Several Nursing students may be traveling to rural areas in Honduras - but that won't stop them from blogging about it. As part of the Nursing course, Infant and Maternal Care in the Americas, nine Nursing undergraduate and graduate students will help out in underserved communities in Honduras to improve health care, particularly in midwifery, for two weeks this May.

The flat-screen television flashing with vivid images of superheroes and Charlie Brown seemed out of place at the time-worn Kelly Writers House last night as Pulitzer Prize-winning artist and author of Maus Art Spiegelman presented "Comix 101." The presentation was a condensed history of comic-book evolution intertwined with his personal experience writing graphic novels.

Junior co-captain Craig Andrzejewski has a brother on a professional lacrosse team, but he's not letting that overshadow his own accomplishments: Craig is making a name for himself as the Quakers' offensive leader. After his brother D.J. departed for the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse following the 2005-06 season, Andrzejewski (pronounced andrew-JEFF-ski) assumed a starting role.

Last Monday, Karl Rove addressed students at Connecticut preparatory school Choate Rosemary Hall, in a lecture setting. Rove had originally been penciled in as Choate's commencement speaker but accepted the less glamorous engagement after a swell of student and parental protest.

It's no secret that the top summer internships are often unpaid. But what's less known is that many students must pay their universities to receive the academic credit that some employers - wary of labor laws governing unpaid internships-require as a condition of the job.

When your team is a double-digit underdog, allowing Saint Joseph's to shoot 63 percent from the field and letting Pat Calathes and Darrin Govens drop 26 apiece isn't exactly a winning prescription. But then again, La Salle coach John Giannini is the one with a Ph.

If you're looking to get out of the city for a bit and you're ready for a little adventure, Max and David's in Elkins Park, Pa. is just the place for you. Not only is this newly opened BYO kosher - a perk for those like me, who keep these strict dietary regulations - but it is also a culinary experience you will likely not forget.

Penn students like green, and they're not waiting until incoming students get here to spread the message. Members of the Undergraduate Assembly passed a proposal last Sunday evening supporting the creation of an environmentally themed pre-orientation program.

When Wharton sophomore Dennie Zastrow was applying to Penn, his parents encouraged him to select Wharton to boost his chances of finding a good job. Two years later, it's that career-minded focus that's driving him to get out. Zastrow, who is currently trying to transfer into the College, said he was turned off by Wharton's emphasis on finding the right internships and jobs as early as freshman year.

When I made my reservations at Fork, I was a little wary. While I had heard only good things about the downtown eatery, all of that positive press came from my female friends. Fear gripped me on the cab ride. Could the chefs there serve up a man's meal? Would I be surrounded by roundtables of 30-something-year-old single women? Was a Big Mac combo soon to follow my dinner? Needless to say, my questions were answered by the sumptuous food and warm yet serious ambiance.

Akhen Wilson, 29, of the 6200 block of Osage St., was arrested by Penn Police for allegedly assaulting two Penn Police officers during a motor-vehicle stop Saturday evening, according to Sgt. Charles Layton of the Philadelphia Police. The assault took place on the 3700 block of Chestnut St.

Penn began piloting an electronic-key system in Gregory College House in 2002 - but there are still no plans to expand the program, despite attention on dorm safety following a rash of burglaries in Harnwell College House over Thanksgiving break. In Gregory's Class of 1925 building, residents must swipe their PennCards and punch in their PIN in order to enter individual rooms, not just the main building.

Located at the corner of 12th and Filbert in Center City, Maggiano's Little Italy offers a taste of great Italian cuisine. This restaurant is a great place to dine whether it is to celebrate an anniversary, to unwind with a big group of friends, or to eat dinner with visiting family, including younger siblings.

An amendment to the Higher Education Act, which was recently passed by the House of Representatives, aims to reduce illegal file-sharing on college networks. Universities are now required to make their policies on illegal downloading publicly available, develop a plan for offering alternatives to illegal file-sharing and explore technology that would prevent illegal downloading.

Neither the change of venue nor long lines could deter the approximately 600 spectators who gathered to hear the famed Angela Davis at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at College Hall. The culminating event for the fifth annual Women's Week at Penn, Davis' address, "Social Change in the 21st Century," attracted people from both the Penn community and the greater Philadelphia area.

Last April, college campuses around the country mourned the shootings at Virginia Tech, which claimed 32 lives. Only ten months later, five more students have had their lives cut short at a similar tragedy last week at Northern Illinois University. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the family members of the victims.

I've pretty much made up my mind about this: I would like to have a good job someday. While I haven't conducted any scientific testing yet (and I'm seriously questioning whether that grant will ever get approved), I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone. These are different days from those of our parents.
