Doug Glanville put together one of the most successful baseball careers of any Ivy League athlete. After co-captaining Penn's 1991 league championship squad, he went on to hit .277 in nine seasons (1996-2004) patrolling centerfield for the Cubs, Phillies and Rangers.

"If the wars of the 20th century were fought over oil, the wars of the 21st century will be fought over water," said University of Miami School of Communications professor Sanjeev Chatterjee in discussing his motivations for creating One Water, a documentary about the world's water crisis.

Spring break was a much-welcome respite, more so than it's ever been for me in the past. That's because I spent most of January and February living in my suit, hustling for a summer internship in finance. The daily grind of information sessions, networking events, resume drops and interviews is a hallowed coming-of-age ritual for a Whartonite.

Deja vu. The members of the Penn softball team had seen it all too recently as the second game of their doubleheader against Monmouth ended Saturday. After a 1-0 loss in the first game, the Quakers fell to the Hawks by the same score - and in almost the same exact fashion - in the nightcap.

"Rusty" is the best way to describe the Penn women's golf team's performance this past weekend, according to coach Mark Anderson. "That's expected for the first tournament in the spring, especially coming from the northeast," Anderson said. "It's good to have a tournament like this to see what we need to work on, even though we didn't play great.

ST. LOUIS - For Rollie Peterkin, the March 19-21 NCAA Tournament was the same disappointment, just a different year. Just like in 2008, the Penn 125-pound wrestler advanced all the way to the round of 12 - the round just before All-American status is guaranteed - only to lose a close match and see his dreams of placing at nationals go up in smoke.

At its best, Penn baseball is a team with hitters who can knock the ball out of the park and pitchers with special stuff. At their worst, the Quakers are an immature team prone to inconsistency at the plate and on the mound. During its first four-game series of the season, both sides showed up.

Tiredness, rewards, status: it's all in the head, three research studies say. Michael Halassa, a doctoral student in the School of Medicine's neuroscience department, and Philip Haydon, Halassa's former mentor and a professor at Tufts University, collaborated to study astrocyte cells in the brain and their impact on animal sleep behavior.

This Wednesday, the Graduate and Professional School Assembly will vote to pass a proposal that aims to establish a "campus climate survey" that polls student perceptions about campus education and student life. While GAPSA has polled students in the past, the group aims to involve the administration in the process to ensure its repetition and longevity.

A new study by Penn's School of Medicine developed a test to detect Alzheimer's disease in patients in its early stages, before the disease's symptoms start to manifest. Led by Leslie Shaw, the co-director of the Penn Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Biomarker Core, the study was published online in the journal Annals of Neurology this month.

Looking for a bite after your party or in the middle of your all-nighter? Sadly, on Penn's campus, you will soon be out of luck. Philly Diner will soon be closing at 2 a.m. on weekends and 1 a.m. on weekdays. According to the University, this was a joint decision made by the owners and the University in light of a shooting last month near Philly Diner.

Penn's School of Social Policy and Practice turns 100 this year - and there's no better time to celebrate the centennial than "Social Work Awareness Month." March, also designated "Women's History Month," marks the beginning of a contest for female SP2 graduates to win a three-day trip in August to television personality Joan Lunden's getaway in Naples, Maine.

I loved everything about my semester abroad in London - except, of course, how much it cost. I lived frugally, but when a load of laundry sets you back $10, you can't help but feel that you're fighting a losing battle. With many students thinking twice before purchasing so much as a latte, it's easy to assume that a semester abroad - with its high exchange rates and weekend-whirlwind tours - is an impractical indulgence.

Penn's Stephanie Wheeler trailed Columbia's Tess Finkel, 4-2, with thirty seconds left in a first-to-five epee bout at the NCAA Championships. In courageous fashion, the sophomore quickly recorded two touches, sending the bout to overtime, where she ended up winning 5-4.

Men's lacrosse can't be happy enough to get out of New England. A hopeful weekend turned sour after the Quakers were shut down Saturday at No. 16 Harvard, 11-4, then lost a 15-11 shootout at Bryant the next day. After dropping an overtime heartbreaker to Yale over spring break, the Red and Blue (1-5, 0-2 Ivy) hit the road for Ivy League redemption in Cambridge, Mass.

Penn men's golf conquered the wind, questions about their depth, and 19 other teams this weekend in Bethany Beach, Del., so it's certainly understandable that two teams managed to slip through their grasp. Minus their star senior Mike Blodgett, the Quakers used a strong collective effort to finish third among the 22 schools participating in the George Washington Invitational at Bear Trap Dunes.
