Guest Column by Ernest Owens | CAPS is not the only asylum
(02/02/14 11:10pm)
Over the past few weeks, there has been a great deal of debate surrounding the need for increased mental health resources at CAPS. And while I do agree that this facility needs to be more efficient in reaching out to students who schedule appointments, I beg for everyone to look around elsewhere. No, please do not feel the need to look off campus, but take a look around your college house, cultural center and other similar places. They might be just as helpful, if not better, for you in the long run.
Letter to the Editor | Nothing to shoot about
(09/30/13 10:49pm)
When I read columnist Jeff Nadel’s op-ed in The Daily Pennsylvanian, advocating that students and faculty should be legally allowed to carry their handguns with them on campus, I was appalled. The idea is myopic in scope and puts our campus on a reckless path to a more dangerous future.

(11/02/12 4:45am)
“He liked to be called Barry back then,” my uncle told me four years ago as we discussed the campaign of then-Sen. Barack Obama. My uncle knew Barry as the man who cleaned up Roseland, a once-impoverished area that stretches between 89th and 115th streets in my hometown, Southside Chicago.

Du Bois House Council | Appreciating Du Bois as a loving home
(10/15/12 5:14am)
It takes a village, according to the Du Bois College House motto. As residents and members of the house’s council, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. The time that each of us has spent in Du Bois has been filled with loving and enriching experiences. But these experiences were not reflected in a column that College senior Aya Saed published in The Daily Pennsylvanian two weeks ago.

Ernest Owens | Confessions of an Ivy League snob
(07/19/12 1:36am)
I have a confession to make. I think going to Penn makes me more fortunate than others. Not only is it an Ivy League institution, but it is one of the best schools in the world. We produce some of the greatest scholars, advocates, doctors and businessmen ever seen.
