Candidates for UA President and Vice President squared off Tuesday evening in the bottom floor conference room of 1920 Commons.

The ban applies to campus residences and all events sponsored by the University or by student groups.

Members of the Class of 2019 and later who have received a score of 5 on AP English exams will be waived from the writing seminar.

The decision was made mostly for financial reasons, Penn President Amy Gutmann said.

Enjoy your last few days eating fries and looking out at unending bridge construction — Commons is about to close its doors indefinitely.

Watson has yet to finalize when she will begin her studies.

Students who fall below the threshold will be automatically transferred to the College.

Athletic Director M. Grace Calhoun has been making a lot of changes in her first year at the helm of Penn Athletics. On Tuesday, Calhoun — after long discussions with the Wharton marketing department — announced that the Quakers would be re-branding the athletic programs as the Penn Red and Blue and adopting a new tree-based mascot. “No, I don’t see any similarity to [Stanford’s athletic program],” Calhoun said when asked of her decision. When it came down to it, Penn athletics decided it needed more of a natural mascot.

"When we heard that Samantha Power would be speaking at Commencement,  we knew we had to... get her boss," Wharton Dean Geoffrey Garrett said.

PHILADELPHIA — She had no idea where she was. Freshman Ilana Bernstein ventured out Wednesday afternoon, looking to find "yet another boring history recitation." But what she found was more shocking and appalling to her than any TA could ever be: a Penn sporting event. "It was honestly the most scarring thing I've seen at Penn," Bernstein said.

Penn Athletics is p cool. Some would say it's v awesome. I like our athletes. Sorry if we ever upset you, but insane props to you for everything you do.

As if the consistent national athletic attention and overwhelming adoration from Pennsylvania’s adolescent population wasn’t enough, Penn State has gained another round of ammo to hold against its longtime Philadelphia rival. To the surprise of the tens of collegiate track and field fans on campus, Penn President Amy Gutmann announced on Tuesday that the historic Penn Relays will be moving to Penn State. “Does this in any way affect Fling?” asked one particularly devoted supporter during Calhoun’s ensuing question and answer session. In what can only be described as one of the great clerical mix-ups in the history of track and field, the first annual Relays — which was held in 1895 — was mistakenly held at Penn and not Penn State, as the events bylaws originally intended.

Witnesses report that Engineering freshman Gavin Schmitt made the statement while studying with friends.

The announcement comes after the grand opening of the Penn Wharton China Center.

It seems that the Lions have turned the tables on Penn and become the poachers. Only a month after Penn football legend Al Bagnoli was announced as Columbia’s new coach, recently-fired Penn basketball coach Jerome Allen has followed suit, taking over the Light Blue program in the aftermath of a middling campaign. Allen was profuse in his praise for his new employer. “I’m not here to praise Columbia,” he said. The announcement — which followed a series of incognito meetings between the former Penn star and Columbia brass — took many by surprise, including former Lions head coach, Kyle Smith. “Excuse,” said a bewildered Smith when informed by Columbia that his services would not longer be needed.

The decision is meant to be more cost-effective and eco-friendly.
