It's needless to say that the first meeting between Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers High Schools was a big game for the players on both sides - the schools were combined as one just a year before. And incoming freshmen football players and twins Nate and Josh Powers teamed up to leave their mark on the game.


Eber Devine, accused of sexually harassing a woman in Van Pelt Library, has had many previous encounters with the law throughout his lifetime, including various instances at Penn.

Good news, Quakers fans: the next Matt Valenti may be just around the corner. Zack Kemmerer has built a name for himself in his own right and will likely continue to do so.

But that could be how Penn will end up filling the men's golf coaching position, left vacant after Rob Powelson resigned in late June.



Groundbreaking for new residential facility

Soon, students won't have to even leave their homes to get their favorite brand of coffee when the construction on the 3900 block of Walnut Street is complete.

Living in an urban setting means realizing that crimes can occur and taking the proper precautions - don't travel alone in dark alleyways late at night comes to mind. But Locust Walk doesn't exactly spring to mind when thinking of dark alleys.
