The deadline for On-Campus Recruitment resume submissions is tomorrow, and everyone wants to look good on paper. But a killer resume can only get applicants so far - the recruitment process has made its way to the Web as well. "Employers who recruit at Penn are searching Facebook and they're googling candidates," Director of Career Services Patricia Rose said in an online podcast located on the Career Services Web site.

For many in the Penn community, yesterday's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday was not simply a day off from classes - it was a chance to reflect on the life of a hero and to live out his message of social justice.

In light of last year's 15-percent rise in general theft on and near campus, the Division of Public Safety is focusing its efforts on the problem, a move that could lead to decreases in total crime.

It's usually around 2 a.m. when the editors at The Daily Pennsylvanian pick up the phone to call the printers. For the three or four editors still at the office, the 15 minutes waiting for the confirmation call are spent uploading Internet content and cleaning the office. When the call finally comes, the office clears out and the DP turns off its lights. For the printers, however, the night has only just begun.

The crime cycle often begins with an unfinished education and chronic unemployment and ends with a prison sentence. Then the cycle begins again, as getting hired with a criminal record is nearly impossible. But increasingly, governments, schools and businesses are providing opportunities for ex-offenders to break this cycle with education and employment.

Patients almost always assume that their doctors are prescribing medicine proven to treat their ailments. However, that's not always the case.

When Roberts Proton Therapy Center opens in fall 2009, it will bring to Penn a type of facility that has attracted attention for both its effectiveness and high price.

After counseling teenagers in Belize and promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in Malawi, Peace Corps volunteers are getting a little help themselves.

In fact, the frats have so much free food this week that many students have decided there's no need to spend their own money on dinner. Why pay for a meal when every fraternity on campus is filled with tables loaded with the very finest fast food Philly has to offer, free of charge? That seems to be the question for many boys this January.
