After months of hard work, the Panhellenic Council’s dream of providing warm winter coats to West Philadelphia school children has become a reality.
Guys, stop emailing us with questions about what next year's academic theme is going to be. It's not that we didn't want to tell you - we just didn't know. But now we do. Penn has decided that next year's academic theme is going to be...everybody drum on your thighs for a minute...water!
Penn Engineers Without Borders dropped their textbooks and got funky for a good cause this weekend.
Oh, Taek Jho Low. We hardly knew you. Well, we actually didn't know you at all, since you graduated from Penn in 2004. But that doesn't matter, because you are the latest Penn alum to gain notoriety for your ridiculously excessive ways. Congratulations!
A student on the run might not have the patience to wait for water to filter before filling a reusable bottle, but two recent alumni have designed a solution.
Sometimes we want something with bread, cheese, tomato sauce, and a variety of possible toppings, but we don't want it to be in the form of a pizza. Until recently, there was nothing we could do to satisfy that craving!
Last week the DP was all, "Yo, some kids got the swine flu." And we were all, "Ew. Even though the swine flu vaccine doesn't drop till mid-October, we should probably protect ourselves against the regular flu, since it's equally as gross." And our mom was like, "Duh. Sign up here ASAP."
Written on the inside label of the coats Operation Warm distributes to children across the nation is one word that encapsulates the organization's message: "Achieve."
I’ve come to expect three things at Penn sporting events: a halftime show from the band that’s equal parts amusing and confusing; the announcement of attendance figures that would make the Iranian election commission blush; and nothing but effusive praise from any opposing coach talking about the Quakers.
For the last several years, Penn has made a concerted effort to be a more sustainable campus. While this often takes the form of abstract, macro-level goals, two large, laudable announcements made recently will have a tangible effect on students’ lives: the switch to Bon Appetit Management Company in the dining halls and the choice to use graduation gowns made from recycled materials.
When the class of 2010 enters Franklin Field in the spring for their commencement ceremony, they will be surrounded by about 57,500 recycled plastic bottles - or at least caps and gowns made from them.
Provost Vincent Price became the first interim provost in University history to permanently fill the position when he officially assumed office July 1. He replaced former Provost Ron Daniels, who left Penn last winter to serve as president of Johns Hopkins University. After his first summer on the job, Price, a Communication professor, talked about his time so far and his plans for the future.
Come next May, Franklin Field will be filled with approximately 35,000 discarded plastic bottles. No, it's not becoming a temporary landfill. Instead, outgoing seniors will be the first class to graduate in 100% eco-friendly garb.
We've mourned the death of Transit and tweeted about the alleged Level closing. So where, oh where, will NSO revelers...revel? Not at Lounge 125, as that has apparently also closed. But there's word that a new club is taking up residence in their Old City space. The precociously named Recess is set to open on September 12th, which makes us wonder if any of Penn's enterprising young promoters will try to secure it for an NSO soft launch.
We've heard word that some folks from Crystal Light (you know, the low-calorie fake juice/tea/etc. company?) will be cruising around Philadelphia in colorful convertibles today giving away free bottles of water and Crystal Light. We also have it on good authority that one of their stops is going to be somewhere on Penn's campus, some time between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. While we're not so much about the shameless product promotion (or are we?), they claim that their goal is to challenge people to drink more water by using "refreshing and flavorful Crystal Light," and we're all about staying hydrated.
The conventional formula for a senior goodbye piece (whether it takes the form of a DP column or a commencement speech) goes something like this:
Struggling to pass the time in your classes? We feel the same way, which is why we're super thankful for a new marketing ploy from Wawa. On DressYourBottle.com, you can clothe and accessorize bottles of Wawa's drinks, and then post your results to Facebook. It's quite the elaborate promotion for Wawa's 99-cent drink special, but we don't mind. It's far better than actually paying attention.
Over 70 degrees and sunny - students could not have asked for better weather as they celebrated this year's Spring Fling.
Spring Fling is overrated.
I had never been in a Penn sports team's locker room until last week. That's when I stepped inside the red, University-owned van that pulled up at 39th and Spruce streets.
