It does not follow that UPenn Alerts adds and accommodates 24,806 students during the fall and spring semesters, yet cannot accommodate a much smaller group that attends classes and works during summer. Why can’t a system which allows staff and faculty to opt out of receiving the messages do the same for students? How is it that a system whose technology doesn’t allow students to opt in conveniently allows a single student from the SP to be added?
It seems that the only successful way to profit off this new paradigm is the “freemium” model, in which you have the option to pay for quality. It’s a natural solution which allows customers to pay what they want. But for this model to be successful and to change what the value of music is, we need to have a discussion about what the value of music should be.
When I read that Kate Bolick’s book “Spinster: Making a Life of One’s Own” was akin to Betty Friedan’s “Feminine Mystique” in its transformational and generation-defining significance, I immediately picked up a copy. Unfortunately, I was immediately disappointed.

Last season was filled with unfulfilled expectations for both Penn men’s and women’s soccer. However, any disappointing season is partially redeemed by the fact that another lies right around the corner.
One vacancy filled, one to go. Five weeks after women's rowing coach Mike Lane's contract was not renewed, Penn Athletics announced Monday that it has hired former Trinity coach Wesley Ng to take the program's helm.
Even though the start of Penn’s fall semester is weeks away, students are already gearing up for the popular Made in America music festival, whose lineup has just been released.
Philadelphia has once again been chosen to hold an organization’s biggest event of the year — and its theme reflects some of the most prominent movements on Penn’s campus this year.
From August 2 to August 14, Philadelphia’s Center City District will be hosting its biannual Restaurant Week — an event that usually occurs at the end of September.
In the first 100 days since its opening on March 10th, each of Penn’s schools held its own event at the Center, and invited researchers and faculty from institutions around China.

Contrary to the country’s referendum results, Penn students from Greece that The Daily Pennsylvanian interviewed overwhelmingly supported accepting the creditors’ offer.
It's an inconvenient truth: Penn baseball lost one of its best senior classes in history. Last year, the Quakers had three members of the Class of 2015 hit over .300.
