Joseph An | Captain (Asian) America
(04/19/12 4:00am)
Lately, the home of the Asian Arts Initiative — a building on the outskirts of Philadelphia’s Chinatown — has been attracting more passersby than usual. Those who stop in their tracks are mostly hipster types and college students. They peer through large glass windows, trying to catch a better glimpse of the walls plastered with bubblegum pink and yellow, shamelessly scribbled with Comic Sans.

Your Voice | Reacting the right way
(04/06/12 1:51am)
I thought that the article “Seniors divided over grad speaker choice” in the Wednesday, March 21 paper reflected poorly on The Daily Pennsylvanian, on the students quoted and on Penn as a whole. The article presented the perspectives of students who believed that Geoffrey Canada was a poor choice of graduation speaker, merely because they had not heard of him.

KONY 2012. The buzz seems to have disappeared as quickly as it came.
Your Voice | Geoffrey Canada is far from flawless
(03/21/12 3:02am)
The commencement speaker committee’s unquestioning view of Geoffrey Canada is disappointing. While Canada has a sterling reputation, he is not without some serious flaws. Paul Tough’s book Whatever it Takes documents Canada kicking out an entire class of middle school students for having low test scores. It is hard to see how Mr. Canada was a “huge game-changer in the field of education” for those children.
