In the British House of Commons, it is illegal for members to accuse each other of lying or drunkenness. No member can be called a blackguard, coward, git, guttersnipe, hooligan, swine or stoolpigeon.
A military hero, a young biographer, an FBI investigation.
Boarded up with bottled water and sustained by an undeterred Wi-Fi connection, I read a lot while Hurricane Sandy spattered on Monday and Tuesday.
As if on cue, a barrage of midterms and papers have assaulted campus. Wouldn’t it be nice, whilst contemplating the ethical dilemmas in Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment,” to have a former lawyer in your class? And wouldn’t it be helpful, in the throes of Marketing 101, to have a data analyst on your team?
It’s easy to hate on Pitchfork. Armed with over 30 million monthly views, the online music publication has the power to plug some bands into the indie consciousness while pulling the plug on others.
Ann Romney isn’t the only desperate housewife taking the stage at this year’s national conventions. Eva Longoria, co-chair of the Obama campaign, will speak at tonight’s DNC.
Much like coed fraternities, senior societies are exclusive clubs with members who pay dues. Many — such as Friars, Sphinx, Hexagon, Oracle and Mortar Board — choose members based on a tapping system, in which current members choose undergraduates who then are in the running for membership. Although these societies are recognized as “Honor Societies” on the Office of Student Activities website and are advertised under the guise of leadership, service and academic excellence, it is not hard to see how a tapping system can easily become a popularity contest.
The Chemistry Department’s policy is to set the class average to a C-plus or B-minus. According to College sophomore Sage Rahm, the mean score in his Biology 121 class was curved to a C or C-plus. Management 101 is curved on a ranking system, awarding letter grades based on how the numerical student scores line up.
In an age of instant coffee and Starbucks drive-throughs, why does Capogiro Gelato Artisans discourage customers from espressos and macchiatos to go?
Chi Omega has a Career and Personal Development committee. Alpha Chi Omega has a director of Intellectual Development. Psi Upsilon, also known as Castle, hosts dinners for alumni to talk to brothers about professions. And Sigma Chi just installed four study carrels in its chapter house.
Post-midnight visitors to the McDonald’s on 40th and Walnut streets are not there for the free Wi-Fi. There is no late-night snack more tantalizing than those hidden behind the fluorescent glow of golden arches, visible to the high rises’ rooftop loungers, the nocturnal Fresh Grocers, the Walnut-residing walkers and the home-bound Blarney Stone-ers. Starved for late-night dining options, Penn students are drawn to a Big Mac like mosquitoes to an electric lamp. And like our creepy-crawling counterparts, we too are zapped — in this case, by prices on the late night menu.
The Wharton School — despite its fiscal emphasis, brutal curves and overabundant boat shoes — is, first and foremost, a resource. This is what I told myself as I walked into Accounting 101, my first venture beyond the lines of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Not all wake-up calls are made by hotel receptionists. I was greeted one morning by the eloquently T9-drafted, “Hey, it’s Dan from last night,” and accompanying invitation to a date party. After frantically trying to place this person among faces met, I tentatively concluded that Dan-from-last-night had been amiable, polite and forgettable. But more notably, I had conducted myself with no intention of remembering him throughout our unremarkable acquaintanceship. Am I a perpetrator of insouciant introductions and expendable interactions? Caught red-handed in the glow of my SMS sentence, I am forced to plead guilty.
A first-time tour of Penn’s campus — which contains 20,000 students — can be an overwhelming experience. In an effort to personalize these visits, the College of Arts and Sciences began offering its first school-specific information session this November.
Despite Penn’s first place ranking on Newsweek’s list of gay-friendly colleges, homophobia remains an issue on campus, especially in the black community.
In the days leading up to finals, some students have found a way to de-stress through Mindfulness@Penn — a new meditation club on campus that provides bi-weekly guided meditations for the Penn community.
When 2005 College graduate Guillermo Marx and 2007 Wharton graduate Ilana Messing met last December, the streets of Buenos Aires were frozen yogurt-free.
College sophomore Christopher Cruz-Guzman was elected the new United Minorities Council chairman yesterday. In an interview with The Daily Pennsylvanian, Cruz-Guzman expressed his plans to continue promoting unity, diversity and awareness on campus next semester.
“Revolution,” “humanity,” “you are not alone,” “borderless sky” — these slogans decorate T-shirts in the “Undressing Race” exhibit.
College junior Nicky Singh was elected as the new Asian Pacific Student Coalition chairman Wednesday. As chairman, Singh plans to promote coalition unity, foster discussion during general body meetings and reach out to freshmen.
