For most Penn students, spending 15 minutes to get to and from class is pushing it. But last semester, Swarthmore junior Sven David Udekwu measured his commute in hours, not minutes. Waking up at about 9 a.m., catching a 9:10 bus to Penn and arriving almost half an hour before his 10 a.

Every day in training on the Schuylkill River, the women's rowing team passes its Saint Joseph's counterpart, quietly sizing it up. "We're trying to start a rivalry," Penn coach Mike Lane said.

And looking at the numbers, it's true that this year's tournament was disappointing, especially after two straight years with a national champion.

ST. LOUIS - Coming into this year's NCAA championships, the Penn wrestling program had a streak of at least one All-American in 11 straight years. That streak is now over. In a tournament that coach Zeke Jones called "tough," the Quakers had subpar results at this year's three-day Championship at the Scottrade Center in downtown St.

Quidditch clinic adds magic to muggles' lives on campus

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon on the high-rise fields at 40th and Walnut streets until 15 members of the Middlebury College Quidditch team pulled up in two vans.

Before too long, we won't know our way around campus at all. That's because Penn has a proud tradition of renaming anything and everything in response to large sums of money. In the latest demonstration of that tradition, Logan Hall will be re-christened (or de-christened, perhaps) Claudia Cohen Hall to honor the late ex-wife of Ronald Perelman (perhaps you've heard of his Quadrangle).
