Editorial | Group Study Reconsidered
(11/25/13 10:22pm)
Huntsman Hall’s Group Study Rooms, campus’ most coveted study spaces for many at Penn, have been a hot-button issue for as long as we can remember. Last week, The Daily Pennsylvanian published an article about a group advocating for GSR-booking privileges to be extended to all students in Wharton classes, and the debate was once again revived: Is the current policy discriminatory? Should all students at Penn be able to book Huntsman GSRs? Is it a Wharton-exclusive commodity already facing far greater demand than can be supplied?

Guest submission guidelines
(09/18/13 1:01am)
1. What’s the difference between a letter and a guest column? The main difference is length. Letters tend to be short, 150-250 word submissions, and are often quick responses to something in the news or something that ran recently on the opinion page. Letters generally are making quick points rather than full-fledged arguments. To get a good idea of the spirit of letters, check out letters to the editor in the New York Times, which are restricted strictly to 150 words. Guest columns, on the other hands, are longer pieces, though are limited to 700 words. Guest columns usually address a new topic that hasn’t been written about before or are long-form responses (usually in opposition) to opinion pieces that ran recently.
