Though the record shows that the No. 14 Quakers have only beaten the No. 7 Tigers once since 1990, in reality, the gap between the two teams has never been closer than it will be when they face off at Franklin Field this Saturday.

What stats signal a good Ivy baseball season? After comparing American League and Ancient Eight statistics, the numbers really don’t lie after all.

For the Red and Blue, the daily grind of the baseball season starts now as the Quakers will play George Washington in two doubleheaders this weekend.

After a rough start to the season, the Quakers will have their first games at Penn Park and hope to continue the trend of doing well on their home turf.

Penn will head to Kingmill, Va., to play in the C&F Bank Intercollegiate on Sunday. They will be competing against women’s golf teams from across the nation, and they’re chomping at the bit to do so.

Janelle Monae is the first of three artists to be announced for Penn’s annual Spring Fling concert. Monae marks a turn from the electronic genre of last year’s Fling. She is known for her debut album The ArchAndroid, which earned her a nomination for best contemporary R&B album at the Grammys in 2011.

Politics today is riddled with stories of candidates rising from the one-bedroom log cabin to the political stratosphere. Yet rarely have I come across a candidate quite like Williams, a man who, for nine months, had to plea for money, search for food — often in trash cans — and find a warm place to sleep.

Our constant consumption on and multitasking across various technologies may actually be training our brains to focus for smaller increments of time, which further decreases our ability to efficiently complete our work.

Opposing so strongly the invitation of an elected official because they feel that he is a dictator unfortunately gives me the impression that they have allowed personal opinions to cloud better judgment.

The events surrounding the cancelation of Modi’s invitation were not an inhibition of speech, but the product of dynamic free speech of private individuals without government intervention. Even if you disagree with the outcome, this was free speech in action.

The tension was palpable Wednesday night as around 200 West Philadelphia residents gathered for a meeting about the city’s property tax overhaul.

Penn’s name attached to Modi would have granted him all of the legitimacy that comes with that name, and his cancellation is potentially a huge blow to his political ambitions.

Unfortunately, The Daily Pennsylvanian has revealed its severe miscomprehension of this very basic point and, in fact, has worried us with the very serious prospect of our suppressed speech.

Agreeing to speak at Penn was a political move for Modi — it would have assisted him in obtaining legitimacy for his “developmental” agenda, while simultaneously erasing his involvement with the Godhra riots.

I am dismayed by the lack of critical thinking evinced in The Daily Pennsylvanian’s editorial, which drew a specious analogy between what Narendra Modi’s keynote at the Wharton India Economic Forum could have been and what Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s 2007 speech at Columbia was.

Unlike the opposition to the BDS conference, the motivation behind the anti-Modi campaign had little (if anything) to do with the substance of what Modi planned to say.

As members of the Penn faculty, we have shared our views on the mishandling of Modi’s invitation and are gratified that students at Penn rightly perceive this kerfuffle singularly as a matter of free speech.
