Donald Trump’s rapid advancement in national polls has pundits and voters wondering whether the business magnate’s campaign for president can galvanize Republican voters, or whether his short-term burst of popularity will fade. In a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll released on Tuesday, Trump, 69, led the crowded pack of Republican candidates for president with support from 17 percent of those surveyed.

Penn's Board of Trustees met on June 19 to discuss and approve several major initiatives within the University. The DP summarized some of the highlights.

Trigger warnings in classrooms — although mostly absent at Penn — were part of a national conversation across university campuses in the past twelve months.

The Boston Celtics announced this week that former Penn men’s basketball coach Jerome Allen will join the team in an assistant coaching role.

When I read that Kate Bolick’s book “Spinster: Making a Life of One’s Own” was akin to Betty Friedan’s “Feminine Mystique” in its transformational and generation-defining significance, I immediately picked up a copy. Unfortunately, I was immediately disappointed.

It does not follow that UPenn Alerts adds and accommodates 24,806 students during the fall and spring semesters, yet cannot accommodate a much smaller group that attends classes and works during summer. Why can’t a system which allows staff and faculty to opt out of receiving the messages do the same for students? How is it that a system whose technology doesn’t allow students to opt in conveniently allows a single student from the SP to be added?

It seems that the only successful way to profit off this new paradigm is the “freemium” model, in which you have the option to pay for quality. It’s a natural solution which allows customers to pay what they want. But for this model to be successful and to change what the value of music is, we need to have a discussion about what the value of music should be.

Last season was filled with unfulfilled expectations for both Penn men’s and women’s soccer. However, any disappointing season is partially redeemed by the fact that another lies right around the corner.

One vacancy filled, one to go. Five weeks after women's rowing coach Mike Lane's contract was not renewed, Penn Athletics announced Monday that it has hired former Trinity coach Wesley Ng to take the program's helm.

Even though the start of Penn’s fall semester is weeks away, students are already gearing up for the popular Made in America music festival, whose lineup has just been released.

Philadelphia has once again been chosen to hold an organization’s biggest event of the year — and its theme reflects some of the most prominent movements on Penn’s campus this year.

From August 2 to August 14, Philadelphia’s Center City District will be hosting its biannual Restaurant Week — an event that usually occurs at the end of September.

In the first 100 days since its opening on March 10th, each of Penn’s schools held its own event at the Center, and invited researchers and faculty from institutions around China.

Mondschein Throwing Complex is not a heralded place. Located far down by the Schuylkill River, the training ground for Penn’s field athletes is not exactly a location that is highlighted on campus tours.

In my experience, however, I have found that the true emotional tolls of hook-up culture are understated. So often the committed relationship is portrayed as too draining on the psyche, yet “playing the game” requires an emotional investment just the same.

The Fourth of July, and what it commemorates, serves as a reminder that laws without morals are useless, that unjust rules should be fought. In the midst of the ongoing arguments over the country’s founding principles, the long-held definition of marriage, the heritage represented by the Confederate flag and the best way to move forward as a nation, that idea is something we must hold onto.
