Tydings | A Homecoming to forget for Penn Athletics

By Steven Tydings · Nov. 3, 2014

Homecoming has the potential to be great for any school.

DP Reporters and Editors Meeting with Amy Gutmann
By Sophia Wushanley · Nov. 3, 2014

Although I subscribe to the belief that, in our advanced society, it’s wrong to kill animals for food, I understand that we live in a world where there are enough starving people that moral outrage on behalf of the exploited honey bee seems a little misplaced, and where the objectification of women causes enough damage that PETA’s “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” campaign makes me worry more about the state of women in our society than the state of cattle.

I don’t believe in taking this life for granted. Obsessing over what happens after death is often a disguise for obsessing over death itself, and fearing the inevitable casts a bitter and unnecessary shadow over the time we still have. Others might feel that their time on earth is spoiled by its lack of permanence; I think that makes it all the more precious.
