Chanukah songs never sounded cool until this acapella group I heard at The White House tonight. @PennShabbatones pic.twitter.com/Ie4iGRbbBY
Remember when UTB hazed sent its freshman contributors trick-or-treating at Greek houses this Halloween? It was a noble effort and a worthy debut for Under The Button's YoUTuBe channel, but with only two frats answering their doors, we demanded better. And what better time to up the multimedia ante than the most wonderful time of the year?
Our GIRL Vanessa Bayer was a guest on Late Night With Seth Meyers last night, which is already pretty cool. Even better is that the Penn alum and her old SNL costar talked SMAC – a.k.a. Singers, Musicians And Comedians, a subdivision of the Performing Arts Council (PAC)! (Puns on acronyms, a UTB special.)
BREAKING: If you didn't hear, Amy Gutmann attended last night's Eagles game...and solidified her spot on the City of Brotherly Love's A-List. That's right, Madame President sat in the owner's loge box directly behind the one and only Bradley Cooper!
Ugh, finals cannot get it. 'Tis the season for the most miserable time of the year, which somehow immediately precedes the most wonderful. It's Sunday night and the end of paper writing/exam cramming seems forever away, whether you're finishing tomorrow or Thursday. But, hey – for your procrastinatory pleasure, UTB will take off its cynic's hat and look on the bright side of life.
DPS Issues Advisory About String of Local Assaults (UPDATED) -- Please stay safe, Penn, and don't walk around alone after dark. The DP and West Philly Local have details about at least four women in the area being sexually and physically assaulted.

Ring the alarm! Our fair friend PhillyMag reports that the fabulous crown worn by Beyoncé herself in the new "7/11" music video is designed by Penn alum Laura Wass of Brooklyn's WXYZ Jewelry! We've certainly been missing Bey in Philly since Made in America '13 (and WilCaf's Beyoncé Latte, RIP). And while she's def not coming for Fling, we're psyched she paired a Quaker design with her baller Playboy sweater.
It's happening! It's hapPENNing! Dudes in cherry pickers were spotted on Locust Walk today adorning its canopy with the annual nondenominational CHRISTMAS BALLS! Your dorm room Xmas lights have nothing on Locust's annual twinkling orbs that light up the night sky every holiday season. The transformation usually happens during Thanksgiving break (in solidarity with the etiquette of waiting to Christmastime music), but on this 65 degree wintry day, we guess they were just like, "What a bright time. It's the right time." Season's greetings to all!
Hear ye, hear ye! This year, SPEC is doing preventive damage control smartly asking our Fling artist opinions in advance of the announcement. While we're all about the annual collective bitchfest, we suggest everyone actually fill out this survey, so you know, maybe everyone will be happy (gasp!) with the choices! Or at least most people. Will be okay with it. It could happen. So make your opinion heard!
Yo, our weekly Locust Flaikus are the bomb, but TRADITIONAL POETRY. CAN. GET. IT. Hell yeah, we're upping the ante and werkin' that A/A/B/B/A rhyming structure for your education and entertainment. Are they worthy of publication in a book of children's nursery rhymes? Probably.
What's that festive vibe in the air on this brisk morning? THAT WOULD BE THE CAMPUS-WIDE JOY OF OUR UNIVERSITY HIGH HOLY DAY: AMY GUTMANN'S BIRTHDAY.
There's no denying Amy G is a Proud Penn President. But as many know, she has a dark past (no, not this!)... it's that she's not an alumna! Dasrite, twist on this feature.
BREAKING: Oh snap! Four long months after Snapchat created geofilters, they're finally blessing Philly with TWO of its own – and it's high time. Our major metropolitan city has been unjustly marginalized, but no more! Now, tag your Snapchats – seXXXy, sceney or otherwise – with either "Philly" or "Philadelphia." Snaps to that! Will neighborhoods come next, a la NYC? Is "West Philadelphia" or "University City" just around the corner? Perhaps even "Penn"...or (ugh) "UPenn." Maybe we'll be able to geofilter by frat chapter house or Beige Block or COPA! It's possible.
And it's a horribly reported, un-groundbreaking generalization.
Hear ye, hear ye! UTB is introducing a new multimedia frontier: VIDEO. Dasrite, it's a whole new digital front and it's all hapPENNing on the Yo UTuBe. This past weekend, Penn got down and dirty for a rowdy Halloweekend – for better or for worse.
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year -- No, slow your roll, it's not time for Christmas music until Thanksgiving. Deal with it. But it IS time for that biannual institution: 34th Street's SHOUTOUTS! You've been saving up stories, developing crushes, and nurturing passive-aggression all semester long, and it's finally time to scream and shout and let it all out. Submit a snarky one-liner here by 11/16 and you could see it in the mag. Check out last year's collection for some inspiration, and remember: Senior Superlative voting is also open.
Timehop informs us that three years ago today, it snowed on campus. It was Family Weekend; current seniors were freshmen. In 2014, however, it's very much still autumn, which means 'tis the season for PennPorn. As always, we asked you to email us your seXXXy campus pics or use #PennPorn on Instagram, and you certainly delivered. Presenting the winners...
Fact: everyone at Penn is a nerd, no matter how cool. So UTB's inner history geek is coming out to play in our first ever installment of DP Time Machine, in which we'll be looking back on our fine university in decades of yesteryear through the lens of ads that were placed in The Daily Pennsylvanian.
