In college, we’re trained to deal with big ideas and tough questions. But sometimes, the simplest lessons are key.

Thank you for everything. Your energy, attendance, and enthusiasm towards past class events are why we have so much momentum going into our final year together. In the past 3 years, we’ve done some amazing things. We’ve brought traditions to a new level with Skimmer, NSOver Again, and Econ Scream. We’ve brought exciting new ideas to life with Stephen Starr Restaurant Week, Welcome Back at Smoke’s, OCR (On Campus Relaxation), Campusfood Free 4 All, and a private screening of a new sitcom with stars from CBS television. We’ve given back to the community with 3 book drives, fundraising over $4,000 for non-profits. We’ve made popular apparel and giveaways – Harry Potter shirts, Classic Ivy Sweatshirts, Homecoming scarves, Fling sunglasses, and water bottles. Moving forward, I would love your support in re-election as we bring you Hey Day, Feb Club, and do everything possible to make these four years truly unforgettable.

Check out this gem from the 1960s, courtesy of the Digital Archives. We're using the word "gem" as loosely as possible here, because just look at this room. Just look at it! The red vinyl curtains. Those wine bottles. The Confederate flags. The PANDA? (Okay, we like the panda.) This dorm room was part of Sergeant Hall, which was built in 1900 and demolished 75 years later. Sergeant Hall who? #TeamHillHouse

Midseason Report: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
(01/13/12 5:12pm)
With 16 games down and 15 to go (and hopefully more), the DP Sports staff has compiled a collective Good, Bad & Ugly for the season thus far. Penn (7-9, 0-3 Big 5) got off to a quick 3-1 start, but since then the Quakers have dropped eight of 12. The Red and Blue are 4-5 at the Palestra and 3-4 on the road. They begin their quest for their first Ivy Title since 2007 tonight against Columbia.

Out Of The Button
(12/14/11 2:17pm)
Let's get down to business: everyone poops. Most poops are average. Unremarkable. Sometimes you take amazing poops that overwhelm you with such relief you enter a momentary state of bliss. And then...there's awful poops. Ones that make you curse yourself for eating at Chipotle. For the third time this week. Or maybe it was those two venti coffees you had this morning. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what foods actually caused those toilet travesties, so we've developed Out Of The Button: The Definitive Guide To Sourcing Your Poops to Penn Campus Eateries. Just match your poop to the pictures below and develop a roadmap of places never to frequent without a bottle of Pepto Bismol. Let's get crackin'.
