Citing "egregious violations" of the public trust, Common Cause President and Chief Executive Officer Chellie Pingree addressed about 15 law students and Philadelphia residents yesterday on last year's Medicare reform bill.
When walking into Graduate School of Education professor Richard Ingersoll's office, the first thing that catches the eye is a well-displayed bulletin board covered with colorful children's drawings.
Last weekend, I was in Montreal for a Model U.N. conference, and I have to say, it's like a whole other country. Seriously, I've been to Canada before, and while Toronto seemed like just a cleaner version of Chicago, the differences between the States and Quebec are striking. While Montreal is a charmingly frosty city (at least in mid-January), its culture -- not to mention language -- is not that of the Canada I had known. So clearly, my visit to Montreal makes me think of Iraq.
When College alumnus Tony Peebles walked into "Jazz Improvisation" his freshman year, he didn't think much about the professor at the front of the room.
Of all the forms of inequality, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane." These days, the legacy of the civil rights movement indeed finds its strange manifestation in the fight for affordable health care.
After beating Franklin & Marshall, 9-0, and losing only one game in the match, it would seem that the Penn women's squash players could not have done better yesterday against Haverford.
There are three groups of people on the road. When an ambulance approaches, some drivers quickly pull aside to let it pass. Others -- either because they blatantly disregard the emergency siren or because their reaction time is slow -- don't change speed or direction.
"Very fast, very explosive, and very good," are the words Penn coach Al Bagnoli chose to describe Harvard running back Clifton Dawson.
The saga of the Penn graduate who lied his way to journalistic stardom has finally made its way from print to film.
National Coming Out Day came to Penn a bit early this year, but was complete with appearances by an Olympic swimmer and Wharton professors in drag.

It's been said that time gives perspective, and last night, Canada's first female prime minister, Kim Campbell, shared some of hers with students and faculty in a talk titled "Leading as a Woman -- What I Wish I'd Known Then."

In late July, when tabloid mainstay Liza Minnelli announced that her heavily publicized marriage to entertainment promoter David Gest was ending, few, if any, were surprised. More seemed relieved that this shaky "house of cards" was finally going to obey the inevitable laws of gravity and topple. From the wild stories surrounding their $4 million wedding to the surreally goofy photos featuring a wack-job lineup including Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor, little appeared everlasting or even logical about this coupling.
Sometime in the late first century, Christianity was founded. When Penn plays Duquesne tomorrow night, Christianity will be put to its biggest test since the Devil tempted Jesus in about 32 A.D. Alright, maybe it's not that important of a game. Maybe it's merely a football game against a Catholic school, and it has nothing to do with religion. Interestingly, however, Duquesne is run by the Holy Ghost Order of Priests, and so for this week's prediction we PrognostiQuakers decided to go right to the source. Something tells us, however, that Mr. Ghost wouldn't have the time to talk to us. And even if he did, it would be in tongues (of fire) and we wouldn't be able to understand it. We still tried, though. We called Harvey Ghost Keeper of Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada -- if he had the Ghost, we could probably talk to him -- but we were told that he "wasn't there at the moment." We had another connection to the Holy Ghost, though. The HQ of the Holy Ghost fathers is about a mile outside Philadelphia. So, a phone call and several strange explanations later, we had a priest on the line ready to tell us who would win. "Well, I think Duquesne is a good team, but Penn will probably win," the priest -- who wished to remain anonymous, fearful of the Holy Ghost's wrath, apparently -- said. "The Penn players are just a little smarter." Amen to that, Father.
