Too many turnovers on offense, poor kickoff coverage and blown coverage in the secondary amounted to what Penn coach Al Bagnoli labeled "a total team loss" on Saturday, which is a fair assessment of what happened. But the real problem with the Quakers this season - a problem that came to a head when Kyle Olson's knee gave out on him in the second quarter on Saturday - is the lack of a steady option at quarterback.

Engineering students interested in research now have an opportunity to look beyond the classroom. The Rachleff Scholars Program, established this fall by a gift from Penn trustee Andrew Rachleff, aims to create a "scholarly community" in the School of Engineering, said Electrical and Systems Engineering professor Jan Van der Spiegel, who is also the director of the program.

Penn's efforts to spruce up the west end of campus may have been a little too successful. The increasingly attractive 40th Street corridor has drawn more business to the area. But it's also drawn larger crowds, both from Penn and the surrounding community.

With the decisive fifth set deadlocked at 14, Penn libero Madison Wojchiechowski watched Cornell's hottest hitter, Meagan Tatum, reach high and deliver a hard strike across the court.

Not every Penn student is getting out the vote tomorrow. Beyond those who can't vote because they are too young or not a U.S. citizen, some are abstaining from exercising their right to vote on election day. For some, like Tony Wang, not voting is a means of making a statement about the election process.

The phrase "adding insult to injury" was never more appropriate. After seeing its quarterback go down with what could be a season-ending knee injury, Penn saw its Ivy title hopes follow suit - the Quakers fell 34-27 at Franklin Field to Brown, which now has sole possession of first place in the conference.

Jack Wagner's work as Auditor General earns him another term. The incumbent is best known for his audit of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, which exposed massive amounts of wasteful spending by the organization and led to much-needed reforms.

Alumni flooded campus for Homecoming this weekend, and the annual event was particularly sweet for the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau. The Theta Chapter of ZBT celebrated its 100th anniversary this weekend and honored Trustee Emeritus and '45 alumnus Leonard Malmud for his service to the fraternity.

For five years, the men's soccer team had been humiliated time and time again by Brown, going winless while failing to score in the process. But at Rhodes Field on Saturday, the Quakers returned the favor. Led by two goals from Omid Shokoufandeh, the Quakers beat the Bears, 4-0, in an unexpectedly one-sided affair that propelled them into a tie for first place.

The executive committee of the Student Activities Council elected College junior Natalie Vernon as its new chairwoman last week. Vernon will replace former SAC chairman Eric Van Nostrand, a Wharton and Engineering senior. Vernon and Van Nostrand sat down with the DP yesterday to talk about SAC's successes from this year and goals for next year.

In what is sure to be a Democratic year, we hope voters won't reject Tom Corbett because of his Republican label. This incumbent has done a great job these past four years fighting gun violence, protecting the elderly from fraud, and cracking down on child predators.

The presidential election isn't until tomorrow, but Penn students have already decided they want Barack Obama to be their beer-pong-champion-in-chief. Nearly 70 percent of students, according to a new poll conducted by The Daily Pennsylvanian, would rather have a beer with Democratic nominee Barack Obama than with Republican nominee John McCain.
