A snub for the homeless

(02/15/05 10:00am)

The University City Hospitality Coalition started in 1984 in response to the death of a homeless man by the name of Stanley Biddle, who froze to death after falling asleep outside on Penn's campus. Now it is a federally recognized non-profit that serves five hot meals a week on and near the University's campus. Some of their funding comes from private and church donations, and they get some supplies from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's surplus food program.


LETTER: Silent Minority

(10/28/92 10:00am)

To the Editor: Yes, it certainly does. Is that necessarily accurate? No, not in any way, shape or form. Believe it or not, there are some Republicans on campus. If you look hard enough, you will find some Bush '92 signs. There were more before they were vandalized or taken down, like the College Republican's sign on Locust Walk. Behind closed doors, many people here offer very conservative views, but most of them are afraid to voice them due to the liberal majority. By Hackney publicly supporting Bill Clinton, he only increases the hesitancy of the minority to speak their minds. Hackney needs to ensure this is a place where people can voice their opinions and not fear being lynched. Hackney seriously failed in his duty to the students of Penn when he openly advocated a Presidential candidate. SCOTT RIBBLE Engineering '96
