With the game scoreless, Penn started to move the ball up the court, lookin to take an early lead over its heavily-favored opponent. But just as freshman guard Darren Smith reached halfcourt, Texas A&M;'s Acie Law picked his pocket and dribbled the ball the other way, capping off the breakaway with a pretty finger roll to give the Aggies a lead that they would never come close to relinquishing.

Amid multiple eruptions of applause, criminal lawyer Alan Dershowitz kept hundreds of audience members on the edge of their seats last evening during his lecture, "Global Terrorism: The New World War."

LEXINGTON, Ky. Two years ago, there would have been no "Sugarlips." The chorus of teammates would not be heckling Stephen Danley as he conducted an interview after the selection show.

Penn students may not exactly be descending upon Lexington in droves, but there's no doubt that they are still devoted to their Quakers.

At a Quakers softball game, there is one thing to expect: lots of offense. In yesterday's doubleheader against Delaware, that was exactly what the crowd got. "When we had runners on, we were coming up with the clutch hit," coach Leslie King said. In both games the offense erupted in the sixth inning, which led to two comeback wins, 6-4 and 5-4.

As Becca Edwards walked off Franklin Field last night, she was greeted with a cardboard sign that read "Show them who's boss." Can't say she didn't listen. Edwards scored three goals to lead No. 16 Penn to a cathartic and surprisingly easy 13-6 romp over Delaware.

In a city covered with over 2,700 murals, Penn's walls remain strikingly blank. So earlier this year, City Planning professor Amy Hillier proposed painting a mural to honor W.E.B.

Few people would guess that a Harvard professor and renowned physician would have much of a sense-of-humor - that is, until they meet Paul Farmer. From lightly asking permission from SAS Dean Rebecca Bushnell and College Dean Dennis DeTurck to telling anecdotes to remarking on a patient recovering from malnutrition having to do sit-ups after gaining back a lot of weight, Farmer infused his informative lecture with humour before a packed Irvine Auditorium yesterday afternoon.

LEXINGTON, Ky., March 14 - With Stephen Danley's status for today's game still up in the air, Quakers coach Glen Miller said yesterday he's "optimistic" about the big man's return to the lineup.

Parents love to see their children succeed, but they love it a little less when those children succeed at their expense.
