It’s that time of the year again. A year removed from a season that ended in an Ivy League Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth, No.

What’s the cure for a hangover? Penn basketball is in  need of some relief after following up big Friday victories on its first two Ivy weekends of the season with equally deflating losses the day after. The Quakers (7-12, 3-6 Ivy) will take a crack at finding a cure on their own floor when they host Yale and Brown for a back-to-back at the Palestra. Last Friday, the Quakers took advantage of a second-half rally to stun Cornell in Ithaca, winning, 71-69, on a floater by junior guard Tony Hicks with only four seconds left. Saturday, though, Hicks and pretty much all of his teammates — save for freshman forward Sam Jones — went MIA.

While this weekend's slate of back to back games represents the third of six consecutive Ivy doubleheaders for the Red and Blue, coach Mike McLaughlin is confident in Penn's physical and mental states, despite the loss to Cornell. "We have some kids that are banged up like every other team, but physically we're in good shape," McLaughlin said.

Is 21 the optimal drinking age? That question is a constant debate at Universities around the country and the New York Times has decided to take its hand at the debate. The Times brought six debaters in to talk about the idea of lowering the drinking age from 21 years old, with the six columns split on the subject. Author Gabrielle Glaser was one of the few that advocated for lowering it to 18 years old, mentioning how the current drinking age leads to riskier binge drinking as a more common setting. Meanwhile, multiple other columnists said to keep the national drinking age at 21 years old, citing the possible consequences of crime or increased drunk driving.Former Kenyon College President S.

We’re embarrassed to admit that we can’t handle our alcohol. No one wants to be the person who can’t go out. Nobody wants to ask for help.

Finding the "Sexual Violence Policy" is more difficult than a simple, messy Google search. Upon visiting the Provost's page — either directly or via the Office of Student Conduct’s page — for an explanation of the policy, students can be greeted with a cold "Error 404" page, with an ironically tragic subtitle: "Go Home."
