When College sophomore Julianne LeGierse lost her dorm key five times last year, it cost her several hundred dollars and days of waiting to get replacements from Facilities Services. Julianne's then-roommate, College sophomore Alyssa Mendoza, pursued an alternative route: She visited the West Philadelphia Locksmith and bought a duplicate.

One-fifth of Wharton's sophomore class could be in serious trouble. For those of you who, like me, are not lucky enough to inhabit the hallowed halls of Huntsman or Steinberg-Dietrich, OPIM 101 (short for Operations and Information Management) is a required first-year introductory course for all Wharton students.

The Penn Cheerleading team, coached by Joe Neary, has made a nice home for itself on the track behind the Penn bench at Franklin Field. And as the team continues to grow in size and scope, there's a good chance that its appearances might not be limited solely to Penn sporting events.

After the men's soccer team's season-opening 6-2 loss to Seton Hall, coach Rudy Fuller told his team that that if they worked on their defense, everything else would fall into place.

Freshmen interested in rushing a fraternity next semester may be able to do more than get their name etched onto another paddle.

Running in a race as long as a half-marathon (a whopping 13.1 miles) requires much more than God-given athleticism and endurance. Running in a half-marathon at any kind of pace requires an intangible element. But for veteran runners like 39-year-old Chad Simpson of Virginia Beach, Va.

When Ben Kweller was picked to headline the Social Planning and Events Committee's fall concert, many Penn students had the same reaction: "Who?" Last Thursday the DP reported that only five out of 62 surveyed students were familiar with Kweller. Given his lack of popularity at Penn, Kweller is an odd choice to say the least.

This summer, a gay nurse at HUP asked me to go on a date with him. And I said yes. But we weren't interested in getting down and dirty (I'm straight, and he has standards.) We wanted to make sure we were clean. We got tested for HIV. Together, my friend and I ventured into the heart of the Gayborhood to the Washington West Project, an LGBT health clinic associated with the Mazzoni Center.

Though senior guard Brian Grandieri won't be around past the 2008-09 season, the Penn basketball team might have found the right guy to fill his shoes.
