You might be wondering why your living room has been covered in chalk since last week, or why some people are mysteriously carrying around questionable musical instruments during the day. That's because Senior Society Season is among us, and although you might be asking yourself if half of these groups even exist, here are the latest pledge classes you need to know about.
My friends and I slogged our way over the Locust Walk bridge and down past Huntsman, moving just fast enough to still call it moving.
When mom and dad ask us "What are going to do with your life?" they ask with a lot of worried expectation.
Why are we here? Is there life on other planets? Where do we go when we die?
Ah, to be a college loan officer -- like Ellen Frishberg, head of Johns Hopkins's financial aid office. She received more than $60,000 in tuition and "consulting fees" from Student Loan Xpress.
Students, if you live on campus, and you use a computer, be prepared for this letter, which will read in part:
I've seen it; I've done it. Tounge-tied at the bar, stuttering, hands wet, knees weak. "So, uh, yeah, you said you were from Kansas, huh? Cool. So what's the deal with Kansas City being in two states?"
Politicians forever redefine reality. With help from the media they rewrite political labels, platforms, identities and issues, and they keep us off balance with a deluge of misinformation. We can't make sense of the world when think outside their parameters.
We need a break. Two months of bar crawls and bong hits have taken their toll. We need a rest, a little time away to recharge and refocus.
I intended this column to be a rant. I was incredulous. Karl Marx was one of the most influential thinkers of the last two centuries.
He was the son of a Founding Father, a general in the Indian Wars and in the War of 1812, Governor of the Indian Territory and a Representative and later a Senator from Ohio. And on a March morning in 1841, in our nation's capital, William Henry Harrison was inaugurated "ninth President of these United States!"
'Penn, we've been looking over your College Sustainability Report Card. While you did well."
Saturday night, Penn Athletics tried something new. St. Joe's was coming to the Palestra - and they brought everybody.
Remember this day? Freshman year - you just finished your last exam and now it's Christmas break. Tonight you get to go home, maybe for the first time since you got to Penn. Tonight you get to eat well. Tonight you get to sleep in your bed. Tonight you get to see mom and dad.
Defending clubs
The flyer was dusty and wrinkled when I found it in the archives, but I still got goose bumps. "SIT-IN!" it cried. "CONTROL THE UNIVERSITY DON'T LET IT CONTROL YOU!"
Stunned. I was absolutely stunned that they even let us touch the damn thing. We were eight totally clueless beginners and it was _25,000 boat. But all they said was, "Okay, can we get bow pair to row and to take us out?"
Hey Day is on the ropes. Penn's administration has made it clear that if the two-year-old "Hey Deja vu" -- where the seniors pelt the juniors with whatever's handy -- isn't curtailed, Hey Day will cease to be. Since I'm a junior, and given that I don't particularly like being struck with blunt objects, I hope the seniors tone it down.
It's Friday of Spring Fling, and I'm almost through the Lower Quadrangle security checkpoint when I'm stopped dead by the words, "What's that in your coat?" What was in my coat pocket was not, contrary to what you would assume, hidden alcohol, but an unopened 24-oz. bottle of zero-proof Poland Spring water. I was informed that I couldn't bring my water into the Quad, no matter how obvious it was to God and all the world that it wasn't booze.
Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt are making headlines all over the world by claiming in a paper that the so-called Israel lobby skews American foreign policy so excessively in favor of Israel that it hurts the interests of U.S. citizens. And Penn's own Francisco Gil-White, Psychology professor and ethnic-conflict specialist, jumped into into the fray by publishing a reply in Israel National News.
