BRIEF: Seniors celebrate final semester

Senior Class President Brandt McKee said yesterday he hoped the week of parties will encourage seniors to get inolved during their last semester on campus. "It's the first week of school, where people rarely take classes seriously," said McKee, a Wharton senior. "And we figured this was a good opportunity to get people excited about the last semester of their college career." The screamers will feature the following specials at local bars: Monday -- Smokey Joe's, Karaoke and pitcher specials; Tuesday -- The Irish Pub at 21st and Walnut streets, Rolling Rock specials; Wednesday -- Campus Crawl; Thursday -- Cavanaugh's, Burst Your Bladder; Friday -- Relive freshman year at happy hour at different locations; Saturday -- Market Street Live, half-price cover charge between 8 and 9 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's screamers begin at 9 p.m., Thursday's at 10 p.m., and Friday's at 5 p.m. Students must have a Penn Card and a 21 I.D. to participate in the events. -- Gayle Meyers
