"Timeout, timeout, a media timeout." Ever wonder who is behind the mic at the Palestra? Now's your chance to find out about the mysterious character.

Saying that Thai Singha House is at the same level as its local Thai cuisine peers isn't a dig; considering the quality of Thai cuisine around campus, it's a good find like any of the others. The establishment gets high marks for service - fast, personable, and easy on large groups and small couples alike.

Wharton undergraduate Irina Malinovskaya still remains in limbo as the jury failed to reach a verdict on the fourth day of deliberations. Malinovskaya is accused of bludgeoning to death Temple University graduate student Irina Zlotnikov, the girlfriend of the accused's former boyfriend, Robert Bondar, on Dec.

After taking a helmet to his elbow during the second quarter against Brown on Saturday, running back Joe Sandberg felt some numbness. He then sat out the entire second half. But did he have to? "We were worried and they don't have X-ray facilities [at Brown]," Penn coach Al Bagnoli said.

You know those guys walking around campus with yarmulkes and those girls in the absurdly long skirts? For still-confused freshmen not hailing from New York, we're called Orthodox Jews.

Upon entering El Vez, one of the first things to catch the eye is a glittering low-rider bicycle slowly rotating above the bar.

Bill Belichick and the blowout-happy New England Patriots just might be the villains of the year in the NFL, but things are different in college. College football, put on display by amateur athletes on hundreds of teams around the country.
