Few organizations can make education in financial literacy fun. But Wharton Women, the largest, paid-member student group on campus, readily took on the challenge.
With a notorious history defined by centuries-old Ivy League rivalries, a fraternity motorcade, a Louis Armstrong concert and a student riot, it’s no wonder Skimmerfest has drawn such a crowd since the reboot of the old tradition.
I read with interest about the installation of water bottle filling stations at Wharton. While I certainly applaud the notion of reducing waste and the unnecessary expense of bottled water, I must point out that the need to consume large volumes of water each day is without any particular health benefit and need not be officially encouraged.
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.
Wharton sophomore Tania Chairez and other undocumented student activists pressing for the DREAM Act deserve our support. Their courage strengthens democratic practices within the borders of the United States. Those of us who value our inclusive society want to ensure that kind, decent people do not live in fear. No middle schooler growing up in the United States should be forced to realize that she has inherited an outsider status that separates her from the only national community she knows, as Tania has described. Our educational institutions are impoverished when inherited hierarchies divide students from one another and our neighborhoods are culturally depleted when some live in fear of being “denounced” as outsiders. People who contribute to the places in which they live, work and study are not outsiders. Passing the DREAM Act is only one step toward meaningful immigration reform, but it’s a step the country should take.
