Guest Of A Guest Intern Poses As Adult, Exploits Penn Facebook
(04/20/10 5:07pm)
We were alerted this morning to a post on New York party/photo blog Guest of a Guest, a post which carries the title "UPenn's Drunken Festival Relieves Students' Stress." Drawing pictures from a Fling Facebook album or two, Guest of a Guest mocks the weekend's antics in the Quad and around campus. All in all, it's pretty innocuous, save for one photo with a beer bottle and some dude's head up a chick's skirt.

Reporter's Notebook: Despite similarities, Cambridge a ‘culture shock’
(04/19/10 8:34am)
I’ll admit it — I experienced a bit of a culture shock when I arrived in the United Kingdom. Everything seemed to go wrong on my first Saturday morning in my new home at the University of Cambridge. I tried to straighten my hair but only succeeded in blowing up my electrical adaptor. I attempted to get my nightly caffeine fix after dinner only to find that the coffee shops all close by 5 p.m. My new life as a posh Cambridge student didn’t seem to be going as planned.

Your Quad Fling Update
(04/07/10 4:21pm)
With little over a week until Fling (or like, two days, depending on when you decide to start celebrating), tensions have been high around the Quad gates. "Will this be the moment they start bag checks?" anxious freshmen ask themselves as they sneak in another handle for their frat/a capella group/professors.

Students craving cigars in the 1920s didn’t have to trek to a cigar shop downtown — instead they headed to the basement of Houston Hall.

Monday at noon, students may stumble upon an unusual toilet planted in front of College Hall — and, like many eye-catching displays on College Green, it’s for a good cause.

As your College Rep I will continue to work closely with the Class Board, alumni organizations, and university administrators to establish events to enhance our Senior Year experience. In this position of social programming, three initiatives that I will work to see that our board executes include hosting events where we give away free monogrammed t-shirts, water bottles, scarves, and more. I also want to make sure that we have a great Feb Club experience, which means renting out bars with drink specials that will attract a lot of seniors. Lastly, I’d like to arrange for Class Board ‘11 to start hosting holiday events (St. Patty’s Day, Halloween, Pi Day etc.). The possibilities are limitless. I am prepared to execute these tasks: in addition to finding resources for sponsorship. It’s our final lap, let’s make our Senior year experience the best it can be!
That's What Schwenk Said | Soda tax would be more than just fizz
(03/15/10 8:24am)
My name is Alyssa, and I have a problem. My beverage of choice is always Diet Coke. One friend estimated that, when not sleeping or at the gym, the probability that I have a Diet Coke in either my hand or bag is around 80 percent. (It’s probably closer to 30 to 40 percent, but there’s no denying it’s my trademark beverage.) But despite my admitted over-consumption of soda, I’m still — very tentatively — in favor of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter’s plans to levy a tax on sugary beverages.
Calling All Seniors
(01/27/10 8:17pm)
Being a second semester senior is a confusing time. We want to kick back and enjoy our last semester at Penn, but there's still all this stuff looming above our heads. Stuff like classes, extracurriculars, our inevitable entry into the real world. And to top it off, it doesn't help that Penn makes it sound like everyone else has it together besides us.
Five cars vandalized in parking lot
(01/26/10 9:23am)
A bout of vandalism and theft in a Penn parking lot last week has led to questions among students about whether the University is taking sufficient steps to protect private property.
Penn vs Sword | Drunk on bureaucracy

It’s 2010, but don’t tell our state government. Officials in Harrisburg still think it’s 1933.
Penn for Haiti
(01/19/10 10:02pm)
UPDATE: The University is no longer accepting donations to relief initiatives in Haiti in check form. The Makuu Cultural Center will be accepting cash donations throughout the semester and splitting the money between two agencies: UNICEF and the Haitian Professionals of Philadelphia.
