The finale of the squash season is upon us as No. 8 Penn prepares for the CSA team championships this weekend. The Quakers will be challenged right off the bat with a first round match Friday against No. 1 Trinity, who defeated Penn 8-1 in January.
For a Penn squash program anticipating a major postseason, it’s the last chance to tune up.
The core of No. 6 Penn men’s fencing can be traced back to a childhood bond formed across the country nearly a decade ago. Jake Raynis and Justin Yoo, both epee fencers from California, have been instrumental in Penn’s success both this year and last. Imagining this team without either of these two seems odd, but it was almost a reality.
How do you come back from a loss to the nation’s top-ranked team and your primary rival? Three wins in the next three days seems as good a place to start as any.
On Wednesday, No. 6 Penn men’s squash will visit No. 9 Drexel in a battle for the title of Philadelphia’s best squad. Over the years Penn has been the better of the two rivals, but captain BG Lemmon knows that those results mean nothing going into Wednesday’s contest.
This Saturday the Penn men’s and women’s swim teams each captured victories against Villanova on the road. The men’s team (2-1) easily handled the Wildcats (1-2), defeating them 176.5-118.5 and winning 10 events.
Home is where the wins are.
In the days following the publication of the article, in which the plans to euthanize the red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) at the BioPond were discussed, we heard from some thoughtful and concerned individuals who wanted to help us as we continued to search for alternative options for the turtles. As mentioned in the article, the plans were not yet final, and the Garden Committee and garden staff were continuing to investigate other options to rehouse these turtles in a safe, and secure area. We are now excited to announce that through a partnership with professor Scott McRobert, from St. Joseph’s University, we will be able to rehouse the turtles into new ponds in the tristate area. With Dr. McRobert’s assistance we have been able to identify new homes, and will be relocating the turtles as we drain the pond later this season to repair the aeration system. The turtles will all be moving to healthy artificial ponds that are not connected to, or near, natural water systems (to prevent them from escaping into the wild), and that are not already populated with native turtles. This was no easy task to relocate the estimated 75 turtles that currently are overpopulating the BioPond, and we are very grateful for all the hard work Dr. McRobert has been putting into this over the past couple of days.
Penn sprint football wrapped up its fourth consecutive win to start the season this past weekend to head into an bye week still undefeated.
Penn student groups frequently offer to broaden the perspective of the student body through speaker events, but few do so by inviting ex-convicts, aspiring comedians and neuroscientists onto the stage.
Amid a myriad of cinematic superstars, respected directors and critically acclaimed films, two Penn alumni look to add a few Oscars to their trophy cases at this year’s 88th annual Academy Awards.
The average endowment return of 812 U.S. schools fell by over 13 percent between 2014 and 2015.
As former leaders of the College Republicans here at Penn, we would like to express our utter dismay at the position that the recent College Republicans article took on the issue of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Not only was the implicit comparison between serving neo-Nazis and gay couples grossly inappropriate, but also the entire theme of the article was antithetical to what had formerly been the creed of the organization on Penn’s campus.
This past year, we were excited to lead a campus that was named the best college nationwide by USA Today and, of course, No. 1 Party School by Playboy Magazine. Being good student advocates, we’d like to take credit for that. We can’t, of course. In reality, our role is much more quiet, and our best work is much more slow.
As the past President of Penn Hillel and a proud Penn alum, I was embarrassed by the Daily Pennsylvanian’s coverage of the Students for Justice in Palestine meeting (“Palestinian University Students tell Penn peers, ‘We are Violated’, 11/19). While it is shameful enough that at such a distinguished university, students would be subjected to one-sided, hateful speech at an event like this, I would have expected the DP to make the effort to properly educate its readership on the controversial remarks spoken.
As a member of the board of College Republicans, the most recent column piece was published in my name, and I stand by the message the piece attempted to convey. I think, however, the important issues brought up in the article were unfortunately overshadowed by the overtly partisan tone used to deliver its message. In that respect, the article was not trendsetting, but rather it was symptomatic of the general state of American politics.
If you’re a new student on campus, welcome to Penn! If you’re a returning upperclassman, welcome back! We hope the first few days of classes have been great for everyone. As everyone gets ready for the new school year, we can’t wait to continue and put into practice the projects the UA has been working on over the summer.
