Sunday's Undergraduate Assembly meeting marked the final chance for outgoing members to convene for new business. Not going out without a fight, the group's agenda included eight items of new business, lasting four hours. While the Senior Class Board's request for Final Toast and the Meal Donation Proposal deal with more current matters, the proposals on Intellectual Property Rights, Textbook Affordability and class exemption for those celebrating Diwali clearly had an eye to the future.

It is not uncommon at Penn to see students pull out their cell phones in the middle of a lecture and respond to an e-mail or text message from a friend. But students may now have their cell phones out for other reasons - such as checking grades. Last week, Blackboard released Blackboard Learn for Apple iPhone, a free application that lets students use their iPhone or iPod Touch to access information about their courses through notifications and alerts.

One student reported that at times he felt his peers looked at him like he "fills a quota." Another student reported that the atmosphere felt like he "fills a quota." And another student explained that he cringed every time a class discussion started with "I don't mean to be racist, but your people ." The stark truth is that as a community, we have much work ahead of us in creating a wholly inclusive classroom environment.

Last week, Penn announced that the much-anticipated updates to Penn InTouch will take place over the summer. The best part about this announcement of the long-overdue makeover - which will modernize the interface of the current layout - is the timeliness of the process.

Rain or shine, Brett Rendina and the men's golf team are proving that they're among the best in the Northeast.

The hole just keeps getting deeper for the baseball team. After dropping doubleheaders on the road to Brown and Yale this weekend, Penn has lost nine games in a row and remains winless in the Ivy League. Coach John Cole and the team did not make themselves available for comment.

After the buzz about the 2008 election died down on Locust Walk, nine Penn students followed the excitement to the District of Columbia for the Washington Semester Program - the study-abroad experience only a few states away. According to some program directors and participants, the combination of a new administration and a bad economy is spurring more interest in Washington for the Washington Semester Program opportunities.

Lauren Sadaka's match against Yale's Vicky Brook came down to a few points and some debatable calls. However, it didn't end in Sadaka's favor. She lost on a grueling tiebreaker, 4-6, 7-5, 10-6 - her only loss of the weekend in either singles or doubles. "[Lauren's] one of the greatest competitors we've ever had at Penn, and she's the inspiration for everyone else on our team," interim coach Sara Schiffman said.

In its second Ivy League weekend of the season against Brown and Yale, the Penn softball team came away with a pair of firsts - its first three-game win streak of the season and the first collegiate home run for freshman Jamie Boccanfuso. "It was really exciting," Boccanfuso said of her three-run drive to center field that gave the Quakers the lead in game one against Brown in Providence, R.
