting squash matches of the year as the two best teams fought an intense battle up and down the ladder to decide the na-tional championship.

Harvard (13-0) drew first blood with a sweep of freshman Rowaida

Attia by Sue Ann Yong. With the match score at 1-0 and Penn (14-2) trailing in the other two matches in the first shift, the contest threatened to get out of hand early.

The momentum shifted to Penn’s side soon after, however. Down 0-2 to Sophie Mehta, junior Grace Van Arkel stormed all the way back to win in five. Soon after, senior Yan Xin Tan gave Penn the lead with an-other five-game winner.

Following Michelle Wong’s four-game victory to put Penn up 3-1, the momentum started to shift back to the Crimson. Wins by Dileas MacGowan and Kayley Leonard of Harvard knotted the match score at three heading into the final shift.

With everyone watching the action unfold at the Brady Squash Center,

the match got even more exciting. Marie Stephan found herself down 0-1 in her match before f lipping a switch and dominating her opponent en route to a four-game victory to put Penn one point away from the title.

Facing a 4-3 deficit, Saumya Karki struck back with a four-game winner to bring the score to 4-4 with one match left.

With a huge crowd flanking all sides of the center glass court, the two No. 1s from both teams fought tooth and nail for the right to bring home the national title.

“Reeham [Salah] is one of the most talented squash players to ever come to Penn,” Wyant said. “I was hoping it would come down to that.”

Salah fought hard, but fellow freshmen Sabr ina Sobhy was

ultimately able to pull out a four-game win to clinch the national title for the Crimson.

The pivotal fourth game was a spectacle to behold. Aside from the great squash from both players, there was plenty of controversy surround-ing the officiating calls — especially a costly conduct stroveis that a thing? given to Salah early in the game.

Salah and Sobhy could once again find themselves playing for a dif-ferent title next week. With both freshmen sure to receive top four seeds at the upcoming CSA Individ-ual Championships next weekend, the duo will surely find themselves on another collision course.

NEW YORK — Things are going to be interesting down the stretch for Penn wom-en’s basketball.

After losing for the first time in Ivy League play at Cornell on Friday, 51-46, the Quakers rallied to beat down Columbia, 60-42, Sunday afternoon.

It was as if the Red and Blue needed the jolt Friday night provided, struggling to control the flow of the game early.

The two teams traded points to start, as Penn (21-4, 10-1 Ivy) trailed, 14-13, through the first quarter. The Quakers wouldn’t have been in the game at all if it weren’t for junior forward Sydney Stipanovich, who made six of her first seven shots, finishing with a team-high 16 points.

Adding eight rebounds to her total, the St. Louis native became just the sixth player in program history to log 1,000 points and 700 rebounds in a career, eclipsing both milestones one the night.

“Right now, you can’t really look at that,” Stipanovich said of the milestone, demur-ring on its importance. “I think when I graduate and when my career is over, it’ll be nice to look back on. But right now my focus is pretty much on these games.”

Scoring slowed into the second quarter, with a free throw from sophomore forward Michelle Nwokedi being the only point in the first three minutes. Back-and-forth play followed, with the Big Red (14-12, 6-6) eventually gaining a little separation, taking a 29-25 lead into the half.

“I think they just came out strong and it just shocked us in the beginning,” sopho-more guard Anna Ross said. “It got us out of our usual flow and we didn’t come back as strong in the first half.”

Out of the break, Cornell stretched its lead to nine, 42-33, and no one from the Red and Blue seemed able to take over the game.

“I just think we got outplayed,” Penn coach Mike McLaughlin said. “They moved the ball better, I thought the ball movement was better than ours. They made quite a few shots late in the shot clock.”

They would enter the final frame with the nine-point deficit, and it just proved too much for the Quakers. Penn’s defense re-turned to form in the quarter, holding the Big Red scoreless for the first six minutes as the offense found the basket four times to pull within one.

Up-and-down weekend deals Quakers hope, anguish

Penn basketball learned who they are last weekend at the Palestra. More importantly, they learned what they must do to get to where they want to be.

The Quakers began the weekend by completing the season sweep of eighth-place Cornell with a 79-67 victory. But Saturday’s result, a 93-65 loss to third-place Columbia, served as a reminder that the Red and Blue are not on par with the league’s elite just yet.

“I said to the guys, ‘Listen, I kinda know what it takes to win in this league and kinda know what it looks like,’” Penn coach Steve Donahue said in refer-ence to his tenure at Cornell

after the loss to the Lions (20-9, 9-3 Ivy). “We’re not there obvi-ously.”

The victory over the Big Red (9-17, 2-10) was a testament to the growth the program has en-dured during Donahue’s brief run at the helm. Five Quakers (11-14, 5-6) finished in double figures as senior center Darien Nelson-Henry recorded his ninth double-double of the season. But after Saturday’s humbling defeat, Donahue put the rebuilding process into per-spective.

“It’s typically not overnight,” he said of the climb back to the top. “And typically it’s not smooth. There’s gonna be some ups and downs and now you re-cover and deal with failure.

“I think we took a huge step forward this year. But tonight was a measuring stick for sure to where we gotta get to.”

With five conference wins

in the bag, the season still has plenty of meaning for the Red and Blue. There is a very real possibility that Penn will enter its March 8 matchup against Princeton with not only with the goal of preventing their rivals from winning the league title but also achieving a win-ning conference record of their own for the first time since the 2011-12 season.

Donahue wants to keep his players focused on these goals so that they can end the season on a high note.

“I wanna see incredible pass-ing and energy over the next 10 days,” he said. “I wanna com-pete our tails off on the road. I wanna go up there [to Dart-mouth and Harvard] and try to win two games and then come back to Princeton and play.”

As much as this weekend was about the future of Penn bas-ketball, it was also a tribute to

the past. Saturday was the sea-son’s final home game, and so Nelson-Henry and senior guard Jamal Lewis said goodnight to the Palestra one final time after their loss.

Lewis, who has an incredible story of perseverance following a life-threatening infection that sidelined him last season, was placed in the starting lineup for the first time all year on senior night.

Despite the pregame cer-emonies for the seniors and the disappointing game, it wasn’t until they walked off the floor that Penn’s two veterans felt the weight of the moment.

“Me and Jamal kinda broke down a little bit in the locker room,” Nelson-Henry said after the game. “I’m happy that I get to move on but sad that it’s over.”

Freshman guard Jackson Donahue joined a diverse scoring effort in Friday’s win before adding 16 points in a blowout loss Saturday.
