President Amy Gutmann made a big announcement this morning, proclaiming via email that Penn "is and has always been a sanctuary" for undocumented students.

It's no secret that President-elect and Penn alum Donald Trump has a less-than-ideal stance on women's health issues. We all knew that his positions could and would affect us, our loved ones, and many people on this campus. But we didn't know it would affect the campus itself.

The last week has been a difficult one, reckoning with the results of the presidential election. Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by some 68,236 votes, less than one point according to NPR. That leaves us with plenty of questions, but we'll just ask this one: what the hell, Mark Ruffalo?

A lot is going on these days, but not all is lost. Long sleeve shirts will always be here for us, no matter who is elected president. Here's twelve long sleeve shirts that will keep you a little warm, but not super warm—for that, you'll need a jacket

We've had our calendars marked for months. November 7th, the first day of APPLE FEST. All we wanted to do was eat some "apple inspired dishes" (Question: do these dishes contain apples, or just take inspiration from them?) in the charmingly unwelcoming atmosphere of 1920 Commons.

Remember the preachers on campus last month? One was "Brother Ross," apparently born Ross Jackson, who seems to spend his days traveling from college to college, preaching hatred. From Upstate New York to the Midwest to Georgia, and probably further (we just don't want to bother sifting through his Wordpress), Brother Ross spews ugly things and seems to enjoy doing so.

Jewish holidays are like natural disasters, in that no one really understands how they work or why they exist but we all want to skip school because of them. Unfortunately we don't have school off for Yom Kippur, but that doesn't mean it's not an important day. Even secular Jews like myself are aware of this holiday's existence, and of its weight.

It's Mono Week, and you know what that means-- a lot of people have mono, or we made the week up for no good reason. Either way, mono blows.

Penn is known for a lot of things: Wharton, the Wharton School in Philadelphia, and the infamous-yet-beloved undergraduate business school Wharton. Less known, for no good reason, is Penn's strong ichthyology department.

The White House recently announced that Malia Obama will be attending Harvard in 2017, after a gap year. This is great news for nobody, because Harvard is objectively the worst Ivy and hogs all the children of presidents. But it seems like her college plans are definite, so we can't do anything. What don't seem definite, however, are Malia's plans for the gap year – so check out the suggestions we've provided below.
