Yesterday, representatives of each fraternity and sorority at Penn put their Ivy League educations to the test. This year's Academic Bowl - which celebrated the culmination of Greek Week - challenged each team's knowledge of Penn, pop culture and politics.

The gossip Web site Juicy Campus maintains that it has not violated any laws, despite allegations of consumer fraud from law-enforcement officials in two states.

I was sitting in Van Pelt the other day when I noticed the girl in front of me procrastinating on Facebook, looking at photo albums. Pretty normal and I usually wouldn't give it a second thought, except she was looking at pictures of me in a friend's photo album.

Midway through yesterday afternoon at Meiklejohn Stadium, the Penn baseball team was staring a completely fruitless weekend dead in the face. Having lost and tied in their two Saturday games against Yale - the nightcap was suspended due to darkness in extra innings - the Quakers had started off the Sunday twinbill with yet another loss to Brown.

This early in the season, the mound is no place for freshmen. Tell that to the trio of young right-handers who stifled Penn's opponents this weekend.

For the women's golf team, 13 days is all it takes to finish the spring season. The Quakers tee off at the Hoya Invitational today - just one week after their opener - for their last tournament before Ivy Championships. "Several Ivy League schools competing so it will be a nice gauge for us to see where we are and what we've done with our spring break," coach Francis Vaughn said - although he said the same thing before last weekend's First Market Bank Invitational, at which his squad finished 17th out of 20.

Cornell midfielder John Glynn won the opening faceoff, weaved through the Penn defense and found teammate Ryan Hurley wide open in front of the net. Hurley shot and scored.

The defending Ivy League champion women's tennis took the first step in re-asserting itself atop the Ancient Eight on Saturday. The No. 72 Quakers used a complete team effort - each woman who played won at least one match, either in singles or doubles - to knock off No.

They used to hold parties in the basement of the ARCH, plastering newspapers over the windows to protect the anonymity of the attendees. But for the current Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender community on campus, these carefully guarded gatherings are a thing of the past.

Films at this year's Greater Philadelphia Student Film Festival ranged from the frivolous and fun ballad of a hot air balloon spy to the weighty and grave story of a transsexual Drexel student switching genders.
